THE ZEPHYRUS says ‘“‘Let him who would move and convince others, be first moved and con- vinced himself.”’ Let us work faithfully and grow strong in this phase of school work. The other of these two societies is the ‘““Wauregan,”’ whose name is the Indian word for ‘‘still water.” This is a literary society formed for the promotion of literary activity and research among its members. It consists of about sixty-five students of the High School. At the first regular meeting, held Fri- 15 day, November 6, the constitution was adopted and the permanent officers elected for the school year. The follow- ing were elected: Edwin Short, presi- dent; Hattye Kopp, vice-president; Bessie Hess, secretary-treasurer. After the busines; of the meeting a literary program consisting of six num- bers was rendered. The constitution provides that each member of the so- ciety shall be on the program at least twice a school year. The meeting ad- journed to meet a month later. EXCHANGES ‘‘News,”’ from the High School of Eu- gene, is an attractive paper. We acknowledge the receipt of the Whirlwind.” Some longer stories would improve it. All of our old exchanges are not on this year’s list. but we hope to see them all again before very long. Hood River High School’s first at- tempt at journalism is good and we hope that it will be successful in every way. y We are glad to have the “Oregon Monthly” on our exchange list. Lischen Miller’s ‘‘The Master Key” is a beautiful little poem. The ‘ Bugle Call” is a unique paper. We hope it will grow, for we believe you have material which, if developed and utilized, would make a better represen- tative of your school. The ‘‘Crimson and Gray,’ of the Dallas High School, is the second on our list whose first issue was the November number. The article on Oklahoma and Indian Territory is interesting.

14 I don’t believe in English— The foolish, tricky goods; Them “ain’t’s” and “hain’t’s” are all correct, Just as them ‘‘would’s” and “‘should’s.”’ Fact is, I don’t believe at all In studying hard at school; For their new-fangled systems Are not up to my rule. If a course of sport were taken in Vd be Johnny on the spot; School Wotes School opened this year with an atten- dance of one hundred and fifty students. The enrollment is the largest in the his- tory of the High School. A course of typewriting and stenog- raphy, under the direction of Professor Imel, has been added to the list of High School studies. Miss Wilma Young, one of the Senior girls, left with her father November 10 to spend the winter months in California. Hamilton Garner, who has been atten- ding High School this term, has accepted a position in the Clatsop mill. A most enjoyable evening was spent at a reception given to the football team by the students of the High School on Saturday evening, November 7, at Lo- gan hall. The hall was appropriately decorated for the occasion with purple and gold.

For oh, I do believe in fun— Yes, really, truly do; If you’ll take the point to everyone You’ll find that they do, too. —Fanny Gregory, 710. A. R. [in Senior English] ‘‘Little, littler, littlest.” We all love our teachers. This year the rhetoricals of the A. H. S. are being conducted on a different plan from that of former years. There have been formed two literary societies—one of which has been named the ‘‘Alfredian Society,’ for the great patron of learning, King Alfred. The purpose of this society is to pro- mote the literary interests of its present members and those who, from time to time, shall become members of it. It is hoped that the work done in the AI- fredian Society may prove it worthy of its name and purpose. A constitution and by-laws have been acopted by the society and the fellowing officers have been elected: Carl Thomas, president; Betsy Wootton, vice-presi- dent; Alice Reed, secretary; Nellie Sal- von, treasurer. Tn a literary society, as in any other organization, there must be a society spirit and a hearty co-operation of its members; and we believe that these conditions will prevail throughout the society and that each member will take it upon himself to see that his part is well and faithfully done. We must build up a strong, wide- last year, has bestowed honor upon our awake society, so that the incoming stu- school by pointing out Kenneth Parker, dents may feel honored to be asked to captain of the A.
