The plogram consi ted of a reading given by Georgiana Spratte, entitled 'My Alibi,N and ity,u in which a student re sisted the bad habits of lazi ness, indifference, careless ness, etc , and by joining with the good habits of industry, honesty, and loyalty, won the success toward which she was striving The faculty felt that the program was well presented and very beneficial, and the girls were asked to repeat it at the Grade School. AMATEUR HAMLET For the second program of the year we presented a one act play entitled nThe Amateur Ham let U The plot was quite in teresting and exciting showing the difficulties Bill, a high school Junior, got into while practicing at home for his part 1n Hamlet he did not tell his mother that he was in the play because h feared she would not let him continue, and when whe found him doing queer things, she feared that he was ill and called a doctor to ex amine him A high spot in the action came when Bill stabbed at the curtains to kill Poloni us and discovered that he had hit Hilda the maid over the head with his cane.

IMPRESSIONS OF A NEW STUDFNT Every year Brentwood Iigh School opens its doors to stu dents from other schools, often large city high schools Th student com1ng into a new school will be impressed either favorably or unfavorably with his school work, teachers, fel low students, and the activi ties in the school Naturally he must be favorably impressed if he is to enjoy his scholas tic and social activities 1 Brentwood High School, and will soon learn to appreciate its high scholastic, social, and athletics standards The new student arrives during a semester from a large city high school, and is very much worried about how many credits he may lose and how many subjects he will have t drop But he finds that h will be able to continue his courses with little alteration in his schedule. Having been accustomed to the ways of a large city high school h thinks he w1ll be Just swept along with the mass of fellow students and not be regarded may not be up with the other students in the work being carried on in the class H thus mlght fear that he will fail a subject or two and lag behind a year o so Brentwood! The school is con veniently small and the teach ers are wllling and in a posi tion to help the student lndi vidually who really needs lt Due to the fact that the school is small,the new student is more readily able to adjust himself to his new environment with the ready aid of his fel low students and the faculty. He soon feels at home, and be gins to engoy a balanced school day of work and pleasurable activities He soon finds an outlet for his literary, musi Cal, and athletic abilities, and if he has special talents and abilities they are more easily recognlzed and developed in a.small group With an excellent staff of faculty members, a good clean cut student body, and a varied program of studies, interesting sports, and extra curr1cular activities, I am sure it will not take the new student long to become happy in his new home in Brentwood High, so that he 'will live happily ever af e .
