For instance, there was the funeral of the Delta Kappa Society. The Alpha Sigmas remained in silence while the casket, draped in the Delta Kappa colors, was carried into the room. The casket was followed by a number of mourners. An eloquent oration was given by Francis Godwin. Then an appropriate song, O Happy Day, was sung. Much grief was shown by the mourners and tears were wrung by pints from the great red bandanna handkerchief carried by one of the mourners. Some members, however, that we fear were not very sincere in their grief, declared that the handkerchief had been previously soaked in water. Be that as it may, the program was thoroughly enjoyed by all present. ' . T Some very good musical numbers were given at different programs and there have also been good readings, jokes, and other interesting features. There are several members of the Alpha Sigma Literary Society who debate very well. Both members of the High School Debate Team are Alpha Sigmas and others of our society belong to the Debate Club. T Then, too, Homer Martz, the Alpha Sigma boy representative in the,High School,Declamatory Contest, won Hrst place and represented .us in the County Contest, winning first place. This means that he will be our representative at Warrensburg. F All of the members of this society are very proud of the silver loving cup given us by the People's Bank last year for track work. All who belong to the society are enthusiastic, and are proud of it. 03112 nfllbur lirngranm April 6, 1917. - Dialogue .... I ..... t ......... ..................

Every speaker gave his or her speech in a pleasing and interesting manner. Doris Denton won first place over Ruth Wyatt and Leatha Baird and Homer Martz won over Logan Price. The contestants were dividcd equally between the Delta Kappa and the Alpha Sigma societies, Doris Denton representing the Delta Kappas and Homer Martz the Alpha Sigmas. - In the County Contest, which was held in Butlerfthere was only one other high school besides Butler represented. Hume brought over a boy and a girl contestant. We were confident that our two declamers would win the contest. DoriseDe3'1ton, giving The Convict's Christmas Eve, spoke extraordinarily well and all of Butler's rooters thought that she won easily, but the judges were the ones who decided. They thought that the Hume girl deserved first place, so we lost in the girls' contest. - ' But we were not to be disappointed altogether. Homer Martz won first place in the boys' contest and will not only represent B. H. S. butalso Bates County at Warrensburg. He spoke The Puzzled Dutchman well andgave many good imi- tations, which were pleasing to his audience. We feltthat we got our share of the spoils but we wanted to carry off all the honors. First place at Warrensburg is our goalnow, and we expect a great deal of the representatives of Bates County. WALTER E. w1LL1AMs, '18, Sixty-three
