-lm. THANKSG For the month preceding Thanksgiving a spirit of excitement reigned in the Schurz halls. The fever of the school could be measured by the big thermometer in the middle of the center entrance. The doctor, Mr. lohnson, had decided that a fever of S1000 degrees was necessary for the recovery of the patient, and apple taffies, ribbons, carnations, football programs printed in our own shops, and motion pictures spon- sored by the Movie Appreciation Club all inched the mercury higher and higher. The efforts made to help the patient were not all the students, however. The faculty contributed generously, led by Mrs. Butler who held an Open House for her students.

LIES the program were cc reading of ln Flander's Field by Marilyn Weaver, a speech by Colonel Wigham, and songs in memory of those who gave their lives in the World War. Pep meetings held prior to the Schurzlane and Schurz-Austin games presented a different type of program. An unusual assembly was the mock-election in which President Roosevelt was elected by an overwhelming majority. Pro- fessor Scott of Northwestern University gave a lecture on What stuff men must be made of at an assembly given on December lU. The newly organized Parent-Teachers' Asso- ciation of Schurz sponsored an assembly on December l7 for the purpose of explaining the advantages of this organization. Mrs. Mason, the president, introduced the other officers. Mr. Bell, district superintendent, spoke on the P. T. A. The German department gave a most delight- ful Christmas program in which Old German Christmas hymns were sung. St. Nicholas came with a tree and gifts for the audience. The new system of assemblies was a com- plete success, and we wish to offer Mr. lohnson and Miss Grossenbacher our utmost apreciation and thanks.
