Various problems of teaching Eng- lish and a program of examination of text books were discussed. Mrs. Biggs, who studied courses in reading guid- ance at Chautauqua. New York, last summer, suggested a free reading pro- gram. It was suggested to devote one period a week to supervised free read- ing in the eighth and ninth grades.

Nagel Analyzes Bible The Reverend Floyd Nagel, pastor of the United Brethren church, spoke to the Bible study class Friday, Oc- tober 9, on the analysis of the modern Bible. The old testament was originally written in Hebrew, the new testament in Greek, according to Mr. Nagel. The Bible has been translated into over nine hundred forty different lang- uages. These translations were made possibile through the sacrificial work of many. To illustrate his address the Rev- erend Nagel displayed posters and gave the members of the class pamph- lets containing the third chapter of John, the sixteenth verse in twenty- two different languages. It’s a Boy The stork stopped at Superintendent Dykhouse's the other day, and It won't be long before there'll be an- other fellow walking around the school with a jolly smile, saying. “Turn around there. Smith.” We’ll bet that David Jay (that's his name) will be an Eagle Scout when he’s five years old and through school at ten. Mr. Dykhouse was overhead to say soon af.er the arrival of the youngest, “I think I’ll start him in kindergarten before he’s five. That seems so long to wait. Well, best of luck with him Mr. Dykhouse. All he has to do is follow in his father’s footsteps to be one of the city’s best loved men.

SEVENER SEVENER Physicians and Surgeons Williams Explains, Demonstrates Liquid Air In the first lyceum number of the year given at the Eaton Theatre, Janies Williams, medical studeut at the University of Minnesota. . plained and demonstrated the prop- erties of liquid air. Mr. Williams first explained that air as well as water exists in three states; solid, liquid, and gas. Liquid air has the very low temperature of 297 de- grees below zero Fahrenheit. He demonstrated the fact that liquid air can not be kept in a tightly closed container because of the very great expansive power It | ossesses. Mr. WII- Hums caused a miniature steam en- gine to run by means of liquid air After freezing a rubber bull In liquid air it shattered just like an electric light bulb when thrown to the floor. A hammer was produced of mercury by freezing it in a mold with liquid air. He made an alcohol popcicle and a kerosene candle. Perhaps the most unusual of his experiments was cutting a wire screen by meit'ng it, using a cigar dipped in liquid air. as a blow torch. To conclude the program he per- formed the difficult and dangerous experiment of pouring liquid air Into his mouth, using it as a mouth wash.

This is the third year the Charlotte citizens have sponsored such an event and have successfully made Hallowe’en a night of merriment and excitement rather than of lawlessness and destruction. The community is spending a large amount of money and effort in putting this party across and we should deep- ly appreciate it. The people of this city have taken apparent interest in our welfare and wish us to have as much benefit from education and en- tertainment as possible. They are sponsoring an event which should furnish material to write several pages in our diaries. We remember the fine party given us last year and the year before; the one Saturday night is to be even bigger and better. After regarding all these things we should be ready for the party In the highest of spirits and with the at- titude that we want to show our ap- preciation to the community for this rare treat in store for us by doing Just a little bit in return for a whole lot. The Honor Roll There are two goals we are striv- ing to reach. They are: to be on the honor roll, and to go to the honor banquet. The honor roll is posted every marking period. Any student having fourteen points on his report card is eligible. A. B, C, D. count four, three, two, and one. respectively. If we are on the honor roll every marking period we are invited to go to the honor banquet. The honor banquet Is held at the end of the year. After the banquet there is a dance held especially for the honor students. If your name Is not on the honor roll work hard and strive to get on it. if at first you don't succeed try and try again. IN THE SPOTLIGHT College Chimes Ding, dong! Ding, dong! Bells, college bells, recently chimed their song, calling the young men and wo- men of the world to a place where they could enrich their lives with learning. Long ago men learned the value of knowledge and the practical applica- tions they could make of their learn- ing. Probably the greatest aid to edu-1 cation was the invention and use of I writing. The early Egyptian hierogly- phics developed into our present day alphabet and method of preserving our thoughts for future generations. In medieval times the religious recluses kept alive the ancient literature of Rome and Athens. In America our first institutions of high- er learning were Latin schools or acadamles. Our great college . Harvard. Yale. Vassar. William and Mary, are the products and receive the heritage of these early ‘•colleges. Are we going to college? That is a question we must all decide for our- selves. We cannot let our families, friends, and teachers influence our de- j cisions. We should go to college only if we want to go so badly that we cannot stay away and are willing to sacrifice in order to go. said Mr. Dykhouse. This subject requires some serious thought on the part of each one of us. Let’s use our heads and think for our- selves. But regardless of whether we. ourselves, go to college or not. we must always remember that we owe much to our colleges and universities. Delores Bouska is working at the Green Meadows tea room. Mr. Robert Leo Beaubier (known to his public as Bob Bobier) unfolded his lanky height and came dociley to be interviewed, which relieved me immensely. It was a dark rainy day and we curled up in easy chairs back stage while I probed into the past. (O boy) present, and future, of this likable Frenchman. It seems that Bob's granddaddy (or somebody 'way back) came to our fair country from across the ocean (de- finitely not on the Mayflower) in France. Then the romantic Beaubier” was changed to Bobier’’. as It Is now. Perhaps that accounts for his attrac- tion to that country. It cannot be the sweet, feminine, blondes of his adora- tion, at least we don’t think he’d find many there. Enthusiastically our senior friend said his hobby is hunting with his two dogs. Bing and Rex”, and to prove it— I’ve been hunting every day since the season opened! Beat that! Chop suey and hash he just can’t stand, and all mixtures suffer the same verdict. Coming back to the ever present subject of girls. I found that they had better be sweet and feminine to get along wKh Bob (or Leo. us you please). Also the no smoking or drinking blonde is his favorite. Jean Harlow, preferably with the flaxen tresses, is his favorite movie star. To show his popularity among them his classmates recently elected Bob president of the senior class. He is also president of the F. F. A. and vice president of the Hi-Y. Well known for his good humor (he’s almost never angry), versatility, and friend- liness. Bob Bobier has gained an honored place among his many friends. Elith Wonser. Cecelia Schroeder, and Joe Simek are employed by Hans Kardel. Frances Bryan. Ruth Hina, and Al- lison Rumrill are working at the Kellogg foundation.

Were the report cards encouraging? They should have been. it seems we have extra help in the cheer leading section. Guess who! Jack Kilian left his model T in Lansing over night and when he went after It there was a nice red ticket on It. Some fun—eh Jack? Mr. linger missed some lovely passes from Harlo Dewey at football practice not long ago. His last clean shirt wasn’t clean any more after this we hear.

And wait till all the sen- iors start showing you theirs.—The seniors, by the way. have Christmas cards on sale, vous savez (you know). You remember the old adage, do your Xmas shopping early! —Ray- mond Putman hunts as well as he plays football. He brought home three pheasants the other day.—Jack Garlinghouse was seated (by the teacher) on the highroom stage the other day. 7th hour.
