Page Twenty-Two TIIE TATTLER MARGARET RICH, Editor. On Wednesday, Dee. 12, the High School students listened to a very interesting talk given by Captain Ralph Durkee, a former High School student and athlete. He told of army life and presented a clear picture to the minds of all who listened to him of how Uncle Sam goes about to mal e an officer. In one part of his talk he said to the boys: “Boys, don’t think I want you to enlist, rather, 1 would say, ‘don t enlist. Finish your high school course. Get an education so that, when the time comes, you may till tin places of tin men who have heard the Great Call and answered it. Nothing is accomplished in this world without an education and tin sooner you realize this and make the most of your opportunities while you are in high school, tin more value you will be to yourself and to the world.” 11 is talk was an inspiration to all who heard it and more than one of us resolved to begin working a little harder and getting a little more out of the advantages that are now ours. Mr. Williamson sang “Keep tin Home Fires Burning,” while the whole school joined in the chorus. After singing tin1 “Star Spangled Banner” we disbanded, each one of us fired with a resolve to make the most of our opportunities while we may. The Christmas program was given by the Public Speaking Class and the Girls' Glee Club on Friday. Dec. 22. The program was as follows: High School orchestra.

THE TATTLER Page Twenty-Three Reading—The Birds Are Taught to Fly, Alyce Kurtz. Talk on Folksongs, Miss Taylor. Group of Folksongs, Girls’ Glee Club. Reading—When the Pie Was Open, the Birds Began To Sing, Clara Macbeth. All the numbers were splendidly given and were much appreciated, especially the readings by Alyce Kurtz and Clara Macbeth. The Public Speaking Class has brought out much talent that has heretofore been unknown in the school. On Friday evening, Dec. 14, the annual banquet for the football men was held in the High School. The banquet, given by five of the mothers of the Senior hoys and the Athletic Association, was served by the Domestic Science class. There were over thirty football men in attendance and all present said the affair was a complete success. Edmond Lehigh was made captain of the team for next season. The football banquet has become an annual affair and is looked forward to by the hoys as a fitting climax to their weeks of hard work. After the football banquet Friday evening there was a Christmas party given by all the members of the High School. All interested in flu school were cordially invited to attend and many parents and ex-highs availed themselves of the opportunity. The first part of the evening was devoted to an entertainment given by the eight literary societies, and was a howling success. The stunts were performed so cleverly and were so unique that that part of the evening will long remain a happy memory to all who attended. The performing of the stunts proved to a good many people that there is an abundance of talent in the high school. After the entertainment was over, the remainder of the evening was devoted to dancing and games. Dancing was enjoyed in the gym., music being furnished by the high school orchestra, while games were played in the upper corridors for those who did not dance. Throughout the evening punch was served, and at a late hour the party broke up. Everyone voted it the best party ever, and many expressed a wish for more of the good times that were enjoyed that evening. After the basketball game with Ashtabula Harbor, Friday, Jan. 11, an impromptu party was enjoyed in the gym for all who cared to stay. Music was furnished by Dorothy Durkee on the piano and Mendel Jones on the drums. After having witnessed two good games of basketball, it is no wonder that everyone felt hilarious and wanted to get on the floor and do a little jumping around for themselves.
