On the evening of January 8th, the members of the Smith Literary society entertained the members of their sister society, the Victoria, at a party given at the High School. The first part of the evening was spent in the gymnasium where various contests took place, among them bean racing, cracker eating, nail driving, girls’ relay, and apple grabbing contests. Celeste Cantlin won the bean racing contest, while Janet Donovan excelled in nail driving. Lucille Crandall was the captain of the girls’ team that won the relay race. In the apple grabbing contest, Grant. Eighmy devoured his the quickest, therefore winning the contest. The crowd then assembled in the corridors, where the Smith quartette entertained them with their singing. This quartette was composed of Lloyd Brace on the piano, Lloyd Davis, Joseph Dawley. and Lome Campbell. Following this, Robert Brydle gave a unique and ludicrous dance entitled “Why Young Ladies Leave School.’’ lie was accompanied by a saxaphone trio. The remainder of tin evening was spent in dancing, music being furnished by Lloyd Brace’s orchestra. During intermission, refreshments were served by Smith waiters. The party was chaperoned by Superintendent and Mrs. C. M Dickey, Miss Kahler, Dr. and Mrs. Booth, and Mr. Henry. BASKETBALL RALLY. Tn assembly, January 7th, the first basketball rally of the season was held in anticipation of the hoys’ game with Ashtabula Harbor, and the girls’ game with Geneva. Mr. Keidel appeared with a bag of blue and white “bugs,’ the blue representing loyalty, and the white, justice, honor, anJ fair-play. These were then given to the people who were to sell tickets but before they could accomplish this task. Mr. Kidel showed them how to prepare the knees, the head, the eyes, the ears, (which exercise the girls could not take because of their manner of dressing the hair), and the chin. This last exercise was to make their speech convincing. The audience was then instructed, by exercises, how to open their pocketbooks and to beckon for the people who were selling tickets. The members of both teams were then called to the stage and presented with “Basketball Bugs,” after which the rally was concluded with cheers led by Lloyd Brace.

The second part of the program was a short play entitled “The Florist Shop.’ The scene of the play was laid in a florist shop in the early morning of a brilliant April day. Those taking part in the play were Lloyd Brace, as Slovsky, the proprietor of the florist shop, GeGrtrude Lillie as Maude, the bookkeeper, who tried to bring happiness to everyone, Robert Brydle as Henry, the office boy, Celeste Cant-lin as Miss Wells, a faded and sweet spinster, and Clarence Risley as Mr. Jackson, who had been engaged to Miss Wells for fifteen years. Each part was well played, showing that much time had been spent in endeavoring to make the play a success. The last part of the program was given by eleven girls dressed in pretty costumes. Miss Dorothy Westover first appeared and sang “A Pretty GGirl Is Like a Melody.” Then the chorus appeared, composed of Etta Clemens, Velma Holcomb, Ada Noyes, Leota Babbitt, Lucille Morton, Geraldine Glenn, Elizabeth Cossitt, Evangeline Fancier, Viola Dickson, and Eva Gunion. These girls gave a graceful little dance, this concluding the wonderful “Joy Night” program. The profits derived from the entertainment are to pay the expenses accumulated by the Armistice Day parade, and also the expenses of the library, which are many. CHRISTMAS VACATION. On December 17th, C. H. S. closed its doors for the annual Christmas vacation. This fact was not at all regretted by either teachers or students. Many spent the holidays out of town visiting friends and relatives, while most of the teachers returned to their homes. On January 3rd everyone returned with renewed spirit to take up the struggle with mid-year exams. Let’s not be defeated! CHRISTMAS MATRIMONY. A very pretty wedding ceremony was performed on Christmas afternoon, when Miss Edith Nance became the bride of Dr. D. H. Booth of this city. The wedding took place at the home of the bride in Jefferson, Ohio. C. H. S. congratulates Dr Booth, and wishes them both happiness and success. Say! What’s the matter with a wireless in C. H. S.?

“Hallmark”—means Quality 11. R. KURTZ CHRISTMAS PROGRAMME. In the assembly, December 17th, a very pleasing entertainment was given, including songs and reading; all portraying the spirit of Christmas. At the beginning of the programme, Miss Kahler read the old, old Christmas story of the birth of the Christ-ehild in the city of Bethlehem so many years ago. Following this, the members of the Girl’s Glee Club proved their talent by singing “The Evergreen” and “The Light of Bethlehem.” A humorous reading was then given by La Vera Stoneman, entitled “Jest ’Fore Christmas,' and written by Eugene Fields. This was renderd in a very pleasing manner and was immensely enjoyed by her hearers. Clara Harvey then gave an interesting reading entitled “A Christmas Present For a Lady.” This was doubly interesting since it was a true story, written by one of New York’s most successful teachers, Miss Myra Kellar, who is also gifted as a writer. The concluding number was the song “Holy Night,” by the Girls’ Glee Club. ASSEMBLY—DECEMBER 10. On Friday afternoon, December 10th, an interesting and instructive program was given, in which the members of the Library Staff took part. Norman Hawn, the first speaker, after informing us as to the location of the library, explained in a general wajy the things we might find there if we were in search of more knowledge along the various branches of study. Following Norman’s speech, Cleman Rhoads offered some criticisms and suggestions on the use of the library. He said, what we all should know, that it is intended for study, and not physical exercise, as some seem to think. We should use it, but use it right! The next speaker, Lloyd Brace, explained the use of the “Readers’ Guide,” which is a new and valuable asset to our library. Joseph Dawley then told about the magazines which may be found in our library, including fictional, instructional, educational and scientific material. The last speaker, Walter Shearer, told about the coming “Joy Night,” which proved to be a great success for C. H. S., and which so truthfully lived up to its title. Know any good jokes?
