VlCTROLAS VICTOR RECORDS H. B. KURTZ BRUNSWICK PHONOGRAPHS PUBLIC SPEAKING PROGRAMS. In assembly, January 14th, the students and teachers of C. H. S. were favored with one of the delightful programs arranged by the public speaking class, Frances Appleby acting as chairman. The first number on the program was a reading given by Marian Pinches, and entitled, “Polonius' Advice to Laertes.” Perhaps some may profit by this bit of worldly wisdom found in Shakespeare’s “Hamlet.” The second number was given by Margaret Reeves. This selection was “The Proud Lady,” by Ilenry Van Dyke. Richard Boyink then gave a pleasing reading entitled “His Country’s Call.” This was taken from Scott’s “Marmion.” Margaret Saville presented the fourth number, entitled “An Order for a Picture,” written by Alice Cary, after which Elsie Anderson gave a reading entitled “Nobility,” which was written by the same author. The last number, given by Eulala Lewis, was “The Highwayman,” written by Alfred Noyes. The program as a whole, was very well arranged, and all of the selections were given in a pleasing manner. Margaret Saville and Eulala Lewis gave introductions before their readings, making them especially interesting. On January 21st, another interesting program was enjoyed, with Frances Appleby again acting as chairman. The first number was a reading, “The Break in the Dyke, given by Lydia Payne, and written by Phoebe Cary. The students and teachers then joined in the singing of “Sunrise” and “Castles in the Air,” under the leadership of Miss Darrow. The next number was presented by John Wardwell. This was entitled “The Youth Who Wore an M,” written by Mulluch. The last number on the program was given by Elsie Thayer. This was a short reading, “When Earth’s Last Picture is Painted,” by Kipling. Both of these programs were very much enjoyed, and those appearing were well rewarded for their hard work in endeavoring to make the programs successful. ANNUAL FOOTBALL BANQUET. On Saturday evening, January 29th, the members of the first and second C. H. S. football teams enjoyed their annual banquet. This gala affair was held in the superintendent’s office in the High Specialists in Clothes of the “BetterrrUp r Yf Whit TIG V Co Kind” for the Young Men. J ’’

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?

H. B. KURTZ Diamonds - Watches - Jewelry School, with Superintendent Dickey, Miss Kahler, J. C. Keidel, and Edmund Leahy as honor guests. The members of the domestic science department served a delicious four-course dinner which was speedily partaken of by the football men. The members of the art department also deserve credit for the artistic menus and place cards, which were effectively designed with pigs and footballs. Following the banquet, a number of toasts were given, Superintendent Dickey acting as symposiarch. The following clever speeches were given: “Pigs,” by Henry Puffer, “Pig’s Skin,” by Frank Sanford, “Pig Skin Chasers,” by Lome Campbell, “Rooters,” by Miss Kahler. “He Fain Would Fill His Belly With the Husks,” by Lloyd Davis, and “Civilized Beneath the Pig’s Skin,” by Captain Lafferty. After the toasts were given, “C’s” were awarded to the following fifteen players: James O’Connor, Neil Lafferty, Henry Puffer, Howard Puffer, Raymond Smith, Frank Sanford, Lloyd Davis, George Wood, Ilmari Kananen, Thomas McKenzie, Leon Woodworth, Lome Campbell, Clarence Belnap, Arthur Blackman, and Otto Steele. The absence of the sixteenth player, Roy Leahy, was deeply regretted, for none deserved a “C” more than he. The election of captain then took place, Leon Woodworth being named Captain of the Football Team of 1921. GIRLS ENJOY “EATS '. On Wednesday evening, January 19th, the members of the Girls’ Basketball Team turned their practice into a social affair, and a tureen supper was highly enjoyed in the Domestic Science room. The girls did justice to the “eats,” and voted to repeat the affair soon. Hey! Whose Tattler are you reading? Let’s go! Let’s have some Pep! Boost Basketball Better. Patronize our Advertisers. Say!
