After the opening of the meeting we proceeded to elect officers. The officers chosen were: Dorothy Riche, President, Grace DeGunther, Vice Presi- dent, and Beulah Eberly, Secretary and Treas- urer. We also held the election of officers for the school paper at this time. Then a committee was appointed to arrange a program for the next meeting of September 25. A special program was arranged for the last Friday of each month, in which all the pupils take part. The general outline of the programs are: Instrumentals, readings, talks, solos, songs, dia- logues, jokes, spelling contests, and other special numbers. On November 9th our president, Dorothy Riche, left us and was succeeded by the vice pres- ident, Grace DeGunther. A change of officers was made on November 4th. The new officers were: Ruth Tielkemeier, President, Ruth Eberly, Vice Presidentg and Lu- cile Meier, Secretary and Treasurer. An enjoy- able feature of the programs was the roll call.

Through the Editor's Eyes There's Edwin, he never won any prizes at beauty contests, but neither did any of the rest of us, so we'll let it go at that. Jason is a mighty fine boy. The only trouble is that he sits too close to Ruth E. and his eyes are becoming weak from too strenuous exercise. Alvin, better known as Dixon, is O. K., only he's a little fresh even for a Freshman. Ruth Eberly should work in a doll factory. She could make the eyes. Beulah is in a class by herself. When we describe Myron we might call him tall but we must leave off the graceful. Arnold doesn't depend upon size to make his presence known. Ruth T. is the wit and near wit of the school. Grace fills the biggest place, nor can any of us contest her in that line. Luella is a country product who isn't green. You can't be a midget if you intend to look down on Viola. Lucile has the sweet pet name of Honey, We guess it was Edwin that originated that name. Only S1 25 per year Order it now Edward DeGunther Editor E E H THE DAVIS LEADER H E ,
