QZDC-SSD Interesting Quill Assembly Now, children, sit up straight and fold your hands. This morning we are going to study the Quill. Thus the Quill assembly, held in the form of a country school day session, was opened on Tuesday, October 25. Teacher was impersonated by Dorothy I riedman, editor-in-chief, the superintendent was Stephen Vllrightg and thc pupils were the members of the editorial, business and typing staffs. The song, 'AGood Morning, Dear Teach- er, was rendered with gusto, and many interesting questions were asked in the history class. Some of the most interesting were: lVhen was the first Quill published? and VVho was the first faculty adviser? Long diflicult problems in arithmetic, dealing with the publishing of our mag- azine, were solved by some of the bright boys of the business staff. As was the custom in olden days, Friday afternoon was devoted to a pro- gram by different students. At about three o'eloek who should walk in but the dignified, all-exalted superintendent! After delivering the proverbial speech, hc quizzed the quaking pupils. Then he was entertained by five members of the school, who read some humorous essays and poems. Although this assembly was entertaining and humorous, it brought out very clearly the vital necessity of the Quill to school life. LIDGXJ Fall Play to Be Presentecl H ere How a family of thoughtless spendthrifts was halted in its mad race for excitement, and how this same family tried to adjust itself to difficult circum- stances will be cleverly and humorously revealed in our fall play, The Goosc Hangs High, a modern three-act comedy by Lewis Beach. It will be pre- sented on the evenings of December lst and 2d under the direction of the dramatic coach, Mrs. Lillian Getty Bridges. The play has been very popular and is modern, having been first presented in New York City in 1924-. It is very well balanced from the standpoint of character. The plot of the story centers around the lngals family. Grandmother Brad- ley, who heartily disapproves of modern youth and 'the frivolity displayed by l,ois and Bradley, furnishes niueh of the humor of the play.

QIDGXJ Clubs at East High Help Decorate During the past year it has been the policy of several of the clubs to help decorate the stadium for the football games. By this method a friendly sort of rivalry has developed between several of the clubs in their endeavor to make their decorating the most attractive. This rivalry has become so keen that it has induced the Euclidean Club and the Student Council to join ranks with the Forensic and li lilpi Tan in making thc decorations this year an accomplishment that will be a standard for years to follow. QIQGXJ Classes Issue Challenges Two classes, proud of their records in attendance and scholarship, respec- tively, have issued challenges to every other class in school. Miss Cumming's home room 20-L has given out the following challenge: Can any home room cqual or surpass the attendance record of home room 204-? 'Dur- ing the first seven weeks of thc semester, there was only one absence, and that was due to illness. Miss .lnrdan's first period French class challenges the school: Can any class equal or surpass the scholarship record of our first period French class, room 1l7? For the first seven weeks of this semester, our class grades averaged a very high 2-I-5 in this class of eighteen there were no tives, but two fours, twenty threes, twenty-eight twos, and twenty-six ones.
