g X Let's see how many rooms will answer these challen res' some interestin . n, 7 competition ought to develop. 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.

Q X H zmgry? East High likes potato soup better than chili-con-earne. Three gallons of chili will put enough heat into the students to last them at least until they can get home and raid the pantry, while six gallons of potato soup are necessary to produce the same results. ' Nine loaves of bread and ten dozen rolls on which students have spread five pounds of butter, daily follow the little red lane to destruction. Five peeks of potatoes are eagerly peeked by the same gobblers. Two hundred and eighty-eight people contentedly munch their Oh Johnnysj' while pie and cake fans consume twenty-six pies and six large cakes daily. However great the quantities our appetites require may seem, the weights are just as surprising. East High cats considerably over two tons every month. Though lunch time is one of the pleasantest periods, it is also one of the busiest, and hasn't it reason to be? Here is approximately what we eat every month: 138 gallons of soup. 217 loaves of bread. 230 dozen rolls. 253 pounds of butter. 115 peeks of potatoes. 872 quarts of milk. 698 pies. 6,62-L bars of candy. Our cooks, like Ichabod Crane, probably have nightmares of floods of soup and brown gravy on which they are stranded in the center of a frail cherry pie. They float down the gushing Hood to Butter Island, which immediately melts and leaves them again to their fate. We, however, who are safe on Bread Mountain, send forth relief in the shape of a baking dish and a soup ladle manned by six Irish Potatoes, who bring them safely ashore. There is one consolation, however, with which we can be comforted. Wle can lay part of the blame, or most of it if you like, on our faculty, because they help to devour some of this great amount of hash.,' CZDGXJ Social Service-A ttention! A very apparent need has been brought to the attention of the East High faculty and students lately, that is-a school for the instruction of ambitious eats and dogs. Not a few times the poor down-trodden creatures have been driven from the door of opportunity in spite of their honest and repeated efforts to gain entrance thereto. In fact, after a council held on Mr. Burton's back lawn one dark night, it was decided to send the most capable delegate to plead their cause before the unyielding public, and on the next morning while a picture of one of America's greatest statesmen was being shown on the screen, the bold representative of the feline and canine council appeared. He was undauntcd in his purpose, and was not in the least nnnerved by the numbers watching him, but bravely held his place where many of his bctters have quaked. Most earnestly did he plead his cause and he was greatly applauded by the spectators. Surely, it can be ar- ranged to notify Mutt and Jeff of this desire for learning so that they will turn their efforts from the Home for Blind Mice to the Bow-Meow Training School. Page Twenty-'nine
