THE GLEAM 7 Alumni Association Organization of the Alumni Association Last year Mr. Pizitz offered to each of the three high schools a prize of one hundred dollars to be awarded to the group of students making the greatest progress in citizenship. Our committee decided to limit the contest to the Literary Societies, the awards to be based on the following points: “prospectus; development within the society; initiation of movements for the advancement of the school.” Until June, 1925, there had been no organization of the Alumni of the Ensley High School. The Shakespearean Literary Society promoted as its contribution to the initiation of movements for the advancement of the school the organization of an Alumni Association. The following officers were elected: President...............................Helen Albert Vice-President.........................Selwyn Smith Secretary-Treasurer....................Clara Warren Only the beginnings have been made. We are looking forward to an active and enthusiastic body of Alumni. -----------o---------- Greetings From the Alumni Greetings from the Alumni! From Michigan, Virginia, Kentucky, all parts of Alabama, in fact from all over the United States, messages of love and greetings come from the Alumni to their beloved Alma Mater, Ensley High School. Although our Alumni Association is quite young we hope to make it one of the most effective and most helpful organizations in furthering the better interests of the school. We are watching all the activities at Ensley High with keen interest. We are interested in everything that Ensley High School is doing. We are backing you! We want to do everything in our power to help you. Although many of us are in the college and business world now, still our thoughts are not centered there entirely for in our hearts remain a great big space filled to overflowing with love for dear old Ensley High. HELEN ALBERT, President.

THE GLEAM 9 American Chemical Society Contest For the past two years the American Chemical Society has offered prizes for the best essays on subjects dealing with Chemistry written by the students of the High Schools of the United States. There are six state prizes awarded to the writers of the best essays on six assigned chemical subjects. The state winners are entered in the national contest. The prize for the winner of the national contest, for boys, a four year scholarship to Yale and for girls, a four year scholarship to Vassal . Jane Summers, 1925, won first place in Alabama and later national honors in the 1924-25 contest. Vassal requires every girl to be seventeen years old before entering and as Jane was only fifteen, she had her scholarship transferred from Vassar to the University of Michigan. PAUL MORROW. ’26. -----------o---------- Do Your Best It has oft’ been said by the men of old That the truest hearts are composed of gold, That the truest lips speak the words sincere, That the mutest ears try the best to hear. It has, too, been said, in the years gonq by That the ones who win are the ones who try. That the ones who try live in joy galore, While the ones who cheat live to try no more. Now, the only truth that I’m to reveal Is to live a’right and from Time don’t steal, Make your minutes count, always do your best, And you’ll find yourself far above the rest. C. F. HfLL, ’25. -----------o--------- Montevallo We are proud of the record of our girls at Montevallo. There were more than seventy-five girls who tried for the Dramatic Club and of this number only six succeeded in making the club. The only Freshman in this successful six was our own Catherine Allen who will play the leading part in the Montevallo play to be given in Auburn, Montgomery, and at Judson College. There is a club in Montevallo which features strongly in the life of the
