The bus- iness of the VVelfare Committee is to discover the causes for continued ab- sences from school, and thus to foster a spirit of fraternal interest in the individual.

MISS DUSENBURY RETURNS AFTER LONG ABSENCE VVe are glad to have back with us our efficient librarian, Miss Corrie Dusenbury, who was injured last spring when the car in which she was riding overturned. During her ab- sence, Mrs. Rhame has proved to be a competent substitute. Pupils of Miss Amelia Dubose and of the whole school will be glad to know that she is improving, though she is yet unable to return to her work. She has been sick for several weeks. and lately has been a patient at McLeod Infirmary. Mr. Singleton is substituting for her during her absence. , COOPERATIVE ASSOCIATION FINDS QUARTERS The room next door to Mr. Briggs' office, which will be 209, has been remodelled and furnished for the meeting place of the Council of the Students, Cooperative Association. A long table in the center provides seat- ing room for the members, and a desk has been installed for the use of the secretary. A chair near the desk is occupied by the member of the House who wishes to bring a bill before the Council. The two horses crossed the finish line nose and nose. But you said your horse won. t'He did. He stuck out his tongue. SONNET WRITTEN BY A LITTLE INDIAN GIRL I own 'twas so. She said I dreamed in class- VVho would not dream? 'Twas some chance word she saidg I have forgotton whatg the color red Perhaps, or just a prism through the glass. Enough to free my soul and let it pass From those four walls. Stripped of the dead Dull commonplace, singing through space it sped Above cold seas of azure and topaz, To lands whose ships lay gleaming in the sun .

Poor, cheated class that heard but chemistry, And missed the evening bells ol' Arcady.

THE FLORENTINE CLASSES MAKE FINE START Members of the Freshman class making excellent records in scholar- ship for the first semester were Julia Baker, Leon Mims and Billie Elliott. .lulia Baker and Leon Mims were elected to the Council from the Fresh- man class for the first semester of this year. Members of the house are Billy Elliott, Bertie Gregg and Buena Allen. ' The new Freshman class has fallen in line with all student activities, es- pecially pep meetings and games. Due to the depression, the sale of chapel seats has not proved as profitable as heretofore. During the first report period, the Sophomore class made a fine record in scholarship. Those making A on major subjects were Masie Reid Pat- tillo, Sara Rogers, Elinor Tyler, Mar- garet Poynor, Jane Salters, Lillian Clarke, Elsie Gregg and Elizabeth Hoffmeyer. The following won the same distinction during the second period: Virginia Brown, Lillian Clarke, Margaret Poynor, .Iane Salters, Elizabeth Hoffmeyer, Kenneth Law- rence, Drake Watson, Henry Dargan, Elinor Tyler, Sarah Rogers, and Kath- leen Lazar, Elizabeth Hoffmeyer and Lillian Clarke made A on major sub- jects the whole report period. The class had done well in athletics, also. The Sophomores on the varsity hockey team were Annie Schuyler, Mary McLeod, Jane Salters, Hazel Hewitt and Annie Dell Caston, Those making the basket ball team were Annie Dell Caston, Margaret Poynor, and Hazel Hewitt. In the inter-class basket ball, the Sophs sent the score soaring against the Freshies. John Bailey has played an excellent game on the boys' varsity basket ball team, and Asa Sturkey held right guard in football. Members of the Junior class serving on the council during the first semes- ter were David McLeod, Ford Mclver, ard Allie Strickland. The members of the House of Representatives are as follows: Willis Harris, Thad Moore, Edwin Zeigler and Sara Reinhardt. The appearance of Dr. Red Wing, chief of the Royal Chippewa Tribe, in a delightful lecture and interpretation of his race, was sponsored by the .lunior class. EDISON MARSHALL VISITS FLORENCE HIGH Students of the Florence high school have had the treat of a lifetime in hearing this year the famous traveller and writer, Edison Marshall. Mr. Marshall believes in going to headquartersn for his subject matter. Consequently, he spends much of his time abroad in the remote corners of the earth. This fact makes him a most interesting speaker. His ad- dress to the students proved to be two entertaining stories of the jungles. These were most instructive to the student body, as he presented them in such a way that even the least imag- inative person could gain a vivid pic- ture of a journey through the jungles. As a speaker, Mr. Marshall is most attractive, being informal in his man- ner and at all times at ease. His keen sense of humor and his dramatic method of story-telling make him an incomparable speaker. GLEE CLUBS ORGANIZE Prospects are bright for the glee clubs this year, with a large number reporting regularly to Miss Smith for rehearsals.

Smith, Lillian Rainwater, Mary Johnson, Mary Corbin, Edna Tedder, Fredye Furchgott, and Janis Stuart, second sopranos, Ethel Russell, Mary Heape, Carolyn Parker, Martha Dantz- ler, Elizabeth Anderson, Mae Mac Bridges, Juanita Mason and Juanita Epps: altos, Margaret Fortner, Sarah Lynch, Pauline Proctor, Eudora Lam- bert, Beatrice Furchgott, Vera Ford, Mildred McKcithan, Vivian Bass and Ruth Alexander.
