Last year our county represen- tative, Miss Geneva Thorne, was awarded second place. As we go to press, the county contest has not as yet been held but all the entrants are working' hard on their respective pieces and we can look for results. Most of the dramatic students this year are Freshmen which would seem to indicate that we will not be lacking for material next year. ORATORICAL - CONSTITUTIONAL Only one of the former Oratorical entrants is left this year and only two others have indicated desire to enter the contests. However, they are working on their orations with the determination that they will substitute quality for quantity. The County Oratorical and Constitution- al Contests have not yet been held but we can expect the student or students who represent Gaston High High to do their best for G. H. S. arm s

all I Y . . , . Q , 'I , has Je CHORUS The High School Chorus has had an unusually successful year and Miss Frazee is to be commended on the excellent training she has given the members of the chorus. The chorus has sung for several local affairs and each time has been well received. At Christmas, a large group of the chorus members caroled through the town and not a missle was flung! Songs and choruses 'such as Beautiful Blue Danube, The Har- vest Moon, and The Dance of the Fairies are sung by the chorus. FRENCH CLUB A French Club was organized this year for the first time in connection with the regular French classes. At the first meeting it was determined to meet on the last Thursday of every month, but various things came up to prevent the meetings and as a result several meetings were missed. The Hallowe'en party given by the French Club was one of the most suc- cessful social activities of the year. It is hoped that next year the Club can arrange to hold all of it's scheduled meetings. ail llllvs

Sir Hector arrives in a most unconventional fashion- inside the mummy case in which he has had himself expressed, so as to escape being quarantined in New York for a well- developed case of mumps. His identity is discovered and kept secret by the cleverest gtirl pupil in the school, partly to save him from arrest for breaking quarantine and partly because there is another Sir Hector in the field, impersonating - ' him. The complications. multiply, and one farcical situation crowds closely upon another, each more uproariously funny than its prede- cessor. The hilarity is also pro- moted hy the inimitable man-of- all-work, who has three men's work to do but doesn't do itg by Bris-ky, the giddy youth who im- Hector, and by his pal, Billy by the of the school, by a girl reporter, and perscnates Sir equally giddy prize dumdora terribly nosey by a hick sheriff.
