MEMOIRS CASHIERS CASH I ERS The cashiers of Grant High School through their utmost endeavors have at the end of this term attained a systematic efficiency of banking not below that of any other school in the city of Portland. With the aid of Mr. Horn' ing, the banking system at Grant has made excellent progress and has proved to be a success both in the amount of money saved, and in the number of depositors. Within one semester, the pupils of Grant High School have been presented with an excellent way to save their money without undue incon- venience. Since the new system was originated, the number of depositors at Grant has nearly doubled and others who already had bank accounts have much more money in the bank than ever before. The late james rl. Hill once said, Are you able to save money? lf not, drop out. You will fail. You may think not, but will fail as sure as fate. The seed of success is not in you. DONALD LAUGHLIN.

MEMOIRS GIRLS' GLEE CLUB GIRLS' GLEE CLUB The Girls' Glee Club is constantly growing in size and improving in technique, but still it needs more girls. At the Better Homes meeting, both the girls and boys sang several selections. Tuesday, December 22, the Glee Club brightened the Mann Home with some Christmas carols, and on Decem' ber 29, it sang at the Portland Hotel, for the Oregon State Teachers' Convenf tion. Now, with real earnest, it is entering into the joys of Princess Ju Ju, the Japanese operetta to be presented in the spring. There are no songs quite so beautiful, so haunting, as those melodies of the Land of the Rising Sun, no person so interesting as L'HokiefRokieftippieftippieftopftop. If you want the real delights of music, if you want to enter its magic realm, with Mr. Evans as your guide, join us, and vve'll welcome you gladly. JOSEPHINE OLSSON. Pageffwentyfeiglit U. S. Gfrmf
