Both upper and lower halls were used and were decorated with large thrilling post- ers obtained from the movie house by some of the boys. These we all thought made the halls look more like real wild western places. As the wild and wooly westeners arrived they were escorted to the back of the school building where they gained entrance through the Lab. window by means of a ladder. The lower hall was fixed up into what was supposed to be a was a boxing carabet. The upper hall ring. Boxing was the main feature of the excepting Mr. evening. Everybody boxed St. Clair. The only reason he didn't fight was because he was afraid he might hurt the basketball his opponent. Games with were played as well as Hot Potato, Re- lays, etc. After the entertainment part of the evening a fine ,lot of refreshments was served in the carbaret. It was a most enjoyable evening and was thought to be one of the best parties ever held in the High School Building. Out of a class of about thirty-five, twenty-three pupils received above ninety in a recent English test. Sophomores! you have lots to be proud of in your class lately with the good work done by your mem- bers in the spelling preliminaries, Oratorical Home Contest. etc., but now when you see a Junior coming pull vour head down from the clouds and say, Here comes one of my kind! I'll speak to him! Ahem! The Junior French Class has very re- cently bought two Victrola records, songs and stories in French. Along with records brought in by members of the class it is possible for concerts to be given quite often. The class has learned a good many folk songs and other little songs that they sing once in awhile. This makes the inter- est of this class double to what it might be if the class is hoping to gradually get more records of all kinds for their study. Frances Rohrer: There isn't a single man I ca-re for. Clare L: That's great, I'n1 married. On Friday, April 21st, the Juniors en- gaged in a baseball game against the Sopho- mores. The game started with the Juniors in the field. The Sophomores gained one run and the Juniors two in the first inning. During the second inning the runs were all made by the Juniors, being three in number, making the score 4-1. The Sophomores made only two more runs in the fourth. Then the fifth the Juniors made two more runs. The Sophomores who were the last to bat made no runs. The game thus ended with the score 6-3 in favor of the Juniors. The batting and pitching of Britt and the brilliant fielding of Owens and Crooks were features of the game. Mademoiselle Odette Clarence of Denison University spoke to the Junior French class, Friday, the twenty-eighth of April. She told, in French, of the customs and dress in different sections of France, and showed many interesting pictures. We were all interested and will be glad to welcome her again. Frances Rohrer and Alice Cook spent a very pleasant supper hour with Florence Bailey and Edna Gosnell at their room on East Broadway on April 25. Hurrah! An additional honor has been heaped upon the Juniors. At the meeting of the Y. W. C. A. on April 20, another Junior, Marion Ebaugh, was elected president for next year. She will succeed Adaline Sipe, also a Junior. A GOOD REASON Doris: I wonder if we get our test papers back today? Bill: I don't think so. Doris: Why? Bill: Miss Shigley smiled at me when I met her in the hall. It's cold. You ought to put something on vour chest. Well, I've powdered it three times. Ruel: Have you ever read, 'To a Bumble Bee ?' Dorothy B: No how do you get 'em to listen?

WHY THE DAISY HIDES ITS GOLD AT NIGHT CA Myth.j Once many years ago there was a tribe of Indians, who had a field of daisies. The tribe was very proud of the daisies, because they were the onlyptribe for miles around that had any. They called their daisies Indian's gold. One night a warrior went out to see the new moon that hung low in the western sky. As he was standing by a tree he saw a figure sneaking toward the field of daisies. The warrior soon discovered that the form was an enemy warrior and his purpose was to steal the gold from the daisies. The enemy warrior was frightened by a loud whoop. That night the Great Spirit came and told the daisies to hide their golden centers. So ever since that time the daisy closes its petals at night. -GLADYS CURTIS, '24,
