L 30 BLUE AND WHITE with them on the State University drive, it might be interesting for us to go with them and see how a group of country folks act when they come to a city to see the wonders collected in such ay place. Their first visit is to the University Archaeological Museum. Here they go into a room of antiques in general and look with awe-struck wonder on a vast array of an- cient weapons, armor, clothing and money. In two other rooms they are amazed by the enumerable collection of stone weapons and implements both of the ca-ve man and of the lndian. Here, too, they are able to see the skulls of their ancient ancestors, and, by other skulls, trace evolution to the man of the present day. ln the fourth room the first signs of civilization are seen in the shape or the ancient printing press, spin- ning wheel, plow, and numerous other rel- ics of our country's youth. From here we follow them in their hasty Hight to the geological museum. Ga-sps of wonder and sighs of disbelief break from their lips as they enter the door and gaze upon the huge fossil remains of the pre- lnstoric mastodon and its two accomplices. 'lhen the petrified shrubbery and rock in- tegration becomes the subject of their wonder. But the strain of such phenomena soon tells on the inexperienced students and a relazg is provided by the instructors in visit- inglthe stadium, being built at the present time. While here a whistle blew and, as all the workmen begin a wild race to av place of feasting, the little company of sight-seers begin to feel and inward emotion calling thtnh to follow, and dinner becomes the aim or a . After duly sustaining themselves the company lead us to the State Penitentiary, where, with the guards' sanction, we stay with the students and visit all departments of the institution. They are shown the as- sembly room and the electric chair, they hear those, sentenced to death, singing The Old-Time Religion, they are taken through the cells, school, wool preparing and weav- ing factory, cotton cleaning and preparing factory, number plate factory, and even hear the orchestra play and see the base- ball team. Many seem very favorably im- pressed with the place, while others are ready to leave with the instructors. From the penitentiary, they go to the State Hospital for the Infirm. The doctor of this institution leads the way to the dance hall where he spends some time in giving the statistics of the surrounding populace. Then we go with our friends through several wards, the dining-room, kitchen and the infirm building, everywhere shedding tears and joining in the horror that the young group possesses. Again in the open air, it is decided that time prevents further exploration and I am forced to say good-bye to my friends happy in their day's experience. PA RENT-TEACHERS' ASSOCIATION On Monday evening, April 17, the second regular meeting of the Parent-Teachers' Association was held in school building.

Just ask Miss Greene--every- thing from olives to maple sugar cakes.

On the 21st everyone was surprised to find the 1922 banner Hoating on top of the school house and even the janitor had a hard time getting it down. Cheer up, we can't expect to take the prize every year so we might as well give the others a chance.

BLUE AND WHITE 29 etta is due to the excellent work of Kathryn Silliman, accompanist, who by her Hne in- terpretation of the music helped everyone in their work. Although Kathryn did not get her full share of the glory on that night, the Glee Club thanks her for her interest and faithfulness. ' The presentation of the operetta, how- ever, would have been impossible had it not been for the supervision and management of Miss Courtright and the Girl's Glee Club want to take this opportunity to thank her for her efforts in making it a success. Girl's Glee Club: Kathrine Rohrer, Mary McLain, Alice Cook, Frances Rohrer, Marian Ebaugh, Mary Chesshir, Mayme Zetta Jackson, Ber- neda Lowery, Chessie Young, Hilda Jack- son, Hazel Gosnel, Ruby Gosnel, Eleanor Kurtz, Eleanor Curtis, Thelma Emrick, Faithe Brown, Buena McLain, Ann Price, Mary Latta, Emily Moody, Frances Davies, Cora Frances Shirk, Jenness Carpenter, Geraldine Ackley, Kathryn Silliman. On April 24, the motion picture Julius Caesar was shown at the Granville Opera House. The High School Latin classes, aided in the advertising by Dr. Tanner of Denison University, were responsible for having this movie brought from Athens to Granville. - These pictures traced the life of Caesar from the time when he was a young man of twenty, to his death in 44 B. C. The picture opens with a pretty love affair be- tween Cornelia and Caesar. Sulla, angered with Caesar's marriage to the daughter of his enemy, Cinna, sends Caesar as an exile from Rome. Caesar returns twenty years later as consul. It then traces his life in the war with the Gauls and the events which lead up to the defying of the senate when he led his army across the Rubicon. He reutrns triumphant to Rome after having robbed the temple to gain money for his troops. During this time he has been mar- ried to Calpurnia, the rich and infiuential woman of whom we see and hear so much. It ,was her induence that step by step brought to Caesar the position of dictator for life. It is at about this time that we hear of the disturbance in the senate, of their growing jealousy of Caesar's in- fluence, and their planning to kill him. On the Ides of March, 44 B. C., as we all know, Caesar was assassinated in the senate house. The play although taking all the vital steps in Caesar's life had a touch of Shakespear's play Julius Caesar. We all felt that it was a worthwhile proposition and did our best to advertise it properly. If more such pictures were brought to Granville our lessons would be much more easily understood. But that is all to come with the new high school, we hope. FATHER AND SON BANQUET The first annual Father and Son Banquet, for the purpose of bringing the fathers and sons of this community into closer fellow- ship, was held in the Presbyterian Church on Friday, March 24, under the supervision of the Granville Hi Y Club. At six o'clock great numbers of men and boys met at the appointed place to partake in the great event, and soon every one was enjoying a most delicious menu of chicken pie with all its props, while an orchestra of incomparable quality entranced their ears with sweet strains of melody. When every one had duly sustained his appetite, his attention was called to the head of the table where Toastmaster Ward Whitcomb, of Denison University, charm- ingly introduced the speakers of the even- ing. The first speaker was Dr. Kirtly F. Ma- ther, from the college, with the subject, Granville In this he told something of the history, beauty, and advantages of the village, and, above all, the pride we should take in the son city sprung from the father city in Massachusetts. The next speaker was Howard B. Jeffer- son of D. U., with Hardness as his topic. Jeff., of course, took the viewpoint of an athlete and gave us some ideas of build- ing the human structure as hard as nails. Dr. C. L. Williams then spoke on Inter- ests in Individuals. With his usual, irri- sistable wit, he soon placed the company under the straing of thunderous mirth. Then, as only Prof. Willie can, he brought out the message of his talk. At this point the floor was given to Pro- fessor A. D. St. Clair, who, after a short speech, presented the athletic letters, medals and cup won in the basketball tournament, to the members of the High School teams. Following this, W. G. Gartlich, State Sec- retary of Hi Y Clubs, spoke on 'HY' in School and Community, bringing out the necessity, purpose and results of the Hi Y Club. The toastmaster then announced ad- journment to the Baptist Church where the evening was perfected with an hour of wide-awake mixing games. CIVICS CLASS VISITS COLUMBUS On Friday morning, April 28, entirely too early, a group of cars equipped to carry twenty-five students and two instructors met in front of the school building for the purpose of carrying the aforesaid students on a sight-seeing tour of the city of Colum- bus. After following them on their un- exciting trip of thirty miles and parking

BLUE AND WHITE 31 Dorothy Blade spent the week-end of the 23rd at Frances Davies', on the Welsh Hills Road. Elizabeth Hale went to Columbus shop- ping, Wednesday, the 19th, with her sister and mother. Russel Pierson spent Thursday, the 20th, in Columbus. SENIORS IN ATHLETICS The Class of '22, has done her share to- ward placing G. H. S. on the map athletic- ally. Mitchell has been the football teamis sta-lwart for four years. Lacock holds three letters in this sport as a testimonial to what he has done. Megaw has two, and Dumm and Warner each have one. In basket ball Mitchell and Lacock have both been members of the team for two years. Before finishing we should say a word about the manager of our football and basketball team, Charley Pierson. Charley is a man who has stayed by the team bet- ter tha-n some of the players. He has been an efficient and able manager, and has never kicked at the amount of work he was called upon to do. Charley knows the school appreciates his efforts. Granvil e has organized a baseball team and is getting some practice. The infield ond outfield look good, and the only weak- ness lies in the hitting ability. This, how- ever, may improve. Two practice games have been played with the Academy. One was a 7 to 3 win for them and the other resulted in a 3 to 3 tie which goes to show that Granville has a fair team. So far no games have been scheduled. LIFE The moon was full, the clouds were light, A breeze did gently blow: It fa-nned the cheek of a youth who cried, O Mary, I love you so! The clouds passed on, the moon shone bright, The breeze more softly blew: It touched the hair of a maid who sighed, Pm happier than I knew! The years sped on, life's tide ran high, With sorrows sometimes rife: Which wrinkled the brow of a man who said, O Mary, my precious wife! A The moon is at its full once more, And stars are in the sky, Two -feeble forms are bent in prayer,- Our love can never die!
