The Spectator One of the most promising and effective organizations in school is the Spectator, which was founded early in '26 to publish news of the school's activities, to promote the Harding spirit, to criticize where criticism is needed, and to keep the alumni in close conf tact with the school. It is a sixfpage, tri' weekly publication containing separate sheets for sports, literary articles, and humor. In September of '27 Sidney Hoffman was elected editor, with john Hersey, Sigmund Miller, Jacob Rosenthal, Constance Burns, Celia Schopick, and Katherine Merillat asf sistants. The objectives of the year were bet' ter makefup, more photographs, better and more varied types of editorials, more student control, improvements in advertising cuts, and livelier cartoons. In January, 1928, James Ward, a football letterfman, assumed control. His push and vigor has done much to improve the paper. Supported heartily by so great a student body, the Spectator has many reforms for which to strive. Among these is the project of a weekly paper. Still more student control is desired, for students will work steadily for what they conceive their own. Greater varif ety and more comprehensiveness in news articles are qualities yet to be desired. Witli improvement in these features, Harding will have a newspaper which will be difficult to surpass.

Reilly The Home Room Leaders ' To forty-two home room leaders and to as many assistants-one of each from every home room in the huilding--goes much of the credit for preserving order and unity and for keeping up school spirit during the year. These leaders are chosen annually hy vote of the students of each session room, who elect pupils outstanding in personality and leader' ship and unafraid of work- ffor the position of room leader requires a great amount of alertness, control, and ahility to care for def tails. The duties of these students consist of the following: almost total responsibility on as' sembly days in the transportation of the room as a body, management of the sale of all tickets, the school paper, or the annualg the care of the cafeteria after lunch B. The lead' ers must he Hon the john always, with a mini- mum of ahsences, and must he ahle to overf come sales resistance. They must represent their rooms at all meetings of their group and he ready to devote time to the service of the school whenever necessary, They must hold the esteem of their roommates and he on good terms with all teachers. Thus the life of room leaders is tlittienlt and the duties exacting. lt is greatly to their credit that all ticket sales have heen successful and that there has lwcen almost faultlcss marching to assemblies.

MeMaugl1 The Musical Crganizations We can well be proud of our musical or' ganizations, directed by Mr. R. A. H. Clark. Besides their cultural value to the student body, they have helped to form school pride and increase what is so essential to a new school,-school spirit. From the beginning of the football season, thru the basketball and basball seasons, our band has urged the teams on to victory, and the orchestra has put en' thusiasm into our assemblies with its spirited marches. On December 16, 1927, the band made its formal debut, and all four musical organizaf tions appeared in the first big concert of the kind which we have held. That Friday even' ing in our auditorium marked the beginning of a series of concerts of which we can truthfully say, L'The more the better. The following program was given: March--Soldiers of Fortune .......... ............ P ryor Andantino ............................................ .............
