Tjocational Hubs HE Vocational Guidance system at Hard' ing has developed to a considerable degree this year, under the sponsorship of Mr. John McFarland, through whose cooperation and help, the organization will be one of the most successful student activities at Harding. The group has been so organized, as to enable all lower classmen to hold private interviews with the advisor, to discuss all matters pertinent to the choice of a vocation. In addition to the interviews, there are classes in occupations conducted daily throughout the year for all class 1 boys. Here the occupations are chosen and studied by the various groups and reports and discussions are made at each meeting. The counselor and thc chairman have cooperated in arranging a reading section in the library for the occupation classes. i 63 Guidance cards for all students contain the pupils' personal and scholastic records through- out their high school careers. Both the home- room teacher and the vocational advisor assist in the compilation of these records. Thus homefroom teachers are responsible for all knowledge about the students in their rooms. Medical, legal and engineering clubs have been organized and reports and interesting visits and contacts arranged for these groups by the advisor. Mock trials have been held by the legal club, which has proved to be the most active of all the groups. The counselor visits the various SA Grades of the East Side to acquaint the future Harding students with the high school and he receives groups from these grades for visits to the high school.

'Ufome oom Leaders HE Home Room Leaders' association is the student organization having the greatest responsibility in the school, being the repref sentative body for the several rooms and the connecting link between the rooms and the oflice. The members should be leaders in every sense of the word, and are recognized as such by their classmates and teachers. They are regularly elected by the pupils and their ref spective teachers depend greatly upon them for routine work connected with room organif zation, Their many duties, though arduous, have always been faithfully and successfully performed. Their chief task is to lead their rooms to the assemblies and report offensive conduct, a step seldom necessary at Harding. They are a most valuable aid in the sale of tickets for various alfairsg they attend meetings and bring messages to the pupils from the officialsg they see that the news of the bulletins is given to the student. During the whole year there has been very little cause for criticism in their work. It is an honor to be one of Harding's Home Room Leaders. Nil

W0 years ago the Hardiensis Societas Latina was organized on the plan of a Roman government. lt has an enrollment of seventyfnine members, having maintained its policy of restricting membership to those pu' pils attaining a grade of 85 or above in Latin. It is one of the most active and interesting organizations at Warren Harding. The club, under Miss Watson, Miss Smith, and Miss Hines, is divided into four groups:-- Freshmen, Sophomores, Juniors, or Equites, and Seniors, or Senatores. Each of these groups has presented programs. The Masque of Pandora was given in the auditorium by the pupils in Latin 7 and 8. Classes 5 and 6 gave a lantern lecture on Rome, showing the lives and customs of the 64 Romans, ancient and modern. Pictures collected by the pupils and faculty were shown. The Sophomores offered as a program, How a Roman Boy Spent His Day, and a group of Latin songs. The Freshmen entertainment dealt with Roman children and their school life. The Latin Club entertained the French and German Clubs at a party, where dancing, specialty numbers, and refreshments amused the guests for the afternoon. The ofhcers of the Societas are these: Con- suls: George Popp, Aaron Schefkindg Praef tors: Milton Belinkie, Macey Halpnie, William McGovern, Ruth Alleng Censors: John Her' sey, john Verellig Aidiles: Frank D'Louhy, Mary Halpin, Frances Antell, Stuart Pitt.
