CUM LAUDE SOCIETY OFFICERS Prefident . . . RAYMOND D. KENNEDY Secretary . . . . JAMES B. ScHocK In the fall of 1905, Mr. Abram Harris, a graduate of Wesleyan University, con- ceived the idea that secondary schools should have an honorary society the aim of which should be the encouragement of high ideals of work. The next spring he discussed the plan with several masters of the Tome school, and his idea met with approval. Soon afterward, that school formed such a society, and in a short time several others adopted the idea. The name of the organization was the Cum Laude Society. The Harrisburg Academy secured a chapter in 1921. Acertain percentage of the senior class and an even smaller percentage of the junior class are elected to the society each year. The scholastic standing of the students governs the elections. The boys who are made members of the Cum Laude Society are presented with a gold key and a certificate.

CLASS PROPHECY Battle of the century! William Bromley, Broad Street gossip columnist, was attacked in the Ritz Club by Robert Little Caesar Henry of the Musicians Union. Bromley in his column in the Snooz revealed that while ten thousand musicians are starving, Henry, who draws a salary of twenty-five hundred dollars a year, is giving nightly champagne and caviar orgies in his palatial Fifth Avenue Mansion. FF if ik PF In Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, copper name- plates in Bahrenburg's Milk Bar mark the spot where customers Lee Otto and Bob Brenner have drunk seven thousand gallons of root beer. all :lf lk ik John Turns was regretfully turned down yesterday when he asked to have his birth date changed from 1921 to 1935. Turns explained that he is just getting out of college in time for the christening of his third grandchild. BF H4 Sk wk The scientist, Robert Sheaffer, was observing the heavens through a huge telescope on Peter's Mountain. Suddenly he announced, It's going to rain. Several scientists clamored about him saying, What makes you think so? Because, said Sheaffer, My corns hurt. John Warner, who invented the new electronic vibrator radio, is resting quietly, and his lawyers, Coale and Van Alst, have informed us that they will fight to the end the absurd claim brought against Warner by Fred Spotts, who claims that he invented it first. Spotts, you will remember, had the same trouble with his last three inventions. Plfvkvkbk Word has just come from Switzerland that a hermit has just come down from the summit of Mt. Neverest, where he has lived for twenty years. Robert Wagner, the hermit, gave his reasons for his forsaking humanity as a desire to repent for his greatest vice, causing parking meters to operate without nickels. Hkvkikbk John McGinnes has been secretly married to Miss Dixie Cupp of a famous Harrisburg family. They are honey-mooning in Wormleysburg, where they are staying at the Melvin-Leon Plaza Hotel. The manager, Mr. Glass, is a school friend of McGinnes. PAGE 33
