be itleral Vol. X +11 4-VI-I Harrisburg, Pa., jan. 5, 1935 hliiizo Topics of the Day FIRST WoMaN President Selects Her Cabinet VVe all remember that two weeks apo the great- est political honor possible was conferred upon a woman of Pennsylvania in the appointment of Miss Helen McPhail as President of the United States. Many may still be wondering why the Vice-Presi- dent or some other member of the cabinet did not fill the vacated oflice, but this great social pheno- menon will be explained in the next edition of this paper. VVe believe, however, a greater phenomenon has now occurred by Miss McPhail's selection of an entire Keystone state cabinet. With the ex- ception of Mr. J. R. Miller as General Advisor, the cabinet is made up entirely of women. We feel that in the choice of the following cabinet, the president has ,exercised particularly good judgment: Miss Marie Ammon has been selected as Secretary of State, Miss Francis Tate as Secretary of Warg Miss Mila Schwartzbach as Attorney Generalg Miss Edythe Critchfield as Postmaster General, Nliss Florence Badorf as Secretary of Navy, Miss Ruth Barr as Secretary of Interiorg Miss Odessa Spahr as Secretary of Agricultureg Miss Nellie Smith as Secretary of Commerce, Miss Rebecca Grand as Secretary of Labor! and Miss Viola Mc- Kissick as Secretary of Air Service. New Uommittce for FRENCH REPARATIONS During eleven years of its existence, the Dawes Plan has failed to accomplish its purpose, and in the hope of finally settling the French reparation problem a new committee has been appointed. The five Americans on the committee are Miss Eleanor VVoltinger who has received the honor of general chairmanship, Miss Helen Davis, Miss Blanche Lutz, Miss Adelaide Zuse, and Miss Thelma Cooper. The committee will start immediately to investigate the internal conditions of France and determine her capacity to pay. -.-Ixsofiated Press. FIRST Commencement at JOHN HARRIS High School Five hundred students, the first to be graduated from john Harris High School received their di- plomas at the exercises held last evening in the high school auditorium. After two selections were played by the orchestra Miss Elenor Saul delivered the valedictory address, the subject of which was The Advantages of Chemistry in the Home. The class was greatly honored in having Miss Miriam Bell the noted psychologist, as the speaker for the occasion. The principal, Miss Betty Stein- heiser, then awarded the prizes offered by the vari- ous departments. At this time, Samuel Miller, jr., a freshman in the school, was awarded the In- creased Vocabulary prize, a prize which is sought after by students of every class. For four years the students have been under the instruction of a most capable faculty, and now they are ready to put into practical use the knowl- edge, they have gained. VVith Miss Miriam Ma- deira as head of the Economics Department, they have thoroughly learned the advantages of budget- ing, whether it be for one or two persons. Miss Alice VVert has done much to help them master the difiiculties of the English language. They should never find themselves unable to read a doctor's pre- scriptions or understand the anthropological terms which confront them, for Miss Maude Miller has been the instructress in Latin. More and more, students are realizing the necessity of knowledge of the French language, therefore, over half the graduating class have been instructed in French by Mlle. Grace Johnson. Miss Lisette Mower, as head of the History Department, has likewise thor- oughly instructed the students in the whys and wherefores of the past ages. Those who expect to enter the business world have been efficiently trained by Miss Ella VVachtman. This group of teachers have dealt with the graduating class, and it is their opinion that they have set a high standard for future classes. E131
