THE HONOR SOCIETY TIMELY ADVICE T0 WORRIED MOTHERS By Dr. MacGowan All mothers, no matter what race, color, or creed. are intimately annoyed with their children when they reach the late teen ages. Young men and women at this age seem to have more genius for get.ting into trouble than at any other period in their life. Young people should consider their parents when they do unreasonable things, but, for some undefinable reason, they do not. At this stage in life, the greatest worry of the mother is the carefree, independent. at.- titnde that high school phpils, mostly boys. adopt when they become smitten with the hidden charms of some delicate creature of the opposite sex. When a young man wan- ders through the house aimlessly with a far- away look in his eyes, beware! These are the first symptoms of an undying devotion for some silly, giggling, lipstick-smeared female who has turned loose on him all her charms. Now, mothers. do not get excited at these familiar signs. After your boy has had one date with the object of his incessant devo- tion, he will discover a great loathing for her, because she constantly chews gum. But let me warn you. the next time he comes down with similar symptoms, be on your guard! This one is likely to develop into a more serious matter. He may go out with the girl four or five times before he finds that she is a True Love Story fiend and is just dying to try a new technique practiced by Myrna La Bombshelle, on him. As a last bit of instruciton, let me warn you, while your loving son is undergoing all these reactions, pay no attention to him. Let him suffer with his great burden and he will recover, somewhat the wiser from his experience. He will know that all women spell danger. and will avoid them, t'or two months or so. V . . .- llarkl It's up to arms we go: Our country is at war! The boys and men sign up to fight And train to meet their foe. Some day t.here'll come a victory won: We'll shout it to the sky! 'l'hankt'ul to God and everyone. Wt-'ll keep on flying high! Lois Cumming 26

What's your name? he asked, taking out his pencil and notebook. Annie Kake. Why ? Does this belong to you?' he inquired, handing the red handkerchief to her. Yes, It did. So what? she replied. This was found at the scene of the mur- der. Now will you explain? Before the game. I took a nose bleed. I went into the basement for some cold water. Seeing that my handkerchief was bloody and knowing I couldn't use it any more, I threw it away. With that. Barnes left. saying he might return later. Now for that Gilland and Hatfield girl! Conferring with them, he learned noth- ing. Why should they harm Slug, when she would make possible their championship and a trip? That's reasonable, thought Barnes to himself. But who could have done it? Leaving the basement, Barnes went up- stairs. Hearing an argument in room seven, he stopped. Weren't those the voices of Mr. Marsh and Shirley Titcomb? If you ever tell that Slug and I quarrel- ed at my last cowboy chapel rehearsal, you'll be sorry, Mr. Marsh was saying. You know she slapped my face when I told her she had to be my lover in the play. I had to defend myself. . Yes, but why did you kill her? demand- ed Shirley. I don't know, I must have been out of my head. Promise me never to tell, he begged in agonizing tones. I guess you were more than a little bit out, bellowed Barnes, stepping into the room. Philip, you're under arrest! Mr. Marsh was taken to the county jail, where he was examined by Dr. Spooks. He was found to have a pressure on the brain which made him think he had to have his own way. Upon questioning the students of his classes, Barnes discovered the pupils dared never to have their homework undone. Mr. Marsh is now in Bangor, cutting paper dolls and trying to scratch his right elbow-with his right hand. THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD By Mary Ann Young Out on a hill in the stillness of night, Humble shepherds were awed to behold a great light. 'Twas the light of the world shining down in a star, And its rays came straight, and they reach- ed very far. 'Twas the light of the world, 'twas a guide in the night, 'Twas the light of the world, A light! A light! lt cleansed the sinner, it led him on, It gave him new life, and showed him dawn. 'Twas the light of the world, and its rays were bright. And its beams came straight, and they pierced the night. 'Twas the light of the world, 'twas the leader of right, 'Twas the light of the world, A light! A light! lt guided the traveler, it led him on straightg lt guided him home to the golden gate. 'Twas the light of the world, and this light gave birtl1 - To a newness of life all over the earth. 'Twas the light of the world, 'twas a sym- bal of right, 'Twas the light of the world, A light! A light! THE OLD MAN By Milo Hughes There was an old man from Fort Wright Who gambled by dawn's early light! He lost all he had, And his wife was so mad That she changed all his features that night. Tlli, CHISELER By Shirley Titcomb Poor Jimmy has learned the sad truth Concerning yon kissing booth- He paid just one fee, And tried to take threeg Now Jimmy is minus a tooth!
