THE CARDINAL - 1932 29 OUI' P. T. A. Looking back over our P. T. A. meetings this year, we recall many inter- esting programs. We remember a fine talk by Dr. Van Vlack on Americanization. The good doctor is an ardent American Legion worker and a profound believer in pre- paredness and we were so glad to hear him state the other side of the argument when our minds are so filled with the thoughts of Peace and Disarmament. Our Christmas party under the able direction of Mrs. Corrie Wicks Bab- cock was a great success. Both parents and children enjoyed it immensely. Mrs. Ray Johnson and Mrs. Van Vlack directed the interesting discussion at our Question Box meeting. They convinced us that there was certainly more than one way to bring up our children. When we look at them with their varied and diverse personalities we are glad that parents nowadays try to fit the upbringing to the child rather than insist on every youngster doing the same thing in the same way and along the same groove. No doubt we parents may learn something when we get together next year in our Adult Study Group under the leadership of Mrs. Edward Bootey-we have great hopes. A very beautiful evening was spent with the pictures of George Wash- ington and his family posed for us by members of the D. A. R. with a most interesting talk by Roland K. Mason. We were sorry judge Ottaway was unable to speak to us at the March meeting as planned, but Mrs. Claude Tarbox, our District President, gave us an interesting talk about the inner workings of the P. T. A. Mr. Claude Dye of Fredonia spoke to us at our April meeting on That Teen Age Boy of Yours. He made us feel that he knew his subject and we hope that he can be with us again. We must not forget Mrs. Blair's beautiful music during the evening. It left nothing to be desired. Since the May meeting is really the last regular meeting of the year, it was very fitting to have at this time the privilege of hearing the Mission Choir and Orchestra directed by Miss Ebba Goranson. The speaker of the evening was our much beloved Dr. jane Greeley who spoke on Citizenship in the Home. The june meeting will be in the form of a Music Festival with Miss Flohr in chargeg many grade children and High School students will take part. We feel that we have learned and accomplished many things this past year and we are looking forward to doing great things in the future. MISS GLADYS WEISS Secretary P. T. A.

ef LITERARY ef Concerning the literary geniuses of L. H. S., a great deal could be said. Among the most prominent are Dorothy Terrill and Bertie Anderson and Win- nie Peake. Early in the fall there was a contest for the best essay on Wash- ington in conjunction with the Washington Bi-Centennial to be held. Many of the History C Class and English students competed. It was a nation wide contest conducted by the states and a few months after he competition the papers announced the winners of the state and Albertais name was one of the honorable mention. ' Also in conjunction with the Washington Bi-Centennial was a prize ora- tion contest-in which Dorothy competed-her essay was said to have been the best in matter of composition and research work involved. In fact, all dur- ing the year, her written work has been of highest Commendation. Every year at commencement, there is a prize given for the best essay written during English IV. This year, Miss Cooper says she found three es- says so deserving of the prize that it was next to impossible to finally decide on a winner. But there had to be one'-so we have printed in the following pages the best essay of the best. Congratulations to the winner! There was stiff competition, we assure you. C. A., '32 RUDYARD KIPLIN G There is a poem of Kipling's, The Two-Sided Man,', in which he very aptly describes himself. The first verse is quoted- Much I owe to the Lands that grew- More to the Lives that fed- But most to Allah who gave me two Separate sides to my head. This first appealed to me as a rather clever but nonsensical bit of verse. It was also original and new. I have since derived a new meaning-no doubt the one Kipling had in mind when he wrote it. Born and brought up as he was in India, he is essentially British. These are the two, English and Indian,
