Page 4 MADISON MIRROR.. Friday, June 8, 1934 Art Club Meets Thursday Last In Auditorium The Middle High School Art Club had a meeting last Thursday in And period to determine the color most proper for the walls of room .100. A lengthy debate was held and no decision was reached until the next afternoon, when it was decided to pass a resolution to approve sea-green walls with terra-cotta wood-work trimmed with fine lines of pink, orange, purple and orchid. The floor it was agreed, should be painted a light pink alternating with mustard yellow. Other colors suggested by members of the club were pink walls with blue woodwork and an orange floor. Black walls with a purple floor and peacock-blue door-stops. Red walls, a yellow-floor, and a pale orange baseboard, etc., etc, etc. Membership in the club, which costs five cents per year to pay for the January picnic, at present consists of three. They are, F.ne Joggen, We DUt Hatkins. Wcary-itt Hight, President. Vice-President, and Secretary-treasurer respectively. During this year the Art Club has done many things to awaken the school to the value of Art. For instance, they send pretty picture post-cards to all the little sick children, they help design beatuiful stage effects, and they take charge of all interior decorating done in the school. Petition Submitted to Dictator Laehler Following the refusal of the faculty committee to consider the plea of 500 leading students to hold regular classes only on Saturdays and Sundays and to cancel the present five day school week, the students interested in the move have submitted their petition to Weonard I-achler, dictator of all school affairs under the present regime. His decision on the measure will be read to the students on Monday next. Mr. Ladder's action on this question may be of the greatest political import. It is feared that any dissension in the Purple Shirt party at this time would result in his overthrow by Hant Graas, defeated candidate for the dictatorship. JUNIOR HIGH NEWS THE CRUELTY OF DEATH They say that death is always cruel Like coal consumes, it burns the fuel. I know that many shrink at death But one that did not, was Macbeth. A man of world-known fame was he, And king of Scotland he hoped to be. A second Dillinger we can him call But, lo, here conies Macduff to cause his fall. After many murderous deeds Macbeth now lies beneath the weeds. 72 Students Pass Through Central Sr. To the solemn strains of Beethovens Sixth Symphony played by The Junior High School Band seventy-two members of Central Junior High School passed into Central Senior High School at ten forty-five this morning. They were lead in the grand march by Miss Smida Vith and a group of flower girls from the seventh grade who strewed poison ivy, rotten tomatoes, and lemons in the path of the students to be honored. The parade was received at the head of the stairs by Weonard Laehler, dictator for the present (a silver mounted horseshoe with fur trimming). Said Mr. Laehler— This is indeed a pleasure. It jjives me great pleasure to receive such smiling faces into the ranks of the Purple Shirts. As to what else you will do here besides voting for me, it seems to me that that's your problem. After this jolly greeting from our dictator, the new students were marched to their new cells, where they were each given a patent cversharp and two lolly-pops as prizes for being so good. For supper they will be given as a special treat of sugar on their oatmeal as a celebration of the joyous occasion of their promotion. Outstanding among those who passed are Oscar Drmfrzl, Jennie Jilch, Joannah B. Preebles, and Charles Henry John Bertram Robert Edmonton Tishbein Smith. Mrs. Eata Hordahl Speaks Jo School Mrs. Eata Hordahl and Mrs. Buhu Keinz spoke at two auditorium programs held last week in the auditorium. Mrs. Hordahl spoke on her African adventures in Africa. She described the most bcatifu! boa constrictor she had ever seen, and dwelt for fifteen minutes on the physiology of boa constrictor physique. She also described the rest of her African party and diamonds in the rough. Mrs. Keinz, local W.C.T.U. officer, told of the evils of strong drink, and of its awful, degrading effect on the younger generation. To conclude her most interesting speech, she quoted this motto to remind the younger generation constantly of the horrible temptations that continually assail them— The man takes a drink, the drink takes a drink, and the drink takes you.” Now Then Laundry bags were made at the beginning of the semester sewing classes under Miss Ror-etta Hcilly, and the girls arc now working on pillow slips, handkerchief bags, and bedroom Members of Miss Bcdelia Bal-laghcr's home room, 101B have made out a set of rules for the courtesy campaign in their home room.

She determined to stick to her “guns and show that Marion a few things. “Love-fifteen.” “Love-thirty. Thirty-all. Forty-thirty.” Deuce. ’Ad out. Game—Second game of second set won —30— by Miss Van Tyne! The strings lasted quite well until the last game of the second set when a third one succumbed to the sudden impact of an unusually swift ball. But. in spite of the disadvantage, perscrverance won, and the second set fell to Josephine. “Third and last set—Deciding set for championship. During the first game, they settled down to steady, even rhythm. Josephine's tutoring proved its worth and brought her the game. In the second, the fourth string relinquished its tenasious hold, and Josephine's moral strength began to ebb. That game and the following one fell to Marion. Slowly Josephine’s luck oozed away. In the fourth and fifth games, she rallied and emerged victorious. Marion easily took the sixth. So far they were tied with three games apiece in the match-set. The nervous strain began to tell on Josephine. She used the last iota of perscrverance she possessed in the seventh and squeezed out a victory. Despite that, she unconsciously weakened and the eighth went to Marion. Now came the deciding game. If Josephine won. they would be tied, and one would have to win two consecutive games to obtain the championship. If Marion was victorious, the championship would be hers. Carefully they began play. Lost-fifteen.” “Fifteen-all.” Thirty-fifteen.” “Thirty-all. “Forty-thirty. Deuce.” “'Ad' out. “Deuce. “'Ad' in. NOw came the deciding point, Josephine set her teeth, gripped her racquet firmly, and waited. Marion smiled and gracefully executed a perfect serve. Josephine skillfully returned it. Play for play they battled. Breathlessly the onlookers awaited the outcome. Evercy eye went back and forth with that ball. Mouths gaped. Back and forth, from side to side they volleyed. Finally Josephine miscalculated a difficult backhand stroke and struck the hall with the wooden base of the racquet-head. The ball responded, but lifelessly, and fell short of the net. Point-sct-match! Marion Gayton wins the championship for the summer! “Oh, I'm so sorry that one of us l»d to win. Josephine; you played so well that you deserved the victory, cried Marion. Oh never mind. Isn't this your racquet?” asked Josephine sullenly. Why, yes, I believe it is, exclaimed Marion. Without another word Josephine traded racquets with Marion and left.
