Q8 MANET PARENTS' NIGHT On November 9, Parents' Night was held. The teachers remained in their rooms between 7.30 and 8.00 P. M. to receive the parents and discuss the work of the pupils. At eight P. M. the parents went to the auditorium, where a program was given by the pupils. Mr. James N. Muir, superintendent of schools gave a brief talk, stating that it would be necessary to have the second wing built on to the school because if over-crowded conditions. He asked their .upport in obtaining the necessary legislation for this purpose. JAMES GUILMARTIN. DANCES Under the auspices of the Athletic Associa- tion, two dances were given in the school gymnasium. These dances. in October and December were very successful. The hosts and Mostesses at the last dance were Mr. and Mrs. Muir, Mr. and Mrs. Jack, M1'. and Mrs. Alex- ander. Mr. and Mrs. Collins, Miss Currier and Miss Dennison. 4 DR. 'TIZYIII HSIIIII DR. TEYHI HSIEH On Xovember third. we heard a very en- lightening and amusing talk, given by the dis- finguished Chinese scholar and statesman, Dr. Feyhi Hsieh. Dr. Hsieh explained the HNew Qhinese Movement, telling of the great in- tellectual improvement made by the Chinese people in the past few years. He also empha- --ized the great need of doctors, dentists, and gurses in China, stating that there is only one physician to each four hundred thousand people, and one school-teacher to each one hun- -lred thousand children. Dr. Hsieh is a most cultured gentleman. He has travelled in forty- two countries and speaks many languages. On several occasions he has performed diplomatic missions for his country. Dr. Hsieh speaks English fluently, even using slang with good effect. At times his power of oratory held his audience spellbound and then he would have them roaring with laughter with his puns and witticisms. At the e11d of his speech, D1'. Hsieh made a strong appeal for international peace and friendship between the United States and China. JAMES GUILMARTIN. COLLEGE MEETING On Thursday afternoon, December 8, the members of the College Preparatory Group met with their parents in the auditorium to receive information concerning college standards and requirements.

Mr. Muir, superintendent of schools, was present, and gave a brief talk, praising the work of the faculty of the school. The meeting was a profitable o11e, to teach- ers, parents. and students.

3,9 MA NET SCHOOL LETTER AWARDS A custom has come dow11 to us of awarding school letters as a token of especial endeavor in upholding the honor of a school upon the athletic field. This token has been distinctly connected with athletic achievements. NVe feel that the service rendered by students in pursuits other than athletics is worthy of recognition in this way, and therefore, to en- conrage all around development and proper citizenship, we urge the adoption of a letter award system based upon general participa- tion in a number of worth while school activities. We know the urge which captures the heart of a boy when an upper classman strolls by with the school letter on his sweater. Immedi- ately the question arises, How can ll get one of those letters? The letter becomes a goal. The path to attainment should be a happy, but Then as a reward for t'Good and faithful service, along with commendations of well done, we recognize the efforts and crown the attainment by presenting the school letters. We anticipate that it will not be solely, For the sake of a ribboned coat or the selfish hope of a season 's fame, but that the boy will learn how to respond in later life as he did when, t'His captain 's hand on his shoulder smoteg 'Play up! Play up! And play the game'l WELFARE WORK This year the student body helped materially in providing Christmas cheer to the needy and unfortunate people of Quincy. Each home- room volunteered to take charge of one family and see that the family had a happy Christmas. Each home-room was divided into committees on food, clothing, toys, and Christmas trees. The pupils brought food, clothing, and toys from home and contributed towards a Christmas not an easy one. lt matters not if he fails to see that, Tis' better to travel hopefully than to arrive. Yet development naturally comes, unconscious ot it though he may be. tree. Seventy families were taken care of, and the pupils gained much pleasure from helping in this work. JAMES CIVILMARTIN.
