THE HERMIAD lf he then decides to work, If he says, I'll begin right now, Anil if he newer again will shirk, He'll surely have good luck--and howl Therefore, wise men decide 'tis best. Not to indu'ge in too much jest. T!-IE SOPHOMORE AUCTION fHelen Jarosz-19325 I dreamed a dream in the midst of my slumbers, And as fast as I dreamed it, it came in sad numbers. My thoughts ran along in such beautiful meter, I am sure I've not heard any poetry sweeter. It seemed that a law had recently been made, That a tax on poor Sophomores' heads should be laid And in order to make them all seekers of knowledge, The tax was so great that they'll soon be in college. The Sophomofes grumbled and said 'twas no use, That 'twas wicked injustice and horrid abuse. They declared that to save their heart's blood from On such a great tax they would not pay a shilling. liut the rulers determined them still to pursue, And set all the Sophomores up at vendue. A crier was sent through the school to and fro, To ratt'e his bells and his trumpet to blow: And to call to all he might meet on his way: I-Io! Fifty young 'Sophs' to be sold here today. And then all the Seniors and Juniors bold Came to carry away all the treasure foretold. The auctioneer then on his labors began, And called out aloud as he held up a man: spilling

And then titty odd students, both younger and older, Lugged home a young Soph high up on his shoulder. CLUBS-A POSSIBILITY FGR P. H. S. CGeorge Agayoff-l930l HAT school is there that has a student body which will not participate in the various actixities of the school? There is none, and there never will be, as long as the opportunities are offered. In the best and most up-to-date high schools in the country, there is a sys- tem of extra-curricular activities, which tend to give character to the school. add to its attractions, kindle the interest of the pupils, supply them with a practical education and experience, and also help the school in its finances. These activities, exclusive of various sports, are the different school organiza- tions or clubs. Almot every department in a high school could organize a club for the purpose of stiniu'ating interest in its subject and of making it possible for the students to apply the art studied. The English department, perhaps, has a chance to do most in this field. It could form a Dramatic Club the members of which could study drama and present plays throughout the whole year for entertainment. In this way, desired practice would be obtained, and a certain ami-un: of money collected. A Forum might also be formed from a group in- terested in oratory and debating. From the large number of students who usual- ly apply for membership in such a popular organization, a Debating Team could be organized and debates scheduled with other schools. Another possibility is a Journalism Class, formed by those who wish to excel later on in literary tields and newspaper writing. A school newspaper, issued weekly might well be the work of this class. The Commercial Department might possibly get a Commercial Club into operation, have the usual dues paid, interest aroused, entertainments scheduled. and money made for the club and school. The Orchestra and Gee Clubs, which usually go hand in hand. are pojvuhtr in any school. The possibility and practicability oi all these clubs in Plainfield High School is cvident, and one can easily see where, through them, many problems i-t the schoo', and especialTy in the sports, can be overcome with but little effort. Sue' cess in this new plan of clubs is assured by the way the Biology Club has pros- pere l. Because of the interest shown and the enthusiasm with which its works has been carried out, the club has been able to issue the Outdoor XYorld,'
