- THE SESAME 15 SENIOR Bls CHRISTMAS PARTY Class history was made the night of De- cember twenty-first, at Pelton's residence, the bright light of the wilds of Beechviewg for it was there that the Senior B's of South Hills High School gathered for their annual Christmas Party. An entrance committee both welcomed members of the best class in the school and ostracisedundesirables. It may be said that they were very efficient, for there was not a one present who wasn't wanted and who didn't want to be there. Hon. Daniel Campbell, a competent judge was there and it became neeessagy for him to pass jurisdiction on a noteworthy case. With Mr. Able as district attorney, and Mr. Jones as lawyer for thedefendant, Mr. Craw- shaw, ofiicer of the court appeared with the arrested person, Miss M. Langer, and charged her with larceny. The lawyers made their pleas and the judge decided that she was guilty of stealing a loaf of bread, and sentenced her to six months in the reform- atory, whereupon she so effectively implored the judge to be more lenient that he, with a very black face, was forced to retire and free the offender. Mr. Kraber made eloquent presentation speeches, giving a gavel ,to our most distin- guished class president, Mr. Worcester, and making the class baby, Jackson Crawshaw, the proud possessor of a pretty bib. Bits of humor were exchanged, and Miss Grace Pelton, our hostess, gave a remarkable presentation of Frisco Kid, which was en- cored again and again. Before and after the different numbers of the program there was considerable dancing and singing, also the mistletoe was somewhat in evidence. The social committee then served a de- lightful repast. At that point Mr. Kuhns, a bright light that shone late, appeared, and with his gifted personality and many ac- complishments entertained for nearly an hour. A real ofiicer of the law interrupted the dancing by telling us that the lights of the many automobiles outside were unlit, but no one cared for his implied warning, as it was time to go home. After voting that this was the best class party ever planned 'by a social committee and carried out by any class, the guests bade their charming hostess good-night.

W... , JUNIOR B THEATRE PARTY The Junior B's had their first social event in the form of a theatre party, November 21, 1921, at the Davis Theatre. The management must have been informed before hand that a class of South Hills High School studens were to be present, for the program was especially interesting, and judging by various comments every one seemed to have spent a delightful evening. There was a fine turn-out, taking into con- sideration that this is just a newly organized class. About thirty-five students were present with Miss Griflith, our guardian, and Miss White as chaperons. Let us keep up the good spirit whenever we have any social events, so that our com- mittees will be justified in arranging other affairs for us. M. K.

14 THE SESAME DEBATE CLUB In the recent debate in which Peabody, Fifth Avenue and South Hills participated, a double triumph was scored by the South Hills High School debate teanr in the first lap of the race for the trophy offered by Ohio Wesleyan University, to the school re- ceiving the greatest number of votes in the December and March debates. On the evening of December 8, 1921, the following question was debatedg Resolved: That the United States government should cancel all loans made to foreign governments because of the World War. The affirmitive team composed of Miss Koenig, Mr. Camp- bell, and Mr. Eulenstein debated the negative team from Peabody in our gymnasium. South Hills won, receiving two votes out of a possible three. The negative team of South Hills composed of Miss Hudepole, Miss Greyburn and Mr. Cooper, was successful de- feating the Fifth Avenue team at Fifth Ave- nue by a unanimous decision. The standing of the teams are as follows, South Hills, 55 Peabody, 45 Fifth Avenue, 0. A valuable member of the team, Miss Koenig, is lost by the February graduation. With this exception prospects for the future success of the club are bright. There is some possibility that the team if successful in March may receive the opportunity to debate a high school of some other city. Mr. Winner has approved the idea and the de- baters feel that they have something well worth while for which to work. Mr. Brogan and Mr. Storer, the coaches for our club, are deserving of the greatest praise for the work which they have accom- plished thus far. D. C. 22 . YW. ..g.g.g.7,.....- SCHOOL ENROLLMENT This semester our enrollment has been about 1,000. On February 2, 63 students will be graduated and at the beginning of the new semester there will be about 250 9-B students admitted, giving us a prospective enrollment of 1,300 In view of the fact that our building is supposed to accommodate 700, this enroll- ment tells plainly how much we need the completion of the original plan of South Hills High School. DR. ALEXANDER SPEAKS On November 21, we were delighted to have Dr. Maitland Alexander address us. Dr. Alexander spoke on the real meaning and significance of Thanksgiving day. He said that to most people, Thanksgiving day' is a holiday to be spent eating turkey, attending a football game, and possibly a theater in the evening. Continuing he said that Thanks- giving day is a holiday but it has a greater significance. It should be a day of universal home-gathering, but it also is the one day set apart by our country for thanksgiving and national recognition of God. Dr. Alexander further outlined those qualifications which enable one to contribute something worth while to the national life. Marshall Foch's aide in conversation with Dr. Alexander men- tioned as some of the Marshal's character- istics, his simplicity of manner, his modesty, his religion, and his ideals. Marshall Foch is the great leader that he is because he pos- sesses these qualities of leadership. America needs this kind of a leader. As to modesty, we should keep normal as to what we really are. A great leader is never heard to say: 'Tm the most marvelous man on earth. Marshal Foch's modesty was evidenced in the following incident after the battle of the Marne. A younger officer rushed into head- quarters saying, Congratulations, my Gen- e1'al, you have won the battle. The Marshal ordered him back to his post saying, If any congratulations are due, they belong to the soldiers. Another characteristic of the great General is his simplicity and directness of speech, action, and thought. Many of us spend much time paving the way when it is a well beaten path. Some people think that it is sentimental to have ideals. Every- one should have an ideal-something toward which he may strive and up to which we may look for encouragement. Ma1'shal Foch is a great Patriot, in time of war and in time of peace- not the frothy, firey kind so com- mon during the war but the sure, steady kind, always true to his ideals. He also is a religious man. One day after a great vic- tory he was observed looking over the land- scape through his binocularsj Later it was learned that he was looking for a church in which he might worship God. Soon locating one he drove away in his car to a little ruined chapel and spent the next hour in prayer. Judging by the three mighty, Yea Alex- anders that rent the air, Dr. Alexander's address was very greatly enjoyed and appre- ciated.
