NOVEMBER, NINETEEN TWENTY-FIVE IN THE LOCKER ROOM. When a visitor steps into one of the locker rooms, what would be his first impression of our school, if papers, books, rubbers, galoshes, etc., were scattered every which way and lock- er doors wide open? He would think the students were ver careless and Y ,did not care what their school look- ed like. If you went into a school and found one room all littered up with papers and such things, you'd nat- urally think all the rest of the rooms would be in the same condition. Every one should undertake to keep his locker cleaned out. One should not mark, them up with pen- cils or anything like that because the lockers are the property of the school and next year someone else will have the same locker. Who wants a lock- er all marred up and looking like it needed a new coat of paint? You know you don't. Of course, there are always excep- tions. There are a good many people 3 in this school who do not treat their lockers in this manner, but still there are a few who persist in being care- less. Does this mean you? L. E. IS YOUR NAME IN?

OUR BOW. llIIllIIIllllllIlllllllllllllululll llnllllr p The Tolo Quarterly sincerely wish- es to express its appreciation to all contributors to our first issue. We have endeavored to place' before the school, and its followers, such mater- ial as would be most likely to appeal to them. Our plan for this year in giving a general review of events and work carried out in the Toulon Town- ship High School has been consider- ably changed owing to unfavorable financial reports of previous years, and a desire on the part of the stu- dents to try something new. There- fore we, the staff, place before the public the first issue of the Tolo Quarterly for their approval. Platform Of The Tolo Quarterly. 1. More school spirit. 2. More interest in athletics. 3. A cleaner school building. 4. Better social events. 5. Beautifying of school. 6. More student responsibility.

We have noticed some talent among the students that could be used to a great advantage, therefore the staff has decided to put on an Art Contest. Par- ticulars are given on page 5. So Let's Go! SCHOOL SPIRIT. School Spirit is thought of by most students as cheering for their foot- ball team or some other team repre- senting their school. We felt a great desire to give them a better under- standing of school spirit. Don't think that cheering isn't school spirit, be- cause it isg but it is a very small por- tion. First of all, we believe, comes the willingness to co-operate with other individuals of the school and carry out the rules of the school so that there would be no need of a Flunker's Club, a Black List and a Tardy Class after school: Did you ever stop to consider how much extra work it makes for a teacher to keep watch of a certain few individuals and keep them out of mischief? The spirit in school should be such that no teach- ers should have to keep students af- ter school for disciplinary reasons. Next, in importance, is the impres- sion given outsiders. We all judge a school by the accompanying rooters and the sportsmanship of a team that comes to visit us. Accordingly, let the character of our school be judged. Let's give the surrounding towns a good impression of our school and not let them go home and say, Gee, that's a tough burg, you don't catch me there again.

There was a good crowd both evenings although many who would like to have attended were pre- vented on account of the unfavorable weather. This play was a four-act comedy by Booth Tarkington. It was directed by Miss Olive Kackley who has put on Senior class plays here for several years. The cast was at work only five days, during which time they attend- ed all their classes. The plot centers around William Sylvanus Baxter, who had a strong desire for a dress suit for he must remain popular among his social set, but Mr. and Mrs. Bax- ter would not consent to this. Jane, Willie's little sister, afforded much comedy with her bread and butter and apple sauce. She was always appearing when she was not wanted. When Lola Pratt came to visit her friend, May Parcher, Willie's desire and he affords much comedy in his efforts to get one. Amusing parts are introduced by Genesis, an old negro, and Mr. Parch- er. The members of the young social set are Johnnie Watson, a pal of Willie's, Joe Bullitt, Mary Brooks, Wallie Banks, Miss Boke and George Crooper. Lawrence Henry, who is the class president, acted as a very capable business manager of the play and Harvey Packer was the property man. Curley's Orchestra furnished music between acts. The last evening the cast presented Miss Kackley with roses in expression of their apprecia- tion of her untiring effortsand per- sonal interest in them. The class realized between sixty and seventy dollars on the play. SCHOOL PARTIES. Junior-Sophomore Party. The Junior class was very pleas- antly entertained by the Sophomore class Friday evening, October 2,.1n the High School gym. The evening was spent in playing party games and dancing. Music was furnished by Curley's orchestra. Refreshments consisting of sandwiches, salad and cakes were served. Weiner Roast.
