The first of the outside meetings was at the home of Miss Alice Yates, on No- vember twenty-six. It was also the first meeting at which our new members were present. The occasion pro-ved to be of the enjoyable kind that the Society always has at, the homes of its members. 1 This society has nineteen members this semester, five new girls having been added. They are: Eloise Day, Catherine Ware, Gertrude Scliauffler, Gertrude Mul- let and Adeline Volker. . Iota Kappa Beta has two members on The Herald staff, Helen Hetherington and Rachel Kincade. Miss Hethermgton is one of the editors-in-chief. , Miss Mabel Johnson, who was for two years the president of this society, is at Vassar this year. T'he society appreciates very much the efforts of Laura Snodgrass, who has been a zealous president indeed. p THE MANDOLIN CLUB. I Not the least among the organizations of Westport High School is its Mandolin Club. Starting this year with twelve members, under the efiicient, leadership of Mr. J. E. Chinnery, it has already showed rapid improvement. , Cn November 15, at the request of the ladies of the Athenaeum, the Club en- tertained the old ladies of the George H. Nettleton Home with a few selections. As an evidencehof the pleasure which their music. gave to those present, the secretary of the Board of Directors of the Home sent to Principal Underwood a letter in which she says: 'fPlease tell ,the members of the Mandolin Club how much the inmates and all of the members of the board, as well as their guests en- joyed their music. We certainly appre- ciated their coming and we wish to thank them ever so much? The members of the Club are: Cyrilla H. Humes, Abbie Johnson, Ethel- K. Ad- doms, Genevieve Smith, Elsie Storr, Her- man Kuehlke, William Kintz, Walter Met- calf, Paul -A. Goodwin, Mathew J. Beudcr, Clifford C. Dooly and James H. Field. ., Mr. W. P. Dickenson, former instruct- or of the Mandolin Club, has gone to- Chi- cago to reside. U Some test papers had been sent home to be signed, with strict instructions from the teacher that each pupil sheuld obtain the signature of the stern parent, in case there was any difference in the strictness of the home government. When the papers were returned, o-ne of our smallest Freshmen had cmbtained only her mother's signature. Are you suref' said the teacher, that your mother is not one of the kind and gentle people who are too compassionate ? 'No, indeedj? said the candid Fresh- man 3 my mother used to be a school teacher? f'The R. T. C. Centerpiece Sto-ck Reports? fThree days after Report Cards were issued.j Great excitement! A great slump in English stock! This valuable investment, which had, before the disaster of Tues- day last, been at par, has since st.eadily depreciated in value until now it is quoted at 23. Will the pure food law affect lunch- room stock? This is the question that is making even the most reckless investors afraid to touch this property. Besides, there is a strong suspicion in' the public mind that this stock is watered.

Mr. Paul Stivers, the vice-pres- ident, is very prominent in the society work, an-d aside from his part in the Christmas play, has entertained the club in various ways at the regular meetings. The Programme Committee has ar- ranged very enjoyable and interesting pro- grammes, and in the acco-mplishment of its plans has been loyally supported by members. On the occasion of the Halloweien meeting the club was visited by a veiled prophet who read th-e fortunes of prom- inent members. Who could have forseen that such a fate as this awaits this small member? V Here is a dreadful sight, ' It makes my blood run cold: For here is Edwin Ellis, An awful pirate bold. He stands full seven feet in height, And in between his teeth, His trusty blade of ten-inch steel, Which never sees its sheath. The tales that captives tell of him Are terrible to hear, And so I warn you to beware: Avoid this buccaneer! ......li-. 'Several farces have been given which were far above the' average amateur per- formances, and we have not had to de- pend upon outside autho-rship for the plays, as we have a playwright o-f no small ability in our own numbers. Miss Cath- erine W are gave ay sketch of her own au- thorship, entitled: MA Scene in the Ed- iting Room of the Round Table Center- piece? Miss Ware herself impersonate-d the Editor-in-Chief, in a. lively and -inter- esting manner, while Mr. Snodgrass as- sumed the dignity of Literary Editor, and May Mott took the pa.rt of Society Ed- itor. Mr. Hohman showed his ability in the melodramatic line, and Mr. Alexander gave some witty take-offs on prominent members. Miss Snodgrass, accompanied by the beloved 'CTeddy, gave a veryef- fective, though sentimental poem, and Miss Merrill was very realistic in her sym- pathy for cats. The Round Table Club is well rep- resented in the Christmas Play. The fol- lowing members have been chosen in the cast: Miss Nanna Clagett, Miss Jeanette Stickle, Miss Leda Craven, Mr. Leslie Hohman, Mr. Paul Stivers, and Mr. Mar- vin Cary, all of whom are capable of ex- cellent work, and will undoubtedly .do credit to the club as well as to themselves. The club greatly appreciates the in- terest which Miss Nar-din, our adviser, has taken in the society, and wishes to 'thank her for her excellent advice and aid. The society is very proud of .the ar- tistic and 'attractive posters which have advertised our programmes. Miss Baily has made them varied in design and they have been excellent in execution.

In order to be in touch with these countries, there will be a historical paper read at each meeting. Combined with this, there will be, at alternate meetings, a discuS- sion of current topics. ---M --- . -.. , -,-. - .,.-..- f-: .. -Q J..!,m-L-U-S

There have been several changes in Tlee Herald for this year. With new ad- visers .and a. new staff, it will differ from previous issues in many respects. One new plan is the class reporter system. Each 'class selects a reporter, whose duty it is to collect and submit any incidents occurring in that class. This will greatly aid the local editors, and by giving mo-re material from which to choose, will help to raise the .standard of the department. The Herald's appeal for locals has met with hearty response. More locals have been found in the box than ever be- fore. N ow Kwe want exchanges, stories, poems and items of interest. Help The Herald to be better ,each number by put- ting your ideas on paper and into The Herald box. We wish to extend a cordial greeting to the new members of the faculty. Mr. Harnden, instructor in mathematics ance mechanical drawing, comes from Oak Park High School in Chicag-o. Mr. King of the science department is from La. Plata, Mo. Miss Mclieighan, teacher in Q.--:Q A..-- .....,a.-.........e..:-,.-...A ' English, was for several years in the Co- lumbia preparatory school of Rochester, N. Y., and we are all glad to see Miss Kahn back again after her yea.r's work at the University. With such noteworthy additions to our faculty, we sho-ul-d accom- plish even more this year than we have hitherto. The pupils of Westport High School give, annually, a sum to the poo-r of Kan- sas City. This year the contribution boxes were placed in the different rooms dur- ing the roll hours. The sum collected was thirty-seven dollars and ten cents, which was placed in the hands of a committee composed of Mr. Julian Ameling, Miss Louise Bannister, Mr. Marvin Cary, Miss Alice Phillips, Mr. Clyde Chace, Miss Ger- trude Schauffler, Mr. Joseph M-cCune, and Miss Hannah J obes, who -decided to give it to the Provident Association. REWARD OF IVIERIT. ' The Herald cover for this issue is the work of Miss Lydia Cook, whose design was considered the best off many submit- ted. Miss Charlin-e Baily, Miss Frances Reid and Miss Edna Marsh contributed designs of especial merit and were awardedg hon'ora.bl'e mention. The prize oifered this year is the same as that of- f-ered for the mid-year cover last year- a set of Shakespeare, which will be awarded at the annual Declamatio-n Con- test in the spring. A prize of S10 is offered for the cover design for the An- nual, and is open to the school at large. UNIVERSITY STUDENTS.
