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. Westport High School is well repre- sented at the State universities of Mis- souri and Kansas. Three of the gradu- ating class of last year, Wilfred Walltn-er, Walter Barnes and Douglass Wornall are at Columbia, and live, Margaret Fort, Edward Schaufller, Claude Jennings, Ed- ward James, and Wesley Stout, are at Lawrence. Missouri had before claimed as her sons Wm. R. Hornbuckle, who will be graduated in Academic in '08, and in.

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.

Smith, who will be a full- fledged farmer and also a graduate of the Academic department in '08 5 and Arthur Jones, who will be a 'fBachelor in Agri- culturev in '09, Mary Minor, Stanley Adams, and Clyde S. Fife are completing courses at Kansas University. We are glad to be able to announce that all of these loyal supporters of Westport are do- ing well in their new environment. We have heard great things of Wilfred Walt- ner and Walter Barnes in the foot-ball line. Both of these athletes made the All-classv team which defeated the ,Var- sity a few days before Thanksgiving, and are almost certain of making the gust team next year. Edward James is study- ing hard preparatory to taking part in spring athletics, and Claude Jennings, while waiting for the opening of the ball season, is playing in the University band. W TWO VICTORIES. . As usual! floor unswept, bee. unmade 5 lazy old skate lv and the speaker hurled Bury's History of Greece into the corner. A 'fAren't you gettinf a little unneces- sarily excited, Raffles, honey ?i' inquired a drawling voice from the window-seat in the corner! .where a figure in a bathrobe was luxuriously lounging over the latest novel, While the works of Titus Livius lay gathering dust in a remote corner. 'No, I idonft think I amj' responded Raflies,l' an athletic-looking fellow in a long overcoat. f'Did I tell you what she said to me this morning ?', it 'fDon't believe you -did, replied the room-mate with a grin. Said she wished when I came in af- ter nine olclock I fd come up stairs in my stocking feet, so 's not to disturb Mr. Shrew, -who goes to bed at half' past eight. Old idiot, he ought to have been Cslerized twenty years ago ID 4 Dear ,old lamb! Thomas, it really pains me to observe the disrespect you have for your landlady. I found she fd carefully wrapped Aphrodite in one of my Ascots, with this little notice: 'I al- waysinsist on maintaining a respectable house? Say, kid, are you going to go to, the Sophomores' spread with me to-night, Marian Ds going to be there. ' No, I'm going to grind to-night, Ralph., Ol-d Decker 's scheduled a quiz in Mediwval for to-morrow, and I know less about the said sub-ject than Mrs. Shrew does about wa.shing windows, if such a thing 's possible. ffZeus probed into our ignorance of Greek art to-dayj' said Ralph cheerfully. CCI told him that the ceilings of Greek temples looked like iwafile-irons andy- with a grin-ffI'm afraid I fell flat as a pancakefi , 'fRottenI rotten In said Raffles, gently tossing a shoe at the speaker. Coming up to the game at Lincoln Saturday to watch yours truly tear through the Corn- husker line lp' f'That idepiendsji remarked Ralph, Mon a number of things, chiefly on my ability to float a loan. I might put Aphrodite in soak, but she wouldn't bring much, let is see, your black suit ought to bring a little, and I 'll borrow the rest.
