Civic Committee Among the newly formed com­ mittees was the Civic Committee, the members of which are Euretta Murphy, Betty Jacob, Joe Hans- berry, Lucille Murphy, Jerome De- Stefano, Bessie Ericson, and Rob­ ert Morris. The purpose of this committee is to make every student feel more responsibility in regard to school property, and to stop the defacing of lockers, books, waUs, and desks. The committee has tried hard to fulfill these aims in a friendly manner as friends, not policemen. The White Hornet, Hi-Y, and Traf­ fic Committee have all lent their support. Miss Beck and Mr. An­ derson, as faculty advisers, have helped the committee immensely in its work.

On April 14, Jean Zingg and Nina Palmer, with several teach­ ers, left for New York to attend an Opera at the Metropolitan Op­ era House. The Opera was en­ joyed by all. A short report was made on the Opera to the Glee Club. The Opera House itself is worth going to see if you were not interested in operas. On this particular day, there were about 4,000 people who attended the per­ formance. It was so quiet that one could almost hear a pin drop. Peo­ ple didn’t dare make a noise for fear of someone’s telling them to keep quiet. Next year members of the club hope to make a similar trip. Orchestra Has Good Year Under the able direction of Mr. Schill, the orchestra again enjoyed a successful year. The membership has increased from 25 to 34. A larger number of Seniors will leave the orchestra than ever before. They are: Ruth Selliek, Euretta Murphy, Theodore Magee, David Purdie, John Jaqueth, Charles Mar- chant, Sidney Macy, and Frank Lanning. Besides playing for all school assemblies, the orchestra rendered a program by individual members and the entire orchestra. ‘‘I Like Your Nerve’*, the P. T.

Marionette Club, Puppet Makers Have Good Year The M arionette Club which is made up of ten High School boys and girls was organized in the middle of the year. It met after schoo every Tuesday. Its aims are to improve the methods of building our marion­ ettes and to give a show before the end of the year. A few out­ standing accomplishments so far are a cat, a marionette with a mouth that opens and closes, and several unique costumes.

of a DemocracyJ William Allen White The chief business of education must be the preparation of men and women capable of sustaining sane, wholesome vision; for with­ out vision the people must perish. We must have a practical educa­ tion that will educate a man to his serious reflection which makes good citizenship. Despite the fact that the percentage of illiteracy in Germany, Switzerland, France, and England is less than it is in America, we must have a revision of the school system in such a way that vocational work will hold boys and girls in their teens in the schools.

Thus the Girls’ Athletic Club started another year of sports. After the annual election of of­ ficers, the club began its season in earnest. The result of the elec­ tion was: President, Dot Tobin; Vice-President, Frances Cebello; Secretary, Pauline Geib, When the cold, sharp air made even the snappy game of hockey impossible, basketball became the most prominent feature. An intra­ mural tournament was staged be­ tween the following five teams: Moore, Teare, Tobin, Jacobsen, and Dempsey. A stiff battle for first pace was fought between Moore’s and Jacobsen’s teams which held Pep Talks Low Down them tie until the last game.
