T h e N e sik a , a younger boys’ societv, made a w orthy effort w hich will no doubt m aterialize th e next tim e. D uring chapel exercises last S unday evening the orchestra played 4 Land o ’ D ream s by S chum ann, a septet of girls sang “ D rink to Me O nly W ith T h in e E y es” — an old E n g lish so n g —A ddie M errill gave as a m onologue “ M innie at the M ovies,” th e choir sang “ E x to l Ye the L o rd ” by S haw ker, and S u p t. H all closed w ith a very stro n g talk on “ R eputation and C h a ra c te r.” H e m ade clear th e value of possessing a good rep u tation and agood character and also m en tio n ed how poverty-stricken is the person w ith a bad nam e. It was a talk w orthy the serious consideration of all and it was convincingly given. SE N IO R NOTES W e were q u ite surp rised to see tw o seniors, A nna L aR ance, and C arrie A nderson, take part in th e W inona Open Session. Alex Beauvais, an honorable m em ber of the class of ’23, has been absent from school for several days on account of illness. But no need to worry now as he has resum ed his studies. (F re sh ie ) “ W hat w ould you do if you were in my shoes?’ ’ (S en io r) “ I ’d get them s h in e d .” T he seniors are glad to have M innie Pataw a back again. A nna La Rance, com ing back from practice, m ade a rem ark to a girl w hich ran som ething like this: I am going to put my books u n d er my head to -n ig h t so my brains will absorb ev ery th in g th a t s in them . N ext m orning, stran g e to say, she found her head as em pty as ever. C arrie A nderson, hopped into M r. Mason s car p ro ceeding to Silverton to see the gam e. But the fates were against h er. T h e car, w hile going along, finally got stubborn and buried its front w heels in a d itch . A fter a few m om ents of delay they tu rn ed back to good old Chem aw a, as th e c a r could not m ake the trip . . .. .'ju j g a g w e -g - . . J 1 - 1
