After roll was call an election of officers took place, which resulted as follows: President, Reginald DePoe; vice-president, Louis Dupuis; secretary, Clifford McLeod; treasurer, Clarence Brown; yell leader, Nick Stepetin; sergeant-at-arms; Gideon B. Grub; reporter, John Nevers. Clifford McLeod, Henry Bowker and Nick Stepetin were appointed to make arrangements for our initiation entertainment. Our visitor was Mrs. Rose Downie. After our advisor, Mr. Iliff, gave his report the society adjourned. Nonpareil The Nonpareil Literary Society held their regular meeting in room 10 on Jan. 16. A very interesting program was rendered for the evening, which was followed with a song contest between the four upper classes and high school students. The judges decided as follows: Seniors first, Juniors second. Sophomores third. Each class was rewarded with a prize cake. After a few snappy songs and yells we heard from our visitors, Miss Stanley, Miss Strout, Miss Houk and Mrs. Downie, and also from our advisor. We then adjourned to meet again in the near future. DOMESTIC SCIENCE NOTES “Gaz-zoola! gaz zoola! goo-zay! Get out! get out! get out! of our way.” Its just the juniors again progressing in every way, day by day. Yes, we suppose you folks want to know how well we have succeeded in our cooking since the new year has rolled in. Last Monday we gave a formal dinner in honor of our visitor, Miss Groves. The guests gave us many fine compliments. And the “ Moonshine” cake was especially remarked on for its moonshine flavor. Just see who made it! Agnes Williams and Florence Mur chison. Mary Matt, one of our many promising junior cooks, made a very delicious “Souffle,” which is similar to a custard. But best of all we have found an infallible recipe made especially good to preserve children, with the following directions: One large grassy field, two or three small dogs, one half a dozen children, a pinch of brook, some pebbles. (Method) Mix the children well together, put them in the field, stirring constantly; pour the brook over the pebbles, sprinkle the field with flowers, spread over Last Wednesday Mrs. Whelan, who has charge of the science department, recited Riley’s “bear story” in the school assembly. The storv so delighted the 1st division that they spread the news and Mrs. Whelan was elected by the 2nd division for the following week. Mrs. Palmer gave the 2nd division an interesting and instructive description of her visit to Niagara F'alls. A special meeting for the classroom teachers was called Tuesday evening. Mrs. Palmer and Mrs. Thornhill discussed chapters I and II, Silent and Oral Reading. A number of matters pertaining to the welfare of the school were discussed. The exhibit from the American Child Health Association, which was left with us by Miss Groves, was examined and each teacher selected the material suitable for pre sentation to her classes. Health education is beginning to “take;” there’s no doubt about it; we have the proof: Hilda Johnson, a little girl in the second grade, was discovered carefully peeling back the brown skin on an onion while she peeped dubiouslv at the white lavers beneath. After a careful examination she exclaimed, “It hasn’t got anv germs!” As much as Hilda wanted the juicy onion she had no intention of eating it if a germ popped up his naughty head. After discussing in the class room the food value of milk and the injurious effects of candy eaten between meals, three little folks of the third grade substituted milk for candy in their pur chases at the store. SENIOR NOTES Raymond Haldane, a prominent senior, is making good in his singingabilitv. We like to hear his deep bass voice in “Bells of the Sea.” One of our studious seniors, Grace Johnson, so journed at the hospital on Sunday of last week. We rejoice to say she has returned all in one piece. We have just completed our 500 word themeson the biographv of some men such as Callas, Coolidge, Ford, Foch and Lodge. We found them interesting to look up. In order to increase our vocabulary we Seniors have taken to cross word puzzles. As vet we’ve had no serious results, but we fear that some are destined to be cross word fiends. Last Wednesday Miss Lapel was absent on account of illness and Williamette Blakeslee very willingly taught her class. This shows that the Seniors are anxious for a Normal Training Course. Miss Groves, our much-interested Supervisor of Home Economics, gave a very interesting talk on foods. After this if you happen to see any of us Seniors mak ing grimaces while eating rutabagas or turnips and such you’ll know we’re trying to live up to Miss Groves’ talk.
