and after he announced that he was
not going to open his speech with the
usual "I am so glad to see the bright
and smiling faces of all you young
people before me," he had his audience
with him. heart and- soul. He said
that the habits formed by the average
person in high school stuck to him
throughout life. This not only applies
to bad habits, but also to good ones,
according to Mr. Whitmore.

and all the students expect that the
play will be a good one.

An assembly was held Thursday
morning for the purpose of getting a
littie more starch, or school spirit, into
the students. Frank Normandin, presi
dent of the student body, was the first
speaker. He told the students how it
helped a team that was fighting for
all it was worth to win a game if the
members of the team thought that
there was someone who cared watch
ing the game. He told how the yelling
of the school helped, and how it put
spirit into the boys of the team. The
next speaker was Lyman Cooley, the
school yell leader. He told us that we
must not only support the school by
coming t.o the games, but we must go
further, and learn all the school yells.
If, at a game, no one except the yell
pleader knows the yells, the school can
not make much noise. He asked all to
attend the rally assemblies each noon.
The assembly was closed by the giving
of two yells.-
On Wednesday the first number of
the Lens was issued.

title students to credit.
Principal Fletcher stated that no stu
dent taking regular work in day school
could attend night school except . in
cases when permission is received from
him. He explained that the reason for
not allowing students to attend both
day and night school was that they
cwould not have time to prepare their
work properly. Just as physical activi
ties, such as football, !asketball,. etc.,
neea time and judicious training, so
do the mental faculties. "We cannot
do our best work if we do not have the

Benson Polytechnic Boys)
By RAYMOND HILL.
WITH a spirit of real industry, the
students of the machine shop at
the Benson Polytechnic School are
turning out a vast amount of machin
ery for the new school. These ma
chines that are being built at the pres-
ent time are purely experiments. The
machines to be built are first "dreamed
of" by the instructors, then built, piece
by piece.- by the students. It is then
tested thoroughly. In every case the
machines built in the Benson machine
shop prove perfect in every detail.
It is interesting to note that not one
single machine ever built in the ma
chine shop was constructed from a set
of plans. These machines are built
by mere experimenting. They are then
dissembled and taken to the draught
ing room, where a working drawing is
made of each part. These drawings
are then taken to the superintendent
of the plant, and a finished product is
made for commercial use.
It is also interesting to note that in
the Eastern automobile plants not one
single automobile is first built from
plans drawn before. They are duiii,
every part, by experiment In the ex
perimenting rooms of the plant by the
engineers and master mechanics. who
figure everything out as they go. Then
the details are drawn for commercial
manufacture. At the Benson Polytech
nic School the same principle is carried
out. I
The latest machine completed was
a "key seater, designed oy jar. w 111-
iams, instructor. This machine was
built entirely by the students, and at
the test made Thursday it proved per
fect. It will be interesting to many
people to know that the machine shop
of the new school will be the largest
and best-equipped shop on the Paciric
Coast.
There are about 100 students regis
tered in the machine shop, wniie seven .
students are taking the advanced tool-
making course.
The blacksmlthing and forging de
partment of the machine shop is an In
teresting study in itseli. xnere. aDouii
50 students are becoming efficient in I
the making of difficult welds, tools
and everything that constitutes a com
plete course In machine blacksmlthing.
On accpunt or the death of his
mother, in California last week. Fred
Goldman, Instructor of applied science,
was absent from classes several days.
The top-liner ,of school events up to
the present time was the Halloween
party given in honor of the seniors
by the June, '17, class, Friday evening.
The event was staged at the girls
school in the gymnasium, which was
decorated with ferns, crepe paper ana
Jack-o'-lanterns. The feature of the
party was the fact that, although it
was a costume party, no masks were
allowed, although several of the stu
dents got around this edict by painting
their faces in all sorts of hideous man
ners. The costumes were a novelty in
themselves, ranging from the infant
to the "old folks" in dress.
"Hiram's favorite tankage," and
"Mandy's perfect washers," which were
nono other than real, old-time apple
cider and home-made doughnuts, made
the evening's enjoyment complete. Fred
Goldman, chaperons of the June, 17
class of bays, and William Oetinger,
faculty adviser of the seniors, with the
assistance of Mrs. Graham, chaperone"-!
or tne gins. Kept tnings moving tne
entire evening.
The senior class will hold an lmpor
tant meeting ntt Wednesday after
noon immediately after school at the
girls' school in Room 7. The purpose
of the meeting will be to select a class
play, to be staged in December. The
proceeds will so into, the class teas-
