By Opal Welraer
llITH the entrance of 75 new students
at the hearinnins- of
this semester
ine seating capacity o the high
school building is completely Wiled. The
gymnasium has been converted Into a
general study room by Installing about
70 desks with space left yet for about
50 more; by jplaclng blackboards and
transferring the books of the library
there. As the. gymnasium is a smaller
rcom than the regulation interscholastic
gymnasium, this change gives the school
an excellent study room and also makes
It necessary to secure another place
for a gymnasium. To fill this need the
St Johns skating rink, which has an
excellent floor and balcony, . has been
rented. It is also of regulation size and
removes the handicap of a small floor
which the basketball boys have previ
ously had to overcome with a greater or
less degree of success. The rink is
three blocks distant from the high
school building. Gymnasium classes will
he held as usual. Miss Sauvaln is to
have, charge of the girls' classes.
The spring term began with an as
sembly Monday morning. Principal W.
T. Fletcher welcomed the lncomlne stu
dents, 70 of whom are freshmen, and
five of whom are students from other
high schools. Charles S packman, presi
dent of the James John Associated Stu
dent Body, then welcomed them in be
half of the school. The entire enroll
ment of the school is about three hun
dred or -over.
Those new students who did not know
their way about' the building Monday
morning were guided by the ten girls
of the pedagogy class, who gave ex
plicit directions to all who needed
them.
On Tuesday afternoon, immediately
after dismissal of school, the meeting of
ine various classes were held to select
the officers for the ensuing term. Os
car Anderson was chosen by the senior
class to lead them through its last term
at James John, with Marion Dunsmore
as vice president; Winifred Walker Is
to take charge . of the secretary book
and Earl Keliker was reelected to han
dle the treasure of the class. John
wulf was rMiecfed
Junior president.
Ruth Edmondson Ttce president-Verda
McNiven treasurer and Gwenyth Young
secretary. 'The -officers o the fifth
term , class are Edmund Kugel, presi
dent ; Genevieve Brown, vice president ;
Rudy Anderson, secretary ; Leland
Stone, treasurer, and Paul ChaWerton,
sergeant-at-arms. The second term
class. has elected only two officers as
yet: 'Mildred Sparhawk, president and
Jessie Mao Niven, treasurer.
In accordance with the expressed de
sire of the student body that a stand
ardized senior plh be adopted, a design
was chosen last Wednesday afternoon
by a committee composed of one repre
sentative from each class organized last
term. The members of the committee
were : Margaret Bunerman, representing
the first term class , Adelaide Heer,
second term ; Helen Story, third term ;
Genevieve Brown, fourth term ; Merrltt
Whitmore, Junior, and Opal Welmer,
chairman, fifth trm.
The first singing assembly of this
term was held last Thursday mornings
led by Mr. Boyer. The Junior class was
represented by three of its members,
Alice Brown, vocal ; George Larsen,
violinist ana Everett Day, pianist, in a
trio "She's the Daughter of Mother Mc-
Cree." At Mr. Boyer"s request all the
first termers sang "Santa Lucia" for
the benefit of the rest of the school, who
Joined them in the second stanza.
The lecture on the subject of "How to
Make a Community Better," by Ben R.
Vardaraan in the high school auditor
turn last Tuesday evening was preceded
by a banquet which was attended by
a notable gathering of prominent busi
ness men and women of St Johns. J. N.
Edlefsen, president of the ' Peninsula
National bank, was chairman1' of the
committee. Toasts were given by Mr.
Edlefsen, Principal W. T. Fletcher, Mrs.
Johnson and Mr. Vardaman. The ban
quet held in room 8, was prepared by
the domestic science class No. 2 under
the Instruction of Miss Maud Chollar.
The service of the girls of the class
In planning for the occasion, preparing
the food and serving it Is very com
mendable. Their names are Gladys Fa
ber, Earllne Walton, Bergliot Tallefsen,
Dorothy Ross, Johanna Vanderwall,
Clara Rles, Adelaide Leer, Melba Stew
art Ruth Tlndall, Lillian Tooley, Nava
Seely, Theresa Reich, Sarah Secor and
Charlotte Klrkwood.
Sociology Is a live subject In James
John. The instructor, C. C Thomason
has outlined a plan, under which the
members of the class take the Initiative
In every phase of the course. One group
is to specialize In presiding, a second
group will act as secretaries, while a li
brary commission and two financial
managers for the class have been se
lected from the remaining members.
Those students studying presiding will
"take turns" in the chair for periods of
one week. - The secretaries will keep
minutes of each day's work and the li
brarians will have full charge of a large
line of special material collected to sup
plement the text- The subject matter of
the text book and of such special bul
letlns. books and news clippings as may
be assigned, will be brought out by the
introduction of resolutions, discussions
and final vote on these. As a means of
getting Information first hand, the class
or a committee representing it, will visit
some of the points of Interest to socio
logical problems. To Becure funds to
finance these trips the talent of the
class will be drawn on, and several en
tertainmenta are to be given. One of
these, the first. In fact, is already sched
uled for Brlday afternoon and evening.
February IS, at the Clinton Kelly school.

Commerce has Just received a set of
slides to be shown by the new stereop-

from photographs of the many classes
In vocational training at Commerce.
In order to obtain credit in fourth
term typewriting, the students must at
tain a speed of 35 words per minute on
machines having blank keyboards. This
attainment must be made afthe begin
ning of the term, so one may readily
see why there is such' a demand for
stenographers from the High' School of
Commerce.
The. evening class In comptometer and
mathematics which started last Septem
ber, has just concluded its labors.
Whether a second class will be formed
depends on the demand. A new class in
Pitman shorthand was organized Wed
nesday evening.
To. secrets have leaked out from the
graduates since the commencement last
week. The marriage of Gilberta Bridge-
water was quite a surprise to her Com

of Bertha Lichtgarn.
Already Commerce is planning another
big stunt to be pulled off In the near fu
ture.. A big minstrel show Is to fill the
deficit in the treasury of the Athletic
association. The talent is to be secured
from the students who can make others
gloom killers. The committee in charge
of the affair is Henry Wagner, Ruth

1?HB MIKADO," the comic opera
which Is to be given by the Frank
lin musical department will take place
February 20 In the Municipal Auditor
ium. There will be only one perform
ance. The choruses are ready to pre
sent their numbers now, and the re
hearsals of the leading parts are pro
gressing very satisfactorily. Some
doubt has been expressed as to the abil
ity of the principals to make themselves
heard throughout The Auditorium. One
rehearsal there, however, dispelled that
fear. The scenery and costumes to be
used that evening will be very unique
and beautiful. Special scenery is being
prepared and the chorus costumes will
be very elaborate. The ; event promises
to be the most brilliantly costumed af
fair of the season.
"The Madrigal," which is sung in the
second act by Misses Oveda Weber and
Helen Johnson and Messrs. Deegan and
Dorap. Is probably the most difficult
and at the same time most pleasing of
the musical numbers.
So many requests have been made for
a class in Gregg shorthand that pne
was organized this term. At present it
is under the direction of Mr. Parks, but
owing to his lack of time another
teacher" will, have to be engaged for the
commercial department
