Little boy (speaking of his arith metic): I’m pretty good in this ad ding business, but when it comes to the lessening stuff, I’m no good at all. * * * Judging from the heavy eyelids in school on January 1, the New Year’s celebration must have been well at tended. * ^ * Teacher (solemnly): There’s a missing face in this room today. Pupil (looking around room): Whose ? Teacher: The clock’s. * * * Why didn’t the men who made the calendar scatter a few more holidays throughout the year?

BOOKS I WOULD LIKE TO OWN AND WHY (Continued from Page 3) Count Luckner, the Sea Devil— Lowell Thomas. limt Von Luckner terrorized the whole of the Pacirc-TA’‘»‘^*^^^ four years of the war, yet in that time he did not lose a single member of his crew, nor did he cause the loss of a single Allied life. He ventured out into the Pacific in an old ship, with one cannon mounted in the stern. He captured lighter-armed vessels by a formidable display of arms, and out- maneuvered those which were superior to his own. Some of these maneuvers call forth the highest commendation of his skill as a commander, while the many tricks to which he resorted to baffle his enemies are amusing, to say the least. Any account of his ad ventures would be interesting. 9. The Red Knight of Germany— Floyd Gibbons. To mention aerial fighting in the World War is to call forth memories of Baron Von Richthofen, the “Red Knight of Germany.” His “circus” was feared above all others on the Western Front. They were always to be recognized by the brilliant scarlet noses of their planes. Leading them would be the plane of Baron Von Rich thofen. This book tells of the career in the air of this famous flier, and of his death. 10. Bolivar—T. R. Ybarra. This is the story of Simon Bolivar, who died friendless in a borrowed night-shirt, after having become mas ter of a continent, and having over thrown mighty Spain. Such are the main points of Bolivar’s career. He came out of the plains of Venezuela with his bloodthirsty v/arriors to sweep the country with his despera dos. With his motley army he crossed the impassable Andes, duplicating the triumph of Hannibal. This is a desirable book in more senses than one, for it is a clear graphic account of the life of a little- known but praiseworthy leader. CANNON-FETZER SCHOOL CLOTHIERS 158 S.

HISTORICAL SOCIETY MEETS (Continued from Page 1) The high school history depart ment head also enjoyed a report on the “Industrial Revolution of the Twentieth Century” by W. E. Lingle- back of Pennsylvania University. The speaker humorously mentioned tPar the McCormack reaper VMfind no place when “pill farming” grows in importance. This method of farming- will consist of raising food plants and flowers in chemical laboratories. The speaker also predicted that within the next few generations in dividuals will take synthetic food in capsules. Because of the unusually mild weather which prevailed during the three days of the conference the northern delegates gained a fine im pression of the sunny Southern cli mate. New Honor Society Members Wear Pins The eleven new members taken into the National Honor Society this fall are now proudly wearing their club pins. These pins are in the shape of a key stone with the lighted torch of knowledge emblazoned upon it. The letters, C, S, L, S are grouped around the torch. These letters stand for the qualities that the members who wear this pin must possess, the qualities of Character, Scholarship, Leadership, and Service. The words “The National Honor Society” are placed across the top of the pin. Each new member who is admitted into this society receives a pin as symbol of his membership. The mem bers all agree that the pin is an in spiration to them and an aid in main taining a high standard in their school life. WINS FIRST PLACE IN BROADHURST CONTEST (Continued from Page 1) othy Forward, third winner, holds one of the highest scholas records in the junior class. The remaining contestants are sen iors, with the exception of Burt As bury, and they are all good students. “High school students are my weakness,” said Mr. Smart of the Broadhurst theatre. “I shall be glad to offer more prizes for high school French students if the teachers would like. I wish that I could give each of them a prize.” “T'he translations were uniformly excellent. There was little difference among the best papers. Those who did not win lost by mere oversights. These letters were judged by the original translation.” In conclusion Mr. Smart said, “I truly appreciate the interest which the students took in this contest. Not a single poor paper was handed in. They must have had some excellent teachers and training.” THE COMMERCIAL NATIONAL BANK Capital and Surplus $2,000,000.00 J. Elwood Cox, President C. M. Hauser, Vice-President V. A. J.
