The Freshmen are going to
organize. Sympathy to the Sophs.
We lost two games last_week-
end, but if we win one this week
we are ahead of the game.
Freshmen are requested to wear
their other faces to the Hal

Examinations are only a few
weeks off. Study. “Eventually,
why not now?"
FRESHMEN CLASS
Some time during next week
the class of 1929, will organize.
The whole school looks forward
to that event, because the whole
student body has, at some time
or other, gone through the same
thing. Organizing your class for
the first time, in college, is an
ev'ent to look forward to, an event
to be proud of, an event that de
serves your most loyal support
and our deepest consideration.
The other three classes have
had their troubles, factions have
arisen, which have at times in
terfered with the workings of the
classes; but the new class has be
fore it the opportunity to have a
class without factions and with
out dissension. Take advantage
of it. When your vote is cast,
on any problem, have your class
and your school in mind. Always
let first things come first and your
class will have a successful
journey through its four years of
existence.
The members of the three up
per classes are looking toward
the class of 1929 hopefully. They
believe in you. It is up to each
individual of the class to make a
resolve with himself, to always
cast his vote for that thing which
will best serve the interest of his
class.
as it has heretofore under the direc
tion of their predeceseors.
After the election of officers and the
regular business session a short literary
program was given. The first speaker,
Mr. .1. V. Burgess, told some of the
pecularities of that section of western
Arizona known as the Rocky Mountain
Pineplain. Mr. Burgess gave an ex
cellent description of the topography
of the country, its plateaus and moun
tain ranges.
Mr. Marvin Sexton then entertained
the society with a piano solo.
Mr. W. Griffin talked on the topic,
“Why the T’nited States ^favy?”, ex
plaining the importance of the navy in
protecting Americans in foreign coun
tries if need be, in protecting Ameri
can merchantmen on the seas, and as
a protection against invading enemies.
Are Women a Failure in Politics?”
was the subject treated of by Mr. H.
Eichardson. Mr. Bichardson presented
the views of a Miss Blair, a politician,
on the question to prove that although
women have not revolutionized politics
as it was at first thought they would,
they have not been a failure in politics
and that tlieir influence toward the
betterment of political conditions would
be felt gradually.
The judges’ decision gave to Mr.
Richardson the place of the best speak
er on the program. Mr. J. V. Burgess
w^as given honorable mention.

I Student Forum |
Since the opening of school there has
been much said, among the students,
about being dissatisfied with con.litions
here, this vear. Xow, this is a normal
student body and we have an adminis
trative force about equal to a)iy that
will be found in a school of this size.
Consequently we feel that there should
be^some means of settling any causes
of'friction that miglit exist here.
We are herewith offering the students
a medium, through which they may
“air out” any difference, which they
mav have with the administration, the
faculty, or the student go'verning
bodies, real or imagined. If you know
of something which you think is cans
ing friction, in the school, write it up
and hand it to the editor. Be sure
that it is sensible and that it really
amounts to something. Your name will
not be used in connection with the
article, if you so desire.
Be fair. Don’t grumble to your
schoolmate, your friend, or your room
mate about something that is bother
ing you, but tell it to the whole school
and probably, if you can show reason
for the condition being changed, it will
be changed.
“Speak now, or forever hold your
peace.”

A Self-Starting Power Plant
The Clio Literary Society, at the
regular session last Tuesday evening
in the society hall, elected its officers
foT the second quarter of the school
year. Mr. Colclough was elected presi
dent and Mr. Richardson w’as chosen
as vice-president by the society, both
men being efficient and active in their
work in the society. For the position
of secretary, Mr. J. D. Gorrell was
elected; as treasurer, Mr. J. L. Lyuch;
first censor, Mr. E. C. Brady and. sec
ond censor, "Mr. W. L. McLeod. Mr.
E. L Roberson and Mr R. E. Brittle
were elected as critics, and Mr. L. T.
McLeod as chaplain. With these men
in office, it is certain that the good
work of the society will go forward
The General Electric Company
has developed generating and
transmitting equipment step
by step with the demand for
clectric power. Already electric
ity at 220,000 volts is trans
mitted over a distance of 270
miles- And G-E engineers, ever
looking forward, are now
experimenting with voltages
exceeding a million.
A new series of G-E advertise
ments showing what electricity
is doing in many fields will be
sent on request. Ask for
booklet GEK-1.
Dawn—the slumbering city awakens and calls for
electric current. Many miles away the call is
answered. A penstock opens automatically, releas
ing impounded waters; a water turbine goes to
work, driving a generator; and electric current is
soon flowing through wires over the many miles to
the city. This plant starts and runs itself.
Power plants with automatic control are now-
installed on isolated mountain streams. Starting
and stopping, generating to a set capacity, shut
ting down for hot bearings end windings, gauging
available water supply, they run themselves with
uncanny precision.
Thus another milestone has been reached in the
generation of electric power. And with present-day
achievements in power transmission, electricity
generated anywhere may be applied everywhere.
The non-technical graduate need not know where
electricity comes from—nor even how it works.
But he should know what electricity can do for
him no matter what vocation he selects.
