I “Mr. Cope, what are your
lews on jazz?” (Here I looked
t Barbara importantly; this
las our first interview.)
1 “Jazz! W^iiy the musicians of
jermany have had to accept it,
ecause it is an interpretation of
fe—and American life at that.”
“What do you think of our
hool?”
I “You have a fine school. You
'on’t realize what a convenient
|tuation it has until you see some
|f tlie other schools. You have
jlenty of outdoor space at your
jisposal and the building itself,
s much as I have seen is nicely
■;uilt.”
! “Yes,” broke in Barbara, “and
Specially our beautiful (?)
(Uditorium.”
. “We—ell, the auditorium will
one of the most attractive
fuditoriums in the state when it
S finished.”
“Well, Happy Cope, how do
fou like our piano?”
I “I have quoted your school,
‘tate, and auditorium, but I can’t
lUote your piano.”
I “Then, Mr. Cope, you are a
pusician, but not a poet. Only
*• poet, or an artist, can appre-
pa-te the symmetrical lines of
l^^^^uch (?) piano.”

to be entered in the contest,
^rs. Middleton said that the
students showed fine spirit tak-

f^i’prise.
Various Other Ailments Take
Their Toll
BOTH TEAMS WIN IN
TRIANGULAR DEBATE
BOTH FACULTY AND
STUDENTS STRICKEN
Measles! Measles! Measles!
Have you had the measles?
Maybe you haven’t, but ninety-
four of the student body have
had it. From all reports these
ninety-four were rather re
joiced that they could have a
vacation. Quite a few said that
they needed to catch up on their
lost sleep. Mrs. Cox even got
“them,” which goes to prove that
she is still young.
Along with the measles several
students at G. H. S. have had
various other ailments. Ralph
Giddens sustained an appendici
tis operation. Well, Ralph,
we’ll give it you—you certainly
did get sick at a good time! Con
gratulations! We’re glad to see
you back again and have missed
3^ou. Mary Borden has had an
operation for appendicitis. Seems
to be quite the style these days
—especially for them! On top
of that Mary took the measles.
But we’re glad that she’s back
Avith us again.
Among the faculty, Miss Tay
lor had the “Flu” and was out
two days. Mr. Sansbury had an
infected finger and was out
several days on that account.
Now that almost Qveryone has
recovered and the epidemic seems
to have run its course, we hope
that the attendance for the rest
of the year will be good.

the Whites.
The meeting was then turned
over to Mr. Green, who said that
the program was for the purpose
of correcting the way to talk over
the phone. Marion and Ezra il
lustrated both the incorrect and
the correct way of carrying on
conversations between two busi
ness offices.
Incorrect

For Ten Years
RECENTLY BROKE RECORD
Students, teachers, everybody,
there’s a student in G. H. S. who
obviously likes to come to school.
Anyway Robert Musgrave, a
junior this year, has been com
ing to school for ten years with
out missing a day. Imagine that!

At a recent meeting the
School Boa I'd decided to dismiss
Mr. Wilson and the faculty for
a three months’ vacation. After
much thought and discussion the
Board decided to give the entire
High School faculty a long rest.
This 3^ear has been exceedingly
hard on the teachers on account
of the dumb students and the
talk of a ten per cent reduction
in salaries. It was decided that
seniors are to take charge of
classes and the office.
