Class historians elected are Hilda Smith and James 'Fidwell. Mr. Plullijis read letters from otlicr high schools concerning tlie annual. The report showed that all but two had sen ior books and those two were considering doing away with the annual and sub stitute some less expensive book. The principal had found that the demand for money and the amount of time put on the annual is too great. lumbeIjacket fad HAS STRUCK G. H. S. Sweater of Many Bright Colors Can be Seen Around School—Christ mas Colors Predominate. At last the masculine portion of G. H. S. is sporting a fad. Everywhere evidence of this fact may be seen for it has caught the attention and admiration of nearly every boy in school and has victims ranking from the plainest book worm to the handsomest shieks. This fad is called the “lAimber Jacket” and is nothing more or less than a new com bination of a sweater made like a shirt, which still retains the appearance of a coat or jacket. (^uecr, very queer indeed, for in spite of there being a doubt as to just what this new’ article of dress is, it is usually fashioned of materials colored with the brightest and most dashing hues, such as bright blue and orange or the Christ mas color scheme of green and red, and since the favorite pattern or design is the checkerboard, these bright colcirs give the jacket quite an air. Aside from adopting these new jack ets, to be an up-to-date boy one must also don knickers and golf socks of sympathetic shades and finish off the w’hole by leaving the head uncovered and allowing the hair in all its glory of greased brightness, to shine forth. The effect is usually quite startling, for boys as a rule haven’t a well-developed sense of color scheme: as often as not a red headed youth will select an orange get- up and be perfectly satisfied with the result. Nevertheless, while the costume may not be so very pleasing to the eye, It is endured, for after all it is only a fad and all fads soon die out. CLASS OF ’25 PLANS REUNION IN DECEMBER Jefferson Cafe Will Be Scene of De lightful Banquet for Former Students Dec. 28. One fine evening when the snowflakes begin to fly and the mercury show’s an inclination for the lower regions, a group of familiar faces will find lodgment tw'o hundred and tw'enty-five feet above the streaming traffic of the Gate City. For on this evening, Dec. 28, to be exact, the class of 1925 from G. H. S., will hold its annual reunion baiupiet in the Jeffer son Cafe at 7:30. It will be a night of gay greetings and happy reminiscences. Many attrac tive stunts have been planned to bright en the hours. It is hoped that the class will be there one hundred percent strong to enjoy a hundred per cent good time in the delightful atmosphere of a ban quet in the Christmas season. ‘Tis education forms the common mind;; Just as the tw’ig is bent the trees inclined. —Pope. Edited by • Elizabeth Rockwell Culture is “To know’ the best that has been said and taught in the w’orld". —Mathexv Arnold. The Megaphone—Northeast High School - I’hiladeljiliiar I’a. Welcome to our exchange list. The exchange editor was, at one time, a Philadelphian. Your entire jiaper is ex tremely well arranged, but your front page is especially so. Y'ours is, indeed, a worthy platform. We wish you luck. The Ramhler Charlotte High School, Charlotte, N. C. W’v are glad you think so well of our pajier. Yes, High Life will have an exchange column, 'fhe first issue did not carry one because of the early date at which it was published. A High School of your size should have more news, 'fhe toj) of your front page is too heavy for the rest. Manual Aria Weekly -Manual Arts High School Los Angeles, Cal. ’'I’ours is, indeed, a paper to be proud of. 'J'he exchange editor read every word of your juiper and enjoyed it im mensely. Aren't you going to have an exchange column? Y'our “Have a Laugh Pill and Chuckle" column was unusually g)od. The editorial on the Shenandoah was very good, but don't you think the space could have been filled to better sidvantage ic the editorial had been about something pertaining more to High School life? The Pinnaele I’rinccton High School— Princeton, \V. N'irginia. 'fhe i’innaclc is full of real live new's and the front jiage is well arranged, but don't \()u think that bolder type for the top headlines and more variation in the others would tend to relieve the sameness of the headline type, which is so tiresome? La Crosae Hi Tribune—I.a Crosse High School- La Cros.se, Wl.sconsin. It is to your credit that a paper of your size includes every activity per taining to school life; couldn't you man age to put in exchanges? Y'our front page does not measure up to the high standard set by the exceptional arrange ment of the other three pages. The West High Tattler—Des Moines, low’a. The arrangement of your front page is very good, but it is very bad style to have editorial and feature articles on the front page. You have some real news on your back page which would do very well for the first page. You might give athletics a little more space and confine them to one page. The Monday Mourning Moan—Forest Grove High School—Forest Grove, Ore. Your High School building is cer tainly beautiful. The arrangement of your ads is good, but the cross-word puzzle is placed so as to give the im pression that it is one of them. We hope your editorials on Pep get the de- .-.ired response. More variation in the type of your headlines on the front page would greatly improve your paper. PRESBYTERIAN BOYS CLUB SELECTS “KILTIE KLUB” FOR ITS NAME Moore Suggests Title Chosen Prom the Many Offered. Play Discussed by Wunsch 'J'he Boys’ C'lub of the First Presby terian Church at its regular meeting on Wedncsdfiy, October 28, selected as a name for it's organization “Kiltie Klub.” Beverly Moore, who suggested the name, expxhiined it’s meaning. It is Scotch in origin; “it is the dress of the Scotch,” he said. “It should be of si)ecial signifi cance to us since we are, for the most jiart, Presbyterians, and Presbyterian ism had its birth in Scotland.” Names were suggested by every one of the thir ty-five members present, 'i'he five fav orites were: “'i’oii Notchers,” “Knights of the S(]uarc 'i’able,” “Grub Klub,” “Bobby Wunschtor’s,” and the “Kiltie Klub.” 'i'he meeting was opened for discussion of the suggested iiJimes. “Kil tie Klub'’ was unanimously selected in the end.
