The reason the boys take home economics, and a dish which is. very good but non-fattening. A, W. Greeson was the informer for the first fact. He said, “The women are getting lazy. I figure if I ask one to marry me I won’t get anything to eat and I can’t stand that. My home economics will take care of that point.” A. W.’s cake is what you call very good and there no doubt tha^ he will never go hungry on account of “these lazy women.” Some of the boys are not quite so sun themselves. Ben Fortune remarks, “I don’t know whether I can cook water or not. I an afraid I might burn it.” Roy Wherley, constant hunter for ; diet to reduce his bulk, told the re porter of a recent discovery: “The othe day one of the boys cooked up a dish le called cheese fondu. I looked at he recipe, tasted the finished cookery, nd was very surprised to find it of , real good taste, for the contents i ery simple. I brought out my micro scope and started hunting for those little fat particles which cause all trouble. What I found was a greater ■prise than the first one. In this cheese mixture I found so little fat that ? just enough to keep a person healthy, I think I will start an eigh teen day diet consisting of only cheese The hoys have entertained the men taF»*ji_j;his year with no deaths follow ing, and quite a few smiles. Girls, start looking about for a member of the Boys Home Ec. class. P. T. A. HAS ANNUAL PICNIC FOR FACULTY 61 Teachers and Large Number of Par ents Are Present—Boating, Music, Dancing for Amusements.

The program of the Goodwill Stu dent Council headed by Jack No'v.'lin has been brought to a successful close. The work of the council will be carried on by the new president, Frank I’itt- Tlie .student government plan came into use at (i. H. S. in 1922. At first the school had no otlier use of it than for discipline, and It was not until l!)2d and 27 that really constructive projects were undertaken by the organ ization. Discipline from that time has ceased to be a main factor of tlie coun cil. About three or four years ago tlier' started a growing feeling of discon tentment and crith'ism about the coun cil. Students liegan to feel that the council could "do the job." and they hud no part hi it. This is what Jack Nowlin and his council used for tlie foundation of the iirogram. Jack was the candidate of the people, and he has tried to bring back the government to the people. I'sing the Goodwill Student Council as a niedium. he has been able to sell the idea of student government to the stu dents. The I'ounc-il in lairrying out its iilaii has presented the (Joodwill idea through chapel programs and the frank presentation to ^he student of every proposed plan, through Jack's pleasing, Imppy personality the idea has been carried out in a tine waj', Ne.vt .vear's council will have the foundation layed by the Goodwill Coun cil to build on; without it it would be ulmo.st impossible to continue the .stu dent governiiieut plaii. It is the policy of the office that stu dents have leadershij), authority and prestige just as long as it is carried on in a fair, tine acceptable way.

MY KEYS UNLOCK MORE THAN MUSIC I have occupied an important place at G. H. S, for a long whUe, My home la oil t'ue plaiiorui in the music room, and many have been my pleasures here. I have appreciated the touch of sure fingered pianists and have responded to their loving caress and given to them y best tones. 1 have been played to death while a zz queen entertained the gang at lunch time, or as the uecoinpaniment Idle many light hearts and feet trippetl the light fantastic.
