‘HIGH” LIFE, NOVEMBER 30, 1920. PAGE THREE SCHOLARSHIP STANDINGS In the contest for the Scholarship Shield at the High School, which is awarded at the end of the month to the class making the highest score, it was again captured by Room lt3, taught by Mr. Edwards. This room also shows a decided improve ment in the work over last month. In Sep tember the percentage of failures was 20 per cent, whereas this mouth the failures have dropped to 11.47 per cent, being a de crease of 8.53 per cent. In the Annex, Room 5, taught by Miss Grogan, captured the Shield again this month. Although winner this month, their percentage of failures was higher than that of the month of September. For Sep tember it was 11.76 per cent and for the month of October 18.75 per cent. TO THE STUDENT BODY The student body does not realize that the existence of our school magazine de pends upon its co-operation with the staff. The purpose of the “Student” is to record school notes, to develop school spirit and to provide entertaining and interesting reading matter in form of jokes, poems, and stories. The staff can provide no read ing matter, record no school nptes, or pub lish a magazine to stimulate school spirit without your hearty support. We want each one of you to feel that the success of “The Student” depends upon you. It is essential that each student in this school give his idividual support to our magazine ifit is to succeed. Send in contributions iiii form of stories, poems and jokes—and subscribe. Do not depend upon reading some one else’s magazine.—The Student, Portsmouth, Va. HOW ABOUT IT, GIRLS? Where the pretty girl who edits the Louisville Lyre got the idea is not known when she said: ‘ ‘ The greatest surprise to Ihe girl who gets kissed for the first time is that there is no taste to it.” However, an old batehelor in the western part of the state roars back: “No taste to it? By the great hen feather in Cupid’s dart, the girl must be color-blind in the palate. They tell us, those who have tried it.—we haven:’t—that it tastes like double distilled essence of honey spread on pump kin pie. Anyway, back in the dim joyful years of long ago, before we lost our teeth and our cinch on the beauty prize, the pret tiest girl in all the world told us that it felt like a covey of frightened quail flying out of each ear and ended with a sensa tion; similar to that which might be pro duced by a flock of angels pouring a golden stream of molasses down one’s back. No ta.ste to a first kiss! Great Scott! It would make a wooden Indian’s hair curl.” The question is, if the Lyre speaks from (xperience, what kind of a galoot was it who gave her that counterfeit kiss?—Ex change. MUSIC! MUSIC! MUSIC! The w'orld is set to music, is it? Well, G. H. S. is in tune with the world, isn’t it? Sing, brother! A new leader has come into the Boys’ Glee Club, and they say the club is to “set the wild echoes singing” soon. This new leader is Mr. Boyst, a most wel come and efficfient leader. Little Lydia had been given a ring as a Christmas present, but much to her disap- pointinent, not a guest at dinner noticed it. Finally, unable to withstand their ob trusiveness or indifference, she exclaimed: “Oh, dear, I’m so warm in my new ring!” DELEGATES GO TO STATE TEACHERS’ ASSEMBLY G. H. S.

TARDINESS “A dillar, a dollar, a ten o’clock scholar, What makes you come so soon? You used to come at ten o’clock And now you come at noon.” If some of us don’t “watch our step one of these times a teacher is going to spring that upon us. We should make it our aim to remedy this tardiness. Remem ber our school and Alma Mater should set the example for all others in our city, so let us hit the goal now. Spirit, .spirit, spirit! We’ve shown it in everything else, now we must show it by stopping these tardy pupils. Just make up our minds we shall never be tardy and every time the other fellow is—shame him. If we are tardy now we shall be tardy in our later life, because if we don’t get out of the habit it may stay with us, and punc tuality is one of the keynotes to success in our domestic, social and business life.— Barton News. Little seven-year-old Mary was having her first visit to a large city and being en tertained at a hotel dinner by their adored grown-up brother. Her eyes were round as saucers, and though full of joyful ex citement, she was endeavoring in all ways to conduct herself so the young man would be proud of her. The attendant waiter noticing that the brevity of the little girl’s legs left her feet uncomfortably far from the floor, bent towards her and solcitously asked: “Would the little miss like a hassock?” Perplexed Mary struggled in her confu sion to give a fitting reply. Finally, Thank you, not at all, sir, “I’ll eat what ever my brother orders.” HILL’S Bij ou Theatre HOME OF HY-CLASS PHOTOPLAYS AND GOOD MUSIC Orchestra under direction PROP.

Summer has lost her charms; The pumpkins, apples and corn are Now safely stored in the barns. The mellow sun-rays filter down, And with tliem comes a haze Which fills us with the thoughts Of early autumn days. October comes—her breath is chill. But she is so gaily dressed In red and yellow, brown and gold. We almost like her best. Her days were short, her nights were long. And Jack Frost is her closest friend, And the mischief that one imp does Is almost without end. —Elva Yeattes.
