Page Four HIGH LIFE Fehnoary 14, 1930 Club Chatter Class Matter “What tales are tattled in Club Chatter? What stories revealed in Class Matter?” History Has No Term Paper The History 8 classes are not required to have a term paper for the semester, but are going to be divided into groups of five. Each group is responsible for a paper. Each group -will write about four papers during the semester. Opera Improves The Music Department is working hard on the opera. “The Yeoman of the Guard” is a very beautiful opera and has a good number of solo leaders. The Glee Club is practicing the chorus and preparing the solo parts. Students Take Latin A large number of Semester 8 stu dents are taking elective Latin. Cicero and Virgil are the elective Latin courses. Teachers Are Sick Mrs. J. H. Johnson has been subbing for Miss Laura Tillett during her ill ness. Miss Vera Pike has also been sick. Teachers Blush Have you ever noticed how befuddled some of these teachers become when they let something slip “between the cup and the lip.” It’s a fact. Watch one the next time it happens. You’ll'be surprised. Live-at-Home Miss Grogan’s session room celebrated ‘Tjive-at-Home Week” last Tuesday. After the clowns of the room, Mr. Sloan, Mr. Hunt, and Mr. Davis, were subdued, there ensued a very heated discussion, supposedly on “the cow,” "but taking a turn toward crime, welfare, the school, and the like, everything stopped when the bell rang, however. Boom 106 celebrated Live-at-Home Week by listening to a lengthy pam phlet advising every one to raise their- own cattle and pork. And most every one went to sleep, despite the obvious excellence of the pamphlet. Torchlight Waits “Another roll ? Some coffee?” Red hearts—white aprons—fillets of red and white. How those Torchlight members did WAIT ON Welfare Ban quet folk on Tuesday, February 11! Thanks to John Lindeman’s moran-ness, Torchlight students discovered why Mr. Phillips and Miss Mitchell selected them as waiters. In a book, (he forgot the name). This is it: A Boston hotel gives intelligence test; if the mind of any one taking the test is above that of a very young child and the grade more than about sixty, he is given a job under no conditions. It takes a DUMB NUMB SKULL to become a waiter. Behold the Torchlight Society! JUNIOR CLASS HAS FIRST SEMESTER MEET “We held our first semester 0 meet ing on February (>,” snid Higdon Dees, jiresident of the junior class, when in terviewed. Members of the class suggested and are suggesting plans for the Junior- Senior social at which time this class will entertain June graduates. Several jdans were discussed, but no definite conclusion was reached. Higdon appointed committees to see J. II. Johnson about the social, select ing Anna Wills, Madeline Wilhelm, and John Gunter for cliairmen of tliese groups. ^ / We all know that as the human body can be nourished on any food, though it were boiled grass and the broth of shoes, so the human mind can be fed by any Itnowledge. And great and heroic men have existed who had almost no other information than by the printed page. I only say that it needs a strong head to bear that diet. One must be an inventor to read well. There is then creative reading as well as cre ative writing. Thus books impart their share of the barrel of vim. COMMITTEE PLANS CHAPEL PROGRAMS FOR EACH FRIDAY Miss Lily Walker, Teacher of Match, is Chairman of This Group. CLUBS FEATURE SEVERAL Senior Hi-Y Organization Is in Charge of Chapel for Monday of Next Week. The lumber is here! The tools are bought! Mr. Johnson has cried, “All hands on deck!” Shelby Fitzgerald is at the wheel, and we all sail forth in our first adventure of scenery building. Yes sir! Honestly, that much-talked-of scenery that “was”^ going to be built, is actually going under construtcion. Peek-a-Boo Well, we (the play production class) are way up there in Mr. Miller’s glee club room now. This is much to our advantage because now we stage as pirants can pantomime and not be gazed at by straggling students who no doubt “wonder why.” Buried Treasure I/ast Friday we ‘(held) forth’’ in chapel and dsiplayed various dramatic talent upon the stage in the form of pantomimes. I’m afraid if we have talent, it is buried. So, boys, here’s the old “shovel hong”—dig it up! dig it up ! dig it up! Marvelous to Say— I got a word wdth a Golden Masquer the other day, and he hinted that Mr. Johnson certainly had an initiation brewing that would give ’em plenty of excitement. So be patient you dear neophytes, your day is coming. By the way, fellows, let’s make that organization before we leave this old school. I've already been promised a part by our director in the next play; yes, the leading role—I’m supposed to lead a donkey across the stage in the third act. Laugh, will you? Well I’ll bet you couldn’t do it with as much grace and poise as I'm going to—now suh! “No matter how small the job, do it big,” is one requisite thing for membership in the Gold.en Masquers. Stage Fright I've never seen a bunch of pupils so scared, as tliis good old Dramatic class, and you can 'look around you and see all the boys and girls try and hide flieir faces behind each other, so they can abstruct the view of our dear old teacher. Mr. Johnson is calling on peo ple to do pantomimes, and as he scans over poor little us, with those searching eyes of his; our natural instinct is to try and vanish from his sight. And Those That Got Over It At the Dramatic club meeting Thurs day, some of the .old experienced ones, showed us how a pantomime was sup posed to be done, but it didn’t seem to us much good, because when we get on the stage and try to express our feeling with our faces, it just seems that all our facial muscles have sud denly become stiff.” You probably wonder why we should get all heated up, and scared over a little think like a pantomime, but how would you like to be a nice sized girl, and Mr. Johnson calls on you and says, “Imitate a big old clumsy fat woman trying to get on a street car, and every time you try to get through the door, you stuck in the door with some poor innocent victim,” or worse still, if you are a boy, and he tells you to imitate a young man who has just lc«t his beau tiful bride by a very serious operation. Wliat can you do, but get up on the stage and make a big fool out of your self, but I’ll tell you one thing, there is something we all like to do ,and that is laugh at the poor victim who is struggling with a pantomime. And Everybody’s Happy Well, I guess I’ll sign olt now, but I will be back soon to give you some more personal information about our interesting class. In a recent meeting of the faculty chapel program committee. Miss Lily Walker, Miss Amy Caldwell, Miss Fan nie S. Mitchell, Miss Sara Leslie, and A. P. Bouth, plans were made for chapel each Friday this semester. Junior High Schools Take Part A special program from one of the Junior high schools of the city will probably be given February 21.

GOOD CLOTHES for HIGH SCHOOL BOYS Right in Style Low in Price Long or Short Pants ' FROM UNDER THE LETTER C' I opened the dictionary one night, and from under the big letter C a dainty little word stepped out. At once I was cast under a spell by its grace and form. I could hardly visualize my feelings, for the delicate sweep of the curves was an allurement. As I gazed at the post of each little letter I did not wonder at its power to enchant me. It was exquisite delight to watch it dance in splendor before me. Suddenly I realized the fascinating little word was Charm. Ah, how I longed to possess it!
