AMERICA!
. A most interesting as well as his
torical play was shown at the Almo
Theatre Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday,
Thursday and Friday.
In this play can be seen the ride of
Paul Revere, Morgan's Riflemen and,
in fact, almost everything in the his
tory of our forefathers.
This picture was directed by the
world-famous director, D. W. Griffith.
It ia indeed interesting to old as well
as young people. It brings back to
our memory the bravery of our fore
fathers. Over one million dollarsVas
spent for the production of this pic
ture, and it seems to have been a great
success. It is titled "America."
DIFFERENCE BETWWEN
JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL
AND THE SENIOR HIGH
The buildings of both the Junior
High School and the Senior High
School are poorly equipped for suc
cessful work, but both schools are look
ing forward to new buildings in the
near future where everything will be
carried on in more perfect order. At
the Junior High there are larger
grounds where the children may walk
around and exercise themselves in the
limits of the school, while on the other
hand at the Senior High there is a
small back yard and the street. The
pupils, therefore, are Quite unfortu
nate. At Junior High there is a gym
nasium where the girls are trained
under Miss Dorothy Nash, but at the
Senior High the girls and boys have
to go to the Y. M. C. A. for classes.
These pupils are taught by Miss Lamb
and Mr. Wood.
The courses of study of the schools
are different. At Junior High only
seventh- and eighth-grade pupils are
taught. There are no Domestic
Science and Industrial Arts classes
On the other hand, ninth, tenth, and
eleventh-grade pupils are taught at
Senior High. Here, too, are Domestic
Science classe. There are only four
subjects taught at Junior High, while
there are five at Senior High, omitting
gymnasium and Glee Club classes.
The periods are one hour in length
at Junior High. Thirty minutes of
each period are used for lesson dis
cussion, and the remaining thirty are
used for study. They are only five
hour-periods. On the contrary, the
length of the periods at Senior High
is forty-five minutes, which is used for
lesson discussion.
The attitude of pupils in their loy
alty toward the different activities is
almost the same. The attitude of the
pupils toward their lessons, however,
is quite different, for the Senior High
students are more serious. They
realize that this is probably their last
opportunity to learn. While the
Junior High students prepare their
lessons, they are rather care-free and
do not feel as "grown up" as Senior
High students. 1
ELOISE BANNING.
Death of Miss Lea's Father
The students of the Senior High
School regret very much to hear of the
death of Miss Ruby K. Lea'i father.
Miss Lea was formerly head of the
Commercial Department of the Raleigh
High School.
The Commercial glass extend their
heartfelt sympathy to Miss Lea in her
bereavement.
LIBRARY FACILITIES
AND REGULATIONS
The libraries of Raleigh, both the
Olivia Raney and the State, have cer
tain facilities and regulations by which
they are run.
The Olivia Raney Library is the
public library. It contains all kinds
of books from reference books to
novels. The books are classified and
then catalogued according to authors.
This is a great aid to the book readers
of Raleigh. Another help is the card
index. In this one can look up the
book he wants and see by whom it was
written, and so be able to find the
book with ease.
The books that may be taken out of
the Olivia Raney Library are divided
into two classes: the seven-day books
and the two-weeks books. If they are
kept out over this time a fine of two
cents a day must be paid until they are
returned.
The State Library is for reference
entirely. Any one who wants to may
use the books, but government em
ployees only are allowed to take books
out..-'
Quiet, above all things, must be ob
served in both libraries. -
Both libraries prove a great help to
the students of Raleigh High School.
Each day after school pupils can be
seen in the reading rooms, looking
up references for their school work.

A SUGGESTED BOOK LIST
FOR SOPHOMORE READING
Reading for any one should be of
different types, as one kind becomes
monotonous. The books that one
reads should include fiction both
humorous and serious, biography,
science, drama, and poetry.
Fiction should include (serious) :
David Copperfield" by Dickens.
"Tale of Two Cities" by Dickens.
"Uncle Tom's Cabin" by Harriet B.
Stowe. -
(Humorous) :
Speaking of Operations" by Irvin S.
Cobb.
V'Tom Sawyer" by Mark Twain.
"Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry
Finn" by Mark Twain.
Of the biographical group the fol
lowing are interesting:
"The Americanization of Edward
Bok" by Edward Bok.
."Twenty Years of Hull House" by
.Addams.
Some interesting scientific books
are:
"Field and Study" by Burroughs.
"Book of Insects" by Tabre.
Drama for Sophomore reading
should include:
"Twelfth Night" by Shakespeare.
"Taming of the Shrew" by Shake
speare.
The poems of Robert Louis Steven
son and James Whitcomb Riley are
very interesting.
The reading should not be too deep,
but should be of a type to cultivate a
taste for really worth-while books, in
stead of the "dashing hero and his
young sweetheart" kind.
ALBERT STANBURY.
CLASS TEAM WORK
Let's make this year's Sophomore
Class the best Raleigh High ever had J
How? By team work. Lets all get
together and do our best.
If a few of us try to improve the
class, it does little good; we need to
work together, to co-operate, or we'll
never get anything accomplished.
One illustration of this is keeping
schoolrooms clean. If a few of us pick
up paper in a room and the class that
comes next strews the floor again, we
have not accomplished our purpose.
But if all the Sophomore classes unite
and try to dit together, why, we'll
show the other classes what we can do.
A group can accomplish ten times
as much as an individual can. It takes
gorups to make cities where one per
son or a few could not; so the same
thing applies to the classes. There is
more force to a group and more
opinions.
We must try hard! If we put our
selves fully to the task' of making our
class best It becomes a pleasure. Have
true class spirit and uphold your class
in everything.
We must get together, talk it over,
and do all we can to help. If we cultl
vate thoughtfulnesB, neatness, and
class spirit, we will be helping the
class as a whole.
How about it? Every one think It
over a while and see how you feel
about it. One thing is certain: we've
got to have the proper class team work
to make our class stand out ahead of
the others. So get to work, class
mates, and see what we can do!
LEWIS LITERARY SOCIETY
.The Lewis Literary Society was or
ganized about ten years ago. Its pur
pose is to secure better knowledge of
literary matters and to bring about
better feeling of friendship among all
the boys in school. It has been more
or less successful. The membership
varied from time to time.
The society meets every other
Thursday, which is set apart as so
ciety day. At each meeting there is a
program carried out. This program
varies, ranging from debates and ex
temporaneous speeches to more diffi
cult subjects.
Several years ago a series of inter
society debates was held in chapel.
Similar contests will probably be held
this coming year. The society fur
nishes members for the triangular de
bating team.
This society is probably of more
benefit than any other organization in
school. It furnishes excellent train
ing for college and business life.
This society is open to all boys in
school. Sophomores are especially in
vited to take advantage of the oppor
tunities which this organization offers
them. '.
The Sophomores of today will be the
Seniors of tomorrowand for this rea
son they should take part in anything
which will help them out in the fol
lowing years. JAMES MORGAN.
THE HONOR SOCIETY
The first scholarship honor society
for secondary schools was formed in
1900 by Dr. William B. Owen, of the
Chicago Normal College.
This new society has done for the
high schools what Phi Beta Kappa is
doing and has done for the colleges.
In 1917, at the suggestion of the super
intendent of schools of Los Angeles,
California, the best ten per cent of
pupils who ranked highest in all of
their studios was chosen to become
members. It was also suggested that
each honor society unite and keep in
close correspondence with the others.
The idea spread rapidly, and honor
societies started all .over the country.
The Honor Society is at present a
national organization. The headquar
ters are at Washington, and a com
mittee is in charge. Local schools of
credit may be allowed to petition for
a charter of membership if the investi
gation of conditions at that school
warrants it. The charter is then
granted by the committee, provided it
is favorably impressed. After the
local institution receives permission,
it is recognized as a division of the
National Honor Society.

own set of rules for governing minor
divisions, but each' local chapter has
its own constitution. In fact, a chap
ter is not recognized until its consti
tution has been approved.
An interesting feature in this society
is that pins may be worn by those
elected to membership. These pins
are alike all over the United States
and are recognized by other members
of the Honor Society and also other
honor organizations.
Those who receive the pins must
comply with certain rules. A candi
date must have attended that particu
lar school the year before his senior
year, and must have had no more than
one failure against him in his high
school career. Then his grades must
place him in the upper quarter of the
class. Then, in order to be elected to
membership, he must be selected as
one of the candidates composing the
fifteen per cent of the twenty-five per
cent. The faculty of the school select
this fifteen per cent. The candidates
are Judged according to scholarship,
worth to the school, conduct in and
around school, and general attitude.
The final fifteen per cent are recog
nized members of the National Honor
Society and may wear the pinsX
