X 'Christian Americanism' Subject Of Chapel Talk Exercises Held Under Auspices of the Hi-Y Club, Nimrod Glascock, Chairman The first chapel exercises to be held under direction of a member of the student body took place in the study hall November 24. Nimrod Glascock, as a representative of the Hi-Y Club, was in charge, Rudolph Walborn read the Scripture lesson, and Mr. Tucker of the Y. M. C. A., prayed. After several announcements Glascock in troduced the speaker of the day, Mr. Baldwin Gauss. "I feel honored for two reasons in being asked to talk here today," he said. "First because Raleigh High School is looked up to by every other high school in the State, and second, because I am here under the auspices of the Hi-Y Club, a club that stands for high ideas and ideals. "1 wish to direct your attention to the Constitution of the United States, the supreme law and power of the nation. In the constitution are placed the ideals for. which millions died in the recent World War. Welsh gave to America the slogan: "Fight to make America free for democracy!' America has risen to heights un achieved by other nations of the world, the heights of democracy. It should be our ideal to maintain this democracy and to keep America from returning to the depths of Auto cracy." The main point of his talk was the fraudulent lawlessness of today. "Every citizen has the right to ob ject to laws, but no one has the right to defy any of America's laws. As the Constitution is the supreme law of the United States, we should all try to obey it to the minutest de tail!" The singing as usual, was in charge of Mr. Potter.

LEWIS SOCIETY MEETING The Lewis Literary Society met on Thursday afternoon at three-fifteen at the Senior High School. The program consisted of a debate, "Re solved, that war should be outlawed," a declamation by Williford William son, and jokes by Albert Stanbury. In the debate, the negative side, upheld by Rudolph Walborne and John Henry Highsmith, triumphed over the affirmative, supported by Robert Simms and W. M. Upchurch, in a spirted contest in which many excellent points were made. The declamation, "The Importance of Lit tle Things," was much enjoyed as were the jokes. All boys are cordially invited to attend the next meeting on Decem ber 4th. J. H. H., Jr. CHRISTMAS HOLIDAYS To All of the Principals: After considering the matter care fully I believe that we will have our Christmas holidays begin Satur day, December 20, and close on Mon day, December 29, school being re sumed on Tuesday, December 30. This means, of course, that no teach ers are to be dismissed from school before the close of the day's work on December 19, and that they shall report for duty again on the morning of December 30 at 8:30 o'clock. I am of the opinion that December 19 should be strictly a school day and that the teachers refrain from expecting to leave on some early train on the afternoon of ( the 19th. Several different dates have been con sidered and the time decided upon may not suit each individual case. However, in order to get in 180 days before the first of June, counting all holidays, it will be necessary to start school the week of December 30. Please make this announcement to your teachers as early as possible in order that they may make their plans accordingly. Yours respectfully, H. F. SRYGLEY, Superintendent. NORTH CAROUNA'S UMttM ALMOST GOBI Wonderful Opportunity Animal Life Neglected; Dr. Wells Urges Teachers to Take Up Nature Study Dramatic Association Presents Bill Of Plays There Were No Principal Parts, But Every Character Was Well Presented The High School Dramatic Asso ciation presented its first bill of one act plays last Friday night, Novem ber 23, at the new Wiley School auditorium. They were "Where But in America," by Oscar M. Wolfe, "Moonshine," by Arthur Hopkins and "The Wonder Hat," by Ben Hecht. The costuming, direction and man agement of the plays were done by the directors of the different groups of the association under the supervi sion of the dramatic coach. The cast' was as follows: "Where But In America" Mrs. Espenhayne, Mary Alice Hard ing. Mr. Espenhayne, Rudolph borne. Hilda, Esther Hoffmeister. "Moonshine" Luke, Robert Dunnaway. Revenuer, Mortimer Forest. "The Wonder Hat" - Columbine, Do"rothy Evans. Margot, Melissa Browne. Wal- Harlequin, Talmage Peele. Pierot, Arthur Bridgers. Punchenello, Charles Hicks. After the presentation at Wiley School, the last, "The Wonder Hat," was given at the faculty reception at State College. There were no principal parts in any play, as one character was equal ly as important as the others. Every part was very well done. The proceeds of the entertainment will go toward publishing the "Pur ple and Gold." F. C. T REV. DR. STANBURY CONDUCTS EXERCISES Rev. Stanbury conducted the Junior High School exercises on Wed nesday, the nineteenth. Owing to the lack of heat in the building the exercises were necessarily short. Rev. Stanbury read the story of the talents from the twenty-fifth chapter of St. Matthews and advised us to use our opportunities for education now. He expressed his regret that the building was not heated and promised that the building would be heated next Wednesday. LAWS IN THE MAKING Friday, November 21, the Journal ism Class was privileged to have Mr Henry M. London, well known Ra leigh citizen, talk to them. Mr. Lon don who is a leading citizen of the town, told of the various processes through which a bill must pass through before it becomes a law In the North Carolina State Legislature This part of his talk was very in teresting and educational and will be beneficial when the Journalism Class visits the sessions of the coming Legislature. He then went to a dis cussion of North Carolina's good road system and the way they are financed after which he gave a very interesting digest of his trip to Europe last sum mer. Altogether Mr. London's talk was exceedingly Interesting. The talk greatly appreciated and another talk by Mr. London will be looked for ward to. R. W. "The world is a comedy to those who think a tragedy to those who feel." Tanner. BEGGING IN STATE for Study of Plants and North Carolina's vast laboratory is actually going almost begging as far as the graded school children are concerned, said Dr. B. W, Wells in an address made before the Murphy Parent-Teachers Association last Fri day evening. North Carolina is won derful in so many ways but particu larly wonderful for its vegetation of so many kinds furnishing material to the student of science for wonderful study of nature, And this study of plant life and growth ought to be made an important part of the work of the schools. He used slides to illustrate his de scription of the plant life of the State and described the many types of vegetation in North Carolina. Before Dr. Wells' talk the associa tion heard Mrs. B. F. Handy's re port of the State Parent-Teachers meeting held in Durham recently. Mrs. Handy is president of the Ra leigh Council of Parent-Teachers. The report of Mrs. Wray White, delegate for the Murphey association was also read. Miss Conn, principal of Mur phy School, told of the meeting. The time for the meeting of the Murphy Parent-Teachers Association was changed to the third Monday in the month, and the hour was made three-thirty. A large number of mothers were present .and 3irs,.jrhoma8' room woo the prize a bowl of gold fishy to be' kept in her room for a month, v STATE ENTOMOLOGIST SPEAKS TO SCIENCE CLUB On Tuesday evening, November 18, the Science Club was most delight fully entertained by a program deal ing with insects. Mr. Sherman, the State Entomolo gist, addressed the club on the Source of a Young Entomologist." He said that every student who is interested in this phase of study should collect as many as possible of the five thousand species of insects found in North Carolina. Mr. Sher man suggested that a young entomol ogist should start his work with but terflies or grasshoppers, as these groups are both very interesting and comparatively easy. Mary Brown gave a clever little talk on "Social Insects." Madge Bridgman discussed "Silk Worms and Ants." These talks were thor oughly enjoyed by everyone. Dr. Wells commented very favorably on the papers of these members and then told an interesting story of the work done by a certain kind of ant in South America. After the business of the club was discussed the meeting was adjourned. Thelma Swisher. ALUMNI NEWS The school should feel very proud to hear that one of the graduates of the '24 class of the Raleigh High School, Henry Rogers, has made the debating team at State College this year. This is quite an honor to the school as there are only two on the debating team and the other of these two, R. J. Peeler, is a Junior. Another interesting item is that Ralph Brimley, another graduate of the '24 class, has been elected cap tain of the Freshman track team. OMITTED FROM SENIOR CLASH HONOR IIOLL The name of Albert Stanbury was accldently omitted from the honor roll of the Senior High School last week. He is in Miss McClees' room.
