Wesco Plan Is Being Used By Staff For The Oak Leaf Many people have been wondering what the much discussed "Wesco Plan" is. Some of us only know that It is a plan to make money for the annual, which is published by the Senior Class of Hugh Morson High School, but otherwise we do not know Its origin or its merits. It Is well, therefore, that we take time and space to explain this system to the student body. The "Wesco Plan" Is a plan that has never been tried In this high school, or, In fact, never before In Raleigh. It Is a plan in which everybody is bene fited. A certain number of merchants pay a certain amount of money (in this case $30) to have their names printed on a book. One merchant Is selected from the many merchants In his line, so that the one who is printed on the small book is benefited. This avoids competition. The books are then distributed among the students, every student receiving one, A big prize Is then offered to the student who trades most with these firms whose names are printed on the book. Tun prizes are offered, so that everybody will have a good cham-e to win. The first five prizes are money, from $25 to $5. The next five prizes are annuals. A free one is given the last five who trade most with thse merchants. Everybody wins! When you make a purchase with one of the merchants listed on the bark of your book, you simply ask the clerk ti " : :.V 'A i ' ' - h V DR. A. HENDERSON 1 DELIVERS ADDRESS Joan of Arc Subject of Dr. Hen- derson's Talk at Sir Wal ter Hotel Doctor Archibald Henderson, of the University of North Carolina, spoke to thei, Literary Department of the Wo man's Club Thursday afternoon at 3:30 in the Manteo Room of the Sir Walter Hotel. His subject was "Joan of; Arc."-. Doctor Henderson spoke of the numerous books written about her. He gave Schiller's Conception of Joan of Arc. Then he spoke of Di&Junyfrau. He told what Mark Twain thought of Joan of Arc. Anatole France's two vqlume conception of Joan of Arc also had. its' place in Doctor Henderson's leeture' Then he discussed Joseph Delteirs opinion of this feminine character ' in history. He discussed Voltaire's-"Lb Queele" as a distortion 9t&WJX&,JiVjiyt -not a real representation of her place in history. Lastly he discussed George Bernard Shaw's estimate of her in his play, "St. Joan." He said that Mr. Shaw wrote about her as seen from the point of view of an Englishman. He said that "St. Joan" was the best drama that had been written in the English language since Shakespeare. There was a very large attendance at this lecture. Mrs. Covington's 9th period Creative English class attended, having a special invitation from the literature department of the Woman's Club. CODE OF ETHICS DRAWN UP FOR HUGH MORSON HI The Raleigh Student should spon sor and follow the principles used in the "Come Clean" campaign clean speech, clean scholarship, clean ath letics, and contagious Christion charac ter, i.e., The Raleigh Stude.t should help such campaigns by editorials, etc., and follow these principles as far as possible. record the amount purchased in your book. The clerk will gladly do this, as it means a great deal to him, as does the purchase to you. Every little bit counts In the long run, and means a little more in the chance for yon to win, the prize, and a dollar in the com pany's favor. Boost your town! How many of us buy at other department stores bi'sidcs Etlrd's, when the same goods can b" purchased there for the same price? How many buy drinks at other stores than Brantley's? Wliy not buy there and get the credit in your book? Why not let Denmark take your picture and get it as cheap, If not cheaper, than any other photographer in Raleigh, and get the credit? Let Motor Service do your auto work; they satisfy and employ experienced mechnnlca Let Raleigh French Dry Cleaning Company do your work; they were kind to your school and advertised. Buy your furniture 'rom Goodwin & Smith. Thy are also on the book. There are oth ers on the book also. Get one right away If you do not have one. They will be gladly given to you by any member of the staff. Juniors, this plan means your an nual next year. If the Seniors this year fail, then It means you muHt dig up another way to moke your money. Think about this and help raise the spirit of boosting. Seniors, It Is your annual. Help make it the best ever. Sophomores, remember you will be Juniors and Seniors some day. Winners Chosen For Triangular Debating Team The winners to represent the Hugh Morson High School in the annual tri angular debating team were chosen Wednesday afternoon. Those chosen afe: Eugene Spivey and Nat Hey ward for the affirmative side, and Willis Stevens and Dewanner Staliings for the negative. Nat Heyward, who is a native of our high school, small but active in his speaking, will be a great help in bring ing the silver loving cup to old H. M. H. S. Eugene Spivey, better known to the students of High School as "Cicero," will be certain of delivering a speech in the finals which will win honor for Raleigh High School. Dewanner Staliings, another "old timer of our clear alma mater," loves to speak a "little," and will prove in April that he loves to speak a lot. Willis Stevens, our dear old "Lolly Pop," who's last residence was located in the swell town of Smithfield, will, as usual, uphold his teaching that he received in Smithfield "never to be de feated," but "to take defeat like a' man." The query for debate this year is "Resolved, That Congress should en act the McNary-Haugen farm relief bill. A greater number of partici pants took part in the "try-outs" this year than ever before, totaling nine in number. The speeches that were de livered caused considerable discussion and confusion among the judges in de ciding the winners of the debate. Those taking part were George Rid dle, Burdette Mayne, Gene Hughes, John Branham, Betsy Parker, and the winners. Alvin Kaplan officiated in the posi tion of chairman of the day and con ducted the debate as an experienced presider of a political meeting. Those who offered their services as judges were Miss Simms, Miss Connor, and Mrs. Couch. PARENT-TEACHERS HOLD JAN. MEETING Boys' Glee Club Render Songs; Mrs. T. V.
