Elisabeth Polston Sport* Tom Powell Society Katherine Faulkner Jokes Frieda Hayes Clara news Mildred Poythreas Alumnae news Margaret Bunn Miscellaneous .. Elizab.-:h Singleton Olive Hight Soonsor Miss Maxine Taylor The world ia now going through a very tense ard cr.tical period. Times now are being compared with the times before the outbreak of the World War in 1914 and It seems that there is just as much of a possibility of a war now as there was then. Events hsppenlng now should be closely ob served by high school students. We ehould try to keep In touch with the situation and especially the underly ing causes. Why should we do this? Well we)re the ones who will fight the next war and at least we want to know for what and why we are fight ing; which, by the way. is much more than thousands engaged in the World War knew. The idea of starting a war to help *»d rid of depression is foolish to say fehe least. All wars are fought on credit and though they may bring temporary relief they make things worse afterwards. It’ll take ub until M 32 to pay off the last war debt— why add more? * Everyone Is 30 stirred up over the troubles in the East that they have practically forgotten the depression, perhaps this is good, at least we k*ow that when we don’t think about a thing that it doesn’t bother us. i We suppose that it is a good thing I tea* the deprei.Aion i catches us in j high school. We will have plenty of j time to study the situation and when 1 We get out we can all put our pet theories to work and lift the depres sion in no time ' We’ll have to give it to Japan. She Is certainly an arrogant fellow. So Jar. she has seized the beards of all the nMo ns who had anything to say •nd told them that if they didn't like 1 It they could lump it. We are pretty sure of the fact that Otto’s "Gym” will be of great bene fit to the high school as a whole. It will provide an excellent place for high school boys to find healthy and wholesome recreation. Indeed we are worry that it won’t be able to cater so •niiaeh to the ladies, but we hope that there will soon be a "gym” for the feminine part of the student body. If you want a good account of the plans and arrangement of the “gym’’ read “Otto's Gymnasium’’ by Tom Powell, which appears tn this issue. THE THREE MONKS *9+ see all—We hear all—We tell all At the beginning of this year there came to H. H S. a certain young tnaji who has quite a talent for dnw 4»g. We’ve had our eyes and ears centered on this young man for quite W: while and he had better watch, be gguce The Three Monks do not set traps In vain. In fact, it was only last week that we heard something that would have made this young man think that we had been reading his mail. We are not going to print any thing this time because as we have •aid )»cfore he is new and we believe In being fair and we don’t Strike with out warning. From now on though, we will take no mercy. Young Man. If you believe in signs then you be lieve that the depression is over. ! Everyone In H. H. S. must have felt i that It was his duty to enlighten hia ' fellow man on the fact that the high tchool Ins had the partition that di vides our once great Study Hall. •(Minted. Yes it is really painted and If you don’t believe us look for your- | self Our philosophers, and there are manv of them think that the toot that | H. H. S. has bought some new paint ****** to be coupled with the fact or rather the belief that the depression Is over. The Monks are sorry that the school has painted over the list of love af fairs: results of many athletic games, and the many, many, autographs of the school’s famous and well known f>aap]p. We enjoyed very much during our Idle moments in Study Hall in saad the inscriptions on the partl ■titn. Note: The following comment was handed to me late Friday night by a ywmng man Who said that he wished to have it lnsterted in the Monk column. The monk column had al wwdy been prepared so ((with apolo gies to the Three Monks) I take the liberty of adding this'to their column. The Editor. "It is to be regretted Indeed that Mira ? made such a grave er ror in the indentlty of the author of a phone call that she received late Friday night.** Bertie: You know.

Chapel Program One of the most enjoyable chapel programs of the year was a two-act play put on by Home Room 9 for the entertainment of the Freshman and Senior classes. The play was pre sented at the Freshman and Senior assembly on Thursday morning. The setting for the first act was a meet ing of the Executive Board of a small country school and the characters were: deaf old Silas, impatient Jere miah Stubbs, dignified IssabeUa Trot ter, and old maidAh Tabrtha Lump. These ports being taken by Robert Watson Marion Rogers, Blanche Walt ers. and Mary Parham. The pur pose of this meeting was to select a teacher. Dorothy Grissom as Valen cia, straight from Broadway, and Eli sabeth WOrtham as Trian Bferd wright, who speaks only in: poetry were among the applicants. Much humor was lent by the German pro fessor ((who finally got the position); this part being taken by Keneth Po lite. The second wet was a scene in a village schoolroom and this act con sisted mainly of wisecracks by the oertinent country boys and birls, who keep the audienee roaring with laughter. All the characters were .veil-suited to their parts, but the -chool will never stop talking about he German professor, Kenneth Po ite. Kenneth is so quiet that the class didn't realize that he had so much talent, for if a real German had ntered the room and eonduoted a class it couldn't have been better. The pupils, also, were alert and ready with wisecracks. Robert Watson as deaf Silas with his "That's what I say" to anything which Impatient Jeremiah Stubbs told him, made a big hit. The old maid and the dignified lady who had “traveled very extemporaneously” delighted the audience with their cos tumes and language. The whole play was enjoyed so much that it was repeated for the Juniors and Sophomores on Friday morning. Chapel Assembly The Sophomore and Junior classes of high school assembled in chapel Tuesday morning for an enjoyable period. Mr. Cobb |introduced the speaker, Dr. H. A. Ellis. Dr. Ellis chased away the rainy. day bhiee by a few jokes which everyone found de lightful. The text of Dr. Ellis's talk, however, was a verse from Job: "And the waters shall wear away the rocks.” As a literal example he gave the rocks at Niagra Falla, telling boar they, were worn by the water. He gave several moral applications, though ( stressing the wearing own of one character. Dr. Bills closed with a -prayer. Over the Alumnae Table Margaret Bunn, Editor This time, as we meet over the Alumnae Table, we wish to discuss the remainder of last year’s seniors. Some of them are staying at home, some are taking business courses, some are working out of town, and some are at college. Martha Pope, Crandall Nelson, and Mabel Neteon are staying at home this year, but planning to go in training for a nurse, the first of Sep tember. , Maria Hardee s taking a business course at the Henderson Business school. Ethel Wortham is also tak ing a business course, but she Is study ing at King’B Business College-in Ra leigh . William Johnson Is working in MeedesVilie, Pennsylvania. James Might Is taking a A. B. course at High Point Collage. James was one of H. H. S. vtar basketball and baseball players. 'William Finch was another -good player on our foot ball, basketball, and 'baseball teams. He is going to tbs University of North Carolina at Chapel «!11. We were sorry to see this dess Isave-H. H, S., but we all have to part at sometime in our lives, so Henderson High wishes you good health and a£ jßjucb thrilled with the sight as fibe was at that .moment. Indications of the city beriap flash by the windows: subuoro^t&j Senior banquet straight, but we are sure that he will succeed. The Sophomore's collected funds are in charge of Eric Flaitnigan. Eric has a reasonable and methodical way of thinking, which he showed in a discu«»on about the Slno-Japanese sit uation the other day, that is required in most any kind of a position. Eric is a good, well-behaved student who thinks before he speaks. Eric, keep on in the way you have started and you will be an important person ane of these days. The Freshmen seem to t»e the only ones who would intrust their money to a girl. Why not? A girl is just as capable as a boy. Ann Peace is their treasurer. Ann is rather onall in atoture, but that doesn’t keep her from being a sweet, lovable girl. She lie -popular, not only among the Fiesdi men but among older people as well, because she is always tbe same where ever you see her, always greeting you wtth a smile. Os course we realize that the Freshmen (unless they arc different from .any other freshman ■ etwee) will nut be bothered much wtth finances, -but Ann t it is up to you to ahow that a girl can be as good a treasurer aa a boy. The Titian League The Janitors were nominated dar ing tbe last meeting after muoh dis cussion but nothing eerlous occurred although the -members dkl some straight forward arguing. Neva Jane Wllkerson and Francis Martin were among tbe nominees. During tbe last part of the meeting, the nominees for Emperor Clerk took advantage of the opportunity to make speeches. tlons, electric trains, apartment houses, and larger buildings. Then they dashed into the subway tunnel, under the streets of the city, she knew. The train slowed gradually. The porter rushed in and out, carry ing luggage to the vestibule. Passen gers began to move toward the pas sage. where they stood tn line and peered out anxiously. To some. It was an old. old story—no thrill left for them. To a few like Marcia. It was an exciting adventure on the quest for life and happiness. Then they arrived. Marcia fol lowed the slowly moving line, and finally stepped onto the platform that was level with the vestibule of ths train —tbe usual selection of her bag gage. and trailing a red cap down ths apparently endless passage between long trains of Pullman cars. Already, the rush and noise of the city beat against her ears, as ahe waited for her turn at the long Queue of taxi cabs that edged along the curb Then she was stowed Into one with her bags, and rushing up a long winding ramp, with a sudden exit into the brilliant autumn sunshine and the jam of speeding traffic. Buildings, that towered so high she could not see their tops from the cab windows, were all around her; and there were so many taxi-cabs on all sides of her, that she wondered if it could boa taxi convention. If it were. It rnur.t be International, because there were red cabs and yellow cabs, brown cabs and white cabs, black cabs, and some that appeared to be of non descript origin. Sprinkled among their prominent majority, were scores of handsome motor cars that attracted attention by their contrast like str.artly gowned aristocrats In a shabby throng. In a body, they were whirled along, like a mighty river. Into which more small streams flowed and melto-l and from which some small, p-irt managed to escape at intervals, and wander off Into the canyon streets that reached between soaring stone walls. The power and beauty of It gripped Marcia, so that she sat rigidly on the edge of the slanting leather seat, and Jerked backward with every sudden stop at the cross ings. The motor throbbed, and the meter clicked, adding their bit to tbs noise and confusion. Arrived at ber hotel, she wert tmough the usual routine, and Anally reached the privacy of the small room that bad been assigned to her. It was surely a small part of that great city but it was enough for Marcta. Already, she felt very smn-i and - humble ■ Though sh 4 wag a .strongerto NtSeYdrip jfrgfUa. she f?a> ho CbrtgeA^nyl>ktffl|lrbotel grit*; - , and toberly JJtli his quarter tip. 7* WfO BE CONTINUED) High School Fun Frieda Hayes Editor Mother: U is rude to whisper, Johnny.
