Over :i4 yeaif experience
Miss- Gladys Foust was a member of
our faculty in 1923. I\e two sociortos
ran a close race last year, the Estheri
ans winning the cup by only one point.
We think the work of ih°-societies
is a very important part of our school
life. It is here that we learn how to
conduct a public"rttg&tinß. It is here
we learn how to stand up and express
ourselves.' Sometimes, we do not serve
so cheerfully on the program, but *'e
know that the training leceived in
ciety will be a (front"help to us. when
we leave high school.—Virginia Mines

Our'superintendent strives to make
Oi'&se assembly periods pleasant and
at the same time instructive. From
time to time different members of the
faculty give us talks on good Citi
zenship, the value of Kood health, and
other topics of vital interest to all.
We believe that "variety is the spire
