PACE TWO THE FRANKLIN TRESS FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 23, 1323. FRANKLIN HIGH SCHOOL NEWS Furnished by Lanier Literary Society Editorial. A goal is defined as a point aimed at in a rce; or, stated more briefly a purpose. Each society has "pur posed in it's heart" to win the ban quet at the end of school. In other words, the banquet is the goal that looms ahead of the societies. Butir order to win, or to reach the point at which we are, aiming, we must work, putting our whole, soul into our task. And unless we work to 'gether, we cannot do this, for every member must work whole-heartedly to make a strong society; he must do his best for the cause, which is, in this' case, the winning of the ban quet. i Another goal that we have in view now, is that of making the honor roll A common remark at the end of last month was, "If it hadn't been for that B on English (or some other subject), I would have been on the honor roll." But one B will keep its holder from reaching the goal Therefore we must make every. sub- ject count. 'wmm This principle applies in everything we undertake: "A chain 1s as stronf as its weakest link." ' . ' . u i. s ' ' Joke. . "I'm a silent man," said Bill to Jack, "My words are very few."

"OBA LOUISE GRAYSON, ' In spite of caressing brown bobbed hair and starry blue eyes, found herself at twenty-five a full-fledged doctor of medicine, working In the clinic of the Children's hospital. Somehow, worn, anxious mothers looked at her with so much trust and so much confidence, she wondered how It had all come about. Sometimes she doubted her own powers of endurance to go on. Talmadge Scott, after several false Btarts and several years of business, at thirty found himself In possession of his 'degree of doctor of medicine. He wondered sometimes how It had ever occurred to him that he could possibly be anything else besides a doctor. For several weeks Doctor Scott had been stopping every day at the Chil dren's' hospital to speakt to Doctor Grayson, who received her. little pa tients In the room right across the corridor from the small operating room where ' he worked two hours every morning. In nil his life he had never ' known a i woman doctor be fore; he tried to , Imagine, bat could not con- . elude, what sort . of person she must be. , "Clinic is closed tomorrow," he re marked the Wed nesday before Thanksgiving."

It may be a myth all this business about .Thanksgivingbut I like It." So they feasted leisurely and hap pily together. Later there were ex planations. I was going to ask you to dlno with me," said Talmadge Scott.- "lint when I bcg:rt to talk about It you seemed to pooh pooh the' Idea of Thanksgiving din ners" "And I'd made up my mind to ask you to come and. have dinner In my llttie apart ment wirh !ce. I was so anxious to cook it. But you said noroething about thf Thanks giving myth, so I didn't" It was after din ner together that Dora asked Doc tor Scott to her little apartment, where theytalked before tb cheerful glow of the open fire in her Ilivnjr room. "I've always wondered Just vhy a girl like you studied medidner he ventured to begin. 4 "I've wondered, too," said Dora. "Jl all seemed so wonderful ami v y in medical college. But now I'm prac ticing by myself, I wonder, too- -" "It seemed," Talmadge went on, as if you were the sort of girl the sort of girl that would want to marry that just' couldn't escape marriase" "But I never wanted to marry any one but a doctor" she began, and then stopped In confusion. Atod this gave Talmadge Scott the cue for his first and last proposal. suppose you friends." "Thanksgiving dinner?" she queried. "I am afraid I don't feel In a very thankful mood. , I'm thousands of miles from home. Do you still believe in turkey and cranberry sauce and pumpkin pie?". 1 ' "It's a pretty myth," lie said. If Dora had been a keen observer she might have noticed that a look of disappointment passed over Tal madge Scott's face, and if he had been a mind reader he might have been aware of . her own disappointment. Not being so gifted they parted with brief farewell. Talmadge Scott knew where Dora Grayson lived. All. Thanksgiving day he thought of her, In spite of efforts to put her out of his mind. ' Several times he found excuse to pass her apartment. At half-past six, as he felt for, the first time since breakfast the need of food, he again walked by her house. It was then that he was re warded for ail his diligent jvaiting, for Dr. Dora Louise Grayson Just then came out of the door of the apartment house. "Are you going to .dinner?" he asked, and ' Dora admitted that she was going out In search of something to eat "But yon don't care about the, old, traditional Thanksgiving feast?" she queried, "It's funny how people have clung to the tradition." ' "Isn't it?" he said, and then, "As we both seem to be going out in search of nourishment, what do you say to combining forces?" Ten minutes later they were seated opposite each other in a white-tiled eating establishment Dora had de clined Tulmadge's. invitation to go to a more expensive place. !"A salad Is all I want,"; said Dora. From a tray being borne past them came whiffs of aromatic turkey and stuffing, that ... somehow ... made . Tal madge's .mouth "water. Yet he said, looking v Instantly at Dora, "Yes, salad arid tea. I think that's what shall have, tQoJ":''; !" So they supped together, and some how as they ate Dora felt a funny sobbing sensation as of intense home sickness and disappointment, and Tal madge felt a curious sort, of melar choly. After It was over-, and Talmadge had paid the insignificant check, they went together as far as the corner and there Dora left him. Thirty . minutes later Talmadge Scott, after some irresolution, entered the restaurant of tlw Sterling hotel He allowed the-head waiter , to lead hiii in ceremony to a table near babbling fountain, lie was about to order and in search of such delicaclei as turkey, cranberry sauce and pump kin pie when he noticed that the girl at the table beside him wore a hat like Dora Grayson's. 'Why, it was Dora Grayson I And before her there "was a small platter of steaming turkey. sweet potatoes, cranberry sauce 1915 MAC DOWELL CLUB The regular meeting of the Music Club was called to order Wednesday November 11, in the home of Mrs Lee Crawford. i The subject of ' the program war Old English Music.
