NOTES FROM
HIGH SCHOOL
The Value of Singing.
If a visitor should appear in the
high school during chapel or recrea-
tion, he surely would think that the
students were preserving their voic-
es or that their vocal organs were
very weak. Every student here has
the power to sing, so why not exer-
cise it? A good tonic for people pos-
| sessed with the blues is to sing and
to sing with spirit. Practice this and
the result will be smiles that won't
come off.
Basket Bald,
The captain and the manager of the
held a conference last
Thursday evening and have prepar-
ed a schedule for the coming season
an games are being desired with the
the foilowing teams, that of Winber,

are bright for a banner, because four |

with promising material to select from
the subs of last year.

the class of 1912 istaking the Com-
mercial course this winter,
Mr. Weaver says he does not know
| what some pupils are chewing and
he does not like to ask but expressed
a wish to be “treated accordingly.”
He likes candy, apples, pears, and oh!
! lots of things in an out of season.

‘up town to see the “latest” or “ladies”
we don’t quite understand which he
said.
The latest step in time saving is
dimissing the girls separately. There
is less inclination to loitering.
i The Gress twins are with us again
after spending some time, “Working

seem to have forgotten which is

Sam Greer has the mistaken idea
| that when Lady Macbeth told Ler
guests to “stand not upon the order
of your going but go at once,” she
meant, “Stay awhile yet.” Where did
| Sam get the “Stay awhile.”
Margaret Damico does not care how
;soon the rubber factory stops. They
haven't an auto and she cannot hear
the teachers coming.
Mr. Hoyle who has spent 31 years

interesting things about China.
Miss Beck informed the

SALISBURY
‘When the Moon is shining.
Just ag the moon was rising above
the tops of the trees, the Truth
Seekers Bible Class came in by twos
! an threes. Bach was given a weicome
i o,
into the seats around the fire and
each was given one letter-of ‘five
words pertaining to the class.” These
when formed composed the class
name. Acorns were then ‘“served” to
the waiting crowd. Those contained
directions for a short speech, song
or some stunt to perform, Miss Sallie
Lichty having drawn the two blanks,
was of necessiity called upon to per-
form what the others could not poss-
ibly do, and great was her conster-
nation when an “impossible” was di-
rected to turn a handspring. She al-
so sang a solo very /prettily., The
moonlit grove resounded with “some
sounds of sweetest: harmony” when
the crowd lifted up their voices
with one accord and sang, “My Coun-
try, 'Tis of Thee.” Then as perfect
stillness reigned, Rev. B. F. “Waltz
thanked the Father for ‘he blessings
and privileges, which we have and ask-
ed that the class might grow not only
in numbers but in the Christian gra-
ces.
A delicious chicken supper was
then served from an improvised ta:
ble between a tree and a stump. On-
ly one fault could be found with the
those chickens had neither
livers or gizzards, and some one ev:
en dared to blame it upon some
member of the committee,
that would never do. Great rosy ap-
ples and juicy pears were there ga-
lore!
After being thus refreshed some ot
the guests settled down for a con-
versation and then soon to depart for
home. The young folks circled around
a blazing bonfire for games and told
tales and stories. Mr. and Mrs. D. W.
Livengood head of the committee on
arrangements regaled the company
with interesting bits of history and
experiences. .
The spell of the night was upon
them and they stayed unable t»
break the charm until a new day was
being ushered, then denarted to ether
The visitors present from a dis-
tance were Mr. and Mrs. Dan Miller
of Confluence, Mr. and -Mrs.- John
Miller of McKees Rocks. The class,
Truth Seekers’ Bible Class of the
Crurch of the Brethren, entertained
a number of visitors of town and
nearby also. They appreciate the
kindness of Emmanuel Yoder in let-
ting them use his grove for this
meeting.
- Shower for Bride-to-Be
A miscellneous shower was given
last Thursday evening for M‘ss Mel
en Reitz at the home of her grand:
parents, Mr. and Mrs. H. H, Reitz.
The rooms were tastefully decorated
with autumn leaves and flowers and
lighted with jack o’ lanterns. The
| gifts were concealed about the rooms
and Miss Helen was given a ball
of twine which she was told to wind
up and to keep every-tbing she chould
find attached to it. Fer ir this case
findin’s keepins” sure enough; among
the many beautiful gifts was a most
beautiful runner for library table
made by her aunt Miss Elizabeth
Reitz.
A peanut hunt followed which liven-
ed up everybody and prepared them
for the contest to follow. The guests
‘the girl, who shortly became a bride
and her.chosen, should “live happily
ever after.
