THE HIGH SCHOOL . . BULLETIN . . EDITORIAL ST AFP Editor Jy McOw ASSISTANT EDITORS John Colpmnn Uor Mot'relgUt Local Editor lleiKle Sensor The contest Friday night between the Senior classes of Hrookville, Punxsu tawnpy and Reynoldsvllle was a decided success, from our standpoint. The con testanU from the different schoolscame here sangulno of success, but not being previously aware of our ability they have tasted the blttorness of defeat and have gone home a wiser but sadder lot. We rejoice over our victory because wo have dofoatcd so worthy opponents. Their worthiness was shown by their splendid productions, and by the mag nanimity with which they bore their inability to win the prize. Truly, as some one has snld, "to smllo in victory is easy, In defeat heroic." Our school has been working hard and faithfully the last two weeks, for we knew we had to put forward every effort to win. But before the contest was end ed, tt was a foregone conclusion that wo were going to win. It was only a ques tion of how many more points wo would have than our nearest opponent : as It was, wo had .14, Punxsutawney 2SJ, and Brook villa 2.1. The judges are to bo congratulated on their wise decision, which has met the approval of every just person who heard tbe contest. We are glad to state that our worthy County Superin tendent gave eclat to the occasion by his presence. Ho opened the contest by making a fow appropriate remarks con cerning applauso and announcing that there would bo an Informal reception for the High Schools In tho library im mediately following tho decision of tho judges. We wish to note some of the special features of the occasion. The pupils of the preparatory and high school had supplied thcmsulves with canes and pennants which they proudly and gracefully waved to tho music of the orchestra during the even-In- In order to add a litllo spirit and en thusiasm to the occasion, tho pupils of the uppor grades were planning to havo eome songs introductory to the contest, when tn the midst of tho preparations a decree was issued by the board which forbade any applauso, except by the ap propriate use of tho hands. Of course this Included yelling, but with all duo respect to the directors and thoso in authority over us, we could not restrain our "pent up" enorglos throughout tho evening. Tho excitement during tho absence, of the judges was at fover heat, not only In the rooters' corner but in evory quar ter of Assembly hall, and when tho de cision was awarded us, our loader, Wil liam Reynolds, gallantly led us thro six hearty yells, which gave expression to our feelings and voiced tho sentiments of every supporter in the room. No one would have thought Will would have gono the wrong way after leaving tbe balcony, but he did. How ever he was gently "collared" by on of the fair sex and sent spinning In the right direction. Who says the girls can't run? Why the way they sprinted for the rostrum would lead one to think they bad been practicing for a hundred-yard dash. The reception was not very we'll at tended after the close of the contest owing to tho fact that everybody was excited and talking contest that Punx sutawney had to leave, as they couldn't hold (?) their chartered car any longer j and lastly, that Brookvllle was trying to charter a car to get out of town. But a few of tho contestants did remain and we wore glad to meet thorn and con gratulate them on their efforts. We were sorry to learn that some of the Freshman Glee Club forgot them selves and hissed when the decision was announced. And we are equally glad to acknowledge that it did not moot the approval of the four contestants of that school. We realize that they (the Freshmen) are young and know not what they do, hence we forgive them. Admitting an honorable defeat Is half tho victory ; and now Brookvllle Btands second. Can any one say a word against the order on the left balcony Friday night? No one had a thought of disturbing any speaker. In fact we wore quite sympa thetic and when some of the spcakora got lost our feelings went out to them. You can trust the boys and girls when you treat them right. While we were not permitted to slnu our songs with permission of tho , we will publish two of the shorter ones: Tcmb AMERICA.
