FRESHMEN AND SOPHOMORES ENTERTAIN

i The gymnasium of R. H. S. showed very plainly that our high school has the right school spirit, when on Friday night, December 10, the Freshmen and Sophomores entertained the two upper classes at a dinner. The dinner was the result of the contest for the selling of the athletic tickets, the two upper classes having won. The “gym” was very artistically decorated in the school colon and baskets of Christmas flowers formed the center piece of each table. At the appointed hour there never was such a hungry bunch (including Faculty) and there is ntrsioubt about the justice which /chej® did to the lovely two-course dinner prepared with the aid of bur High School “COOK,” Miss Minch. The toasts of the evening were formed from the letters of “School Spirit” and they were all very good. It is these social affair that bring the students in closer friendship with one another, and especially the lower and upper classmen. The students are all hoping to have I more such feeds before the year is 'over but the Freshies and Sopho- ; mores are trusting to fate to make I them the guests next time.

Mid-year Exams are just beginning to darken the minds of our hopeful but fearing young Freshmen. j Isabel Bever has made the seventh hour history 12, class famous by her wide awake (?) answers and brilliant./remarks. . he may talk above his own standards, thus in his own soul know his insincerity. But if the people feel that he is, what he is, because ' he does think and act as he does,! he will have a wholesome influence. Mr. Hamilton said, in closing, it is a splendid thought for the teachers of Rensselaer to feel that they are not visitors to the city but that they are citizens of the city, and as such, that they should have an interest in, and be able to speak on all projects which belong to the interests of the community. | The session closed with a general discussion of the talk. Much benefit has been received from the series of talks that has been given 1 by men outside of the profession.
