SYRACUSE HIGH SCHOOL NOTES

Items of Interest Concerning Our High School Written for The Syracuse Journal. There was great joy expressed on the faces of the student body Wednesday. They had heard thy tike Chamber of Commerce had gotten behind the proposition of raising money for the r new comm unity building and that with the co-operation of this body. Mr. Abbott and the other ei'izens of tins community; the building is assured. This of course means a pla.-e for our class plays, basketball games, commencement exeercises and the County* Basketball tourney. Those having perfect attendance (neither tardy nor absent) perfect deportment and no grade below "B” were: Seventh grade —none. Eight grade—Mamie Wogoman. Freshmen -Ralph Leacock and ; Esther Long. Sophomore—none. Junior—Maxine Jenkins. Thelma Geyer and Prentice Kindig. Senior —Elizabeth McClin'ic, Cecelia Moran. Dale Shock and Rebecca Fleming. Wednesday morning Rev. Earhart gave the talk on the life of Christ. His talk was about the preparation of Jesus for his great preachings. It took in three big points. His Baptism, Forty days in the wilderness and His Temp- J tat ion. . The per centage of attendance for the first school month is: First grade 95.1. second grade 98.3. third grade 98.9, fourth grade 98, fifth grade 97.4. six.*h ‘ grrde 94.3, seventh grade 96.29. eight grade 95.3 and for the high school 97.6. Thursday morning the chorus girls en*ertained the hioh school ' with various negro songs. Helen ' .Leacock gave a review of the , life of Stephen Collins. Foster and Rebecca Fleming gave a j short discussion on the negro | spirituals. t If all the time spent in whis- ! poring, giggling, and note throwing during the students assembly ' periods, was sneni in preparing their lessons there would be no necessity of an assembly teacher or any reason for a “D” grade. ( The Freshman class organized Tuesday electing Jam\s- Connolly president, Hamid Shock vicepresident and Mary' Bachman secretary and treasurer Miss Stuctaman was selected class advisor. Last Thursday evening the sophomore class cnioyed a picnic on Indian Hill.

In Paris--The City Beautiful

We left London from Victoria Station. After a two hours’ ride on the Continental Express we arrived at New Haven, where We - took the boat to cross the English Channel. Tae channel is the -place where you get seasick, even when you do not get seasick on the ocean, as it is invariably rough, or what is known as a choppy sea. This is (nay seventh time through •’he length of it, or across it, and it has always been calm, for which I am mast thankiul. We landed at Dieppe, where we were obliged to go through the custom house before taking the *ram for Paris. Miss Hadley’s luggage and mine were marked without being opened, but not so with a lady from Ireland, whom we met at the German Embassy m London, and who is a teacher of languages in a Beritz school in Prague, that before the world war was in Austria, but is now in she Czecho (for short) country. It has a long name, that country, perhaps you can guess t. though I can neither spell it or pronounce it. We arranged to travel to Paris together and stop at the Hotel Avenida, on Rue Colisse. Cooks tourist agen:, who is always on hand, called for the third time that the train for Paris is ready to leave. I grabbed up my hat box and with the assistance of a porter, found my place seat No. 6, in a compartment in a coach near the front of the train, and in a few’ minutes the train began to move out of the station The passengers in {my compartment were without exception, English. They saw’ how indignant I was at the porter, who wanted 24 cents for carrying my hat box a few steps—l gave him a dime—l had heard try to hold up Aknericans, and I refused to be held up. I am sure they were amused My turn to be amused caime later, whop one of « + hree ladies, who got up to go in the diner, fell backwards, and would have landed on the floor if I h?d not caught her.

% then was greater than mine had ; been. ? A railroad coach has a greater i or less number of compartments; - each compartment holds eight »• pt >pie, nour ride forward and , j four backwards, facing each -, other. AH the coaches on this - ;£rain had aisles along one side, ; because it carried a diner; usut ally the dcor io a compartment , opens on to the platform of the : station, and there is no going ; from one coach to another. This arrangement seems very strange tp people from the United States traveling for the first time abroad. It is well to remember to travel first class on water and second class on railroad trams—there is such a difference in the price, but none to speak of in the accommodations, and you save a lot of money; the real difference between the second and third class. When the train arrived in Paris, I supposed the two were on it, so I waited un il everyone was off, I wondered what I would or could do. scarcely remembering & word of French, when some one at my side said in English—Madame, can I be of service to Vou?*Turning, I saw a pleasant faced man, on whose cap was “Interpreter.” I explained, and he certainly was politeness i'self. He ordered a porter to get our suit cases, that had been checked through from London, then he asked if there were cigarettes or anything in them. I said no, so he motioned to a customs man to mark them without opening them. He also said i* was a good thing I came on ahead to get them out of the custom house that night. After our luggage was placed in the parcel check room, the interpreter took me to the station dining room and told me the nex* train from Dieppe would be in at 9.18 p. m. Part of what seemed a short wait, I amused myself by trying to guess the nationality of *he people in the waiting room. Two young ladies I was sure were sßngff&h; turned out to be U. S. A.

I I thought were U. S., when I heard them speak, were French, so I finally gave.it up in disgust and walked outside, where the j trains came in, and to ,rny great i surprise, they arrived at 8:30. We had no trouble to find this hotel, as oer Irish acquaintance always stops here, and it is headquarters of the Over Seas’ League, of which she is a member. We are only a short way from 1 the Avenue Champs Elysees. , For the benefit of any one who confdmpla*es a trip to Paris, will j say w’e have a lovely, large room, with twin- beds, hot and cold water in abundance, at $1.50 per day each, for our room on the fourth floor. There is an elevator in France that are called asc r.sure —to go up in: it is only large enough for two people, but you are no» allowed to go down in it, though why, I do not know. Breakfast is about 20 cents, and consists of two kinds of rolls, delicious butter, tea, cotfee or chocolate. Lunch we take wherever we happen to be, and often consists of a cheese or herb omelette, French fried potatoes, green beans, cut in thin strips lengthwise, hard rolls or equally hard bread, as it is all baked on the heatth, and sold by the yard, or almost any length desired. It looks so odd to see the poorer class walking along, one or two sticks of bread, a yard long, without a wrapper of any kind. There are very few flies in Paris, and no mosquitoes, consequently there are no screened windows or doors. In front of all the restaurants on the pavement, are chairs and tables where you can be served out of doors—can you imagine it—doors and windows wide open. There are awnings to protect customers from the glare of the sun. Our lunch rarely amounted to more than twenty-five cents each and seme times not that much. Dinner in the hotel was from 7:00 to 9:00 p. m., and was always served in five courses, a generous poF ion of soup, fish with potatoes, meat with one vegetable, salad, and a sweet, or dessert, for 75 to 86 cents, just as the price of the French franc happens to be. Most of the hotel gues‘s have a mineral water or a small -glass of wine, and the- bottle is put away with the room number on it and it will last for several dinners.

There are any number of places where you can buy any kind of wine or beer, yet strange to say, we have not seen any one under*its influence, in our eight weeks in Europe.. If they do not have prohibition, they are temporate in their drinking. One day we went into a local or sub postoffice for stamps and were surprised to find in the same small loom, they sold wines.

Miss Powell remained with us uitfil Monday and in that time we learned to get about. We look one of the numerous sightseeing busses to once again after twenty years view the famous places of this most charming of cities. The Arch de Triumph stands in the center of such a large open space, that twelve boulevards go out from it—two of them at least are over 200 feet wid“, with beautiful trres, and buildings all along the way: there are wonderful open spaces cr parks in the heart of Paris, Luxomberg gardens and Palace. Twillery Garcens, Place de La Concorde and the Eifflle Tower, over 750 itet high—just how much over 1 do not kno*. The Pantheon with its wonderful paintings, Notre Dame, with its hundreds of heads in the deep arched door ways, and life sized statues, its flying but ter esses and projecting gargoyles, to me the exterior of this wonderful cathedral has a far greater appeal than the interior. Victor Hugo describes it in his Les Miserables, which has been filmed. There is a lovely garden back of the cathedral, de Vi lie, a fanciful building, and back of it is the building containing the tomb of Napoleon—it was built for one of the Kings of France, but is now the last resting place of the Great Emperor and his family. The tomb is deep down beneafh the central dome and has a rather high marble fence around it and every one looking at it must slightly incline their head —that is why they sav the whole world still bows to Napoleon. The first time I visited s he ,*omb it poured and rained, but above and around the tomb the sun shone; it is the wonderful colored glass in the windows that does the trick. The key to the tomb was made from the jewelry Napoleon wore when a prisoner on the Island of St.

CELEBRATED 59TH j WEDDING ANNIVERSARY i On Sunday, October 10, Mr. and Mrs. G. H. Bailey of this city celebrated their fifty-ninth wedding anniversary at their home here. The day wms made memorable by a number of their children gathering at the home and enjoving a big wedding dinner, which w-as made complete with a large bride’s cake, baked by their daughter, Mrs. H. D. Parker, of Niles, Michigan. Mr. and Mrs. Bailey w’ere married on October 10. 1867, and have spent most of their married life in Syracuse. They are the | parents of thirteen children, one ! son having passed away after j retching manhood. Mr. Bailey | is a Civil War veteran, and with ! Mrs. Bailey, is enjoying good health, he being 79 years old, while she is 77. Not all of the children w’ere present on Sunday, ok those who were there were: Mr. and Mrs. Bert Bailey and two children of Kinvneil; Virgil Bailey of Bryan, Ohio; Mr. and Mrs. H. D. Parker of Niles, Mich; Mrs. George A. Heiser and son, of Lakeville. Ind.; Mr. and Mrs. Donovan Strock and six children and Mrs. A R. Strock. Rev, and Mrs. Wm. L. Eiler and son, Linden of this city were guests. AUTO CRASH A bad smashup occurred at Warsaw Tuesday morning, when a Jewett sedan, driven by Mrs. Joel Wilt of Syracuse collided with an International truck belonging to the Jet White Groceteria. The occupants of the sedan were Mrs. Joel Wilt and baby daughter Betty Lee, Mrs. W. M. Wilt, Mrs. Fred Hershyerger and three children. None of the occupants of the car were seriously injured. They escaped with minor bruises. The Wilt car was badly damaged, fenders being torn off, radiator jammed in and axles bent. JUNIOR ART CLUB The Junior Art Club met on . Saturday afternoon with Miss Harriet Bachman. Each young lady brought an attractive piece of silk and ribbon to match, then used their needles in making thesq into bags. After this work, needless to say, there was some play. The pleasing refreshments brought an end to their very happy and useful day. UNDERWENT OPERATION Mrs. H. A Bowser underwent ! an operation at the Methodist | nospital in Ft. Wayne on Wednes- ' day morning. Herman Jensen is spending a few days in the McDonald hospital in Warsaw’ where he under- 1 went a minor operation on one * of his ears, which was performed t.y Drs. Howard of Goshen and 1 v>. R. Hoy of this city. WILL MEET AT WARSAW The Kosciusko County Minis- < terial Association will hold its i October meeting in the Public Library Building, at Warsaw, this coming Monday at 1:30, ! Every preacher in the county is a member of this association and : is uiged to be present at this meeting. Helena. Some of the marble was brought from Finland. We are having beautiful sunshiny weather, and it is about time, as it rained so much all summer. It is really too crowded w’ith tourists, to be pleasant—there were nearly two million from the U. Si alone —besides the English—thousands of them, ' from all over the world. 1 forget to say the Unknown Soldier is buried beneath the Arch de Triumph. A light bums j above the place day and night, year in and year out, and every time I have passed that way the place has been covered with flowers. President Coolidge sounded a note of warning to U. S. citizens to be careful and not give offense while in France. The warning fell on at least one pair of heedless ears, that I know of—for on a sight-seeing trip to Varsi, a U. S. man inquired of the guide who kept up the palace and grounds. The guide replied, the French government—the man said indeed it does not—the United States does. And every place on that sight-seeing trip, that man kept contradicting the guide and made himself so disagreeable. He ruined the trip for every one. One needs must blush for shame that such people are allowed to travel abroad, apparently for the express purpose of insulting a nation, to .whom we have been debtor, until the recent world war.

THINGS TO THINKABOUT Review of Things by tire Editor As He Sees Them on the Surface. ■—— if Course Across If you don’t pay your bills what are you? Do you think that your presence is greatly desired by the - ; community? Do you think that [the people would be sorry to ! meet your administrator? Some of you do not pay your bills because you can not. You : are not stich an obnoxious personage. Others of you prefer personal pleasure to that of being square with the world. You are contemptible. Unless you are like the lady of color who could not pay her meat bill because she had her pictures taken. True, we meet you everywhere you people who owe and intend to owe, and spend delightful hours with you but nevertheless the subject of your indebtedness intrudes upon our pleasure constantly. People who take •‘•rips leaving behind them bills which they never expect to nay; people who attend the theatre at the expense of others are really a menace and should be guarded against. Perhaps the future will work out some system of credit which the present does not present. But in the meantime pay your bills and don’t enjoy yourself alt the other fellow’s expense. Youthful Song Writer. A schoolgirl wrofce the following poem: “Last night as I lay dreaming I glanced upon the wall, The bedbugs and the roaches Were having a game of ball, The score was two to nothing, The roaches were ahead. The bedbugs made a home run And pushed me out of bed.” Recently a physician expressed the opinion that most sports clothes for women are too elaborate and that wearers are overclad. With the opening of the bathing season, however, he will find the general average considerably improved. Now that the fistic championship and the baseball championship is settled we’ll proceed to decide the political championship. It’s just one thing after another. The person who walked across the street was once called a pedestrian. Now’, unless he can hit a livelier gait, he is commonly called “the deceased.” — # The young preacher gave it or* that his mission was to save veung men. “Good,” said the church flapper.” Save one for M me. We heard the other day of a Syracuse woman who calls her little boy “Prescription.” She says it’s so hard to get him filled. Syracuse is like a lot of other tovrns. Certain parents keep their dog at home at night and let the "iris run at large. You think its cute to have her slip her hand into your pocket. After you have married her, you'll think different The difference between dogs and human nature seems to be that most can be managed. An important auto accessory, generally overlooked, is a little money to keep it going. The hardest thing in the world to steal is an office clock.
