SYRACUSE HIGH SCHOOL NOTES Items of Interest Concerning Our High School Written for The Syracuse Journal. Laucks Xanders entertained the eighth grade Thursday evening. Twenty-two of the class were present and the time was spent ehjoyably in playing games and in contests. Prizes * were won in these various contests by Maxine LeCount, Richard Bell, Miriam Peffley, Mary Jensen and Lewis Sprague. Thursday evening the Juniors met at the home of Louise Hedges to finish the decorations for the reception. Later in the evening refreshments of pop-corn, bop- bons and cake were served and the general opinion os that work lagged after these were „ served. Monday morning K meeting was held in the assembly to show the appreciation of the-* entire school to Eunice Wyatt for winning the first prize, a silver cup, at the County Oratorical Contest at Burket. The winning speech was called “Nellie’s Gift.” The art, home economics and woodworking classes and the lower grades are giving an exhibit of some of their work. Parents and others interested are invited to come Friday afternoon at two o’clock. The chorus girls are practicing on the Chinese operetta, “The Feast, of the Little Lanterns.” The date it is presented has not been definitely set, but probably will be given during the week following the dismissal of school. The Boitany Class with Mr. Gants went to Bachman’s woods Friday afternoon to hunt species of lichens, mosses, fungi, toadstools and horse-tail rushes. They returned with two basketsful of very good specimens. The Alumni banquet is to be held at the Tavern Hotel on April twenty-first. All the Junior girls and a few of the Sophomore girls have been to help in serving .the many guests that are expected. For this week the Ginger Gem is: “I will study and prepare myself, and some day my chance will come.” These words were given by Abraham Lincoln while yet a child. » ’»• Frederick Clayion of the Senior Class has been seriously ill with pneumonia. Everyone wishes him a speedy recovery in order that he can take part in Commencement exercises. The Good Friday Services were conducted by the Rev. R. G. Foust in the assembly. He gave a review of the last week in the of Jesus and told of His sufferings and trials, o ■<. ■ BIRDIFY YOURJMHVN

Our feathered friends are coming north again. A few may be as plentiful as they were ten years ago,, but many varieties are rapidly diminishing. Birds and the air-rifle do not blend. The insectivorous bird is man’s greatest aid in his perpetual war against the insect army, and these little friends should be greeted with homes rather than with shots. A cozy little bird house in your front yard, in the garden or in the orchard, may induce a family of birds to become your permanent neighbors. Build such a home this year, or ask your local boy scouts to have a competition in bird-home building—and see to* it that you secure one of their properly constructed bird houses when the competition is over. Flowers, birds, sunshine — these three make a real home. — o — FARM BUREAU MEETING The next meeting of the Turkey Creek Township Farm Bureau will be held in the High School room on Tuesday, April 17; at 7:30 p. m. A good program is promised. After the business meeting refreshments will be served. The meeting is for farmers and farm bureau members only. “The Noose.” Nothing but praise for it AVe urge you ta see it tonight at Crystal, Li gonier.

JUNIOR-SENIOR RECEPTION The Junior-Senior reception was held on Saturday evening at the Tavern Hotel. A delightful four-course dinner was served in a competent manner by ten Sophomore waiters and waitresses. The tables were prettily decorated with Easter favors and the ceiling with the Senior class colors, green and gold. A large cane-pencil and yellow carnations were at each plate. Both yellow and pink carnations were used on the tables and Mr. Katzer presented a large wreath of daffodils to the Senior class. After the last course, Ralph Miller., the toastmaster, called on members of the faculty and a few of the public speaking students for tests called “Nuts to Crack” and “Birds in a Bush” were played and first prize was awarded, to Louise Hedges. The booby prize went to Orville Auer. The class prophecy, written in the form of a letter to a friend, was read by Helen Schroeder, and most of the Seniors were surprised on learning their future occupations. Helen Leacock gave the history of the Seniors from the first grade up to their last year. Then the Seniors’ will was read by Natheta Sloan and all the bequests were unusual and comical. s The feature of the evening was a genuine funeral service for the passing class. To the tune of “Here Comes The Bride” played by Louise Hedges, marched the funeral procession. Eugene Snavely was the minister, Clarence Mick the undertaker and there were the chief mourners. A casket containing the body was carried by Raymond Kitson and George Hire. Phyllis Mock Ralph Miller and Helen Schroeder sang the parting songs of “They Are Going Down The Valley” < and “Farewell.” Then the minister gave the sermon and the guests were allowed to view the remains.

Syracuse Library Notes There are three classes of books —books that give pleasure, books that give information, and books that give inspiration. The first class has its thousands of readers, the second its hundreds, the third its tens. It is a good thing to read books for pleasurelt is a better thing to read books for information. It ,is onesof the healthiest joys of the normal mind to be forever learning something; forever and forever coming to the knowledge of the truth. It is the best thing, however, to read books for inspiration. —S. W. Foss Story hour attendants on Saturday were: Franklin McNutt, Jr., Christian Kline, Gertrude Edna and Agnes Fleming, Martha and Katherine Kern Betty and Katy Hughes, Freida and Harriet Foust., Mary Ellen Pletcher, Martha Ann Thornburg, Margaret Smith; Clifford Cripe, Dwayne, Maxine and Viiginia Bowers and Maxine Holloway. A long list of books have been replaced. These, with the exception of Zane Grey’s and Curwood’s novels, will be ready for circulation next week. Grey's and Curwood’s books are ready for circulation now. Rudolph Beckman has presented the library with a few back copies of the Literary Digest. These will be clipped for the information file. The begonia that Junior Jones gave to the library last fall is in full bloom at present and certainly is very pretty.

place to cross the street. Each child should remember to cross the street “at the corner” or intersection. If there are “stop and go lights” at the crossing, then stand at the curb while the light is red—and walk across quickly when the green is on. More men, women and children are killed in the middle of the block than anywhere else on the streets. Therefore, all children must be warned each day to avoid crossing streets in middle of blocks. It is dangerous, likewise, to run across the street. Use your eyes—look & both ways—then walk across at the intersection. |gO Each boy and girl might be asked to make a promise to obey these easily remembered safety rules —and do it w fftr mother’s sake.” Adieu, until -September.

To The Republican Voters of Kosciusko County. - k The undersigned, as a candidate for the office of Qlerk of The Kosciusko Circuit Court is taking this opportunity of presenting his name for -your approval at the Primary to be held on May the Bth. My father, Elmer J. Kinsey of Clay Township, was elected by you to this office in the last election, to take office on Jan. 1, 1928. Due to his serious illness, on Jan. L L as his deputy, took charge of the Clerk’s office. On January 7, the Board of Commissioners appointed me to fill the vacancy caused by his death. As to my qualifications to take care of the duties of the office, ask those who are in a position to know, and I am willing to" abide by your decision. The work here at the office is such that it will be impossible for me to get out and meet you as I would have liked to do. I trust that you will give this matter your careful consideration and will remember me when you go to the polls. Sincerely yours, LELAND KINSEY 50-4 t

THINGS TO THINLABOUT Review of Things by the Editor As He Sees Them on the Surface. Forget the Yesterdays The acme of all philosophy is confidence in today—that it is the best day—and tomorrow will be better if God is good. It is this thought .which makes the bird sing and the sun shine, wh ch enobles labor and defies duty, which cures disappointment and heart-hurt, banishes sorrow and fashions fate. Discontent and self-pity breeds pettiness. paresis and paralysis. How much better to smile. Don’t face the wrong way—let yesterday alone. If you have made a mistake forget it r nothing worth while was ever built upon useless regret. To err is human, and with every error safely under yesterday’s sod, the wise man and woman wipe away the tear bravely and face the front. It is only the mentally deficient who eats his heart out for what cannot now *be undone. Forget it —what a saving sanctuary is expressed in this floatsam of the street. Through forgetfulness hearts are healed, horrors are softened, crimes absolved. Sorrow comes into every life with hurrying years—none can hope to escape its bereavements and its blights—but forget it. Meanwhile do not fail to learn to forgive. , What does all this fighting and hating one another amount to anyway*? Don’t be a i Indian whose gross instinct and cold-blooded brutality are characterist cs of his class —the?-’ never forget because they will not forgive. Let go of the depressing and weakening grievance —wipe the slate clean each day—see to it that nc hatred poisons the mind or clouds the mirror of memory. Forgive, forget! smile on! and let the yesterdays alone. Rather Personal. A rather husky woman drove up to one of our filling stations the other day. “I want two quarts of oil,” she said. “What kind, heavy?”asked the attendant. “Say. young man, don’t get -fresh with me,” was the indignant response We heard a Syracuse merchant say yesterday that he has never { been held up and robbed at the point of a gun but he knows how it goes to be robbed by a man with ertedit. It is claimed the present generation does not know how to write and anyway a considerable number seem unable to write a check for last month’s bills. Whether due Ito the war or not there are four times as many millionaires as there were in 1914 and a few of the old ones have become billionaires.

It has been asserted that no man is worth more than $1.50 a day from his chin down. There is no limit to what he is worth from his chin up. A Mrs. Newlywed wanted some sponges at a local drug store. And when asked what kind she • said the kind to make sponge cake out of. t America is called the most prosperous nation, but people talk awful poor when you go around with a subscription paper. ' The Syracuse man who wants to have a garden all his neighbors will notice should raise his weeds in rows. Your friends think you are right, and your enemies think you are wrong—but you have t» show the rest of the world. Advertising your business builds it up and adds to it. And. advertising your troubles will do the same thing. We are a race of good, earnest starters, but it is only the finishers who carry off the really big prizes. # This Week’s Puiaie Pullen Question: ‘Have you heard the new and appropriate name for twentieth century hooch? •Ulivqiuyjoj uomsuv
