SYRACUSE HIGH SCHOOL NOTES Items of Interest Concerting Our High School Written for Syracuse Journal. The new Ginger Gem put up Monday is entitled, “Go After It, Son”— “ ’Tis true that the world owes every one a living, but there is no free delivery system to bring it to your door. ’Tis also true that your parents or anyone else cannot give you an education. They can provide the opportunity for you to get it, but that’s all. You, yourself, will have to do the 1 work.” The chapel last Wednesday morning was conducted by Rev. Nicodemus. His subject was “Pictures of the Imagination,” found in Proverbs 23:7, “As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he.” Some points he expressed were: What we think in our heart, that is what we are, and a look in the face tells what you are.” Many students are practicing for the play, “The Land of the Honeymoon.” It is sponsored by the Wednesday Afternoon Club and directed by Miss Engels. It will be presented in the High school auditorium on February 25 and 26. Saturday night, February 23, the Millersburg H. S. third team will play the Syracuse H. S. third team at the Syracuse high school gym. This will be a red hot game. Everybody come. Admission 10 cents. The Juniors have picked the characters for their class play, “Educating Esther.” Zelma Banning entered the Bth grade Monday. - o CUSE LOSES TWO GAMES Those who were not at Milford last Friday night missed two very close games, also very interesting ones. The many fans were enthused over the second team too. During the first team games, at the half, the score stood 10 to 17 in our favor, so you can te'll that ours boys were playing hard, and at the end of the game the score, we are sorry to say, was 21-25, in favor of Milford. But, perhaps we may meet Milford in the district and then we may be the one with the high score. We wish to congratulate one and all of the boys on both teams for their good team work and playing. At Eitna Green next Friday, February 22, we want to hear more volume in the yelling and more yellers! The score was as follows: Syracuse Seconds Players ‘FG FT F PTS D. Griidyl 3 0 5 E.

CLUB WOMEN ENJOY VALENTINE PARTY , It was a St. Valentine ’ party, on February 14, and the hostess was Mrs. Harry Hire, at her home in Potawatomi Park, Lake Syracuse, that the Ladies of the Round Table Club attended and enjoyed so much. The committee on entertainment spared no painstaking efforts to make this meeting one of the finest in the history of the club. The outstanding attraction to many of the members was Mrs. Hire’s beautiful new home, which was viewed by them for the first time. The committee had decorated the rooms appropriately with hearts, and as you entered you were immediately made to feet that a St. Valentine party was on. The guests were ushered to the large living room, where a short time was spent in a social way and discussing the beauties of the new home. Soon the meeting was called to order by the president, .Mrs. Chas. Bowersox, and a few items of business taken care of. She mentioned the Kosciusko county convention of Federated clubs, which is scheduled to be held here on March 23, and urged the members to attend. She then turned the meeting over to the entertainment committee, which began the program for the evening. Unique games and contests followed in rapid succession, and in one game particularly, carrying candy hearts from one table to another, on the end of a straw, and where each one was given one minute, and where speed and accuracy counted was won by little Miss Freida Foust. Another amusing game was the writing of a progressive love letter. The letters were exchanged and read and this created. a lot of merriment, and in this game Mrs. Zella Leacock won. the prize. A small black heart was presented to be stuck on each member’s face, and as the prizes were won, another heart was stuck on the face of the winner, and at the end of the contest prizes were awarded according to th< number of hearts on her face, o The letter written by Mrs. O. G. Carr, and read by Mrs. A. L. Miller, was considered the most humorous. "Each member was told to bring their baby picture, and many were taken, and the pictures placed above the grate on the mantel, and the guessing of these baby pictures brought back memories of other days. Some were guessed immediately while others required the whole club to figure them out. Small tables daintily decorated in red and white were brought in after the games were over, by the following girls, Harriet Foust, Freida Foust, Joan Riddle, Virginia Riddle and Marjorie Slabaugh. and placed at convenient places in the sun parlor and living room, each table having four ‘ dainty place cards of hearts on them, and the guests were then asked to find their places at the table, where dainty refreshments were served by the five girls. At each place was a menu folder, and each one was asked to select four items from the menu, which would be served, the guest not knowing what the items she selected would be. The menu was very dainty and in keeping with St. Valentine’s day, and was as follows: Very Popular, A Double Deck, Lover’s Name, Easy To Get, No Lover Could Live Without, The Overthrow of Boston, If Her Lover Gets Mad at Her, No Lover Would Omit, Every Lover Does It, Part of a Lover’s Program, A Complication, Real Pet Name, The Spring’s Offering, Young Symptoms of Love. While still seated at the tables the chairman of the program committee, Mrs. Court Slabaugh, called the attention of her guests to the blue blaze burning in the grate, where she had thrown Driftwood Blaze, and asked the club to make a wish while it burned, for the hostess, and expressions were silently and audibly made for a long life of health and happiness in her new home. It was almost rtpdnight before the guests realized it, they were having such a good time with Mrs. Hire, the congenial hostess, and her mother, Mrs. Sarah Ott, who assisted in making The Ladies of the Round Table Club have one of its most enjoyable meetings. o— L. T. L. MEETING The Loyal Temperance Legion will meet on Saturday afternoon February 23, in the basement of the library. o ■A classified sd will tell it.

LIBRARY NOTES The Wednesday Afternoon Club is now pljmning its work for the fallowing club year, club programs are always interesting and very educational. This group df women use the library quite’extensively for the material for their club papers. This year the library is purchasing “The Book of Plays” by Barrie so that they may use it for their programs. Why dont’ some of the other organizations come to us for material, at least more than they do? What we do for one, we are willing to do for all, and as long as we feel that the books you request can be used often enough after purchasing, to justify us in so doing, we are only too glad to be of service in this way. Clubs, business men, housewives and students should feel that they are welcome in every «en<se to any service we can give and that we are only Xoo glad to answer questions, look up material or even send to larger libraries for material that we don’t have. Goops! The Goops, they wet their fingers To turn the leaves of books, And then they crease the corners ' And thinks that no .one looks. They print the marks of dirty hands, Os lolly pops and gum. On picture-book and fairy-book As often as they come. ARE YOU A GOOP? Anyone interested in Biblical material will certainly appreciate our new book “The Graphic Bible,” by Lewis Browne. Let us help you plan your party with our new party books.

GEORGE WASHINGTON America is singularly fortunate in having for its greatest national figure, and in away, its patron saint, such a man as George Washington. Everything goes, tp show that he was a man of high and sterling personal character, such a man as fs admirably adapted to set a mark for the emulation of the youth of this and future generations. George Washington was born at Pope’s Creek. West Moreland county, Va 1 ., on February 22, 1732—just 197 years ago. The anniversary’ of his birth has been observed since before his death, which occurred at Mt. Vernon, Dec. 14, 1799. The first recorded celebration. occurred at Newport, R. 1., on February 12, 1781, when the French troops, by order of Lt. General 4 Count de Rochambeau, paraded, fired a salute and suspended all work for the day in acknowledgment of his considerate and diplomatic treatment of our French allies. Records show the letter from Count de Rochambeau to General Washington, congratulating him and expressing his pleasure, and also General Washington’s modest but sincere plyWashington’s farewell address, teeming with the wisdom of a far-seeing statesman, will’ be read in ail legislative halls and public schools of this nation on his birthday anniversary. His standards of conduct in his reflation to his fellow men, his willingness to serve his country and obey its laws, his principles, are the things that really matter because they serve as an example and a guide for each oncoming generation to live by.

! K. OF P. BANQUET The annual banquet given by Kosciusko Lodge, No. 230, Knights of Pythias, Tuesday evening was a grand success from every standpoint of view. This is an outstanding event and an annual affair with the local Knights, and is given to commemorate the anniversary of the founding of the order by Justis Rathbone, who, on February 19, 1864, organized the first lodge at Washington, D. C.. with 12 members. The sumptuous banquet was served by the Ladies’ Aid of the M. E. church. The music was furnished by Ross Franklin’s celebrated orchestra, the fame of which, wejkre told, spreads from sea to sea. About 140 persons were served at the banquet. After the inner person was satisfied, the tables were cleared away and seats arranged for the guests that they may see the entertainment arranged for by the Pythian Sisters, who put on a negro sketch, which caused much merriment and laughter. Miss Natheta Sloan also favored the crowd with whistling solos. The remainder of the evening was spent in. dancing and at the midnight hour the guests departed saying they enjoyed the banquet and the program and that they had a jolly good time.

GAVE PLEASING PROGRAM The Taylor University Quartette of Upland, Ind., was greeted by a fair sized audience on Saturday evening at the high school gymnasium. The four young college men who furnished the 'program, were way beyond the average singers, and if you failed to hear them you missed a rare treat. The program consisted of solos, readings, and singing by the quartette. The affair wasi sponsored by the Junior Ladies of the Round Table club, the proceeds to be used for a starting fund to purchase seats for the new gym. The girls displayed a businesslike management of t|ie affair and proved their ability to do big things in the They are making fine progress and some day they will be among the future club women of Syracuse. Everyone who attended could not help but realize that they were listening to musical artists and not any ordinaifX group of so-called musicians. The program was worth far more than the admission really was. Those of you who didn’t go are out of luck, for if the Junior Ladies of the Round Table can secure a return engagement, the admission will be far more than it was this time.

W. A. CLUB A pleasant social affair occurred at the home of Mrs. R. E. Thornburg, Wednesday afternoon, February 20, when the Wednesday Afternoon Club observed guest day. Each member was priviledged to bring a guest, about 40 gathered to enjoy the program, which was given by Mrs. Joyce Saylor of Winona Lake. Also a group of musical numbers was played on the piano by Ned Harley. Delicious refreshments consisting of cakes and tea were served by the committee.

BEA UTIFYING CITY FOR INAUGURATION An army of artisans has taken charge of the Nation’s Capital to further beautify it for the Hoover-Curtis inauguration ceremonies and celebration on March 4th. On the Capitol plaza, where Herbert Hoover will deliver his naugural address which will be radio broadcast all oyer the world, a huge stand is being erected to accommodate 8,000 distinguished guests of the new President. These will include -enators. Representatives, foreign diplomats, members of the Republican National Committee, jurists and high Government officials.

A special glass-enclosed stand ■s in process of construction in front of the White House , and here President Hoover and the new First Lady of the Land will view the inaugural parade which will include 20,000 marchers representing practically every state in the union. The White House reviewing stand will accommodate sOO guests, while the public spectator stands along historic Pennsylvania Avenue from the Capitol to the White House will seat more than 50,000. With practically every.railroad in the country quoting a fare-and-a-half round-trip excursion rate to Washington for the inauguration it is expected that close to 500,000 visitors from the various states will flock to the Capital. Ample housing accommodations at reasonable rates will be available for the visitors, and in addition to this, the railroad companies will park their Pullman cars on spacious sidings so as to allow them to be used as sleeping quarters. Owing to the fact that inauguration day falls on Monday, the committee on arrangements headed by Lieut.-Col. U. S. Grant 3rd, has planned an elaborate three-day celebration with a host of free attractions for the visitors, among whom will be numbered the governors, of 35 or 40 different states, accom-4 pamed by the crack military or® ganizations of their commonwealths. All the inauguration excursion trains are due to arrive in Washington on March 1 or 2". The inaugural festivities will begin on the night of Saturday, March 2, and continue untii two days after Hoover and Curtis are inducted into office as President and Vice President. The attractions will include an aerial circus in which more than 200 planes from commercial aviation companies will participate. The giant navy dirigible, “Los AngeCes” will hover over Washington for three days, and many death-defying aerial stunts will be performed by the “Question Mark,” the aeroplane which remained in the sky over California for an entire week, thus shattering all endurance records in the refueling contest. Spectacular cavalry and artillery drills, mimic warfare, a $5,000 fire-works display and band concerts, choral singing, special lectures on Washington and an exhibit telling the story of Washington on “Past, Present and Future,” will be a few of the other free attractions. Washington business men have raised a fund of SIOO,OOO to defray the expense of the civic celebration and Congress has appriated $45,000 for the official exercises at the Capitol. The indications are that this will be “an old-fashioned inauguration,” with more color, pomp, diversity and splendor than any since the Wilson inauguration in 1913. The Court of States, extending a quarter of a mile in front of the White House, will be the most brilliant spectacle at night. Flags of the various states, entwined with American flags and linked with garlands of evergreens and variegated electric lights, will adorn the court. The ensemble will be flooded with 2,000 (XX) candlepower spotlights throughout the inaugural period.

THINGS TO THINK ABOUT ■ Review of Things by the Editor As He Sees Them on the Surface. Marriage Shows People Up Marriage, when fulfilled, is the most beautiful of all human relationships, but the trouble is only a few are fit. If a girl is selfish and vain she may get on fairly well by herself, but being married and taking that selfish disposition into Jthe intimacies of maritial relationship, she is an utter failure. Marriage simply “shows her up.” A man may be a bit of a brute but pass for a good fellow, but when he takes his coarseness and vulgarity into the intimacies of marriage, he i& simply “shown up.” He was never fit. If anybody has any meanness, selfishness, bad temper, miserliness or jealousy concealed anywhere about his person, marriage wifi “show him up.” The real cause of so many divorces is lack of self-control, self-mas-tery, and a knowledge of the rule of the square deal. Women D.d you ever see how a woman reads a newspaper? She scatters the pages apart as if she were looking for a bedbug. I hate to read a newspaper after a woman gets through with it. You can’t find anything. Another complaint against -women is that they put fancy covers on beds. Then you stand around in your bare feet and fold the silly thing hack before you can turn in. It was probably some woman too who put green centers in chocolate creams. They like to make life more complicated and senseless. But I like the dear young things, anyway.

It’s The Style “And now, children,” said the teacher, “who can give me the definition of a husband?” “I know,” answered Bobby im- W mediately. “It’s something no respectable family should be without.” For Winter Drivers This tombstone is for Jimmy Price Who drove his car on slippery ice. He tried to stop upon a slope. Released his clutch. Crash. Bang. No hope. The old-fashioned bride who promised to love, honor and obey, now has a daughter who gets married on the slogan, “I’ll try anything once.” A Syracuse man thinks he has discovered something new. His L wife declined an invitation to a tacky party because she had nothing to wear. They used to preserve things in alcohol but most of the alcohol you get nowadays will eat up anything that is put into it. Mr. Hoover wild certainly prove that he is a real food administrator if he can find enough, political pie to go around. Isn’t nature grand? The grass and the trees turn green in the spring, and so does most of the Christmas jewelry. The laziest man has been found once more. He puts coffee grounds in his mustache and drinks hot water. A woman’s smile may wreck, a man’s heart, but it’s always another kind that wrecks his constitution. Collectors of antique furniture are all right, but what we would like to “collect” are some tique bills. < > ( A “snap” is usually something that you do not realize you have until it is taken away from you.
