a 18 IN SCHOOLS AND COLLEGES e 5 SCHOOLS. | o A transter of teachers between cities of the eastern and the western coasts has been effected this year, whereby Miss Baldwin, an English teacher of the Central High School of this city, has exchanged positions with Miss Webb of the San Diego, Calif., high school. It is expected that the high schools of both cities will profit by the interchange of ideas, thus effected. % Old Centralites, as well as the pres- ent faculty and student body of Cen- tral High School, will learn with in- terest of the retirement this fall of Mrs. E. K. Walton. Mrs. Walton has been for many years director of the physical training of girls in Central, and supervisor of all dramatic activ- ities in the school. Last Monday evening, October 3, Mr. Robert A. Maurer, principal of the Central High School, met in confer- ence the parents and teachers of the first semester students, who, because of the heavy school enroliment, hive had to be placed on the aftérnoon shift. The purpose of the conference was to advise the parents of the con- ditions under which theses students must work and to discover means by which such conditions might best be met. Mr. Maurer made a special plea for the observance of a regular study period every morning in the home. and for the cstablishment of good school habits in this beginning year. The conference, which was entirely informal, was most helpful to the parents, as it covered practical sug- gezlions for the present of the stu- dent and yet presented a broad and inspiring outlook toward his future. Mrs. Winifred Sackville Stoner gave a most interesting and instruc- tive talk to a large and appreciative audience composed of primary teach- ers of 10-13 divisions in the assem- LIy hall of the Sumner School on Thursday, September 29. She not only lectured, but used teachers from the audience to illustrate some of the most effective ways of teaching young children. On_the following day at the Shaw Junior High School the “Talking Doll” was _exhibited. The teachers were loud in their praise of this doll, feeling that it would be a wonderful aid in teaching children. New teachers are coming into the primary department, divisions 10-13, almost daily. The Parent-Teacher Association of the Robert Gould Shaw Junior High School will meet in the assembly hall of the school Tuesday evening at 8 o'clock. The annual election of officers will be held. ‘The boys of the Robert Gould Shaw Junior High School were addressed Friday morning by Capt. Albert Ridg- ley. M. D, a veteran of the Mexican border campaign and the world war. Valuable hints on the “Care of the Body” were given by the lecturer. Men who have achieved success in diverse lines of work are presented to the boys of the school at semi- monthly assemblies. Students of the Robert Gould Shaw Print Shop announce a weekly bulle- tin of school events as a special project of that department. An augmented orchestra and male and female glee clubs have been or- ganized for the current vear at the Robert Gould Shaw Junior High School. Additional extra curricula uctivities are the athletic, dramatic, science, civic, Latin and French clubs. The children of the Parkview School have been informed that their school gardens were the most pro- ductive in the District during the past season, having produced vegetables valued at $337, while their nearest competitors, in the Potomac Park plots, reached a total of only $286. The Parkview kiddies, under the di- rection of Mrs. E. K. Peeples, in- structor of school gardens, cultivated several individual plots on the prop- erty loaned for the purpose by Charles E. Ebel, in the rear of the Parkview playground, and their suc- cess this season has inspired them with a determination to do even bet- ter next year. A meeting of the Grover Cleveland Parent-Teacher Association will be held at the school Tuesday afternoon at 3 o'clock, it was announced by Mrs. H. D. Wise, chairman of the press committee of the organization. A rifle_club is being organized at Central High #*hool with a determi- nation to duplicate its previous un- paralleled record of a possible score in a national match. The club en- tered two teams in the Astor cup match _under the coaching of Sergt. O. M. Shriver of the U. S. M. C., and hung up the enviable record of 1,000 out of 1,000 for the first team and 991 out of 1,000 for the second team. Sergt. Shriver has had Central's rifle interests under his direction for sev- eral vears. and the school has con- sistently shown its superiority over all other local high schools, and has had the national high school trophy and the Astor cup among its trophies. CENTRAL HIGH SCHOOL. Miss Olna Hudler, a Colorado teach- er of mathematics, who has been on the faculty of Central High School for the past three years, has been granted leave of absence by the board of education anl will not re- turn to Washington this year. The Central High School is moving so0 fast that it cannot stop to be interrogated as to what it is doing. Its principal, Robert A. Maurer, has swung into line every one of his 130 teachers and practically all of the 3,025 students. Two shifts are being run, with the seven upper scmesters on the morning assignments and the *rookies” on the afterncon. An exchange of teachers has been effected by which Miss Baldwin, one of the instructors in English at Cen- | tral High School. is to teach high school of Webb_of in_the an Diego, while Miss that city replaces her in n during this school year. d that the schools of both of these teachers will profit by the in- terchange of ideas thus effected. Cen- tral has given Miss Webb a hearty welcome into its faculty. The prospective officers of the high school cadets for the year 1921-22 are cagerly awaiting their commissions. Excitement runs high among the can- didates and their friends. This is a period of tension second only to the awarding of the competitive drill de- cision next, Indeed, it is be- cause the all feel that next May’s results hinge on the coming ap- pointments that this period of wait- ing is one of such strain and intense interest. ‘WESTERN HIGH SCHOOL. published by The Western Breeze, the Western High School, made its initial appearance this year Octo- ber 5. The sale of this issue smashed _all prophecies, when it was found that over 500 papers would not nearly supply the demand. . The Breeze of 1921, modeled after metropolitan dailies, is far larger than school papers of past years. This year the Western Breeze, with a lively staff and Miss Grace A. Houghton as faculty adviser, intends 1o encourage all student activities and increase Western spirit. The Breeze means to be a real . school paper. with contributions from the entire school. A special feature “Student Views" column in which letters expressing students’ opinions are published. Broad-minded editorials contributed by a very com- petent staff are one of the paper's biggest features. The Western Breeze is run by the journalism classes- which have become so popular that two of them have been formed. ‘With the largest enrollment in the history of the school, the Breeze means to do all in_its power to bring further honor to Western. The stag of the Western Breeze is_as follows: Editor-in-chief, Carl Woerner; as- is the sociate editor, Helen Newman: liter- ary editors, Harry Jung, Margaret Bain; _athletics, Harley Cummins, John Espey, Judith Barnes, Louise Barnes; cadets, Robert Armstrong; alumni, Lucy Taylor; society, Jessie Adkins; humor, Mary Griffith; or- ganizations, Margaret Reese; fictiol Grace Wilson; exchange, John Wise; business manager,” William Brown; facuity adviser, Grace A. Houghton. The only “En Avant” in the Dis- trict of Columbia has been formed at the Western High School, under the supervision of Mme. Bimont, one of the instructors in French of that school. The club encourages and stimulates the study of French and is formed of students of the third and fourth year French classes whose vocabu- lary is sufficient to carry on a recog- nizable conversation in French, and allows them to present plays and programs in the “language of diplo- macy,” and whose standing merits their acceptance in the organization. Many interesting programs have been given in the past by this as- semblage, and its members have found its “reunions” of the utmost assistance in the study of French. The officers of “En Awent” have been elected and are as follo Mlle. Reese, president; Mile. Newman, vice president; Mlle. Pace, secrtary, and Mlle. Spencer, treasurer. After the election of these demoiselles, Mme. Bimont smiled a very nice smile and prophesied great things for “En Avant” during the next year. The boy and girls' glee clubs of Western High School held their first regular meetings Wednesday for the purpose of electing officers and for making plans in regard to the course of study to be pursued this year. There was a splendid attendance at the meeting—forty-five girls and twenty boys being present. The boys and girls have two separate classes and are planning to give individual and joint entertainments. The officers elected for the girls' club are: President, Ellen Stuart; vice presiden:, Evelyn Kidwell; sec- retary-treasurer, Abby Green; libra- rian, Dorothy Tschiffely. Those elect- ed for the boys' club were: President. Alfred May; vice president, Benjamin Thompson: ' secretary-treasdrer, Ed- gar Spaine; librarian, Leroy Piser. The boys and girls seem enthusias- tic over the prospects for the club this year. They are planning some very interesting and heneficial wor’ Under the directorship of Miss L Lynch, the glee club P promises to be DUNBAR HIGH SCHOOL.

The difficulty will be met by holding sepa- rate assemblies, one for freshmen, the other for the’ three upper classes. Deep disappointment will be felt when special speakers and guests are g;«;;ent and appear before one group The executive council of the ath- letic association of Dunbar met Thursday to formulate plans for the reorganization of the association. Much of the success of Dunbar's ath- letics depends on the efficiency of this organization, and the announcement of its policy it awaited with interest. The several class organizations and the literary. add - language clubs. which have been a feature of life at Dunbar, have not vet been reorgan- ized but will shortly take form and their claims for organization _sent through proper channels for official approval. % A meeting of special interest to the community was held in the Dunbar auditorium Tuesday evening, when prominent speakers attending the in- stitute on social hygiene being held in Washington were present and d: c\‘I!sed problems relative to soclal hy giene. There are about 980 girls at Dunbar this year, and the physical training department is anticipating having a most successful year with them. Plans are under way for the organiza- tion of girls' athletics, in which in- structions will be given in basket ball, volley ball, indoor base ball and tennis. At the close of each season interciass games will be held. and ap- propriate medals will be_awarded to the successful teams. Keen rivalry between the teams is expected; class spirit will be greatly increased and great physicul, mental and moral benefit will accrue from well organ-} ized athletics for girls at Dunbar. The dean of girls is holding meet- ings for the freshman girls in small zroups each Monday, Wednesday and Friday. in the school library. These meetings, it is hoped, will do much to help the girls to beécome acquaint- ed with Dunbar and to enjoy their first year in high school. COLUMBIA JR. HIGH SCHOOL. An entertainment was given Sep- tember 27 by the old seventh grade pupils of the Columbia Junior High School for the new pupils. William Kight was chairman of the reception committee, Margaret Moel- ler was chairman of the refreshment committee, Bernard Livingstone of the finance committee, and George Duane of the entertainment commit- tee. The party was a “great” success. All the eighth grade pupils of the| Columbia Junior High School gave a small informal party Monday, in or-| der to give the new pupils a chance | to become better acquainted with the pupils of last year. Numerous games were played, in which the giris in- variably beat the boys. Miss Burden, Miss Mevers, Miss Jonas and Miss Craig were foremost in making the party a success. Robert Brown was chairman of the entertainment com- mittee, Ruth Parsons of the finance committee, Roberta January of the reception ~committee, while Mary Montgomery supervised the refresh- ment booths. The Columbla Junior High School teachers plan to have many more so- cial functions during the year on the same order. Co-operation between the teachers and their pupils made the “get acquainted” party a success. The welcoming party given by the seniors of the Columbia Junior High School to the newcomers was the so- cial “hit” of the season. Through the Co-operation of the girls and some of the teachers the party was made a great success. First game a hand- shaking game. Then games were played, and last but not least came the refreshments, which were served by_the 9-B gir s This party started the “ball rolling, and since then the seventh and eighth grades have given similar parties. FRIENDSHIP CLUBS. About thirty girls from the five Washington high schools went to the Y. M. C. A. camp at Alta Vista, Md Saturday for the regular yearly coi ference. These girls were the officers of the Friendship clubs in all the high schools, some of whom had been sent as delegates to the yearly conference at Camp Nepahwin, Canton, Pa. The object of this conference was to talk over the work for the coming year, to hear the reports of the Nepah- win delegates, and to bring the high school girls cioser together. ~All three things were accomplished . through a very pleasing program. At the morning session meetings of the various committees were held to discuss the details of the work, and the recommendations from Ne- pahwin. deas for socials, soclal service, discussional and business meetings were considered, as well as new membership campaigns. The re- port of the standards commission as to the right kind of dress, dancing, etc., was accepted. * NIGHT SCHOOLS. - ° The McKinley Night School offers courses in all regular high school subjects, including English, language, mathematics, physics, chemistry and shops and drawing. These courses are the equivalent to the same courses in the day school and are recom- mended for acceptance as snch, Special classes in mechanical draw- ing, machine shop, electricity, cabinet making, sewing, cooking and milli- nery are also given.
