The loss of Miss Upshaw is throughout the school. John Barrett, former director of the Pan-American Union, spoke to the upper class students at the regular assembly Wednesday on ‘“Depend- ability.” He indicated the results of the presence of dependability in the life of an individual and in history. Considerable interest is being man- ifested among Central students in the approaching “semi-finals,” a series of debates to take place soon, which will determine the personnel of the teams to represent the school in the proposed interscholastic debates this spring. The boys and girls who a participating in these are those who stood out as s| material in the “preliminaries,” last month. BUSINESS HIGH SCHOOL.

The cadet companies of Eastern have been enlarged by thirty-two new men from the ranks of the freshmen who entered last week.' The senior history class staged an animated debate in the assembly hall Monday morning. The subject was “The Spirit of Liberty in Massachu- setts.” Exceptionally good arguments were made by Margery Black, Marion Hall, Ruth Smith, Jesse Phares and Morgan Swingle. The debaters had a background of facts and figures from American history. Senior class elections were held Wed- needay. A number of candidates ran for ident, including Marion Hall, Fred eT208, Isadore Rodis and Roland Sans- Bury. The class zave a small majority %o Mr. Herzog. Students receiving offices of vice president, secretary and treas- urer were Edna Burrows, Alta Bod-| - Befmer and Raymond Hutchinson, re- sgectively. Ufhe next issue of the Easterner will appear shortly. The staff is not given to “press-agenting stunts,” and Pperhaps many are not aware of the existence of the paper. There is al- ‘ways a unique cover design and vari- ous cartoons and pictures to satisfy the art lovers. Poems and stories of humorous and serious nature are dis- gributed throughout the magazine. ‘here are any number of budding oets and authors, but special talent n that line has been given to some of the regular contributors, as Mar- gery Black, Marion Hall and Rpth Bmith. Miss Burrows makes a e- cial point of getting out interesting editorials on current topics. Other members of the staff call on distin- guished Washingtonians and former ‘Easternites and write up interviews with these people. There are many wits at Eastern, and their puns and stories are delegated to the comic column. In short, there is a happy ‘blending of the artistic, the practical and the humorous in Eastern’s “liv magazine. ‘WESTERN HIGH SCHOOL. Many new members were admitted to the civic association at the begin- ning of the new semester. Several changes were made among the chair- men of the various committees, in- cluding Alva Daughton, who will succeed William Brown as the chair- man of the “school and grounds com- mittee,” and Peter Wells, who will be chairman of the ‘“‘clean-up committee,” 13 place of Jesse Hilderbrand. inges were also made among the chairmen of the special committees. Each member of the civic associa- tion has been ed in order that money might be obtained to buy baskets and the red and white paint with which they will be decorated. ‘The students are requested to throw their trash in these baskets, which will be distributed around the school. The ome and school association drive,” will be conducted from Feb- ruary 15 to 20, when an effort will be made to obtain money to paint the school walls. After this the civic association will conduct a ‘“clean-up campaign.” John Hazel will send a petition to the car chlny requesting more cars for th® Rockville and George- town lines. These would be con- venlent not only for Western High pupils, but for the general public. A trip taken by some of the mem- bers to the District building, to hear some Americanization trials proved 50 interesting that arrangements will probably be made for the association to go in a body next month. Resolved: “That the United States government should own and control the. mines” is the subject of a debate to be before the school Wednesday.

Junior students taking the kindergarten training have added to bit stories, in which Uncle Remus’ “Brer Rabbit” has taken a leading part. Normal School basket ball team went to Fredericksburg, Va., last Sat- urday to play a match game with the team of the state normal school.

The entire Miner Normal School was thrilled and inspired Tuesday morn- ing by Miss Raymond of the Child Health Organiration of America; Miss {Julia Wade Abbot, kindergarten spe- cialist in the bureau of education, and Miss Tappen of the physical educa- tion department of the bureau of edu- cation, who' came to give the urgent message of health to the school. Miss Abbot made an informal appeal for a human teacher, a human school and 2 human attitude toward little chil- dren. Miss Raymond caught the school from the moment she floated in upon the stage exquisitely cos- tumed as “Fairy Health.” She ex- plained the various methods of pre- senting these health subjects in the classroom through jingles, charts and dramatizations. In closing the meeting Principal Eugene Clark expressed appreciation of the normal school for the helpful suggestions of Miss Abbot and for the demonstration of Miss Raymond. After the exercises the visitors and members of the faculty visited the department of physical education, where Miss Turner, the director, plained to them the charts kept by the nutrition class, composed of ail the normal school students, by which they check up weekly on their weight. These visiting ladies reaffirmed what has been remarked recently by sev- eral health experts 'that the Miner Normal School is alone in the country the operation' of a nutrition class among normal school students.

He told of its great beauty, its natural resources and its limitless possibilities. He sang several melodies also.

Mr. Hansberry, who has devoted his time to studying the anthropological aspects of the negro, visited several history classes and spoke to them upon the negro civili- zations of antiquity and their contri- butions to world progress.

As predicted last week, Armstrong drew first “blood” in the initial con- test of the interscholastic basket ball series, defeating_Dunbar in a flercely contested game by a score of 16 to 10. The usual Dunbar _surprise was sprung in the first half, when she secured the lead and maintained it to the end of this half. In the sec- ond half, with Dunbar one point in the lead, Armstrong uncovered her offensive, with the result that she rapidly assumed the lead and held it. What the result will be with Dunbar playing on its own courts Friday it is hard to forecast. In event of the usual tle-up the issue will be settled on a neutral court. The Dunbar High School of Fair- mont, W. Va.,, was hanrily defeated Thursday by a tally of 24-17. The visitors at times uncovered flashes of form that made them look like reat contenders. They were unable, how- ever, to stand the pace set by the locals. P Calls will soon go out for candi- dates for battery positions to report to the base ball coach. Armstrong has several veterans of last year's campaign, around which her veteran base ball coach expects to build a winning team. Van Harris is cap- tain, and with Sylvester Blackwell as Sstudent manager an auspicious season is looked for. SHAW JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL.

The art department of the Shaw Junior High School plans to install a series of periodic exhibits in the building. The first of the series, paint. ing this will be “African Textiles and scapist, has just terminated.
