S CENTRAL EIGH SCHOOL. ‘With one play just behind it, Central ean now look forward expectantly to.the excellent performance annually givén by the students of the mechanical drawing department, who are preparing their annual show to be given in comnection with the mechanical drawing exhibit at the school on the night of June 17. Lord Dunsany's play, “King Argi- menes and the Unknown Warrior,” Is the vehicle which is now in rehearsal, and for which many costumes and much scenery are being laboriously construct- ed by the students of the department. Lord Dunsany's plays have always been favored at Central, having nearly always | been the choice of the annual mechani- cal play. and the weird grandeur of his settings and characters is a source of unlimited delight to Centralites. The cast will be headed by Wiley and Evans. and there will be about thirty tn support, constituting one of the largest casts ever assembled for any Central production. Every person connected with the pla: from stars to stagehands and from dl s 10 scene shifters, is actlvely con- nected with the mechanical drawing de- partment. The purpose of the play is primarily to create something of inte: est for those who may attend the e: but who are especially interested chanical drawings. And the pur- ¢ of the exhibit is to place before persons Interested the work of the stu- dents of the department, that 1t may be of help to students in securing posi- tions in this line of work. Doors will be opened at night of the play. at 9 and last_until 10, after which another hour will be allowed those who wish to make further examinataion of the work. Admission will be by card only. which may be obtained from any member of the mechanical classes. :30 on the dramatic stars, editors. cheer leaders nd others who have done excellent work and won honors for Cen- tral during the past year will be given due credit for what they, have accom- plished in presentation chapel, which has been set for May 31. This chapel is alway! On this day Debaters, the longest of ear. 'C's™* presented ball, track. swimming, tennis. rifle and base hall teams. Medals presented by the alumni association will be given members of the dramatic and debating f the publications’ staff: All the cups which the various teams have captured will be presented to thi teams’ captains, who in turn will pre sent them to the school. Central's girls' rifle team has tied for first piace In the Astor cup match. This was the girls’ first entry in this matc in which both boys and girls from over the United States compete, and the team shot a score of 1,000 out of 1,000. The five girls (since only the five highest count) shooting “‘possibles’ were is Thompson, Peggy Umbaugh. Esther rohan, Sylvia Carrigan and Thelma Winkjer. The other five, since ten shot. were Edna Kilpatrick, Sophia Waldman, Sallie Burklin, Helen Stokes and Katherine Wattke. All thanks are due Wal'er Stokes, who provided the excellent guns, the good ammunition and the matchless coaching. One of the most interesting and ex- eiting war gam-s that has been played in the series was between Campanies H of Western and F of Central. Both of these companies had very strong teams and naturally the game was onme of keen interest. The team from Western had had much practice during the year and had won all of its practice games and in the preliminaries. The Central team. under Capt. Parry, also had much practice. but had not been so successful in its practice cames. although it had won in the preliminaries as the Western team had done. EASTERN HIGH SCHOOL. The Radio Club of Eastern High School, under the supervision of Mr. Flury. Instructor of physics, is becom ing theroughly familiar wi he techni- cal side of the science and is soon to utllize !is knowledge in receiving and sending me@sages.

The Merril Club presented an attrac- tive program at the Emmanual Parish Church in Anacostia Friday evening. It embodied both opera and vaudeville. fur- nished by members of the club and boys of the school. The senior dance Friday evening at 1141 Connecticut avenue proved both enjovable and profitable. The evening was stimulated to success in the acqui- sition of an exceptional orchestra and in the presence of full-fledged devotees of the dance. Possibly the feature of the evening was the competition for the distinction of being the best couple in the waltz. The honors were awarded to Miss Rollins and Mr. Davie. At an assembly Tuesday C. J. Schwartz discussed the first annual com- petitive battalion drill and urged the presence of the school at the exercises Monday, when Eastern's 1st Battalion, 34 Regiment. will take the fleld In an attempt to capture the loving cup for the school and help bring the gold medal to Maj.

Newton at a brief assembly Tuesday. Failure to enroll inow will posaibly mean that there will jnot be enough room later. The dance given at the Cherrydale ! Vacation Lodge Friday by the Friend- {ship Girls proved a great success. This club is now planning to give a play in order to raise the money neces- sary to send delegates to Nepahwin, & summer camp in Pennsylvania.

Following the business of the meeting. the members wrote the Spanish equiva ents for the objects visible about them. They then attempted to give the popu- lation of various Spanish-speaking coun- tries, but the task proved difficult and led to a variety of guesses. Ivy Bruce and Billie Cass were the winners of the first and scoond games, respectively. A walk through the woods followed the serving of refreshments. Clara Stewart wili be the chairman of the meeting Friday. BUSINESS HIGH SCHOOL.

He urged the boys and girls to go to college, pointing out the fact that every boy and girl can fin way. In summing up he said: “De side what you want, stick to if; Bacri. fice pleasure for it, and you will win.’ After a very successful t ball season, which resulted in the fourth semester team winning the champion. ship, the girls under Miss Sanerlin's direction organized a tennis club, which is thriving.

This flood-tide period of public appreciation has arrived, in the history of the Packard, with the advent of the splendid new Single-Six. : The reception accorded this new Packard is far and away the most significani and outstanding fact of Packard development. It is infinitely more than merely a'new registration of Packard prestige—it is literally a conquest of the nation in a larger and more universal sense than ever before. Everywhere this new Packard is the outstanding figure, stamped with the seal of unmistakable leadership. Three times the capacity of the great Packard plants is being called for—many times the ability of branches, distributors and dealers to supply is being demanded. It would not be natural or human if the Packard Company remained unmoved by this overwhelming bestowal of public favor. Faithful throughout the years to the highest standards it was possible to conceive and apply, it is good to see ¢ the steadfast recognition of past years blossom and flower into still greater national leadership. - There are more good thing: things—to be said for this new Packard Single-Six than we would care to say in this announcement. - But why, indeed, trouble to sa§ them in the face of this e splendid ovation? * . 7 0 We can only pledge ourselves to do all in our power to . = the end that as few as possible may be disappointed in R their desire to acquire the new Packard Single-Six. : .
