: SCHOOLS. CENTRAL HIGH SCHOOL. Lacking the official sanction of Prin- cipal Robert A. Maurer, Central High School this year will not hold its an- nual excursion down the Potomac. Mr. Maurer points out that conditions have made the time-honored event imprac- ticable. A debate on the question, “Re- solved, That Congress should adopt and submit to the states the equal rights amendmgnt,” was held by the upper classes Wednesday. - The affirmative side, upheld by Alice Haines, Christine Tassett, Margaret Sommerville and Mildred Brown, was declared the win- ner. Agnes McElroy, Katherine Lacy, Frances Randolph and Norma Johnson supported the negative. The judges were Miss Sarah E. Sim- mons, head of the high school English department; George J. Jones, head of the high school history department and Miss Anne McColm, teacher of English. The annual presentation chapel has been postponed by Principal Maurer until the first week in June, because several of the “C* sports will not be over until that time. One_hundred and thirteen students made E's in their major studies during the second advisory, and their names have been placed on the school’s honor Toll. Of this number thirty-four are in the eighth semester, two in the sev- enth, seventeen in the sixth, five in the fifth, twenty-three in the fourth, six in the third, seventeen in the sec- ond and nine in the first.

The two staffs, to show that they | appreciate the vaiue of such an affair, nd to make it a real success, are arranging a varied program, some- what in the style of the famous Grid- iron Club dinners. With the help of Mige Robinette and Miss Murray the people are planning stunts, take-offs, toasts, other amusing numbers and a few serious talks to make the even- ing well divided.

The class of June, '22, at Tech is giving a play on class night in lieu of the exercises which generally grace the last social activity of- the school year. This course was decid- od upon as the best possible, because it would seem unfair if only a few ‘members of a class could participate in the exercises, especially when there is so much dramatic talent to be utilized. - e The play is Lady Gregory’s “The Dragon,” a fairy fantasie in three acts. The scene is laid in the palace of an old Irish king, representing a long time ago in the days when people still believed in fairtes. The cast includes some of the school's popular dramatic_favorltes. Phil Holmes has the title role. Ot ers are Leight Barber, Laura Vande: cook, Alison Denison, Cathérine Ma thews and Tennyson Myers. Some regret was expressed when it was discovered that neither Oscar Shaw nor Max Walten, both of whom held principal parts in the spring play, were not to take part in the play. This play is the last distinctive ef- fort of a class which has since it was first organized endeavored to make itselt stand out from other classes. The Shakespearian pageant, writ- ten by Miss Sarah Simons, head of the English department, was given by Tech last Thursday. Those who layed leading roles 'er&; Denison, as kespeare; _James hisman, as Touchstone; Ruth Russel, as the Shrew, and Leight Barber, as Pe- truchio. ‘The pageant was a combination of short scenes from some of Shakes- peare's comedles. It was titled a “Fantasy of Mockery and Mirth” and lived up to its title in every way. EASTERN HIGH SCHOOL. Eastern enjoyed one of the most spirited assemblies of the year Tues- day. The purpose of the assembly was not only to encourage the stu- dents any teams for the game with ‘Waestern, but also to present, unofii- cially, the new .colors of the 3d Regl: ment of the Cadet Corps. The ceremony, while informal and fficlal, was most impressive.

This will be a speclal graduation and drill number. Pictures of the graduation class and the cadets will be a feature. MINER NORMAL SCHOOL. On Friday afternoon the student teachers of the kindergarten depart- ment and children of the practice kindergarten presented a program showiag the varlous (Ypsl of activ- ity in which small children engage. Some of the special features: Selec- tions by the kindergarten orchestra, games, songs, rhythms and pantomine by the children, games and an In- terpretive dance by the junior kin- dergarten students. This was followed by an informal entertainment by the Domestic Science and Kindergarten clubs in the evening. The guests of the evening, faculty members and friends, entered with great enthusiasm into mes and dances of “ye olden day! tol- lowed by conventional dancing. This soclal was the culmination of a project of the home economics de- partment. Every detall had been carefully planned and executed by the students themselves—estimation of expenses, statement of the invi- tations, preparation and serving of the refreshments, etc. During the week the psychology classes have prepared and conducted a series of true and false examina- tions, testing general information, for grades three and four. Each test has been followed by the pupils studying a graphic representation of their achievement, with the &im of making improvement a class project. In conjunction with the departmen of psychology the English depart- ment initiated a series of tests for juniors, using the Trabue lan scales. The plan is to give a of tests on succeeding morning: graph results and in so far as is possible to make diagnoses and to determine remedies. DUNBAR HIGH SCHOOL. The Debating Club closed its season Monday afternoon when the junior and freshman classes competed for the school champlonship. These two teams, winners in the previous de- bates, discussed the subject of the immediate removal of the Unifed States troops from Halti. The judges, Miss Lucy D. Slowe, J. A. Lu Valle and G. E.C. Hayes, gave a unanimous decision tg the freshmen. The two teams were: James Henry, Lenoir Cook and Robert Weaver, freshmen; Jullus Carroll, Joseph Carpenter and Theodore Botts, juniors. James N. Saunders, in charge of debating, an- ticipates a good season next year, due to the nucleus furnished by this year's debaters. Charles Drew is considered one of the greatest high school athletes in this country. He has been a con- sistent performer in all branches ot sport—foot ball, base ball, basket ball and track—for four years. He 1s an end and will start for some east- ern or western college for the next' four years, thus bringing honor to Dunbar and to the race in general In base ball he is a good batter and can play almost any position, his forte being catching. In basket ball his play has featured nearly every game Dunbar has played. A fine shot, excellent guard and center, he should have no difficulty making his alma mater team no matter where he goes. In track Drew has brok 11 rec- ords for the running high fump by leaping 5 feet® 10 inches at the recent Hampton meet, thereby setting & mark that has never been reached by any high school athlete in the Dis- trict of Columbia and which, it Is be- lieved, would win him a place right now in most college meets. He can put the shot over 30 feet and can broad jump over 20 feet. The track coach ‘predicts that in time Drew will rank among the premier athletes of the country. Danfel and Mias Rebecca Shanley spok: > . Another lflufl, ‘was held Wednes- in celebration of the victory over Western. Excitement over the “win"” was especially marked. Ear! G. Jonsher and Mr. Boteles of the alumni association outlined plans for the alumnli excursion party, which will take place June 16 at Marshall Hall, and which, according to plans; will be the largest affair of its kind ever undertaken by the school. The Merrill Club girls of Eastern High School have added considerably to their “shack budget.” On Friday and Saturday, May 19 and 20, a suc- cessful (financially and dramatically) vaudeville entertainment was staged. The program was divided into” two or afternoon chapter, the second by the “A. M." chapter. The “P. M. girls made a great hit with their Russian dance and eastern navy. The costumes in both were very effective. The Russian dancers followed @ black and white color scheme ‘relieved th bright sashes, while the rollicking navy girls wore white middies with black ties, white skirts' and white sailor hats. The girls were ably led by Edna Horner and Isabel McGhan, who did tha Sailors’ hornpi, The A. M. girls' main featurs was & schoolroom scene. All the gITls were dressed as little children and sang amusing kindergarten songs.

A few Eastern boys were called upon to contribute to the program. Between acts Lelgh James and John Voegler entertained the audience with songs. - Mary Kirby and Raymond Hutchinson were very amusing in the song, “A Baby In Love.” “Three O'Clock in the Morning,” as sung by Phoebe Atkinson and George Galla horn was an added attraction. Ru belle Blanton gave a dance to the “Spring Song,” sung by Anna King. This was regarded the most suc- cessful play ever given hy the club. With the large sum of money made, the purchase of a shack is now al- most a reality. ‘WESTERN HIGH SCHOOL. A letter to the Civic Association of mext year, telling of the difficulties encountered by the present organisa- tion and giving suggestions, as to how they might be avolded, will be formulated at the meeting of the association Friday. Edythe Buckler, secretary, was instructed by the president to draw up a letter for the consideration of the class. The ques- tion of compulsory taxation was dis- cussed at the last meeting, but it ‘was decided to leave that question to next year's association, since the members belong to the civic and eco- nomic classes, and thelr assessments must be voluntary. Telephones, pwitchboards and oper- ators were the main attractions at the assembly Friday, when Mr. Wa- ters of the Chesapeake Telephone Company explained the telephone sys- tem as a whole. An operator gave a practical demonstration of the use of the switchboard, which was con- sidered very interesting. Telephones were passed around the hall and con- versations carried on by the pupils, after which Mr. Waters answered questions asked by the school. The student committee has been working with the alumni_association on its plans for, Alumni day, June 2. On this date an ssembly will be held, at which there Will be speakers from various organizdfions of the school to let the alumai know what has been accomplishec this year.
