Peckham, NATiONAL UNIVERSITY LAW SCHOOL. It is noted as an interesting fact | that a large number of representa- tives and ministers from Latin Amer. ican countries in Wahington have been educated in this city. Probably the majority of these reprcsentatives from South American countries have been educated in the United States; many of them are law graduates. In this connection it might be men- tioned that the delegate in Congress from Porto Rico, Felix Cordova Davila. graduated from the National University Law School of this city in 19 After his graduation he return- ed to Porto Rico, where he practiced law for several years; and also served as a judge of Porto Rico courts for a period of twelve years. Mr. Davila Is remembered by his former classmates as a very brilllant student and a great admirer of Anglo-Saxon juris- prudence. Rafael Oremuno, who has been prominently mentioned as a successor to Dr. Beeche as minister to the United States, also is a graduate of National University Law School. Mr. Oremuno ‘has been practicing law in Porto Rico practically ever since his graduation from law school. Several of the attaches of the Porto Rican l€gation are ncw attending this uni- versity, and as many other members of this legation have attended it in the past.

The dinner was the first of its kind in the histor; of the university. It ‘was pronounced a wonderful innova- tion, and the enthusiasm shown by al present gave evidence of the app: clation which the men of the team felt for this recognition on th ar of the university or their services on the gridiron on behalf of their alma mater. SCHOOLS EASTEEN HIGH SCHOOL. The Easterner staff had a Christ- mas party Wednesday afternoon in the drill hall of the school. A tree laden with a gift and an appropriate verse for each member of the staff was one of the féatures of the occa- sion. After the playing of Christmas games planned by the entertainment committee, refreshments were served. Dancing followed. Christmas seals to the amount of $51.75 were sold to the pupils through the school bank in the past two weeks. From dhe rings submitted by jewelers of the city for the semior class one has finally been selected by vote of the class. Eastern’s motto, “Do well. do better, do best,” is stamped on the chosen ring. A meeting of the Easterner staff was held Wednesday to make plans for the next issue of the school paper. Recent appointments to the staff are: ‘Willlam B. Roberts and Willian A. Clementson, assistant literary editors, and Alfred Goodman‘and Robert Lee, assistant circulation managers. The last bank talk before the holi- days was given by Thomas McKee at the afternoon assembly Tuesday. Mr. McKee spoke on the question, “Is It Right to Borrow Money From a Bank?” He warned the pupils that it is wrong to borrow money for mere amuse- ments. Mr. McKee justified borrow- ing for a good purpose, such as sound investments. Eastern is jubilant over the award of the H. S. Firestone four-year uni- versity scholarship to Karl G. Pear- son, editor of the Easterner. At an assembly jast Tuesday, in celebration of the award, the prize essay, “How Good Roads Are Improving My Com- munity,” which won the scholarship, was read by the author. “Old FEastern.” a history of the school from its beginning in 1890 until now, made its appearance Thursd: It was written by Miss Bertha L. Gardner of the faculty. As it contains a complete’ record of Eastern's achievements for about a third of a century, it is of great value to the school, and its alumni. Besides being a chronicle of the attainments of Eastern, it relates many interesting events which have occurred during i the lifetime of the school. Much in- terest is added by the many pictures which are to be found in the book. It is_especially fitting that this book, “Old Eastern,” should be published at this time. as within a short time the Eastern High School will move into its new home. The last alumni reunion in old Eastern, was held Thursday_after- noon from 1:30 to 7.0'clock. The re- union opened with two basket ball games for boys and girls, played be- tween the alumni and the students. After the short business meeting which followed. a vaudeville per- formance was presented by the alu- mnj from classes 1893 to 1922. The an- nouncer. was Prof. DeWitt C, Crois- sant, ‘94, who also gave a Spanish dance. A 'skit was presented by Bert- ram Foster, '94. A sketch, “The Love Potion,” was another feature. Class reunions in the different classrooms were held before the regular pro- gram. A reception to former members of the faculty followed in the drill hall. Dancing and refreshments con- cluded the reunion. Special Christmas assemblies were held for the morning and afternoon pupils Thursday. The ;program opened with the singing of Christmas carols by the Glee Club and the school. O'Henry's “The Gift of the Magi which was dramatized by Miss Moore of the faculty, was presented. The parts were taken by Mildred Boynton and John MeclInerny. Christmas waits in_costume’ singing. “God Rest You. Merry Gentlemen,” added very much to the Christmas atmosphere. A | Christmas tree laden with gifts for | some of the faculty and student body also was much employed. | | BUSINESS HIGH SCHOOL. Thursday, the last school day of| 1922, was one of continuous merri- ment at Business. Boys and girls and faculty members gathered around Christmas trees awaiting the arrival of Santa Claus with his presents, or ate candy, cake, ice cream and nuts at Christmas parties, or “looked in" on some Christmas play. < Wednesday _afternoon the Cadet Corps of Business was entertained at a Christmas party given, by the Girls' Auxiliary. About 300 students gath- ered in the gymnasium, which was elaborately adorned in Christmas dec- orations, orange and blue flags, Amer- ican” flags and evergreen. After sev. eral hours of dancing. the orchestr: played a grand march and refresh memts wer. eserved. L A phantasy. called “The Maker of Dreams,” by Oliphant Down, was pre- sented in the ‘school auditorium Thursday by the Dramatic Club. The three characters were impersonated by Beva Fish. Clarence Clarridge and Thomas Du Fief, who took the parts of: Plerrette, Pierrott and the Maker of ‘eams, respectively. The mem- bers of ' the cast were exceptionally weH selected for their parts, and dis- played real dramatic skill. The audi- ence enjoyed especially the beautiful dances of Miss Fish and ‘the songs ! by Mr. Clarridge. “The bazaar which was given by the Girls' Auxiliary of the Business High School recently was a success. Stu- dents, alumni, members of the faculty and their friends joined in the. scene| of merriment. Christmas decorations of red and green, pine, holly and mis- tletoe added to the splendor of the elaborately decorated. booths. . [ce eam and cake, candy, punch, flow- rs, fancy articles and grabs were for sale. Uypsy camps and the B. H. S. Jazz Orchestra were ontatanding attractions of the evening. = ' CENTRAL HIGH SCHOOL.
