Although the building has been occupled for a month, it has lacked that one thing— the dedication and consecration to the purpose for which it is intended. A thrill of pride was felt by the cadet officers and other students who con- ducted the visitors through the bufld- ing at the close of the exercises. A large company of citizens of the com- munity and friends of the school at- nded the official opening of new E.stern.

He showed that through a perfod of vears the number of honor students has averaged 10 per cent. Eight per cent of these were girls. Dr. Perci- val Hall, president of Gallaudet Col- lege, gave a short talk on Eastern's honor system, with which he is well acquainted. His daughter, Marion Jall, who graduated from Kastern last June, won honors at the close of every semester during\ her four-year course. The first basket ball game to be played in the girls' new gymnasium was a wordless debate on the sub- ject, “Is It Better to Be Fat or Lean?" The girls concluded that it would be well to decide the matter by playing a basket ball game, since actions speak louder than words. Although the score, 42 to 9, in favor of the lean team, does not seem to indicate it, the game was hotly contested. ‘I'ne_“debaters” were as follows: Fat team, Mary Beans, Agnes Motyka, Olive Seltzer, Sarah Rohrer, Wini- red Sponsler and Marguerite Reudi, with Hannah Stoler as alternate; lean team, Helene Hesse, Grace Weitrell, ilizabeth Johnston, Mildred Crews, Agnes Teates and Dorothy Tripp, with Amanda Clagett and Mlldred Lind- om as alternates.

It was Inter- rsed with selections by the orches- and the Glee Club. Brnest Wood- on the atfirmative, was judged the best speaker, but, as the afirma- tive. did not put up enough argmu- s, the decision of the debate was ziven to the negative, composed of Juck Halam, Dorothy Webb and Charles Minor. The debate was very favorably received by the assembly, which decided that it was both inter- esting and Instructive. Mr. Woodward, assistant principal, recently attended the annual conven- tion of the National Education As- soclation, which was held from Feb- ruary 24 to March 2 at Cleveland, Ohfo. Mr. Woodward's trip was for two purposes—to attend the conven- tion and to observe secondary schools of the middle west similar to Tech. Tech’s record, he reported. com- pares favorably with the schools vis- ited, and, even with its present handi- cap, it is on a par with the best high schools of the country. WESTERN HIGH SCHOOL. The proposed plan introduced at a meeting of the Home and School Association, providing for the bufld- ing of an addition to Western High School on the campus now in front of the school, has met with a great deal of opposition. The plans as set forth by Municlpal Architect Harris were thoroughly discussed and at a later meeting of the association, held following the appropriation required funds by Congress, this or- ganization expressed itself sa belr opposed to the erecting of the add tlon in the front if it is at ail po sible to_utilize the large space in the rear. This matter was brought to attention by a representative of tl student committee of the school, who presented to the association a pet tion signed by the committee mem- bers — asking that every possible effort be de by the Home and | School Assoclation to prevent this addition being placed In the fropt Realizing the importance of further discussing the plans in view, with the possibility of bringing about the desired change, a committee was ap- pointed by the president of the asso- cfation to interview the architect and obtain some definite reasons for the placing of the bullding on the present campus and also to reconsider the practicability of utilizing the clear ground in the rear. This committee, consisting of Clarence L. Harding, Mrs. Herbert C. Hoover, Miss Sue rdner, Mrs. Robert B. Armstrong, James Berrall, Arthur B. Heaton and S. Duncan Bradley, is to report at the next meeting of the association, to be held Thursday. The main objec- tion to the original plan is the certain loss of the campus, which is one of the principal features of the school. The following resolution was adopt- ed, at the last meeting; “Resolved, That it is the desire of the Home and School Assoclation of Western High School that the proposed addition to the Western High School building be placed {n the rear of the present structure, in order that the beauty and the dignity of the front of the building and the approach to it through the campus be preserved.” With the beginning of spring the Civic Assoclation has started its “clean-up” campalgn, which is to continue for several weeks. It is the intention of the assoclation to keep the lawns surrounding the school in excellent condition and to put a stop to thoughtless distribution of trash in and around the building. At the last meeting of the assoclation, March 9, the semi-annual election of officers was held and resulted in the cholce of: President, Beveridge M- ler; vice-president, ' Hadley Evan. secretary, Runyon Tindell and ser- geant-at-arms, John Box, Western artists will have a chance to display their artistic abilities in the spring play poster contest, which is to be conducted by the Art Club.
