They acted stories familiar to all children, Little Red Riding Hood, Hansel and Gretel, Little Black Sambo, ondas, the Tongue- Cut Sparrow.

Ella Morgan, Teacher. l The offer of Chinese Minister Sze, to establish a memorial at Central High School to Miss M. Ella Morgan, has been accepted by the board of education. The memorial is to be an oral English room and will be known as the M. Ella Morgan Me- morial Room As yet no definite plans have been made, but it is thought that they will follow on these lines. Chairs with broad arms for writing will be arranged in the form of an arc so that the room will seat nearly 100 persons. A small stage will be erected suitable for dramatic pre- sentations. A soft board, will be put on the walls so that literature and works of art may be displayed. Probably stained glass will be put in the windows. A memorial tablet will be placed somewhere in the room. All this is being given by the Sze family. When Altred Sze, now min- ister of China to the United States, went to old Central, Miss Morgan was one of his teachers. He gained her affection as did the other members of the Sze family. They resided to- gother for quite @ while, Miss Morgan aiding them in every way. She was almost a member of the family. Last year she died after many years of service to Central as a teacher of English. She was so loved by her pupils that they are placing in the halls of Central, a permanent me- morial of cost not exceeding $5,000. Rifie Teams Active. Last week held much that was of interest to rifle fans, for it marked the first stage of* the three weeks given over to the “girls' high school national championship match.” Cen- tral's girls are out to win first place especially as this is the first time that such a match has been held. The shooting is from prone and standing positions. Like true Centralites, the girls are pleased with nothing short of the best, and se, while the scores of the first week might be considered good, they were only partially pleased. The prone scorgs were' fine with three possibles and four ninety- nines turned in by the four girls who shot. The off-hand scores were dis- appointing because they fell below the practice average. The only really {g00d off-hand shooting on this occa- sion was done by Lucy Evans, who scored an §3. Those who were quali- fied as high five were: Louise Evans, 183; Dorothy Laterner, 177; Elizabeth Fallon, 174; Annette Hord, 174, and Elizabeth Griffiths, 174. The team av- lerage was 176.4, which the girls hope to raise at least several points this week. Many Oratory Entrants. The Star's oratorical contest is now | well under way.
