New York, Feb. y —You cannot
wander the town now without run
ning into manifestations of the debu
tante season, currently in full swing.
IFrom the silver spoon set come odd
and terrifying tales.
There is no elderly clucking these
days over youthful naughtiness.
Adolescent drunkenness departed
with the hip flask and the new gene
ration of boys and girls frown heav
ily on all tipsiness. Oldsters who tip
ple too freely in tap rooms where the
young folk gather receive frigid
stares of disapprove Ifrorn the colle
giate crowd.
1 dipped into one coming out party
the other evening and for a IRtie
while thought 1 hud entered a board
of estimate meeting so solemn were
the merrymakers. Boredom is a cult
and whoever violates it faces excom
munication. A giggle or a whoop can
disqualify an otherwise personable
girl or boy.
THE INVITATION !}IST
The party was being held in the
ballroom of a fashionable hotel. My
18-year-old friend who had smuggled
me in made four inquiries before he
discovered the name of the hostess.
He had simply been included because
he was of the proper age, family and
college on one of the big lists sold by
professional party throwers who
handle such affairs.
The lovelly buds whose papas spend
$5,000 to SIO,OOO on the parlies which
present them to society in New York
can rarely name more than a few
guests at their pa. lies. The idea, is
to get an impressive stag line and
name lists of eligible young men
bring as much as SSOO dollars. Sec
ond-grade listings sell for half as
much and there is even a third-string
list of reserves.
The hoys whose names appear on
these honor rolls arc generally cyni
cal about the honor involved. They
get 15 or 20 invitations a week, to
cocktail parties, balls, leas and every
other type of society shindig. If they
accepted half of them they would
head straight for drunkards’ graves,
to say nothing of dancing themselves
into padded cells meanwhile.
One party was assured success not,
long ago by a special trained dispat
ched to New Hnven with a blanket
invitation to all Yale boys to attend.
Some of the hoys Ignore th cbids in
which they are not interested and
others blandly carry groups of un
invited friends to affairs which pro
mise good music and a good time.
This custom resulted in a pary tto
which 500 invitations were sent out
ending with an attendance of 1,500.
Charlie Journal, the night club head
Waiter, tells me he can spot a man’s
social background when he I)as seen
him dancing 30 seconds. Certainly
the collegiate crowd is the most con
servative of trippers.

AN UTOPIA WITIUN SCHOOL
What do you and you and you get
out of school? I can almost hear
you answer back “Nothing but what
is in a book.” Would it sound too
impossible if I were, to say that that
is only half of what you could got
if you only tried? I don’t mean just
prepare your lessons properly, recite
them and forget ’em; 1 mean get the
good old school spirit, support the
school In its every undertaking, and,
above all, get to know your teachers.
They aren’t just terrible creatures
who are there to *'oss you and make

TODAY’S HOROSCOPE
This day indicates a fanciful and
sensitive disposition, given to think
ing and talking on supernormal af
fairs. There is a somewhat inhar
monious tendency, but with an un-
Mercurrent of usefulness. Several pre
achers and writers have been born
under these aspects. The nature is
simple and unostenatious, yet possess
ed of aspiration, and capable of
great good.

you learn your lessons, they are hu
man and, being human, believe it or
not, they are interested in you.” Find
out what kind of people they are,
know them personally, try to under
stand them and their attitude towa”4
life. I know that every member on
the faculty, without a single excep
tion, is anvious to know you, help
you and guide you. They are really
interested in you as an individual and
would welcome an opportunity to-dis
cuss things with you and to come to
a common understanding of our com
mon problems and of each other. The
best part of it al is that they are
willing to meet you more than half
way but they will not trust them
selves on you, therefore the first move
toward such a wonderful friendship
must come from the student. Just
think how much better and more prac
tical an understanding of everyday
problems they have than you, yet
they are wiling to imparl this know
ledge, which is more valuable than
anything found in a text book, to you
free of charge. Such a friendship
would broaden your outlook on life
more than anything else in the world
and may I ask why you'cheat yotr
self out of this golden opportunity
when J is yours for the asking? What
a Utopia a school would bo where
there was a mutual understanding
between student and teacher! How
much more could be accomplished
in such an institution and how much
more we would get out of life!

Would you be willing to spend

You have already made the annual
gift of the class to the school, so that
leaves all the rest to do with as you

been calls for things to put in the

THE MAN IN THE MOON
Our belle on Belle Street had ’em
on a string Tuesday night. Just doz
ens of them. There ought to be one
catch in the bunch.
The freshman on Chavasse Avenue
seems to be a modern Bluebeard who
breaks the hearts of al. At the ball
he spent most of his time with Mrs.
Bird of the freshman play.
How many times a week does the
driver of the green Austin go to Ox
ford? Could it be the girl that the
Dabney Road senior took to the ball?
Possibly* Possibly!
The junior president sure goes to
the tourist camp a lot. Venus said
that quite a few go there, though, so
maybe its not serious.
Did you see that little “Bitsy” owl
at the President’s Ball?
With Valentine’s Day not far off
there ought to be some good ideas.

Committees Are Hard at Work
Let us look into the junior class
and see who are the committees work
ing behind the scenes to make the
junior play a success.
For selling advertisements we have
Billy Powell, Fred Hecht, and Ellatd
Yow. We are especially grateful to
these boys for their splendid work.
The ticket committee consists of
Meredith Watkins, and H. M. Row
land. We expect great things of you
two.
•Os course we need someone to ad
vertise the play in the school and
town. J. H. Murrell, Mary Carrol,
and Ruth Branch have charge of this
We know they are at work because of
the “Charm- School" stickers seen
floating all around.
The stage committee consists of
Alvin Farris, Elvie Turner, and Mary
Frances Williams.
Wedding Bells
Mary and Jack lived in Paris. It
was the day of their wedding, aM
they patiently waited in front of the
Church for the (Du) Priest. Mary
was five feet in Hight and wore a
Blue dress. She carried a bouquet of
Flowers Ann in her hair she wore a
Rose. Jack was very Young and was
known to all his friends as Harrison
(Harry’s son), the Goodriche man.
For years he sad owned the silk Mills
but now he sells Hamm.
"Tick, tick”, went the clock, and
the groom became more nervous.
“To be Frank,” he said, “the priest
has Dunn us wrong.”
"Peace!” said the bride, “May he
never come.”
Moral: Time waits for no one.
SHOULD WOMEN BE EDUCATED-
Come and hear Professor Bevans,
MacKenzie, Boyd and Simpkins give
their views on the education of wo
men. They will tell how the princi
ple o fthe news paper and theatre can
be applied to education. Come, bring
a friend and see how easy it is to
learn to be charming.

The owls have elected their spon
sor after a slight delay. In electing
Miss Bethea they showed the same
good judgment that they did in elec
ting their officials. I wish you all

Now for some really “hot” news!
Nope, you’re wrong the scnooT Ctdrr’t
burn down but something nearly as
important is coming—the sophomore
play! So watch for it. You can’t
afford to miss it.
We said we need a new school! One
has to be ultra-modern to have run
ning water in every room and a real
swimming pool in Miss Cordle’s room,
Miss Kyle’s room, and also the study
hall. If any of you run short on
room in your ffrigidaire, be sure to
leave perishables in rooms 1,4, 6, or
study hall. Unique? Stue we even
have rats to eat up the waste paper,
but unfortunately .they seem to like
the text books better.
Hurry up “Coop” and get back to
your sophomore (column—we need
you.
A NEW SCHOOL
A new school for Henderson— at
last it has arrived. Just what you
have been looking and hoping for, for
quite a while. We may not got a
new high school in Henderson, but wo
will have a new school— “The Charm
School.” The formal opening is to
be Thursday night, February Bth, at

Editor—Bill Scoggins
Reporter—Brgsie Mae Johnson
Many of our freshmen have been
out of school because of sickness dur
ing the cold spell—hope you will all
be back soon.
Hobby Furman, our class magician
is back in school, after an absence of
several days. Bobby’s absence is due
fb his eating an assoitment of fine
glass, which he couldn’t digest.
In order to improve our freshman
column, now additions have been add
ed to the freshman staff. By doing
this our column will be divided into
different parts. We intend to hold
the following pupils responsible for
their assigned duites. Each Wednes
day morning the following pupils will
meet in chapel during the home
room period:
Society Editor; Bessie Mae Johnson
Assistants: Alice Whitmore, Flor
ence Smith.
Jokes: Bobby Furman.
Assistants: Jpanita Stainback, Mau
rice Capps:
Sports Editor; Bill Scoggins.
Assistants: Frances Daniels, Hill

WITH APOLOGIES TO ALICE
“he time has come,’ the Wolves
said, ’to talk of many things.’ ”
A treat is in store for Tevety am
bitious member of the Dramatic Club
It has something to do with Cheshire
Cats, Red Queens, Humpty Dumpties,
Alices and other such fascinating
what-ever-you-might-call-them. It is
a contest with a prize, an essay with
a motion picture, a blooming rose
with only the tiniest of thorns. What
does all that mean?
Miss Morton has obtained for the
Dramatic Club a book, “Alice in Won
derland,” which will be awarded to
that member of the club who writes
the best essay on some phase of the
movie, “Alice in Wonderland,” which
wil be in Henderson sometime soon.
The book is autographed by Charlotte
Henry, the “Alice” of the movies, and
is illustrated by scenes from it. It is
quite a worthwhile goal in the race
for the best essay, and it is hoped
that a large number of boys and
girls will try for this old favorite of
all, both young and old.

Mary Sue; I'll help you with that
English. I’ve got it all here in a nut
