From recent instruction in parliamentary procedure the senior class had realized that in our own schooL there is serious need for [, better unc.erstanding of its operLtion.
Occi;lsions arise fotT the use of p~rliar,18ntary procedure vJhen the business of our various organizations and assemblies ·is conducted. Parliamentary procedure is the best procedure to use because it is ~ medium through which order, courtesy &n~ justice, &nd the rule of the majority, and the protection of the rights of the minority become guiding principles, E.nd 10YEtlty, cooperation, and harmony the ruling spirit.
For ordinary business the method of voting by viva voce may be employed, tut for elections, balloting is in general use. An instLnce in which the latter method was effectively used took place when the staff officers for the school paper were elected.

THE FRESHMAN CLASS OHGANIZES
Our .t'reshman Class is quite a large class this year and it seems to be nec.rly saturated with talent. ArJong us Vie find musicians, lively jokers, athletes, llancers, 1mblic speakers, romance seekers, and even the old maid type. That, my friends, is variety.
The n'J.'alent Show1l which our class is sponsoring will bE; the talk of the cmnpus; At le&st wa hope so.
Cleemingly the Freshmen he,ve applied themselves very ailigently to the very he&vy curriculum. Evidently e[:ch has come with an honest purpose and a strong determination to d u e,ood. The ChlSS as Cl ,~hole );las been hic)lly cOILl}Jlir.lented on its genen,l behavior and prompt-ness.
