The high school students first as­ sembled in the auditorium fo r the opening exercises. Miss Carrie Rife, t}m High School Principal was the first speaker, who introduced the in­ coming Superintendent, Mr. H. D, Furst. He, then, in a ,most pleasing manner, addressed the Students and also the teachers, each o f whom made interesting talks. The remaining part 'of the forenoon was used fo r registration o f the high School students. School was dismissed at noon. . On Tuesday morning Rev. W. P. Harriman gave a very interesting and appropriate talk in, the chapel to the high school. Also, Mr; J.* S. "West, member o f the Cedarville Board o f Education, , made some very interest­ ing remarks, followed by Mr. Ross. Chapel will be held every Monday, at 9:00 A.

Half o f the high school students are in class while the other half have their luhcli. There were two outstanding reasons fo r adopting the continuous session plan. First, it relieves the crowded condi­ tion during the noon hoUrs and, sec- : ond, It makes the schedule more flex­ ible, by providing an additional class period. This plan is being practiced by many schools throughout Ohio, espec­ ially where overcrowded conditions exist, such"as we have here.' In some cases students in the same family, who go home fo r lunch, may not have the same, noon period, but in families thus affected, it is hoped that the parents will take into considera­ tion the advantages that this method has over the single noon period. This year the Board o f Education has made provision for a commercial course. This consists o f Typing, Shorthand and Commercial Arithme­ tic, which includes Bookkeeping. This course gives high school students, the advantages o f preparing themselves for business. Any one graduating from high school with only a year’s work in these courses should be pre­ pared to do office work. Many stu­ dents trained in this type o f work are able to make their way through col­ lege by part-time employment in office ,work, Mrs. Mary Lane, o f Xenia, is in charge of the Commercial instruction. She is employed fo r the fofenoon only, four periods, but this gives ample time fo r all o f her classes to meet. Mr. Fred Saumenig, o f Springfield, will again offer private lessons in in­ strumental music. He plans to devel­ op a first class band. Each Wednes­ day Mr. Saumenig will be at the high school fo r instrumental instruction. Mrs, Mildred Foster Will be here on Monday and Thursday o f each week to teach vocal music in both grades and high school. A girls* glee club, boys’ glee club and chorus will be organised under her direction. The College trill continue to have both observation and practice teach­ ing in the High School. Observation by Collage students Will be made dur­ ing the first period after noon, 12:46- 1:30. Practice teaching can he ar­ ranged fo r any period. Organization o f various extra-cur­ ricular-activities has not yet been Completed. Further announcements concerning the school program will lie made.

William A, Sunday, Evangelist, addressed about 3,000 people Wednes­ day afternoon gathered around a tent at the Clifton Presbyterian* church Home Coming. * The Evangelist was in his usual high spirit, and instead o f delivering a sermon, launched into a genuine campaign spech that was spectacular throughout, imploring his audience to oppose the election o f the Democratic nominee, Gov. Smith, on his wet re­ cord. The speaker opened his address by stating that he was going to do what he could to defeat the Tammany can­ didate, not hecause he is a Democrat nor a Catholic, but because he is friendly to the1boose business. He also predicted that Smith would never be elected and he gave the following reasons: ■ “ First, hecause he is a Catholic in a proteStant country.” “ Second, because he ,is a wet in a dry country.” “ Third, because he is a Tammanyite in an honest nation.” By this/ time Sunday had discarded his coat, tie anti collar and launched into his talk with all the force pos­ sible. . “ I. am against Smith because he is.: wet. If Smith was dry and Hoover, wet, I would fight Hoover just as hard as I intend to- fight Smith.!’ The country is facing a great crisis .and it is no time to stand for. political parties. Prohibition is the greatest moral issue the world £aces today' and the enemies of prohibition were characterized as much traitors’ as Benedict Arnold. Raskob, a wet Republican, was next attacked as •having gone to Smith. Being , connected with a motor con­ cern Mr. Sunday stated that working people' could not buy autUomobites Were it not fo r prohibition, “ Prohibition ^ a political ’ orphan, deserted by its mother .the W, <3, T.
