sive service, the officers taking a vow

The first month of 1925-26
passed, and if it may be taken as
index to the whole year, a
] one may be expected. In spite of
heat, students have been
to duty with fine spirit,
both pleasure and stimulation to
teachers.
4- •> 4»
Enrollment has reached 170,
tically taxing the high school
comfortable accommodation. The
desks and chairs which have
ordered and when installed will
the situation considerably.

Monthly tests and quizzes
given this week, thus marking
boundary for' the month’s
Keenest interest centers in the

The special departments have
J excellent beginnings in their
Classes in both piano and expression
are large and interest is
; daily. Sight singing is taught in the
grades below high school and pupils
rally to the instruction with enthusi
asm.
+ 4 4*
In the high school sight singing is
discontinued and an entertaining and
attractive course is substituted, con¬
sisting mainly of learning to sing
beautiful songs, ranging from folk
to classical. New song books are
shortly to be in the hands of the
pupils, a strong point in favor of
more enjoyable chapel exercises.
4* 4* 4*
F. V. H. S. has established a repu¬
tation for singing—a prized asset of
the entire student body. In truth
chapel period is a time where all feel
sympathetically close to each other
for all “share and share alike” in the
hour; there is a flowing out of heart
to heart, a linking up with some un
known law which is vaguely known
but definitely felt, traceable to the
custom of singing together.
* * *
The library is physically and
“spiritually” at the center of F. V.
H. S. Its location makes it easy of
access, and more and more it is recog
nized as “first aid” to the student. In
comparison with similar collections of
books in other schools it measures up
well. The foundation is substantially
laid with several sets of reference
books and volumes of a similar na
ture, quite sufficient for any high
school research work. There is also
a splendid collection of standard and
modern fiction, poetry, science, etc.,
also magazines—professional, techni
ca | ; general, etc. To popularize the
“reading room” and to encourage its
constant use, study halls are held
there daily,
f * *
The latest addition to the library
is a handsomely bound copy of Web
ster’s New International Dictionary.
F. V. H. S. gives every encourage¬
ment to the use of the dictionary, as
an unabridged is found on the teach¬
er’s desk in every room.
❖ *> *5»
It is gratifying to the faculty that
every student shows pronounced in¬
terest in the selection of his course of
study. We have two courses, the clas¬
sical and the scientific, the former
requiring four years of Latin, the
latter one and four of science, both
four years of English, two of French,
also a definite amount of History,
Mathematics, etc., being essential to
either choice.

The two sections, A and B of the
Eighth grade are at their tasks like
veterans, fitting into their places
with the ease which characterizes
the well trained, admitting no handi¬
caps, on the contrary looking square¬
ly at every duty with the spirit that
can but win out.

The Ninth grade, composed of two
sections, is the smallest as to num¬
bers, but some of the choicest stu¬
dents with an enviable record for
scholarship and deportment are
among its personnel. They take up
each day’s tasks as. they come with
and enthusiasm, and hold
every promise of surpassing a
good record.

wins as to numbers, but this is not
their only proud boast. They claim
to have some whose deportment and
scholarship are matters of distinction,
but owing to the fact they are the
“insignificant Juniors,” they are will¬

Meanwhile they travel forward with¬

themselves from 1926-27 “when the

forth, definite qualifications for

standard forward are distinctive
traits. They are united in purpose to
make this the outstanding year of

morning at two o’clock, the funeral
being held here at the Methodist
church last Monday afternoon at

interment at Oak Lawn cemetery. j
A large crowd attended the funeral,
a number of Greeks from out of town
being in attendance, and many beau-'

high esteem that is felt for the fami
iy.
Two Greek Priests officiated at the
altar, saying the funeral paean, after
which the cortege wended its way to
the cemetery, where the last solemn
rites were said.
