Miss Draper Gives Illustrated Lecture Is Feature of
Le Circle Meeting
Francaise
The regular meeting of Le Circle Francais was held in Miss Grenels' geography room Thursday evening. November 20. The main feature of the program was an illustrated lecture by Miss Draper on some of the famous palaces and cathedrals which she had seen in France. The members of the circle enjoyed the lecture very much, and also, the observance of French customs in the conversation which followed the lecture. Each member enjoyed the meeting and felt as if those who were unable to attend had truly missed an educational opportunity.

Metal Vocal Cords Restore the Speech Artificial Larynx Prepared R. R. Riesz
by
Metal vocal cords are restoring the power of speech to persons who have become mute. An artificial larynx which, when attached to the throat functions in all respects like that of nature, is one of the latest productions of scientific research, according to a research report issued by the Engineering Foundation. The new artificial larynx, prepared by Dr. R. R. Riesz. of the Bell Telephone Laboratories, New York, is a thin metal reed, clamped at one end and free at the other. It is attached to the windpipe by a rubber tube and coupling pad. When air is expelled from the lungs and directed through this larynx, it sets the metal reed to vibrating, and the speaker, by the ordinary motion of tongue, lips, and throat muscles, transforms the vibrations into speech. So complete is the mechanism that by a simple adjustment one can change the pitch of the vibrations, producing the tones of either a man or a woman. The instrument is thus adapted to use by both sexes.
EL CIRCULO ESPANOL The regular meeting of El Circulo Espanol was held Thursday night in the Music room. The meeting was very informal due to the fact_that songs for the next time were practiced. Senorita Nichols entertained with some highly interesting tales of her summer at Middlebury where she took courses in Spanish. Senorila Lillian Rhodes, formerly president of the circle, returned for a visit and played while the members sang Christmas carols in Spanish. Plans for the next meeting were discussed when the rush classes will be invited and a Christmas program will be given. This next meeting will be the biggest and best of the year.
VIRGINIA ED. ASSOCIAT'N HOLDS RICHMOND MEET The Virginia Educational Association will hold its annual conference in Richmond during Thanksgiving week.

Among the prominent members of the board are: Miss Cornelia S. Adair of Richmond; J. L. Borden of Bedford; Miss Lucy Mason Holt of Norfolk, and H. D. Wolff of Petersburg. It is the object of the General Assembly for 1930 to equalize opportunity throughout the State by instituting a standard term of at least eight months in all the schools of the State, white and negro. Speeches will be made in the convention on this .' subject and will give especial regard v to tax distribution in the State.

At that time the freshman quartet made its first appearance which was quite a credit to the class. This quartet is composed of Misses Ruth Atkins. Sue Yeaman, Margaret Murray and Mildred Solomon. They sang an arrangement of "Annie Laurie", a Scotch ballad. The soloist of the program was Miss Sue Yeaman. "Sylvia" by Oley Speaks and "The Little Damsel" by Ivan Novello were her selections presented at this time. The aims of these programs is to promote a deeper appreciation of music throughout the student body, they are well on their way toward accomplishing this aim. The "little cutest girls" in school entertained the "big cutest girls" in school with a pajama party in front of a big open fire. Did they have food, Yes!

fdilotial Our Thanksgiving Though the One custom of Thanksgiving has evoluted, that same spirit of happiness and thankfulness will remain on forever. We. too, thank God for his kindness during the past year, so happy are we to be here, so happy that he has kept our loved ones safe, and so happy that there is a future dawning for each of us in our profession. From year to year, our methods of celebrating this harvesting finish of the Beason changes slightly. Here at S. T. C. we include sports in this day of rejoicing. We make this day —a happy day by attempting, and accomplishing a true sense of loyalty and sportsmanship among the classes. We tight for our colors, but we fighl a true battle in our attempt to hang our colors high. After all above green and white, and red and white there floats another color purer, more beautiful still—our school color;- blue and white. We are true to you, class colors, and thereby we show our loyalty to our school—and school colors! And on we go rejoicing—rejoicing for the bigger things that life gives US, and rejoicing, too, that we have a class, a school— and honor to light for! Thanksgiving time we are thankful for you!

Through the medium of their children's interest, parents from every school in Prince Edward County and in some of the adjacent counties were very recently brought together This gathering of parents at the Hook Week program on November 1"> was only one example demonstrative of a beautiful spirit of harmony and cooperation existing in parent-teacher relationships.

Maybe Budsey Carter won't fall now on her midnight rambles—or does she ramble? Who am I thinnking about? You know, I think Jane Brown is swell and for two years I've been thinking she was only the same as I and I learn now that she is a senior. Well, more power to her. She deserves all that's coming her way. What's all this I hear about Evelyn West teaching or coaching? Wish I had brains enough to make a little extra cash that way. And Katherine McAllister—well, her fortune telling is too good. Why Ann couldn't sleep last night because of her coming sorrows; Dot because of her long-nosed lover-to-be, and I can't sleep because I'm supposedly plotting against someone.

CLEO QUISENBERRY Cleo is manager of basket ball for 1930-31. She is very capable and knows her sport thoroughly as shown by the splendid work of the College High team, which she is coaching.
