Red The an> Blue Vol. I. DECEMBER, 1911. No. 3. Packard Lecture. On the 28th of November Mr. Alton Packard gave a most delightful lecture on "Uncle Sam's Folks/' illustrated by sketches. Mr. Packard started by drawing a realistic picture of Uncle Sam Wilson. Just at this moment a citizen of our town arrived who bore the same name as the gentleman on the sheet, whereupon a murmur of suppressed laughter rippled over the audience. Mr. Packard showed many types of people in this country, one of the most noticeable being a girl in a pink hobble skirt and with the "Broadway wave;; in her figure. The next was a picture of the girl on the silver dollar. In drawing a circle for this picture Mr. Packard elicited a round of applause, as the circle was as perfect as if drawn with compasses. The finishing touch to an evening of wonderful drawing was the depiction of a sunset. An old couple stood on the walk leading to their cottage looking at the beauties of the sky. During the lecture Mr. Packard gave several songs, and some very amusing stories. He was never silent, chattering even while he was drawing. Literary Society Officers. The following are the officers who were elected for the literary societies in our school: TWENTIETH CENTURY SOCIETY. President—Martha Christy. Vice-President—Louis McMaster. Secretary—Edna Miller. ATHENAEUM SOCIETY. President—Margaret Venning. Vice-President—Marion Connelly. Secretary—Clara Patterson. This is inserted for the benefit of a few of the knockers in High School who are continually knocking everything and everyone they come across: Overlooking the Good. We keep so busy watching for mistakes the foolish make That we seldom notice him who does his best; When a brother yields to weakness we are always wide awake, Everybody hurls a lance against his breast. We keep so busy looking for the evils that prevail That the good receives no notice and no praise; We pay so much attention to the foolish that we fail To notice them that walk in wisdom 's ways. We keep so busy thinking of the follies of the weak That we overlook the merits of the strong; Having learned to take for granted what is good, we merely seek A chance to point our fingers at the wrong. —Chicago Record-Herald. One of the Freshmen in our school, John Fast by name, met with an unfortunate accident while playing basket ball at the Y. M. C. A. John tripped and fell heavily on his right arm, and sustained a bad break. Dr. Shanor was summoned and attended to the arm and John was taken home. Now John is with us again, but of course he is still unable to use his injured arm.
