IMMUNIZATION
GIVEN TO SCHOOL CHILDEN
Independent
& Township Districts
Supply
Toxoid for Program
Diphtheria immunization reached the 100% mark in Nichols Public schools
when
Dr. V. O. Muench administered toxoid to all but 8 school children
Monday, Oct.
28. Of these eight, two were from high school and the
remaining six from
the lower grades. Of these, all had been previously vaccinated or were
to be cared
for privately. One hundred and two were given the toxoid, 95
being school
children, six faculty members, and Clarence Hillyer, janitor.
The Nichols Independent district and Pike township school board paid
for the
toxoid and thru the cooperation of Dr. Muench, local physician, the
immunization did not cost students residing in Pike township
anything.
Others were taxed 25 cents for cost of services.
This step, which has been taken to safeguard the children of this
community,
will aid in the prevention of a diphtheria epidemic here.

Spartans
to Present Tiger House Friday
Thrills,
Chills, Giggles
To
Reward Audience Fri. Nov. 8
On Friday, November 8, the Spartan play cast will present Robert St.
Clair’s
thrilling mystery comedy entitled “Tiger House,” at the Nichols School
auditorium.
This clever mystery play which has been played by more than a thousand
schools
after a long, successful run on the professional stage, is laid around
an
isolated country estate called “Mystery Manor” because of the alleged
hauntings.
Erma Lowrie, a young shop girl, has inherited the estate from her
eccentric
aunt, and according to the terms of the will she must occupy the house
for the
period of one year. Erma’s cousins, Arthur Hale and Oswald
Kerins, her
living Aunt Sophia and Peggy Van Ess, a former girl friend, are all
house
guests when things begin to happen! And then – well, you must
see the
play to learn of the mysterious details. There is a
delightful thread of
romance, clean and highly-amusing comedy, and, although the mystery
element
dominates, there are no dead bodies, no shots fired and nothing really
gruesome.

The Alpha Omega Literary Society play cast able presented the comedy,
“Playing

be
complimented for their good presentation. Door receipts were
$51.95 and
expenses were approximately $20, leaving about $32 profit.

acts. Margaret Holdeman, in representation of the cast,

Keep
Well
With winter almost here colds and sore throats are already beginning to
make
their appearance.
Everyone has so much to do these next few weeks that no one wants to be
handicapped with a cold.
Too often a pupil comes to school when he should be home in
bed. One may
not wish to miss school, but by staying home a day or two, we would not
only
get over our colds sooner, but there would be no danger of others
getting it.
*
* * * *
Plays
With the Alpha play over and the Spartans about to present theirs, many
of us
are wondering what benefit a student receives from taking part in a play
Of course such things are a means of raising money for needed
equipment, but
that does not come first. The training a student gets in
expression
through movements of the hands and body as well as vocally is much more
important. He learns to overcome self-consciousness and
stiffness.
Through taking part in a dramatic production some defects in speaking
clearly
are often corrected.
Aside from the beneficial value, plays are fun.
*
* * * *
Progress
How different is our life today from that of our great
grandfather’s.
Farmers did not use tractors, there were no automobiles, no electric
lights and
radios. Man had not yetlearned much about controlling
energy. Work
was done by hand or with the crudest of machines.
It is only in the last twenty-five years that scientists have learned
to know
and to use such sources of energy as electricity and radio.
What will the next twenty-five years bring?
*
* * * *
A man is rich in proportion to the number of things he can afford to
let alone.

HIGHLIGHTS
Mystery surrounds the preparations for the Spartan play. The
entire stage
set has under-gone a complete change. Strange actions of the
cast tend to
excite much curiosity from the rest of the student body.
A fairly large crowd attended the Alpha Omega play given Saturday
evening
October 26. Saturday seems not as successful as Friday from
the size of
audience standpoint.
Cupid seems to be hovering over N.H.S. again. His new victims
are L. P.
and H. S. The arrow he shot at our freshmens girl and junior
boy, of an
earlier issue, appears to have had lasting effects.
Dorothy James has been secured to do the typing for the
Nicholite. She is
a graduate of Brown’s Business College.
The crunching of peanuts and crackling of paper didn’t prove very
conducive to
soothing the nerves of the Alpha play cast or the faculty.
Steps have
been taken so it won’t happen again.
Is our sophomore boy Charles Elder over putting on the class.
For
instance, you should see the swell wrist watch he has been sporting
around. Even Mr. Bellamy noticed it, and asked the
time. Charles
didn’t know, and our deceived instructor discovered upon further
inspection
that the watch was only a very good ink drawing. Sophomores
did you know
we had an artist in our midst.
Well, well we have a new light situated on the south-west corner of the
gym
building. Our talented janitor Mr. Whitie Hillyer and Mr.
Pucker Stephens
installed it.
The boys seem to be rushing basketball practice lately.
Whenever the gym
isn’t being put to other use you can generally find a crowd of boys
shooting
baskets after school. Keep up the good work boys – practice
makes
perfect.
Last Friday morning the students of M.H.S. would have appreciated it
had
somebody suggested a slumber party. What! You don’t
know why?
Oh, now you recall that the night before was Hallowe’en, and many of
our high
school students attended the mid-night show at Muscatine.
This appears to be the season for carnivals. Oct October 30
Atalissa held
one, and Crawfordsville gave theirs November 1st.
The date of
the Nichols school carnival is November 22.
Pictures of the different school groups were taken several days
ago.
Those pictures are to be shown on the screen the night of the carnival.
Give me grass to live above worry to marshal the forces of my mind and
spirit
to face facts and be their master.

Room Review
This grammar room has completed Hallowe’en decorations and is making
November
posters about Thanksgiving.
We have established a book report schedule for the entire school
year. We
are to read nine books during the year. Most of the students
have
completed their second book report.
The seventh and eighth grades are working on Self-Testing Drills in
arithmetic. We are keeping a class progr4ss chart to show the
average of
each class. So far the rating of both grades have been
between eight and
nine. We are hoping before the year is over to get a rating
of ten, which
is the highest rating possible.
The seventh grade is making relief maps in their reading class as a
class
project. The best maps will be exhibited on the bulletin board
Last Friday morning the grammar room listened from ten until ten-thirty
o’clock
to Walter Damrosch’s music hour.

A masquerade high school party was held at the gymnasium Thursday
night.
L. B. Smith received the prize for the best costume being dressed as a
fisherboy. Ula Green placed second dressed as a
clown. Many others
were dressed as people from other lands, old women, gypsies and
anything you
might expect to see at this sort of a party.
A grand march was the first event of the evening followed by games
which were
word-games and a soap race won by Keith Vetter. Dancing and
fortune-telling
also were enjoyed. Miss Balzer, Ralph Borgstadt and Bernard

Geometry
Practical geometry, which the sophomores are now studying, can be seen
every
day no matter where we look. If it is at the sky there is the
sun, a
circle. At the school are pictures in shape of rectangles,
squares and
various other things. Even the lass in your windows are
examples of
practical geometry.
Many students as they enter theie sophomore year wonder of what value
geometry
is. Our present land-measuring system came from the
Babylonians about
2000 B.C. which was about the first use of geometry.
Architects, engineers, painters, designers and others who create things
make
much use of this study.

Hallowe’en
We’re all afraid for last Thursday was Hallowe’en. We only
hoped no one
was scared severely, especially a few of the short people in school,
for if
they were scared out of seven years growth, well, they’d just be
shorter
still. At any rate we had a high school party in the

At a recent Spartan play practice Jean, the girl who chews gum
constantly and
talks fast, got one of her speeches slightly mixed. Instead
of “Say,
camel pretend you’re a desert well and dry up.” She said,
“Say desert
pretend you’re a camel well, and dry up.”
John paid so much attention to Jean’s speech that he said, “They will
get the
camel before long,” instead of “They will get the tiger before long.”
Ula wasn’t to be left behind so instead of telling the cast a tiger was
roaming
