Students Learn Great Value of Sandwich Dri*ve. The juniors and seniors had an assembly last Thursday for the pur- pose, of Iearning .wbat bappens ,to the sandwiches that are brougbt on .Wednesday of'each week. The dis- tribution and corisumption of these sandwiches were explained in the ex-, perienices related 'by Harry- Kinne,, Bill Nordburg, Eleanor Chichester, Ann t.inn, and J{rvey Whidden. These students, cbaperoned bv Mr. Ream, bad traced the sandwich es to their destination -Nortbwestern Uni- versity1 settlemeént, where tbey. tour- ed its different branches, studying the various lines of its work. Theyý toldl of the incredible. uin bearable living conditions near the setllement; of the bouse, whereth children receive- their only, meal of îhe day; and of. the rooms wlîere m othef# are taught how to f eed niany~ mnouths with almost nothing. They related tbeir overwhelming emotions at seeing the pitiful circumstances un- der which the workers strive to mrnin- tain a cheerful atmosphere in the settlement bouse: for instruction and recreation where many thousands have corne to depend upon those in charge for a sandwich for the evening meal. We were saddened by a description of, littie children hiding their f aces f rom visitons as they received their dole. We were shocked at the news that they carry home iuany of the sand- wiches to their parents for their sup- per. Most of the sandwiches are dis-. tributed to the scbools, where they are very welcome. Miss Wright gave a fine and stjrring speech, clan f ying the spirit in w~hich the assembly was held, and pointing out to us the odds ;Lgainst.which these brave people, are sittaËigling. lien speech and the others ended in the plea for more' sandwiches.' More sand- wiches! Please bear with us while we repeat: Wrap each sandwich separately and please don't use rubber bands. lutra mural Sports__ B mskoetbmE Class championships in eight of the nine divisions have been conipleted thus far, and play for the- school cbampionships bas bee-n koing o11 for the last week.
