students at the Mattool; high school
retaliated by forming an opposing or-
ganisation to try to make out of the
girls of today ‘the kind of girls our
mothers were." ~
It was at a meeting of the Chris-
tian Endeavor Society a week ago
that Mr. McKee urged the girls to
sign pledges not to keep company
with boys who “used the weed."
Twenty-five pledges were “signed im-

The "answer.
It was then that the boys decided
something must be done. They miss-
cd seeing their sweethearts and a
number of the male students at the
local high school formed a club. the
members signing pledges as follows:
”I do solemnly afar-in that I will not
court a girl who persists in:
"Wearing knee-length skirts.
"Wearing low cut waists below the
point where mother wore them when
she was a girl. , v
“Wearing silk stockings.
"l’sing paint or rouge.
“Attending dances minus her corset.
"Pulling out her eyebrows or wear-
ing her hair inisush a etyieKso as to

Mr. McKee looks upon the boys' or-
ganization as "merely a bluff club to
frighten the girls out of their stand
against tobacco." r” ,
"It would be a good thing. though."
he added. "if something like that
could be. done. We need more girls
today like our mothers."
In the meantime.both sides are
holding firm. according to members.
And "much good is being done." ac-
cording to Mr .McKee.
“This is not a temporary movement
on the part of the girls." said Mr. Mc-
Kee. “They are in earnest." .
"So are we." retaliated the boys.
