Editorials
Students, what does a new semester mean to you? Merely that half a year is over and the thoughts that examinations are things of the past? Or does it also imply a new beginning a time when we should reflect upon our past weaknesses and then turn with courage and determination toward the future?
In the most real sense, the “New Year” for Cherokee began Monday, January 28, we should be grateful for what the coming semester has in store for us, for many good things have been coming our way—a new curtain for the auditorium, a projection lantern for our very own use, new books for the library, awards and prizes of major and minor significance.
Shall we live up to the opportunities thus afforded us? This is what the new semester spells most distinctly— opportunity. Let us then, with firm resolution, seek to strive and do and know, “forgeting the things which are behind and reaching unto those things which are before.
The Mythology Club, of which Mr. Lewis is sponsor, has been reading old Greek and Latin stories and are now reading Scandinavian tales.

100 Books Rebound
The Bookbinding Department of Cherokee Junior High School has recently returned to the Library over ico volumes of books which have been re-bound this year and made as good as new. In addition to the rebinding the department is equipped to label with gold letters these books so that a complete and usable book is put back on the shelves in place of those badly worn or completely dilapidated.
Splendid board back magazine covers with leather laces are made in the binding also. It is estimated that the work of the department including the bindery of the yearly issues several of the best magazines saves the school several hundred dollars each year in addition to the educational and vocational training afforded scores of boys and girls of the community. Our Junior High Schools are among the few of the state to offer such a course and we feel particularly proud of the splendid record established by the high grade work produced.
Miss Bernice C. Datson who has had special training in Colorado State Teacher's college under one of the greatest authorities in the country in this line of work has charge of the Cherokee Bindery Department.
The librarian, Mrs. Meyer, especially appreciates the work of this book bindery since it enables her to keep the shelves meat and attractive with well bound books at all times.
Club News
Expression Club Gives Plays
The Expression Club has had many good plays this year. “His Methodist Foot", and “Kill or Cure”, “The Unexpected Guest,” and “That Troublesome xmas Gift" are some that have been given.

The Cher-O-Key
Published Bi-Monthly by the Journalism Club of Cherokee Junior High School.
Vol. I, No. 1 November 9, 1928 One Cent
Mr. Grover Addresses Student Body.
Mr. Grover, Professor of books at Rollins college, returned to Cherokee Wednesday, Nov. 7, to address the subject of "Education." Mr. Grover was warmly received by the students as an old friend, for he addressed us last year on the subject of "Books."
In speaking of the importance of education to the success of the individual, Mr. Grover cited Herbert Hoo¬ver as an example. "Eighty per cent of the names in "Who's Who" have a college education," he said. "Every day in high school is worth $25 to each pupil, while a college education adds $55 a day to a person's value."
Mr. Grover then traced the growth of public school education in America, and pointed out its tendencies. A very interesting feature was a copy of an old New England primer and horn book used in the earliest American schools.
Percentages for First Period High.
Grades for the first six weeks of the school year have been averaged together and the following results were obtained: A's 8%, B's 28%, C's 39%, D's 14%, E's 5%. It will be noticed that more pupils received A's than E's. More pupils received B's than D's. Fewer people got C's than they ordinarily do. Usually the percentage of C's is about 44 %. This shows that a healthy condition exists, for most of the pupils are working hard
Journalism Club Reads Rare Papers
Jean Pettay, of section 9-2, recently brought several old papers to school which were of great interest to the Journalism Club. One was published at the time of Lincoln's death and gave a vivid account of the assassination. This edition also contains news of the Civil War.
Another is the New York Herald for April 25, 1856. This issue contains a variety of news, ranging from "most horrible murders" to "great balloon ascensions."
A most interesting copy is the Saturday Evening Post for June 16, 18¬28. It is in the form of a paper instead of a magazine. The print is very fine. A rather interesting and amusing part of the Post is a collection of very dry jokes relating to the experiences of theEarl of Marlborough. In 1828, it seems to take two paragraphs to tell what could be told in two lines in 1928.
7-1 Wins P T A Attendance
Picture
Section 7-I has for two consecutive months received the picture offered by the P T A to the section having the largest percentage of parents present at the monthly meeting of this organization. The seventh grade this year seems to be taking the lead in nearly all of our school activities. We wonder if the eight and ninth grades are going to accept the challenge offered by Cherokee's newest class?

ROBERTA BARNETT SUBMITS BEST ESSAY
Last week the Florida State Dental Association offered a prize of five dollars and a second prize of two dollars and a half to the ninth graders who were able to write the best compositions on the subject, "The Teeth in Relation to General Health." In Cherokee, the ninth grade students wrote their compositions under the direction of Mrs. Benton and Miss Mitchell, the English teachers. Roberta Barnett, of section 9-2, wrote the composition which was chosen to represent Cherokee; it was sent to the contest headquarters at Miami.
NEWS ITEMS
Ruth Wetherington of 9-3 and Shahan Kazarosian of 9-3 have made our art poster in the auditorium this year
Due to the fact that Harold Hughston captain of the sergeants, has moved from Orlando, it was necessary for the council to eiect a new one. Sammie Bethea was chosen by a unanimous vote.
The enrollment of the school year of 1928 has already increased from 450 in September to 495 at the present date. New pupils are entering almost daily and there is little doubt but that Cherokee will soon have as many as last year. Many of the sections are completely filled now.
Cherokee has already prepared a series of auditorium programs for the year, so we are assured of having some that are interesting, entertaining, and spicy. Good ones have already been put on by sections 9-1, 8-6, 7-1, and 9-6. The Girl's Glee Clud has also lent its aid, by presenting a one-act musical comedy.
SOCIETY AT CHEROKEE
The fall season has been a very busy social time for the Cherokee students. Nearly every section has already engaged in some sort of social activity during the past seven weeks. Parties have been enjoyed by twelve sections, and there have been nearly an equal number of picnics. Olivia Park seems to have taken precedence over other places as a picnicking ground, and the Hallowe'en note has been dominant at the parties.
The faculty have also had their share in social activities. Besides being privileged to act as sponsors at the student socials, they have had three distinct affairs of their own. Toward the end of September, Mr. and Mrs. G. S. Thompson entertained the Cherokee teachers at a picnic at Olivia Park. Miss DeLaney and Mr. and Mrs. Park were special guests at this time. The Cherokee faculty bridge club has held two meetings thus far.
NEW RULING HOLDS STUDENTS IN CHECK.
A new ruling, recently passed by the Board of Education, has resolved that students be excused from schools only on account of illness or for other serious matters. This ruling was passed pecause it has been increasingly noticed by the teaching force that the schools are endangered by the constant calls from different outside sources that students be excused from their classes. This, it was decided, is seriously damaging to the school system, in that interferes with systematic classroom procedure. The new ruleing purposes-to check these too frequent outside calls.
SPORTS
Due to the absence of the coach the major sport for boys, which is soccer, has been delayed. However, every section has organized a team. A tournament is now being conducted. It is an elimination contest. The loosers will play all other loosers and the winners all other winners.
New Rules Regulate Eligibility for Sports.
In keeping with some of the fundamental assumptions relative to sportmanship training and after several years of experimentation, the physical training teachers of both Junior High Schools and the Director of the schools have arrived at the following regulations:
Eligibility: all pupils earning a mark of C— or above in all regular four or five hour courses and Health shall be eligble to compete in the inter-class tournaments and inter-school contests.
Ineligibility: Pupils falling below the standard set above shall remain in-eligible to compete in such contests for a period of six weeks following the declaration of such ineligibility.
Mrs. Harrell, president of the P.T A., recently awarded section 9-I the prize for getting 100% of their parents to join the P.T.A.
The prize was a wall flower vase. Billy Davis, President of 9-I recived in the behalf of the class.
The entire school is glad to see Mrs. Meyer back again, after her illness of last week.
Humor
Startling discoveries brought to light as a result of recent tests:
A fish can swim in water because he holds his breath.
A pirate is a free government where the people make their own laws.
A smuggler is a government where the king rules.
Before a person can become a resident of the United States, he first has to become civilized.
Cherokee Observes Temperance
Twenty states celebrated temperance day on October 31, carrying out the mandatory state law that the schools observe this subject. Mr. A. M. Meyer was the speaker at the Cherokee observance. He stated that temperance in a special phase of citizenship. The school is the big business of America. One million teachers and z8 million students are engaged in the schools. This means that one fourth of our population is engaged in teaching or learning. The aim of the schools is to teach students to be citizens and not subjects. To do this, they must master temperence.
"The student who is unable to control his thinking or acting", he said, "is intemperate. Citizens who are temperate are builders rather than destroyers of character."
"What to do with your nickle?" Buy two apples in the lunch room for two cents each. Then spend the other penny for a "Cher-O-Key."
Gertrude Ginsberg left us last week to take up her residence in New York City.
