ities is one of the ways in wihch they show their sportsmanship. The reputation of the school is determined by the number and character of the sports in the student body. If they show poor sportsmanship the reputation of the school will suffer, but if they show true sportsmanship the reputation of the school will become finer and better. Many students think sportsmanship is a term applied to athletics alone. This is not true, however, for it is a term that can be applied to every phase of school life. It is the real sport who is interested in his society and does all that is just and honorable to make that society one of the best, if not the best, in the school. He is not satisfied, and does not expect, to have the work carried on by a few of his fellow-members, but is willing to assume his own share of the responsibility. Sportsmanship is not confined to the big things, but is being shown every day in the seemingly unimportant things. The student displays his sportsmanship in the class room, in the committee meeting, in the study hall, and in his conversation just as truly as he displays it when “rooting” for his team at the ball games. The real sport is not a quitter. He does not become discouraged and cease working because he received a “D” after the mid-term exams but does his best to the very last. He is willing to recognize superiority, places honesty and fair play above victory, is loyal to himself, to his fellow students, and to his school. WELL EDUCATED. The schoolmaster was calling on an indignant mother. “For my part,” babbled the good woman, “I can’t deceive what on earth eddification is cornin’ to! hen I was young, if a gal only understood the eliments of distraction, provision, replenishing, an’ the common deminotor, an’ knew all about the rivers an’ their obituaries, the currents, an’ the dormitories, the provinces an’ empires, they had eddification enough!” A TOAST. Here’s a toast to those whose names have escaped From poem or grind or jingle or joke; We won’t tell the booby you’ve secretly staked To stop the cruel pen of the Editor folk. 10

Last summer, however, the School Board, foreseeing the coming inrush of the Freshmen, for verily it seemed an inrush, removed the old seats in four rooms and put in new desks. Then when school began, the Juniors followed the Seniors, and now, part of the Sophomores have been pushed out, and the Freshmen, once considered insignificant, and occupying perhaps eight row's of seats in front of the transverse aisle, have seized almost two-thirds of the whole assembly room. In the manual arts department, almost as many applicants for enrollment were turned away as were admitted. There are only two lathes, where at least five or six are needed. The number of benches in the manual training room is most insufficient. Conditions are somewhat different in the Mechanical Drawing room, where improved desks have taken the place of the old tables. But there are still students who have to do their w'ork at home because of the lack of room. In the cafeteria, especially during the first noon period, there is a great rush. The students have to wait in long lines, with the bare possibility of getting something to eat before the period is half over. Many students have to be at school at eight o’clock, and the periods now' are only forty minutes long. These short periods, together with some of the large classes, especially in the Freshman class, make it impossible for the students to recite every day. Our gymnasium has for a long time been inadequate. Our basket ball team has to find a place to practice wherever it can. In the fall, on rainy days, when the football team should practice indoors, there’s no practice. The locker rooms are far too small. There is a shower, where one can cool off or boil, according to the time of the year, the whim of the janitor, or if there are not a dozen ahead of you, waiting their turn. It seems that the only remedy for all these things is a new school. This we hope we shall see some day. Maybe those now in the sixth or seventh grades will have the honor of holding their graduation exercises in the new building. “Sportsmanship” One of the vital things of school life which is sometimes overlooked, is the sportsmanship of the student body. Many students think they have little or nothing to do with the sportsmanship of the school because they do not take an active part in the school activities. Those students are mistaken, because their attitude toward the school activ- 9
