EDITORIAL Here is our Aurora-a record of activities in our high school for the term l92l-1922. We have tried to make the book bigger and better than those of previous years and we truly hope that we have succeeded. wk lk Ik ak We are desirous of making our school Annual show our degree of school spirit. Our school is small and, as the students come from many different sections and with varied outside interests, 'union is difficult. Nevertheless we have done well this year, especially toward the latter part of this term. Chiefly responsible for this is our great success in the line of athletics. Everyone was so proud of the teams we put out that it simply imbued each and every individual with real school spirit. I ak lk Sk ik Improvements are being added to our school rather slowly: but each year finds us a little nearer our goal of perfection than the last. This year the somewhat unsightly dirt mounds have been removed from the school grounds and are being utilized in making what promises to be a very beautiful lawn. Many more small improvements are in evidence such as the installation of new desk chairs and other school room equipment. Sk Bk ak Dk Improvements and additions may seem to us a long time in coming, but we must realize that it takes much time and money to accomplish these tasks. Our aim is to leave the school in better condition for our successors t.han it was when we entered. ik Pls ik FF In conclusion, we wish to thank the members of the staff who gave their time to the compiling of our book and made possible this Aurora for 1922.

Y All I . W Social Criminals of Shoshone Falls I 'rim' Sforv CC OU are a Social Criminal! Bess flew at him, almost spasmodically, lt was now approaching the Fourth ofbluly, and Bess Wilder, a young high school graduate of Shoshone lfalls, at the age of seventeen, pretty with her rippling hrown hair and deep hlue eyes, was inclined to he frivolous. especially at this time of year when everything for the young graduate is teeming with excitement Yes, Doss, you'll have to admit that l've found what you are. lndeed I took a medical course in high school, hut l always was devoted to my dear old civics hook, and it was in it that l found what you are. Now l can make you understand. l'm really very happy to see you hack, but l knew what you were going to say when l saw you coming, so l thought l'd stop you hefore you had a chance l Gnd no interest in my medical course, Doss. lt's really quite a failure, and Civics is only the study of Uhow man makes a living, so what can l do with only a high school educationl But now, lylr. Doss Kenyon, as l said hefore, you are a Social Criminal You are! Doss was stunned. lic was a graduate of the grammar school and also of the Boise School of Surveyors, hut somehow in his school career he had missed the study of that which he was now heing called. All that he could do was to stand there hluntly, until the hreathless girl Finished. Social Criminals are those people who take advantage of all their oppor- tunities, hut refuse or neglect to do their duties. You took the opportunity of asking me to promise to marry you. Do you see that palace over there? She pointed to her home. Now look at your home, Why, Doss, it's a mere hovel heside mine, and can't you see? You neglect to do your duty of furnish- ing a home for me which is as good as the one l now have, Besides, turning, after the celehration l'm going away to Massachusetts to Harvard, l'll never marry a man who is not my equal, With this she ran hack to her palace, and with her friend, the dear old civics hook, in hand, threw her foolish, yet wonderful little self, carelessly down on the carefully made hed, to think and to plan on what she was going to do at Harvard, Everything will he wonder- ful theref' she thought, Hand l'm going to have so many friends, l'll just forget that there ever was such a person as old Doss Kenyon. Still she wondered if she had hurt his feelings. She couldn't seem to help it, hut lPage Eighleenl
