The club has often secured speakers who have addressed the school on popular themes that are closely related to school life and activities. We believe these popular addresses have in some instances made a lasting impression and have been well worth while. What we are much concerned about now is what this organization shall bring to pass during the next school year. A good beginning has been made and those who are in charge of the club next year will be responsible for the success of the movement. A program has been outlined, the purpose of which is to awaken a friendly spirit of rivalry in scholarship and athletics. It is up to the students to get back of this movement in an enthusiastic way and so raise still higher the standard of our school in all its different lines. This program, which consists of a contest carried on the entire year by the four different classes of the High School, is published elsewhere in this issue. Every one should read it over, so as to understand it from the first. This has been approved of by those in charge of the school, so will be put into effect as soon as school begins next fall. The class which succeeds in earning the largest number of points by the end of the school year will be declared the winner and'Vill receive some appropriate prize, such as a bronze plate or shield. Then different individuals, in whatever class they are, who earn the highest number of points will also receive some trophy. In this way the individual standard will be raised, as well as the class standard. The best time for these prizes to be given out would be Commencement day. These points are divided in such a way that the class or individual which wins must do so by good work in all lines. In this way one cannot win by physical or mental prowess alone. A grand total of 100 points will start the contest in the fall. This will be given to the class which wins in a contest, such as a tug of war or a bag rush. So be on hand next fall to help your class win the 100 points. The Boosters Club has commanded the respect and enlisted the interest of the school in that it has earned and wisely expended $2,851.11 during the past year. If the club would continue to hold the respect of all and win increased favor during the coming year, it must not only raise a considerable amount of money, but it must use this money wisely and effectively. It is a source of gratification that the story of the club’s activities has gone to other schools of the state and has won the approval of wide-awake faculties and students and has awakened a desire for a like organization. Grand Junction High School may be proud that it has taken the initiative in so popular and practical a movement. Our successes this year present a strong appeal for yet greater activities in the years to come. Those of us who are leaving regret the parting from our capable faculty and body of students, and we would commit to you this wonderful opportunity and great responsibility in your next year’s school work. Five-Dollar Reward H REWARD of five dollars has been offered by the Boosters’ Club for the best name which is submitted and chosen for the following school spirit program. This is open to all students, and all names submitted must be in soon after school starts next fall. The following program has been worked out to increase the standard of the school, the class and individual in scholarship and literary abilities, as well as athletics. Especially does it develop the individual, for the class is depending upon each student to do his best, and only in this way will a class win. The contest will begin in the fall with the Class Rush, and from then on students will be kept posted on the standing of the classes by a bulletin board or chart which the Boosters’ Club will have in charge. The club will supervise the contest and HI RNETTE DII.I.OX Bert” Pomp and Circumstance. WALTER FORRY “Snapperback Football (3) (4) Operetta (3) Minstrel Show (3) Sgt. at Arms (4) Treas.

We go in there a great deal of the time knowing nothing about the day’s lesson. Our instructor wears herself and her patience out trying to pull what little we do know out of us. We term her cranky at these times. A few enter into a discussion, speaking so low or just to the teacher that the rest cannot hear, or don’t try to do so; they either sleep or carry on a conversation with their neighbors. We are bored to death and heave a sigh of relief when the bell rings to pass. So; let us change our ways and make this class the most interesting of the day by good strong team work. Most of us are in the habit of bringing to the class just what is required of us—no more. The more preparation and individual responsibility that is put into our school work the more interesting it will become. If we fail to prepare our day’s work, it too often means that we are too lazy to make the effort. What athletic team would tolerate a member who was too lazy to get up to play? Like the lazy one is a student who does not volunteer to share his knowledge because he is not required to recite, though offering it would add to the interest of the class. When one of us is called upon to recite, we often just make a statement of facts. It is all right, perhaps, but to some it means nothing. Why not explain your statements? They would be much more interesting and therefore remembered longer. We lack individuality and independence. We show this by making an effort to say what we think we should say, rather than what we really think. We all make a great mistake by not reciting for fear we may not be right. This is not showing the team spirit. Because we are afraid of making mistakes—afraid to ask questions,— many suggestions of value are lost and many points of importance are left undiscussed. The habit of laughing that some of us have when an individual makes a mistake, or asks a question that to us seems simple, has a tendency to add fear to the person, who in time will refuse to recite. It is a breach of courtesy on our part and shows very poor taste. A hypercritical attitude, either of amusement or contempt, creates an atmosphere that makes good team work almost impossible. It is such little acts of unkindness, discourtesy or inattention that rob work of its pleasure. Those who indulge in them should realize that they are taking time from someone who may wish to put it to good use, even if they do not care to do so. Our instructor has her moods as well as we do. She has a great many different qualities of ability and preparation to meet in the class. She is aware that the brighter students of the class are bored when she is trying to get the best from the dullest student. The more brilliant students should remember that they are not the only ones in the class to be considered, and that it is their duty not only to advance themselves but also to help the teacher to encourage the duller student. Team play always means subordination of self-interest to the general welfare. By practicing these steps in team work we can learn kindness, unselfishness and courtesy and find interest in our work. It is not only our instructors who should be courteous to their students and their opinions, but students should be courteous to one another and to our instructors. By following this suggestion, I believe a greater interest and pleasure would come from our school work. —Marjorie Paige. The Boosters’ Club of This Year and Next believe in the Boosters’ Club because it has contributed much to the fine school spirit of our High School. It has frequently had charge of the assembly meetings, and these meetings have awakened a great deal of enthusiasm for various THERON BORSCHEI I. “The Mamma’s Boy.” HELEN BIRDS ALL “Amelia” Operetta 1 (2) (3) (4) Glee Club (1) (2) (3) (4) Vice Pres.

The class officers will be responsible for an accurate account of all points the members of the class make, and they will be aided by the faculty and officers of the Boosters’ Club. Following is the program as it has been outlined, giving the number of points made and, in some cases lost, by the class and by individuals. It would be well if each class would have a bulletin board of its own. In this way the classes could do more advertising and the contest could be carried on in a more business-like way. After reading the outline over, all will, no doubt, understand the plan. All points made by the class during the year will be added to the sum total of points which the class has and in this way the class which has the largest number of points will win.
