The Orange and Black; Its Future OHE Orange and Black has again enjoyed a prosperous year, for which many thanks are due the student body, the business men who gave their support, and our other friends. Several changes and innovations were introduced into the paper this year, chief of which was the return to the magazine size but retaining the newspaper style as much as possible, and the absence of advertising with the exception of one ad at the 'bottom of the front page, which carried the names of those business men supporting the O. and B. The outlook for future years at present includes a printing establishment—a feature which all progressive high schools are installing and which prove to be a success in all phases. In some small communities the high school paper also serves as the community newspaper. Many high schools publish weekly papers; others, semi-weekly, and a few, daily papers. The natural and logical step for the Orange and Black would he from the monthly to the semi-monthly edition; thence, in time, to the weekly publication. One notable feature evident in a good many school publications, which we have received, is a tendency toward the newspaper style and away from the “joke-book” idea. Instead of a vast conglomeration of second-hand jokes, and a faint scattering of school notes and athletics, the school paper is beginning to-fulfill the true functions for which it is intended, namely: the publishing of news of interest to the high school, providing a medium for the exercise of literary and journalistic talent and endeavor, and to promote-school spirit by keeping the students interested in their school. At the State High School Press Conference,, held last March at the University of Colorado,, the Orange and Black was represented by two delegates. A state press association was formed and is now the Colorado Division of the Central Interscholastie Press Association, an organization composed of over four hundred high school publications in the United States. We were admitted to membership in both organizations. With this honor as an incentive and with the constructive criticism and aid furnished by the C. I. P. A., the Orange and Black has an enviable future before it, and, providing that it has the whole-hearted support of the student body and an energetic, tireless staff, it can easily become of the first rank among high school publications. Essentials of Manliness Y ERBERT Spencer, the great scientist, JL| once remarked; “To play billiards well is the mark of a gentleman, but to play billiards too well is the mark of a misspent life.” How true such a statement is, and yet a great many people go on and on spending their time and energy altogether too liberally in popular sports and other diversions. Too often we see young people of high school age who are tempted to follow the lighter physi-

Speaking is silver, silence is golden. Childish games. They said that they had just drank a gallon of “Hootch” that Charlotte Bergner had made for them from a Peck of Raisins that Harold Burgess had raised in California and sent down by Hazel Edington. 1 found them very uninteresting; so I went over to a lovely garden which 1 had seen from a distant e. Ruth Coffman. Kenneth Tolley, Amy Ashley and Ruby Blann were planting sweet peas, and I asked them where I could find the other members of the class. They told me that Glen was in the Tartaric regions doing everlasting penance for fitting people with shoes that did not fit them. I asked them what his punishment was, and they said that there was a long road; that he had to begin at one end and Slip and Fall to the other end thirty times a day and ten seconds off to study Spanish. They said that 1 would find Mattie Jenkins somewhere close to the little Martin that I had seen in the early part of the afternoon, and that Herbert Haines was in his office preparing the final issue of the “Devil’s Blackmail,” a publication put out by the Seniors of the match-making department, and that, as his assistants, I should find Rita Brandon and Gladys Huckstep. I found a shop on the way to the newspaper office and it was being run by Wendell Ridley. Strange to say, his punishment for flirting in the upper world was that he must speak and conduct himself like a Jew; so, when 1 went up to him, he said: “I sella evreyting. You want von book to Read? Or maybes you wish a De Long and Lank Ford for which to take Irene Beardsley or Sue Saunders a ride. I would paint them Green for you also yet.” And, as 1 turned to go, he called me back. “Oh and Yes, you vill find some good-looking Jaynes clown here; they are bether-looking even tan de ones in the upper woorld.” As 1 went out I met the Barbour, and he asked me if I wanted a hair cut; he said that the women in Hades all wore their hair Bobbed. I told him “No,” and went over to a place where I saw a beautiful Bower of Roses, under which sat Helen Higgins and Ray Sutton and Evelyn Roberts and Henry Stark. 1 did not wish to disturb them; so I passed quietly on to where I saw a Workman talking to Kenneth Neish, who 1 had been told was in c harge of the Devil’s largest coal mine. They were talking about the bank failure, and 1 stayed to learn the facts. It seemed that Harvey Tupper and Ruth Chee-dle had started a bank, but that they argued so much that they lost their trade, and, finally, after the Woman’s Vigilance Committee had reported them thru their able assistants, Madge Fritze and Merle Olson, they had had a run on the bank and it had failed. I almost wept as I heard the sad news; but Wendell Ridley came along Ful-ler Hartzel-ers’ Eskimo Pop, and he cut such capers that I soon felt quite gay again, and, as I saw him mistaking Green onions for Daisies, I fairly doubled up with laughter. The Angel of Death came along then and told me that a committee, headed by Margaret Burroughs, had voted that I be doomed to outline six English books for the writing of the Senior Short Story, and I was led away to my doom. —Alwilda Callaway.

With this introduction, I would like to write briefly concerning some of the essentials of manliness, which is a so intended to include womanliness. One of the essentials of manliness is an abundant vocabulary sufficient to express one's views clearly, concisely, c-leanly. convincingly. Our democracy demands of alt its citizens that they should be facile in public speaking. In the home, in school, in the church, in our social life, in common conversation, in business life, in community building and in ail affairs of staJte it is highly important that all who desire to contribute anything to the group to w'hich they belong or who desire to become citizens who are to be reckoned with in all civic and social questions must prepare themselves so that they can use the English language effectively. Tidiness in speech, precision in choice of words, and power in speaking are the qualities that cannot be learned in a day. To be able to speak our native language correctly, fluently and elegantly means that we must devote a good many years to earnest study and faithful practice of the art. Many evils -that harm young people are due to incapacity for interesting conversation and lack of taste for reading and music and worthy uses of leisure, which should be a special object of education at home and in school. Swearing and slang both indicate poverty of language. It is partly because of poverty of words that there is too much spooning and skipping feet and “cheek to cheek social fellowship. Lips that • an not talk do too much kissing: and holding hands becomes necessary when one cannot hold a friend by conversation. Men a.nd women go to brutal prize fights and the like because they have not learned the finer boxing and fern ing of repartee. Time is wasted at sentimental movies because folks do not know the art of good talking. There is nothing more delightful to real i eople than good talk, if they have intelligence and are capable of it. Another essential of maniness and womanliness is courteous independence. The manly man does not say “yes, yes to everything heard or proposed, like the me. too of Po-lonius. in Shakespeare, •who agreed with him that a ertaln cloud looked like a camel,” and then changed his mind when Polonius, on further examination, opined, It looks more like a weasel, Me Too said, “I think it looks like a weasel.” The manly boy or man does not follow the crowd, but oftener leads it: or, if not. dares walk alone, in wiiat be believes to be right. Captain Richmond P. Hobson laid the foundations of his military and moral leadership In the Naval Academy when he endured a boycott of his classmates because he stood for a clean life. Thayer's “Life of Roosevelt tells of the way in which Theodore Roosevelt met the peculiar temptations of university life. He went to college with the fruit of the quiet but firm teaching of his parents, “with a body of rational moral principles which he made no parade of, but obeyed instinctively.” The result was that he was never betrayed into folly. He was never fooled into mistaking novelty for truth or libertinism for manliness. Purity is essential to manly strength, as Tennyson hints in that line about the greatest of King Arthur’s knight. Sir Galahad: My strength is as the strength of ten Because my heart is pure.” A third essential of manliness is up-to-dateness in important knowledge. A man in the most up-to-date clothes would advertise
