THE HEALTH HABIT A boy walked up to the bubbler and in- dulged in a long drink of aqua pura. It might have been pure, clean water before he drank, but certainly not afterward, for he figured that if he put his mouth right on the bubbler, he would not have to make so much effort in drinking and also, wouldn't be obliged to wipe his mouth with his handkerchief. Pretty good efficiency as far as saving energy, but as far as san- itation goes, absolutely wrong. When told that this was a good way to spread disease, he replied, O, I'm not afraid, I'll take a chance. That's just Where the trouble is. The boy was interested merely in himself. The next person, one of careful habits, might not want to take such a chance, but can- not help being a victim of the first boy's thoughtlessness. When in public places, be careful what you do. A moment's thought might prevent weeks of sickness. If you plead the ex- cuse that you didn't know, the common verdict of the people will be, Ignorance is as bad as wilfully committing the deed. F. K. The stories in this issue are those se- lected from the numerous contributions for the Sassamon contest. The prizes were contributed by the members of the faculty and were divided as follows: First, 355.003 two seconds, 32.50 each, and five 31.00 prizes. This division of the money into smaller prizes was done with a purpose- namely to interest more pupils and to arouse a more hearty response. It is grat- ifying to note that twenty-eight stories were submitted. The basketball squad wishes to express their thanks to Mr. Archibald, for the Am- herst trip, which he so thoughtfully planned for them. The boys realize and appreciate also the fact that it was through the gen- erosity of the merchants and prominent men of Natick that the trip was financially possible. College life and its advantages may be talked about, and attendance urged, but it takes an experience such as ours to make it truly real and vital. We saw there in a Wonderful way, an example of the spirit for which we are working here. This was evident on the campus, at the fraternity houses, and in all contests. We were particularly fortunate to be en- tertained at the various frat houses. The boys were untiring in their efforts to please us. My hope is that some of the under class men may have the same opportunities that we enjoyed. Again, thanks and apprecia- tion to Mr. Archibald and our citizen friends. ROBERT ESTY.
