REPRESENTATIVES 9B Girls' Representatives, Jill Coff- man and 8B Girls' Representative, Rosemary Neiswender, Let us wish them success through- out the year. a.h Left-Handed Sports Interest Girls + The girls, gymnasium classes are attempting something new this sem- ester. They are endeavoring to be able to use their left leg and left arm as easily as their right. This accom- plishment will have many advantages. For instance, when one is tired of performing sometask with her right arm or leg, she can change to her left and use it less awkwardly. Then, we are likely to overdevelop the right side of our bodies. This will tend to equalize the development. USE YOUR TICKET A11 boys or girls my obtain admis- sion to the Coliseum to see any of the games on presenting your stu- dent body ticket and twenty-five cents.

Page 6 LA TORRE October 16, 1934 Thrif t a...:. ttThrift For Travelii Most people want to travel, but most people don't have money on hand to travel when they want to, if they do not save it. Save your money now and see the world later. Thrift, the Doorknob to Success A certain man in this town started saving when he was young. He had to help support a family, but yet he saved all the earnings he could, He bought a horse and started peddling fruit. He still saved his money. Now he owns one of the largest fruit com- panies in America. He just built a sixteen room home with a swimming pool. Save your money and you will succeed. Please do not deprive your family of money if they need it to support you. If you have the money to save, save it, if your earnings help support the family give it to them. Don't be a spendthrift, yet don't be a miser. Save your money for a rainy day, but don't count your money and plan ahead how to gyp somebody so youlll have five cents more to your account. Keep this in mind: Ability to Save Shows Character. h, ,-T,.-9. Why I Take English i...- I take English to improve my speech. It is very important that we speak good English, as strangers al- most always judge us by our con- versatiou. To write correctly is almost as important as to speak correctly. This is another reason why English is a good course. A person at some time in his or her life has to write a docu- ment of some kind even If it is only a letter. If correct English is not used it may mean the loss of a job or social standing. A third reason for an English course is to learn about good books. Reading is a very common pastime and if you know something about books you will get more pleasure from them. Through books we are able to have experiences that we would not have otherwise. For in- stance, we would all like to go on journeys to far off lands. For many of us this is impossible. However, we can do the next best thing and travel through these foreign lands by read- ing books. Meeting different types of people and having thrilling adven- tures with them are all to be found in stories. Reading good books broadens our appreciations and builds charac- ter, eAnne- Roberts Edgar Worth Visits Europe h..h. My mother, father, sisters, and I drove from our home in South Pasa- dena to New York. There we shipped our car and boarded the steamship, HManhattan , and began our trip in full swing. On the other side of the Atlantic We landed at Plymouth, England. There we spent about a month visiting as many famous and interesting places as was possible, in- cluding many visits in Scotland. In Lpndon we saw the guard changed before the Royal Palace. At Edinbor- ough we visited a cemetery exclus- ively for world war dogs. From Eng- land we traveled to France where we saw the Geneva Peace Palaces both old and new now being built. At Ver- sailles we saw the palace where the famous treaty was signed. We next traveled to Switzerland where we vis- ited at Lake Lucerne. Here we thought, was the prettiest place we saw. We traveled in our car to Aus- tria where we had slight trouble with the Nazi and only went twenty miles in the country. We next went to Ba- VJaria, where we saw the Passion Play at Obei'amrnergau and then Hamburg, Germany. There in Ger- many We Spent two weeks. From Ger- any we traveled to the Scandinavian countries where we visited friends in Dalarna. In Denmark we visited most of its islands. After visiting our friends we drove Sweden, where we sailed for New York on the steamship Gripolm. While on the sea, we rode the tail end of a storm for three days. One night while eating dinner we were drenched by a wave that hit the side of the boat and entered the portholes of the dining saloon. After landing in Amer- ica, we went to Canada and then back in the US. to Chicago Where we spent three days at the Worlds Fair. We also visited the White House and the capital buildings. In our trip of seventeen weeks We visited ten countries, counting a short stOp in Mexico, and drove 20,000 miles in our car without a blowout. tEditors Note: From Switzerland Edgar brought a wood carving for his homeroom t104l, This is on ex- hibit with other souvenirs in the li- braryJ to Gothemburg, y Tea For Mothers By 7B aaof The annual 7B Tea for Mothers was held in Room 121, on the after- noon of September 26.

The program consisted of a vocal solo by Lonie Spence, accompanied by Dick Hucks, a piano solo by Phy- llis Daggett, and talks by Principal Baker and Miss Robinson. i .Viih,-- American Liberty aTO: Mr. Hoover has asked Who may define liberty? Liberty to me means the light of each individual to do what he wishes when it does not intertere With what others wish to do. For atter all there can be no rights without a respon- sibility as to the right of other people. Our government was organized to promote justice and the geneial wel- tare, to protect the people, and to in- sure liberty for those then living and for those to come, and to make a bet- ter Union. The justice desired by the organ- izers of the American Government was a justice for all. They realized that unless the gov- ernment gave justice to everyone, protected everyone, and concerned it- self with the welfare of everyone, it could not survive and liberty would perish, This liberty included the free- dom of religion, and freedom of speech and all our cherished liberty of today. When the boundaries of liberty are overstepped America will cease to be American. In every generation men and wo- men of many nations have died so that the human spirit might be free. Our country is no exception, and as the spirit of liberty is not dead in not die America, our people will again to preserve Freedom. Sue Sherrill 9B-202
