HIGH SCHOOL No. 9 Special Literary Number Starr King Pupils Visit Our School + Our students ,body ofiicers played host to the executive board of Thomas Starr King Junior High School re- cently. These student officers spent an afternoon inspecting our building and visiting classes. They were en- thusiastic in their praise of the work- inspiring atmosphere and spirit of fiiendliness in our school. They were particularly impressed by our beaut- ification prOgram. These boys and girls from Starr King visited us after our own student 'bodyihad spent an afternoon at their school. Our officers found a number of good things being done at Starr Kng which we might adopt with modifications. Chief among these was the idea of Control Day. Every Tues- day they have what they call tiSilent Passing Day. They have their safety committee members stationed around the building to see that the pupils do not talk.

WW, 3A,, H-.- that Constitu-es Good Ameiican Citizenship , G- .w Every Citizen should have a genuine interest in the affairs of his govern- ment. This interest should not be merely theoretical but should he thnr- oughiv practical. There are certain dngnite ways in whir-h the interest of the American citizen manifests it- self. Through these he recognizes cer- tain duties and obligations. First of: all, he finds the necessitv f0 ahiding by the laws of his nation and state. The laws are made by and for him. and in msoheying them he defeats his own piimoses. Before I 1 began the study of government I Page 11 . tContinued on Literary N umber La. Torre's policy is to pub- lish productions of merit from regular class activities together With school news items. This number, however, consists chief- ly of the more literary efforts of our junior high pupils, with Nancy McFarland acting as ed- itor. ' The annual poetry number will come in May. We are proud of the ability shown by the boys and girls whose material ap pears in this number. eWarren Beebe 9A Ed'itor-in-chief A Flyis Eye View v-k- tiEvolutiGn of Life was ti e title of the pictures shown to M1. Davis' and Mr. Cooney,s science classes re- cently. These pictures portrayed how mankind originated according to the evolutionary theory. 011 c of tho highlig hts of the picture was the figure Of a man sawing wood photogrenhed through the eye of a fly, thereby enabling us to see things as a. fly would. The students were highly amused to see a. trained 11y juggle tiny Hy furniture with his legs and sit or: a small chair and eat from an equally small table. Another interesting part of the pic- ture was the portrayal of a group of ants busily removing a twig from the entrance of their home. These pictures were enioyed by the students because they differed from anything they had ever seen before. One- Act Plays Friday Evening -.- On Friday evening, April 12, the three' dramatic clubs of the junior. high will present an evening of one act plays.

After some discussion how- ever. it was decided that ice-skating - would be better. All the corridors and sidewalks around will be flooded for an ice skating rink. We Will all be. furnished with skates and also several regulations. These are as follows: 1. Nothing but skates are to be worn in the halls. 2. No one person may go alone without the stlong support of two others. 3. The ice must be furnished by the students entirely. W.A.

Vanderlip -0-0+ Feeding the Mind --o-o-o-- itBooks are the food of the mind, said Lewis Carroll. In his essay on Feeding the Mind he compares literature as the nourish- ment of the mind to food as the nourishment of the body. He stresses the importance of feeding the mind the proper kind and amount of food. Indigestion results from theconsumption of indiges- tible foods. Cheap literature and too much reading rob one of men- tal health rand appreciation. As your body needs a well balanced diet in preper amounts, so the mind must have a proper reading diet. As food must be chewed thoroughly to make it available to the body so must we properly masticate what we read by taking time to think it over if we would profit by what we read. He sums up his rules for feeding the mind by saying we must give the mind the proper kind of food in proper amounts at proper intervals in proper variety and properly masticated. Think these 4 over, apply them to your reading and you will without doubt get much more satisfaction of your reading. Can You Spare A Razor Blade? --.F The coat hanger and razor blade drive went off well. It is the first drive of its kind that our school has ever had. There were a. total of 5,788 coat hangers and 6,766 razor blades col. lected. Homeroom 121 took first prize in the drive by collecting 1,224 coat hangers; 108 took second prize with 747 hangers, and GM. 1 took third place with 550 hangers. Homeroom 101 topped the list in the razor blade drive with 1,004 razor blades; 113 second prize with 955 blades; GM. 1 third place with 823 razor blades. GM. 1 deserves to be complimented. They have only 15 girls in their home- room and took third in both. ,Oome All! -Willis Brown 9A + Horizontal Bars Make Muscles + Horizontal bars present opportunity for health giving and excellent recre- ation. Recently installed as a result of pupil initiative, the bars which have been added to our gymnasium equipment have been the center of unusual interest and a source of great fun to the boys and girls. Some of the boys have developed original stunts which they do with the great- est of ease. The girls, too, are ac- quiring bigger muscles but they will have to admit they are attacking the almost impossible when they observe the mighty physiques of the boys who have gone in for work on the bars with a. vengeance.
