OFF THE EDITOR' BAT CAFETERIA COMMENT You as students of Bennett are to be commended upon the intelligent way in which you complied with the situation raised by the cafeteria boy' cott. As soon as you were advised concerning the circumstances surf rounding the price increase, you ref sponded by immediately dropping all the small talk and bellicose action that had resulted from a misunderf standing of the real necessity for the slight price additions. Your full response has done you great credit! Ulf 'll ik And Time is conquered, and thy crown is won. -Sill. --but to win that crown you must work. There is always much to be done. That timefworn appeal of teacher to pupils, Don't waste your time, is really significant if you actually desire to complete your work, -your education. Your teacher un' derstands the true value of precious seconds. Don't call him an old fogy when he strives to show you wherein you are at fault when you waste your time in study hall or class. Don't prepare only for examinations, prepare for the working world :-but consider that an examination awaits the completion of your Work, and that in that examination your time will be limited. If you don't know how to utilize your time now, how will you be able to prosper then? If we were questioned, we should almost all maintain that our Bennett High School is not lacking in school spirit. Don't we all come out on Saturdays? Don't we send off our teams with inspiring cheers? Yes. But real school spirit is the loyal, enthusiastic support of all the activif ties of the school. Listen on Monday morning to the Orange and Blue song. It is issuing forth from the mouths of too few, and from the hearts of even fewer. The loyalty may be there, but the enthusiasm is not. So it is with some other school undertakings-debate, athletics, clubs -we are willing to give our time and energy, but not overfanxious to do so. A little more individual sacrifice and spirit will answer. The next time a call is made for Bennett players, watch yourself dismiss the subject from your mind with a let George do it. He, you know, is the fellow who eagerly responds to the captain's requests. Bennett needs to tighten the ropes and sail on with a merry crew of Georges. Heave ho, my lads! We're on the sea of uncertainty, our prow turned toward an active, more buoyant student body, or a dormant, ordinary one, which we will. Mary Albrecht 1207, 1931 wk X :K There is one hunting season that is not affected by the game laws, the jobfhunting season.

VI RECREATION issue No. 1 A FULL HlTLl5E I5 SIIHITLIL PLAY Will Give Broadway Hit A Full House, a three act farce by Fred Iackson, will be presented by the Bennett Players on Monday and Tues' day, November 24 and 27, under the direction of Mr. Stamp. This will be the sixth annual play produced by Mr. Stamp and the Bennett Players. The leading parts will be played by Reed Herring and Annajeanne Brady. Nor' man Begin is stage manager. The play is a revival of a comedy that only a few years ago ran before packed houses on Broadway. A preview shows that it differs from the usual Bennett Players' production in that it is an inf tense farcefcomedy, packed with retorts, crisp comment, and uwisecracksf' From the first until the last curtain, a riotous comedy is enacted, bubbling over with keen comment and ardent action. A Full House, having the scene laid in a Riverside Drive apartment, will have a fashionable and ultrafmodern setting. When tryouts for it were held on October 6, more than 250 aspirants turned out for the cast. Fourteen of these were selected. Mr. Stamp said that this turnfout enabled him to be certain that A Full House would live up to the high standards of production set hy the Bennett Players. The Director, Mr. Stamp BENNETT TAKES GULF THIJPHY Bennett's Golf Team again won the Interscholastic Golf Tournament held over the Meadowbrook Country Club Golf course September 24, and thus retained the Ganson Depew trophy for the sec' ond successive time. The team was com' posed of Dick Stewart, captaing John Sellers, and Willis Boyer. Mr. Braun acted as coach. The Canson Depew trophy has been in existence for only two years. It was given by Mr. Ganson Depew in 1929 when InterfHigh school golf was recognized as a major sport, thus counting toward the 'lliams Cup. The possession of this golf trophy gives Bennett an early lead in the Williams Trophy race. Everett C, Copley f206Q 1931
