Science Clubs as an extra curricular activity have been formed in nany of the schools and the work carried on in these clubs tells its own story of the practical use to which the students are putting their interest in science and of their growing enthusiasm for it The pupils are interpreting their studies ln terms of every day life definitely a forward step in the progress of secondary school education Early in the school year, a group of our boys banded together with the purpose of forming such a club which would give them opportunity of expansion beyond the limits of the regular classroom routine ln October, an organization meeting was held and the follow 1ns officgrg ygra glactody President, Gilbert Alolsiog Vice Presl dent, Donald Brounlngg Secretary, Louis Danzig Treasurer.

As a matter of fact, they are the all important ones and while leading students of science, politics, religion and lndustry are doing everything possible to bring about a balance in these matters, the ul- timate solution, the entire burden, and the responsibility of planning a workable program rests on the shoulders of youth. As we glance back through the pages of history, we find that in every era of civilisation, youth was always confronted with problems left by preceding generations. I am confident, that if we approach our problems of tomorrow with the spirit possessed by the youth of other generations, we will accomplish a great deal nore than merely hurdllng headlong into them in a hit or miss fashion. In every age and ln every emergency of local, national or world wide import some leader has risen above his fellowmen, and I feel sure our age will prove no exception. lhile we may not reach a Utopia, we can and will reach a closer understanding and more inti- mate fellowship with God and man. Just what are some of these major problems or so-called emer- gencies confronting the youth? A better understanding between capi- tal and labor, old age security, racial prejudiceg and religion are just a few of the more important ones The last names seems by far the most important, as we must seek a truer fellowship between God and man if we wish to settle our diff erences rlghteously and peacefully le must strive to develop a re llgion not for Sunday alone, but a practical every day religion. Rather than measure everything by the yardstick of malth and position let us measure by the Golden Rule of human relations and human equality lhlle speaking about human equality we find ourselves confronted with a problem as old as time, that of capital and labor. Right here the capitalist must come to realise that all humans, which in clude the people that work for him, as well as himself, were created equal and are to be treated as equals, rather than being used as slaves or so called guinea pigs to further the employers selfish ends Rather than trying to settle our innumerable differences by the 'survival of the flttest' method let us try to settle them over a common council table The rift today between the employer and employee, ln many in stances, seems to be widening to such a degree that reconciliation appears to be remote. Both sides must realize that the children of today will be the leaders of tomorrow and what these children do and how they go about doing lt will depend largely upon the feelingp that are set up for or against their case by the leaders of today. The standard set up by these leaders of today, their methods of arbi tration and the conclusion which they reach, will be in a large measure serve as examples which youth will copy under a like set of circumstances. K r JA: 'S ,EB This brings us to international relations, which is really the problems of one nation, multiplied by all the nations of the world. We are no longer isolated from the rest of the world. With radio. fast modes of travel and shipping, all countries are becoming lore and more civilized and are all thirstlng for peace and happiness the same as we. Thru these mediums our problens are becoming the common property of man ln every country and the enlightenment which comes from this lnterchanging of ideas, is bount to create a brand of lead- ership ln the future, superior to that of the present day. Too little attention has been paid to the care of the older people. Certain noted psychiatrists have stated that a man of fifty- five should retire. If he does retire, what will he use for secur- ity? A good number of the old folks have either squandered their money on their children or because of lack of work had to use what little money they were able to save for their keep. After doing this, they find their resources totally depleted. It seems to me that in as much as they have taken care of all our needs, it is only fair that we take the responsibility of caring for them in the twilight of their lives without the stigma of the poor house or hav- ing to accept alms. As time moves along the barriers which for so long have.stood between racial understandings are gradually being broken down. Our country has gone a long way toward reducing hatred and jealousy a- mong its people because of its complex population It is only natural that everyone should be proud of the blood that Ilows in his veins, but no one is ordered by Hin that gave us all to discriminate or rule by force anyone, whether he be Christian or Jew If we are to pros per we must and shall respect each others rights Nearly every great movement for good has been born because tne forces of evil had become strong and arrogant But we must see to it that good will always conquer evil, even against great odds This great movement is on to help solve our problems of t morrow Lot each and everyone of us here today, ncw dedicate his life to the forces of good Let us take every opportunity to be courteous, to work cheerfully and save, to cast out all hatred and evil from our minds, free ourselves of bigotry and join in this great march toward the time when we are no longer young, when we will be carrying the load Let us so live that when the time comes for us to lay down our tools, we may leave our children a heritage they will be proud to carry on The Youth of a lation are the trustees of Posterity Disraell Almost everything which is great has been done by youth Disraell N 5 K 9- .ahh +41 PART TIME CLASSES During the past year many changes took place ln the parttlne school. lr lulroy ls now devoting his time and ability to guiding full time boys through the hazards of mathematics and the facts and sldellghts of science Another change is the woodwork group It is smaller and the boys lu lt spend the full four hours each week with their instructor, Lot Cooke. lr Cooke has endeavored to interest them in understanding and keeping acquainted with current events, Only those lads who desire woodwork are in lt and thus the class not only is benefltlrg from lr Cooke's long time and broad experience ln world affairs but it is accomplish ing the goals set up by the instructor.

It stated that if possible, every boy was to be a swimmer by the end of the school term, even if he had to receive private tutoring. In this school this group of non-swimmers was tried from month to month, and out of a grand total of 108 non-swimmers, 102 were taught to sw1m.The others had such a fear of the water that it was impossible for them to learn the art of swimming. Those who learned are very proud of their achievement and are new capable of passing the American Red Cross be- ginners and swimmers tests. The intra-mural swimming contests proved very close and most in- teresting. The finals were witnessed by an enthusiastic audience. Mr. Morrlssey's sophomore group 2E and Mr. Cooke's freshmen group 1K were the victors. lr. Kean and lr. Chapin, members of the faculty, acted as Judges. The individual championship of the school was won by James Poppen- burg with a total of 30 points. He was followed closely by Thomas Daurelio who garnered 29 points. The very cream of sw1mmers,8 in all from the junlors,competed ln this event. It was a severe test of 6 events, the boys competing in 2 events each night. lr. Burke has issued a warning to each class relative to outdoor swimming. All boys were warned to wait until the water was sufficient- ly warm to enjoy this outdoor sport. This advice was given not because the boys are incapable of handling themselves In the water, but because of the danger of cramps, submerged objects when diving, shallow water. W Advance ln Swimming. As I think of leaving this school, I look back to the first year that I entered the door of the Boys High School.At that time as a swim- mer I was a very good rock. M knowledge of swimming was so limited that I thought that all there was to it was to kick your legs and thrash your arms about in the water. The first few weeks Mr. Burke gave ue lessons ln the leg kick.Exper1ences in this exercise aided me in build- ing up confidence and made me the more determined to become a good swim- mer. Our next exercise combined breathing with the leg kick and I soon found that this exercise was both beneficiary to my lungs as well as to Improve on my ability as a swimmer. After the breathing drill came the arm movement which plays a very prominent part ln swimming. This exer- cise consisted of hooking your toes to a railing attached to a side of the pool. You then stretch out upon the surface of the water and go through the motions of lwlnmlng, but of course you do not move as your feet prevent this. This exercise Includes both rhythmatlc breathing as well as proper arm rotation. Well, finally the day cane when we started swimming the width of the pool and I found that I could do lt. What a thrill this was. Of course the distance was not very great,but it was my first achlevment and of course I was proud of myself. The stroke we than learned was the Breast Stroke end finally the BackStwke. I paid strict attention to Mr. Burke's advice while we were having these lessons and I now feel that I have profited by his advice. Today I can swim very well and I know that ln case of an emergency I can be counted upon to render my serv- ices capably, because included in my training was lifesaving drills. I learned how to break the front strangle hold, the back strangle hold, and also the double strangle hold. Then I was taught artificial respl- ratlon and shown the actions to bring to consciousness a person who has been partially drowned. V. A V, ,- is.-,h Swimming Continued I want to say to the Freshmen and Sophomores that if they want to learn swimming by the best known method, they must then overcome their fear of the water and get into lt. No one has ever learned to swim by sitting around watching others swim. He must get into the water and have constant practice Many older people would give great deal to know how to sw1m,and you should appreciate the fact that we have the facilities and the teacher necessary to instruct you in this art. Swimming is not only a sport, but the best all around exercise or body developer that there ls Learn to swim and feel that if the need arlses you may be able through your experience to save another'B life I feel that after my experience and training ln swimming. thlf I can compete with other swimmers in the Municipal races held through out the city.
