Per- haps the reason for this is that they do not listen carefully to what the instructor has to say. The pupil who is looking out of the window or whispering to his neigh- bor consequently does not get what he should from the lesson. Much can be learned from listening and observing, not only in the class room but elsewhere. VV hen a person goes out into the world, he must be able to carry out instructions correctly in order to.make a success of life. If he cannot do this he will find that he is not getting ahead. Perhaps this does not seem important to us now, but our future success depends on our success in early life. and if we form good habits now, we will continue to do so in the future. GETTING THE MOST OUT OF SCHOOL LIFE The student who gets all A-l-'s on his rank card is not necessarily the one who is getting the most out of his school life. Of course, one's main object in school should be to get all he can from his stud- ies, but there are many other things which help to make up one's education. Take. for instance, the school paper. A member of its stat? learns much about journalism and about business methods that will be valuable to him in later life. A class officer or the manager of an athletic team receives training that will sometime be appreciated. Athletics teach one courage, quick thinking, and perseverance, which are very desirable qualities for a person who wishes to be successful. lf one takes part in all the extra-curric- ula activities that he has time for, he will never regret it.

THE CORONA 9 CARRY YOUR OWN LOAD How many of us realize how dependent we are on other people and what they have done? VV e have to depend on other people for the clothes we wear. the food we eat, and the books we study. Every- one is dependent on someone else. but there is a chance for us to make ourselves less so. We perhaps depend too much on someone else: In school if we have a hard algebra lesson or a difficult French trans- lation, we are tempted to go to a student who has his lesson done and get it from him. Is this being fair to ourselves? ls this being fair to the student or to the teacher? lt is not, and the sooner we realize this and brea.. ourselves of the habit, the more good will be derived from our schooling. FACULTY CHANGES When our school opened, early in Sep- tember, 1929, we, the students. had the same teaching force as in the previous year. However, before the year was gone, Miss Packard, our music instructor, met with an auto accident, which resulted in Q such injuries that it was necessary for her to resign. VVe were all sorry to see her leave, but we were fortunate to secure another fine teacher of music, Mrs. Grace Richardson. who has led. successfully, the High School Glee Clubs, Orchestra and the School Chorus. Now we learn that our linglish teacher, Miss Mona llerron. will not he with us another year. She has taught. success- fully, the Fnglish classes. for the last two years. She has also proved to be popular with the students of the school and has always been willing to help them in their social activities. both in Friday morning Chapel Exercises, and as a leader among the Camp Fire Girls. Once we have be- come acquainted with a teacher we do not like to see her go and a new teacher come, but let us plan to cooperate with the teacher who will take Miss llerron's place next year, as we have the past two years with Bliss llerron. In closing let us give three cheers for Miss llerron: RAN, RKXII, R.Xll. and three more to usher in our new linglish teacher, RAN, RAM, RAII. as
