he comes face to face with our enemies, do you! Don't answer that, we know what the answer is. Just start buying war stamps and go over the top of that chart now! Frances Gesner, '44 V Profitable Life in High School This is a subject that has as many versions as there are pupils in a school. Some consider their years in high school profitable if they are spent in continuous study of books and their report card shows a four year average grade of A or better. Others consider their high school life profitable if they can make a passing 4 grade and star on athletic teams. Still others care not for rank and care not for sports. Their idea of a profitable four years of high school, or many times only one or two years, is the trouble they can give others and the dishonorgblu name they can gain for themselves. i I believe in the highest scholastic rank obtainable with the student taking part in athletic contests and other school activities. Although a mark of ninety or ninety-five is desirable, if a person studies incessantly and omits athletic and other competitive contests, there is still much missing in his education. Extra curricular activities are no excuse for subject failure, If you are engaged in too many of these, out them down. If you aren't, study harder. Scholarship and competition aren't all there is to a profitable high School life. The little things total to a gigantic score. An Hexcuse men here or HI am sorryu there, sincerely spoken can mean a lot. That cheery Hgood morningn as you hold the door for a teacher or classmate does no harm. A thought that was re- peated in the mind before it was spoken might have prevented an injury in another's heart which time will not wash away. A few less words spoken in a lower tone in the ears of your companions will turn your way equally as often. These and a hundred more like them seem insignificant at the time, but as we practice them life is more profitable for us and much more agreeable for our associates. I T ' Kenneth Cooper, '44
