A c was posted. ht first there were few results, but then one class begun to shoot up- A ward. What are the other classes going to do about this? For one thing we can eat less candy and ice cream, can't we? we go to too many movies, shows, and dances, too. The girls could have fewer waves and new dresses. -The boys do quite well, but cou1dn't some smoke and play pool less? dvery penny helps. It only takes ten or twenty-five for one war stamp. We also need more competition. In nearly every contest we haveyone side stays far ahead of the other sides. Let's make this a little different. Truly, it is different. Buying war stamps and bonds should be uppermost in nmerican's heart. Every one wants to speed the day of victory, and M every true buying war stamps insures your future. It may mean going on to school as you have long wanted to and thought you could not. You may laugh at this now, but it may make your chi1dren's education possible. It may mean that you boys can have that new car you want after victory is achieved. There is another angle too. Think for a moment of your friends and relatives in +he servieess Surely you dcn't want your brother to be without ammunition when

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
