HOW A BURBANK BOY SHOULD DRESS A boy attending Burbank Junior High School should dress very neatly. The best things he can wear are clean cords and a red sweater. He should have on a clean shirt, buttoned up, and a necktie. His shoes should be shined all If you can't have cords or a red sweater, the time. come to school Clean. Let A Clean School and A Clean Student be your motto. THRIFT It is always wise to be thrifty. Waste makes people poor and if one is poor, he is apt to be miserable.

All of us should take pride in our personal appearance. Even though we don't admit it, we are pleased when we have new clothes to wear, and know that we look attractive. However, we can't look well if there are circles around our fingertips, and clean white teeth are as important from the standpoint of looks as they are from the standpoint of health. It takes only a few minutes a day to brush the teeth and to clean and trim the fingernails, but these few minutes can do a very great deal toward making us look clean and tidy. . . . . . . , . that which we are, we are, One equal temper of heroic hearts, Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield. --Alfred Tennyson

CAN YOU SWIM? Swimming is good fun, and it is good exercise. Further- more, to know how to swim is good sense, It is good sense be- cause of one serious fact, every year in the United States thousands of persons are drowned. Many of these drownings could have been avoided if the victim had known how to swim. This is the day of world travel. Such travel demands an ocean voyage. There is always the possibility of an ocean ac- cident, where a knowledge of swimming may be the means of sav- ing one's own life or the life of another. Boating is also a splendid sport. The wise person will know how to swim before venturing very often on the water. Many cities and towns have municipal bathing pools. Near- ly every vacation spot includes swimming opportunities. Nearly always it is possible to get swimming instruction. There are many local life saving societies which will assist one in learn ing this summer. It will be great and good fun and an insur- ance of safety. WRITING ON DESKS ' Burbank has done very well in keeping the school in order, but there is one thing which spoils the looks of Burbamk's classrooms--the numerous scratches to be seen on the desks. These scratches are neither decorative nor useful, so why put them there? Some of the marks are so deeply out by thoughtless persons that it is hard to write neatly on one's paper. Before you do anything like this, think, UAm I helping or hurting my school?n r RELIABILITY Reliability is a splendid trait to have. It gains suc- cess and honor for its possessor all through life. All suc- cessful people have this fundamental trait of reliability. To be depended upon by one's schoolmates and teachers, is to train oneself to success and accomplishment. One needs to be worthy and dependable before he can hope to gain the reputation of Ubeing reliable.U Doing the every y day lesson well and being a good citizen in the classroom go toward making a better character. To do well at school goes with being a willing helper in the hone, and carries us near- er to our future life, to successful pursuits, and happiness.
