OUR LIBRARY |N OUR LIBRARY many inter- testing; people are sitting on a library shelf waiting to introduce themselves to you when you open the door. Famous men and women like Washing- ton and Lincoln will tell you about their experiences and just what made their names so well known. Cinemas are taken from books. Many of these books are in our own library. Learn to know little fiction characters such as Pinocchio. After reading this story you feel as if Pinoc- chio lived around the corner from you. Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn are a couple of others which are well known. Both of them live and talk as other real boys do. Do you enjoy a good movie? Of course you do. Would- n‘t it be fun to read books which are later made into movies? — Josephine Burklund BOOKS [IJJ TALK! WHAT MAKES A GOOD SCHOOL CITIZEN A GOOD SCHOOL citizen is one who works quietly, quickly, dili- gently, and conscienciously. One who helps the class and is willing to coop- erate in all ways is a good citizen. When a student does not prepare the assigned work or disturbs instead of paying attention to his teacher, he is considered a poor citizen. A good school citizen is always willing to participate in school pro- grams, serveon traffic, inthelibrary or any of the extra things required to do in the democratic organization of a modern school. — Tommy Kundsen PATRIOTISM NE INTERESTING activity vJ ' sponsored in Burbank this term was the talk on Abraham Lincoln, given by Mrs. Carrie Hoyt, member of the Berkeley Cicy Council. Mrs. Hoyt was well prepared to talk on Lincoln as she was reared in Salem Illinois, where Lincoln had Us first job as clerk in a store. Mrs. Hoyt told about the early life of Lincoln. She showed her interested audience a wooden wormeaten gavel which was made from the wood of a house in which Lincoln had once lived. The gavel is nowin the possession of Mrs. Hoyt and she regards it as one of her finest treasures. The program was closed with the class saying Lincoln ' s Gettysburg Address for memory. — Barbara Barnett CLASS LOYALTY LASS LOYALTY and cooper- V ation is very important. Boys and girls who live day after day with others in the same class and who do not learn to appreciate fine quality in each other must be very selfish and self-centered. A loyal classmate likes to see others succeed. He contri- butes to every class activity even if it means extra effort and time. He likes to see his class do all that is required. A loyal school child be- comes a loyal citizen. Pupils learn loyalty through intel- ligent practice A pupil who wishes to be loyal must know what loyalty is and practice it. It is as important to have practice in loyalty, as it is to have practice in the multiplication tables. One cannot be a loyal citizen if he is not loyal to his family and his friends. The school offers an opportunity for such practice and pupils should take advantage of this fact. —Betty Ann Hale
