. , Y b 9 Sfuhvni Muuernmvnt This is the third year of student government in B. I-I. S. With us it is no longer an experiment. Those who were doubtful as to its success have been convinced, those who were opposed to it have been brought to see the worth of the system. This fact was shown by the attitude of the student body in a meeting, this year, whose purpose was to determine whether or not we should allow student government to remain in B. H. S. Not a voice was heard in opposition to letting it remain. If any came to the meeting for the purpose of discouraging the plan, they quickly saw that opposition on their part was useless, and that the mass of students was highly in favor of Student Government. Thus a precedent has been set for this school, which will likely continue for many years. But still, as student government now exists, it is not perfect and it is the duty of the students of next year and the years to follow to perfect it, and above all, to abserve its rulings and respect its representatives in the students senate, so that it may be made to serve the student body as it should and is capable of doing, One of the main purposes of our school education is to prepare for citizenship, and to learn how to carry the responsibilities of citizenship i-n this democracy. If I judge rightly, student government in high school has more to do with teaching those things than any one subject studied in high school. VVhen the students of high schools learn to carry the responsibilities placed upon them by student government, not only will the work in the school be more effective, but there will be a complete revolution in the civic and social affairs of our country. Therefore, I sincerely hope that the students of the coming years may fully re- alize the responsibilities that are to be placed upon them, and that they will carry these responsibilities in such a way that student government may be brought to the highest degree of perfection and efficiency.

I . if Mugs Quaker mall IEIIH--Qlnntinurh I Our first game, was with Lee's Summit, Friday night. At the end of the first f or I quarter the score was 6-4 in their favor, but with a little effort we made the final l ' score 30--I4 in our favor. Our second game was with Independence and it proved to be the closest and hardest fought game of the three. One thing that went not a little lt ' way toward putting spirit into us was the presence of the crowd from home With Mf- ' Craig among its number., It was fight from begin-ning to end. At the end of the first half the score was tied and I Qplease excusel was out on account of personal fouls. But that mattered little as we had Clyde Borland to go to center. In the second half Hensley, one of our guards received a severe gash above his left eye. He received immediate attention from Dr. Allen. He went back for the last quarter and played 1111- til eliminated by personal fouls. Tilsey then went to guard and Board took Tilsey's i place at forward. Fighting like demons the Red and Green finished the game, winning ,I by two points. ' . ll Saturday night we played the finals with Pleasant Hill and although it was a rum-qi ww, ,,3r,'1,, .1 i All I ' hard fought battle, when' the final 'whistle blew we were fourteen points in the lead.
