Imagine what would happen in some large automobile factory, for instance, if in assembling a car some one man did not do his share, his little bit, just the tighten- ing of a few bolts. When that car goes into service it will not behave properly. It would have been all right if only every one had done his share. It is the same way in school. Everyone must do his bit toward making his school a perfect running, a perfect functioning body, Let us all cooperate to make our school stand the highest not only in our county but in our state. Let each do his share toward helping run our various school activities: athletics, the school paper, the annual, the clubs, as well as studies, and surely he who would be proud of his school can be still prouder to realize that he has put his best work into the perfection of it. Winthrop Libby, '28 AW COME ON, BE A SPORT! Aw come on, be a sport! How many, many times we use this expression without stopping to think of what it means. We coax a friend to do something he really doesn't care about doing and that magic phrase, Be a sport , fre- quently turns the trick because a friend is most unwilling to be known as a killjoy. But what does it really mean to be a sport? Is its true meaning, one who is afraid to say no? Surely not. A true sport is one who has great strength of character, a fighting heart that will not let him give up when the game seems sure to be lost, but only makes him set his teeth and put his whole self into making the game a good one anyway. And if he wins he will be a good winner. He will not boast of his wise plays and he will not crow over his opponents. One reason for Lindbergh's great popularity is his modesty. i

THE REFLECTOR 7 Let us all be good sports, not in the sense that we generally use the word sport but in its true sense. Evelyn Johnson, '28 NEW BAND MEMBERS Next fall the Caribou Boys' Band will have need of many new members, for six members graduated from high school last year, and six more will graduate this year. When a band member graduates from high school he either goes to work or goes away to school, and cannot be depended upon to play in the band thereafter. Before now boys have hesitated to join the band because it was so far advanced. But now if several new members should join the band at once, the rest of the band would have to play easier music until the new members reached their stage of advancement. At the present time there is need of a baritone, a bass horn, a bass drum, two cornets, and several clarinets. The ones 'who are playing these instruments now will be willing to help the new mem- bers get a start. A new member should be able to attend rehearsals after about a month of hard practice and ought to manage his instrument very skillfully in a year's time. At present there is one girl starting to play in the band. The band would welcome many more girls. Although the band would not refuse the present juniors a chance to play in the band it would rather see younger players start. Come, join, and save the band! Clayton Hardison, '23 SUCCESS How many of us appreciate what our parents have done, the sac- rifices they have made in order that we might attend high school? Few of us realize that there are some boys and girls who cannot attend high school because they must work. They realize what they miss. We accept a high school education as though it were our due. There is one way of responding to our parents' sacrifices. Let us take high school seriously. We must not acquire the habit of ne- glecting our studies. Our habit of living while in high school will affect our later life. Many failures in the business world will be found to have been failures in highschool. Let us take this as our motto: Success, not failure. David Daniels, '28
