Conservation in the School It is well known that an idea impressed firni- ly in one's mind early in life will remain there forever. We are taught early in life that it is wise to save and how wrong it is to destroy. Just so. the child in school should lx. taught the wickedness of destroying the wild life without regard for the future. In school is the place to educate the child on the countless benefits received from our rapidly diminishing wild life and natural re- sources. If these facts were thoroughly im- pressed upon every child’s mind after he had attained his growth he would he a better en- lightened citizen. II. . Xf.vii.LK, Optimates The Alpha Chapter of the cit y wide Latin Honor Society, the Optimates, was formed in 1930. Now there is a chapter in each of the Senior Academic High Schools with the ex- ception of Hast, which has its own society. In order to become a member of the pti- nKites, one must at the end of the 1-2 or any other term thereafter, have at least an average of I» in Latin. This year at the first meeting the active members elected these officers for the Sep- teml)cr to January term: First Consul, Nor- mn Jacobs; Second Consul, Wilfred Shcp- pler; Scriba. Herbert Smith: (Juacstor, David Gilkeson; Aedile, Kolxjrt l.aFavc; Nuntius.

Then conies the task of developing a squeaky voice and choppy tones, long winded- ness. weak projection. Never have an intense interest in your vocabulary, which should he very limited. According t« leading politicians, the prin- cipal qualities to lx developed are undccision. a blank mind, laziness and un-naturalness. speaker should cultivate the habit of never knowing wb.it lie is talking almut. The ex- temjxjraneous style of delivery should lx tin ultimate aim of every sjx aker. To this end the knack of forgetfulness should he attained in (Ik highest possible degree. Silence offers one of the best and most prac- tical helps tc the study of speaking. TWKXrr I IIJfKK

Cherrup! First Prize OPEN season lias arrived for autumn hikes, tinted leaves, chilly evenings, scampering squirrels, harvest muons and—crickets. Tc he quite frank, the cricket season is open all year 'round, but now is the time when all good little crickets, who do not wish to en- counter any had. bad snowstorms, seek the nice warm shelter of somebody’s home. If you were unacquainted with the cricket problem, you would sav. “Mv goodness! W hy raise all this fuss over a |x or little insect who is too big to 1H' a bodily stowaway and too petite t« bring tracks in on the kitchen Hour?” h! but you know only too well that the cricket docs not offend in the visual sense, hut rather, it is an auditory disturbance that he (or she. as the case may be) causes. In mv study of etymology, I have found that the members of the order of orllt tptcra of the class insectu under which the cricket is classified) have four wings; two with which to fly and two as ornaments or protections, lik covers on spare tires. Efficiency is the crick- et’s main theme of life. But here he is with a pair of wings subtracting from his payload and no apparent use for them. The cricket, thinking in line with civiliza- tion. has learned to control his emotions some- what; at the same time life has many trials and tribulations for the orthopter-ians as well as for humans. Drat it all! A cricket must have some outlet for his emotions. The cricket (the following may he shocking but this text is written to show the true and uiKcnsored facts alxwt the cricket problem) puts his hind feet on the lower ridges of those extra flip| er and rubbing them lxick awl forth produces a high pitched sound. Some people believe this sound to he ] eaceftil and consoling while others believe it to lx' a “confounded nuisance. It was found that this difficulty could not be remedied by the segregation of humans according to their likes and dislikes of the sound, because most humans who can tolerate each other’s company cannot tolerate each other's views on the cricket's creak. Therefore it was pointed out that action must not be taken on the human side of the argu- ment. but it was the cricket which would have to he worked on. My only experiment was a failure, but per haps someone in reading this may correct the flaw, thereby saving mankind from many nerv- ous breakdowns.
