May, 1929 THE CHINOOK BREEZE 25 THE STUDENT VOICE The Student Voice Published every other Monday during the school year by the Newswriting Class of Chinook High School, Chinook, Montana, under the direction of Superintendent Robert Julian. Entered as second-class matter January 21, 1928, at the post office at Chinook, Montana, under the Act of March 3, 1879. Subscription rate, per year 75 cents. Advertising rates upon application. Editor ...................... ISABEL GRIFFIN Asst. Editor ............... EVELYN LEONARD Adv. Manager ................ WILLIAM DUKE Circ. Manager ............... ELMER GESELL Opinion Publishing Co. Press EDITORIAL This month brings into view’ the birthdays of two American’s, undoubtedly two of the greatest Americans of our history. Abraham Lincoln w’as born, February 12. 1809, and George Washington February 22, 1732. How can we pay tribute to these loyal citizens? As Mr. Wampler, the Methodist minister, at general assembly last Wednesday illustrated. we can follow their foot prints. We can develop the great characteristics which they exercised. Be prepared by developing your personal powers and keep studying, show’ the responsibility and do your task with a will, keep in close contact with people, and build upon high principles, are the points w’hich Mr. Wampler stressed were due to Lincoln’s and Washington’s success in life. If each student strives to be a worthy individual such as Lincoln or Washington, his life is being aimed at a goal worth striving for. OUTSIDE ACTIVITIES It is a good thing for every student to take part in some activity besides his daily routine of school w’ork . It may be Glee Club, Dramatic Club. Extemporaneous Speaking or Athletics. In going out for Athletics or any of the other activities you are not only gaining credit for yourself but also your school. T he way you go about in doing your school work shows your school spirit. By taking part in the activities of the school, the pupil becomes more independent and more confident. It makes the student trke mere interest in his school life and encourages cooperation with his fellow students. CLASS SPIRIT The other day a group of students were conversing on the well known subject of school spirit. One of the students was saying, It seems to me that what wre need first is class spirit, and then we can have school spirit.’’ This young person has the right idea, for there is very little class spirit. The classes are allowed a picnic and a party each semester but what classes took advantage of this last year? Maybe one or tw’o classes had a picnic or a party, but then most of them were failures. Why wras this? Because the pupils didn’t have the right spirit. They should mix and try to make their class the peppiest and best go-getter in Chinook High School. Another way to show class spirit is to elect a yell leader and then to use him. Give fifteen for your class and teachers and see if it doesn’t make you feel just a little more in the school affairs. Have inter-class basketball w’hen the season starts. Just show' the other classes w’hat you can do and make them sit up and take notice. THE EASY CHAIR The Superintendent's Own Column Major d’Cercy’s visit to the high school wras much appreciated by students and faculty members. It is not often that w’e have a chance to listen to a message from the people of another country. One of the teachers remarked afterward that it certainly was an interesting talk. I couldn’t understand half of what he said, but he spoke so forcefully and was so very much in earnest that everyone listened attentively.’’ The Major had the best reception of any speaker before the high school assembly in the last five years. A letter was received in the office last week telling of a place with a Havre family where a Blaine county girl between the ages of fifteen and seventeen can work for her room and board and attend the Ha «re schools. Such places have apparently been more scarce than usual this year. Only tw’o calls have come from Chinook people willing to provide such accomodations. A school dormitory is the solution of the problem. The sports writer of the Great Falls Tribune w’ould like to move the Havre high school down closer to Great Falls, so that the boys could get together more often for love feasts and such. Our opinion is that Havre is very fortunate in being located as close to Chinook as she is. Our love for each other may not always be evident to the casual observer, but boy, how the gate receipts do count up! Free education is only one of many advantages thrust upon the child who is born under the American flag. While w’e sympathize with the children of other countries, we can be proud of our flag. We can be proud of our forefathers who established the system of government which gives us the advantages which we enjoy today.
