Twenty-five men answered the first call among whom are seven veterans: Captain Madison, Bush, Booth, Schank, Land, Ksiazek and Osterman. New men who show promise are:— Gibson, Thompson, Howe, Huff, Rose, Phelps, Kohlhof, Davis, Stumpf Rines and Strasburg. Although the schedule is as yet in- complete—it appears to be the tough- est attempted by a Clarks team. The schedule includes Aurora and Silver Creek and the Indians at Clarks. Wolbach will be here for the first home game, October 2. With a mumber of new men in the lineup and a difficult schedule ahead, the fellows need and deserve our support. “BACK’EM UP” WORD OF EXPLANATION As a word of explanation to the advertising patrons of this first issue of the School Paper and due to the impossibility to collect the copy in time to systematically arrange ad- vertising copy as directed by the customers. We shall in the next’ is-ue attempt to readjust thi s de- partment to conform to their best wishes. If everyone will co-operate to make the SKRALC an interesting school paper there need be no reason for any disappointment to the school or for criticism by the. patrone, of the district. The Freshmen are all “signed up” and have succeeded in finding their classes before they were much more than half over. Some of the braver ones almost, dare to talk and in a few weeks they will hide their blushes and really recite. Yes, this is a very normal Freshman class, merely green. The teachers anticipate a very suc- cessful school this year with the splendid material and enthusiasm. FORMER GRADUATES HERE AND THERE Graduates of the Clarks High School are widely scattered. Ethel Sweet is teaching District seven and Kate Tomasiewicz is teaching near her home. Anna Hannappel and Emma Ksiazek nearly had schools, but at the last minute failed to qualify. Don Gray is working in a packing house in Omaha. Wallace Harlow is working here in Kuzelka’s Meat Mar- ket. Marvel Carson is working at Alliance. To “Somewhere in Ole Wyoming” “Jug” Brown has drifted. Norma Jones is working in Lincoln. Ace Pollard will attend school at Creighton. Hector Halleck will at- tend school at University of Southern California. Raymond Hurd plans to attend the State University. Other class of ’31 grads are at home. Paloma Wilson, Junior Boberg— class of ’30, and Mildred Strombom— class of ’29 are continuing at Nebr- aska Wesleyan this fall. SCHOOL ENROLLMENT The enrollment for the various grades in school are as follows:— Kindergarten ............... 10 First Grade ................... 13 Second Grade ....................17 Third Grade ......... ... ....__ 11 Fourth Grade ............. 17 Fifth Grade .................. 19 Sixth Grade .................... 10 Seventh Grade ................. 17 Eighth Grade __________________ 16 Ninth Grade _ _________________ 29 Tenth _________________________ 16 Eleventh Grade .... 21 Twelvth Grade 18 Adding we find that there are 136 pupils in the grades and 84 in the High School, making a total of 220 in school. Mrs. Vedder is plannig to offer a class in Expression to High School students interested. The class will meet one day a week at the two o’clock period. Clarks, Nebraska, September 9, 1931 THE SKRALC Published Weekly THE STAFF The first SCRALC of the year is being published by the staff of last year’s paper. Next week we will be ready to print the names of the new [ staff that will give something to laugh at this year. —o—O—o— This year the SKRALC is co-opera- ting with the management of the CLARKS ENTERPRISE to have the outside sheet of our paper printed at the Enterprise office. The inside will be done in color on the Ditto machine here at school. Hurray for the Skralc!—and don’t be afraid to make a wisecrack, the x-eward is to have your picture in the paper. The Senior Class will miss one of their number this year. Catherine McGill will nevermore yell for good old Clarks High. She is going to Washington, D. C., with her father, Senator McGill, where she will attend school. George McGill is to enter military school this fall. (Girls, imagine how handsome he will be in a uniform.) —o—O—O— OUR SCHOOL We are committed to the theory that education will cure the evils of the state. We must train our child- ren to believe in the dignity of hard work and to meet their civic responsi- bilities. We must see that adequate homes are made for them. Only by such an education can progress in de- moci'acy take place.—John L. Clifton, Director of Education, State of Ohio. •—o—O—o— A i-ecognized necessity of evei’y curi’iculum is the school paper. If it were not for the business men and their patronage, Clarks High would never be able to sponsor such a feat- ure. So we who appreciate the SKRALC wish to thank the business men of Clarks and the help they give us through their advertising. . . . . - Ruth rode in my new cycle car, In the seat back of me; I took a bump at fifty-five, And rode on ruthlessly.

Stark, Director of Ath- letics and Physical Education, Char- leiton, W. Va. High School) The importance and necessity of athletics in our public schools, col- leges and universities is realized now as never before. We are finding with alarming rapidity that in- dividuals are coming to adult life with inferior bodies, deficient vigor, as well as lack of control. An individual cannot be happy and contented unless he possesses bodily health and no person can be of his greatest useful- ness unless he has strength and en- durance. Proper and efficient athletics play a vital part in training for worthy citizenship. No other branch of school activity calls forth such enthusiasm in wholesome athletics. An athletic program develops traits of sportsmanship, leadership, loyalty, cooperation and team work. Cer- tainly these traits are desired for future citizenship. Closely connected with good citizen ship is the question of worthy use of liesure time. The late Coach Knute Rockne said that he did not worry about the time his boys were in school or at home but was vitally in- terested in what they did between 1 school hours and bed time. Our modern program of athletics must provide physical skills for leisure hours, if it is to be a vital part of the athlete’s life. We must, when work- ing out our athletic programs, in- clude all branches of sports that will carry over into the adult life. Athletics aims to provide an oppor- tunity for the individual to act in situations which are physically whole- some, mentally and socially sound, and stimulating and satisfying. Not only is the athlete being taught physi- cally but he is being taught mentally, socially and morally. The program includes team work, wholesome play and coordination. He is taught ser- vice to society now and to the unborn of the coming generation, fair dealing with one another, care of the body, and how to live the right kind of ! healthful life which will set an example before associates in and out of school. Athletics bring into existence a fine camaraderie of spirit as well as the competitive strain which so typi- fies the normal individual athlete. In this you find the necessity for absolute unity of thought and action which ultimately breaks down class differ- ences. Through athletics we build intelli- gence, character, physical soundness and develop volitional power. What shall it profit a community if it gain riches and influence and lose the health of its own boys and girls? The head, heart, and hand all need trai- ning to the end that the individual may have a keen intellect, a sound character, and an active, healthy en- during body. A sound mind and sound body are necessary one to the other, and it is the duty of athletics to slight neither, but to coordinate the two into a harmonious whole. There is a general agreement among athletic authorities that these are the objectives of an athletic pro- gram:—To promote health, to build character, to educate for the proper use of liesure time through whole- some play and recreation, and to pro- mote better and worthy citizenship. . . . . .

The main purpose in adver- tising is to make everyone familiar with your store, your merchandise and your prices. The Skralc travels a long way. Every school, rural as well as each neighboring town school receives a copy of our school paper. All the homes in the community have a paper too. Do you think it would be profitable to patronize our paper? KINDERGARTEN AND FI T (Teacher, Mrs. Westman) ! A great many guesses were made as to just what those sacks were to be used for. Everyone found out Monday morning. A nice big wig- wam was in our room. The entire first grade can get in it at once. This is all in connection with our Indian study. Many young braves are com- ing to school with bow and arrows too. We have two new pupils in our room. They are, Lois Prouty, and Louise Pickerel. j The first grade have finished the wake up story and made booklets of the same. I Neal Mustard’s weight is the near- est perfect. He is just three fourths of a pound overweight. SECOND AND THIRD GRADE (Teacher, Miss Riggs) The art classes made a study of Nebraska’s state flower, the golden- rod. They made a drawing of the flower and studied the poem, “Gold- enrod.” For our nature study lesson we made a study of the position of com- mon constellations during the month of September. The pupils were taught the story about how Callisto was changed into a great shaggy bear, and how to locate the bear by Qing the great dipper. For Monday’s .language and pen- manship classes the pupils wrobe let- ters to their teacher, Miss Thomas. Second grade Arithmetic class has been studying money and how to make change. Pupils have been bringing empty cartons to put in the toy store. We are ready to begin our Clean- liness Contest. Each morning all pupils will be inspected to see that they have clean hands, face, neck, ears, teeth and handerkerchief. The Third Grade Geography class has been studying about traveling on a train over night and for meals. Those who have had those experiences tell their class mates about them.

Perhaps we should understand its utilization be- fore we formulate a definition. “No school spirit.” What does that mean to you? You immediate- ly and instinctively, sense a school that is a failure. Perhaps it does not strike the eye openly but that school nonetheless is a failure. May- be that school's games are well attend ed. More likely they are not. There are only a few ardent rooters. The rest of the spectator seek a comfort- able place to sit and chat, or else do not come at all. Why? Because there is no school spirit prevalent in that school. School spirit is not only apparent in the games and athletics. It can be easily noted on the classroom. The student applies himself more diligent- ly, recites better and makes a better appearance. School spirit is something, anything that creates better co-operation among the student body, the faculty group and the people of the commun- ity. If your school has this spirit— foster it carefully. If not, it is a lifeless institution. —C. Golder FOURTH AND FIFTH GRADES (Teacher, Miss Wieland) Last Wednesday the 4th and 5th grades organized a Health Club. Every one in the room is a member.

We have a good team but need more experience and backing. This game should at least partly furnish us with that. The score at the end of the half was 0-0, but in the last half Aurora managed to get two touchdowns and a point from fairly long runs. That the team can fight was shown when Aurora was stopped on downs less than 15 yards from the goal line in the first half. We play Wolbach Friday and it promises to be a good game as they held us to a 0-0 tie last year. Come out and yell for the boys. Coach Odum has a coaching record that cannot be excelled even by Rock- ne’s. Last Friday’s defeat was the seventh out cf forty-four. This is outstanding considering the fact we have played only one school as small a3 v. e are which is our neighbor Sil- v e.’ Creel:. —O—O—O— Tc the Parents of Music Pupils:— We need your help. Why not work With me and your children to help them to success with their mu ic? I am sure that each parent would iike to see his or her child a playing member of band and orches- tra. You can help them to such a po ition by reminding them to prac- tice and seeing that the r practice hour is not less than 45 minutes every day.

Barnes, Bandmaster —O—0-0— “IT PAYS TO ADVERTISE” All High School P.ay Mr. Vedder is coaching an all high school play, “It Pays to Advertise”. Practice began in earnest this week for the play to be ready to put on in three weeks. There is a cast of twelve characters, four girls and eight boys. Note, none of the boys are on the football squad. Watch for definite date. WHAT A FOOTBALL BOY THINKS OF OUR SCHOOL SPIRIT The men on the football team are sacrificing time that might mean more pleasure to them, if spent otherwise than practicing football. Their training rules are more or less self- sacrificing, and although for their own good, football is also a means of showing school spirit and giving a name to their school by athletic suc- cess. This is all well and good, and as it should be. But the distressing part of the situation is that there are pupils in high school who are shirk- ing their duty. There are actually Seniors in this high school who have never witnessed a high school team on the gridiron. Nor have they show ed any willingness in upholding the name of the school. Every student in school should buy a student ticket. It is their duty as a member of the student body. The cost is less than one half that of other schools where 100 percent sales are an every year occurrence. We play Wolbach Friday and every student should be there. Wolbach has a good team and it is surely worth your time to come and see the game. Invite your friends and let everyone know that we have a foot- ball team here. —L. M. —o—O—o— QUESTION BOX 1.

After a few times you’ll wonder why anyone stays away from any school activities that are sponsor- ed by such a live school. We need the support and backing of the students and the community to make Clarks School one to be proud of—a living and growing institution. —M. B. SCHOOL SPIRIT Why did you come to Clarks High instead of some other school? Or why did you send your children here? Because you think that it is the best school, of course. And if so, you I don’t want anyone to think that you I find yourself mistaken in your choice, ' but if you will show interest in the j school, people surely think that it ! isn’t worth your interest. This will give the impression that the school is only second class and the community also second class. Have you ever asked, “Was the play good?” and then was answered, “Yes, the place was packed.” Or it may have been, “Just fair, there was a very poor crowd.” If other people show enjoyment and good will, we also have that feeling for we like to follow the crowd. The number of people attending a school function show very well the percent of people in the community who feel the school spirit. There are always a few people who show enthusiasm in all things that have to do with the school. Their spirit is catching, and so if you feel a need of some school spirit go to the. next football game—or the first function sponsored by a school group and link arms with the liveliest root- er. Do as he does, and you will en- KINDERGARTEN AND FIRST (Teacher, Mrs. Westman) Elma Jean Madison and Jack Potts received no slips from Dr. Douglas. They were the only two who seemed to be physically fit in all ways. Mildred Dittmer, Eglatina Sanchez, and Lois Christensen were the first three to receive gold stars for know- ing all of the flash cards. Vivian Kingsley, Joyce Pickerel, and Darlene Schank were the first ones in the Kindergarten. The kindergarten have started their “Work and Play With Words,” work books. Miss Peterson is teaching the pupils in our room many Indian songs. These songs make our Indian stories and wigwam more real. Ramon Wiegel brought a very pretty colored picture to school. It was a picture of Hiawatha and Laughing Water. For hand work Thursday the first grade cut Indian silhouttes. The subject under discussion last week for our health lessons was Cleanliness. The subject for this week is the Care of the Fingernails and Hair. The pupils in our room learned:— Before each meal and after play. Wash all dirt and germs away.

They lost one of their best men, Winker, center, who moved away.

We think of many people as our friends, but are they? Are you anyone’s friend? Just remember that you would do anything for a friend, even go through fire. When a person has fallen give him a hand. Then you are his friend. It is sometimes said that we do the most unhonorable deeds to the ones we love the best, check up on this and yourself and see if this isn’t so. You are willing to do anything to benefit the ones that you love the most. We usually think of our mothers and fathers as our best friend, just ask yourself this question. “Have I always told them of my troubles?” If you haven’t then they are not your best friends. If you have and they have helped you, they are your friends. Just remember it takes all kinds of people to make up a nation. You cannot be too careful in your selec- tion of a friend, but always be willing to be a friend.—Exchange Daughter:—“Oh dad, what is your birthstone?” Father of twelve:—“My dear, I’m not sure, but I think it is a grindstone.” INSTRUCTIONS TO ROOTERS The only effective yell is the one which is well timed. To be well- timed a yell must be given in perfect unison with the motions of the yell leaders. Rules To Follow (1) Know the yells thoroughly. (2) All start hard on the FIRST syllable. Watch the yell leader. (3) Keep together and snap it out at the correct time. Keep with the yell leader’s motions. (4) Pitch your voice up and force the sound against your teeth. This will save your voice and give a clear- er, sharper tone to the yell. (5) Force the syllables out—don’t drag them. Correct:—Rah! Wow! Ah! Wrong:—Raah, Woow, Aaah.

(Continued on Page 4) STUDENT BODY TO LISTEN TO HOOVER’S ADDRESS President Hoover, in his recent proclamation calling for the celebra- tion of the 150 Anniversary of the surrender of Cornwallis at Yorktown, Virginia, recommended that Monday, October 19 next, be observed in school, etc., in commemoration of the American Victory at Yorktown. It is requested that we assemble at 10 A. M., Central Standard Time, to hear President Hoover’s address. It is further requested that at the con- clusion of the President’s address, all school children salute the flag and sing America. Mr. Bitt:mrer is going to bring a radio up to the school house so we ! can hear Prendent Hoover’s address. | We’ll all be there on time to hear it, we’re sure. THE HIGH SCHOOL MIXER Listen my people and you shall hear, about the Mixer that took place this year. You shall never hear of greater fun than we had at the mixer of “thirty-one”. It all started from the great contest, (which room could sell student tickets the best.) Room hrer- were the invited guests. It all took place on the west school ground, and people came from miles around. All the students and teachers wore there, except Mr. Odum, (we don’t know where he could have gone to miss the sound, un'ess it would be to some other town.) A big bonfire was the first of the show. The people were eager for fun you know. So we ran the Freshman in a pen, our editor came with paint and then she paint- ed the “guilty” with nice green strips. (Just ask her if they can fight.) Till supper time we played games, and next day some of the kids seemed quite lame. We then ate supper and played some more. And all went home for a happy snore. —E. E. B. WE WONDER — Why Odum didn’t attend the mixer Friday night. Why all the sweat about the Fresh- men pennant colors. If the world series has caused any gray hairs on Charles Golder’s head. If the green paint on some of the Freshman girls served as a substitute for rouge. If there wasn’t a little boom in the soap, clorox, and alcohol industries Friday night and Saturday—you know they are good paint removers.

The twelfth of October, 1492, Columbus discovered our America and landed on the little island off the West Indies. Though he was not the first white man to come to Ameri- ca he was the first of a group of ex- plorers to probe the mysteries of the sea. Columbus was one of the few wise men of his time who believed that the earth was round. This, a then un- proved theory, led him to think that he could reach the Orient by sailing west. He wished to prove it. As he was a poor man he had to get finances and he needed plenty of money for a voyage of unknown length. Ten long years were spent in trying to induce some European government to furnish him with means to fit out his expedition, until finally Queen Isabella of Spain offer- ed all of her jewels to help him. His difficulties were not over even then; he could find no men willing to go with him. The sailors did not be- lieve the world round, like ignorant people they were terribly afraid of what they did not understand, and did not intend to explore the outer edge of the great ocean—they might fall off: Even after the voy- age was begun Columbus had to cope with his sailors to keep them at their task and to sail on. We certainly owe him a great deal for discovering our country in spite of these tre- mendous difficulties. Columbus never knew that he had found a new world, believing that he had landed on the coast of India. The world was not very kind to Columbus , other events came up seemingly more important and Columbus and his plans received no attention. He died in want and obscurity. But ail the world knows now that Christopher Columbus was a great man, and no one knows it better than ‘ we who live in the new world he found.—Adapted from Article by Mary I. Curtis. —o—O—o— We have time out—as our next game is with Greeley there, October 23, thus giving us a weeks rest.

Oct. 15, 1931 Miss Margaret Bittinger, Editor, The Skralc, Clarks, Nebr. Dear Editor and Staff:— Enthusiasm and hard work always accomplish a great deal and I enjoy reading the pages and ef- fort put in to your school paper, The Skralc. It reaches me promptly and its reading matter worth while. It proves that you have a good school and have set a goal. You and your staff can well be proud of your school and paper. The best of wishes to your school and its pupils. Respectfully, Sten Nordstedt EDUCATION MOVIE AT HIGH SCHOOL Tuesday morning at 9 o’clock we saw a movie which was both interest- ing and educational. Aimee Porter, a citizen of Auctland, New Zealand, was here in person to explain each picture. All the pictures were in color. Not only were there pictures of scenery, but of natives of New Zealand as well. The auditorium was darkened and a movie screen put up. The admis- j sion charge was 15c for high school ’ students and 10c for grade pupils. Of the money taken in, 25 per cent will go into the High School Activity Fund. We certainly won’t refuse it. The rest will go to the people : sponsoring the movie. We no longer doubt that Mr. Coo- lidge is a real newspaper man. In 1927 he wrote “I do ot choose to run” in six words. In 1931 he was able to say the same thing in two thousand words. CLARKS STUDENTS MAKE FINE SHOWING The results of the American Legion Scholarship Tests at Central City on last Saturday were highly satisfactory so far as Clarks was concerned. There were two divisions of the test, one part on mentality and scholarship and the other on judg- ments and attitudes. Margaret Bittinger placed first in both divisions of the test among the girls. Evelyn Fosbury placed fifth. In the boys section of the contest, Leon Madison won first in the judg- ments and attitudes division and Charles Golder received first in the mentality and scholarship. In the final ratings Leon was placed third and Charles was fourth. Incidentally, the four grades of the Clarks High representatives aver- aged higher than the grades from any of the other five schools:—Central City, Silver Creek, Chapman, Archer and Palmer. If Margaret’s paper is one of the two best in the district, she will re- ceive a trip to the state contest in Omaha, her expenses paid by the Omaha World Herald. We sincerely hope she does achieve this honor. QUESTION BOX 1. Where is Jamaica? 2. To what country does Jamaica belong? 3. What is the largest sea-coast city of Mexico? 4.

Every ' now and then it was opened by some strange black clothed being who stole forth and glided through the rooms unconscious of the surroundings. My . curiousity was aroused and I deter- mined to go through the door. The door yielded to my hand and I found myself in a spacious room surrounded with cases of old books. A hushed stillness reigned except for the racing j of pens over paper, or now and then a sigh from those peculiar looking in- ! dividuals who lifted the huge books. Now and then one of these per- sonages would write something on a slip and ring a bell; thereupon an in- dividual would appear and dissappear only to come back loaded with huge volumes. I ask for an explanation j from one of these familiar objects. A I few words were sufficient. These were authors in the act of t making books. I was in the reading room, of the British Library. This is a way in which Providence has taken care of the seeds of know- ledge; by this method, wisdom shall be preserved from age to age in spite of the decay of the originally produc- ed. In this manner the beauties and fine thoughts of ancient authors are cast into a new form to flourish in a distant time. What was a history becomes a romance; what was a leg- end becomes a play; what was an old dry book of philosophy becomes an essay. Let us not then lament over the decay and oblivion into which writer’s descend.—Contributed. FOOTBALL°NEWS Since we did’nt have a game last week, there is little football news. Mr. Odum, Mr. Vedder and several students saw Stromsburg beat Genoa High and Schuyler be defeated by the Genoa Indians. Both games were at Genoa. Our next home game is with the Genoa Indians on November 6. We also play Genoa High and Stromsburg. Next Friday we play at Greeley. According to our respective scores with Silver Creek this game should be fairly even. Silver Creek beat Greeley 12 to 0. Odum has never lost over two games in a season. We must fight hard to keep the record unbroken. —o—O—o— Asa Pollard, former Clarks athlete and Captain of the football team last year, distinguished himself last Fri- day in the Creighton University Freshman—Norfolk Junior College game by running 65 yards to a touchdown after intercepting a pass. Creighton won the game 20-0. Ace is the smallest player on the Fresh- men team and in the paper was called “the slippery Clarks boy.” Mr. Bittinger brought a radio to the school house Monday. The stu- dents were to listen to President Hoover’s speech given at the 150th anniversary of the Surrender of Cornwallis at Yorktown. After the s tudent body had as- sembled, the radio wouldn’t work. Mr. Walker found some wire and fastened it on some chairs for an aerial. When the radio was again in working order, the President was . through and the program was con- cluded.

M. “It Pays To Advertise”, is a soap comedy that will positively work the audience into a lather of laughter. It is business as run by some inexperi- enced young enthusiasts, and based al- most entirely on advertising. It has a rich man’s son who is tricked into making good; a typical English butler; a Frenchy French maid; an artist who is bored by the “mere thought of business, a great, big, lucky bill-collector; a snappy office girl; a father who disowns his son and then goes into business with him; an agent from Marshal Field’s who has to pay and pay, a French Countess who isn’t a French count;ss, a “friend of the family” who laughs at the hero’s bus'ncss ambitions; a private secre- tary, who, with the aide of a silver- tongued salesman, makes a happy ending in spite of father. —o—O—c— WE WONDER — Why all of the Junior’s sweat in cleaning a hay barn. Why the Seniors seem so depressed. If some of the Freshmen will ever get wise. What some of the kids do when they miss school. When the Freshman are going to | have a party. If the corn picking fever is going to be contagious. If the boys in the lab really meant what they were singing, (Let Me Call You Sweet Heart.) When we shall see the Seniors sporting around with their class rings. a—O—c— Note to High School Students:—Get busy and boost our High School play “It Pays to Advertise.” According to a report to the Presi- dent, by Secretary Stimson, immigra- tion was cut two-thirds last year, the State Department having refused vises for 146,000 applicants. FOOTBALL NEWS We defeated the Irish of Sacred Heart Academy at Greeley 33-0 last Friday. This sounds as though they had not much of a team, but they out- yarded Silver Creek, so draw your own conclusions as to how we played. The Greeley coach remarked that he didn’t see how Silver Creek beat us. A Clarks supporter said that he didn’t either. Junior Osterman, star tackle, was unable to play, but “Rosie” Rose p'ayed a fine game in Osterman’s place. Booth played a good game at quarter back. As a matter of fact the whole team played stellar game. “Tick” Sherwood, business mana- ger of athletics, accompanied the team to Greeley and was instrumental in Clarks’ victory. After the game Friday, the team enjoyed a free sup- per in Fullerton. The second team played Shelby last Tuesday, and beat them by a score of 25 to 14. The game was featured by long runs. Kenny Strasburg made three of the four touchdowns. The Reserves play Shelby, Wednesday October 28 there. The next game is with the Genoa Indians here November 6. This is probably the toughest game on the schedule, but we ought to take ’em. O O ° QUESTION BOX 1. What was the most severe fi- nancial panic in the United States prior to the Civil War? 2.

Everybody knows what success is, but few of us could give a very satis- factory definition of it. As we look round about us we recognize the things and the people who are successful and those who are not. No one alone is responsible for suc- cess in life. Have you ever heard anyone speak of an especially success- ful man saying, “He is self-made?”. We are honest with ourselves, we could think of many circumstances where we are benefited by persons or things with which we come in contact We take opportunity when it comes, but we do not make it exactly. Right now our greatest opportunity is to attend school and derive as much as possible from it. As we daily come into contact with successful teachers and with other boys and girls each has some influence on our life. Many of us possibly do not realize how fortunate we are to live in a country with such a wonderful school system. We may even take our schools so much for granted that we do not fully appreciate them. An education is absolutely necessary for success, and therefore we must take full advantage of our good fortune if we wish to attain it. Success does not come in a day. We must face trials and diappointments and take a Rodney:—Do you know the sheriff? Peale:—No, but I hope I have pull enough to get a cell with a southern exposure. (From, “It Pays To Ad- vertise”) The entire school is glad to wel- come Miss Thomas (the second and third grade teacher) back again. She has been absent seven weeks on ac- count of illness. Miss Riggs of Cen- tral City has been substituting in her place. Teacher’s Convention, which comes every fall, will be held Thursday and Friday of this week. The seven meeting places are:—Omaha, Lincoln, Hastings, Holdrege, McCook, Norfolk and Scotts Bluff. School will be dis- missed at 2:30 Wednesday afternoon. Of course, all the giris and boys are glad to get a vacation. Who would- n’t be? Students, did you ever stop to think how much each Skralc is really worth? This paper is being printed for the benefit of knowing what is go- ing on in school. These will make a very good annual if you save each one and bind them after the thirty- six weeks is up. When you glance over them in later years you will laugh or perhaps sigh at some litt'e thing that brings back memories of the good old school days. —o—O—o— Last year I aiiked a girl to be my wife, and she gave me a decidedly negative reply, so to get even I mar- ried her mother. Then my father married the girl. When I married the girl’s mother, the girl became my daughter, and as my father married my daughter, so he became my son.

FOOTBALL NEWS Odum says he was “very well pleased” with the way the second team played at Shelby last Wednes- day. They threw out their chests and expected the boys from Shelby to run but they didn’t. After beating Shelby a week before 24 to 14, the second team took a 19 to 0 beating over there. Having received in- structions to “open up” Mac McCon- nel, flashy quarterback, passed three times, and all three were intercepted. Junior Osterman, tackle, and the biggest man on the team, did not play against Greeley, but will proba- bly be able to play next Friday against the Indians; we certainly hope so. This game Friday, Nov. 6, with the Genoa Indians is perhaps the toughest that we will undertake this year. But this game must be a victory because Odum has never lost over two games in a season. Margaret Bittinger, winner of the girls division of the American Legion Citizenship contest at Central City, was chosen by Professor Reed of the State University of Nebraska as one of the two girls to represent the sixth district at the final ccmpetition at Omaha on November 5.

THE OTHER SIDE (By Edwin B. Chappell, Jr.) They still refer to it as the “recent war,” and it has been thirteen years since the last gun was fired. Thir- teen years since people all over the civilized world broke out into unre- strained celebration that could not be paralleled in history. But to-day we hear references on every side to the “recent war.” Why? Because we are still from having re- covered from the effects of it. In the light of the present world depres- sion, of the hatred and suspicion that still persist, of ruin and misery and suffering, the war does seem quite recent. Reports from Europe would indi- cate that the only thing that prevents anoc-.e-r war at this time is the bank- rupt condition of several of the lar- ger countries. The extreme na- tionalists of Germany, of France, of Italy, stand to-day as a real obstacle in the path of permanent peace. And no one knows what to expect from Russia with her desperate experi- ments and ambitions. Peace has been declared, but does it actually exist? We are perfectly willing to acknowledge that no Nov- ember 11, 1918 men dropped their guns and returned to their respective homes. But it is not so easy to say that real peace came on that day, be cause it is not so.

We were conducted through the Swift Packing company, where the steps from slaughter to purchaser were interestingly explain- ed. (that night I dreamed of mutton row on row). To end the afternoon we went to the airport and there learned much about the various types of planes, we would have learned much more if they had given us rides, but the sponsor’s couldn’t see it that way. Friday evening the awards were given to the ten winners, the ten best young citizens of Nebraska. The Chairman of the contest, Ralph Pierce, and Prof. A. A. Reed of the Nebraska University were introduced to us formally. We felt very grate- ful to them and Dr. Fordyce, and all of our chaperons, who joined in mak- ing the trip educational and enjoy- able.

Elizabeth Graves PRECIS WRITING Suppose it were perfectly certain that the life a,nd fortune of everyone of us would, one day or other, depend upon his winning or losing a game of chess. Don’t you think that we should all consider it to be a primary duty to learn at least the names and moves of the pieces? Do you not think that we should look with a dis- approbation amounting to scorn, up- on the father who allowed his son, or the state which allowed its mem- bers to grow up without knowing a pawn from a knight? Yet it is very plain and elementary truth, that the life, the fortunes, and the happiness of everyone of us, and, more or less, of those who are con- nected with us, do depend upon our knowing something of the rules of a game infinitely more difficult and complicated than chess. It is a game which has been played for un- told ages, every man and woman of us being one of the two players in a game of his or her own. The chess- board is the world, the pieces are the phenomena of the universe, the rules of the game are what we call the laws of Nature. The player on the other side is hidden from us. We know that his play is always fair, just, and patient. But also we know to our cost, that he never overlooks a mistake, or makes the smallest al- lowance for ignorance. To the man who plays well, the highest stakes are paid, with that sort cf overflowing generosity with which the strong shows delight in strength. And one who plays ill is check-mated—without haste, but with remorse. Well, what I mean by Education is learning the rules of this mighty game. In other words, education is the instruction of the intellect in the laws of Nature, under which name I include not merely things and their forces, but men and the r ways; and the fashioning of the affections and of the will into an earnest and loving- desire to move in harmony with those laws.—Huxley: A Libei’a.l Education. —o—O—o— SENIOR NOTES It has been said that Ed Feehan learns history by the blindfold method His originality leads to the belief that he sees the past through rose-colored glasses, to say the least.

It’s lots of fun. We cut out our “paper dolls” and mount them on drawing paper. This is our catalogue which we show to our dealers who come to our large stores to purchase goods for their store. Of course we will give them a string of discounts so they’ll buy more. Here’s where the work comes in. We have to work this out. Magistrate: (to prisoner) :—“How big was the brick you threw?

When Mr. Vedder Joe Sweet’s, he said “Who made gypsy dress design?” P e Sophomores are planning a Par;y in the near future in fact, supposed to be this Wednesday. Most of us miss much of the satis- faction which life might afford be- cause we are inclined to hurry through life without taking time to really appreciate the things it is our good fortune to possess. That is why it is so desirable that we cele- brate the Thanksgiving festival in the spirit which it is assumed to promote. It should be a day of feasting, a day of home-comings, a day of recreation a day of gladness. Also there should be a few mom- ents of the day spent in retrospect- ive meditation. What are our most treasured possessions? Are they the friends with whom we associate daily in the routine of school work. These school friendships, though consider- ed easuaLy now, will grow in value as time passes, and never lose their worth or disappear. Perhaps you most cherish the op- portunities for intellectual or spiritual achievement. Again the school is the main factor in the Thanksgiving. A bit of reflection may lead to the discovery that in reality little of our time is spent in acquiring the things which we are realiy thankful to pos- sess and that give us the most hap- piness. Also we may find that the experiences which we treasure are not the ones we try hardest to pre- serve. Old age lives largely in the past, it has been said. If this is true, few will enjoy a happy senility. If we are led to this unfortunate discovery, the best possible remedy is an immediate shifting of our goals we hope to finally attain. We should begin to strive to a higher achieve- ment, an achievement that will lead to the true appreciation of the things that make life worthwhile, happy and beautiful. We all have many things to extend thanks for. We have our health, homes, and the necessities of life along the material vein. And most important, we, as begin- ners in life’s great maelstrom, have an entire career to mould into some- thing toward which to point with j WE WONDER — If the laboratory is a music store, or a junk pile, or a combination of both.

STUDENT TICKETS AND SCHOOL PLAYS There seems to be some question as to what a student ticket is. A stu- dent ticket is a ticket sold by the student of the Clarks High School, to the members of the Clarks schools, for the purpose of raising funds for the support of athletics and the school paper, both of which are spon- sored by the Clarks schools. Stu- dent tickets admit the holders there- of to all functions which arise naturally from the school activities. School activities are those which are the natural result of the activities of the school organization. Football, basketball, and baseball are athletic act! it es which grow from, and are a part of the school organiza- tion. The music department is a part of the school organization, and, also, musicales and operettas are activities which are the natural pro- duct of the school organization. To such activities, the holders of student tickets are admitted without ad- ditional charge. The tickets were sold for the support of such activities of the school. The school hires the athletic coach, provides for an ath- letic department, but all equipment, the officials, and all expenses inci- dential to athletic activities must be raised by the student body; the school hires a musical supervisor in the high school, and it is to support such activities that student tickets are sold. The instructors are employed by the school, the students who partici- pate in such activities receive school credit for their work. It follows, naturally, that the holders of student tickets are entitled to admittance to any affairs put on by the organiza- tion of the school, without further charge. This has never been denied. The student who buys a student ticket derives a substantial benefit from the ownership of it. In the average school year the school puts on ap- proximately five home football games, two operettas, five basketball games, and four baseball games. For the | holders of high school student tickets this makes an average cost for admis- sion to each function of 9.5 cents; for the grades it is 4.2 cents. The usual admission charged high school students who do not have student tickets is 25 cents, while in the grades 15 cents is charged for each perfor- mance. By checking these charges with the number of functions the school puts on for the student, one can readily see that the ownership of a student ticket involves a substantial financial advantage. There are other types of activities, w'hich, while indirectly sponsored by the school, are not a result of school activities. These activities are put on voluntarily by selected members of the student body. Such members as participate in such activities are merely contributing their time and talent to such functions. They re- ceive no credit for such work. The instructors who sponsor such activi- ties are not hired by the school to do such work, neither do they receive compensation for such work. The plays put on by the various organiza- tions of the school are most perti- nent illustration of this latter type of so-called school activities. Plays are not a p r‘„ of the school activities in the strict sense of the word, but are merely subs diary to school work. There is no dramatic department in the Clarks schools to sponsor plays. Plays are put on by members of the school for the purpose of raising money needed for the support of some extra-curricula activity. Since these plays are put on specifically for the purpose of raising funds, it would be absurd to admit them on a student ticket. This would defeat the pur- pose for which the play is given.

In his four years com- ! petition he has never missed a game. He is one of the leaders of his cla'ss j in scholarship, and on the playing field he displays a brand of courage | and leadership that could well be the pattern of future Clarks players. He is the ideal athlete and scholar. i Kenny Strasburg, a Senior but playing his first year of football here, played an excellent defensive game at halfback. He broke up many passes ! and in the Greeley game he snatched j one and run for a touchdown. Junior “Fat” Osterman, in earning ; his second letter was a bear on the ; defense, a veritable stone-wall. Few runners got through his tackle! j Clarks Williams, coming in from ! Pleasant Hill, made great advance- : ment as the season progressed. He i was playing as substitute at the | opening of the season, but was hold- ing a regular position during the last four games. ! Glen Bush was both an offensive and defensive mainstay. The job of kicking fell to him and he did it well. His drop-kick in the final minute of the game gave Clarks the 3-point margin over the Genoa In- dians. He has another year of com- petition. Leo Ksiazek, though light for a lineman, played a bang-up defensive game. He, too, is a Junior. Del Thompson, a freshman play- ing his first year of football, made steady improvement throughout the season. His work of the defense was especially good. Donny Stumpff, another freshman, shone especially on the offense, charging hard and fast. Harold Howe, also playing his first year, showed great promise as a cen- ter, he backed up the line nicely. Clarks will miss him next year, since he has moved away.

School football is co-curricu- lar rather than extra-curricular activ- ities. 2. Football is a method of edu- cation. 3. Football provides the behavior and character laboratory of the school. 4. Football belongs equally to the Department of Social Science and the Department of Health and Physi- cal Education. 5. “Do unto the other fellow the way you would like for him to do un- to you, and do it first,” is the guid- ing spirit of our inter-school foot- ball. (Continued from Page 1) Don Schank, while not carrying the ball much, was responsible for many Clarks points because of his blocking and interference. Eddy Booth, who ran the team in a commendable fashion and was very effective in reverse play, has the knack of putting fight in the rest of the team. He has another year left to play. Leroy Lands, a capable substitute at guard and half-back, filled both of these positions creditably for the season. Leslie “Moosic” Kohlhof, a fast- charging end, turned in most of the plays that came his way. He also has another year to play. Frankie Rose, playing his first year at guard and tackle, was very de- pendable on the defense. Bob Rines, playing his second year but lettering for the first time was the lightest lineman on the squad. He had an unquenchable fighting spirit. He is a Junior. Wayne Huff, a new-comer, playing his first football, made rapid improve- ment. He greatly enjoys playing and is impatiently awaiting next year-, and more football. Roland “Gib” Gibson, substituting at center earned a letter. He was fine on defense and a reliable passer. He is a freshman. Clarence “Mac” McConnell, a great fighting quarterback, missed a letter by only a few minutes. Harold Phelps shows promise as a fast half-back. Francis “Francie” Martin is a line plunger of apparent ability. Jimmy Roach will develop into an able quarterback. All three are Freshmen. Royal Gibson, an eighth-grader shows promise as a triple-threater. He can run, pass and kick with ex- ceptional ability. Harold “Bud” Schank, a husky freshman, makes things look good for future Clarks lines. Bruce “Red”, “Daisy” Cowgill, substitute center, while light, has great fighting spirit. He looked good whenever called upon. Gonzolo “Mcx” Sanchez, future end material, was halted in mid-sea- son by an injury. Harold “Tick” Sherwood, business manager, has shown flashes of finan- cial brilliance that makes friends pre- dict career for him that will excell even Henry Ford’s. —Charles T.

Harry Davis, Rachel Crain, and Myrtle Anderson were the only ones not present. We had one guest, Lester Marshall, and one visitor, a senior, Irene Botker. Such games as dodge ball, Winkin’ and Blinkum, Roll Call and others were played. Every Sophomore there had a good time. Everyone had a good time, at least they said so. A delicious lunch of sandwiches and salad was served about 10:30 P. M. The boys helped with the dishes. Of course, Clarence had to break a jar of mayonaisse. Mrs. Morrison and Herschel came in time to get in on the lunch as did Delbert Thomp- son and P.aymond Hurd. Mr. Ved- der was there also. The other class- es will have to go soma to enjoy them selves more than the Sophomores. —O—O—O— The Junior Class show’ the most school spirit, as they had the largest representative group at the tourna- ment Monday night. The Freshmen were second and then came the Sophomcres. The Seniors were represented but it was a rather slim representation. Now don't you think the Seniors should show the most instead of the least spirit? —o—O—o— The Freshmen have asked for the gym on Wednesday 23, to have a Xmas party.

Before the precious attar of rose can perfume the world, its petals must be pressed, and the fruit of the vineyard must feel the weight of the press before it can grace the banquet board. Thinking is a form of exercise, and growth comes only through exercise— that is to say, expression. Gold must be tried in the crucible in order to remove the dross. “I’m going your way, so let us go hand in hand. You help me and I’ll help you. We shall not be here very long, for soon, Death, the kind old nurse, will come and rock us all to sleep—let us help one another while we may”. No regrets however bitter or sin- cere will change the fate of today. The greatest ally of progress is imagination. No one is useless in this world who lightens the burden of it to anyone else. —o—O—o— QUESTION BOX Prf sident s 1. Where did Johnson take the oath of office after Lincoln’s death? 2.

There- fore, they obey the laws of right liv- ing which the best Americans have always obeyed. Good Americans play fair. Strong play increases and trains one’s strength and courage. Sportsmanship helps one to be a gentleman, a lady. Therefore: 1. I will not cheat. I will keep the rules but I will play' the game j hard, for the fun of the game, ! to win by strength and skill. If I j should not play fair the loser would j lose the fun of the game, the winner ! would lose his self respect, and the ' game itself would become a mean and ! often cruel business. 2. I will treat my opponents with courtesy and trust them if they de- serve it. I will be friendly. 3. If I play in a group game I will play, not for my own glory, but for the success of my team. 4. I will be a good loser or a generous winner. 5. In my work as well as in my Betty Lou Douglas was a Grand Island visitor Monday. Miss Enda Dexter of Palmer visit- ed our room Friday.

Department stores pub- lish the phrase as they wish to save their clerks from the terrible last j minute rush, and to protect their goods that may be crushed or stolen in the jam of demanding customers yelling for, service. And then too the customer is more pleased if he has more time to select his Xmas I gifts. Our postal system wants the peo- i pie to “shop early” as the earlier the present is bought, the earlier it is mailed and the fewer extra trips for the mailman on the last day. Con- sider it your duty to get your shop- ping done early. It is not only important to get this one job done early, but to do every little task at the proper time. Make it a rule, to plan for each day’s work—not merely to go through with the same routine of daily duties, but to get rid of the routine w-ork as early as possible, and then to enter upon some new or advance work. Finish your tasks every day so that on the morrow you can begin a new day of work. Never let work drive you, but so master it, and keep it in such complete control, and keep so far ahead of it, that you will be the master instead of the servant. In other words, “Do your work (Chris- tmas Shopping) early.” Margaret Bittinger CLARKS PLAYS HIGH PRAIRIE The Clarks High Cagers took two practice tilts from High Prairie High at the Clarks gym Tuesday evening. Although the games were billed as practice affairs, a good sized crowd was on hand to witness the contests. Nineteen men took part for Clarks in the reserve game, t‘ie Clarks Reserves ; winning by a score of 14 to 10. Me- 1 Connel was high point man with ' seven counters. The first team game was a free scoring affair, Clarks coming back to win 25-23 after trailing at the half 16-12. Much good basket ball and much bad basket ball was displayed during the evening which would naturally be expected in an early season practice game. Strasburg led the scorer’s with 16 points and Bush was second with 7 points. � _ _ _ . _� JUST A GIGGLE LOW Mr. Odum:—“Give me an example of foreign entanglements.” Charles G.:—“A meal of spaghetti.” . . . .♦.

The points and rules were read and explained in Chapel Friday by Mr. Vedder. Monday they were taken up by the class sponsors at class meetings. Each point was discussed and desirable changes were accepted. After desirable ammendments are made the whole plan will be put up to the High School in assembly to be accepted or rejected. The plan gives recognition and credit for all extra-curricular acti- vities as well as along required lines. Approximately one credit is to be al- lowed for each 15 hours work. This plan if put into effect will give high school students definite things to work for. The plan in full will be published next week.

They are al- ways looking for something new and something different. We soon tire of hearing some stories and become disinterested in a book after reading it once. There is one story, how- ever, of which we never tire, the Christmas story, and the one day in which we are always interested, Christmas Day. We have been re- membering this day for hundreds of years and people have devised hun- dreds of ways of remembering it. The Christmas carols we sing, the greeting cards we send to our friends and neighbors, all help to tell our own special version of this story. A gay wreath of holly hung in a window, a tinsel covered perched atop a Chris- tmas t ee, all show that in some way we, too, like to remind others of our interest in this special occasion. Many, many years ago, a group of shepherds watching their flocks by night just outside the village of Bethlehem, heard a message, “Peace on earth, good will to men”, and down through the march of the years this message has brought peace to the weary stumblers and good will to our fellow travelers along life’s pathway, i As long as this spirit of kindness and unselfishness endures we shall still remember and revere the Christmas Season. —Ethel Jane Maurer —O—O—O— BASKET BALL SCHEDULE Jan. 8, Fullerton there Jan. 15, Shelby here Jan. 22, St. Edwards there Jan. 26, Duncan there Jan. 29, Genoa there Febr. 10, Shelby there We also have two games with Cen- tral City, one here and one there, rr.d a game here with Silver Creek.

We, the Seniors, are telling you that this paper is such a good paper rather than let you find it out for yourselves be- cause that old proverb is undoubt- edly true. “If you don’t blow your own horn, no one else will.” We have not meant any offense to the under-classmen by our boasting but if they feel belittled to too great an extent, all that can be said to them is, “If the shoe fits, borrow it.” —The Seniors her bit by the orchestra.

SENIOR CLASS PLAY PICKED “SKEET” has been selected as the Senior Class Play. It is a three-act comedy-drama by H. Davis Sappen- field. It is a clever combination of mystery and comedy that has proved to be a great success in schools where it has been presented. The mystery is not the “blood-curd- ling” type which is difficult to handle by amateurs and distasteful in some communities. Nevertheless the mystery element deepens throughout the play to the climax and can be handled to a nicety by the talent of the Senior class. The setting is original in that the action takes place in the canyon country of northern Arizona on a modern ranch that has been leased by a wealthy eastern lady. The plot is not a “wild-west” type nor a “dude-ranch” type but the canyon country setting is an interesting twist away from the ordinary rural or city setting. “Skeet” is valuable historically as it involves material concerning the ear- ly cliff-dwelling peoples of our south- est. Watch For Date! If you like this issue of the Skralc tell us about it. THIS AND THAT ABOUT SENIORS When we went to interview the members of the class for the Senior ! Paper we got the following state- ments :— Eddy was the first on our list. ! When we found him in Room 3 he I was, for once in his life, actually reading a book for book-report so we didn’t bother him. When we came to Bill’s seat we saw he was in deep thought trying to write a note to Ory. A few minutes later, when we went ; to her, she was answering it so we didn’t get anything from either of them. Chas. looked quite vicious when he could not get material for this paper so we decided not to risk our necks. Dough was in a heated argument with Odum about a history test and he was talking so fast we j couldn’t get a word in edgewise. We joyfully moved out of hearing dis- 1 tanee to Fat’s seat. He was wonder- ing if he had chosen a good gift for Emma and he would not make any coherent statement. Matty was so busy answering apologies from fel- lows who wanted to take his girl home that we never talked to him at all. ; Becky was writing a letter to her beaux and wouldn’t be bothered. Maggie was so busy, refusing suitors that she couldn’t spare the time. P. S. “she had plenty of time to send fellows away down-hearted”. Kate was so occupied in writing a gossipy (Continued on Page 7) —o—O—o— THE QUESTION BOX 1.

However, there are other kinds of resolutions. One, which is common in our school, and which would be valuable if lived up to, is the so-called after-exams resolu- tion. After examinations, when the papers of your weaker subjects are handed back, and you perhaps see a bright x-ed “D” or occasionally an “F” on one, the following resolutions are usually formed:— 1. I hereby resolve to study my lessons everyday and stop writing notes, or day dreaming, (or whatever your weakness may be). 2. I resolve to be more attentive and responsive in class recitations. 3. I will be better prepared for future examinations by spending more time in reviewing. But, a'as, like so many of our New Year’s resolutions, these are too often quickly forgotten and the same un- fortunate thing occurs again. Now, wouldn’t it be extraordinary and really satisfying to ourselves and our teachers if we could make such resolutions and keep them? We would probably all be excused at 3:40 j for being “A” and “B” students, and j we would be proud to take our report cards home instead of ashamed to, as many of us undoubtedy are. Our teachers would be put to much less effort attempting to motivate our in- terest in lessons, and our school re- ! cord would be a pride instead of a disappointment to everyone. If we form the habit of keeping the I resolutions we make in school life, it will be of great value in later years because resolutions kept help to form a strong will-power which is an im- portant factor in character-building. —Evelyn Fosbury —O—O—O— LOOK AHEAD, FRESHMAN I am, in behalf of the Class of ’32 warning and begging the C’ass of ’36 to look forward to four years hence. Then you will occupy the enivable position of Seniors (if you can get by Algebra, Geometry and a few other tough ones.) You have the same j chance to become honored and re- | spected Seniors as we had when i Freshman. You will not make as i much of this chance as did we, for no class can attain as much as this great c’ass that I am humbly proud to be a member of. However, in a tone of advice, I shall tell you what to do and when to ; do it to finally be eligible for gradu- ! ation. Ilei'e is the recipe:— As Freshman you must study hard (those teachers take great delight in flunking “greenies”), sleep soundly, I eat your spinach regularly, and love | your fellow class men, as you do yourself. (Most Frosh are conceit- ed ) When you have mounted the second step of this great stair and have be- come a full-fledged Sophomore, you j may refrain from eafng the spinach, but you must continue to sleep, study and love your fellow classmen, as well as to begin to acquire a hauty attitude that will be very be-; fitting to you as a Senior. Next comes your year of being j snobbish Juniors. You should do ! your best to treat the Seniors decent- | ly without letting them reduce you to j ;t.cr scrvi ity. As Juniors j or er need, to sleep soundlj won’t if you worry about the quet anyway) and you can b� taper off the studying. Yo, be careful, don’t quit studying once because if you do theta will get wise. When you enter the role haughty and dignified Senior, study no more, sleep two hoar (if you get home in time),a!ii to school merely to keep theta company.

Alice Becker, high heels, who entered our class the kindergarten with five other rober? of our present class, has ;ingui:hed herself as Treasurer of Stundent Council. All through mol she has shown her ability in ■hand drawing, (taking first prize water color paintings at the State iir),and she now draws the cartoon ip, “F.udy” for the Skralc. Alice taking the Normal Training Course is planning to teach. She has in part in three plays, being the aid in the one-act play, “Jerry,” hav a part in “Here Comes Patricia,” paying another maid role in “It s t) Advertise.” Evelyn Fosbury is the tall gir. with dreamy look. She became one of a kindergartener. She is nous for her voice, having always lived leading roles in operettas, Hidwimmer Night’s Dream,” “The :hing Well,” and “The Windmills Holland.”) She has sung the la;t dyears in the district musical con- tand she is al o an accomplished ‘ puist, piaying in the school orches- Eve'yn is taking the Normal lining Course and plans to attend ai is ic n next year.

She is a member of the Chorus and Expression Class. Margy has had parts in several plays. As a Freshman she had a small role in “Jerry” and another in, “Alias the Deacon”; as a Junior she was in the class p.ay and this year she took the part of the French Countess in, “It Pays To Advertise”. She represent- ed the sixth district in the Young Citizens Contest sponsored by the World Herald and the American Legion. Also she is the editor of the Skra c and the Secretary-Treasurer of the Senior Class. Franklin Pierce Osterman, Jr., is that suave, fat, black-headed young gentleman. He entered the class in the kindergax-ten, too, and has now- managed to stay with us. He is tak- ing the Normal Training Course. Junior has a foot ball record, sings in chorus, had a small part in, “It Pays To Advertise”, and played opposite the lead in, “II -re Comes Patricia.” Edward Irtehan became one of us twelve and one-ha!f years ago and has been arguing ever since. He holds the undisputed championship for being able to argue on nothing and win his point. Fie undoubtedly owes his great debating ability to his suspicious nature and we must also contribute to his success in writing the “We Wonder” column for the Skralc to that. Ed is taking a gen- eral course, plays a trombone in the band, and is a member of the Expres- sion Class. He had the part of Bud (Continued on Page 6) SENIOR CLASS AS SPORTSMEN The Senior Class of 1931-32 have had a notable representation in ath- letics since they entered the Clarks High School as Freshman. The first year of high school the class had two representatives in foot- ball Leon Madison and Edward Booth, both lettermen, but Eddy only went the first semester. He started at the beginning of the second semester with the next Freshman Class and is now a Junior. Madison was also high scor- er on Clarks team and got honorable mention as an ail state Freshman player. In basket bail we had eight repre- sentatives, Junior Osterman, Earl Walker, Gaylord Sherwood, Paul Hardy, Leon Madison, Harold Sher- wood, Edward Shemek and Edward Feehan, but there were no letter- men. The Freshmen had one member on the track team, Leon Madison. He took first place in the half-mile and earned himself a letter in track. The tennis courts were not made until in the spring of our Freshmen year so we had no representatives. The boys took no interest in base- ball though we were always there to yell for the team and would have had some good baseball material if it had been developed. Thus ending our chance for anymore athletics until the next fall when football season would begin. The next fall when school started Madison,who had proved to be a star half-back the year before, was ready to try it over again and Junior Oster- man was out for his first year. Madi- son played in every battle always with i.ie fighting spirit that it takes to win. Osterman fought some hard battles during the season but he did not let- ter. Madison for the second season was high scorer on the Clarks team. The basket ball season found the c.ass, as Sophomores, with only five players, Leon Madison, Harold Sher- wood, Eddy Shemek, Gaylord Sher- wood and Earl Walker. In the class tournament we did not win a game but we surely made a good showing considering the teams we played. The Junior and Senior teams were (Continued on Page 8) Clarks, Nebraska, January 6, 1932 POETS’ CORNER PIANO-PLAYING I think that I shall learn to play A grand piano some bright day.

A time when books are put aside And many different games are tried; A time when weary ones may rest , Just after passing through a test; A time when teachers can relax By list’ning to each other’s ‘cracks’ That some poor pupil just had made, j Thus hoping to improve his grade. Recess was made for folks like me, So why, in high schools, can’t it be? —Evelyn Fosbury - . . . . LIMERICKS There is a young man named Ed. He thinks he has a smart head. Being Irish he is proud And thinks we’re all cowed But few are afraid, it is said. —Leon Madison They say the boys from Clarks High Are inclined to try to get by With so little of work All the rest do the shirk It makes the poor teachers all sigh. —Alice Becker A SONNET 0! Could I find a lovely leafless tree With twisted branches all so square and lean, lean Through which perhaps the golden moon I’d see A’riding down a sky of silver-green? And could I sit upon a winding wall That’s known the sighing winds young eager voice And in the twilight some birds nesting call? Ah, yes, ’tis then I’m sure I could re- joice And sing a happy song of verdant earth, Of rains and snows that come and winds that blow. All these will give this barren tree new birth, And all of them unite to make us know That this great universe is not man’s toy; Instead, all moves at His own will and joy. Chas. T. Golder How I Pass The Time Away I sit in American History class, And dream of the world outside, And between me and that other world There seems a great divide. A wall of brick was built between, And it shuts off all the view, But after school when I go outside, There never is anything new.

It seems that some one wanted to have the re- cord for fat people held by the Senior C.ass.

The first grade had company yes- i terday afternoon. Margaret Bittinger brought her doll and Junior Osterman, ; brought his teddy bear. There w’as great confusion on the playground this noon when Edw’ard fell off the teeter-totter. Alice Becker got. a gold star this ; morning because she remembered to brush her teeth. LaVeta Haynes told us the story of “The Little Red Hen” in Reading yesterday. Clarks, Nebraska, January 6, 1932 THE SENIORS IN REVIEW (Continued from Page 3) Flannigan in the Junior Class Play, and was the butler in “It Pays to Ad- vertise.” Ed is that loose-jointed boy that stands there trying to con- vince Odum that the History books should be revised to suit his (Ed’s) view on the events. Charles T. Golder started school here one year later than the rest of us and didn’t join the class until five years later when he was promoted in- to the fifth grade from the fourth. He too is taking the Normal Training course. He is a combination of height and big words, being able to use bigger w'ords and talk longer than any other class mate (except Ed) and being the tallest boy in school. He is a member of Chorus and the Expression Class and was the title character in, “Jerry.” Charles plac- ed fourth in the boys’ division of the Young Citizens Contest in the county. That fellow is Leon Madison, our class president. He became one of us in the sixth grade and then moved to District 50, but rejoined us as a class president, who became one of the ideal all-around student, as he is an excellent athlete and has a “B” average. Leon has had 4 years of football, being Captain of the team this year. This is his fourth year of basketball and track. He is a mem- ber of chorus and expression class. He had the part of Tim in, “Here Comes Patricia”, and of the Professor in, “Jerry.” He is a Normal Trainer. Kathryn Lavelle is the girl with the dark, curly hair, (yes, the one that writes all those notes). Kate attend- ed school here in the lower grades, then went to Pleasant Hill, and re- turnd here as a Freshman. She takes Expression and sings in the Chorus. She sang a solo part in the operetta, “The Wishing Well.” Kate is taking a general course and plays a violin in Orchestra. Helen Rose is that pretty Normal Trainer. She attended school here in the lower grades, being known as Helen Frances. She finished the grades, at District 50 and entered High School as a Freshman. Helen is a member of the chorus; she takes expression and had the part of Ange- lina Knoop in, “Here Comes Patricia.” That snappy miss is Orel LaVeta Haynes, one of the seven of our pre- sent class who first came to Clarks High as a Freshman. She is a hard- working Normal Trainer. She sings in Chorus and is a member of the Ex- pression Class. Last year she had the role of Elsie Crowder in the Jun- ior Play. The little boy with the big eyes and quick fingers, Eddy Shemek, is our cartoonist. (See cartoon page.) Eddy is taking Normal Training and is the lead tenor in chorus. He let- tered in tennis last year and though he was elected yell leader he leaves most of the yelling to the “rest o’ the ids.” Eddy had a prominent part in “Here Comes Patricia”, and the lead j in, “It Pays to Advertise.” Alva Sims is the tail girl who came here as a Freshman. She has such a mixed program that we seldom see her in our classes, but she is a true Senior anyway. Louis Tomasiewicz is the little, black-haired boy, (you wouldn’t be very big either if you had to carry such a big name.) Louis has a rep for never attending a football game— but he has been seen at basketball games and he did come to one class party. Charles Beck and Louis are the in- seperables, having hung together since coming here as Freshmen. They are always laughing at each other. Harold Sherwood, the only Senior boy with glasses, started with his bro- ther Gaylord in the eighth grade. Both boys are taking Normal Training and both are in Chorus. Harold play ed the part of Adam Wade in, “Here Comes Patricia,” and Cyrus Martin in, “It Pays to Advertise.” What a cross old man Tick can be! Kenneth Strasburg is one of the three that entered the class this year. He is from Arkansas and this last snow is one of the few that he has ever seen. He is taking a general course, and is a member of the chorus. Kenny lettered in his first year of football and is the making of this year’s basketball team. Ethel Burger,, the round girl with the snappin’ eyes, came in from Plea- sant Hill this year. She is taking a general course and chorus. You can’t miss Clark Williams as he wears red cords. He liked our school and the Seniors so well that he left Pleasant Hill to graduate He lettered in football this Clark is taking a general course.

The Sopnomore year found us with four tennis players. There were no games scheduled with other towns so a tournament was started among the high school students, but the rainy weather made the courts so soft we could not finish it and no one lettered. We found about the same attitude toward baseball as we had found the first year of school so we had no re- presentatives. There was no track during our second year of high school making it quite impossible for anyone to enter on this sport, but when these sports were l’eady for another vacation. When school began the next year we were ready to proceed with our studies where we had left them at the end of our Sophomore year. Along with studies football began with Osterman and Madison ready to take up their old places on the gridiron. They were both on the first squad and certainly displayed some fighting spirit during the season, both earned themselves a letter, also, Madison got honorable mention as an all-state Jun- ior football player. If other players would pattern by their playing spirit Clarks would have some outstanding players on their future football teams. When basketball season opened we had only four Cagers due to lack of interest on the part of some and others had moved away to attend other schools, but there was no class tournament so we had no reason to look for more players, though they could have been found if it were ab- solutely necessary for it took little talking to get the members of our class interested in athletics. This was the third year for the Cagers of our class. One, Leon Madison, play- ed on the first team and three Gaylord Sherwood, Edward Shemek and Har- old Sherwood were members of the second squad. The group as a whole showed good team work and school spirit, though the outcome of the basketball season was nothing to be proud of. The next sport in line for the ath- letes was track. Those from the class reporting were Madison and Shemek. After some hard practice usually in cold damp weather, the track team was taken to Osceola to compete against other track teams of the Conference where Madison took first place in the half-mile, earning himself another letter in track. Immediately following track were baseball and tennis with Juniors re- porting for both. They were more interested in tmnis and finally drop- ped baseball to specialize in it. It, evidently, did them some good for we had two letfermen, Eddy Shemek and Gaylord Sherwood, and with the end cf tmnis came the end of our athletic ca:e r as Juniors. The next tlat was heard of our c’a t in athletics was in our Senior year, the last year to help Clarks High. Starting the usual fall sport, footba’l, were Leon Madi: on, Kenneth Slrasburg, Jun’or Osterman and Clark Williams. A little later in the reason Feehan, the flash of the Clarks football for about a week, reported at practice. He was such a line rma her he usually ran over some cf the lineman and the resu’t was injury. After he played in this manner for about a week Odum told him he better not play anymore because he used no equipment except a pair of pants and a jersey. ■''n o -omo of footha’i for the Seniors was four lettermen Leon Madison, Kenneth Strasburg, Clark Wil’iams and Junior Osterman. Madison was, also, hi h ?eo -r on the Clarks team for the third time. Immediately foi'owig football, wc, the Seniors, got our last chance to : how what we could do in basketball and we took this chance. The Cap- ers representing the Senior Class in the tournament were Leon Madison, Kenneth Strasburg, Harold Sherwood, Clark Williams, Cay ord Sherwood, Junior Osterman and Eddy Shemek. After a few nights practice we met the Sophomore team for our first battle which proved to be a victory for us by a margin of 35-9. The next team in order for the team of ’32 was the team of ’35, which had been look- ing good in practice for Freshmen, but they had little chance Senior team such as we display niehts before against the Sophd This game was, also, captured score of 30-2, and we had one team, the Juniors left on our sche which from previous statistics be a close game, but the o showed it entirely different Seniors were victorious for with a score of 24-6, and endlcj class tournament.

How many students in the Senior and Junior classes are taking Normal Training? 3. What are the requirements for | a graduate in the Normal Training class ? 4. How many one room rural schools are there in Nebraska? 5. Who is the State Superintendent of Public Instruction? 6. How many of the 6 Juniors and Seniors that are excused at 3:40 are Normal Trainers? Answers on last page OUR JUNIOR NORMAL TRAINING Being this is a special Normal Training edition, of course we want to occupy some of the space to tell you about the activities of our class. There are thirteen members, all twelve Junior girls and one boy, Bruce Cowgill. Bruce being the only boy is sort of handicapped. Due to his gentlemanly tendencies he is the last one through a door, last at the book shelf, and last everywhere. At the beginning of the year our first duty was in Arithmetic. Such combinations as 2 plus 2, or 2 plus 3 that had always been such a serious menace to us in previous Arithmetic classes were thoroughly mastered. Step by step we learned to add, multiply, subtract, and divide. We sincerely believed we knew every- thing to learn about these funda- mentals, but alas! some of us suffer- ' ed a severe blow when we received ■ our Teacher’s exam grades. Speak- : ing of Teacher’s exams, we didn’t do | so bad at that. The State School j law requires that Junior Normal Trainers pass at least six of the examinations by the latter part of the I summer following their Junior year. Four of our class have passed one- third and one member has passed two-thirds of this requirement in one chance. Our next adventure was in book- , keeping. We learned everything in ' six weeks that it took the Senior I Commercial Law class a semester to I learn. We studied banking and made a thorough investigation of the short selling of the stock market. Don’t be surprised if Bruce annexes a million or two before he is gray headed. It will only be the result ■ of serious forethought given when he was a Junior Normal Trainer. One of our very interesting pro- ; jects was when we all became mer- j chants. We made our own cata- logs, marking prices and offering dis-. j counts. Maybe it would have been to the advantage of some customers to buy from us.

Those who have taken training in colleges aim for Kenneth says, “No.” JUNIOR NOTES The Civics class have two more chapters in their book to complete.

A SONG Tune:—“Twenty Froggies Went to School.” Normal Trainers went to school At Clarks High, to learn the rule. Every brain was very keen As I know you all have seen. “We must oe in time,” said they, “We will study, but not play” That is how they keep the rule When future teachers go to school. Teacher Moorman, grave and stern, CaFed the c’asses in their turn Taught them how to use the rule On the kids, when they teach school, From her seat before them all Showed them how to teach the small, Also how to dodge a blow From the “wads” which bad boys throw. Every Trainer learned real fast Teachers they’d become at last Not one lesson they’ll forget And not one dunce among them yet. Polished to a high degree As a teacher ought to be. Soon each will teach a rural school Feeling like a molecule. —Evelyn Fosbury Miss Moorman:—Who was that who laughed aloud? Pupil:—I did, but I didn’t mean to do it. Miss Moorman:—You didn’t mean to do it? Pupil:—No, ma’am; I laughed in my sleeve, and I didn’t know there was a hole in my elbow. Clarks, Nebraska, January 13, 1932 JUNIOR NORMAL TRAINING (Continued from Page 1) If any farmer, or farmer to be, needs any advice on keeping farm ac- counts they might consult a Junior Normal Trainer. Also, if there are any young men that want to be mar- ried but are worried about finances, just come around to us, we can give first-class information on budgeting and the keeping of household ac- counts. Every morning since the begin- ! ning of the year we have taken a five minute drill test. Of course we have something to work for. If we correctly finish the test the first time we get our name in red chalk on the board. If we are fortunate enough to finish the second time it is in white ' chalk. Now after reading this perhaps the Freshmen and Sophomores will give Normal Training a second thought, j Let us assure you that there is | nothing dry in it and we have very interesting classes. —Dorothy Luft, Elizabeth Fee- han, and Henrietta Wilson __________ j TEACHERS’ EXAMINATIONS Teachers’ Examinations will be conducted from the Clarks School Saturday, January 16, instead of go- : ing to Central City.

KINDERGARTEN AND FIRST You will all recall what a stormy morning, Tuesday, January the fifth was. There were only five absent from the kindergarten and first grade. One of these five was sick, and another one lives two and one half miles from town. I think these little folks should be commended for their nerve. There were only five absent Wednesday morning. Of course the boys and girls do not deserve all the credit. The parents should be praised for getting the pupils here. The attendance in this room this year is much better than it has been the two preceding years. Let’s continue to have it so. FOURTH AND FIFTH GRa Mr Vedder gave out n last Friday to be taken in and 5th grades. These tests | the Every Pupil Scholarship 1 and are being given in many schools. Those making the j scores in order of their standing as follows:— Fifth Grade:—Virginia Cop Earl Mustard, Georgia Opal Lumadue, Doris Anne Doi and Anita Lindahl.

The Parents Part In The Knighthood Youth (Tc Be He’d In The Grades) In this program, parents have a very important part. This plan pro- vides opportunities for them to co- operate cosely with the teacher in the activities of the child that help in character development, both in the home and outside of it. Like knights of old, members of the club have ad- ventures. They are at all times seeking ways to make the school and the home happier places in which to live. Helping parents in the daily duties of the home, keeping their own rooms clean, learning to cook and a'l the duties at home, especially duties which the child has not been doing previously. Members of the club also try to overcome bad habits which are called dragons. Health habits make good adven- tures. For each adventure complet- ed or bad habit overcome a stone in this member’s castle will be colored. Large group castles in each room will be used for group adventures. CLARKS VS. SHELBY In a double header last Friday the Clarks second stringers came out at the short end of a 15-6 count with the Shelby Reserves. The games were I played on the home court. The first team was more fortunate. , In the first half it was a runaway with ' the Clarks Cagers sinking them pretty regularly. The score at the end of the first half was 18-4 with little doubt as to the outcome of the game. But in the second half it almost be- came a different story when the She.- by boys began to get hot and gradual- ly crept up to within two points of Clarks. The game ended with Clarks still retaining a two point lead with the final score at 24-2'2. We go to St. Edwards next Friday to play their six-footers. There is little hope of any chance with them as they held the Genoa Indians to one field goal, but we’ll do our best. QUESTION BOX (Patents and Copyrights) ; 1. Who received the first patent in this country? 2. Havd women contributed much to invention in the United States? 3. When a foreigner applies for a United States patent, can he use his own language? 4. Who invented the telephone trans mitter now used? 5. How long does a copyright last? (Answers on last page) The Knighthood of Youth program has no use of punishment of children but rather commendation for that which merits praise, followed by kind- ly suggestions where improvement may be made. Dr. Thorndike made the statement, “That punishment fails nine times out of ten, while praise succeeds nine times out of ten.” The child receives recognition for his efforts at home by obtaining a stone for his castle, for work well done and for real progress in the for- mation of habits.

Do you have an ideal? Perhaps it may be some one you know personal ly, one you have read about, or a character in a book or play. And then again it may be the characteris- tics of several people put together to paint pefection for you. Do you use this ever changing standard to judge others, or in the rating of your own self? Do you stop and ask yourself, “would my ideal do this thing, or would he have done it that way?”—and by following where your model would go—you come nearer to being like him. You and I who each earnestly de- sire to realize our ambition and be a second copy of our ideal, must also re- member that the other fellow has his ambitions and we must not ruin all his chances in gaining our own for- tune. —Ye Editor FOUND Owners call at Mr. Vedder’s office: Black silk belt with rhinestone buckle, Green Naussau fountain pen, Black Harris fountain pens, Red and Black | eversharp pencil, Black and Gold | mottled eversharp pencil, Gold and Blue bar pin, Red bead necklace, Eagle eversharp pencil and Child’s tilver bracelet.

THE SPEECH MAKERS Jim Jimpson stutters when he talks; his tongue or else his larnyx balks; it takes a long and painful while for him to cross a verbal stile; his face goes j through contortions weird; and froth is blown all o’er his beard. And yet Jim Jimpson doesn’t mind; he seems ! to think that he will find spell-binding wreaths within his reach—he’s al- ways glad to make a speech. Hob Hoskin’s education’s bad; he side- stepped school when but a lad, and now he keeps the language bent; he says, “I seen,” and “I have went.” When he orates, poor Grammar groans, and has an ache in all its bones, and cultural people rend their hair, and beat their breasts and weep and swear. Yet Hoskin thinks he is a peach at reefing off a witty speech. It seems as though all misfit gents, who cannot talk for thirteen cents, who torture people when they spiel, and make of language an ordeal, are sure they wtar, w:th graceful ease, the mantle of Demo thenes.—Walt Mason. t-t-t-t-t CORRECT USAGE VS. SLANG What slang is, is a problem. Some of it undoubted y is vu:gar. Some is merely informa, and unexpected in one way or other. Yet it is general- ly discouraged. If the unexpected- ness of it did not disappear, if the originality and vividness did not be- come dull and monotonous imitation, slang would not be distasteful to those who condemn it. What has be- come of “skiddoo”, “twenty-three” and “fop”? The life of s.ang at most is very short. Another objection is still more serious. Since most slang words and expressions are used very loose- ly to cover a wide variety of mean- ings, the constant use of slang is sure to stunt the vocabulary. Your mind will not, on demand, furnish you with clear, accurate, straight- forward, dignified English if you ac- custom it to producing vague, ill-fitt- ing, slip-shod and usually vulgar slang. However there are those who be- lieve slang keeps our language living, growing and vital. Certainly no one would deny that it does add vivid- ness and color when aptly and clever- ly chosen. Perhaps we can be safe if we remember never to overwork it. We wonder if this joke will be un- derstood thirty-five years from now or even fifteen? (Continued on Page 4) WORD HISTORY The English language is especially rich and varied largely because of the contributions received from other tongues. Net only the nations with thousands of years of civilization be- hind them, but even semi-civilized and the uncivilized have made additions to our store of words. Etymology is an interesting science and deserves far more attention than we had time to give it. Here are a few examples: Squirrel—is a derivation from two Greek words mean.ng “shadow” and “tail”. Perhaps squirre. was chosen for the name of that bushy tailed little animal because its tail does over- shadow its body. I Scream-—comes from the old Norse word “skraema” to scare away. We use it in the sense of a loud cry. When anybody utters a scream, cer- tainly they do scare people away. Fellow—is derived from the Anglo Saxon word, “feologa” meaning to lay down a partnership fee. When it came to the English language they took it to mean a companion. i Journal—has come from a Latin word meaning “day”. It now means a book kept day after day. Nicotine—so-called after Jean Nicot, who first introduced tobacco into France in 1560 A. D. Now it is the active principle or poison in tobacco, really not much of a tribute to anyone nor is the following. Boycott—which comes from Capt. Boycott, a land agent in Mayo, Ire- land, who was, in 1880, shunned by the rest of the townspeople, perhaps because of his harsh treatment in collecting rents. Smock—In Anglo Saxon it meant- “to creep into.” It has come to mean a loose dress slipped on over another dress. Silly—you wouldn’t have thought it, but silly is derived from an f old Teutonic word meaning “blessed”. —Kathryn Lavelle and Ethel Burger. t-t-t-t-t QUESTION BOX 1.

Elizabeth Graves “Does he have a good education?” “Is he a man of culture and train- ing?” Suppose those questions were put to you regarding a man you had just met and talked with for the first time. Your answer will probably be based on the language he used. If he ex- pressed himself clearly, briefly, and interestingly, you set him down as an educated person. You may not have been conscious of the part played by his speech in the formation of your judgement. There is little doubt that one’s manner of speech is the feature of personality that is first ob- served. The way one speaks has more than anything else to do with the impressions that are made. First impressions are made, some- times, unfairly. Not infrequently a fine mind and an attractive per- sonality lie hidden behind the ugly display window of crude speech. But while shoddy language is not always a representative sign of an untrained and slovenly mind, clear, forceful, and attractive speech is a safer indi- cation that one will attain the goals for which he is striving. Effective speaking, the careful and distinct choice of words, require a firm effort and the exercising of the will power. It is so easy to fall into lazy habits and to use words as substi- tutes rather than as symbols of thought, that all but a few exception- al people fall into the habit. If an illustration of every day habit of slovenly language is needed, one may observe how rarely one hears a condensed and meaningfull expression of the feeling of approval. How common it is for someone to say he is “crazy” about the object of admira- tion. One meets a new friend and says, “I’m crazy about him.” The same expression covers the sense of appreciation of a beef steak, a sun set, a dress, a book, a drive, or a movie. As a cure we suggest that in case you approve of a person or th.ng heartily, keep your admiration to yoursea until you can tnink of some- thing more distinctive and more origi- nal to say tnan that you are “crazy about the ooject of your approval or that it is “nify , ‘ Keen,” tne “cat’s whiskers,” or tne “ocir.es. Such expressions indicate a real poverty of language in need of pity, xhey are certain evidences that tne speaker is unable to translate to others what he feels or thinks. They r.re proofs that he is unfit to meet one of the vital requ.rements of civilized life.

EDWARD The St. Ed boys ran rough-shod over the Ciarks Gagers last Friday. They went into the lead from the be- ginning and piled up one score after another to the final count of 55-22. There is little to brag about in such a score except that we scored more against them than any team so far. Glen Buih was acting captain. Ow- ing to diinculty in securing cars, the second team didn’t go. We go to Duncan Tuesday and to Genoa next Friday. Both first and second teams wi.l probably have games.

One bright moonlit evening, we planned to go for a ride. The boys built a Bob sled so we could go. We bor- rowed an old Gray horse from Wil- 1 son to pull us over the hills by aunt Emma’s. Everyone was present but one, and Er-ma wouldn’t let her go. While gliding along over Glenn ; and Dale, w e thought someone would fall off, but they didn’t. Henri-ett-a handful of snow, which made her much too cold, but we soon drove the Kohl-hof. We didn’t watch where we were going and dropped into an Eddy, and then ran into a Bush. The horse broke its Schank and had to Steger all the rest of the evening. After this catastrophe, we drove down the Le, Roy was the driver. In the back of the sled, some ro- mances were going on. One boy re marked that he Luft his girl so muen that he was going to give her a Ruby and maybe Mary her. As you all know, a party isn’t com- plete without something to eat. We all were hungry so we stopped into a cafe to buy a lunch. We thoroughly enjoyed the lunch while sitting in the Booths. We also bought some cand- ied orange Rines to eat while riding. On the spur of the moment, Jane thought that she would like to ride the horse. She held that position for but a few minutes, because the horse decided to Beck-er off. “She Rode-wald,” drolled the driver. The girls got so cold that they had to Don some blankets. Accidently the horse turned into the Dor-o’-thy roadside graveyard, so we went to see some Graves. We could never have a party with- out some music. Bruce entertained us by singing, “yo-Leo-lad-e-o.” “Did-i-er me?” he questioned. “Yes did you study Moosic in Romm?” re- plied Ksiazek. By this time we had reached level and, but we began to Miss certain ones of our group. “Les-lie-ve ’em,” called out someone. Nothing could be done, but to turn back and find them. Elizabeth, Helen, and Mar- garet were standing at the top of the last hill. “We fell off so we could pick a “Daisy” which was growing In a snow-drift. When we returned to the starting point, Wil-son was there to collect a Fee-han we had to give up the horse We said our good-byes and now I wish that all of you will take another glorious ride with us, again sometime. —Dale Jordan Clarks, Nebraska, February 3, 1932 THE SKRA LC Published Weekly By the Clarks High School Application for entry as second class matter is pending Subscription Price Per Year Students 25c Adults 50c Out of Town 75c THE STAFF Editor ________ Henrietta Wilson Associate Editor _____Dale Jordan We Wonder ______ Edward Booth and Leo Ksiazek Cartoons _____________Erma Becker and Robert Rines Question Box ______Bruce Rodewald NEWS EDITORS Seniors ___________ Ruby Kohlhof Juniors _____________ Mary Didier Sophomores___________Emma Land Freshmen___________Leslie Kohlhof Grade Notes________ Dorothy Luft Miss Nancy.......—...Jane Gray Jokes ______ Margaret Steger, LeRoy Land and Glenn Bush Station J.

Where? you as. At last we hold the exalted positions of Juniors. You probably can’t see where that is anything to be puffed up about, but of course we couldn’t expect the lower classmen to, because they haven’t experienced the feeling yet. When we were Freshmen we were quite green and very cocksure. Thats the feeling every Freshmen has, no exceptions. About the first twelve weeks we were very much tramped on by the egotistical upper class men. That didn’t last long though and by the end of the term we were able to hold our own. We were just begin- ning to make pretty good Freshmen when we woke up one morning and found ourselves Sophomores. Being a Sophomore was something entirely different. We were kind of scared for a while, but it wasn’t for long because about the second day we heard some creaky shoes and smothered giggles issue from the home rooms and we knew that it was the Freshmen. Right there was where we lost our fright and began thinking of ways to make life miser- able for the poor greenies. Of course some of the more timid souls didn’t want to be “too hard on them.” Thats the fun of being Sophomores. But like us the Freshmen got on to us sometime before the last day of school and so we didn’t have much fun the last part of the year. We were all glad when the last day of school come because then we would be Juniors, and you know what that means. So Juniors we are and its the great- est little class yet and if it weren’t just for the looks of things we’d just as soon remain Juniors for the last two years of school. There I didn’t tell you about our recovery from be- ing Sophomores did I? The first part of the year we were still kind of Sophomorish but being such an ex- ceptional class we soon entirely lost the air of a Sophomore and became full-fledged Juniors, and let me tell you, Freshmen and Sophomores, this is something to work for. Why, when you become Juniors you have seen all kinds of things, you know most everything and last, but not I least you’ve suffered most every kind of bawling out and embarrasment there is until you are invulnerable, j and able to enjoy life. | _ _ _ £ __ __ __ __ JUNIOR CLASS PLAY j 1 1- j Cat o’ Nine Tails has been se’ected as the Junior Cass Play. It is a j mystery p'ay in three-acts by Law- rence G. Worcester, j It is an ideal play for amateurs. Cold blooded murder, a human skele- ton, blood curdling shrieks, unearthly j noises, a half witted servant, an under ground tunnel, a vicious dog, a beau- , tiful girl and plentv of comedy are a few of the things that make this a | successful play. ____ _ _ f __ £ | WE WONDER— i ■■ T 1- If Bruce Cowgill hates girls as bad- I ly as he says he does.

Strasburg the Clarks flash, was by far the outstanding player of the game. He made 18 of the 22 points for Clarks, capturing high scoring honors by a wide margin. He was also game captain. . . . - .

SAINT VALENTINE’S DAY The 14th of February is the an- 1 niversary of the death of two cele- j brated saints of the third century. | The day has long been observed as a i lovers festival, but this fact has no ; connection with the saint’s festivals which also take place sometime in the spring. It has been said that our term “valentine” has been confused with the old Norman word “galantin” which means a lover. As this word was often pronounced “valentln” it could easily have become confused with the Saints’ name and thus have given rise to the custom of sentiment being associated with his anniversary. The commonly accepted explana- tion says that the custom of inter- changing valentines originated with ! one of the St. Valentines who used to go from house to house leaving food on the doorsteps of the poor, and later when his health failed, he sent them i pretty messages and tokens. , Chaucer and Shakespeare refer to St. Valentines Day as the time of year when birds select their mates. It was customary for English young men and women to choose the one that would be their valentine for the year by lottery on this day. The couples would exchange gifts. The observance of the day has fallen into disuse in Great Britain, but the sending of sentimental valentines and gifts of flowers and candy on February 14th is still com- mon in America. . . . . .

WASHINGTON BICENTENNIAL CELEBRATION _ _ _ Congress has created a national commission to have charge of the celebration of the two-hundredth an- niversary of the birth of George Washington. It has been planned to make this celebration the greatest in history with all the schools, churches and other organizations tak- ing part in it. It will begin Febr- uary 22, 1932 and last until the fol- lowing Thanksgiving. To have charge of the part of Clarks schools in this commemoration committees have been chosen from both the grades and high school. They have arranged a program for the initial day and will provide other suitable exercises regularly. Sponsor ___________ Elizabeth Graves DESCRIPTION “He was about 6 feet, 4 inches high, the length of his legs being out of all proportion to that of his body. When he sat down on a chair he seemed no taller than the average man, measuring from the chair to the crown of his head; but his knees rose high in front. He weighed about 180 pounds, but was thin through the breast, narrow across the shoulders, and had the general appearance of a consumptive subject. Standing up he stooped slightly forward; sitting down, he usually crossed his long legs or threw them over the arms of the chair as the most convenient mode of disposing of them. His counten- ance was haggard and careworn, ex- hibiting all the marks of protracted suffering. Every feature of the man—the hollow eyes, with the dark rings beneath; the long, sallow, ca- daverous face, intersected by those peculiar lines; his whole air; his walk; his long, silent reveries, broken only at intervals by sudden and startling exclamations, as if to confound an ob- The High School committee con- j sists of Charles Goider, chairman, : Evelyn Fosbury, Geraldine Shonsey, I Barbara Jandrall, Elizabeth Feehan, ; Myrtle Anderson and Donald Stumpff I Evelyn and G .raldine have the choice of plays and music, Elizabeth and Barbara of pageants and Myrtle and Donald will supervise publications. They will have charge of a weekly Column in the Skralc that will contain incidents from Washington’s life and sayings of Washington. The members of these groups have received material from the National Commission and plan to do every thing they can do to make this the greatest celebration ever. . . . . _ WE WONDER — What the majority of people thought of Abe Lincoln in his day. If there is any students in this High School who will be as great as Lin- coln. If any of the boys are going to buy valentines for their lady friends. If the Juniors froze their ears the other night at their sleighing party. If Bob Rines alibi on how he got the plaster is true. Dr. Shaw Li DENTIST Clarks, Nebraska Phones Residence 40 Ql!

His hard set jaw and firm mouth is relieved by a genial smile as he greets a friend. Iiis neat appearance shows that he is proud of his clothes, and he appears as one of the best dressed men of his time, to the wearing of a powdered wig. His hands are fine’y gloved, although his hands are so large that the gloves had to be made to order, as we see by the tag. We overhear him talking to his fr'end and learn that he does not be’ieve in tobacco, and is a moder- ate drinker of wane. A recent dance is mentinoed between them and our character of interest becomes the object of a bit of jollity about him dancing every dance, and being reluctant to break up even at a late hour. After a hearty laugh he in- vites his friend to go fox hunting with him on his estate. Some ladies stroll up, and stopped a moment to talk. Our gentleman soon becomes courteously quiet, while they joke him about his latest love affair with the widow. As the party breaks up he strides away, stopping only to smile at some chil- dren who call “hello” to him. We watch him out of sight and when we turn around we are sur- prised to set his friend looking at us queerly. We begin to stammer. He says slowly, “That, sir, was George Wash- ington.” —From material collected by Bruce Cowgill CLARKS VS. SHELBY The Clarks five added another victory to their, as yet, rather short list of wins. The Shelby team whom they played last Friday start- ed the scoring by making a field goal, but after that never threaten- ed. The game ended with the score | standing at 28-5 in Clarks favor. Bush was game captain. As usual ! Strasburg was high scorer. The men playing on the Clarks team were Bush, Strasburg, Land, Schank, Mc- Connel and Madison. The second team were defeated by the score of 7-4. Those playing in the second team game were Sher- wood, McConnel, Roland Gibson and Royal Gibson, Rines, Fosbury and Douglas. On account of an infected knee Eddie Booth will be unable to play any more basketball this season. —C. H. S.— W E WONDER — If anyone could guess the number of basketball games Clarks has won. If the Journalism class will get their scrap book finished this year. Why Louis Tomasiewicz did not come to school Monday morning. If Bruce Cowgill’s desk needs cleaning out. Why Miss Grave assigns such long lessons in Journalism.

Not only in his own land but also in Europe is he renowned. His works have been translated into ten languages and his poems into many more. Every working day of the ydar his poems are being publish- ed. He is the poet of American history, of childhood, of the home, of love and grief, and of all the simple, universal feelings of the human heart. The simple emotions in his writings have led more people into a love of poetry than any other poets! It is little wonder that Lincoln, with tears in his eyes, aid of him, “It is a won- derful gift to be able to stir men like that.” Behind Longfellow’s work lies a long and stainless life, the better side. Turbulent or unhappy souls were beyond his knowledge. His face reflected to a rare degree the nobility of his mind and heart. It is said he awiays had time to aid anyone in need of assistance. All of his gifts of poems and other works came from the wonderful intellect and in- sight which he had. We are truly thankful for this. Henry Wadsworth Longfellow was born at Portland, Maine, on February 27, 1807. His father Stephen Long- fellow, was a Harvard graduate, a prosperous lawyer, and at one time a member of Congress. His mother, Zilftah Wadsworth, was a lover of nature, music, and poetry. Long- fellow entered Bowdoin College at Brunswick, Maine, graduated in 1825, and was offered a professorship at SAYINGS OF WASHINGTON Of our flag he says:— “We take the Stars from the Heavens, the red from the Mother country, separating it by white stripes, thus showing we have separa- ted from her, and the stripes shall go down to posterity representing liberty.” “I conceive that a knowledge of books is the basis on which all other knowledge rests. “To promote literature in this ris- ing Empire and to encourage the arts has ever been amongst the cherished wishes of my heart.” “Newspaper accounts of air-bal- loons, to which I do not know what credence to give a-' the tales related them are marvelous, and lead us to expect, that our fiends at Paris in a little time will co. .e flying through the air, instead of ploughing the ocean to get to America.” —SOPH— Familiar Sayings and Alibi What’s todays Assignment? I didn’t have time. Some one took my book and I couldn’t study. I lost my paper. I wasn’t here yesterday. Couldn’t understand it. Assignment was too long. —SOPH— Would Like To Rent:—For the rest of the year, the excess brains of the seniors. We need them—Juniors. Bowdoin. He married Mary Potter in 1831 but she died while they were in Europe. He bought Craigie House and here brought his second wife, Frances Appleton in 1843. ; Longfellow was the father of three | daughters. Finally came illness, pain, and feebleness, and on March, 24, 1882 he died. Mount Auburn Cemetery was his final resting place, which we are sure is a peaceful one. R. R. Doui M. D.

The first team came out on the short end of a 34 to 9 count-. Eoff, the lanky center from Central City, collected 12 points to be high point man for the evening. Central kept Strasburg under cover; consequently he did not do his usual scoring. Bush tallied five points to be high point man for Clarks. Those seeing service for the first team were Bush, Scliank, Strasburg, Land, Madison, Gibson, McConnell and Sherwood. The local second team won a very close and exciting game 18 to 17. Clarks started the scoring with a fi-ee shot. Centrial promptly followed with a field goal. Neither team was far in the lead during the game. With the score tied at 17 all in the last 30 seconds. McConrel, flashy Clarks guard, s,ank a free shot putting Clarks in the lead 18-17. The ball swi hed through the net as the final whistle blew. Gibson, with 9 points, was high scorer for Clarks. Roland and Royal Gibson, Sherwood, Fosbury, McConnell, Kohlhof and Stumpff saw service on the second team. Clarks plays Alda in the first round of the state tournament Thursday, 6 P. M.

In marking the papers, pro- fessors will discount ten points from each paper on the possibility that the student has cheated.—Ex. way through classes for another six weeks. —Leon Madison SIGNS OF EXAMINATIONS They say you are always warned of what is about to take place. Well so it is with school examinations and the end of the six weeks. If you have not noticed this, I will give you a few tips. 1. Every student leaving the high school in the evening has from one to five text books and not less than three notebooks. 2. The faces seem to lengthen into frowns rather than broadening into smiles. 3. The attendance at the picture show seems to decrease. 4. The parties are suspended for a wreek. 5. During class time the ears seem to reach out to catch the facts. 6. Pupils come to class with their lessons better prepared. 7. Pupils are found pouring over books during noon hour. 8. More book tests are taken. 9. Pupils seem to like their teachers better. 10. The supply of examination paper on the teachers desk is reple- j nished. —C. H. S.— HOW TO CRAM FOR A FINAL Go to the last lecture to find out what the course was about. A good prof always reviews the course on the last day. (If he isn’t a good prof, the exam won’t be so tough j anyway.) Look around for some lonesome girl in the class and ask her to a dance. Borrow her notes that same night. Read them through and then ask her what they mean. Lis- ten carefully to what she has to say, ' but contradict her from time to time just to make her think you have a n ind of your own. Then if you still ! feel afraid of the exam, poison the yrof’s wife, and he’ll give you an “A” out of sheer gratitude. (To some scholars will come the thought of poisoning the prof. This practice I has been detrop since 1898 when a I class in embryology at Amherst poisoned the prof and the assistant j gave the exam instead. And you I know how assistants are.)—Ex.

HIGH SCHOOL SPONGES Webster says sponges come from the sea. That may be true in part but not all sponges come from the sea. There are too many that have never seen the ocean. There are sponges and sponges. Despite the great number of varieties sponges are all alike in principle. To get the most for the least is their motto, and they keep it well. Do you know a sponge? It is cer- tain that you do. At school there is the person who always wants you to prepare his lessons for him. He is forever asking for your algebra paper, or your English exercise. When you see the sponge coming down the hall, you run the other way. But he is a good sprinter; he catches you two minutes later just as you have begun to congratulate yourself on your escape. He approaches with a serene air and “smiling mor- ning face.” He knows he is “a nuisance”—this plaintively as if to say you know he cannot help it—but “could you just this once?” Without waiting for him to finish, you frantically thrust upon him all your papers and mumble an excuse over your shoulder as you hurry away. The fellow is positively uncanny. | You have left off hating him out of fear—pure fear. He has a way of finding you every time he needs you. Before each approach you determine not to give in, but you always weaken. Washington organized the new government with characteristic thoughtfulness. Washington at once undertook to inform himself of the details of his new ta.k. He per- sonally supervised the organization of the different departments of the government. It is interesting that his Cabinet which consisted of Thomas Jefferson, Alexander Hamil- . ton, Henry Knox and Edmund Randolph, was not appointed until j September, more than four months after Washington took office. The three great events of Wash- ington’s first term were the adoption in 1789 of the first import tariff, following Hamilton’s famous Report on Maunfacture;; second the establish ment of the Bank of the United States; and third, the Assumption of the State Debts and the founding of the national debt. —Donald Stumpff —C. H. S.— THE WHOLE CLASS FAILED It has being whispered around that the teachers have bean burning midnight oil preparing tests that will challenge the best pupils leaving the poorer ones dear out of the race. At the same time the pupils were also burning midnight oil reviewing things that they think should be ask- ed, but the most discouraging part about it is that they never use the same judgment in choosing the mater ial to review that the teachers use in getting the mat erial for questions and hense never rev.ew wffiat is to be asked. The most breath-taking feeling is experienced after long wearisome hours have been spent mastering cer- (Continued on last page) But to go back to Webster’s sponge--a sponge never achieves any- thing in life. Once a sponge, al- ways a sponge; it makes no difference in what condition or state of life the i creature exists. —Ex i R. R. Douf M. D.

H. S.— C. H. S. CREST We find that many people do not know the meaning of our High School crest, that is used as our ring- design and on our class pen- nants. To these we wish to explain the design and origin of our crest. Four years ago in 1928-29 the stu- dent body decided on a school crest for rings, emblems, etc. A com- mittee gathered old stories of the surrouding country of Clarks. The best, which is the story connected with our crest, was passed on by the student council; they formed the | crest from the material in the story. Years ago the Spaniard, Coronado, was searching for the fabled City of Gold which the Indians had told him about. He and his followers start- ed from the South going North in search of it. It is reported that he came to a river that entered the land from the north and flowed out at the north. The only river in the part of the country with such a bend is the Platte. For further proof, some Spanish trinkets were found in the Indian graves across the river from Clarks. The party did not cross the Platte and supposedly—a Spaniard stood on the bank of a bend in the river with arm extended toward the North, and in his imagination he saw in the valley a small village with the sun rising beautifully in the east. Our crest was made from the idea cf the Spaniard, and the city he seem ed to see is today our town of Clarks. The design of the shank of the ring was made by a member of the committee, Betty Brown. It i3 drawn so that the crest seems to rest upon the feathers of the Indian’s headgear. Another design was drawn picturing cn one part the pro- file of an Indian’s head with head- gear of feathers. Behind the head a tepee is drawn, and below the two ix the head of an arrow carved of rock. As yet, the latter design has not been uced on the rings.—Odessa 'Thompson —C. H.

MUSICAL This year in place of one operetta we are giving two short plays, the first, “Alice In Ireland” the second, i “Out of the Air.” Between and be- ] fore pieces the grade chorus will sing and the orchestra will play. T’r o first nlay is avo” a litt'e girl ! who had a dream. In this dream she I goe3 to Ireland and meet., i.ie Mad Hatter and March Hare and while they are having Lads and Lassies come to sing and dance for them. Our second play, “Out in the Air,” is about a radio fan who has a television eqipped radio. He sees and hears choiristers, a sailor, Gypsys a Dutch girl, a Highland lass, Japanese girls, Three Black Crows, a Spanish girl and Four Southern Belles also the Angelus portrayed. THE ADVENTURE OF A REPORT CARD I was very proud the first time my owner saw me, for I was white and clean and bearing good grades, but I was disappointed to find that my owner didn’t care and I was thrown to the ground while he played ball. After this my life was mostly miser- able because the very next time, along with my rheumatism which was contracted from lying on damp grass I received the disease called F. This is a most painful disease, its even dis- colored for it is red. Oh, how it did hurt and if only Tommy had put a little carefulness on it, it would liave been cured. But just listen, that wasn’t the worst the next time I was covered with red F’s and then Tom- my lost me and to this day I believe on purpose but he didn’t get far for another little girl found me and took me to his home. Maybe you don’t believe it but things began to happen and I may safely add that upon my wounds the medicine of carefulness, perservance, hard study and concentration were put and now, though I lie forgotten in the table drawer I believe my work is done for I don’t think any more of Tommy’s report cards suffer from the disease Red F.

There are many stories about him like the story of the cherry tree. He was a truthful lad. Shortly aftr the family moved to the banks of the Rappahannock, George was placed under the charge of the parish sexton. A man named Hobby taught him the alphabet. After his father died he went back to Bridges Creek with his half brother, Augus- tine, where he received a fair com- mon school education.

Without it we could not go through high school and college. Even if you could go no further than the eighth grade you are much abler to get a good position than you would be without a grade education. Children learn to associate with other children. They learn to be unselfish, to play the games the others do and to look after those smaller and weaker than themselves. Grade Education stimulates inter- est in other subjects. You take Nature study and then you are eager for Botany. This is true in many subjects. Many defects which you would not otherwise notice are discovered while the children are at sclioool. They are examined at the beginning of every school year and in some city schools monthly. f ■ This grade edu- cation is the foundation for other education and work. It teaches some of the problems of social life, stimulates interest in other subjects and protects the childrens’ health. —Phyllis Douglas —C. H.

WITH ESTEEM We, the student body wish to take this opportunity to express our appreciation for the efforts made by this year’s basket ball team. Although they lost eight of the fourteen games played, we ad- mire their fighting spirit. We must remember that it isn’t always the victor who receives the most profit from the game. The individual who, though losing, can still cheer the winner has won a far greater victory than any to be won on an athletic field, as is brought out in this poem, “Sportsmen’s Prayer.” Dear Lord, in the battle that goes through life, I ask but a field that is fair, A chance that is equal with all in the strife, A courage to strive and to dare; And if I should win, let it be by the code, With my faith and my honor held high; And if I should lose, let me stand by the road And cheer as the winner goes by. The staff is dedicating this pa- per to the Basket Ball Boys. SENIOR PLAY The Senior Play cast are working hard at their play, “Skeet.” They have been practicing nearly every fevening and after school. They hope to have “Skeet” ready for pre- sentation in a short time. If you have any ambitions to be a detective, don’t miss this mystery- comedy. The mystery will keep you guessing to the final scene and you will never be able to guess the cul- prit, perhaps because of laughing. Clarks drew Osceola the first round and defeated them 11 to 2. The next round Clarks was defeated by St. Ed- ward. Clarks then played Fullerton but suffered defeat, the score being 14 to 16. GRADE MUSICALE Thursday evening, March 10th a group of the pupils of the upper grades presented a musical to a very appreciative audience. The program was in the form ot two one-act plays. The first, “Alice in Ireland”, taken from “Alice in Wonderland. The second let us in on a television program in which we went to Holland, Spain, France, Scot- land and Japan,—we also saw some gypsies and Black Crows. These , latter, Virgil Bain, Donald Mustard, and Royal Gibson, created quite a sensation and were the hit of the eve- nings entertainment. Songs by the chorus and readings by Dolan Pollard and Joan Jandrall were given between the plays. The program was under the direct- ion of Miss Dorothy Peterson, Anna Hannappel accompanying on the piano. —C. H. S.— WE WONDER If Louis Tomasiewicz is in the habit of giving beatings away.

LEAP YEAR Many people wonder when and how the idea of women proposing marriage during Leap Year originated The story is that many, many years ago the umarried women in a con- vent were discouraged and wished that the women could do the propos- ing. One woman named Bridget went to Saint Patrick and asked him what they should do. He said to arrange it so that every seven years the women could pop the question. This idea sounded alright and worked fine, except that the seven years did not pass quickly enough to suit the un- married maidens. So finally it was changed to every four years. If the man refused the proposal then he was compelled to buy the lady a silk dress. Who would have thought that the idea of the women proposing during leap year originated with St. Patrick? —Mary Didier —C. H. S.— THE SHAMROCK One thousand five hundred years ago when St. Patrick was preaching the gospel to the natives of Ireland he told them that there were three Gods and yet only one. “How can that be,” said the natives. For an answer the Saint bent over and pluck- ed a shamrock growing at his feet and then said, “Do you not see,” how | in this wild flower three leaves are united on one stalk, and will you 1 not then believe what I tell you that WASHINGTON That the laboi’s of the Constitu- tional Convention would have been brought to a successful conclusion without the assistance of George Washington is doubtful. After the Constitution was drafted he labored constantly, chiefly by letters to his friends, to arouse public opinion in his favor. Certainly without his support the constitution would have been defeated in Virginia the new plan would almost surely have failed. Then when the great experiment was about to begin it was fitting that he should again take the chief command. With out any seeking on his part the Presidency was placed on his shoul- ders by the unamious vote of the Electoral College. No other man was considered for the part of Chief | Executive.—Donald Stumpff —C. H. S.— JUNIOR JUMPERS NOTICE:—We hereby notify the , Seniors to hurry up with their play so we can give ours.

The true shamrock is the hop clover, which re- sembles our common white clover, ex- cept that the flower is yellow.

He was born in Eng- land the exact place and time of his birth, not being known. When sixteen St. Patrick was cap- tured by pirates who took him to Ire- land where he was sold as a slave. He labored there for six long years after which he escaped to France j where he found refuge in a mona- { stery. One night he received a vision call- ing him to do missionary work in Ire- I land. He obeyed the call, and after years of preparation, went to Ireland. ! It has been said that there were no Christians in Ireland when St. Patrick began his work and no pagans when he died. Of course this is not literally true, but he did much to establsh Christianity there. Tradition has embroidered his story with many legends. It is said that he drove the snakes out of Ire- land, brought darkness upon his enemies, overcame Druid sorceries miracles, and that after his death there was no night for twelve days and his body diffused sweet odors. The Irish the world over honor him by wearing the shamrock, his symbol of the trinity. taining the class with poetry selec- tions the past few days.

WHERE EASTER GOT IT’S NAME The name Easter is derived from that of the ancient Anglo-Saxon god- dess of spring, Eastre, in whose honor a festival of spring was held. The name was first applied to the Sunday of Resurrection by an early scholar of the Engiish church, Bede. Several of the customs observed at the pre- sent day come from this old time festival. WHO MADE DATE FOR EASTER? The early Chrstians did not believe in celebrating any special times or festivals. They thought that living blameless lives was better than keep- ing holidays, and so set no special day for Easter. And as the New Testament gives no definite informa- HOME ROOM I Gives Washington Program Home Room I gave a playlet Fri- day afternoon consisting of two acts. The first scene was in an old fashion- ed school house on George Washing- ton’s 10th birthday. The characters appeared in costume. Charles Beck took the part of the school master and Cecil Larson, that of George Wash- ington with his class mates repre- sented by boys and girls from room one. The class sang a birthday song for George, and also several other songs that were popular at that time. Alice Rodewald spoke a piece, Alice Becker and Lucile Krong sang a duet and last of all was a minuet, danced by Cecil and Amanda Larson. The rising of the curtain of the second act revealed a modern school room with Odessa Thompson as teach- er. It was now 190 years later, and the school was celebrating George’s 200th birthday. Patriotic songs were sung and then the group lis- tened to a radio program (coming from behind the curtain) Sousa’s band played, President Hoover made an address, and the children jointd in singing the national anthem before the final curtain. -—Erma Becker —C.

THE EASTER PARADE The shops are busy, the shoppers are doing their worst. What’s the rumpus? Why, it’s time for the new Easter bonnets. Every man, woman, boy, and girls is hunting, and bargaining, and buy- ing that desirable something new to wear on Easter. This man may want to make a fine appearance in church; this one, perhaps, must have some new clothes because his lady friend will appear in a new out- fit; that man is following custom, it’s the smart thing to do; and that man who needed a a suit feels that Easter is the logical time to initiate it. And why, you ask, do they want new clothes? Oh, just because they must do it to keep their social position— and then, too, their dads and mothers, their grandpaps and grandmas, and their great grandpaws and great grandmaws have done the same thing before them and perhaps will do it again this year. We may not have ancestor worship in the good old U. S. A., and might not admit that we’d copy from our grand parents—but here’s where we follow their lead for good? or evil? who can say? You may think it foolish for a lady to spend $5 or $10 on a new hat, but then think of what she is buying with it. She not only gets a becoming hat, but self assurance, certainty, and that little peacock air that makes her so charming. She feels equal to any queen when she wears it—she is all graciousness, all happiness, all smiles. With her bonnet she has bought the secret of Spring. Isn’t it worth it? WASHINGTON As a growing, Washington was a remarkable scholar. He was reser- ved and sedate in his manner, and was of a more serious turn of mind than is usual among boys. Such educa- tion as Washington received was com- pleted by the time he was sixteen years of age. His last two years of schooling were devoted mainly to the study of engineering, geometry, surveying and trigonometry. These professions promised advantages, in view of the wild state of the country and the increasing demand for ac- curate surveyors. —Myrtle Anderson —C. H.

A good deal of interest and rivalry .1 as been worked up, especially among the boys taking part. ; In part years track at Clarks has not amounted to much. This year, however, a much more extensive sea- son has been planned. The team will participate in several invita- tion meets, and it is hoped that dual and triangular meets can be schedul- ed with nearby towns, such as Silver Creek. We will also go to the con- ference meet, and perhaps, to the State Track Meet at Lincoln. A long need quarter of a mile track is going to be built around the foot- ba l field at Littles. This improve- ment will greatly boost track pros- pects. Probably the largest and most will- ing team Clarks has ever had is re- j gularly reporting to Coach Odum for j practice. More than half of the LEGENDS AND CUSTOMS The rabbit, supposedly living on the moon and helping in the waking of Spring, was a God worship- ed by ancient people. When the Christian Missionaries told them of Jesus and our Easter they kept it as a day of celebration and not being able to forget the rabbit it has come to be a symbol of Baster. The egg, in mythology, is the sym- bol of resurrection or new life. The Easter egg is now one of the popular features of Easter. The eggs are usually stained various colors. Some people make presents of them. Some- times they are kept as ornaments, sometimes eaten, and sometimes games are played by striking them against one another. —from material collected by the Journalism Class. —C. H. S.— Everybody jumped when the fire bell rang Monday afternoon. Miss Moorman and Mrs. Vedder led the girls out and Mr. Walker and Mr. Odum led the boys. Mr. Vedder and Miss Graves, as far as we know, jumped out the wdndow. We found out later it was a false alarm and only a fire drill. boys in school have signed to come out at least three times a week for some sport or check in their suits un- less a very good excuse can be given. Rules for the impending Inter- home Room Meet have been posted on the bulletin board for some time.

Coloring them red typified the blood of redemption; other colors have no special significance. 4. The Christians of the East thought the 14th of April was Easter I because that was the day of the Jew- I ish Passover. In A.

The villian became so interested in a young man on the front row that she forgot to make her confession. Jack Gordon, the hero, immediately came to the rescue and made the confes- sion; but lo and behold: To Ye; who can think—“Who was going to be the hero now? Minerva, the flirt, this time comes to the rescue with the highest of hopes, only to find herself talking to a character, not yet pre- sent on the stage. Esther Dalman took up the conversation of the miss- ing gentleman. What a muddle! But don’t think for a moment folks, we weren’t fool- ing the audience; for they were really surprised to find that the villian was innocent, that the hero was guilty, and that Esther Dalman was a man. Folks this play is a “whow,” and will be given again this evening with more mistakes than those already re- ferred to. So you had better come back and see it again! —C. H. S.— HEY! HEY!

He is in quite poor condition, but it is believed by Dr. Sherwood that he will soon re- cover. Charles Golder was seriously injur- ed yesterday while playing “Indian.” The nail-pointed arrow shot by V. B. entei-ed and went through the lower part of his ear. The unfortunate child set up a howl, dropped his own , bow and arrow and ran home. Doctor Beck immediately followed him home ad bandaged his ear. He thinks Charles will be all right in a couple of days. MUSIC CONTEST Several students of Clarks High are going to enter the District High School Music Contest held at Albion, March 8 and 9. They are:— Evelyn Fosbury—Soprano Kathryn Lavelle—Violin Margaret Bittinger—Saxophone Philip Douglas—Baritone horn Ruth Carson—Bass horn Evelyn Bivens—Drums Evelyn Fosbury, the only entry in the vocal division has high hopes this year as she was fortunate enough to win second in the state contest last year. None of the en- tries of the instrumental division have ever played in contest before, but as all of them have played solos in pub- lic they feel quite confident as to suc- cess. They have all been practicing di.igently the past two months. Ruth Carson deserves special note here as she is planning to play, “Car- nival of Venice”, with variations. We wish the contestants luck and will look forward to their appearance before the assembly. —C. H.

A sign hanging out from a large brick hotel read, “Roach Hotel”— Jim Roach, Jr. Just having eaten breakfast he decided not to stop, he soon spied the Larson and Krong Bakery. Wanting a few rolls to chew on, he entered the bakery. There was Ruth Hahn, a young bride-to-be, and Barbara Jandrall, who had been married a year, talk- ing with Lucile. Dazed by the news, he entered the doctor’s office for some pills. Phil- lip Douglas sat swallowing cough drops, while joking with his classmate Sylvester Ksiazek. Alice Kohl in her uniform and cap stood near. (Continued on Page 2) HEY! HEY! APRIL 19. Perhaps it v.iil be the instructor whom you hate most that will be assassinated April 19.

FACTS ABOUT FRESHMEN Esther Kiolbosa rides to school with ! Sylvester Ksiazek. She will not sit in front with him. j Ruth Davis used to live in Cali- fornia coming here in 1930. Philip Douglas really likes Geral- dine Shannahan. Orletha Holtz and Alice Rodewald are the youngest Freshmen girls. I Mr. Walker decided to walk up to where he formerly lived. Stop- ping at the Shannahan house for a drink he found that Alice Sutko and Wayne Huff lived there. Fran- cis Martin was boarding there while working for the railroad. His head swam and his knees shook as he walked toward his for- mer home. He knocked on the door. Mary Ann Lamb, a neat little house-wife, greeted him at the door. She invited him in when he met Doris Luft who was visiting there. Mary Ann begged him to stay but he de- clined her offer. Just as he step- ped out of the door, he saw the High | School teachers going home for din- I ner. There were Alice Rodewald 1 2 3 4 1 and Leona Sutko. Later came , Elizabeth Lavelle and Donald ; Stumpff. Eldon Madison, the 1 coach, came running down the street. ] The news gave him a headache. He ■ decided to take a room at the Roach I Hotel for the evening while Ruth Davis was busy serving supper, he held a conversation with Delbert Thompson and Roland Gibson. They were carpenters and were busy on a new barn. After finishing his supper, he de- I cided to buy a couple of magazines, ! Entering the library, he saw Frank Rose and Harold Sehank deep in conversation. They told him they were single, but Esther Kiolbosa ! (Harold’s wife) came up and told on , them. He left for home the next morning stopping at Chambers, Nebraska to see Orletha Holtz. Imagine his sur- prise to see her planting potatoes. The paper bought the startling | news that Earl E. Walker, Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court, had had a relapse. He had a terrible shock but refused to say what it was. R. R. Dom m. n.

The program started at 7:30 with several selections by the orchestra. The Expression Class gave a one- act comedy play, “Mechanical Jane.” The cast:—Priscilla, Ethel Burger, Tabitha, Elizabeth Feehan; Mechan- ical Jane, Doris Morrison. Priscilla and Tabitha were a pair of particular spinisters looking for a good servant girl. Priscilla cou’d find none at the agency that seemed entirely satisfactory, any as Tabitha was so inexperienced and helpless about the housework—that Priscilla in despair bought a mechanical girl servant. The only trouble was that they wound her at 5:30 p. m., when she should have been wound at 6 a. m so she started the morning work. Luckily she run down before the house was torn to peices—and when they found that an old servant would come back—they fired Mechanical ' Jane. The student director of the play was Helen Rose, j The Junior Class gave a skit from their class play, “Cat O’ Nine Tails” successfully working up a desire in the audience to see the play. Edward Booth auctioned off the boxes to the competing bidders. Mrs. Violet Westman’s box sold for the highest price and Erma Becker and Jane Gray had the prettiest box. Mrs. Westman will get her Skralc’s bound free as a prize and as the prettiest box was a double box, Erma and Jane will receive 50c each toward having theirs bound. | Some of the girls sold coffee, punch, and hamburgers. After lunch the group assembled in the gym and played games.

Some think that talent includes music only, while others think it may include such things as plays, readings, etc. Did you ever stop to realize how much talent is shown during the school year? If not we will try to impress upon your mind just what takes place as summed up altogether Two class plays are gven by the Juniors and Seniors, two entertain- ments are put on by the Class in Ex- pression, and the grades give two operettas. Each year, the High School is represented in the High School Music Contest. This year it was represented in more divisions than ever before. Now what would the school be without these things? The school would only be represented in athle- tics. So we must remember that it takes local talent to make these things a success.—Dale Jordan —C. H. S.— SPRING FEVER Spring! Spiing! Spring! Ah! Yes the fair chasm of Lady Spring is up- on us. We are held by her magnetic joy to live again in the wonders of a paradise. Isn’t it a glorious feeling to | emerge from the cold gloom of win- ter into the warm musical spring? i And to again see nature in all the forms of her loveliness? Spring conquers with its sweetness and reigns with a wand of dreams. She is the cure of all sadness. The lovers, the birds, the trees and in fact the whole creation gives Spring the heartiest of welcome. My love and adoration of Spring is so great that words can not express —my Spring Fever.—Junior Oster- man —C. H. S— Cat O’ Nine Tails, Apr. 19 20.

He was spotted an 8 run advantage by his team mat s in the first inning and a-: a result was never in danger. Wiliiams, catcher, and a new comer to the squad, and Schank in center i field contributed the punch to Clarks attack, Schank hitting once for the circuit. Ksiazek al;o helped to win his own game by driving out a home run in the fourth inning. The team was a little erratic in their base running but these spots will no doubt iron out by the time they meet Marquette on the Clarks diamond on Friday, April 15.

Clark , Nebraska, April 20, 1932 THE SKRA LC Published Weekly By the Clarks High School Subscription Price Per Year Students 25c Adults 50c Out of Town 75c DO YOUR OWN WORK “Why not do your own work?” “Why not be square with yourself?” “Why not be square with others?” These are some questions that need to be answered—and answered correct- ly Students who are or have been guilty of copying material that others have worked on say: “Why shouldn’t I copy when I get better grades and learn as much from copying as from studying it out?” This may sound well enough, but what do we come to school for? To stuff our minds with facts, or to learn to think? To learn where to go to find things we want know? We certainly do not come to school to get a record of good grades. We come to learn to think for ourselves by thinking for ourselves. WASHINGTON Aren’t you being gyped on the deal? If you continue such prac- tices you will merely be forming habits of idlement, training yourself for dependence, becoming a common copy-cat, a sneak, a simple minded follower with no self respect or judgment of your own. At the same time you are not giving your friends a square deal. You are stealing their work in trying to de- ceive your instructor. And in the end the teacher always knows. You are fooling no one except yourself. So let’s resolve to do a little re- forming. It may take a little time and be a little hard, but think how much better we feel when we are en- tirely honest. Let’s get our own work and the first thing we know we’ll have more self confidence, self re- liance, an self-respect. Be an in- dividual, have a character of your own. Do your own work. —C. H.

Through the death of George Washington’s half brother’s daugh- ter, Washington became the owner of the estate of Mount Vernon, at Hunting Creek, on the Potomac. To these lands he added about 5000 acres by his marriage to Mrs. Martha Dondridge Custis, a pretty intelli- gent, and charming young widow. As he was just twenty-seven when he married, life must have looked very pleasant to him. His neighbors testified to their good opinion of him by electing him to the House of Burgesses. i 1 TRACK—RELAYS Madison, Schank, Bush, Booth, Williams, Land, Strasburg, Rines and Shemek represented Clarks at the Gth Annual Hastings Relays Satur- day, April 16.

MARQUETTE Inability to hit with men on base, cost Clarks a ball game played with Marquettte Friday. Marquette had one big inning in which they scored 5 runs and this gave them a lead which they never lost. The final score was Marquette 9—Clarks 6.

The tennis courts will be ready to be in use by Tuesday or Wednesday. All boys out for tennis are asked to bring a hoe or rake to work on the courts. There is more interest taken in tennis this year than there has been in previous years and this combined with some good material will help to make a fine tennis team. There will be a tournament among those out for tennis to determine those to represent Clarks in tennis tournaments. —C. H.

Alice Becker says she likes to teach very much. One of the most inter- esting things about the past week’s experiences was the planting of three Chinese elms and a lilac bush. They planted them on Arbor Day. All that we could get out of Charles T. Golder was the fact that he liked teaching “a lot” and found the pupils amusing.

Elizabeth Graves MAY DAY The Ancient Greeks and Romans held a springtime celebration dedi- i cated to Flora the Goddess of flowers. By holding this festival in her honor they hoped she would be pleased and give rich harvest in return. Flowers were gathered to decorate her altar and they sang songs in praise of spring and Flora. The American people for their May Day celebration years ago in England everybody went “a maying” in the first day of May to gather flowers and to cut a tree for the May- pole. The pole was set up in the center of the village green and a boy or girl was chosen to be King or Queen of May, In later years it has been decorated with flowers and ribbons and child- ren dressed in their best white dresses danced around the pole sing- ing. The Puritans who were very ser- ious people thought the celebration savored far too much of the heathen superstition and so May Day has not been celebrated as it was years ago. It is still observed by the little folks who delight in decorating baskets and filling them with flowers and candy to hang on the door knobs of their many friends homes. WASHINGTON One of the most recent historians of the American people has said that General Washington and President Washington is known to us; but: George Washington is an unknown man. He stands as a type, and has stamped himself on the world’s imagination. In the progress of time he has become more or less mythical, and the real Washington has become almost lost to sight. He has bgen pictured as a lonely figure, of lofty intellect and tremendouse moral force, but of little warmth be- neath his austerity. It is true that this myth has some reality in it. In Washington there was something of greatness and of majesty which held men aloof. He was a difficult man to know', and scarcely one of his speeches, letters, or messages reveals'anything of the man. But behind this myth is a real man of very human thoughts and emotion.:. He who fails to.see the. humanity of Washington fails utterly to grasp the meaning of nis life.

Con- science can be defined in many ways. The inward emotions deciding right from wrong may be called your con- science. Some say that your con- science is the voice of God. We know that our consciene will lead us to obey the “Ten Command- ments.” We do not always obey our conscience however, and once your desires over-rule your con- science you will soon lose your moral standard. A child) does not have a conscience until it is told right from wrong. A young man or lady who does not have a conscience will grow up to be peo- ple who cannot be trusted. By the time we are students in high school we should have the conscience to decide right from wrong for our- selves and not depend so much on the advice of others. Establish a code of morals for yourself and live up to them. Re- member your future is your own so make the most of it. —Ex —C. H.

SILVER CREEK j Teams that took part in the tennis ' tournament at St Edwards last Fri- day were Clarks, Polk, and St Ed- wards. The St Edwards boys and the Polk girls run off with the honors in most cases. Margaret Bittinger and Helen Romm were defeated by I St Edwards in the first round and ! Polk in the second in the girls | doubles. Henrietta followed the | same courso in the girls singles. i In the boys doubles Schank and Shemek won from Polk and were put down by St Edwards. Booth and Strasburg in the other double team also won from Polk and were defeat- ed by St Edwards. Land, number cne, for C.arks singles beat Polk and lost to St Edwards. Sherwood num- ber tw'o, also defeated Polk and lost to St Edwards. Cowgill was the only Clarks play- er to come through. He beat both Polk and St Edwards to win number three single honors. SHEMEK SETS NEW RECORD FOR MILE Clarks took fourth place in confer- 1 c nee track meet at St Edwards mak- ing a total of 12 points. St. Ed- wards with a team far superior to any of the others captured first. Men pacing for Clarks w'ere:—Shemek, first in the mile, Schank third in the 220, Land third in half mile, and Madison fourth in the shot, in the javelin, and in the 440. In the 440 and medley relays the C.arks team got third which is just out of the money. Clarks boys that competed in the meet were:—Schank, Land, Shemek, Booth, Strasburg, Madison, Williams, Sweet and Rines. Men from Polk, Silver Creek, Fullerton, St Edwards, Clarks and Osceola took part in the meet. Clarks High scored a double vic- tory when the High School track team out scored Silver Creek in a dual meet 53 to 33, and the Clarks grades but pointed their rivals from Silver Creek 42—17. Clarks High slammed 2 events tak- ing all three places in the 440 yard dash and the mile run. Silver Creek showed more strength in the field events taking first and second in the shot and discus and first in the High Jump while Clarks took first in the broad jump, 100 yard dash—440 yard dash, 880 yard run— the mile run and the relay. Schank of Clarks was high point man of the High School section with 12 points placing first in the 100 yard dash—second in the 220, second in the broad jump and third in the dis- cuss and also led the relay team. In the grade division, Gibson walk- ed off with individual honors with 20 points placing first in the broad jump high jump, shot put and the 100 yard dash. He also ran on the winning relay team. Due to a strong wind, no unusual performances were turned in with the exception of the broad jump. In this event Strasburg leaped 19 feet 5 inches and Schank 19 feet 4 inches both of these marks bettering the win- ning jump at the conference track meet last week. Alva: Soap educates the eyes. Helen: Yes? Alva: Well, it makes them smart. QUESTION BOX 1. After whom was the month of May named? 2. Has May always been the fifth month of the year? 3.

Family reunions and programs are held on this day in honor of motherhood. This, how- ever, should not be the only day on which we think of mother and do kindnesses toward her—it should just be considered one special day on which everyone’s thoughts are turned toward Mother. Congress and the executive depart- ments celebrate this day also and the flag is displayed from all government building’s and many private homes. —C. H.

Margaret BLFnger, while feverish- ly working on h r annual pages, is. forever bawling some one out, whether he has anything to do with the annual or not (we expect a ner- vous breakdown). Mrs. Vedder':;; good English is be- ing used to a great advantage (and so is Webster’s). The manager worries over the ad- vertisements ; but not half as much as he does over the paper cutter.

The e tests are -ent out by the University of Nebraska to determine the standing of the student and his capability for college work. If he does not rank “C” or above the stu- dent wi;. be required to take trie subject again without college credit. So with the dreadful thought of taking English and Algebra over in College (if they fail), the Seniors took li.ieir medicine. Leon Madison and Charles Golder took tests last Saturday for the Uni- versity scholarship. Leon took World History, Charles Physics and both of them American History and Latin. We hope their scores will be well up in the list. TENNIS TOURNAMENT Clarks High Tennis players were defeated by St. Edward on the home courts last Saturday. Those who participated were Land, Cowgill, Schank, Sherwood, Booth, Strasburg, Kohlhof—Wilson, Land, Romm, Hahn, Bittinger and Shana- han. Cowgill and Sherwood came through winning Class A Doubles, Strasburg won Class C singles. CLARKS HIGH RANKS WELL IN STATE The standardized Every Pupil Scholarship tests taken the second semester were sent in to be compared with other school of the state.

It can easily be seen that we are above standard in the scores shown below. Freshen English:—3 A’s, 7 B’s, 11 C’s, 2 D’s and IF. Sophomore English:—7 A’s, 2 B’s, 3 C’s, and 1 F.

MORSE The Honorable William John Coop- er, United States Commissioner of Education, recommends that all schools celebrate Morses’ discovery of the telegraph on May 13 th. May 14th will mark the one hun- dredth anniversary of this remark- able invention. Clarks High School dedicates this space to Mr. Morse. Morse was bom in Charlestown, Mass., and wr? graduated at Yale College in 1810. After his gradu- ation he studied art and while doing this he conceived the idea of the telegraph. After he had perfected his instruments he applied to his government for aid, but they only ridiculed him. He then tried to in- terest foreign governments, but was again unsuccessful. Once more he applied to the United States for fi- nancial aid and in 1843 congress ap- propriated $30,000 for the building of a telegraph line from Washington to Baltimore. The line was com- pleted on May 24, 1844, and the first words that went over the line were, “What hath God wrought?” Morse also laid the first submarine telegraph line in New York Harbor, and he took the first doguerreotype made in the United States. As an WASHINGTON Three of the greatest events of Washington’s first term were the adoption in 1789 of the first import tariff; second, the establishment of the bank of the United States; and the third, the asaumpt.on of the state debts and the funding of the national debt. All three measures were 1792. In September 1789, the [United States Supreme Court came I into existence. About the same j t.me, the national mint was establish- I ed at Philadelphia, and the decimal system of coinage was adopted to the constitution. largely the work of Alexander Hamil- ton. This assumption was follow- ed with the question of the location of the national capital. The Union was enlarged by the admission of (Vermont in 1791 and Kentucky in THE GRADE OPERETTA The grade operetta, “The Quest of the Pink Parasol” was given at the high school auditorium Tuesday, May 3. Special numbers were two readings by Phoebe Snider, and songs by the Grade Girls’ Glee Club. The pro- gram was directed by Dorothy Peter- son. The program was given in a very pleasing manner, and a good sized crowl attended. The H h School Octet sang two numbers at the Research Club Thurs- day, May 5. They sang “In a Gon- dola” taken from “A Day in Venice,” by Nevin, and “Kentucky Babe”, by Adam Giebal and arranged by Rich- ard Buck.

SENIOR SNEAK DAY The Seniors succes fully sneaked last Monday. They went by truck to spend the day in Hastings. All the points of interest were taken in: The museum where the birds and mummies were most enjoyed; Ingle- side where everyone kept close to the bunch. The Hastings Daily Tri- bune, where they posed for a picture; and then they sampled the Eskimo Pies at an ice cream factory. ''-—-A .picnic lunch at noon and a wiener roast at night added fun to the program. The Seniors say, “We wish the day had been longer.” CLARKS VS DUNCAN Easeba’l and Track Playing on? of the best games all season, the C arks High ball team capped the game again-t Duncan to the count of 6 to 4. The team has had practically no practice for over two weeks. This is only the fourth game but is the last because high school in this section have nearly all dropped baseball. After the baseball game a short track meet was held which Clarks al- so won 48 to 16. Clarks slammed the 2I20 and 880 and got firsts in the high jump, broad jump, and the hundred yard dash also. CLARKS VERSE A new book has appeared on the shelves of our library which has the distinction of having contributors from the Clarks school. It is an- thology of poetry. Since it is made in the loose-leaf style, other contri- butions will be added from year to year when the urge to write poetry (because of spring and its attendant effects or at the gent.e behest of an English teacher) comes over the stu- dents. Contributions are not 11m t- ed to high school students, for we have the seventh and eighth grade represented already. It i hoped the book will serve to preserve some fine efforts at poetry production- as well as serve as an incentive to t.;at form of exprej. ion.

The circus was really a banquet, but everyone seemed to en- joy it as much as a real circus. The reception was held in Mrs. Westman’s room. Here everyone was given a paper hat of their class colors. Miss Wieland told fortunes. At the word the guests were taken to the circus in the gymnasium. A large tent cf purple and gold, the Senior colors, and orchid and white the Junior colors, was con- structed in the center of the gym. Balloons were seen floating around near the top of the tent. The tables were decorated with circus animals, purple and go.d candles, and iris. The nut cups were of the class colors and the place cards were small c’owns.

All of them are very proud of what they have accomplished. Others have just reached one goal in their education. Some are happy some are sorry it is over—many re- gret wasted hours. And some are sullenly worrying about credits, say- ing, “Well, she didn’t have no busi- ness flunking me”—and then follow the excuses. There is a general confusion per- vading the school—there are activi- ties every night, and so much prac- ticing! Everyone is reviewing for tests, taking tests, writing in auto- graph albums, paying bills, or hunting for that person that’s needed at this meeting or that meeting. And yet there is a letting up—book reports are finished, texts are handed in— classes are few and far between— students walk leisurely about in groups talking of light things and laughing. School is almost over, and after one good cry (Commencement! night) and one lively picnic, we will ! bid goodbye to many of our school- mates—forever! WASHINGTON From Mount Vernon to New York, the administration march of Washing ton was a long, triumphal procession. The roads were lined with people to see him pass. In the villages, all work stopped; bells were rung, guns were fired, and flowers were scatter- ed in his path. Through it all, Washington was profoundly moved but sober and almost sad. Washing ton was thinking more of the great- j ness of his task than of his present! glory. He was inauguarated on j April 30. After taking the oat'.i of j office cn the balcony at Federal ] Hall, in Wall Street, he withdrew in- ! to the Senate Chamber and read his j inaugural address to the axembled Congress.

Fifteen pupils in our room have finished their Knighthood of Youth castles. Our picnic will begin at eleven o’clock Friday. It will be at the southwest corner of the school grounds. Please bring all food out under these trees. I wish to take this opportunity to express my appreciation of the fine cooperation the parents have shown in the past three years of my teaching experience in the Clarks Public School. I also feel it was my good fortune to be able to work with Supt. Harry R. Vedder. I wish also to thank tie Board of Education for the consideration they have given me. SECOND AND THIRD GRADE Patric;a Strasburg visited our room last week. Our picnic will be Friday morning on the school ground. Ail mothers are invited. Nearly every castle in our room Las been completed. Merrill Schutte celebrated his birthday Monday. FOURTH AND FIFTH GRADE The Knights of the Mystic Star held their final meeting for the year on Friday, May 13. The roll call was answered by he name of a spring Power. A program consisting cf the following numbers was given:— Readings—Dolan Pollard; Panto- mime—Jane Rudeman, Earl Mustard Hal Stumpff, William Feehan; Don- ald Douglas and Paul Trainor. Nearly everyone in the room has their castle completed. Miss Wie- and says true knightship has been •hown n working for the stones and he is very proud of them. At the clase of the meeting every- one received a treat for money they lad earned. Virginia Copeland, Sec’y. Vinson Bittinger and Doris Mae Lindahl have perfect attendance re- cords for the entire year. Neither aave been absent or tardy. Au revoir, everybody. I hope you enj-cy your vacation. SIXTH GRADE We have taken our library bocks back to the H'gh School Library. All our plan; are made for the pic- nic Friday. We are busy reviewing for final exams. SEVENTH AND EIGHTH GRADES Bouquets of flowers were brought this week by Wilma Mustard, Donna Cowgill and Gladys Luft. The eighth grade have successfully passed the.r eighth grade exams. STATE TRACK MEET The boys entering the State Track Meet were:—Madison, 220 and 440 yard dashes; Schank 100 and 220 yard dashe ; Shemek lmile; Williams and Land, half mile, but all the boys met with stiff competition or hard luck and no one placed. The tennis players: Land, Sher- wood and CowgiJ also took defeat. Land played a boy from Creighton Prep, who took State Championship- we can guess his fate. Sherwood and Cowgill met a team from Jack- son High School of Lincoln and also have a bad defeat on record. This will end High School tennis for Sherv;ood and High School track for Madison, Shemek and Williams. i WE WONDER — j If the Seniors got enough to eat at the banquet. Where Junior Osterman put all of his ice cream. Which part of the Big Parade Mr. j | Walker was. Clarks, Nebraska, May 18, 1932 RAH! RAH! SOPHOMORE ENGLISH CLASS The results from the standard tests have come back from the Kansas State Teacher’s College—our Sopho- more English class had the highest median of any reports sent in from the six or seven hundred schools in several states who took the tests. | This standing speaks very well for our English department. THIRD ANNUAL ALUMNI BANQUET The third annual alumni banquet of the Clarks High School was held Tuesday evening in the high school gym. The Senior Class of 1932 were guests of the Alumni and a very fine program and menu was enjoyed by all. The Seniors here wish to express their thanks and desire to join the honorable Alumni of Clarks High. BACCALAUREATE SERVICE Baccalaureate services were at the High School Sunday night, May 15.

FRESHMEN NOTES Since we have finished our Latin book we have been reading stories from another book. They are very interesting. We have completed our Mythology booklet. It cont ins advertisements referring to different gods and stories in Mythology. The Sewing Class has made every- thing required for the year, but we have one thing left. A test! We will not be Freshmen much longer. Of course we want to be Sophomores but we’ve all thoroughly enjoyed being green, nervous and giggly. We all enjoyed having Mr. Walker as our sponsor this year and wish him good luck in the future. SOPHOMORE NOTES The Sophomore girls and Lucile Krong served a: the Junior-Senior Banquet. They were dressed as clowns. Walter Fosbury was the organ grinder. The 10th grade hisory class is very glad that rchool is almost finished so that Mr. Odum will not have us write anymore “History Themes.” Amanda Larson was greatly sur- prised on her birthday by the Sopho- more girls and others. Delicious re- freshments were served by the hos- tesses Ruth Carson and Geraldine Shanahan. JUNIOR NOTES To Miss Graves:—Because this is our last week of school we wish to thank you for the work of sponsoring us. We have enjoyed having you as sponsor and hope you will be our Senior sponsor. To the other classes:—We hope we will not be so dignified as the Seniors of this year. To Mr. Odum:—We hope to send i all of our boys out for athletics next i year. SENIOR NOTES At last! a nice easy (?) test dosed the Physics course on Tuesday. Every person in class should get an A or more, if not less. The Seniors are pretty well repre- sented in the boy’s di. Lion of the tennis tournamen by Sherwood, Shemek, Golder, and Strasburg. However they seem to be sadly ui need of some giris to play. It’s a great relief to be through worrying about Shakespeare and other English authors. We checked in our Englis.i book, Wednesday.
