EDITORIALS No MarTs Land Just south of town, our forefathers who first started this town and helped make it what it is today, are buried. This is my no man's land. We don't even think enough of them to take care of their graves. Many of them have no relatives left to look after their graves. I think it should be done by the town or the townspeople. If we mowed the lots and straightened up the stones, it would at least imply Thank You to those who made it possible for us to live here. Some club or organization could take this as a project. The work could be completed in two or three weekends. After getting the graves in good condition, the clubs here in town could take it upon themselves to keep the graves mowed. One year it could be the Lions project, the next year, the Grange; etc. By mowing this cemetary every two weeks, it would not only improve its appearance but also show respect for our fore- fathers. Remember, they are gone but should not be forgotten. Jon Whitten . Editor Value of Athletics in Public High School The value of athletics in public high schools is the co-operation of one fellow with another to reach a certain goal. In any kind of a team, one man cannot do the whole thing alone. In basketball, a man cannot bring the balldownthe floor and score continually. He has to have someone to feed so he can score. This co-operation should be applied in the classroom. Don't give the teacher a hard time, co-operate with him and he will help you. Another reason why athletics are good is that the people participating in sports are at school most of the time. Usually a person who misses two or three weeks during a year will miss only a week, because he does not want to miss practice. If he does some one will take his place on the team or beat him out of sub-position. A person participating in sports tries to get better marks than usual because he wishes to keep his rank up so he can play on the team. A subject in which he usually gets C, he might get B because he is spurred on to greater effort because of his interest in athletics. Some students do not normally take much physical exercise, but they could get plenty of this in athletics. It helps them to develop lazy muscles. It teaches students the value of good sportsmanship, teamplay, and co-operation not only in sports but also in all walks of life. Dale Williams Assistant Editor
