There is not a doubt of that, but what are we going to do? Those who lower themselves so far as to delve into the pockets of others and abstract articles, money, and even steal sweaters, are on the jvay to a rapid downfall. Sooner or later there is going to be a show-down and those who have been carrying on the “dirty work” are apt to be dealt with more severely than they imagine. Amongst the student body there are a limited few who have a pretty good idea as to who the thieves are, especially those who stole the two sweaters from Carroll Cowden, one sweater being a greatly prized gift from C. H. S. a year ago, his basketball 1 sweater. The other was a football sweater of blue. Petty sums of money have disappeared, but there is no doubt but what they have been stolen, not mislaid or lost. One fellow was unlucky enough to be robbed of fifteen dollars, all hard earned dollars too. “Where is the man with soul so dead” who has so little love and respect for his school that he will commit derogatory acts which give her name a smirch in the minds of the public and a “black eye” in the minds of other schools, whose visiting teams have to be warned to watch their belongings?

LEO H. STERN. The many high school friends of Leo H. Stern were saddened when, after a short illness from pneumonia, he succumbed Sunday morning, February 15. Mr. Stern possessed a personality which won for him many friends. He was as deeply interested in C. H. S. athletics as any outsider could be and the basketball team lost one of its most ardent supporters when Stern was taken. Members of the basketball team acted as pall bearers when the remains were taken to Cleveland for interment. MRS. JOHN IRISH. The school extends sympathy to Miss Lucille Irish, a member of the Junior class, whose mother, Mrs. John Irish, passed away Sunday, February 15, at the home of another daughter, Mrs. Eric Erickson, Ashtabula.

H. B KURTZ The HALLMARK Store Quality Jewelry RETROSPECTIVE. One half of our school year is passed. During the semester what have we gained? Have we accomplished anything worth while? Have we bettered ourselves? Briefly, have we advanced mentally in the four and a half months of school immediately passed? If we have, we may feel elated for a few days; then we ought to return to work with more vim and energy than before. If we have accomplished nothing of great importance, done little worth while, failed miserably in our tests, let us have a reckoning with ourselves! May the outcome be to return to school and work with the determination to make up for the lost time by the application of concentrated and lengthy study. Those of us who failed may awaken to the fact that we were constantly slighting a part of our work, drifting along with no ultimate objective in view. It may bring us to a better realization of our true worth and may greatly offend our vanity, all of which may do us good. AVe may be so angry with ourselves as to even resolve to place our names on the honor roll hereafter and do better work than ever before. If, later on, we can trace our success to the mere fact that we failed a high school study, in a way it was worth while to. Remember that the man who counts in this world is the one who with nothing, and down and out, everything against him, can smile and with grim determination make a success of himself. OPPORTUNITY John Ingles lias said that opportunity knocks only once. Therefore would it not he advisable to he ready when YOUR opportunity comes? No matter who you are, at some time you will have your chance. But AY ILL you he able to take it? Will you have prepared yourself in your line of work so that you art1 fit for higher work? David Belasco discovered David Warfield, one of the prominent modern interpreters of Shakespearean drama, playing in an obscure Bowery burlesque theatre. Belasco realized that this actor was ready for higher work. Not long ago some members of a certain burlesque company were discussing the day’s work. One said to another, “Why did you work so hard? We didn’t have much of a crowd.” “A es, ” replied the other, “but Belasco might have been in what crowd we did have.” That was a conscientious worker, and one who was watching for opportunity.
