A new basketball and a volley ball has been purchased for the physical education classes. The girls, since the be- ginning of the class, have been engaging with zeal in such games as volley ball, basketball, German hat ball, and several games of baseball. They now, instead of trot- ting around after the boys' basket- ball, have their own. When first shown the balls they expressed their appreciation by such excla- mations as, Golly, are they real- ly ours? Aren't they dandy? and Oh, boy, 1et's play ball! -CContinued on Page TwoJ CAST WORKING ON COMEDY FOR RESENTATION Jean Marie McConnell, Lucille Wylie, Jack Stith, John Powell and Tiny Williams in The Leads The cast for the operetta, Oh Doctor, to be given by the Mixed Glee Club in the High- School au- ditorium Thursday and Friday nights, December 6 and 7, has been announced by the director.

What is this thing called education which most of us are trying to get? An educator once said that it was that which was left when a person forgot the things he learned in school. This definition might be considered a little radical but to say the least it gives food for thought. Of course a person does not forget all of the formal learning which he absorbs at school, but there is no doubt but that thousands of facts which are at one time or the other at our command fold their tents like the Arabs and silently steal away. A What, then, is education? Who is the educated person? Is it the person who can recall the most facts at a given time? Possibly, but that alone will not make you an educated person. If you have the proper attitude toward your teachers, your classmates, and your family: if you are honest, intellectually and socially: if you are tolerant of the other fellow's views and religion: if you have learned to be thorough and efficient in whatever you undertake: if you can appreciate the beautiful in art, music, and nature: if you have learned the essential fairness of open-mindedness and suspended judgment: if you have learned to practice healthful living: if you have learned to be a good citizen and fully realize what citizenship implies: if you have learned to take it as well as to dish it out : and, most important of all, if you have learned to analyze your own strength and weakness and have learned how to chart an intel- ligent course of action without being continually prodded into doing it: if you can do all these things and a few score of others, there is a chance for your becoming educated, Maybe the fellow in the first paragraph was not so far wrong after all. He was probably talking about the things got- ten from the antiquated books in the Qld type school. The modern high school can bring you the good things of life if you will but take advantage of them. College' will supple- ment this by broadening your entire outlook upon life and help- ing you to develop a philosophy of living which will make life more worth while.
