The yell leaders were asked to attend as the meeting was held in order to discuss the organization and management of the school pep ses- ions. B111 Huffman made a motion that we have pep sessions twice a week and Margaret Collins second- ed the motion. The motion was unanimously carried. Mr. Gibson was consulted about the council ruling and he agreed to the arrangement but suggested. that the periods should be limit- ed to ten or fifteen minutes eadm The suggestion was acceptable to the council: consequently, the yell leaders have planned to pre- sent new material at each week's first pep meeting. At the fol- lowing meeting, their' aim ls to review this same material. Stu- dents may memorlze new 'yells' ln the meantime. This new plan should result ln a desirable and well-organized 'rooting' section. The ruling will be .placed in effect immediately! We will have the two sesslons per week: How- ever the yell leaders have a right to expect full, enthusiastic co-operation on the part of the students and faculty to make these pep assemBIIes a bucoess. Our enthusiasm must become contaglous in the communlty, pen- etrate the opponent's fans, and permeate all 'on-lookers.' Many games have been won by 'reputa- t1on,' which is in a measure-- 'fan psychology.' Therefore, let us get behind our team, coach, and yell leaders and make this fiscal basketball year a 'shoot- 1ng,! hitting, and yelling' suc- cess SENIORS ELECT STUDENTS TO FILL YEAR BOOK STAFF POSITIONS The Senior Class held a meet- ing Wednesday, November 9, to elect students to fill the posts of the year book staff.

Subscriptions have been en- tered for twenty-seven magazines for grade and high school use. At present, the new books are loaned for shorter periods than the older ones in order that new copies may circulate more rapidly and students who are eager to read them will not find lt necessary to walt so long for a book. Borrowers, keeping one of the new books past the date due are subject to the usual fines and in addition forfeit their prlvlledge of borrowing another book for at least one week.

The idea of the organization is nota place to come for friend- ship, fun, and complalntsg but for parents and teachers to get better acquainted and solve prob- lems arising in the school which are of common interest to both, The following officers were elected: Pres1dent-Bern1cefH1eb- ellngg Vice-President -- Hildreth Vanceg Treasurer -- Vula Cruea. Roscoe Hall, Arza Vance, and John Blair acted as judges and counted the votes. Hr. Gibsonwas elected co-ordl- nator to work asa steward officer between faculty and parents. A moving picture entitled 'South .of' the Border' was shown the latter all of us to give-a little extra thought to our democratic methods of 'education as an extensive Amer1can.enterpr1ee. Yet, as students few of us work to capacity even for an hour out of each day. On every hand the lament is heard that 'there just lsn't enough time to do all the things which we must do.' Consequently, in an effort to disguise our own short-comlngs such as laziness, lack of know- ledge concerning how to study, poor management, or unmeasured greed for personal glory we skim a nuns here, trim a blt snare, evode, pretend, bluff, use some- one else's work--or, just muddle through. A great hurry has seized us! We have an excess of motion but not enough sense of direction and management. As'a result, we get nowhere, and we blame it all on bad luckl T Adults continue through life blaming inadequate high school programs, poor teachers etc.,for their lack of opportunities. It never seems to occur to them that perhaps they failed some place along the line, to prepare to take advantage of oppor- tunltles. therefore, they don't recognize them as such. have yug- as students, thought whether you should have to rely on poorexcus- es to 'sham' your own tnabllltles to govern your household and rear a family of good American Citizens? Have you, or are you, preparing now to face the future proudly, matter-of-factly, and truthfully,--well prepared to cope with future problems. American education has oppor- tunities unequalled by other countries of our world. However, few high school students ever realize this while they are still students. Why don't you stop now and give this subject some thought? Take full advantage of the education offered you!

Eaton 18 - Gaston 4 As cu r baseball season 1s'd.re.w- ing close to an end, another very Apleaslng and exciting event took place on Friday, October 6 on our :home diamond with Gaston as our opponet. The first two lnnings were good baseball. The second and third seemed to be good'prac-8 tice for our boys, but ln the fifth inning when our boys went wild and got around all four sides of the diamond ll times, it ls boubtful whether lt was even good practice or notlll Even with an unexperienced pitcher, Joe Elliott, and an un- experlence catcher, Homer Meyer for the Norsemenl our team seemed to be plenty tough' for the Gaston Bulldogs. U Gaston had a very 'rugged' pitcher. By his actions, one would think his motto was 'Strike them out or knock them cut.' Con- sequently Homer Meyers and Junior Bmoot came out of the encounter with swollen fingers, hands and muscles. Incldently, though, our boys were strictly on the 'solid s1de.' ' !'m sure we all noticed those two 'streamline' three baggers Dave Rlebellng got.

This was' a baseball war, we weren't able to win,so we say, 'Take it away, DeSoto, and may good-luck be with you until the endll May the best team win the championship and let ue all be good losers. Royerton 19 - Eaton 8 On Wednesday September 24, the Junior' High Team had as their guests, the Royerton Junior High Redbirds. It seemed that this day was just one of those unlucky days. Royerton got started first and ended up on tcp by a score of lO'to 8. The team suffered a handicap by the absence of Dick Norrick who normally filled the ,positionof shortstop on the team. Fred Elliott and Bill Thomas were the losing pitcher and catcher respectively for the Norsemen. FINAL PITCHERS' RECORD , LP. A.B. H. R.

This year's team had a winning season from the' polnt of wins and losses, but this' kind of winning dcesn't bring home the trophies. As a uncle the boys did very- well this fall. They lost to a fine team, DeSoto, in the pky off in the Northern Division of Dels- wsre County play. If dm boys could have defeated DeSoto on DeSoto's diamond on Sept. 22 they could have been. riding in the dr1ver'a seat, but as we all know, close ones count only in horseshoes I -

ON TH TOP KUNG OF 'THE GOOD SPIRIT' LADDS3 Another basketball season has come, and with it the remembrance of past school spiritedness which has not been entirely favorable, especially from the standpoint of yell Wparticipation at the ball games. Quite frequently someone says, WI don't want to yell: there'e enough without me anyway.W The truth of the matter is that they don't possess enough of the riglm school spirit. Also, if everyone said this, there would be no one to take part. It is the duty of every fan to do his part in making the team boys feel as if there's someone backing them. Of course, we don't want to forget the yell' leaders to whom we owe our utmost enthusiasm and our best co-operation. The pep sessions are a definite help though, and should continue to be more so. Poor sportsmanship is another unwelcome quality. Really, no benefit is gained by booing and insulting the officials and oppo- nents. Everyone is given a bad opinion of our school, and fur- thermore, no respect is held for booing. These are the major points to bs'considered and remembered if' we are to have desirable school spirit, so let's do our best to get and keep Eaton High School on tha ann runs nf tha Wound mniritW .IBUTTE 0 PRINCIPAL GIBSON PRESENTS I SSABE T0 H. 8. STUDENTS Intelligence, -Character And Personality Make The Han r What is Chooses To Be. Intelligence for the most part is a matter of taking what devlne providence saw fit to bestow upon you at birth. But your character and personality can be, to a great extent, what you care to make lt. A pleasant disposition, s winning smile, and a courteous behavior can be obtained by the force of habit. Consequently. lake an effort to improve your habits ln dealing with people and you will be repatd a thousand times. A frowny loud mouth, unconsiderate boy already has two strikes against him, but an intelligent, well mannered young gentleman has the world before him! There are two things that make a man stand apart from the crowd and achieve for himself a place of honor, welfare, and position. First of all he must have intel- ligence plus the determination to use such for his own advancement. In the second place, he must have a character- and personality to let his fellow msn know that he is deserving of honor, welfare, and position. TROPHY T0 BE PRESENTED T0 HIGHEST FOUL TOSBER - Award To Be Made At End Of Season Down ln the Athletic Dept. stands a six-inch trophy that will be claimed by the varsity man who bags the highest percent- age of foul shots for the season. Anyg member of the varsity is ajghne for the award, provided he shoots as many foul shots dur- lng the season as there are games in the season. ' The highest member of the :reserve team is to be awarded a watch charm lcommonly known as ha keyl. The same rules apply to the reserves as to the varsity. It is hoped that this will stimulate interest in foul shoot- ing. slnoe the'Norsemen have been Roll .I gyda' U The Eaton High School honor roll as released for October is as follows: Seniors: Ilah Addington 15 pts. 5 sds.
