EDITORIALS EIICRS The play Ducks was presented hy the Senior Class of Free- po1't.High School, Friday, Dee. l 4, 1928, at the Nordiea Theater. There was :L full house of four hundred persons and over 35125 taken in. Gladys Oliver appeared as a feminine advocate of farm relief. Clyde Ulriokson, in the role of the lll2l.lltl,gGl' of her ranch, help- ed her keep the wolf from the door until oil was discovered on her land, and then he nin,rried her. Tate Ayer acted very natural :Ls the young airnmn stricken with amnesia as the result of :L crash near the rnnchhouse. His heart was soon captivated by Frances Cushing, :L college friend of Marislou, very modern in her ideas and llzipperish in her appeairzince. The clown of the play, Philmon I-Inteh, was :L riot. His pert called for a sen'1i-llalfwit who mixed things up, did most of the ranting a- round, and was concerned mostly with divulging gossip before anyone else. No other nniateur could have done more with the part. The acting was direeted hy Miss Ashworth, who had coached Senior dranms for several years. Cast of Characters.

TH E OLARI ON The French classes have also profited, for they can achieve correct pronunciation by listening to records made by French artists. We have used our Orthophonie during the music period that We may become more familiar with the well known song writers and their productions, and that we may be able to recog- nize different instruments used in a selection. And last but not least our Orthophonic has furnished recreation and enjoy- ment at recess time. EDNA TRUE '29 the wflllle of Zltbletics An athletic program should be included in the curricula of high school, chiefly as a dive1'sion for the mind of the student for a few hours during the day. But this is not the only rea- son, for athletics develop the body by strengthening the muscles and thus cause the participant to be more agile. Furthermore, the brain is exercised as well as the body and in pursuit of some sports the accuracy of the eye is greatly improved. Nor must We overlook the fact that individual dicipline which aecures from participation in athletic contests is no inconsider- able factor. Undoubtedly the greatest benefit derived from athletics is its aid in building the character. Everyone admires a true sport. I believe, if you notice carefully, you will find that most athletes are citizens who display true sportsmanship in all walks of life. They are good winners, but better still, they are good losers !
