' St. • .. • -.c - aLTHOUGH the life of the pioneer was a busy one, devoted chiefly to the building of his rude sod or log house, and wresting from his crude environment his very existence, a little gaiety now and then crept into his almost monotonous life. Perhaps a quilting bee, a house warming, a spell- down, a debate brought the people together a nd these were enjoyed as social activities. But the one outstanding social function, which most clearly characterized the social life of the pio- neer, was the country dance. The word was passed along for miles that there would be a dance in some home or schoolhouse. Entire families came and soon the old fiddler tuned his fiddle and the dance began with everyone on the floor. No one was too old, too young, too fat or too poor. About midnight the stove lid was lifted ; the coffee pot set on the coals and soon all were eating the lunch of cakes and sandwiches brought by the ladies. Then the dance was resumed til the wee small hours of the morning. — 18 —

THE GLASGOW ROUNDUP GLASGOW HIGH BOOSTS THE BEST Published by Glasgow Students of Journalism STAFF Editor-in-Chief Roy De Haven Associate Editor Roy Johnson Business Manager Dprothy Hovey Humor Editor Dale Smith Sports Editor Paul Etchepare Senior Reporter Callie Peterson Junior Reporter Joe Martinkoski Sophomore Reporter Esther Erickson Preshmau Reporter Virginia Shanley Faculty Adviser . Nellie M. Sayre THE ROUNDUP STANDS FOR 1. Better cooperation and understanding betv een students and faculty. 2. A more effective liarmony between the school and the com- munity. 3. The highest achievement in scholarship, sportsmanship, and school spirit. 4. Development of good citizenship through encouraging the best initiative efforts of every student. The Roundup is the weekly nev spaper of Glasgow High School and had its beginning in 1927-28. Before that time the school had no paper, so journalism is now taught to the juniors and seniors in order that they may put before the friends of the school the events and news of school life. Miss Sayre is the faculty adviser and it is .through her efforts that the Class of ' 28 started The Roundup. We, who followed in their footsteps, are mighty proud of our paper. While it is only a page in The Glasgow Courier, it is tlie voice of the student body, and it is there that our chief literary, poetic, and humorous out- bursts greet the public. In the years to follow may The Roundup carry on.
