Thirty THE GOAL DIARY OF A FRESHMAN Sept. 6. I got up at six o'clock as school commences to-day. did my choresg partly washed my hands and face and started to school. What do you think-they gave me only four books! I shall have a snap for I'm sure I could get eight or ten subjects easy. One of the boys who called himself a Senior called me a greenie. What did he mean? Sept. 7. My lessons will be a snap to-day. There are some pretty girls in school but they are so stuck up they won't look at me. Sept. 8. I made a few purchases to-day. I went to the five and ten cent store and bought a pocket comb. a mirror, a cake of toilet soap, a bottle of perfume, and a box of face powder. Sept. 11. To-day is Saturday so I had to work all day. I don't know what is wrong with me. I just seem to think and can't sleep, eat or work. I heard Ma tell Neighbor Brown, I don't know what is wrong with our little VVillie, he seems so changed. Why he even washes his neck without me telling him. I'm afraid he won't live long! Sept. 12. I got up at seven o'clock and went to Sunday School. There was a pretty girl there who winked at me, but believe me I am not silly enough to wink back. After Sunday School I went home and ate a big dinner. Oct. 10. Didn't have my lessons very well to-clay. Teacher told me, You must have your lessons better after this or you will have to stay after school and get them. Latin is fierce. I wish the man who wrote it would have drowned before he wrote it. Oct. 20. I saw a girl in the sixth grade who is very beautiful. I wonder whether I could take her to the show Saturday night? Oct. 25. I went to town and then to the live and ten cent store and bought a book, How to Make Love to a Girlf, and a bottle of hair oil. Nov. 12. A Sophomore called me a Greenie and I hit him for it. Nov. 15. I asked jane to take her to the show Saturday night. She said, Yes, I sat up until twelve o'clock reading my new book. Nov. 17. Tonight as I wanted to start ear- ly I told Ma to have early supper. We went to the show and everybody stared at us. Dec. 18. Christmas is near and I must get something for jane, so I asked Ma for some money. Dec. 24. Santa Claus will come tonight. I must hang up my stocking. Dec. 25. VVhen I went to my stockings this morning they were full of pop-corn. I ate too much candy and got sick. Feb. 14. To-day is Valentine Day, I will get the mail. I received a Valentine from jane. It had a chicken on it. May 15. School is out and I am glad, not only for that but also because I am no Fresh- man any longer. -Heywood Cappel

THE GOAL I hirty-two MEDITATION I am sitting by my window in meditation, as the darkness of night melts into the dawn of another perfect day, content to occupy my mind in dreams as the activities of tl1e day have not yet begun. As I look out of my window, I behold tiny ribbons of light arising from the eastern horizon. These ribbons shed more light as they rise higher and become broader. Then I realize that this is a wonder- ful sunrise. My mind was wandering back to the clouds of yesterday, when I thought the world grey, now realizing it is gold. This sunrise is dif- ferent from the suiirises of the past. This is the beginning of a perfect day, in which we may linish our tasks of yesterday and in which we may be thankful for the gifts of life, and the opportunity of service. Then suddenly I thought of bright dreams, and fond hopes that are to be blotted out by trouble and misfortune. Again as I look out the window. I realize the insignificance of man and his works. The seasons come and go in their order, for the wisdom of man cannot control themg neither can the greatest scientist or the most learned philosophers change the course of any member of the solar system. At least I realize how wondrous are thy works, Oh, God! -Mary IXI. Keffer lllll THE MOTION PICTURES AT SCHOOL Gnadenhutten lligh School has tried a 116W plan to keep the young people at home in the evenings and to induce them to take a g1'e21'CSf interest in their studies. For this purpose we started having moving pictures on Saturday nights. Of course, at first there were some Wl1O did not fall in line with the idea, but to-day the greater portion of the town attend. VVhy? Because only the best shows are given and they are of the type which are absolutely clean and which no one need be afraid to see. Among some of the star attractions which have been shown are 'fThe Covered W3gO11,,, 'fAbraham Lincoln, and 'fThe Sea Hawk. iThese pictures are quite helpful in many ways. First-They are educationalg for the news reels keep the students in touch with the events and happenings of the world. This also tends to get the students to read the newspapers. Seconds-The characters build up the moral standards of the students. The shows given here are not of the shoot 'em upn variety. but are of the lovable type, which the students thoroly enjoy. Third-It helps the student physically, for when a person sees a good comedy it makes him laugh until it cures all his ills for months to come. Nothing will help drive the blues away like a good comedy. Fouth-It helps the students financially. The prices of movies given here are within reach of all Qtifteen centsj while at theaters in nearby towns prices range as high as fifty cents. It is a fact the students do not attend the shows in nearby towns as regularly as they formerly did. The students are saving money. The school wishes to thank the citizens who have been attending and hope they will continue their patronage. -John Paul Williains F I
