The Blue and White opened the football season Friday, September 18th, with Jones Academy. The game was typical of an early season game as it was exceptionally slow, a condi- tion partially caused by the extreme- ly warm weather. The only thrill of the game came late in the fourth quarter when Cor- nelius, husky full-back, broke through and ran eighty yards for score. Woods, half-back, runs from ten to twenty shows promise of develop- the center the final reeled of yards and ing into an exceptional back field man. The team played poorly on the de- fensive, but that was caused by their incxperience. In the line all the men showed promise of development be- cause they have that necessary quality of fight. After the half ended the score was 7 to 6 in favor of Jones, and the locals came back determined to win, with the result that the for- ward line of Jones was completely rushed off its feet. Aldridge shows promise of develop- ing into an exceptional high school center. His handling of the ball would do credit to a veteran and his defensive charge is all that could be desired. Morgan and Rush, the two Freshmen from Gowen, pleased the coach with their vicious tackling and lic predicts a bright future for tlzem. For Jones the entire leackfield staried. The Indians seemed to be in exceptional condition for so cally in the season and their running of the cnds would do credit to any high scliool. The oppnoents of Coach Lam- bert would do well to get to bed early and cut the dissipation to the mini- mum because he will have a team hard to defeat before the curtair falls on the present season. AT,H,..,-,, L SECOND GAME-FIRST CONFER- ENCE GAME. Stigler 41, Hartshorne 6. Stigler ran true to form. That gridiron aggregation sustained the reputation it established last year for being the greatest scoring football machine in Oklahoma. They out- weighed us 15 pounds to the man, and that coupled with their experience put them out of our class for the opening COACH ALVA CSNAGJ SHEPHERD. game, They played straight football -line plunges and short end runs. There were no spectacular plays, no sensational stunts -just plain old football. Their attempts at passing miscarried, and their fakes failed to connect. True, they profited by our misplays, which due to lack of ex- perience were many, four of the six touchdowns they scored came to them by this route, and we are not com- plaining. They defeated us fairly and according to the rules of the game. It was a heart-breaking affair for us, but Coach Shag Shepard's fledglings showed the true lighting spirit, and demonstrated that their three weeks' training had been of the highest type of football strategy. A little more gruelling practice, and a little more experience in the technique of the sport, and the history of their first Conference Game would have been written in a different language. The first quarter of this game was a draw, neither side scoring. Stigler marched down the field after the kick- off while our boys were getting their bearings until they were within the shadow of our goal, but there, due to off-side penalties, they lost the ball. Our first play was a fizzle, due to the nervousness of the teamg but in the second play our plucky little quarter, Walter Woods, circled the invaders' right end for a gain of thirty-six yards, the longest run of the game. The quarter ended, 0 to 0. The second quarter was a tragedy. Stigler scored three touchdowns-one by straight football, one on a blocked punt, and the other on a Hartshorne fumble. Score, Stigler 213 Harts- horne 0. The third quarter Stigler opened with their cleverest style of offensive playing scoring their second earned touchdown. Then our boys opened with an aerial attack that for the time swept the invaders off their feet, and before they could organize to break it up, Walter Woods on the re- ceiving end took the ball 35 yards for our oply score. Stigler 28, Harts- hornef-6. The fourth quarter netted Stigler two more touchdowns, one of which was on an intercepted pass within ten yards of our goal. Final score, Stigler 41, Hartshorne 6. Clyde Cornelius, Hartshorne full- back, played a masterful defensive game, and was a consistent ground gainer through the Stigler line. Faude Aldridge at center played like a veteran, never failing in any crisis of the game. Rush, Sikora, Henry and Ross at tackle showed up well, Betson and Pearce at end, and Yakubish and Lawrence in the back- field gave evidence of superior ability in their respective positions. Pogue, veteran quarterback, was the only' outstanding player on the Stigler team. Wadsley at fullback played a good game but did not star. What Mr. Shepard needs most is the enthusiastic support of the school and the citizens of this town. He says and the citizens og this town. 1.1.4111- Marshall Grant thinks that he would be a success in the Movies be- cause he has a film on his teeth.

THE HART'S HORN WHAT ABOUT THE SAXOPHONE? A Publisher Asks the Question. C. C. Birchard, Boston, Mass. It seems to be a moot point in the orchestral question for schools as to whether the saxophone should be provided for as an essential instru- ment, or only as a cued in instrument. I shall state briefly some reasons for viewing the saxopphone as an essen- tial instrument. In discussing the question it is necessary to state .in general the aims in teaching the 1n- struments, and the ensemble playing of instruments by the young people. Doubtless the aim most held is the cultural one, that our boys and girls be brought to an early appreciation of good music. fLearn to play and to love good musiclj The other aim is of music as a means of self ex- pression. This last, to my mind, is the true aim-to use music as an ex- ercise for the growth of the entire boy and the entire girl, for character development through pleasurable, spontaneous activity, an exercise, to the fullest extent possible, of the physical, mental and spiritual facul- ties. Innocent activity entered into with abandon and forgetfulness of self becomes a real safeguard in all the issues of life. When the boy and girl exercise in their games, they are more than out of mischief, they are forming the habit of good behavior. That form and exercise of music which engages enthusiasm is the one in which music should most persistently be presented to the young. Now, I hear you ask, what applica- tion has the above to the subject of the saxophone? The saxophone is the instrument which probably most attracts the young, therefore, why shall we not use it out and out? In many quarters the saxophone is still a discredited instrument. But not in all. The professional musician is coming around slowly to consider the saxophone as an instrument of im- portance in the modern orchestra. It isn't so long ago that Paul White- man, of Jazz fame, was pretty com- pletely discredited in high-brow musi- cal circles. Not so now. There are composers of the first rank preparing manuscripts in the hope of acceptance by Mr, Whiteman. At least two Bos- ton composers of note have submitted compositions to Mr. Whiteman. Leo Sowerby of Chicago is reported to have been in Milwaukee with White- man who is playing the latest com- position by this brilliant composer. We are told that only recently Mr. Stock of Chicago has played an im- portant new work using saxophones. Mr. Mengelberg of New York City has quite recently conducted a con- certo for violins and orchestra by Samuel Gardner in which saxophones were used. Mr. Ganz of St. Louis is, we are told, giving attention to the fContinued on Page Eight.J PAGE FIVE y 1 , Ni ...iff f' sl 'wad' - V55 . Q, .

The nucleus of student life in high school this year is the co-operative association, This organization will function through the agency of a student council and a faculty advisor. Four members of each class, two boys and two girls, are nominated by the faculty. Each class elects two of these nominees, one boy and one girl. The senior class has the privilege of nominating two of its members from which one is elected by the entire student body as the member at large. The faculty advisor is elected by the faculty. This organization is to help solve many of the problems that arise dur- ing the school year, to develop a dem- ocratic spirit among the students, to train in citizenship, and to promote unity in the school. The following students have been chosen to repre- sent their respective classes during the first semester: Allie Brashears, Roy Long, seniorsg Regina Rothbaum, Tom Whiting, juniors, Janette David- son, Philip Marco, sophomores, Vera Katigan, Aubry Thompson, freshmen, Chester Mitchell, senior member at large, Miss Pardone, faculty advisor to the student council. A constitution for this new organi- aation is being prepared, which will outline the program of activities to be sponsored by the student associa- tion. .L..HH?x.. HEY! LET ME TELL YOU!

The first meeting of the High School Orchestra was held Monday, September 28th. Approximately twenty-five members reported for practice. The orchestra is under the direction of Wyatt C. Freeman, Su- pervisor of Music. From all indications the orchestra of this year is to be the best in the history of the Hartshorne High School. Several new and exceptional instruments are to be introduced this year such as, the oboe and bassoon. The latter was purchased by the school this year and a number of the boys are taking lessons preparatory to a try-out for a perma- nent player. We feel that the addi- tion of this beauty instrument will add materially to the quality of our performances as well as to the ap- pearance of our orchestra. The members are beginning prac- tice with enthusiasm and the expecta- tion of winning the cup at Durant again this spring.

We are delighted to print in our school paper the literary productions of our aspiring young authors: FIRE PREVENTION. By Ruth White . Every school should have a fire drill. When the gong strikes every child should jump into line. Coats and hats and books are left behind. Children start from three floors at once in a big city school, going down four at a time, down wide shallow stairways. By the time those on the second floor are down to the first, the little tots are out of doors. A big building of twenty-four rooms and nearly twelve hundred students on three floors can be emp- tied in one and one-half minutes. It would take a racing fire to beat that. Would it not? The school should always have a fire drill, because some day there really might be a fire and then the children wouldn't know how to get out quickly and safely. Frightened children, and even grown people run and scream and stumble. They knock other people down and fall over them. New buildings for schools and for public use should be made fireproof. Every father and mother should know if a child goes to school in a safe building. The doors should be open outward with a push and should never be locked in school hours. The stairs should be wide and shallow and treads should be laid on iron or ce- ment,- If a school house is two stories high there should be iron fire escapes from halls, marked in big letters and with a red light that can be seen through smoke. The basement floor should be of cement, and there should be no rubbish closets for the janitor under stairways. Hot ashes should never be near wood. Chimneys should be examined and cleaned every year. The furnace should be in a separate building, if possible. . 51 : 4' 3 , 7 We bl A .- The United States has the best fire fighting department in the world. We have the best trained and most daring firemen. Foreign countries send men to our cities to see our fire companies put out fires. Isn't it strange then that more lives and more property are lost by fires in our country than in England, Germany or France? Most of our fires are caused by carelessness. Some of the don'ts to remember are: Never drop a match. Even if it is unlighted some- one may step on it and set it afire. Keep matches in covered metal or chinaboxes away from children and mice. Mice bite match heads and oft- en set whole boxes on fire. Be care- ful of fire crackers. They often ex- plode in rubbish, under wooden steps and ladies' dresses. Don't build a bonfire or play around one unless some grown person is watching. Don't leave little children alone in a house or room with a fire or lighted lamp. If you build a camp fire anywhere be sure it is out, not a hot coal left in the ashes, before you leave it. Forest and prairie fires that have swept away towns have been started that way. Don't allow loose rubbish in baseemnts ad closets. Don't use gasoline, kerosene, naptha, benzine alcohol or turpentine in a room with a fire or keep those things stored in the house. Don't try to start a fire with one of those things or fill a stove, tank, or lamp while it is burning. There are easier ways to die than by oil explosions. Use a deep kettle, only partly full of boiling fat, for frying doughnuts. Don't force your furnace in cold weather. Over-heated chimneys cause fire. Test your gas pipes and burn- ers often and don't look for a gas leak with a lighted match. If you can't fin-d it with your nose send for a plumber. Don't put candles on a Christmas tree. Don't set flowers on or air bed clothes on a fire escape. It is dangerous and also against the law. As I have completed my don'ts I will now tell a few do's. When you move into a neighborhood find out the nearest fire alarm box. It will be painted red and have a red light above it at night. Ask a police- man how to send in an alarm. If you have a telephone put down the num- ber of the nearest engine house and police station, so you can call for help if you can't get out of a burning house. See if your school is safe. If not, refuse to send your child to school in a fire trap and arouse public feeling, so that your school may be made safe. FIRE PREVENTION. By Thelma Meredith. Sincethe time the first two sticks were rubbed together in ancient times, starting the first'blaze, fire prevention methods have had their place in the PAGE SEVEN activities of every human being on the globe. On ancient times fires were care- fully guarded because a prairie fire or a forest fire would devastate the haunts of wild game thereby curtail- ing the meat supply and in all proba- bility necessitating a long, cumber- some move for the whole tribe. Modern improvements and modes of living have increased immeasura- bly the fire hazard and consequently call for many and various methods for prevention. Where the ancient peo- ple had only to control an open fire on the prairie or near a hole in the side of a cliff the modern people have to control everything from the short circuit in the electric wire to the trash fire in the back yard, from the tiny spark which would cause a gas explosion in a mine to the spontan- eous combustion in a grain supply warehouse. Effective fire prevention is based upon carefulness, saneness, and a knowledge of the work in hand. Those responsible for the erection of a school building should look to the con- struction of the building from a fire prevention angle. Owners of a modern factory build with a view to ventilation, light, and architecture which will admit of easy cleaning that inflammable material may never collect in an unguarded spot. Rubbish should be cleared away from every corner and grease that has splashed on machinery and floors should be carefully scrubbed. In the scheme of fire prevention father, mother, and all the children have a place. Each has a place equal- ly important in his sphereg father, away at his own work, has his own troubles, mother, at home with her multitudinous duties, cannot have di- rect control of Jack, Bill, and Sarah as they race from place to place in their play. It has become second nature with father to observe and carry out the rules of fire prevention in vogue at his work. Mother is very careful that the gas range isn't turned too high, the trash fire in the back yard is not left unattended or that a light- ed match is not thrown where it may cause damage. The little ones are the ones who should be especially coached in fire prevention. Some don'ts that apply especially to children: 1. Don't carry or play wtih matches. 2. Don't touch a gas, kerosene, or gasoline stove. 3. Don't carry coals from an open fire except under the direction of an elder. 4. Don't, except with the permission of an elder and then with the greatest attempt to light or carry lamp. precaution, a kerosene 5. Don't light or play about an open fire. Weeds should be cut and raked, with all other trash, away from out-
