A few years ago not many homeis had a radiog now almost every home has one. Through the radio we hear foreign languages spoken by people to whom they are native. We can listen'to music appreciation hours. VVe hear the great men of our country give their ideas on current events. We receive the latest news several times a day. VVe hear great singers and musicians whom we would miss because we could not afford to go to the theatre to listen to them. The men on ships at sea are able to keep in communication with the people on land through radio. Wliile Commander Byrd has been at the South Pole, he frequently heard programs from New York. At the present time radio experts are improving television so that per- haps in a few years more we will be able to see the radio artists as well as hear them. Do we not live in a wonderful age, and should we not be more satisfied with our good fortune than we are? I think so. ENID MORRISON, '30,

6 ' THE CA THERER VISITORS VVhy don't you come to visit us? XVe can't imagine what keeps you away. Vt-'e have pleasant schoolrooms, good seats, and plenty of entertainment ready for you. It can't be because you aren't interested in us. Every one of you, par- ents, alumni, and friends, would enjoy listening to our classes. Nevertheless. we have had only four visitors this year. You like to-have visitors at your homes. You like to show your friends some new piece of furniture, a choice dish, or to talk of the latest news, don't you? XVe would like to have an oppor- tunity to show you what we have acquired at high school. So, parents, alumni, and friends, we would like to have you visit us. Remember, McKinley High extends to you a hearty welcome. IIELEN IIIARSITALL, '30, SCHOOL SPIRIT I think that our school should show more cooperation in lessons and sports. Everyone should help to make the school life more interesting by forming clubs to make the daily routine vary from day to day, instead of having just the compulsory studies hour after hour, day after day. VVith these clubs we should have some interesting changes, some cooperation with each other after school. Everyone should be willing to do his part instead of let- ting just a few do all the work while he sits back and does all the watching, not caring what happens, not helping, not joining to make our school more interesting for everyone, not showing a bit of Srl1o0lSp-irit. Of course, we have no Deer Isle charity clubs, such as many larger schools have, but we could form among ourselves social clubs. I think the situation would be much better, and that our school days would be much happier, if we used more School Spirit instead of saying to ourselves, Oh! what do I care as long as I can manage to slip by and pass. il can't bother with any old clubsg I have enough to do as it is. HALGA SMALL, '31, SELF-RELIANCE ,,? .. .WI Vllhat is the meaning of the term self-reliance . It is given in e Jster's dictionary as trusting to one's own powers and judgments. In a school career self-reliance is a very essential factor. One must be able to depend or rely on himself at all times. If a person is self-reliant, he will not fear any question or subject demanding careful forethought on the part of the one answering .the question. .fIt does not pay to rely on another person for one's' work from day to day as some crisis, when the person is least expecting it, is sure to arise. The price you'll have to pay for it is hardly worth while. IZORA Joyce, '31.
