Q 'HoNoRABLE CITIZENS fp ' The Scholarship Society One of the goals that have been set before us by former pupils of McKinley for the purpose of encouraging us to improve ourselves and to reach our ideals, is the Scholarship Society. This was started in 1915. Mr. Cassell, Mr. Gaut, and Miss Pope helped to draw up the constitution and by-laws. VVhile the Scholarship Society has not really functioned as a society, awards are given for meeting various requirements. These awards are given at the close of each semester. Scholarship - Citizenship it T y A Scholarship-Citizenship pin is given each student receiving a grade of 1-E in all subjects, and a mark of 1 in all Citizenship qualities. During the last year so much emphasis has been placed on Citizenship that the Scholarship committee decided to give a separate pin for Citizenship. All students who receive a mark of 1 in all subjects, and an average of 1 in all Citizenship qualities receive a Citizenship-Scholarship pin. The Scholarship-Citizenship pin given to the B7, A7, and B8 is a silver pin, while the pin given to the AS, B9, and A9 is a gold one. Engraved on each pin is the grade of the student to whom it is awarded. The A9 pin is somewhat dis- tinguished from the rest by an added circle of purple enamel. A Scholarship fund has been provided, and a Scholarship committee, con- sisting of one teacher representative from each grade. Special cases are decided by this committee. Last semester three students received Scholarship-Citizenship pins, twenty-

I believe in the beautiful: in cleanliness: in well-kept dress and surroundings. I believe it my duty to help keep all property I use in good condition and in good order. I believe in the old saying, VVork while you work and play while you play. When it is time for play, I believe in laying aside all thought of work, and entering into the game joyously and wholeheartedly: striving to win, but always playing fair. I believe in initiative: in thinking and working for progress for others as well as myself. At the same time. I believe in respecting older and wiser people, and courteously considering their opinions and judgment. I believe in searching for the truth. I believe in law and order: obedience and respect for those in authority in the home, school, community, and nation, I believe in reverence for God and co-operation with my fellowtnen. sincerely and earnestly trying to do my part of world-betterment.

SelffGracling Everyone has heard the saying that before we can control others we must first learn to control ourselves, and it is with something like this in mind that we try to grade ourselves with the self-grading scales that are given us. ls every student of McKinley capable of grading himself? Is every person in this world capable of honesty? These questions are synonymous and equally absurd. Not every one is capable of being honestg hence it would be impossible for us to expect every student of our school to be able to grade himself. But self- grading is an ideal. In our small way we can become nearer to our ideal of per' fection by encouraging self-grading in our minor examinations. We can learn to grade our every action, our every thought, and in the end form a character which will be capable of the kind of self-control which will help us to show the way to others.-E.rtl1c'r Land, A9. Real Jobs in Civic Life Besides the regular oflicers in class room and recitations, there are many pupils who perform duties for the good of the school. Vtlhenever any teacher wants books from the supply room. there are always willing boys to bring them. Wlhen- ever there is furniture to be moved, Mr. VVilson has only to make the need known. and hundreds of boys would volunteer to break their necks if necessary to get it done. Every day boys guard the bicycles and automobiles from theft and harm. Whenever we have an entertainment, boys not only sell tickets, but what is harder, they count the dimes and nickels which come in piles and boxfuls. And at every period during the day, pupils collect the slips which show what pupils are absent from classes, and take them to the attendance olliee. This is a tedious job, and one that requires strict attention to business. You may be sure that anyone who has been appointed regularly to any of these duties, has reached the point of efficient citizenship.-The Staff.
