F. H. , WN I 5, BUSY if vm' li Do Your Best XVhen you undertake a thing' do it to the best of your ability, whether it be a duty or a pleasure. You may look upon your school work as a duty. or perhaps you are one of the few who study for the love of it. However you may interpret it, do your best. You are asked to sub- mit a certain piece of work at a Stated time. XVill that work be done and ready to hand in at the specified time or will it be in the processn? Are you going' to say. lt won't matter much if it isn't done well ? Ur are you going to put forth your best effort and get that work done and well done? Remember, anything' that is worth doing' at all is worth doing well . Your excuse may be that you are not as smart as the other fellow . The excuse is poor because that does not hinder you from doing' your best. You may have to give more time to it, think harder and study longer but you can do it just as well as the one whom you consider to be smarter',. Not only is this true in school life but it remains true after you have left the familiar old desk and the text S. PILOT 3 191-ials books, You will often be called upon to do some piece of work, and, how- ever small it may be, do it the very best you can. Give to the world the best you have and the best will come back to youf, G. Burns Courteousness Vvlhat is courteousness? Are you courteous? These are good questions to think about. To be courteous is to be kind, polite. and respectful to others. llow many of us are kind and respectful to our teachers and parents? Many times a day do we hurt them by using' sharp words which are alto- gether unnecessary and disrespectful. NN'hy not help our teachers by being courteous? A pleasant -word smoothes a rough path. The paths trodden by parents and teachers are often very rough. Surely we won't begrudge them a kind word that might help them on their way. I am sure that we do not enjoy having people rebuke us so why not do unto others as you would that they do unto you . 4 M. F. H. S. PILOT It is not hard to be courteous. It is easier to say something kind and in return receive a pleasant smile than to say something rude and thereby injure your own chances of friendship. Surely it will be worth while to try to be courteous. Then you will find that you will have more faithful friends. Don't antagonize your teachers! Remodel your character so that they will enjoy your presence. You will need friends laterg be courteous to your teachers and they will always befriend you. Courtesy pays. A teacher rebuked a pupil for his rude answer to a polite- ly asked question. After class his classmates were talking of the matter. They seemed glad that their disre- spectful classmate had been scolded. Another pupil in the class was always courteous. The teacher was often heard to say that it was a pleasure to teach such a well-bred person. This will help to show you how much you are hurting yourself when you act discourteously. If you will accept the words Be Courteous as your motto you will stand a good chance of winning many faithful friends. E. Bridgham Be Ashamed to Catch Yourself Idle Why study? is a question often de- bated by careless students of High School age. Many of these would-be- scholars have a strange system of ranking by which they judge their abilitiesg jones takes his books home, studies every evening and gets an average of ninety. I spend my even- ings having a good time and I get an average of seventy. So I'm really the smarter of the two, I wonder if these same students ever think of the world's ranking system. After they graduate from High School and go into business for themselves, will they be ranked by what they might have done? Will they gain success through the talents which they do not use? No. In the later school of ex- perience, they will find harsher judges, who give their decrees entirely on cir- cumstanial evidence. If these fun-loving pupils could only realize that what they call fun is only a thief who is robbing them of their right to success and happiness, they would surely be ashamed to catch themselves idle.

A VISIT TO A TOMB Being poverty-stricken, my friend and I decided to obtain money by some means fair or fowl. After due deliberation, Phacis, my friend, ex- claimed, VVhy, Garno, who not do a little grave robbing? It would stimu- late our low spirits. You know the clammy touch of a corpse is thrilling . It all sounded very gruesome but nevertheless we agreed to meet at Pine Grove Cemetery at twelve thirty the following night. The next evening I had fallen asleep in 1115' dilapidated armchair only to be aroused by a familiar voice crying, Garno! Garnol Come quickly! The moon is just rising and we have to be under cover soon . I sprang up instantly and we were on our way. On approaching the cemetery, we both became stricken with fear. My hands could scarcely hold the huge key which I had made to ht the lock to the tomb. XVC' sensed a moaning sound which proved to be only the gurgling of a nearby stream. Of course this was our first experience of this sort and we felt, oh! so queer. Pachis, being the bolder, snatched the key from my hand and unlocked the door. VVe entered. VVe were greeted by a musty odor and on lighting our lantern saw a venerable place lined on either side and in back with tiers and tiers of coffins of various colors and sizes. It was as silent as death except for a whispering sound that came from an enormous purple coffin. VVe ventured to look at the name plate but could not decipher it. Vtfe were gently lowering the coffin to the fioor when the cover broke in several pieces. The covering over the body crumpled to dust when I touched it and behold! I was looking upon the face of my brother. l fainted and on regaining conscious- ness found myself on the floor under my brother's bed. He was tugging at 1ny night-clothes trying to lift me back into my bed. You may be sure I was dazed for several minutes but finally I recol- lected that I had eaten ham and eggs, pickles, cream pie and black coffee for supper. I advise everybody to eat moder- ately before retiring. E. Norton M. IF. H. S. PILOT 15 A TEST OF COURAGE In two hours , Joan said, the races will begin and that means no more camp life until next season . That's right , I agreed, It's most over . VVe had finished our rest period in preparation for the races and were sitting on the bungalow steps. Here and there among the streaks of gold on the blue waters of the lake, canoes were idly drifting along. It's a warm day for dashes and swimming contests , mused Joan. I think Marion Marshall will win the quarter mile swim . You'll get the cup, Joan. Your speed has greatly improved in the last few days . Joan shook her head doubtfully. Marion is stronger than I. Never- theless, I shall do my best to win for the Blue Streaks. There were twenty-four girls at the Rainbow Lodge. They were divided into two groups of twelve, Blue Streaks and Red Flashes. Last year the Red Flashes had won many of the individual cups and the large cup offered to the group with the most points. During the practice periods this season the Blue Streaks were doing better work. i lf Ruth Bennett and I can win the half-mile run and the hundred yard dash, I have hopes for the Streaks , I commented. VVhile we were talking, Miss Ioyce, the swimming counselor, came out on the porch with a big glass pitcher in her hand. Will you and Joan please get me a pitcher of cool spring water ? she asked, Oh! -Ioan, she called as we started along, Will you take my whistle and call the girls to 1unch ? G1adly , replied Joan. just as I stooped to Fill the pitcher at the spring, a terrified voice came over the water. Help! Help ! it rang in pitiful tones. Without a moments delay I turned and ran to my boat which was hitched near the spring. The oars fairly flew and yet Joan was ahead of me when we reached the up- turned canoe of Marion Marshall. Blacky, the camp dog, was swimming vigorously around it and soon Marion's head appeared above the water. We managed to pull her into our boat. Blacky was struggling to climb into the canoe. I pulled him ashore with my com- panions who were too exhausted to talk. After we reached camp Marion ex- plained how she had thrown Blacky into the lake for a swim, how the canoe tipped over when she tried to help him into it, and how the sudden plunge and fright had given her cramps. I owe my life to you girls , she said, in tone of deep gratitude. Last night 1 boasted of my confidence to win the half-mile swim over Joan. In behalf of the Red Flashes, I announce that it has been unanimously voted to give the cup to the Blue Streaks and an individual cup to each of our hero- ines, with a postponement of the races until next season . M. Waldron 16 M. F. H. THE DESERT RAID Sand here, sand there, just sand for miles and miles , exclaimed Roger VVilson, as he rode along on his camel, under the burning rays of the desert sun. I should say sand, and it's surely a tough place to be lost inn, answered one of his companions, Gerald Lam- bert. Wilson, a young man of about twenty-five years, with two compan- ions, John Allen and Gerald Lambert, were looking for two lost aviators. The latter's plane had gone down on the desert and nothing had been heard from them since. It had been decided at the airport, by Lieut. Gray, that Wilson and his party should go on camels over the route that was sup- posed to have been taken by the avia- tors and look for the lost men. We must be at least half way across the desert by this time, aren't we E'nock? asked John of the Arabian guide. Yes sir, we're near mountains, that means wefre half way across , was E'nock's answer. By sunset that afternoon, an oasis was in view, and when they reached it, they found that some one had been there before them and had left re- cently. To this E'nocks decision Was, Arbui and his band been here, just left, we look out, he hate white man, want to kill . Although this made the Americans nervous, they managed to pass a rest- ful night under the sheltering palms, bordering the oasis. Before the sun was hardly up in the S. PILOT morning, the four men were again on their way. They rode peacefully until late in the afternoon, when a Warning cry from E'nock startled them, Arbui and his men, look! They come toward us, we run, get away, they kill white mans . Because they had not been noticed before, the hostile tribe gained on the Americans, who were not experienced riders. As the Arabs came near, they started to hre on the group, who tired back in rapid succession. Soon both parties were surprised by repeating firing near by, and the Arabs, fearing a large group were going to attack, rode away in great haste. A few minutes after the Arabs de- parture, theitwo mysterious shooters appeared, they were dressed in ragged aviators' clothes, and their faces were bearded, but they were soon recog- nized by Wilson and his men, as the lost aviators for whom they had been looking.

FISHING I I get up early in the morning First I don my clothes, Then I take my fish rod, And start off down the road. II I know a brook close by, Where the trout will bite. Especially in the morning, Or along toward the night. III I arrive at the brook at last, And put a worm on my hook. And standing on the old rock bridge, Throw into the brook. IV Then I feel a quick snap And I know that one has bit, I start to reel him slowly in, With my best care and wit. V At last I get the trout, And then I stop to kneel, And marvel at his beauty Before I put him in my creel. PILOT 17 A SLIGHT ACCIDENT For four long happy years Through worry and through stress Our good and faithful Bebe Has carried us to M. F. H. S. Nearly every morning All things went smooth and fine But on one winter day Our driver lost her line. Down across the railroad, A sharp turn just ahead, Around which we must go To reach our horse's shed. A steep bank on the right, A rough spot in the road, Made this turn perilous With such a heavy load. Bebe loved that stable, She made the turn too swift. The next thing that we knew We were sprawled out on the drift. The horse was up and gone Ere we got to our feet. The robe was on the snow The bags were in the street. 'The horse was unharnessed As was the usual rule VVe picked up what we had lost And went along to school. A few more accidents Trivial it is true Which we do not mind a bit Because we're almost through. Although she now is dead Her memory stays today, Her successor can not Make that fade away.

James Sheridan PILOT SPRING The spring has come again, alackl With aching arm and tired back, The sound of ball against the bat, And then again Wl1ose ball was that? NNhile someone knocks one to the trees, Amid a chorus of Oh gee's. A righty draws a 'tlefty's glove, And tells the fact to the skies above, Hroans at a badly fumbled catch, And tries :i long low Hy to snatch. The sound of spiked feet running free, You're out! the umpire's melody. One hears the yell, A foot too wide! And, Umpire, that was a mile inside! Again, Umpire, you were given an eye To watch the ball, not the bright blue sky. Another pitch comes whirling byg The inning: ends with an infield fly. And though the seasons come and go, l5asehall's the best sport still, you know, XfVe eouldn't do without the game, lt's fun to have your arm all lame, And what a yowl would quickly ring, lf Nature tailed to produce the spring.

Chase GLEE CLUB REPORT Our first glee club session com- menced with an unusually large en- rollment of 112, but was diminished to a more comfortable group of 70 after our first concert and social. This proved to be a great successg we cleared nearly 32000. At Christmas a Candle Light service was conducted. The club has also sung as a group at two church ser- vices. A supper under the direction of Mrs. Atherton with musicals, skits, dances, etc. netted us a goodly sum. n The glee club now plans to sing at the graduation exercises. Notable progress has been made by the club as a whole this year. We owe a great deal to our faithful leader, Mrs. Atherton. A.
