English Salutatory. The issuing of a high school monthly is something new in this school. The Staff, members of the High School, being only human are apt to make mistakes and you must expect nothing else. If they were perfect they would be doing something far different from editing a High School Magazine. But, uul ke some people they are willing to be corrected and any criticisms, corrections or suggestions will be cheerfully received. The High School Magazine was not gotten up to bring a large amount of money into the treasury and it will even be hard work to play even. Therefore we need your support and co-operation in every way. It is an acknowledged fact that a High School Magazine is a benefit to the school. In the first place it gives the students excellent practice in composition such as they cannot get elsewhere. Second, it puts onr school on a par with other High Schools thruout the state. Thru our exchanges we know what other schools are doing and they learn what we are doing. The Magazines we exchange with will be ou the reading table at all times, thus giving the students a chance to learn much of the other schools, their ways of doing things and what they are accomplishing. We ask you one and all for your earnest support in this new endeavor and we hope the Magazine may be better and more interesting each succeeding month. E. F. T2. Board of Education. H. B.

The enrollment cards show that there are six more boys than girls in High School. On the first day of school the teachers of the grades and of the High School were presented with a beautiful boquet of flowers by Mr. Lees. The silver cup won by the Sophomores in the inter-class basket ball tournament will soon be placed in the assembly room. A prize of two dollars was offered for the best cover design and of one dollar for the best name. Jennie Lamb was awarded both prizes. The desk and chair given the High School by tbe class of ’ll is much appreciated and is certainly an ornament to the school room. The band under the leadership of Mr. Cundy is making rapid progress and expect to be in fine shape for Fair week. A number of track men have been running the last couple of weeks with the intention of developing their muscles, wind and endurance for Basket Ball. A debating club has been organized among the boys in High School. The following officers have been elected: John Voll, president; Spencer Hillman, vice president; Paul Walker, secretary; Thomas Lee, treasurer. A Literary and Dramatic Club has also been organized by the girls of the school. The following officers were elected: Florence Jacobi, pres- ident; Lucy Dillon, vice president; Luella Halverson,secretary and treasurer: Marie Ward, guard. A German Society has been formed composed of third and fourth year German students. The first meeting will be held October K. The following are the officers: Robert Kuenzli, president; Milford Langehough, vice president; Erwin Fisher, secretary; Florence Jacobi, treasurer; Milo Whipple, guard. The membership of the Athletic Association is increasing rapidly. It is hoped that all the students will join this year. Mr. Chas. White spoke to the High School Friday morning, September, 22. His talk was very interesting and he gave the high school students some very good advice which we hope will greatly benefit them. We also wish to thank him for his generous donation to the Athletic Association. Did you see our course of study on page 3? If not, look it over. Next month a list of the High School readings will be published. CLASS SPIRIT. How can we expect a school to excel in any line of athletics without “School Spirit?” This is the quality that sends athletic teams to success. It is the same as a large battleship in mid ocean without coal. It has the material but not the power: so it is with our teams. We have the material but cannot hope to excel in athletics without a big shoulder behind us pushing every moment with determination to win. That shoulder is “School Spirit.” I ask you to carefully weigh this important question and it is you who turn up your noses that I am writing this for. Do something to help this “Spirit” along. Join the Athletic Association, get out for the teams talk among the fellows and by all means put your shoulder to the wheel and push this ‘Spirit” along. We want competition in all lines of athletics and we cannot carry on these without co operation. The year is jus beginning and now is the proper time to get started. Take a deeper interest and show the other schools the stuff Mondovi is made of and what she can do. It’s up to you, each one, whether we have successful teams or not. Get busy fellows, think this over, and by all means act. An Interested Member. If youv’e tried and have not won, Never stop for crying; All that’s great and good is done .1 ust by patient trying.—Ex.

'•Honor's u Kaored tie,—the noble mind's dlstln-frulMhlnir perfect Ion. A keen sense of honor is.one of the chief assets of student life. The student who has a well developed sense of personal honor, is in the way of progress, and the school whose esprit de corps is characterized by the sense of honor is most fortunate. In olden times men resorted to the duel to vindicate their honor. It was called an “affair of honor.” When honor was involved, life itself was not too precious to risk in its defense. While we deprecate the old custom of duelling, we must, nevertheless, acknowledge the worth of the strong sense of personal honor that actuated them. 'I hey did not hold life cheap, but honor as above .price. “Life every man holds dear; but the dear man holds honor far more precious dear than life.” The world of student life has temptations peculiarly its own. To withstand these and keep free from stain, is an affair of honor. Surely a student need not wait until entering upon a punlic career to cherish noble ideals, and to act from the highest motives Indeed, school life presents occasions for the display of all the finer virtues; the exercise of all the highest powers. To come forth from student life with robe of ermine unsullied is an achievement of no little moment. What a power a high sense of personal honor may be in student life; a restraining, impelling force! Holding back from the unworthy, pushing forward to the worthy. It stands for the square deal. It condemns unsparingly all unfairness. It abhors the cheat. The student governed by this high ideal is responsive to every appeal to his honor. In one of tne colleges of the middle west was a pro fessor, well remembered and much loved by his students. He conducted his examinations on the honor system. He would write the questions on the board and then would retire from the room, if work called him eleswhere. He trusted his scholars. He appealed to their sense of honor. They responded. It was understood in that class that anyone who betrayed his confidence, was unworthy the respect of true men. A keen sense of personal honor holds th student to a high ideal of study. It demands that each lesson be well learned. To do one’s very best., and receive the highest possible mark is the end desired. What more eontemptiole heresy than that shown by the remark, “Idon’tcare, if I only pass.” David Grayson tells of a car-pemer whom he saw doing very careful work on an obscure part of a piece of furniture. To the remark that no one would know whether be did good work or poor work there, he significantly replied. “But I would know.” His sense of personal honor forbade poor work. He felt that he would forfeit self respect by doing it. The sense of honor also demands clean athletics. Where this rules the game must be played fairly. Nothing so tries the true athlete as an attempt to cheat. He would a thousand times lose the game than win by unfair means. In a naseball game between Yale and Princeton, the score was close and excitement ran high. A single run would decide the issue. Ramsdell makes a hit and sprints for first. The ball reaches Murray, the first, oaseman, seemingly at the same time as the runner. It is a close decision. The umpire calls, “Out.” The crowd cheers Murray for a spectacular play. But the runner claims he was not touched. The umpire looks at Murray. His face whitens as he says, “Mr. Umpire, it is true. I did not touch him.” In the desire to win at any cost some one might say, Murray’s a fool not to keep mum.” But what true man, after the heat of the conflict passed failed to pay tribute to the player who would rather be right than win. The game for him was an affair of honor. When the sense of honor permeates the school body, much pride is taken in mantaining a high standard of excellence. One does not live long in Mondovi before discovering the fact 5 that her citizens take pride in her schools. The aim is for the best in equipment, in teachers, in scholarship. When the students appreciate this fact, and what it means for them and the school, the work is bound to be successful. “For the honor of the school” is a motto full of inspiration. To keep Mondovi high school at the front in scholarship and athletics becomes the aim of each. To win high rank not merely for the sake of winning, but to be worthy of winning, is the ideal of honor. To an outsider who is deeply interested in the school, the indications point to a fruitful yea r. With confidence in the efficiency of our teaching force, with the manifest interest of the school constituency, with the launching of new enterprises, of which the “Mirror” is not least important, the outlook is most encouraging.
