THE HIGH SCHOOL MIRROR The school as a whole responded well to the Liberty Loan and War Savings Stamp drive. Talks were given at the high school by some of the leading men of the town on Liberty Loan. War Savings Stamps. Y. M. C. A. and Red Cross campaigns, and much enthusiasm was aroused. A Thrift Stamp and Liberty Loan organization was perfected by Mr. Dodge, which met with success. In part it consisted of the buying of Stamps and Liberty Bonds by the students. Shortly after Christmas, a Sheep Raising Club was organized under the direction of Mr. James Dillon, who is recognized over the entire state as a leader in this work. About forty of the students took two or more sheep to take care of during the summer. The sheep were purchased at $20 a head with time payment; that is the sheep need not be paid for until Spring at shearing time, when the wool must go as part payment for the sheep. Mr. Dillon with the aid of Mr. Dodge has also the farm work of this community in charge for the coming summer. Boys’ and Girls’ Farming Clubs have been organized, and a tract of land has been procured for this work so that each child may have ample opportunity as a wage earner to take care ofa certain section of this plot. It is hoped that much profitable work can be done along this line, as there is great need for the products. To further the interest of the school, along the line of farming, the boys have been given their year’s credit.with the proviso that they begin to work April 21. and work five months of the summer. This was urged very enthusiastically by such men as Mr. Houser, Mr. Gilman and Mr. Dillon. They bolieved that the school was justified in giving these boys their year's credit as it will not only help win the war, but have its educational advantages. As a general rule, a great majority of the high school boys know very little about farming and by giving them their credits they are encouraged along this line. In the first place, this is beneficial because in the next few years much work will be expected of these young people. Thus encouraged, they will not have to be drafted for farm labor, as will the more or less shiftless class of men. As a whole, we are proud of our school, for what it is doing and we hope that in years to come it may continue to be a shining light of loyalty not only to the community but to the nation. FINAL WORD Finally, the success of a paper depends on the spirit of co-operation it receives from the school and the public. To those, whose untiring industry and interest have helped to make this year's Mirror’’ a success, we extend our hearty thanks. To our advertisers whose financial aid is greatly appreciated, we express our gratitude.

THE HIGH SCHOOL MIRROR EDITORIALS The Mondovi High School Has for the past six years published a year book, which has proved a great success, and has brought us in touch with many of the leading schools, not only at home but abroad. It serves as the foundation of the official representation of the entire school. The underlying principle of this high school publication is to give a record of events of the school and to stimulate a greater school spirit. Through the High School Mirror” is reflected the work of the school in its different branches. It serves as a goal toward which the under classmen strive and with better success every year, 'thereby improving the respective departments and publishing a book that is worthy of the school. Mondovi High School has her department organizations, which offer unlimited opportunities for those who avail themselves of them, but were it not for the outside activities, such as athletics, public speaking, and stock-judging, although they are not directly confined to the classroom, the school spirit would be dead. Through these outside tetivities, the efficiency of a school, is judged. Besides the educational benefits one receives from these literary and athletic organizations, it creates a spirit to win, r nd opens a broader field to the beginner in high school. Through these high school organizations, Mondovi has been able to compete for honors among the high schools of the state, thus enthusing the spirit of the public and winning support for the school. Thus you will see that it is proper for the high school to publish a Mirror” that will accurately reflect the work of the school. It represents all the school activities; it deals with every department organization, thus connecting the public with the work of the school. The “Mirror” not only connects the interests of the achool with those of the public, but it serves as a school advertiser. In looking through our exchange department, we find that the Mondovi High School Mirror” ranks among the best of school papers on the exchange list. This, that justly comes in from all parts of the country, is by no means self-praise and speaks well for our publications. OI K HIGH SCHOOL AM) THE WAR Today the world is facing problems that have never before been confronted by man. For nearly four years Europe has been drenched in blood and today she staggers in a loathsome scene of death and devastation Youth in the glory of its gallantry, in the splendor of its promise, has been fed to the furnace of war. The effects of this war have been brought home to our own doors, by the United Stales entering the war. To the call of our country, our young men have responded; a wonderful spirit never before breathed by any nation in the history of the world has been evoked. This same spirit has grasped the Mondovi High School, a new light has dawned upon it. It is doing everything possible to help win this world-war, and to pave the way to Democracy of a free people. Soon after the Unued States declared war on Germany, the High School’s loyalty was shown by the students who enlisted, that their country might benefit by 'their services. A number of our graduates enlisted in the early part of the war, and now hold responsible positions in the army, navy and training camps. But the loyalty of a people is not altogether tested by their enlistment into regular service, it is also shown in the interest and willingness to take hold and help support those who are in the service. It is a time when all people should be united and work together without selfish ends. When school re-opened last fall, a War Relief Society was organized, which has proved itself one of the best and largest organizations of the school. It was under the supervision of Miss Smith and much work has been accomplished. In the early part of the war a French War Orphan was adopted and was taken care of entirely by the society. Later, a knitting society was organized. in which great enthusiasm was shown by boys as well as girls. In all, about $200 passed through the War Relief and Red Cross Auxiliary.
