EDITORIAL Continued From Page 8 to your personal appearance? 12. Is your language always clean ? 13. Do you keep an expense ac- count ? 14. Do you keep a bank account? 15. Do you try to be prompt, de- pendable, accurate, courteous, and thoughtful ? 16. Do you make eight-five per cent in four regular studies? 17. Are you thinking seriously about your life work and how you will prepare for it? 18. Do you take part in some or- ganization for social betterment? The Scarlet and Gray has many things to be thankful for this year, and the thing that heads the list is the loyalty of the student body of N. H. S. The stories, poems and jokes contributed this time are fine. And thei'e’s an abudance of them. Of course every story can’t be used and the staff must pick out the best ones,, so if your story doesn’t happen to be in, don’t feel discouraged about it, but brace up and write us another—one that will be sure to go in. Profit by your past mistakes and keep on help- ing your paper. It can’t go on with- out your support; but if material comes in as readily in the future as it has in the past—our paper can’t help being a success.

S. team in the most deadly of all sports, i. e., a game of football. Wellston’s team proved to be con- siderably heavier than our eleven and as can be recalled by some of our sen- iors now, that in 1916, Nelsonville sent a football squad to Wellston much heavier than the 1919 team and in- cluding several former stars, Morgan, Johnson, Walters, Schuler, and the heavyweight, Dowr Jean. This Nel- sonville assembly was defeated by a score of 44-0. So you can see that a result of better coaching the 1919 team showed up much better against Wellston than the 1916 team. Much credit must be conceded to Mr. VoiTies of O. U. who has been coaching this year’s gridironers. He has developed from absolutely green material a team which is showing bet- ter and better form as the season pro- gresses and which will be n A-l con- dition to start off the season next year Jackson Game—44-0. On October 25, our team hit the trail for Jackson to play one of the best and heaviest elevens in this sec- tion of the state. Nelsonville was handicapped by the loss of some of her backfield men and forwards: Price, ineligibility; Patton, Wood, Zeller and Lutz, injuries. The boys put up a game well worthy of praise, but on account of their weight they were unable to score. They had the ball on Jackson’s five yard line several times and when a pass was muffed on Jackson’s three yard line with no Jackson player near- er enough to be dangerous, N. H. S. lost another chance to score. Logan Game On the eighth, Logan sent her team donw here and defeated N. H. S. by a score of 37-0. Logan High plays thru tackle were the chief gains. Logan also made several nice passes altho no touchdowns were made from passes completed. Shorty McDaniel made some pretty tackles, still the whole team tackled good, but sumpin’ was wrong, jus’ couldn’t stop Logan. Usher, an all- American tackle refereed this game and should be commended for the square deal he gave both sides. Random Notes The basketball squad is out for practice and any one desiring to prac- tice report at the “Y” at six o’clock every night unless practice is pre- viously announced to be cancelled. The class games will be played Continued on Page 15

The Scarlet and Gray 13 VISITORS’ WEEK Visitors’ Week brought many inter- ested parents and friends within the halls of N. H. S. The work was car- ried on in the usual manner and gave the visitors a clear insight of school life. Their interest was appreciated by the faculty and student body who extend a hearty invitation “To come again.” THESE MEETING The N. H. S. students burst into the auditorium with additional speed Fri- day afternoon as the faint sound of a drum had been heard. And such stirring music, it seemed impossible to calmly sit down and even the Sen- ior girls were not their dignified selves. But great was the sorrow at the sight of our wounded heroes and the mournful service conducted by Mr. Wood was heartbreaking. Mr. Nelson is an awe inspiring cheer leader, and the speeches made by our men left us highly elated. We are all more proud than ever of our team spirit and are backing them with our loyalty. “You do your best boys, We’ll do the rest bovs, For old N. H. S.” LECTURE COURSE The first number of the Lecture Course, Kryl Orchestral Sextette, was given Nov. 4. in the Auditorium. It was pronounced splendid by all pres- ent. The class of 1920 wish to extend their thanks for the liberal ssupport of the public. Next number. Nov. 24. Wm. Rainey Bennett, one of the greatest lecturers on American plat- form today.
