These per iocs have become really interer.tinr . The subjects for discussion have teen current afiairs in wiich t:.ere xo _ ew„ « Jntcvest. Several times have had visitors and once even a guest sneaker adorned the plat-orm. The obiect is to create the habit of speaking intellegently end fearlessly before an audience, he have a regular fora of practice Kith chairaan talcing charge and two speakers at a time fitting before the class so that the program runs cuite smoothly. Each speaker talks three minutes mostly on his general knowledge of the subject. It so happens that several of us are able to say much in very few words so that all the time is not occupied. Ethel Smith and hilliam Fickes I night say are the outstanding members of the Junior Class.

Fewport Union School was greeted by a wonderful surprise on February eighth in assembly perion. John Sanderson, as a representative, oi tnc class of ’31 presented to our school a much needed accessory, ec 2. -• A. radio, hr. Sanderson made a few stipulated re uirements which will not be hard to obey so gla.d are we to have a radio as our very own. Another eoually pleasant surprise was a gift of twenty collars to the TTigh School by the class of ’31 for the -urnose of creating interest in Public Sneaking end Dramatic Art. This is indeed a snlendid gi't to Fewport hi h. In the Future you will see yeoule flocking from miles around to see the dramatic presentations of Fewport High. The whole school wishes to thank the Class of 1531 for its ;reat consideration of its Alma Hater. e hope that the future graduating classes may take this as an example for valucble and worthy expenditure of their money. Hands Off? The Moratorium revolt of Spanish Monarchy, George Bernard Chaw's visit to Red Russia, the introduction of Racism into Germany by Hitiei Great Britain off the field standard, and Ghandi at the Rcund Table Conference all bring to mind the happenings in the Year 1931. They also shew the vital part that foreign relations play in American Democracy. Should we use a hands off policy where alien matters are concerned? The Father of Our Country gave as a parting bit of advice on leaving office that the United States should keep out of foreign affairs. In Jefferson’s admjnistration this advice was forsaken and ever since we have disregarded it. Not because we thought it was poor advice but because the United States became so closely allied with foreign powers that by nonintervention we were not protecting our own rights. We entered the World War not to be meddlesome but to show ourselves humanitarian. In the China-Japhan aggressiveness in Manchuria we have taken a like stand that of humanity to protect the unprotected and our citizens in foreign waters. Should wo intervene in foreign relations? Or should we denote our energies to internal affairs only and adopt a closed door policy. The interdependence of the powers today show that we must intorfer. The moratorium of one year and the naval operations in Chinese waters by our government shew we must intervene but with two ideas foremost. Humanity and Arbitration. 3. M. 32 The White Flash of Winter Sports The most exciting of all modern sports, skiing, had its day from February 4th to 13-ch when the Winter 'Olympic Gamas were held at Lake Placid. Leaps of more than 200fect in the Intervales hill were the scenes of tho Jumping, Picture a huge runway, white and glistening 200 foet to the bottom and a skiier poised like an eagle flying past the judges stand in their best form at fifty to sixty miles an hour, this is the dynamic sport of the Vikings. Vikings? the ward of the Winter Olympics to this country for tho first time shows that America has reached its majority in winter sport Imagine America's embarrassment when she almost didn't have snow for the gamesi Skating, fancy and otherwise, also had its day. Among the American skaters wore Eddie Murphy, Jack Shea, and Ircing Jaffcr, Tho latter winner of 5000mctor event, who learned his shating two flights up on 52nd and Broadway, showed the Scandinanians that Lief the Lucky left some of his Vikings in dear old U,S� A. Hockey held its own in tho Olympics as being the fastest sport with a group of players. The U„S, hockey team showed plenty ef action when it defeated Poland 4 to 1 and lost to Canada in an overtime match 2 to 1. So come on everybody and cheer tho United States on to victory in tho Olympics held at Los Angles this summer. Although these games originated from the ancient Greek Olympics no laurel-crowned Gro'-k ever threw a discus as far as Bud Hauser, California college boy who threw the aiscis 156 feet and 5 and one-fourth inches. The Greek athletic wore made immortal in marble and tho same go:-for our athletis toda - they also are carved in marfcLe sc that people centuries ahead will know what wc did m atk-eti.s. .

By Vachei Kindsay. TEE S3 TAT K YJSCIPATOR 'flith all our celebrating of the 200th anniversary of Washington's birth vie must not forget to do horoe to one other great national fi ure Abraham Lincoln. Because L’..--coln was such a great man we, as American citizens, should emulate his life. Perhaps the most important thing that every man, woman, and child, here at the outset of 1932, can learn from the life of Abraham Lincoln is given in Dr. William 3 rtons words: That the way we begin the year is not nearly so important as the way we continue it, and the way we end it. Let us pause for a moment and consider how Abraham Lincoln began the year 18 3. The autumn months of 1862 marked his darkest hours. Or. Sept. 17, 18o2 the bitter and bloody battle of Antictam v as fought. The following week Lincoln composed the Proclamation of Emancipation. When the public heard of this a financial panic ensued. In November came the state elections. Now Y.rk, Pennsylvania, N. J., Ohio, Indiana and even his own state Illionois went against him. Ho President ever stood lower in popular favor than did Lincoln in ITov. 18t2. Congress relused to support him. In the midst of Con.'ress wrangling came the awful defeat at Fredericksburg. Lincoln had said that he would sign the proclamation on Jan. 1, 1863 if the rebellion had not been brought to a close. The gloom deepened. The year of 1862 v ent out in aar.zness. On New Years day, during the afternoon Lincoln stood and shook hands with a large crowd of people who v ished him the Happy Hew Year which they felt he would not have. VJhen darkness fell shutting out the cold, rainy day and after all the visitors had g°ne L'ncoln sat down at his desk and prepared to keep his promise. lie bad to rub his hand, which was s? ollen from so much handshaking, before he could hold a pen. T .en slowly and deliberately he affixed his si nature to the Proclamation of Emancipation. Before the end of the year Li coin was complete master of the nation's destinies. The Union was saved in that year which started so discouragingly but whic- v_s the greatest year in Lincoln's life. This is Lincolns 1932 message to American citizens: The way we begin the year is not nearly so important as the way we continue it, and the way we end it. Glenn Trout.

'•f «■' i iuj oiLur, Ai'ijj inu TO JOHN D. JOHNSTON Abraham Lincoln Dear Johnston: Your request for eighty dollars I do not think it best to comply with now. At the various times when I have helped you a little you have said to rae, '7e can get along very well now , but in a very short time I flind you in the some difficulty again. Now, this can only happen by some defect in your conduct. ',7hat that defect is, I think I know. You are not lazy, and still you are an idler. I doubt vvhther , since I saw you, you have done a good whole day's work in any one day. You do not very much dislike to work, and still you do not work much, merely because it does not seem to you that you could get much for it. This habit of uselessly wasting time is the whole difficulty; it is vastly time is important to you, and still more so to your children, th t you should break the habit. It is more important to them, because they have longer to live, and can keep out of an idle habit before they are in it, easier than they can get out after they are in. You are now in need of some money; and what I propose is that you shall go to work, tooth and nail, for somebody who will give you raonev for it. Let father and your boys take charge of your things at Home, prepare fox- a crop, and make a crop, and discharge of any debt you owe, that you can get; and, to secure you a fair reward for your labor, I now promise you that for every dollar you will, between this a and the first fo May, get for your own labor, either in money or as your own indebtedness, I will give then to you one dollar. By this, if you hire yourself at ten dollars a month, from me you will get ten more, making twenty dollars a month for your work. In this I do not mean that you shall go off to St. Louis, or the lead mines, or the gold mines in California, but I mean for you to go at it for the best wages you can get close to home in Coles County. Now, if you will dot this, you will be soon out of debt, and, what is better, you will have a habit that will keep you from getting in debt again. But, if I should now clear you out of debt, next year you would be just as deep as ever. You say you would be just in giving your place in heaven for seventy or eighty dollars. Then you value your place in heaven very cheap, for I am sure you can, with the offer I make, get the seventy or eighty dollars for four or five month's work. You say if I will furnish you the money you will deed me the land, and if you don't pay the money back you will deliver possession. Nonsense 1 If you can't live now with the land, how will you then live without it? You have always been very kind to me, and I do not mean to be unkind to you. On the contrary, if you will but follow my advice, you will find it worth more than eighty times eighty dollars to you. Affectionately your brother, A. Lincoln TALTAVION CF T Listen to the exortation of the dawn. Look -o this day 1 For it is life, The very life of life. In its brief course lie all the verities And realities of your existence; The bliss of growth, The glory of action, IE DAT' The splendor of beauty. For yesterday is a dream And tomorrow is only a vision. But to-day well lived Makes every yesterday a dream of happiness And every to-raorrow a vision of hope. Look well, therefore, to this i .. ' V J'- - . '' 7 . . 1 : ‘ . . ; ? . . • i . t « ThE BUJE AMD- ar-UTS George Washington: The boy Vuo Made The Man In order to appreciate the intensely human quality. the straggle against adverse conditions which M made this ’First American, one needs a glimpse of Lthe boy and his environment tv;o centuries age. Gear ,e Washington was born February 22. 1732 in snail cottage which stood a few miles up the Potomac at Bridges Creelc. At this time the Atlantic seaboard was practically a vast stretch of virgin forests through which Indians roved. It was an age of pioneers when plain people like . ashingtons had to shift for themselves and children had to ork hard. As for schooling, George, being the eldest son of Augustine ' sain .ton. had only that education which ( Virginia could afford, although his father, when not some sea faring adventure, sent his first wife’s two sons for their education. Even as a boy George ashington enjoyed an enviable reputation for bravery, a strong physique and an ability to tamo unruly aorses. Besided he is pictured as being unusually studious. While other children rare engaged in some game at recess or playtime, he was behind tho door ciphering. When he was eleven years old his father died leaving the bulk of his estate to Lawrence and Augustine, Georges’ half-brothers. To George fell the responsibility of his mother and her snail income. Everything depended on his own efforts. At sixteen his school days were over. His lilting fer mathematics had turned T 'ashin gton’s practical mind to the study oi surveyin'-. i.3 a surveyor he could make sufficient money to fulfil his duty toward his mother an:’, those dopondont on her. So at the a.;e of sixteen Washington became a surveyor. Already his outward appearance had much of the impressiveness which distinguished him in later years when he steed heed and shoulders above hi3 fellows, with a fine breadth of chest, a face nobly moulded, 1-r.go p?oy eyes shcwin_, power to command as well as to c-wakon tho admiration ar.d affection of these around him. Soon Washington was appointed public surveyor, a position he held for throe years. This boy was to be a man of the people, whose touch has been with them sinco tho day ho saw the light first in the old Dominion of Virginia. —Ruth Spangler NEEDED, for every student in all extra curricular activities, a purpose, doepsoutod and compelling. There is a lot te to said for having praise and godd - ords for opponents in a contest. Cas sar used .11 his superlatives in speaking of his onemior. Then '■’hen he had defeated them his own worth si. power went without saving. k • � . 6 THE INFLUENCE OF WASHINGTON'S MOTHER Then George Washington was a little lad of eleven years, he was bereft of his father, and fro.a that time his care and training as in the hands of his mother. It is certain that she made an excellent success. The most valuable part of her plan of training her children was the influence of good literature, The particular favorite was Sir Mathew Hales' Contemplations, Moral and Devine . One part of this book known as The Great Audit, can easily be imagined to have been • ritten by Washington, himself. This depicts the great stev ardas giving his account to God. the good steward as been thankful to God as the Author of his manifold blessings. He has been careful not to discourage or deaden his conscience, but has improved it be nourshing it with the best principilcs and by forbearing from these things which might in anyway prove unlawful. He has always chosen his words by merit of their truth, Sincerity, and the good which they may bring to others. He has been careful to ingle justice and honestly with hi3 4’1'sdom in all hi man affairs not using ill means even to bring about the most unquest ioable good end. He has not sought power and prestige in this world, but has sought rather to lay up for himself treasure in heaven. While at any time holding a position of power, he has continued to serve God faithfully and has kept his heart humble, using his power as a help rather than an oppression to his neighbors . He has never attempted to build up a fake reputation, but has allowed it to grow from his true character, which he has kept untainted. From what we know of Washington it is evident that he followed the guidance of his mother's favorite book in building his character, and life. It is generally believed the Washington's mother has not received the credit which is due her, but it is certain that her careful and judicious training during the formation period of his life was a powerful factor in his event ial success. Virginia Irvine 12 A Edwin Markham. Countinued from page 3 Mr. E. B. Was., we might add, asked the permission of Mr. Markham to set his poem, A prayer , to ,.iusic. Having gained the permission, he took his place at the organ and composed music for thbs most wonderful poem. Fred Wertz Teacner-Jimmie, can you tell me how matches arc made? Jimmie-No, ma'am, but I don't blame you for asking. Teacher-That do you mean? Jimmie-Well, mother says you have been trying to make a match for 30 years. What did he imply? Lincoln wac once addressing a meeting of eidtors, he said he felt like the ugly man riding through a wood who met a woman also on horseback. She stopped and said: Well, for land sake, you are the homeliest man I ever saw. Yes, madam, but I can't help it. he slid. No, I suppose not, she observed, but you might stay at home. 1 . . m.'Jibf’UsK . lM lo nolsaltm:.. i K j? igim , .e.11 08 3 Ti THE BLJ2 AND 7EIT3 Forgotton Facts ..bout ashington Though Washington ranks as ono of the greatest men in history in private life he was the same as other men. The liked women and was net ashamed of it. Ills group of friends included many churm-aV1 v ing women. His wife, Martha Custis ras at-one jJOe timo included in hie group of friends but after 3- f' thoir marriage she res ono of tho greatest influences in his life. Everyone enjoys reading just what 'ashington loolcod like. He was a splendidly built man. Though he woi vjiod 230 pounds just before his death his woight was net noticed c.s he was very tall. Washington had a very pule complexion for one who spent so much time out of doors. The features of his face were coarsely formed. Els eyes, which ere set far ap rt in his forehead, -ere bluish gray in color. In his youth his hair was sandy colored but turned brown as he grow older. Wf Washington gained a reputation fer being a very serious and. solomn person who never laughed. However lie was really a very jovial person but ho wore false tooth which fit so imperfectly that •.-’hen ho laughed they always fell from bis mouth. This “ as very embarrassing to say the least. Though he was a groat men who headed an army ashington had an uncontrollable -'rath. TThon his - rath or rage was aroused he could s car fluently. Many times when angered the tears would roll down his face thus showing Washington was a man of deep emotions. In Washington’s time it wan tho custom to eat most of the time. Breakfast wee served at seven o’clock in the morning and dinner at three o’clock in tho afternoon. Supper was s.rv,d at nine o’clock in tho evening. Those meals consisted of many different feeds including numerous dainties. rTashington like every other man liked food and according to his diary was net very discrete about the quantity he consumed. Tho Red Cross Council Tho Red Cress Council of Newport High School was Q organized December, 1931. There are sixteen representatives. Two from oach bene room, in the council. Tho officers of the council ..re as follows: President, Mary Louise D’Oiler, Vice President: Gertrude Snyder, Secretary: Virginia Irvine, Treasure: Russel Ilorting. Tho council is dividod into committees, .k.ch c mmittcc has its own work to do. kith tho chairman at the head of the committee.
