Surely the least we can do is to feel an honest appreciation of the wonders of this nature about us, and a reverence for high objects, pure thoughts and noble aims. Too often we see only the bright lights of artificiality, and too seldom the pure, shining stars of life! Are you interested in those stars, and do you seek to understand them better? 01' are you satisfied with the street lights below? . E. B. STUDENT AID. I When Shakespeare wrote Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness -thrust upon 'em, .he knew that all men were not equal as to position in life. If we should rewrite the above version so that it will read: Some are born rich, some acquire riches, and some have riches thrust upon 'em, we should have a better distinguishing inequality among men. Riches, or rather money, plays an important part in the progress of man, for if parents lack sufficient funds with which to educate their children, who suffers? Not the mother or father, but the child. Who is held back on the race track of life? Again, the child. Many times a child is sent out into the world to work, not be- cause the father needs fthe extra money which the child earns, but be- cause the father has not enough money to provide for a further educa- tion. .4 We have such cases in Kansas City, where the boy or girl works, not be- cause his earnings are needed at home, but because the high school education costs more than the father can pay, for we must remember that if we in- clude board and clothing, as well as small incidentals, it costs between five and six hundred dollars a year to Send a child through high school. An incident of this kind happened at the beginning of the term in a down- town book store. A girl, just begin- ning her high school course, and her mother were buying books. The dress of both indicated that money was not plentiful in their family. After the mother had priced several needed books she sighed and said, I don't see where we're going to get all the money to pay for these books, but you want to go on to school so I guess we'll have to secure the money some place. It is for families in similar condi- tions that some sort of aid ought to be provided, so that they may send their children to high school. A system could be adopted by which these children would be furnished with books, free of charge. Many of the more fortunate students have books which they would not sell because they value the book more than the money which they would receive for them. But, on the other hand, they would gladly lend their books to the less fortunate, provided that the books would be returned in a good condition. Afternoon jobs could also be provided for them, so that their high school ca- reer would be made a pleasure, and not a burden. Many of you have heard of similar conditions existing at Northeast High School. So why not begin work at home, to provide sufficient resources for such demands? How far that little candle throws his beams! So shines a good deed in a naughty world. -When Miss Fox gives an E. Sufferance is the badge of all our tribe. -The freshman.

All who were present at the Inter-Club Dance were certainly sur- prised and delighted at the tasteful novelties introduced at that entertain- ment, all of which were arranged and paid for by our parents. -But that isn't all, we may expect other surprises -with Mrs. M. Daniels chairman of the committee and with four or five hundred dollars additional to be spent next year. To show our appreciation, it seems that we should help in every way, so rack your brains for ideas and your pocket for money. LOOK IVIE OVER! Thus far the student body has re- sponded readily to the call of the staff for material, but our next issue is the Annual, which will need double support in order that we might come out over the top in its publication. It is a ne- cessity that must ,be realized right now. Each and every student of Northeast is responsible for the kind of paper that is edited, since without students there could not possibly be such a thing ex- isting as a school magazine. You have just one month's time in which to work and talk for ads, listen with two wide open ears to the com- ical remarks that are daily being spoken in your classes, and not only register them in your minds, but jot sight, and to the Seniors we plead that you commence saving your sixpence in order that you might have your pic- ture in the Annual with the rest -of the class of 1922. Let's make this publication the largest and best that has ever been issued at Northeast High School. With what you have, and where you are, will you do it? H. S. - Do clouds continually hide the stars of night from you? Not the atmos- pherical clouds of the heavens, but the clouds of artificial city obstruc- tion. It is truly amazing to see how little these wonders of the sky are ap- preciated in a big city. On clear, beautiful nights, people so seldom no- tice or remark about the stars, they care not where the Big Dipper is,-or what some- unusually brilliant star is called. Some can only see the bright lights of the amusement halls, never the pure rays of the stars. And so it is regarding many things in life-the old story of a lack of ap- preciation for the good and beautifull Living in the midst of so many splen- did things we should all feel an active appreciation for them, and seek to leave something noble on our page in life. But if we possess not the vir- tues capable of creating anything great or individual, it is a comfort to know that one's life will have been worth while- if he has felt a true ap- preciation for great and pure things. This feeling is manifested in an earn- est desire for and effort to obtain a knowledge and understanding of fine

And I'm quite popular, I am. Inst think how long people wait in line to get me. Why sometimes they even push ahead of others to be the first to reach me! CBut of course I know you are too altruistic to do a thing like thatj Sometimes I even cause trouble. Once when I was performing gym- nastics on the edge of a desk, by the aid of my dexterous owner. much to the delight of my interested audience, some stern-eyed person, CI think they call her teacher j frowned at me and demanded that I be put away. I no- ticed that everyone immediately be- came absorbed with his books, I wonder why? So I had to forego my exercise and be thrust into a dark pocket once more. pVVhy, anyone ought to know that my performance of trying to stand on my head on the top of a pencil is more interesting than listening to amo, amari, amarbi, etc. But that just shows how unapprecia- tive some people are! But despite- my popularity, I'm rather democratic. Yes, indeed, I con- descend to associate with pennies and three-cent checks. But I change own- ers quite often. Sometimes I'm mixed up with a knife and matches and rub- ber bandsg but still, that isn't so bad as being squeezed in a book with a powder puff right next to the Battle of Agincourt, or perhaps perched on top of the Uhypotonuse of A2-I-B2--1 C2. CFor reference consult Mr. Al G. Brayj Once I was shoved into a pocket that had a hole in it. How glad I was to slide through it and skip down the street awhile in the sunlight! But then when I stopped on the parkway and hid under a maple leaf, it wasn't so nice. because no one saw me for a long time. There were some rude
