THE SUTHERLAND 9'. port of the studenttbody both in contributing materiati and in subscribing We hope to edit a paper that will be worthy of our school. -B. McCarty. '29. Wh LEISURE MOMENTS Many years ago in old England. a little lad sat in front of an open hearth. The cover of a hattqred teakettle was dancing before his youthful eyes. Gradually it attracted his attention. and he sought to discover the cause. Some years later James Watt invented the steam-engine, propelled by the same force that had caused the cover to act so peculi'arly. Watt gained his fame on a discovery which he made dur- ing his leisure moments. The foundation of Lincolnts great: . ness is due to the using up of his spare time. N apolean dream- ed hi3 triumphs and fought his battles many years before he took over the French government. It seems only fitting and proper at this time. when vaca- tion days are so near, that we should take lessons from these great men and make use of our leisure moments. Acquire a hobby, or interest yourself in some subject and master it dur- ing your spare time. We cannot all hope to win fame and fortune by mere day dreaming. But we may hope that, when the time comes, that extra bit of strength may boost us a notch above our neigh- bor on the ladder of success. Leisure moments are golden. hJ. Flanagan, '29.

:- THE SUTHERLA ND XXXX ; LI TE RARY TO THE SENIORS Another class is leaving dear old Proctor lligh; Another class is parting. Is it with a sigh? Will they be. seeking only pleasure? Or means of storing treasure? Are they eager for a steeper hill to climb? Vs'ill they face the tasks of life and gain success? Will they stop at words of praise or flatt'ring jest? Are they going to play the cheat When an easy chance they meet? ' Will they climb to fame or fall to carelessness? The Senim' class is strong and full of pep; They will face the world with grit. and keep in step; Tlmylve in store a lot of pluck, For success cmmea not hy luck; They have courage hacking them besides their hope. The classes that they leave behind will strive T0 shoulder faithfully what'er betide; We shall grimly tackle work: We Shall never try to Shirk; Their spirit and their hope We shall revive. l H. Sil'jane. l29.
