TYPICALLY AMERICAN Letters to the Editor If a young lad in school wore asked to name some things typically American, he probably would answer Indians or skyscrapers. A lew years later, with his mind shifted to business problems, his answer might well be the local bank. In this country, the local bank has been a natural development. Wherever groups of people have settled and the need of banking service has arisen, the local bank has opened its doors to give financial assistance and helpful counsel. Through the local bank, the American Hanking System reaches out to everywhere to populous centers and rural districts— to the farmer who needs money to produce or move his crops, as well as the manufacturer. retailer or individual in town. THE LOCAL BANK HAS MADE POSSIBLE A BANKING SYSTEM FOR ALL THE PEOPLE THE RACINE HOME BANK Member Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation l ear Editor: I think Racine should have a football team. Our school has always ranked high in basketball, soltball. and baseball. Wh not try football, too? There is plenty of room on our campus for a field without interfering with anything else. Temporary bleachers could be erected along the ter-tace which would give the audience a clear view of all tin field. Every year many boys are interested and I am sure football for Racine High School would he a great success. Daryl Johnson Lear Editor: As one who is about to leave Racine High School. I would like to offer a few words of constructive criticism. I think that one thing lacking in our school is a devotional or assembly program at least once a wcey. This could he done by each room presenting a small program of its own or by a general assembly. This assembly might consist of a few minutes devotional peroid. alter which the students could present small plays, congs. or readings. This would help the students not only to become accustomed to appear before public but also would help to make school more interesting. Thanet Barnitz Dear Editor: I think an art course should be added to our curriculum. There are many pupils who would like to be artists if they had tin chance to study it in school. Other schools have art courses, why can’t we? It would be great to go to an art Gallery in New York City and see a drawing by a member of our school. I an sure we have many good artists in our school if they could be discovered. Dear Editor: 1 think the school building and grounds should be larger. For instance whenever it is too cold to go outside for gym we are taken into the auditorium. There, too. all music classes for larger groups are held. That is all well and good and I don’t say that it shouldn’t be there but if the school building were larger then the auditorium could be so placed that when anything was going on in it the noise would not tend to distract the pupils in the study hall from their books. Geraldine Roush Dear Editor: I suggest that the Auditorium roof be repaired. The plaster on the ceiling is coming off. causing the room to look old and shabby. This falling plaster is a menace to the students. If the roof is not fixed before next school year, it might be wise to take out insurance on the pupils. Ross Van Meter Dear Editor: Don't you think that we pupils have been criticized enough and that it should be our turn to do the criticizing? As school is so near to a close we might even venture ;o far as to say a word or two concerning the teachers. I think they change their frame of mind too often. One day they are lenient and the next day very strict. This Keeps us in a whirl until we hardly know what to expect. But, after all. no one is perfect even though he is a teacher. Betty Woodgerd
