THE ECHO. SS TEE SN NN EN A LL LE tween them and intended to bag both parties and secure their horses and firearms. Then, when he had walked across the road there was no doubt in their minds but that it was Indians. Seeing no way of escape and knowing no mercy would be given, they determined to make resistance. According- ly, they got out behind the wagon, first care- fully loading the guns they had. Then, they drove slowly down the road. When they got to the rocks, instead of a battle as they had expected, one of their party was wait- ing to tell them to make greater effort to catch up, as they were in the danger line, Night came on, they pitched camp and stationed a man to guard. During the night he heard something creeping, and fearing it to be an Indian, he fired his shotgun, which was loaded with buckshot. For a while all was quiet. When he heard something come stalking up, he again fired. In the morning, when they investigated, they found it was a prospector and his mule he had killed. In looking over his pack for something to iden- tify hin, they found ore which was very rich and they felt certain that he had found the mine they were looking for. It was thought by them that he was creeping up to find out whether it was a camp of Indians or not. This sad accident cast a gloom over camp for days after. Soon after this, they reached the nearest fort, and the party broke up af- ter having been gone about fourteen months. They had seen a great deal of country and had gained only experience. Cattle were af- terwards herded over the country in hopes of finding it. But all efforts have proved unavailing. SCHOOL ACTIVITIES Gray woearcy: The associated student body has develop- ed several prominent leaders along the vari- ous lines of school activities, and these in turn are exerting a good influence in bring- ing about a fine school spirit. Student body officers, managers of athletics, and captains of athletic teams are elected from members of the associated student body whose con- duct and influence stands for that which is best and highest in the school. All school activities are under the per- sonal supervision of members of the faculty. lt is the policy of the school to get as many students as possible interested in one or more branches of the student body activit- ies. Well-directed athletic contests produce strong physical bodies, and the students with strong physical bodies are the ones who are enabled to exercise greater mental activity. The High School paper affords an excel- lent opportunity for training in journalism. The annual literary contest and the annual debating contest, the Senior play, the or- chestra and the glee club are other activities which make school life attractive and worth while. The school exercises given on Wed- nesday morning of each week have brought forth some excellent talent. The programs are exceptionally interesting, and are very much appreciated by students and teachers alike. Collectively these activities afford an ex- cellent opportunity for the development oi those soc ial relations which prepares one for the more serious problems of life. They are all important factors in the development of character. They prepare for leadership. | | —— —e

THE ECHO. rr WHAT THE EDITORS THINK; LEST WE FORGET It is the purpose of this editorial to call to mind certain events to occur during the spring months. First of all, there is the Senior play. We are promised a good time, and judging by our Christmas success, we shall not be dis- appointed. So now is the time to get in your good work with the paternal—you can work him up slowly. Then, ye men of muscle, never for an in- stant, lose sight of the fact that the annual class field-day will be held soon. No better opportunity for winning their spurs will be offered the Freshman. If you cannot win an “S” during your first year, try hard to pull your numerals out of the interclass. Train now, with that fact in mind. The green and white of 1911 will win the cup— that is inevitable—but do your best to keep its score as low as possible. The annual debate, with its silver trophy. is well worth winning. Go to the barn and practice oratory before the spiders. That is the way Daniel Webster acquired his skill. Last, and most important to those not engaged in athletics, will be the battle of pens between our many literateurs. The contestants are chosen by the principal and the English teachers from those students whose work in English is exceptionally praiseworthy or who are conspicuous for their literary ability, as shown by their work on The Echo. The prize, a silver cup, goes to the one who writes the best story, de- scription or poem. Therefore, we advise each of you to put a special effort into your English compositions and to favor the edi- tors with an occasional story. NOTICE Since The Echo is your paper, it is ex- pected that each of you will do your best to make it a success. The editors will appre- ciate your stories, articles, drawings, jokes, and anything of interest to High School students. Make your drawings in ink, on good draw- ing paper. The size is of no importance, as we can reduce or enlarge the drawings at will. To receive attention, your manuscripts must be flat—never rolled, always written in ink, and lengthwise on small, manil a paper, with the perforations on the left. This last device is not what it may seem—an “old maid’s’” whim—but an arrangement neces- sary to keep our valuable literary gems from getting lost in the linotype. Jokes should be submitted to one of the Josh editors ; stories to Laverne Sutherland, ‘and drawings to the editor. All material for the February number must be received by February 3.
