8 THE CHIMES work easier; can help your school l)y boosting it to outsiders. Jt you have not already ])een doing your best — originate. Originate school spirit. Lo e your school. Without love you cannot do your best for it. A thing done because you feel it to be your duty is not as well done as one which } ou do out of love and re- spect for a person or thing. If necessary you should sacrifice some things for your school. You may have to sacrifice a night at the movies in order to pay your class dues, but in the end you will not regret it. Participate in all things you can. Anyone athletically inclined should participate in sports. Participate, too, in your class activities. Impel yourself to do your best in your studies and any office which you may hold. Respect your teachers and your school. Little can be done for a person not respecting anything or anyone worthy of this tribute. Include everyone in your list of friends. Personality is one of your greatest assets. Tackle all work with an ambition and desire to reach the top. A BOOK REVIEW Dorothy MacDonald, ' 31 ' ' Lincoln, an interesting biography, was written by Emil Ludwig. This stor3 -portrait of Lincoln is very realistic. It shows a Lincoln of many moods, — Lincoln gay, happy, careworn, depressed, angry, loving, and humiliated. One can come to know him better — even if one thinks he knows all there is about him — through reading this delight- ful biography. Ludwig does not dwell on historical facts that we can get in any good Hbrary if we hunt for history. He tries to emphasize the fact that Lincoln was human. He had his faults, his ideas, his mottoes, and his ambitions. He had enemies as well as friends. Ludwig visited the birthplace and other places where Lincoln had lived. Erom neighbors and relatives he learned of some very amusing and pathetic incidents in the life of Lincoln. In this biography Ludwig just touches on historical events when they are necessary for his subject to be better under- stood.

THE CHIMES 7 Use them well. Class spirit is a great thing , but school spirit is much greater. Therefore when the two conflict, give up the lesser for the greater and you will never regret it. A PLEA TO ALL SCITUATE HIGH STUDENTS John Jakubens, ' 32 We have a new building and a new gym. Are we going to fill that gym with cheers next winter when Scituate High goes on the basket ball court? You bet we are. Every boy and girl in school can lend something to dear old Scituate High. If we can ' t lend material for the athletic teams, we can give support from the sidelines. We should- n ' t be half-hearted about our cheering; we should all be pre- sent at the games, cheering our teams on. The girls and boys aren ' t playing for themselves; they are playing for the good of the school, and half the game is won by support. Eor the past two or three years, Scituate High School has not had very good support. Why can ' t we all attend the games? No distance is too far to go to cheer our school on. If we lose, no one can say that we haven ' t done our part if we were at the sidelines. If we aren ' t interested in our team, why should the players be? They are playing for the school and we should be supporting them. Come to every athletic contest and help us win for Scit- uate High. SCHOOL SPIRIT Mary Stewart, ' 30 Strive Sacrifice Cooperate Participate Help Impel Offer Respect Originate Include Love Tackle I wonder why it is thought that School Spirit no longer exists among the boys and girls of today? Is it truly so, or is it merely that we do not exhibit our feelings ? To have the poper school spirit you must strive, — strive to help your school in various ways ! Pay your class and A. A. dues, boost your school, contribute to the Chimes, and keep up in your studies. Cooperation is necessary. You must cooperate with 3 ' our teachers by knowing your lessons and thus by making their

Why, just think of it, going on a great big boat to New York to visit your daughter! Course you ' re going. No, Hettie, Hiram says there ain ' t no sense of a woman of my age to go gallivanting around. He says I ' ve always been a home-loving person and he doesn ' t see wdiy I have to start now. Anyhow he ' s planning to go to see about hiring another man for the harvesting and that wall make more work. He says he isn ' t going to waste money on me that he can use for hiring a man to help him. Lord sakes ! how many more men is he going to hire? He ' s got four now. There ' s more work for yer. But you ain ' t a-going to do it; I tell yer you ' re going to New York But Hiram says — You never mind Hiram. You ' ve listened to him for the last thirty years, and I guess it ' s about time you had your own way. Hannah, you get ready to go. You get yer things packed. You gotta revolt some day and you might as well start now. Well, goodbye. You be a-thinking it over and get ready. Goodbye. But, Hettie — She was gone leaving Hannah in a bewildered state of mind. Would she dare to do it? To go against Hiram, whose word had always been law in her house? But she hadn ' t any money, only what little she had saved from sell-
