IT IS EASY IN THE WORLD TO LIVE AFTER THE VORLD'S OPINION Every ordinary person is 1n fluenced more or less by the public The paper and radio furn ish much propaganda and a maj ority of the readers or listeners are persuaded to believe state ments they knox little about Take for another e ample, the ordlnary person, a busine s man or farmer He ets into a group and dlscusses a coming election They agree wlth one who is more or less leader among them When they go to the polls to cast their ballots, they vote for the same man because they believe rest of thelr roup is going vote that way They may not lieve he is a better man it's cause 1t's the groups' opinlon and so they do lt This is mob persuasion, or staying with the crowd A person Hoes to a base ball game There is a decislon made which part of the crowd does not approve This person d1d not see the play, but because everv one else is yellin, and beeing the un the gets the ldea he doesn't llke the umpire and because some of the others throw things at hlm h does Then he goes home and tells xhat a crooked umpire they had and yet he bS1l6V6S this just because the crowd did,not because he had seen foul plaf He is Just follow ng the crovd T1N6S change, and they change, the ideas of many people change, too Automobiles are in vented You dlsapprove of having automobiles take the place of horses and buggies Some of your friends buy one A few of the other people in town get theirs though you disapprove, you po to a garage or salesman and ect your first auto mobile Why? Because else is It's the the world Then you, yes, even everybody way Joseph Hoy '40 PLAYGROUND FOR SHERMAN HIGH In the near future Sherman will have a playground for its students The schoolyard will be built bit by bit because it costs so much for each sport We are plannlng to have tennis court near the agriculture building This is an entirely new idea to most of the Sherman people Tennis is an interesting game and IT10St schools have lt The court probably will be tarred instead of rubberized as this latter method costs more We will have to buy all the equipment necessary and I think each boy or girl who plays should have h1S or her own tennis racket Archery is a popular sport It doesn't have to have a special place but the targets can be set up almost anywhere bome schools compete with others in this sport as we do in basketball and base ball In archery one must have ood eyesight It is something llke targ t shooting except that bows and arrow are used instead of uns The equlpment doesn't cost a great deal and boys and Outdoor basketball is much better for students than indoor We had equlpment for it once At that time the ground wasn't smooth The rocks xere hard on the ball,it was easlly punctured After a section of the ground is levelled and tarrcd for basket ball the sport will be much en JOyed A playground is a necessary thing on a school ground,It keeps the boys and girls from the streets It gives them a chance to cooperate in the games and have good times together Being outdoors is much better for stu dents than inside It is health ful and good exerclse to Join in these games In the end, the fathers and mothers of the stu dents will in bccxusc it will keep the boys and irls healthy Althea Lewis '41 1 . l ' L Q .
