JUNIORS SELECT PINS AND RINOS W)IO S WHO OF THE SENIOR CLASS FROM THE EDITOR'S CHAIR The llalfour Award We have heard Mr. Edelmon ex- plain the Balfour Award and we find an article for this issue of the Wolverine explaining It to the public. We are moved to add our feeble voice to the discussion. The award is an award of hon- or for the one senior student of each year who is judged from the standpoint of loyalty, leadership, and achievement. This means the best all-around person of the sen- ior class. What higher honor could be awarded to any member of the class? We’d much rather have this than to be valedictorian or salutatortan, If we had our choice. We wonder how many of the sen- iors class feel that same way a- bout It as we do. We also wonder if the senior student understands yet Just what It will mean to re- ceive or not to receive this award at the end of school. Has ho thought that far ahead? We think. Mr. Senior, that this is the time for you to think of It. After all the faculty will have records of your achievements for the entire year and they will bo able to remember concerning loy- alty and leadership ss far back as September and October. How about comparing yourself with other members of the class and see for yourself Just where you rank? A little self criticism may prove valuable towards correcting your faults. Whom do you have to live with more than yourself? Wo say that If you consciously work for this award and don't succeed you will have a more lik- able personality and a finer char- acter at the end of school than you do now; so will have lost nothing and gained a lot. Let us not say. Every man Is the architect of his own fortune; but let us say. Every man Is the architect of his own character.”— G. D. Boardman. The Juniors met Thursday. Sep- tember 24, In order to select the pins and rings. The pins are being bought this year and rings which will match the pins will be bought next year. The pins are solid and have a blue set mounted with the crest which the school adopted. The crest has an old English S on It with Spring Lake printed at the botton. The Banner was selected for the guard which is attached to the pin by a small gold chain. The Banner Is gold and covered with blue enamel with 1937 in gold letters on the enamel. The rings for next year match the pins, and are similar to the rings selected by this year's sen- iors with the exception of the stone. The 1937 class chose a blue stone for their rings. RINGS TO UK RECEIVED MIDDLE OF NOVEMBER ROSE PETALS THOUGHT OF THE WEEK Speak well of every one If you speak of them at all—none of us are so very good.—Elbert Hub- bard. The school building and grounds are looking like a different place With all these new walks, lawns, rooms, etc.. It seems like a “big school. Spring Lake surely is growing. The new gymnasium is a rep for tho school. Although the weather conditions have hind- ered the progress of the building. It Is growing fast and the boys and girls as well as the teachers and community are very anxious to gel to use the gym. The Glee Club's and Mother Singer's oper- etta will probably be the first dramatic production In the new auditorium. Other activities are Just waiting for a place large e- nough to accomodate the crowd. This will be a busy community when the building is complete. Mr. Edelmon surely has a fine typing class almost any time In the day one can pass the room and hear three or four typewriters tapping. Although the pep squad girl's knees are tender from kneeling Friday to make their S. L. S.. It was worth the effort. The girls are planning big on their uni- forms this year. The Seniors. Juniors and Sopho- mores voted to standardise the white enamel crest for their rings. This crest will always represent Spring Lake High School and no other school can obtain It. You should be proud of tho Seniors of 1936-37 for selecting this beauti- ful crest for your school. Lewell Hite, son of Mr. and Mrs. R. P. Hite, was born March a. 1920, at Vernon.

(Continued noxt week) Yellow gold rings set with a ruby stone which has a crest In the center of It were selected by the 1937 seniors of Spring Lake High School from samples shown by the salesman of the Balfour Jewelers of Attlcbourgh. Mass. The seniors were unanimous in their choice of this ring. The crest consists of an old English S with Spring Lake written undor It and a Roman ornament on each aide. This is placed on top of the ruby which Is oblong In shape. The shanks of the rings carries 19 on one aide and 37 In the oth- er In modernistic figure. The sen- iors are expecting the rings by the middle of November. The crest has been adopted for Spring Lake School and is to bo on all ring and pins which rep- resent Spring Lake High School. This crest may be placed on any type ring. This allows for change in style and general appearance of the rings, and yet Spring Lake's emblem will become sig- nificant through the years. The school is to receive a Bal- four award for the high ranking senior studont of six senior class- es for placing a three year con- tract with the company. This is a definite advantage for ordering from the Balfour com- pany. yet no sacrifice has been made on the quality of tho Jew ai- ry and the price of the Balfour Jewelry compares satisfactorily with the price of similar qua'lly merchandise of other companies. The juniors and sophomores were consulted In the adoption of the crest and allowed to makj se- lections for pins and rings to bo paid for and received when the proper time arrive- .

CONDUCT IN STUDV HALL Due to a lot of noise going on in tho achool building—caused by the hammering and sawing of the workmen. It la undoubtedly hard for the students to get their minds concentrated on their stu- dies In the study hall. They can't seem to think coherently, or get their minds on what they are try- dts-lnterested, and the frlst thing Ing to do; therefore they become Ing with the other students near we notice Is that they are vlslt- thcm. This not only disturbs the Ing with the other students near them. This not only disturbs the students who are trying to study, but It also causes the teacher con- siderable trouble. So students, let's have a little respect for our study-hall teach er and our fellowmen, and If we can't spend our time studying, we can at least be quiet, for there may be some who wish to study. We may all wish that we had taken advantage of the study-halls too. when our six-weeks teats and mid-term exams come rolling long. SUCK FLOOR Tho other day Just before his- tory clams, which Is held In Room 18, Margarett Cranflll had some Important business at Mr. Bodecker's desk, and upon hearing some one down In the hall, she made a wild rush for her seat. Evidently the floor was very slick. Her foot slipp- ed. She fell and went sliding down the Isle. Knee skates might prove helpful In such a situation! Margie Lee White, who has a back desk which does not have the scat connection, was attempting to get a book from her desk. She grabbed tho top of the desk. Her feet slipped out from under her and natur- ally she sat down on the floor. She didn't waste any time or energy In getting from her feet to the floor, either.

I guess he was disappointed, but maybe he would not have been If those pep squad girls had been there to yell. Everyone should know by now that the more boosters there are. the better and easier anything Is carried on. Those boys need all the help they can get from every, body. This was recently heard on the school bus: Margie Lee—Knock; knock? Douglas—Who's there? Margie Lee—Lemlck. Douglas— Lemlck who? Margie Lee—Lemlck me call you sweetheart.

From morning to night and sometimes when we sleep we talk. The volcea of our loved ones are dear to ua and we treasure them. If they are forev- er ceaaed It la aad. There are the common, homey words with which we talk with over loved onea; the inspiring words we throw to our despond- ent friend; the words young lov- ers find; and the words we call hymns and psalms. With such high uses of words, wa should never use them to hurt people. Nevertheless, that Is a dally tragedy. Many souls arc seared each day by vile words. Let your words fall as gentle as the dew on the grssa whose presence we do not notice until we see the diamonds glittering. Practice sets have been received by the bookkeeping class. This Is the first of three sets which are to be worked up during the first semester. This set contains accounts for a filling station.
