These students showed very good sportsmanship. Some few who did not come dressed as they should have been were fix- ed up by students. Those who did the things they were asked to do were excellent sports, but there were a few who became angry when they were asked to do things. Students who became ang- ry because of little things, are poor sports and are disliked by their classmates.

Wanda White, Lucille Johnston. Willie Mae Reeves. Margaret Cranfil! and Babe Kel- ley. The object of these home vis- its Is to become better acquainted with the parents, discuss the work being done by their daughters and discuss the different projects the girls could carry out through the year. Between The Book Ends Found! A book In the library: How to Live on Twenty-four Hours a Day. The author. Arn- old Bennett, cleverly points out that everyone has the same a- mount of time each day—twenty- four hours. He strikes most of us when he says that people are painfully existing each day and feel that when they have more time. they will do the things that will cause them to live. There is no more time to be had. Peo- ple have all the time there is each day—thats the limit. Outside of a person's working hours, how does he spend his time? True, he sleeps, eats, converses with his friends and attends recreational programs. But even that does not take all of the remaining hours. Bennett figures that a minimum of seven hours and a half a week are to- tally wasted that could be used to such an advantage as to dis- tinguish between living fully and comfortably and merely existing or muddling through life. Whatever one Is Interested In. one can spend seven hours on with great satis- faction. The book does not set up cer- tain rules, but It suggests and ex- plains a formula which one might pattern one's life by. It Is easy and Interesting reading. The Petersburg Buffaloes gave Spring Lake their first defeat of the season. The scores were 13 to 0 In favor of Petersburg. The Buffaloes scored late In first quarter when they intercepted one of the Wolverines forward passes to sprint 18 yards to touchdown. The try for the extra point was unsuccessful .
