ROSE PETALS EDITORIAL Learn The Work More Impor- tant than Good Grades Boys and girls, to learn the work which is given to you In your classes Is more Important than to obtain a good grade. It is better to make a grade of C on work you have learned than to make a grade of A by using some one clse's work which you have not learned. As Mr. Edelmon told you In the last assembly. “It is very easy to get make-up work by using another pupil's work. If you do this, you will probably fall the examinations. You should realise that your parents are sacrificing for you to get an education. Show them and your teacrer that you want to get an education. What mother or father Is it that doesn't want his or her child to make good grades, get a good education, be honored, and everyone think well of them? There Is no greater thrill or happinees in your school work than when Commencement Night comes, and your diploma is pre- sented to you.And. oh. how much better you will feel If you have gotten It honestly! MR EDELMON SPEAKS TO STUDENTS OCT. 22 Mr. Edelmon. the superinten- dent. spoke to the high school students about their grades In an assembly held in room 16. Oct. 22 He announced the students who were falling In one or more sub- jects and a too those who were heading the j list of making the highest grades. Mr. Edelmon told the students that their later life depended upon what they did now. He said If they were plan- ning to pass their courses It was time they were getting started working. Very few assemblies are being held since there Is no longer an auditorium in the school building and the gym. is not completed. Regular assembly meetings will be held for the different school groups when arrangements can be made In the gymnasium. The first six-week's report was given Thursday. October 22. There Is a large space for Improvment. Now that we are more acquainted with school after the summer va- cation. let's go to work! It Isn't too late to try now but It wlU be some day. Why do we go lo school. Mr. Edelmon said. “A school is to de- velopc better citizens. What will become of the next generation If we are noteducatcd. Do we not want to advance above the gen- erations preceding ours?’Of course we want to grow In ideas and ways. Now Is the time to start! “Toll spells success. TRYING “I'll try Is a soldier. “I will Is a king; Be sure they are near When the school bells ring. When school days are over. And boys are men. I’ll try and I will Are good friends then. Mr. Boedeker— Margaret Lee! This chicken has no wishbone.' Margaret Lee— He was a hap- py and contented chicken and had nothing to wish for. Von— Dad. what are the holes In this board? Mr. Edelmon— Those are knot holes. Von. (after consideration)— Well, If they're not holee. what are they? often discouraged. Whatever Spring Lake can do to make play more Interesting for girls. It should do so. The custom of keeping Hallo- we'en night has come to us from the Celts of Great Brltlan whose religion was directed by priests called Druids. On the eve of November 1st. there wae a sol- emn ceremony. The Druids gath- ered around a fire that had been burning through the year. At a signal they quenched the fire and another was started. The peo- ple of the valley raised a great shout and other fires on hillsides answered the sacred flame. Then, the people were satisfied. The custom of playing pranks1 came from the old Idea that It! was witches' night. and all! strange and wild powers were abroad to do mischief, but just when and where the thought a- rose. no one seems to know. Where Hallowe’en Originated (By Fern I-an dm) Mr. Boedeker has never fully decided to have his hair set—says Elsie. Mr. Edelson—“I see that In one foreign country a wife can be bought for a dollar. Mrs. Edelmon— That's awful.” Mr. Edolmon— Oh, X guess a good wife is worth It. AMBITION LuclUe J—“All men are fools. Joe— Yes. ws were made fools an you girls would't be old maids. Bstter to strive and climb. And never reach the goal. Than to drift along with time. An aimless, worthless soul. Aye. better climb and fall. Or sow. though the yield be small. Than to throw away day after day. And never strive at all. —Margarot Sangster. Anyone who Is willing to work can find some way of using hla spare time. A good many stud- ents pretend to be studying when they are not. No teacher can see that a number of students are busy. It lin t his duty. We must do It ourselves. Respect your class officers e- nough not to criticize falsely. If you have never been a president, you don't know how difficult It Is to have order nor how dlzcourag- Ing It la If you can't have order. Do your part by being attentive and speak only when you have, been addressed by the president.! If the majority of the class votes J opposite your opinion, let It be. that way and don't say anymore | about It. Whatever you do don't lay the blame on the president.! He has enough weight on his shoulder. Look for your own faults, but look for good In oth- ers. Who’s Who Of The Senior Class Time U too short to waste. Time Is always on the wing. You can never stop its flight. Then do at once your litUa task. Happier you will be at night. It Is usually a problem to get older girls to organize In recre- ation. Boys will play under al- most any condition. Girls are handicapped by their clothing and customs. A girl has only 3- the lung capacity of a boy the same age.

If you had lived hundreds of years ago. you would have been quite certain that every sound you heard after dark on October 31. was sure to be a witch, or a spirit, or a hobgob- lin of some sort; for properly speaking. Hallowe’en does not be- gin till after the sun Is down, and no self respecting ghost would think of walktn around In day- light. now would he? There was a time. long ago. when people really did believe that on Hallowe'en ghosts and supernatural beings wandered a- round on the earth anfl played all sorts of pranks. However, we know today that all these charms and spells were nonsense; never- theless. It Is great fun to make- believe. so we copy the old sup- erstitions rites of Hallowe'en, and have lots of fun with them. Like most of our holidays. Hal- lowe'en dates back to very early times. Before the days of Chris- tianity there were people living In England who were called Celts. These people worshiped Pagan gods, and the priests of their re- ligion called Druids. On the first of November a great autumn fes- tival was held. Huge fires were lighted In honor of their aun-god because, by his warm rays, he had ripened their fields of grain. The Druids believed that every year, on the eve of this ancient harvest festival, tne lord of death called back to earth the souls of all the wicked dead persons who had been condemned lo punlah- held responsible for all Rinds of mysterious happenings. When Christianity look the place of the heathen religion in England, the Church had so many saints to honor that It was im- possible to give a day to everyone. For ibis reason, one day. Novem- ber 1. was chosen for honoring all the aalnts. and was called All Saints' Day. The night before all Saints' Day was called “All Hallow's Eve. which we have shortened to Hallowe'en. Before long, the old festival of the Druids fell and the name “Hallowe’en” came to be associated among them and Is held till this day. At any rate, we have this holi- day to make merry with. even though we can give no better rea- son for our pranks than— A lit- tle nor.sens» now and then la re- lished by the wisest men. Hazel—Aren't ants funny little things? They work and work, and never play. Babe—Oh. I don't Know about that, every Ume I go on a picnic they are there. Wlx— See that man over there? That's the captain of the team.’ Weldon— Yeah? Wlx—Uh huh. See that pipe In his mouth? ’ V-ldon— Yea. Wlx— See that smoke coming out of It?” Weldon—“Sure. Wlx— Well, he did that with my match.
