HIGH SCHOOL WORK A REAL JOB There is a tendency to look upon high school work as being something less than regular employment in its demands upon the time and the effort of pupils. Too often the time and the effort given high school work is less than they should be. The source of this difficulty in high school is the belief that high school work can be done during the school day and without any outside study. ' The approximate time spent in our school is six hours per day or thirty hours per week of five days. Those of high school age who leave school to take up other employment must work approximately forty hours per week. Satisfactory high school work can hardly be done in less than this amount of time, but that means finding ten hours each week, or on the average of two hours per day for outside study in addition to the thirty hours spent in school. Very frequently the difference between unsatisfactory and satisfactory high school work is found in the amount of outside study. It is my'ooinion that satisfact- ory high school work demands as many hours per week as the average out-of-school job. Those concerned with this Question of the proper amount of time to be given high school vork .'.1 can get helpful information from either of the following sources: ll take any group of high school pupils doing successful work and find out how much time per week they are giving to their studiesg or C25 ask any group of high school graduates what they would advise. ' In view of this question I think all 'parents would do their children a real service if they made, at various times, a check- up on the time given to outside study. - ' I -'R.

SCHOOL SPIRIT School Spirit is one of the requisites that a school must have to be successful. What is School Spirit? It is loyalty, faithfulness, work- ing for a school to be better and of more service to all. It is standing behind athletic teams whether winners or losers. It is enthusiasm and participttion in all school activities. School Spirit can be shown by discharging tasks cheerfully, be they difficult or easy. This year Standish High has not seemed to lack School spirit in any respect. ,The entire student body has worked in behalf of the school interests--randy to help in 5 y project contemplated. This past autumn our school has sold marfzines. The :cosy obtained from the sales has procured for us a radio, which has presented us with several entertainments. The boys this year entered into athletics with Nach spirit and enthusiasm. They have been loyal, faithful to their teams and school. In basketball, almost all of the games hfve been victories for us,much to our joy. Our girls started a basketball team, the first that we have ever had. Although many games have dot yet been played this year, because of the lateness in starting, the team con- templates several games before the season closes. , Participants in the Prize Speaking Contest woried hard to make the affair successful. . If a schiol lacks School S irit, sooner or later, the effect will be visible. If students can not cooperate in school activities, a disintegration inevitably risults.
