This: year a decided stand was taken, not only to uphold the morals of the school, but to avoid possible injuries to students, teachers and pedestrians. Class meetings were called, the pro's stated, for there were no con's, and as no two classes could ,agree upon the course of action to take, dele- gates, two in number, were selected from each class, their decisionto be final, They decided that there was to be, henceforth, no snowballing either on the school grounds fwith one exceptionj or on the sidewalk from Main street to the high school. Anyone, upon seeing a person throwing a snow,- ball, is as responsible as the person who threw it and should hand in the names of parties involved, the time and place, and date. A box has been provided for the names and placed in the office. Furthermore, Mr. Askew stated, with restrictions, Che to be allowed to superintend all contests from Miss Landers' roomsj that he would arrange for contests between classes or groups of pupils, if they so desired, the contests to be held on the east side of the T. H. S. campus. This action should stop snowballing in the future. If not, you may be. sure that more serious steps will be taken. As it is for every student's benefit, every student must take it upon himself to hand in the names of the offenders. n

FEBRUARY, NINETEEN TWENTY-SEVEN 3 One of the most humiliating sights, is to see a youth throw a snowball at an aged person, then duck. In one case, the ball sailed over the in- tended victim's head and struck a teacher. Probably the boy will know better another time! Another example: A boy was throwing at an enemy, for he could not be a friend, no gentleman- would do that-and missed! A girl immediately in front was struck in the eye, as she half turned her head to see who was behind. The results were not only painful but could easily have led to the loss of that organ! So take it upon YOURSELF to do all you can to prevent snowballing. ' +I-'K-il I ' SCHOLARSHIP ' This is a subject not to be treated lightly, but to be really examined and studied. In the first place, scholarship means hard work. Some people are born brainy but the most -of us are not, and have to work to get a gradef above 90. Yet there are persons-I understand a fair per- centage of the school--who have passed that goal and are accredited scholars. This group of students has an advantage over the average individual that is worth noting. They have developed their brains to the point where they know how to concentrate 3 to make every little thing county and have the ability to easily and quickly grasp things. Perhaps many mo-re advan- tages of scholarship can be easilyi cited such as ease of obtaining entrance to a college, and: ease of obtaining a good job after school is over, but -the greatest lesson of all' to be gained is SELF CONFIDENCE. Without that no person can hope to succeed as easily and completely as otherwise. And we find that scholarship is not a goody-goody sort of thing, but is to be desired by every person, and having been obtained, is to be treas- ured as invaluable. So brace up. If you think there is no hope for you, there is always a brighter side, but often the brighter side depends upon your ability to stick. So don't stop and say No use 3 scholarship and success go hand, in hand and. are hiding just around the corner, 'Y'T k -'K SPORTSMANSHIP Are you a good Sport ? If you can lose and congratulate the other fellow and his success without making flimsy excuses, you are a sport! One of the most impressive of sights is to see anylathletic team liter- ally wiped the ground with, and then see them give a rousing cheer for the other fellow! When you witness that, you get a queer feeling 'round the vicinity of your most vital organ, for you know that they are true sports. Do you ever crab at the decision of the umpire--and there are more umpires than the one on the athletic field-or do you take it as a matter of fact and cheer for the other fellow? Remember, the umpire or referee merely saw that you got a fair deal. He's not hindering you but really helping you. Can you imagine a. game played without an official of any
