1 K ' y 'R TEAM Edgar Harding is our center, The one who tips the ball, The one who begins the battle, When the referee gives the call. Forseth and Johnson are forwards, The very best they are, Neither one can be better Without being all state star. Schroeder is guard for protection He helps keep the enemy awayg And with the help of Markell To the enemy spell dismay. Bonlie, Tree and Anstett as subs, For forwards and for guards, When one of these places are vacant They take the place of their pards. Coach LaMeter is the man of the hour, The best U. H. S. ever saw, Let's give a yell for the team now, Come on Austin, U. rah! rah! BASEBALL As the Flickertail goes to press, the baseball team is being organized. A meeting was held in the History room which was well attended. Victor Bonlie was elected manager and Roosevelt Forseth captain. Money was ap- propriated to purchase material. The boys all agreed to stay till the end of the season in spite of victories or defeats. They intend to enter the campus league and schedule games with a few outside teams. The prospects look promising for a good team. A number of the players have played with some of the stronger independent teams, and others are reported good players. As things look now, Rosie Forseth or Victor Bonlie will be the twirlers and Sander Urdal or Wilbur Anstett will do the catching. The batting ability is somewhat in doubt but if we judge by the size of the to-be-players they ought to do well. It has been a number of years since the U. H. S. has had a baseball team and the organization of the one this year is looked on with keen interest.

EDITORIAL THE VALUE OF A SMILE One of the greatest things in business, yes, in all walks of life, is a real, pleasant smile. You Will note that smile upon the faces of all the big, successful men, you will see it upon the countenance of the eiiicient execu- tive, you will look for it upon the faces of all those folks whom you like best. When that pleasing smile is absent, you feel at once that something is decidedly wrong. You find it a pleasure to do business with the happy, smiling storekeep- er, and you will form the habit of visiting his shop at frequent intervals. The smiling salesman who calls upon you from time to time is always wel- come, and you don't mind saving orders for him, even when he slips up on a regular call. You are fond of a great motion picture star because of his Wonderful smile, and the traffic officer near your place of business is on your list of friends for the reason that he always wears a friendly smile. And, why is it that you enjoy telling a certain little newsboy to keep the change '? The foreman in a mill or factory who understands the utility of a pleas- ant smile, gets things done with no trouble at all, while the foreman with the face of a mummy is continually losing men, and is in wrong even with the apprentice boys. The foreman who knows how to use a pleasant smile to good advantage in the work-rooms is a wise man indeed. His men actually delight in co-operating with his orders to the fullest extent. The thing that goes the farthest Towards making life worth while, That costs the least and does the most, Is just a pleasant smile. It's full of worth and goodness, too, With genial kindness blentg It's Worth a million dollars, T And doesn't cost a cent.
