BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA purpose of the Boy Scouts is “to promote through organization and co-UL operation with other agencies, the ability of hoys to do tilings for themselves and others, to train them in scout craft, and to teach them patriotism, courage, self-reliance, and kindred virtues, using the methods which are now in common use by boy scouts, by placing emphasis upon the Scout Oath and Law for character development, citizenship, training and physical fitness.’ (C. Art. II.) The above paragraph will not mean much to you unless you have read the Scout Oath and Law. It pledges him to courage, courtesy and obedience, to loyalty, to cheerful service, to reverence, to cleanliness of body, mind and speech, to honor in the deepest and broadest sense. There may be scouts who slip up occasionally and let the corners of their mouth go down instead of up, when an unwelcome task threatens. But these cases are in the minority and simply mean that Scouting hasn’t entirely saturated the boy’s system. Just as the knights of old were pledged to serve young and old, strong and weak, rich and poor, so Scouts promise to do likewise by being helpful to all people at all times. Every scout is pledged to do at least one good turn daily, and this does not mean simply a regular duty or home task but something extra, something that costs efTort, time, good will, and thought. The Boy Scout organization is far from full grown, as we have just reached our thirteenth “birthday.” Nevertheless, we have acquired a membership of 533,777 strong. Scouting is great fun, but is not only fun. Scouting is stiff work, but it is not all work. It means self-denial, but also has tremendous compensations. The farther you go in scouting, the longer you remain in the movement, the stronger will be your interest and loyalty. You are welcome to join us, and thus make us stronger and happier for your coming. THE “WAYZATONIAN” digest of the affairs in our school is the “Wayzatonian,” which is put out under the able leadership of the two English teachers, Miss Uoidahl and Miss King. This so-called “digest’' is regularly put out once every thirty or so days. It consists of many things in the literary way, besides school and class news. In it you find “high class” stories, poetry by our most eminent poets, and then, of course, there is the page devoted to the wits of the school. All this for the nominal sum of ten cents! It is a well-known fact that it takes more than an editor and a staff to prepare and publish a paper, which should represent the whole school. It requires the backing of the school spirit and the student body. What the “Wayzatonian” needs is the school as a whole. Next year we hope to have ! etter facilities for the printing of our paper. Such being the case, you may rest assured that this school will have the best school paper of any school in our district providing “school-spirit” is there, too.

ookout G) THE GLEE CLUB T the opening of the school term last fall, the Glee Cluh reorganized and elected Marie Ekstrom. President; Florence Paterson. Vice President; and Viola Talbert, Secretary and Treasurer. Miss Goodman is the supervisor. On March 16, the Glee Club furnished two numbers on a school program. The Glee Club will furnish numbers later on, at a musical program. We hope that interest in the Glee Club will increase in the future, so that the Glee Club will become one of the strongest organizations in the school.
