... ... . THE GLEAM. I . 29 .1 , school every morning keeps the pupils in touch with each other, and develops that feeling of unity which is so essential to our Wellfareland school spirit. ' I . The Lad!!! Gorpg. I , In other Ways, too, our school has developed. This year the boys organized 'a cadet corps. What high school is complete without one? None, surely. Our boys were quick to see this and after much planning and plotting, suc.ceeded in organizing a corps of thirty-tvvo members. The cadets are getting on beautifully, and We are proud of them. 4 I Afhleties. - We have yetlto see the body of boys 'and girls who are not interested in athletics. Our' pupils are no excep- tion to the rule, and although We have no gymnasium We have tried to do something in athletics this year. The boys played football and basket ball an havenovv or- ganized a track team. The girls also have an athletic association for basket ball and tennis. a In addition, We boast -of a dumbbell club. I But what can we hope to accomplish in athletic With- out a gymnasium or an athletic field? Although We have the material in our school, Without a coach and a gym- nasium, We will never be able to make the record that we ought to make-that We are able to make. It was the hope of the Senior class to get a gymnasium for our school. We found this impossible, but We have at least kept the ball rolling. Why can't we have a gymnasium? Are the people of Independence too poverty-stricken? No! It's not the money they lack, it's the spirit. Independence, wake u ! No high school as large as ours should be Without physical culture. Let this be the last year that the pupils of our school shall 'be so handicapped. Give them a Gymnasium and you will soon see that the money in- vested therein is not Wasted. 1 Schlnile.

THE G LEAM. ' 31 Now I lay me down to rest, To study hard Iive tried my best. If I should die before I wake, iWhy, then, Ilve no exams to take. The best thing out-an aching tooth.

The Goal. up , To climb a litle toward the height, ' To brighter make the world for others, To sow the seerl and spread the light, To teach love for our struggling brothers 3 To follow in the ways of truth, u To m-eet the trials of each to-morrow, To keep the hope and heart of youth, Tho' age steals on with hurt and sorrow. To learn our burdens to endure, To loyal be, though others fail us 5 To keep our spirits sweet and pure, In spite of all who may assail us. Toadd to the world's joy and mirth, I To render fair the path of duty, To sprinkle sunshine o'er the earth, To see in all things hidden beauty.
