Many teenagers leave school to find a job; then, betore they know it, it s too late to do anything about it. We should all realize the importance of at least a high school education and believe that it is our job to go to school. E. Cushman EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIES IN A SMALL HIGH SC HOOL The advantages of extracurricular activities in a small school are many. All students have a chance to take part in something. Everyone has an opportunity to participate in sports in a small school; whereas, in a larger one, only the best athletes have a chance. Some people may think that sports are a waste of time, but while the children are playing and practicing, they are also learning cooperation, fair play, and good sportsmanship. Public and Prize Speaking plays an important role in extracurricular ac- tivities. Some children are afraid to appear in public, but after taking part in these activities a few times, they will feel at ease when they have to speak. When we have plays, each person who wants a part can have one. It helps him develop self-reliance and overcome fright. Of course there are many disadvantages as well as advantages. One disadvantage of extracurricular activities is that some students take part in so many activities that they don't get their school work done. Some stud ents participate in sports who shouldn't because of their physical health. In larger schools students are required to take physical examinations which many smaller schools do not have. Extracurricular activities play an important part in high schools; they keep students from becoming bored, with the result that many stay in high school just for sports or some other activity. THE MEANING OF GOOD SPORTSMANSHIP My idea of good sportsmanship is never to get angry about losing a game, or about a referee's or official's or judge's call in any sport. It doesn’t always have to be the best man that wins. Don’t be a one-man team; it takes five, or nine, or eleven men to make a team. Never lose your courage or give up. If you want to win very badly, you must fight right through to the finish. Get along with your team; work like a team. If a bov or girl is a poor athlete but has good sportsmanship, he or she is as good in my mind as the one who is a good athlete but a poor sport. Ellison Henderson
