who have made good one could sug-
gest:

one year and is now city mail car
rier in Liberal.
Chas. Tucker graduated from L. H.
S. in the class of II 4, studied law un-

was elected clerk of the district court
of Seward county.

These are only few of the many
Alumni who have made good. In each
issue there will be list of successful
business men and women who fin
ished their high school education in
Liberal.
The agriculture class took short
the study of hogs Monday.
The Latin classmen all seemed to
welcome Miss Henry back after her
weeks vacation.
Some of the seniors seem to be get
ting too wise. Anyway some of them
seem to be having considerable trou-
BILE cutting their wisdom teeth.
AS Miss Briener entered the room
to give forth-hour geometry class
their usual instruction, she noticed
several boys assembled in one corner
of the room and they evidently
seemed to be creating quite dis
turbance. Boys" she exclaimed, Il
thing word to the wise is sufficient"
Joe Black what would it be for
us, them" Miss B.: Just like pour
ing water on ducks back"
Rev. Taylor Speaks in Chapel
At the regular chapel period Tues
day morning Rev. Taylor of the
Christian church spoke to the student
body. His message was one of help
fulness and one full of meaning. He
said in part: High school students
are not worth much. They wouldn't
be i'm school If they were. 1t is for the
preparation for complete living we
are in school, The Creator has EN-
dowed us with powerful power OF
intellect; therefore get wisdom.
The steam engine, the telephone, the
automobile, and photograph ar won
derful inventions, but they are by nc
means the greatest The greatest in
vention the world has ever known is
the 26 letters of the alphabet, for
thru this medium we have our litera-
ture. We usually waste one hour
each day. One good book can be read
in ten hours, so from the age of IL
to 22 everybody could read $50 good
books; this would bespeak well read
man or woman.
