other skin eruptions and that makes the
skin soft, clear and healthy.

The MAGAZINE as a School Factor.

Inc magazine 90 q 0SHSOl = dShoIs
Within the past two years the maya
zine has made its way as text book
into Fairmont High school. Previous
to this time 1t was being used In the
schools Of large stiles. Its beneficial
effects are being felt very keenly as
the students Of the English and his
tory classes in which 1t is being
studied take very great amount OF
interest in the work. The magazines
that are being used are the very best
non.partisan magazines that can be
obtained.
The sophomeres are delighted with
the American, which is recognized as
a superior story magazine. The Jun.
iors study the Literary Digest while
the Seniors study the Independent,
which is used in the American History
class to a great advantage.
Two days out of the week are given
to the study OF the magazine and the
recitations are very interesting. Each
student has a report to prepare and
an oral recitation is given by him. This
Is a great help to the student as he
gets the opinion Of the most eminent
modern writers and also learns to dis
cuss topics in an interesting and In
telligent manner.
The modern periodical will be Of
great benefit in school work from now
on.

aThe Roofing Tournament"


An unusually large number of stu

Of attending the state tournament at
Buckhannon. From all indications it
is expected that Fairmont will have
a record breaking crowd there. In
past years the crowd representing the
Fairmont High school has been COM
posed of loyal alumni rather than
members of the student body.
A roofing tournament will probably
be conducted in connection with the
basketball tournament. Fairmont tIigh

Smoke.
Smoe is something you all have seen
1t isn't red or It isn't green,
Some of it's black and some is white,
It's always visible day and night.
In 1t you see all sorts of things,
Visions of lovers and wedding rings
OF armies in their grand array,
And mighty trees in the wind that
sway. /
Castles built upon high mounts
Lords and mobiles, dukes and counts,
OF meadows green and rock hill
And then again your pipe you fill!
You see the vision of your love
In the smoke high up above;
You see her as you're sitting there,
She has beauty, she is fair.
You only wish that she would call
Or down beside you she would fall,
Then your pipe dies gently down,
The dimness causes you to frown.
It's getting DINNER all the while
You think you almost see her smile;
Just when you think you hear her call
You find it's just smoke after all.

Requirements for GRADUATION.

Some time ago It was thought ad.
visable TO raise the number Of hours
required for graduation from the high
school This charge was made IN Or
der that our school might send forth
students who were prepared to full.
fill the requirements OK the colleges
and universities that they desired 70
enter. Formerly, one hundred fifty.
two hours of credit we're required In
order 10 graduate from the high school.
But, beginning with next year. one
hundred sixty hours will be required.
One hour" means one recitation per
week for one semester. Thus five
hours means five Rotations per week
during one.half year, and SO on. The
members of the present Senior class
will be permitted to graduate under
the one hundred fifty.two hour regu-
lation, since they will not have time
to adjust themselves to the new re-
quirement.
In view OF the fact that one hundred
sixty hours or sixteen units WI be
necessary for a diploma next year,
every student should carrY>forty hours
work each year In order that he mag
make regular progress toward gradui
atiCn. 1t is necessary that q student
have at least thirty hours of completed
work in order to be classed as q Soph-
omore; seventy hours to be classed as
a Junior; and one hundred ten hours
to be classed as a Senior. Students
will find 1t better--and much easier
in the end-to keep their work up to
the required amount each year.
The high school awards four kinds
OF diplomas as follows:
First, diploma will be awarded on
a general average OF sixty.five per
cent.
Second, diploma with credit on a
general average of seventy-five per
cent.
Third, diploma with honor on a
general average of eighty-five per
cent.
Fourth. diploma with highest hon
or on a general average Of ninety per
, cent.
Strive for the last one, highest
honor diploma. No matter IL you do
think 1t IS out of Jour reach when you
begin. make 1t your aim. Remember
the famous quotation from Emerson:
If you ever expect to get above the
tree.tops, you must hitch your wagon
to a star" Most of us fall short Of
our aim so let us all aim high; then
the point we finally reach will be rela-
lively high. Work for highest hon
or diploma and your efforts will bring
you joy and happiness at your gradua.
