Wanted Ads for "Spyke"
This year, for the first time. the juniors
have undertaken the publication Of the
high school annual. They are taking a
great deal of work upon themselves as 1t
is not an easy task to edit such book.
They have started with all the enthusiasm
imaginable and if they only keep up this
spirit they can expect to edit the best
"Spyke" ever published in the II. II. s.
Advertisements count a great deal in
publishing every paper and it is not only
a help TO the merchants, but they are
great aid in defraying the cost of pubica-
ton of such book as "Spyke." There
fore, merchants of Hurley, get behind the
"Spyke" and as the high school boosts
you so you boost the high school. Co
operate with them and give them an ad-
not two or three lines but an ad. 1t will
help you in the end.
1t pays to advertise in "Spyke."

Ruggles, Tyler and Murphy, Mr.. Ruggles
acting as chairman. They, with the
drafted men, were seated on the stage
The program opened with the singing of
America by all. Mr.. Murphy then gave
a short address in which he told of the
great sacrifice these boys were making in
leaving their homes but stated the pat
riotism they showed in being willing to go
was certainly to be commended. The
Boys Glee Club then sang two songs, af-
ter which Mr.. Harold Connors presented
the boys with their comfort kits and on
behalf of all the people of Iron county
he congratulated the ten young men in
offering their services to the government.
The Girls Glee Club followed with a soug
and MIR. Ruggles called upon Geo. Pear

er OF note. Mr.. Pearson responded with
There's A Long, Long Trail" and Good
bye Broadway, Hello France" which were
greatly appreciated by the audience Mr.
Ruggles then gave short talk and asked
those present if they knew and realized
that GA former students of the H. II. S.
were in the service of Uncle Sam, fighting
the great cause of democracy. He con
cluded his remarks by wishing the ten
young men God-speed in the name of the
local board and Iron county. The pro-
gram closed with the singing of the Star
Spangled Banner.
The SOphomores have proved that they
are the real leaders of the school; they're
the first class to have a 100 per cent mem
bership in the Junior Auxiliary, Red Cross
and 1t was only few days ago that the
class was the first to boast of a 100 per
cent thrift stamp quota. The SOphomores
have been almost invincible in every
competition that has existed between the
different classes OF the high school In
the enrolment of members in the Junior
Red Cross the Juniors followed right in
the wake of the SOphomoreS, while the
| Freshmen came third. The Seniors, as
usual, have not as yet a 100 per cent
membership. There is no reason what
ever why the Seniors, who should be the
leaders of the high school, cannot back
! the movements in the school as a unit.
! lis true. that they did lead in the amount
OF thrift stamps purchased, but what the
high school wants is rather to have every
member of class back of its movements
and let the leadership in the amount of
thrift stamps purchased come after the
class has 100 per cent enrolment.
