High School Bulletin
By the Students of the Liberal High School

Just what does basket ball mean to
the boy you ask and / will try and
tell you one or two of the many
things. Basket ball helps him physic-
ally as it is an aid in developing his
muscles and in making him stronger,
quicker, 1.-THE and supple. 1t helps
him mentally as he sees the need for
fair and square playing in every
game and what is life but a game
which we all must play; a great
thrilling game with the greatest ref
cree. 1t helps the boy to see how
little despicable is the fellow who
cheats and is crooked. You have each
played to win the game. You boys
of our basket ball team. And still
in the world you are playing to win
in a game that is more than it sens.
So boys that are playing for old
nineteen, play game that is fair
and square, play in way that will
help when you go from school to the
world out there.
We regret the mistake in last Bull
letin, regarding the Saturday school.
The information was merely hear
say and did not come from an au-
thentic source. The state accepts
credits from high schools if half of
the time is made up. This is the
minimum requirement for schools to
maintain their standard of accredit-
ed schools. 1t has always been the
policy of L. H. S. to do more than
the minimum requirement so it is
possible that that school will continue
to be held on Saturdays. Three more
extra days will make up thirteen days
(half of the time lost during the
quarantine) but it is likely that will
not complete the makeup work.
Tuesday morning, special chapel
was held in honor of the new class
Just entering. Miss Henry had
charge of the devotional period which
was followed by every one singing
"Litoria," the school song. Gene
We've Strickland in behalf of the stu
dent body, extended greetings to the
class of 1922. Her remarks were
clever and we'll given. In rhyme she
characterized the faculty SO that
each new student might know his
teachers. Mr.. Rindom representing
the faculty gave splendid talk or
the Importance of careful attention
to school work. His words of advice
and warning were heartily received
His remarks served to emphasize thu
serious side of school life, tho he en-
couraged the students not to over
look the social side. Mr.. W. H
Woods of the Alva, Oklahoma STATE
Normal Schools, gave a short ad
dress on Education in the Period Of
Reconstruction. By examples Of
educational systems of various coun
tries he showed that the nation tha1
stresses education is the nation thai
stands highest.
The Geometery 2 class are having
a review. About one hundred ques-

handed in by Monday. Better gel
to work and get them so that you will
get a good grade.

Value of the Study of Latin

Value of the Study of Latin
Latin is one of the most if not the
most important studies. Every one
should study it no matter what he in
tends to do.
One-half of the English words are
based on the Latin. For instance
nearly all medical words are Latin.
Also in the study of law a knowledge
of Latin is needed.
Caesar was perhaps the greatest
general the world has ever known
As Latin was his native language
surely people would like to learn OF
him and his great leadership.
Latin should be a required subject
in high school, as we are more APT
to use it after we have finished schoo
than we are apt to use algebra or 9th
err subjects.
In the study of Latin one learns
many important things which he vii
use in life after he has finished hi:
school work.

THE STOCK MARKET

Trade In soms companies has been

Expansion OF business In the

large scale and the demands upon
the money market have been so
great because OF the increased costs
OF everything that enters into our

has been under a strain for the past
few months interest rates reaching
high levels but nevertheless eSpan-
sion has gone ahead In the face OF
this and there IL no slgn OF any
