ALMA HIGH SHOOL

The regular meeting of the Athena
society was held in the high school
November II. Ii was decided that
the society would join with the
Lamba Sigma society in giving ban
quet for the House Of Representa-
tives and the football team. The
program of the evening dealt with
the life and characteristics of the
Indians. Miss Lyons gave an inter
esting report on Indian characterize
les. The roll call was answered by
quotations from "Hiawatha." Miss
Archer gave a report on an Indian
legend supposed to have taken place
near Saginaw. The Indian braves
were calling on the Indian maidens
with the exception of the one with
which the story deals. She noticed
this and thought that it was because
she had so many wrinkles in her face.
So she tied strings to her ears and
under her hair. One night hand
some brave came to her campfire and
he thought that she was so beautiful
that he kept coming. One night the
strings broke and the brave disap-
peared, never to return.
We have now came to the time
when this proberb should be thought
fully considered, judging from the
lack of material collected by the
school reports for the column in The
Alma Record
Monday there is grand rush and
by class time the "deskmen" have
about four hastily and poorly written
reports instead of sixteen The SER
lous condition of no work with no re-
suit is brought before the class. In
answer to the question. "Why ?"
Haven't had time" comes from
those, who forget that every week
has only seven days. We forget that
we are here to work and accomplish
results.
This applies not only to one class
but to all classes. Did YOU ever not
zee the flock of people who gather in
the library all after the same book
on Monday morning? Ask the stud
ents Of history on English how many
of them have their note books ready
10 hand m this week. You will find
a small minority-why? They didn't
have time and kept putting it off ex-
pectlng some day TO have time The
leaders IN the Junior Red Cross drive
which was launched Monday will tell
you that most Of the students put off
bringing their quarter until after
noon. Students let's reason this thing
out for ourselves. Lets try doing
things on tire for one week and see
the results.
A Junior Red Cross campaign was
begun Monday The presidents of
the four classes appointed members
IN each class to get the subscriptions
Tor memberships. Every class is
trying to see which one will have one
hundred percent membership first.
