Mr.. Middaugh's talk was
along the lines Of thrift and
habits of saving.
He gave the students these

note books: One hundred

do. and one is rich.
ITO which class are you go

sixty-five years old" asked
Mr.. Middaugh. 1.-THE class to
which you belong Mt that age
rests with you alone. Your
teacher. superintendent, prin-
cipal. father nor mother. can't
save money for you. You may
make all the money in the
world today and turn around
and spend it. and tomorrow
you'll have nothing to round
out your career" said the
speaker.
MIR. Middaugh had one of
the pupils put II column Of fig
ures on the blackboard. of
three figures each. Almost as
soon as this young lady had
completed the problem. he
placed the answer on the
blackboard.
Other problems of horizon

were illustrated on the board
by Mr.. Middaugh after which
he explained how he does it.
and told how one student in a
Colorado high school almost

add correctly two columns at

Recollections of last Win

dition and subtraction were
wildly reviewed by this en-
pert dealing with figures. and
that the students most highly
appreciated Mr.. Middaugh's
lecture and practical illustra-
tons was shown by the warm
encore given him when he
ceased.

Local Boys Do Well


Competing against seventeen high
schools of the state who have had
track teams before; we were able to
finish in 9Th place. Douglas Stewart
won 3rd in the discus throw and End
in the shot put. There were twenty
competitors in each event. "Stew"
should be there and over next year.
John Ziemer won End in the quarter
mile run after one of the prettiest
races of the meet. Dick" should be
an easy winner next year. Schultz
qualified in both hurdle trials but was
not fortunate enough to place in fin
ais. Lester will prove a dangerous
man with this experience. The other
members of team who did good work
failed to win were Johnson, Scott, and
Engeman.
