FOOTBALL MEN
 : GIVEN LETTERS
Coach Compliments Players
 On Clean Sportsmanship- Supt.,, Lang Speaks.


 The letters for the boys of the football team have now been com pleted by Miss Smith. They are very artistically designed. The "J" is in scarlet on a black football. which is placed on a scarlet background.
 Coach A. B. Phillips formally pr scnted them to the lucky boys of th team on Thursday afternoon. Each man of the team was called to She front and then received his letter from the Coach. AS each member returned to his seat he was sivel fifteen rousong "rahs'. Mir. Phli- lips emphasized the Importance of clean sport and was glad to be able to say the boys of the Juneau High School played white all through the season." He spoke of the subs as being the ones wha mode the greatest sacrifice; turning out for practice night after night, yet seeing no reward ahead of them. He men, toned particularly Arden Peabody md Stewart Holt, who didn't miss a single practice throughout the entire season. James McNaughton and Al len Shattuck were other faithfuls. | Supt J. E. Lang, congratulated the boys on behalf of the faculty and the Juneau Public School. He said | that the boys deserve. much more than this emblenla is worth in cold cash, and that this worth is found only in the institution that stands behind them. MT. Lang continued :: "To mean anything. then, our '"J's'' must represent an institution of which anyone can be proud. Such an institution can be secured only by q high standard of scholarship and good school spirit. To get these, sacrifice and hard work are neces- sary. In no small measure, we have set our goal still higher"
 We are indeed sorry that LeRoy Vestal, the captain of the team. was unable to receive his letter at the present time, owing to the fact that ho Is recovering at Dawes Hospital from a recent operation. His "J' will be delivered to him at the hos pital. t" ts&d taf

EDITORIAL

The slogan in the school now is HELP THE GIRLS" By this we tlo not mean to help them In their daily tasks and duties but only tc help them to earn some money 50 that they can send the Girls Basket ball team to Wrangell. Certainly they deserve it for they have won all their games except the last one which went to Douglas after @ hard fight. It would be easy for the boys to go to Ketchikan for they can travel steerage, but the girls cannot, and to go first-class means that more money will have to be found in their treasury. The whole school is be- hind the Help the Girls" movement and if it is at all possible the girls will reach Wrangell and bring back victory to the Juneau High School.
