element that is always pulling back, the element of criticism.
 A short time ago a business man of this city informed me that the of ficials of the school were grafters. Well, who gave these officials their positions? For myself. I know little of politics and would probably not know a grafter unless he were labeled, but this I do know: The Phoenix Union High School is a good school but certainly 1t is not nearly so good as it could be, shuld be, and would be if the business men of the city would devote to its improvement the time and energy which they now utilize in criticizing it.

 I think the most needed thing in Phoenix Union High school, is polite ness. Politeness to everybody, your teachers, classmates, and friends. If you are polite, people will form a better opinion of you, and that counts a great deal in any high school. The only way possible for everybody to be polite, and to respect your teacher and the laws of the school, is to obey them, and trying to be polite to ev- erybody. Just try this and you will see for yourself. Phoenix Union High school, is a wonderful school and the largest that I ever attended. So I think that we should all be proud of its rank in education.

 The benefits of high school edu- cation are so numerous that it is a very difficult matter to discriminate as to which is of greatest value. However, among other things, I con- sider the advantage a high school education has given me in selecting a vocation is of greatest import. MELBOURNE HILL
 That which I admire most in Phoe- nix High school is the relationship which exists between the faculty and the student. The day of the school master with his proverbial hickory stick is over The modern teacher is an instructor and not a policeman. Last but no least, the teachers of Phoenix High work with the students | and not over them.

 Some conditions of our school that need to be corrected and how it could | be done.
 Girls uniform In Phoenix Union l High school is one of the most talked | on subjects. There are a few girls l that absolutely refuse to wear mid | dies and skirts and it seems that if | these few are not made to wear them 1 this uniform law is going to fall | through again. I think that the girls that wear uniforms should make the 1 others feel out of place and show | them they are disobeying a law of 1 their own school.

 The best thing about Phoenix Union High school this year is the school spirit. Coyotes! Weren't you all just swelling with pride the day the Fl Paso football team came here Didn't you yell when the yell leader directed you to? Did you want E Paso to think this isn't such a deat school after all? Every loyal Coyote had that feeling, I know. We have had more spirit, too. at the games and more of the students have turned } out for them this year. Let's con [ tinue our school spirit and have nor 5 and more each year until we shall b } nationally known for it. What d r you say, Coyotes?
 JOSEPHINE BAPTISTE. The best thing about Phoeni i Union High school Is her wonderful spirit. Visitors who come to ou
 school exclaim at it and she is know
 far and wide for it. In spite of har ' times when the athletic ticket ] campaign started this year the schoC
