DEBATE

The debating season for the Miller
teams closed with the Brookings de-
bate on February %. A practice de-
bate between Miller and Rec Heights
was held in the high school assembly
on February 20 in which Miller won
by a 2 to 1 decision. On the twenty
third a debate was held with Brook
ings, there. Brookings won by a 2 to
1 decision. This put Miller out of the
League for this season. The teams
did as we'll as could be expected con-
sidering 1t was the first year for the
majority Of the members. A great
amount of credit, and appreciation is
due Miss Smith for the time, and con-
sideration which she gave the debates.
We hope she will be with us again
next year to continue the debating
work. ,.
Next year the teams must &c still
farther, at least clean up Brookings in
return for the two defeats we have
suffered at their hands.

this girl, became Ruth Lawton, adopt
ed daughter of the Judge.
He had given her a home for eight
years, and when she became eighteen
years of age, he had sent her abroad
to school.
Lawton had then moved to Bloom
ingdale, and had been constantly CIV
ing large sums of money to Orphans,
but. utterly without the knowledge Of
any one but Ruth.
Now she was coming home after five
years abroad, she would be twenty
three, but she would still be his little
Ruth.
The next day at 2 O'Clock the North
bound limited pupped into Blooming
dale. A beautiful girl descended,
looking about her saw Judge Lawton,
and rushed into his arms.
The crowd on the station platform
gasped. Who was this beautiful girl
that had seemed so overjoyed at meet
ing Lawton? Surely he had no rela-
tives! but the mystery was not solved
until one day the to~wnspeople noticed
that on the large hill a building was
being erected.
AS Ruth walked down the street of
the village she was stopped by an &C
quaintance, Ruth what is being err
ected on Lawton Hill?" she asked.
why! don't you know" asked
Ruth that is another Orphans Home
that Daddy is having built. then she
added with a smile. you see | am an
orphan
Thus the news became circulated,
and Judge Lawton was looked upon in
another light.
That night Ruth asked the Judge,
why Daddy, did you let them think
you an old miser?"
The old Judge shook his head and
smiled. because l knew they would
find out their mistake sometime" then
People that judge too barshly, and
without cause most always do"

Society and Sports

Glee Clubs OF Miller High School put
on a minstrel show at the Opera House
February 20. The entertainment con-
sisted of a good many old Southern
songs sung by both Glee Clubs with
solos marked in. The setting was the
yard of an old cabin home. The picg-
aninnies served to liven things up with
their songs and dansrng. Aunt Dilly's
jig raped the climax and brought a
burst or applause from the audience.
The costumes we're appropriate for
the occasion, consisting of bright coll
ored dresses and sashes. The program
closed with a patriotic medley. There
was a large attendance and we may
safely say that everyone there enjoyed
every minute OF ii. II is one more of
our big successes for this school year.

BOYS BASKET BALL TEAM

Doc" was captain, and mainstay of
the team this year He played at right
forward. He's a terror at taking the
ball down the floor. aud in nearly all
the games he made the majority of
our points. This is his last year and
he is leaving a vacancy that will be
only too apparent next year.
Mick McCarl makes up In speed
and slipperyness everything he lacks
in size, and he has a terrible "eye'
for the basket. He played left for
ward.
"Perc" played at center and altho
he is not as high a scorer as DOC"
he is there when we need him most,
He works into the team work per-
fectly, and is the backbone of the
teams defense. We expect him to be
our star next year.
Buck" played at left guard. He is
a good man on the defense and he
uOVo NV V any ohC NY anu at inc
same time he plays a great game on
the defense and he is good on long
baskets.
Jimmie" eats EN- alive. The more
they come his way the better it suits
him. They % learn that it is i'm
possible TO go under, over or around
him.
Greene" played forward and when
he was in the game he never stopped
or even slowd down.
Charlie" also worked as a forward.
II sver there was such a thing as
condensed animation and 60. 1t all be-

"THE MISER"

4 IHL hhDLh
"Here comes that miserable old man
Lawton down the street, he Is too
stingy even to pay carfare. and mother
says he owns millions"
This conversation passed between
two school girls, who were approach
ing an old man, he appeared to be
about seventy years Of age. He pass
ed the girls without a glance and pro-
eeeded slowly on his way. Evidently
he was on his way to make another
nickle as people would say.
Judge Lawton was not held very
high in the esteem OF the village of
Bloomingdale, New Jersey.
1t was known that several years be-
fore he had became heir to a large
fortune, but he had made no effort to
better the conditions of his living, and
people considered him as a miser.
He lived in an old house surrounded
by tall pine trees and a beautiful gar
den.
People said that the only thing low
able about Lawton was his garden.
II was midnight, the lights Of the
village we're all out, but Mr.. Lawton
was a~nxiously walking back and forth
across his study floor.
Tomorrow she will come, | wonder
If she still loves me, If she still cares
for her old Daddy"
Years ago Judge Lawton had lived
in the suburbs of a larg 'ity. 1t was
a cold night, and he had been startled
by a cry outside his door. Upon open
ing 1t, a little girl rushed into the
room, and sank upon the floor %sobbing.
ooh Please Mister don't let them
take me-"
There, there, little m come over
here, and warm, and then tell me what
is wrong"
He led the little child over to the
fireplace, and when she was warmeH
she told him her story. Her father,
and mother we're both dead, and, she
was sent to an Orphans Home, she
had not been treated very well, and
thus had spent many lonesome days.
Then one day she had escaped, and
now she was here. When she finished.
her story she broke down, and cried.
"Oh Mister / don't know who you
are, but please don't let them take
me-"
A knock on the door and an officer
stepped in.
Pardon sir, but this little girl must
come with me-"
Judge Lawton turned, as he heard
a cry behind him, then he said: "No
| will keep her, and give her a home
with me-" ana so it came about that

HIGH SCHOOL DANCE

On February 25, in the High School
Gym, the first High School dance was
held. About sixty high school stu
dents attended 1t. They we're chaper-
oned by Mrs. Bentz, Miss Pierce, and
Mr.. Cooper.
AS the school is an institution of
learning. they kept II such, and under
the instruction OF Miss Clemmer many
students were given their first lesson
In the art of dancing.
AS the evening progressed the punch
bowl became dry, and the students
decided to call the dance a great sue
cess.

only the ability but the inclination to
give unfaltering support to the school
and to everything which it undertakes
Then where have we failed? Have
we not organized a football team, a
basket ball team, a debate team, and
two glee clubs? Have we not support
cd these, our representatives, in all
their contests and in all other activ-
tiles?
Yes. But not with the proper spirit.
Our interest has not been of the right
sort. We have supported these things
for a selfish reason, because we were
interested and not because they were
school activities. If proof is desired
for this statement we need but to look
back a very short ways.
Take for an example the behavior
OF the student body at a basket ball
game. Suppose you, a resident of
Miller, had, out of a sincere interest
in the school, come to the game. You
may have been a bit late; what do
you see?
First you are, very likely, unable to
find a seat. Although a group of high
school boys are sitting down, none of
them offer you a seat. The girls can
be seer down near the other end of
the gym giving the high school yells.
The boys as a whole do not help them.
No. They like the business man, have
come TO be entertained. They retain
their seats, eat peanuts, chew gum,
and holler, Sa-a-a-a-y! Wha-a-at?
occasionally.
Is this an illustration of a good
school spirit? No. 1t is rather an
illustration of the sort or spirit which
will breed disinterest and disgust on
the part of the townspeople.
The students who do not do their
best for their school hurt it. They
all may have the pep, the loyalty, the
enthusiasm. that make for a good
school spirit. But they are not voci-
ferrous enough in their demonstration.
Basket ball is over now and all other
winter activities. But a good school
spirit can be demonstrated in many
ways. An athletic contest is rot need
ed as a medium of expression.
Show your spirit py complete and
voluntary cooperation with your in
structors, and by boosting and adver-
Using your school at every opportun-
ity.
DO not be ashamed Of your school.
Be proud Of il. Stand up: Face the
world; and say. II am from, and | am
for Miller High School,"
