Raw Material

This years crop of Freshmen is ex-
ceptional, in fact we have not seen a
better crop since the present Sopho-
mores were Freshmen.
They are very easy to get along
with; they do not make any noise
when reciting, they do not try to stu
dy, they would just as soon funk as
not and delight in staying after school.
or course they still indulge in a lolly-
pop now and then, but that is to be
expected. To see two little Freshmen
girls looking at more than one boy at
a time is unusual for, you see. they
are still very bashful.
The boys and girls still have to be
helped into their o~vercoats and over
shoes, but what can you expect of
Freshmen. JUST the other day a
Freshman got into a fight with an
other boy about some toys they we're
playing with in science. He was bad
ly scolded by the teacher who made
him stop crying and wiped his nose,
He Is still sullen ana sometimes pouts
but the county nurse says we must
not spoil him by letting him have
everything his own way.
1t is true they sell numerous tic
kets for basket ball games and other
programs but who could resist their
and childish faces.
Foolishness aside. They have done
very well owing to the standard.
furnished by the class before them.
They made a real beginning by select
ing a real live class teacher. Since
then Freshmen events have been full
of pep, efficiency. and ability. They
have made a showing in many out
side activities, which promises well
for the high school. We hope they
cut their eye teeth early as experience
is a part of the high school course.
We are roofing for the Freshies,
may they all become Sophomores by
and by.

ten people from Miller vent to Huron

Second Stage

After the first stage OF development
the product is called Junior. Although
still unfinished, signs of what 1t may
be are very distinct.
The present Juniors are a more
promising lot than many Of their kind.
They show marks of speaking ability
in both oratory and dramatics, instru-
mental and vocal musical talent, skill
in athletics, and sometimes we imagine
there is a spark Of genius among
them along the poetical line. We can
not toll definitely what they will be
but all signs show that they will be
worthy of Miller High.
OF course we grant that Is yet they
are not perfect; the Senior stage Of
the process finishes them. That pam
Juniorism must be removed; they
must have a dose of spine -starch, their
noses must be put into casts so as not
to turn up so much, their ears need
pressing and then they must be given
a coat of sociability. After these pro-
cesses they must be put through A
stiff test; then about June, 1929 they
will be ready for market.

Man Is Only A Monkey

For those interested in evolution
and in monkeys, the pesthouse main
tanned in this city has held many at
fractions. There are several different
kinds of these animals in the local
house. Each kind has distinguishing
characteristics.
The prominent feature Of the Cebus
is the manner In which they hold their
text books. These they gaze at enrap-
tured. although no one has yet been
able to tell their purpose in such be-
havior. The Mystica seem to exist
for enjoyment, and make much effort
to have this realized. The local race
is not contrary to tradition in their
grinning and eating, which they do
constantly. Love-nuts are the latest.
addition to the menu.
The activities followed by these
wild animals are very interesting.
One group known to the scientists are
the "Howlers," meet in the East
room and howl, at which art they are
very accomplished. The "Yellers"
are similar to the :sHowlers" In their
means of amusement. They perform

turns. During the fiscal year. two
groups of yellers we're formed, who

Very vigorous exercise is taken by
certain tribes in the cellar Of the
pest-house. The purpose OF the ex-
ercise lies in throwing a ball through
a loop. At these gatherings the howl
ers also assemble, and enjoy them
selves in their barbarous manner.
Perhaps one Of the most interesting
spectacles that greets the civilized
visitor is a group which meets BIZ

SPECIAL HOLIDAY

The pupils OF Miller High School
were at last rewarded for their un-
ceasing labor, and steady grinding at
the great educational program, to the
extent OF a full holiday on Good Fri
day. Both pupils and teachers waded
thru the many blizzards to the little
old schoolhouse five days out OF every
seven. On their arrival they toiled
for seven long drawn-out hours, turn
ing the pages Of education day by day.
For one hundred and sixty-four days
they kept this up and at last received
one day TO breath the pure air OF
South Dakota and feel the shackles OF
education lifted. to run free. and dis
port themselves as little children. But
such is the reward OF virtue. Joking
aside, AL. ! think II was our spring
vacation.

THE USE OF THE CIGARETTE

This is an old and long discussed
topic, yet it is not a worthless one.
This topic should be preached on un-
I'll every young American boy has seen
and understood the real harm in the
cigarette.
The best way to stop its use is first
to take the boy who has not used 1t
yet and make him understand it's
harm, SO that he will never use It.. II
You are too late to do this, take the
boy who has formed the habit and
make him break II however difficult;
not by force but by teaching him its
harm. Then give him not days but
weeks to reform and he will overcome
the habit, the breaking Of which will
mean more Il his life than all OF
Rock dollars.
Many boys say that strong men use
the cigarette and 1t has done them no
harm. The men never used 1t while
they were young boys or the effects
are not yet evident; but will show on
them as age approaches. The des-
cendants OF these men will show the
effects of the habit. They will fall
below normal either physically or
mentally or in both ways.
This does not have an effect ON a
single person alone but on the whole
nation. IL every boy starts smoking
now In America. our good nation in
days to come will not rank with
England or France as a great power
but will become a lesser power as
Russia is today. DO we want this to
happen? True, this nation will not
become weak Immediately, but give II
time and 1t surely will IL the young
men do not stop smoking, for they
will be the leaders Of tomorrow. Ev-
eryone that realizes the value of his
country and every one who wishes
this nation to live should himself stop
smoking and then help others to stop.
Miller High School does not want

girl who falls either mentally or ply
sically short. We want to be victors

club has been a success. Besides be-
ing a help to the girls in many ways
it has been a source of entertainment.

THE WORKER

One day | watched a little tree !
AS 1t grew and worked like a humble
. bee;
1t grew loftier and taller
Mightier, not smaller,
But only through working
And not by Sinking
Did that little tree, .
Grow to be a giant, did he.
But after all it's hard working
1t stopped it's lurking
And lay
Down n day
In its mighty grave
Like a lite knave.
And as it lay
There. 1t told me the way;
And as | thought
Why is a persons life so wrought?
That one dies
When he becomes lofty and wise.
And after all his hard working,
And not any Sinking,
Slowly but surely the answer came
From those lofty boughs Of fame;
II told me that only the worker
And not the shirker
Is made happy and wise,
And let rise up into the skies.
Then let's make it u motto:
To be workers
And not shirkers.
Grow loftier and taller,
Mightier not smaller,
Wiser and happier,
SO when we die
And in our graves we lie,
Others will say "Oh N.Y."
The only way
Day by day
To keep a smile
Is to make life worth while.

The Sophomore Glass has made a
most magnificent showing in Miller
High. We have outclassed the other
classes not only in her school work
but also in outside activities. To es-
.tablish the fact we have statistics to
show. We, the Sophmore Glass, had
five boys and three girls on the bas-
|ket ball teams, five boys and seven
girls in the glee club. nine in the band,
four out for debate and three on the
team, two out for oratory and one
took first place. and IN out for de-
.clamation. Where are the other
classes?
Our only regret is that we have
only two more years in which to set
the standards Of achievement in Miller
High.

success to their class adviser, Mr..
