bumps and bruises and basketball will

the star forward of last year will not
be here, but Greene, Simons, Burns,
Runger, Titus, Zimmerman and Nc

the splendid chances we have for a
successful season Of basketball, con-
cluded saying, the second team will
be nearly as strong as the first"

Miller IL TT. Pierre .
Three won, one tied and two games
lost, is the present record of Miller
His football warriors. At the OPEN
ing of the season some twenty-five
men reported for practice. There
were only six Of these who had any
knowledge or experience Of playing
football. These six had only the ex-
perierice of two games a year ago. In
their words, previous to last year
none of them knew a football from a
punching bag"
Under the excellent coaching of Al
Schroeder, a college football star, Mr..
Damberg. our Manual Training teach
err, also a college star, and especially
prof" who stars in everything, we
gradually worked together a fighting
machine hard to beat.
Lowell Greene was elected the team
Captain. He is full of fight from start
to finish and has been responsible for
the fighting spirit Of the team. His
brainy strategy and encouragement
are well known to all the boys on the
team.
Percy Runger is our smashing full
back. He hits 'em like a ton OF brick
and stops opposite line plunges the
same. He missed the Pierre game on
account of injuries received In prac-
tice. Had he been there, well we
might have a different story to tell.
Charlie Burns, the fellow who char
ges with the ball and tackles like
creased lightning, is our left half
back. Charlie isn't very big nor does
he weight very much, but man, the
way he can go! His punt catching
was a feature of the TT. Pierre game
and in a way saved the day for Miller,
Mr.. T. r. Simons, better known as
"Simons" is the man who takes the
ball when we're in a pinch and have
to have a few yards. He alternates
in playing right half and fullback,
His line plunges have been the feature
| of several games. But say! have you
ever noticed the dainty little handker-
chief waving so vigorously from the
| side lines when Roger takes the ball:
We can hardly blame him for fighting
so hard when we understand the
"psyschological' reason.
Arc Zimmerman, popularity known
as Jimmie" plays right half. Did
you see Jimmie" pillow thru the FIT
| Pierre line for a touchdown" on Arm
istice Day? Well that's the way
Jimmie" goes, His fierce tackline
and line plunging are outstanding In
all Of his playing.
Now comes the line men. Because
in injuries to certain players on the
line many changes were at times ne
cessary.
Charles Bohen plays right end. He
Is the star pass catcher of the team
Charlie can catch any thing you throw
at him If it comes within reach OF his
paws" Charlie maze a brilliant

DEBATE

The debating season will begin
about November 18th. The "Towner-
Sterling Education Bill will be debat-
ed by most of the high schools thru
out the state.
Miller His prospects for a debating
fteam look good. Ethel Bentz, Lowell
Greene and Charles Burns, all took
part in active debating last year.
Miss Smith, the head of our debating
dept. remarks that there is splendid
material in the school for one or more
debating teams" 1t is merely a ques-
ton of getting them interested. One
thing sure, we must get Brooking's
scalp!

ART EXHIBIT

November 20, 81 and % marked a
gala, three day exhibit of art in the
Miller High School. 1t would be diff
cult to attempt to describe the collec-
ton of famous prints and pictures
that were exhibited on the walls Of
the lower hallway.
The works of world renOwn artists,
from the time of Michaelde Angelo to
those of the present day, were present.
Every conceivable phase of life could
be seen, described in the glowing lam
| guage of paint and color.
We gaze with wonder and ever
| ence at the Angels Faces and the
Last Supper" only to marvel at the
| sublime expressions we see. Nature
brings to us new raptures as our eyes
behold Beneath Cooling Mountains"
or the Waterfalls" The color Of
THE Blue Boy" and the dashing fear
l~essness Of THE Arabs" alternate in
holding us in admiration and awe.
| The coliseum" tells its mute tale
of history in ages past, while the
| Spirit OF rs" reflects the national
| spirit that burns today i'm the hearts
Of the American people. And, so we
pass down the hallway admiring this,
criticizing that, sometimes failing to
appreciate the beauty of n Or he
spirit of the other and seldom think
ing of the hours of toll and adversely
some poor artist experienced to give
the world and us, his inspiration.
The students of the high school pro-
vided entertainment at each Of the
three evenings of the art exhibit. The
first, evening light refreshments were
served in the form of doughnuts and
coffee, the second evening the HI
School orchestra gave a delightful
concert, the third evening a candy sale
was held.
The exhibit fulfilled a twofold mis-
sion; 1t gave the students and other
visitors an insight to the realm OF
painting and pictures, and thru the
selling Of copies of certain pictures
and the sale of tickets and refresh
ments il obtained money by which
duplicates Of these pictures will be
bought for the school.

LOOKING BACK

In looking back the three long years,
| have in high school spent;
There comes to me a feeling keen
or itching discomfort.
A long, long trail, it seemed to me,
-Four years OF high school toll;
or subjects hard and studies dull
tried them all to foil.
There are many things, today | wish
In the past ] might have done;
A little truer to my school
And more friendships begun.
The endless tasks of toll and work
Were only but the keys
Which opened up a wealth of joys
Of friends and memories.

A Greed For The Students Of Miller
Hiuh

I'VE will never bring disgrace on
this, our City, by any act of dishonesty
or cowardice.
I'VE will fight for the ideals and the
sacred things of the city. both alone
and with many.
I'VE will revere and obey the City's
laws, and will do our best to incite
like reverence and respect in those
about us who are prone to annul them
or set them at naught. We will strive
increasingly to quicken the public
of public duty.
Thus in all these ways, we will
transmit to this our City, not only, not
less, but greater, better and more
beautiful than it was transmitted to

Much CONNIE mt is heard concerning
the strict regulations which prevent
any time being spent socially and in
getting acquainted" A few moments
used by the students each day in this
manner would unquestionably bring
about stronger fellowship, cooperation
and school spirit. Two short periods
a day, $3.50 A. M. to 900 A. NJ. and
from II Don to 12:45 would perhaps
be the most suitable. It would be
well for the faculty to give this seri-
Gus consideration.

EDITORIAL

dards and ideals; as voters and tax
payers of Miller Twp, it is yours to
maintain and improve in the way of
room and equipment.
BY those familiar with the high
school and It's crowded conditions, a
growing need is felt for a new and
more up-to-date building. The enroll
ment this year is 165 students. Twice
that of six years ago and 81 more
than that of last year. The present
high school is capable of caring for
144 students. 1t means that at present
there are II students more than can
be handled properly.
The greatest argument for a new
high school is the growing need Of 1t.
There are other reasons just as i'm
p%ortant.. A modern, well equipped
high school. large enough to care for
the future as well as the present, Is
an invaluable asset to any town or
community. 1t is the greatest and
best argument with a prospective citi-
zen.
AT present every available space is
being put into use to lessen the crowd
ed conditions. Crowded rooms is not
all that the students have TO contend
with. Half of the 165 students are
required to study for two hours a day
in a room effectively lighted and ven
tilated. This means poor eyesight,
poor health and poor results in school
work.
The money spent in a new high
school, campus. gymnasium and equip
ment will, in the final analysis, bring
the largest dividends. It will make
u town a drawing card for new citi-
zens, while educating the young people
who will be the determining factors
in Miller's future success.

Music

Once again here as schoolmates as
sembled,
We fain would lift our hearts in song"
The old high school song rings out
to the accompaniment of Miller Highs
Glee Clubs, Girls and Boys) her or
chestra and her band. Truly we have
a wonderful department of music this
year. IL volume is the foremost fac
tor, then consider first:
The Girls Glee Club
At present there are sixty-three
girls in our glee club and Mrs. Olson
reports the frequent enrolment of
new members. Every class Is repre-
scented and so great is the enrolment
that it was found necessary to make
two divisions, one of which meets on
Tuesdays and Thursdays, the other on
Wednesdays and Fridays. The glee
club is under the able direction of
Mrs. Olson. The Girls and Boys Glee
Clubs gave a joint concert at the be-
ginning of the year and they plan to
give an operetta soon. The girls have
been working hard and have been
rewarded by their successful concerts.
Boys Giee Club
We are proud of our Boys Glee Club
and although their members are less
numerous than the Girls Glee Club,
still they are just as worthy of men
ton. This glee club of which Mr.,
Cooper is the competent director, is
comprised of twenty-eight members
and consists of four sections, first
tenor, second tenor, baritone and bass.
The first tenor section contains few
est "warblers" although it is by no
means any weaker for that reason,
The boys have been doing excellent
work and just now are looking for
ward to a short and snappy minstrel
which (the boys say), will be put on
Exclusively" by themselves. Watch
for the date!
Orchestra
And there is the orchestra. We are
proud of it too. The orchestra has
already given one joint concert with
the girls and boys glee clubs, which
proved to be a decided success. TWEEN
ty-four pieces comprise the orchestra
and in addition to last years equip
ment"-(we call EN- instruments,) we
have cello and saxophones. Mrs. Oh
son is orchestra leader.
Band
Last but not least, for there are
twenty-seven of US. I'M the band
You haven't heard much from us yet
but we are only waiting until we get
tuned up right and then we expect
to give a rare musical treat. The
band, of which Mrs. Olson is director
also, is preparing for a concert some
time in January. Watch for the Date!
In summary, we vote the music de-
partment the greatest success it has
ever been and we "say it with music!'

Wouldn't 1t be fine to have Assem-

at some of the boys when we sing

tony of continued recitations and
