In view of the fact that several OF
the old staff are on the Unonian an
nual staff it has been thought best
to form a new staff. It has no doubt
been an honor and pleasure for the
staff to serve the school and we are
sure the new staff will view their
work in the same light. All the de-
partments with the exception of edi-
tor and the athletic editors have
been changed. The new stan began
work this week. The editor desires
to take this opportunity to thank
all of the former staff for their CO.
operation and work in gathering
and editing the news. Without
them it could not have been done,
and they deserve all possible credit
1t can be seen by glancing over the
above that we have some live wires
on the staff at present and much is
expected of them in the future.
OF all the forces that drive hui
man beings the greatest is personal
influence. Every person sends out
what he might call dynamic rays or
invisible electrical like impulses
which are of such nature as to af-
feet other persons. These can do
either good or bad. Emerson once
said What you are breaches so
loudly 1 cannot hear what you say"
which is striking way of stating
that ones unconscious influence far
|outreaches in effect ones conscious
effort. The personal influence of
Ia teacher probably affects the
real education Of the pupil
more than anything else. 1t is
little use to worry over what you
will say or do since 1t matters little.
Simply be right and then do what
ever comes to your hand and you
will be putting forth your best eff
fort.
The unlucky fellow is the guy
who goes through a whole week of
snow and ice and stays on his feet
yet falls in puddle when it thaws.

Chapel
A very interesting and instructive
talk was given at Chapel Wednes-
day morning by Mr.. Bishop. In his
talk Mr.. Bishep compared the stu
dents with marbles and walnuts.
Everyone knows that IL marbles and
walnuts are mixed and then shaken
up the walnuts will go to the top.
Students who have the "stuff" show
up on top just like the walnuts. Mr..
Bishop urged upon us the need of
those who have been marbles to
change over. There is always plenty
of room on top, while it is some
times crowded underneath. He also
said the exams started many Of the
pupils working to do their best.
Those who fall back after exams will
be marbles. We should be awake
and alive In doing all the time. It
should be the aim of every student
to become a walnut and remain 50.
Mr.. Fulks also gave a short talk
in which he stated that he was high
ly pleased with the renewal Of the
old time school spirit at the basket
ball game Friday night.
