Are You One of Them?
II seems as if few of our high
school would like to lower the
standard of the school. These
Students are svery far and few be-
tween; they do something that they
think is very clever. Certain
things are done now and then which
lower the standard of the student
body inasmuch as stricter rules
and regulations are laid upon the
students shoulder.
If You were in the manual train
ing class, would you want a lot OF
privileges taken away from you
lust because one boy threw soap
all over the roof in a certain
room? What would you do? He
might be your best friend, yet he
would have to be told, in manly
way, that it was the wrong thing to
do. If this would not help any,
the case would have to be submit
ted to a member of the faculty.
Would you be telling on this lad
just for the sake of telling! No!
You would not, you would be pro-
tecting your own rights. Let
the whole E. H. S., get together
and round up these people, and tell
them about their wrong doing, but
do it in a manly way.

handmade brushes, cunning wood
, en- toys, paper cutwork, varieties
of sewing such as embroidering,
crocheting, and hemstitching. But
the one kind of handiwork which
particularly merits recognition is
the handmade rugs made by the
children themselves. These are of
various sizes, prettily designed.
Each pupil is required to make one
rug, and upon completing this, is
entitled to weave rugs for the
public at price, thereby earning
little for himself.
These are some of the material
lines along which the pupils of the
Opportunity Room have thus far
been successful. They earn through
habitual practice.
The browning sign of success is
the binding qualities that have
been developed among the pupils

happiness. One thing which goes
to prove that happiness is the
biggest accomplishment here, is
the fact that while at work, the
pupils may be found singing or
