"TRACK"

Miller is going out ror track. This
decision was made at a meeting of the
high school boys last Monday evening,
April End. There has been a good
deal of talk in favor of a track team
this spring, but due to the fact that
we have been playing baseball this
talk was not taken seriously by many,
but, as we have recently discovered,
conditions are not so favorable for
baseball as formerly in spite of the
fact that we have much good material.
The reason is that We shall not have
any other school to play; both High
more and Pierre are developing track
teams at the expense of their BASEBALL
teams: and Rec Heights and st. Law
renee will have no teams.
Altho we are sure to miss the base
ball we shall not regret this decision,
as good base ball material makes good
track material, and more can particle
pate in track than IN baseball. In adj
dition to all this, track work this
will &c a long way toward
building up a football team for next
fall. And after all, football is the big
sport i'm all schools.
Our team will probably go to Pierre
to participate in the meeting to be
held there sometime lin May. II a
good showing is made there the boys
may get to go to. the high school meet

THE COMMUNITY BUILDING

Miller is one OF the most progress
siye towns i'm South Dakota and is
always ready to do anything to help
this reputation. For a long time
people told each other that we needed
a better auditorium, and a new gym
nasium for the High School and fin
ally a community building. At last
the High School showed conclusively
to the community that such a building
was essential, by its showing at the
Basket Ball tournament and by fill
ing the present auditorium to over
flowing. Once this became a realiza-
ton, the town was not slow in voting
it's immediate construction. Now our
dreams are soon to be realized COM
pletely and we will be able TO accomo-
date the crowds at all entertainments
and will be able TO have a better bas-
ket ball team, with perhaps a tourna-
ment. 1t is an advance step that the
community may we'll be proud enough
of to brag of it to every one. Miller

CRITICS REPORT OF
3JUNIOR

The town people and High School
students evidently thought this JUN
TOR PROGRAM" was going to be
good, for the first thing ! noticed upon
entering the theatre was a large
crowd. True to their expectations it
was good, in fact, it was very good,
but like most everything else it could
have been improved on.
To begin my criticism the first
number a song, Hats of Other Days"
was repdered very well but the hats
displayed, bore too much resemblance
to hats of '23.
The second number, 1t was a farce,
entitled THE Lamp Went Out" For
yor who we're not there. must say
II was well acted and much talent
brought to light. However il would
have been more effective IL the moon
had been yellow and not silver, also
IL the lamp had been lit anu a gentle
breeze from someplace or other had
blown it out.
The third number, a piano duet by
two capable girls stirred the audience
very much flor many feet began to
move), however 1t would have been
more complete II a flag had been plac-
ed some where rear the piano flor the
duet was Stars and Stripes Forever.)

@ART COLLECTION,

The Normal Training Club has
wisely invested incoming funds in
pictures. Real pictures! Pictures
from the master artists of the world!
Among them you will find master
pieces from ancient artists as well as
recent artists. They represent the
United States, Italy, France. Germany,
Russia and several other countries.
They summon our interest; they de-
veiop our sense of appreciation OF
beautiful things. Look at a picture
once, twice, a dozen times, and each
time there will appear new objects
in it: study 1t and you will acquire
the deep meaning, the artists motive
for painting it, and the sense of the
blending of harmonious colors.

DIR ALIMNI

Perhaps the MOST essential thing in
the making of our High School is u
alumni. They have gone to NJ. II. S.
and have boosted her to the position
in which she now rests, or the posi-
ton from which we must continue to
boost her. ..
Perhaps sOme of them have lost in
forest in their old home of learning,
but there are others who are boosting
nearly as much, if not more than some
of our students. We appreciate this
loyal support of these helpers.
AS students of Miller High we must
show our appreciation to the alumni.
In order to do this we should get
acquainted with these graduates.
Why not have a picnic and have all

FOREIGN COMMENT

The State Legislature cut down ap-
preparations for education for the
coming year largely on account of the
present boomerang of several parties
against the present Superintendent of
Public instruction. The only thing
that saved education was the petitions
from communities throughout the
state. How the lawmakers OF South
Dakota can disregard our Normal
Training, Home Economics, and Ag-
ricultural departments, our rural
school superintendency (such as 1t isl
compulsory school attendance officers
and their work, we cannot understand,
knowing the value the people OF the
State have obtained by these things
the past few years. II is hoped the
people of South Dakota in selecting
their next legislators will choose men
and women who will realize the value
and need of state participation In our
educational system.

The indUcement of a trip to Pierre

because they have never done any
