THE QUESTIONABLE

Should the Mountain Home Higl
School publish an annual?
Everyone likes to remember theil
school days and this is one way OF
preserving them. 1t will not only
stimulate school spirit but it will
create a stronger interest in inter.
scolastic work.
Margaret Lewis.
am in favor of publishing a high
school annual.
Fred McEachern.
The high school should not publish
an annual this year for the term has
advanced too far and to make the
annual a success the students should
begin at the first of the year to col
lect material.
Alden Norell.
We Should not because there
would not be a large enough sale to
defray expenses of publishing one.
We could not sell more than fifty
and at three dollars apiece they
would not pay by far for the print
ing.

HIGH SCHOOL QUILL
THE BENEFTTs OF READING

THE BENEFITS OF READING
OF the three sources of knowledge,
namely: experience, observation and
reading, the latter is probably the
most common and helpful of them
all. Any book contains unlimited
amount of knowledge but to the
average reader only a small portion
of it is available becaus it lis not read
as it should be. To actually get all
the knowledge a book contains it
must be read very carefully, skip
ping no so called passages, and every
part of it must be completely ana
lyzed
There are many subjects ON which
to read, mainly history, geography,
literature, poetry, fiction, and also
practical subjects as spelling and
arithmetic. In most any library
there are books on all the subjects
and now days they are as a rule very
complete.
1t is too bad now books are not
read for they contain knowledge,
which is valuable for everyone. From
the few books Lincoln read he OBJ
tanned a complete education because
he read them so carefully.

GLEE GLUE ORGANIZED

Last Thursday evening a prelim-
mary meeting was held for the pur-
pose of organizing a Glee Club. The
vote was unanimous in favor of this
action; and two delegates were ap-
pointed to see Mrs. Wetherell and
find out if she would undertake its
supervision, and what event n g s
would be most convenient for her
to practice She very kindly con-
scented to take charge of this work
and will devote Monday evening of
each week to the promotion of this
organization.
The high school eagerly looks for
ward to splendid results and from
the keen interest being shown there
should be no difficulty in making it a
success.

miles Las returned to the spot wher,
he had first encountered and left the
Mystery Lady bound under the sage
brush.
He returned to see if she had beer
considerable enough to leave him
some clue as to how she had got
loose and TO obtain the rope he had
bound her with, as it was more than
likely she would leave it there and
not trouble to pack it off.
He found no clue as to how she
could have got loose, but his rope
was neatly coiled and hanging on a
branch of the sagebrush. A note was
tucked into the honda. ell pulled
| the note out and opened ii.
A fading bitter smile crossed his
lips as he read; IF you don't sue
coed at first, try, try again" He
slowly crushed ii in his hands and
showed it into his pocket.
Then mounting Silver he turned
him up the trail towards Fire City.
Dawn was once more crawling in
from the east. when Las rode up to
the stable in Fire City.
The owner, a short, dried up old
fellow with rheumatism in his legs
was just leading a tall rangy bay
horse out of the stable.
"Howdy, stranger. Ridin' all
night?" he asked all in one voice.
"Yep," Las answered, got any
feed here for any decent horse?"
q suppose" came a feminine voice
from behind, my horse isn't fit to-
eat with such as yours?"
Las turned to confront the speak
err. A smile touched his lips as he
took al step backwards in surprise,
but in a moment he had gained con-
troll of himself and casually lifted his
hat and said in his usual tone OF
voice to the Mystery Lady he had so
many times encountered. why, no,
Miss, 1 wasn't referring to any horse
in particular"
Without deigning to notice him
rode off.
He watched her till she disap-
further she mounted her horse and
peared over the brow of the hill. He
then led Silver into the stable, UNI
saddled and fed him.
'Who is she?" he asked the stable
owner.
"Oh, she's sheriff of Fire county
and humdinger too" was the nom
committal reply.
Las had good control of himself |
by now and though this revelation
set his mind off on a new trail, he
did not show his feelings in any way

s0pHoMoREs DEBATE

Considerable interest has been
shown the past week in the ways
and means of formulating speeches
and questions for augmentation and
debate. 1t eliminated Friday morn
ing when two questions we're consid-
cred.
Daniel Mclaughlin, Pearl Smith,
and Evelyn Fields for the negative,
won over William Wheeler, Gladys
Goodall and Vernon Davis, the de-
eision being unanimous. The ques-
ton discussed was; Resolved, thai
the high school should participate 10
interscholastic athletics. The APP
posers brought forward, with some
degree of emphasis, that the time
lost, the amount of money spent and
the lack of real physical benefit OBJ
tanned from interscholastic events
were not sufficient value to warrant
supporting such an issue.
Enthusiasm was shown in regard
10 the ever present question Of the
amount off responsibility that should
be placed on individuals. The ques-
ton was formulated; Resolved, ina
the honor system of conducting ex-
aminations should be inaugurated IN
our school. CCeal Phelps, Alma |
Nixon and Anna Yturri, for the neg
alive. won the decision of the judges
by a vote of two to one.
The outstanding points in their
argument were that such system
1ad proved impractical in many other
high school, that the students do mol
make the most of the responsibility
placed upon them, and that the
for some pupils is often
700 great to resist
Those pupils who upheld the az
irmative argument were: Charles
Helm. Katie Denten, and Iona Grove.
