! What would have been great dis
aster turned out to be only small
loss by the quick thought OF Joe
| Weaver. On Thursday last Joe, hav-
ing permission from the teachers,
went out to his weiner wagon to see
| if everything was in readiness for the
| MONDAY rush. What he found and
the course he took will make him re-
membered at Dawson Hi by our chill
dren and children's children.
Instead of rushing into the school
and telling what he had found, know
ing that it would instantly cause a
panic among teachers and pupils alike,
Joe in his own quiet way, remedled
the trouble and no one would have
known it until this day had not our
star reporter accidently stumbled on
same.
Toe went out, as said above, to see
if everything was in readiness for the
noon rush and found that the gasoline
stove, which he kept burning low,
had gone out. Special commentator
is given Joe for the GOODNESS of his
actions in borrowing match and re-
lighting the stove in order to have
hot weiners for the lunch period.
CURRENT VERSE.
The thing that makes us feel so blue,
That ole exam;
The thing that worries me and you,
That ole exam;
The thing that fills us both with fear,
Makes six months SO near,
Causes us to repeat year,
That ole exam.
What we try but seldom pass,
That ole exam;
The horror of most ev'ry class,
That ole exam;
/ Some weep and wall, Whene'er they
fail,
Some cry and bail and bite their nail
But do we rail, whene'er we fail,
Don't give a-ihappy.

EDITORIAL.
In the DAYS of George Washington
boy at the age of fourteen was pre-
pared to enter some of the biggest
colleges in the country, while now a
bow of fourteen is hardly capable of
entering high school. We believe that
this method is not wise; we would
suggest that fewer lessons be given
and more time devoted to things
which pay more.
Take boxing, for instance. Jack
Dempsey makes more money in one
fight than the president does in sew
eral years. SO leave off history and
teach boxing.
Movie acting is another paying
trade, and should be substituted for
languages. Baseball players make
huge salaries, and all study along this
line should be given preference over
books.
All in all we believe that things |
which mean more in future life should |
predominant over the books.
