The Wolf Point school has don
its best to stack up the $4,000
600 total for chewing gum. Ic'
> cream and candy are often use'
for food and should not be classet
as luxuries. Ask any golfer if hi
clubs are a luxury. His answer
would be, 81 play poor golf will
them; what would be my score
without them"

Self Education
In the last analysis tbs final
educational outcome always comes
back to the amount of ordered in
~tellectual effort put forth by the
student himself. Teachers and
books and all the rest of the edu-
%cational equipment are simply
aids to this end. Essentially, ed
ucation is always self-education.

A large number of the school
children enjoyed the matinee Of
"Laddie". Many Of them called
It the best movie ever shown in
Wolf Point. 1t certainly showed
the ideal home. Many such homes
can still be found in America to-
day if we look for them. Such
homes give America her solid
foundation. Our Gang" is more
popular than ever.
Some of our rural schools wish
that vacation could be extended
through January.
Basketball
Twenty girls were out for bask-
et-ball practice on Friday. Twenty
five boys were out on Saturday
afternoon. We r glad to see SO
many out playing for the fun of
the game. Inter-group games are
just as interesting to the players
as i~nter-school games. Because
of the condition of the roads, we
have cancelled all games up to the
holidays. The boys will play at
Plentywood, Outlook and Williston
during the holidays. Williston
boys will play their first game at
Bainville on Jan. 6. We have not
been able to schedule any games
for boys or girls with Glasgow.
Christmas cards have been re-
ceived from Ely McCown and
Sadie McManigal. Ely is in
Nebraska City, Nebr. Sadie is a
student at the Dillon state normal
school.
The ice rink is the finest we
have ever had. The bitter cold
weather has kept many of the
skaters indoors.
Volley Ball
The Volley Ball club is still
growing. Don't stay away because
you are a beginner. All of us had
to learn the game. Come on out
and polish that eye for the golf
ball next spring. When you hear
the players go after the referee or
scorekeeper, you can easily mag
in that you are in the midst Of a
Poplar-Wolf Point baseball game
in the good old days"

end to all of you a sincere wish

Need Piano for Grades
Sometime we hope the Wolf
POINT school will have a small
iano on the second floor for the
enefit of the children in the inter
1ediate grades. The piano would
clip much to advance our vocal
