WHAT is PERSONALITY

leadership is Personality-Plus.
Plus what? Everyone is endowed
with the raw material for the de-
velopment of a personality. but is
that material always used? No. ]
can't say that 1t is. Some of this
material is used, sometimes all of
it. but If we are to become leaders.
we must use that material.
Have you ever met people who
draw o TO them? l have and
they are the ones l would rather
be with. There is also the person
who repels you. You wish to act
mad as Hamlet did when he was
around Polonius. the advisor of
King Claudius. Such people who
repel are often lonely and wish for
someone to lean upon.
II we work hard in the work we
wish to do we will develop a per-
sonality. BY working you develop
backbone and will power and you
will become a leader and al the
same time be putting pep" into
the process of building personality.

CODY vs.. BASIN

Cody's most exciting game so far
was played Friday with Basin,
when Cody took them to a 14-12
trimming, all Cody's points being
made in the last ten minutes of
play.
II seemed to be Basins game
from the kickoff, 500 after which
Cody. having received, fumbled and
lost the ball. Basin then started
down the field with a series of line
plunges which won them a touch
down, but they didn't make the
point. due to a bad place kick.
No more touchdowns were made
in the first half. tho Basin seemed
to be getting the best end of the
play, making several successful
passes and throwing Cody for losses
two or three times.
At the beginning of the second
half Cody showed up a little bet
ter, Majors making some yardage
thru the line, but finally lost the
ball to Basin, who punted. A Cody
man failed to hang on to the ball.
and Basin. seizing the opportunity.
rushed it across for a touchdown
again. They didn't make their
point.
Things were looking pretty black
for Cody, the score being 1910 at
the end of the third quarter.
Neither side gained any ground
in the early part of the last quar-
ter, both teams punting and re-
punting. Cody soon snapped out of
it. however. and put across a touch
down. and made the point. The
world then looked a little brighter
to Cody. with the score 1871, but
still 1t seemed that Cody had no
chance of winning with the quarter
SO nearly over. However, 1t was
Cody's ball (Basin having Kicked
after the touchdown, and a long
pass to Starr, and two line plunges
by Majors put another touchdown
across. The crowd, on its toes for
the last five minutes, went wild.
When Cody attempted to make the
point, a Basin man was offside.
thus giving Cody the point anyway.
and the game ended with the score
14-12 in favor of Cody.

WHAT AN
SHOULD DO
Education does many things. /

Education does many things. 1t
helps one make money; it insures
q successful career; it makes pos
sible a larger, fuller and better
life. Another thing which it gives
is the power of attention. The best
courses of study are those which
train the mind to concentrate and
hold its attention upon a subject
until 1t CLOVIS with light and inter
est; the power to marshal all the
forces of the mind and march them
together to conquest and victory.
To be able to sit down and focus
attention upon one problem until
it is thought through, is a salts
faction that belongs to the educated
mind. The man who can do this
is the educated man. He can get
what he wants, for the world will
always turn aside to let the man
pass who knows where he is going.
Education puts a man into fell
lowship with all the ages. 1t en-
ables him to listen intelligently
while all the poets and the prophets
and the sages of the centuries talk
to him. 1t broadens his life in his
w generation. Education makes.
a man many-sided. A trained man
will observe more in a day than an
ignorant man will in a century.
At the present time. all issues
call for leaders; we need men of
thought and action, men of know
ledge, men of insight, men of vision,
whose horizon is broad, and
whose thinking is controlled by the
soundest and best principles, men
who are capable of marking out
the path for themselves and their
fellows. and setting the pace is con-
trolled by the soundest and best
for others to follow.
Education increases the opportun-
tiles for greater success. for higher
enjoyment and for a rich, fuller
life. Without an education your
child's life may be one of drudgery
without much compensation; a life

ATTENDANCE

The first six weeks period shows
that an average of only five students
have been absent each day. The
first month. attendance was not up
to standard, but during October, the
absences have amounted to one or
two a day. For a school of this
size that is a very good record. 1t
is possible, however, to improve on
this number, and make attendance
almost perfect.
Attendance is a habit formation.
There are really only two legitimate
reasons for non-attendance = sick
ness and being out of town. 1t Is
up to the student to decide. in case
of sickness. just how i'll he should
feel before refusing to come to
school. If a slight headache can
Keep him away, 1t is not long until
the headaches become frequent and
afford a fine excus If, on the
other hand. 1t is a. habit to come to
school, and to overcome small ILL
nesses, one will find 1t much harder
to stay away. This same idea will
follow the student through life.
Makeup work is never thorough
nor satisfactory. 1t is impossible
for. it to have the same value to
the pupil, because there is a good
deal of class work that is lost to
him. and 1t is hard to make up
back work and at the same time
keep up with the newly assigned
lessons.
The individual student is, of
course. responsible for his own work.
put not entirely. Parents can help,
the one way OF the other. by know

and seeing that 1t is done. No
study can be effectively pursued if
attendance is irregular.

The Cheerful Man

Avoiding strife and friction the
cheerful man proceeds; his smile,
a benediction that answers human
needs; for life is sad and firing
as ceaselessly we chase, and it Is
most inspiring to see a happy face.
So many, as they're walking, seem
symbols of despair. and while they do
their talking they sigh and rend their
hair In Winter. Spring and Autumn,
i'm Summer they lack mirth they look
as though the bottom had fallen from
the earth. They look as though dis
asters had made their lives a wreck,
as though hot mustard plasters were
fastened on each neck. And. seeing
gloomy faces, we feel that life is sad.
despoiled of charms and Graces. If
ever such it had. For gloom is most
contag iouS, il makes us want to whine
that fortunes most outrageous, when
truly it is fine. Good cheer is also
catching. and mirth is much in style.
and / am often snatching much COM
fort from a smile. The cheerful man
persuades us, just by his beaming air,
that fortune smiles and aids us, good
luck Is everywhere. The toilers, as
they teeter, observe and say. by
heck, the old gray world seems sweeter
with such a man on deck. He says,
by his demeanor. that eVerything's all
right, and he would bet a wiener no
trouble is in sight. He proves. by
merely springing a smile two cubits
long, that all men should be singing
a joyous, cheer.up song" And so the
cheerful voter spreads gladness as he
goes; he is the blithe promoter of
smiles and things like those.
