DEPARTMENT NOTES
Social Problems

The two social problems classes con-
sist of Juniors and seniors. The first
six weeks were taken up mainly with
research work on the beginning of the
universe and man. This gave the stu
dents a general idea of how man has
progressed and it also prepared them
for the subjects taken up in the text
book. These subjects in the text are
the problems of the American DEM
ocracy. At the present, the class is
studying on ways and means of elevat-
ing American standards.
Social problems is half-year sub
ject; that is, only the first semester
is devoted to its study. Economics
is studied the last semester. Dagny
Hassell is the instructor of these sub
jects.

CARBON BASkETEERS DISPLAY
ABILITY IN OPENING GAME
OF SEASON.

The basketball season opened with
a bang last Saturday evening, Dec.
/, at the high school gym, with Carbon
versus Laurel. After the town teams
had played their game, the Carbon
and. Laurel high schools met, with
Eli Tuuri as referee. Laurel displayed
splendid fighting spirit. They were
under a disadvantage, as some of their
regular players were not able to par
ticipate in the game because of sick
ness. Carbon boys presented fair
game for their first one, with nothing
The game was fast and furious
from beginning to end. The suspense
became great during its procedure.
At different times the score was close.
The game was as follows:

loosely belted with a sash which ties
at one side, and which may be used
as separate dressing gown if one
desires.
Many are the uses to which these
sets are adapted. They are admirable
for travelling and just the thing for
that hour of chat in front Of the fire
before The lights are out.
In the more formal versions, in
lame, velvet or metal cloth, the lounge
suit takes the place of the tea gown
for informal dinner or bridge.
Ever since the Lido discovered the
pajama and gave it its place in the
sun. women have been fascinated with
the possibilities Of this garment.

REPRESENTATIVES PRAISE
CONGRESS-

Carbon high was represented this
year st the girls vocational congress
at Bozeman, Nov. 21-25, by Mary
Kolarich and Olga Karhu. This was
the fourteenth annual convention, the
first being held in 1914. Una B. Her.
rick, dean of women at Montana State
college, possesses the great honor Of
being the founder of this splendid and
growing congress. Some of the pro
minent speakers at this years meet
ings at the convention were:
Dr.. Esther Allen Cav, dean of wom-
en-, University of Ohio.
Miss Helen M. Bennett, managing
director of Women's World fair, Chi
rago, Ill.
Isabel Craig Bacon of the federal
board of vocational education.
Miss Mary U. Egan, Dillon Normal
college.
Teachers Of the Montana State col
lege, Bozeman high school and public
schools.
The object of these conventions is
TO transmit, via the delegates, the
messages brought by these women
from all over the United States; to
help the girl Of today find her life's
vocation. 1t used to be that teaching
was the only genteel profession for a
woman. After the World war things
changed, and women have been steadi-
ly rising and becoming more useful.
There are wide fields of endeavor in
art, home economics, science, litera-
ture, library science, music, education,
physical education, agriulture and
secretarial work Under all these
heads are many, many smaller divi-
sions. In some of these branches Of
work women must compete with men;
in others they have the work all to
themselves. The twentieth century is
a century of women. 1t is no longer
a disgrace or shame for young
woman to go out and work for liv-
ing--it is an honor, almost privilege
to go out and work for your city, your
state, your country.
BY work we mean interesting work,
work which is not monotonous, work
which is not toll, but work which we
enjoy doing, that it seems like play
because we like to do it. AS in one
of her speeches, Miss H. Bennett said:
aWe toll in the morning when the sun
is rising. We have no time then to
go out and see the beauty and glory
of new day. We toll at midday
when the sun is in the middle Of the
heavens. We toll in the afternoon
when the sun beats fiercely on the
earth. And we toll when the sun is
sinking to rest" She stated that we
do this every day and every day till
some day somebody going by will
exclaim: "Why, how natural she
looks"
Both girls seem very enthusiastic
about their trip to Bozeman and re-
port that they derived much benefit
from the convention, their only regret
being that all the girls could not at
tend.

OUR SCHOOL SONG


"Carbon Carbon! Carno1 County
High!
Carbon Carbon Carbon County
High
For you we fight, for you We sing,
for you we do or die!
Hurrah for Carbon County
For Carbon County High"
This is the song which was chosen
as the song of the Carbon County
High school, but the way some Of the
students sing it one would think it was
just popular jazz tune.
When singing this song why not
sing it as though we meant it, as
though we were proud of Carbon and
willing to fight for her?
-Four of our best years are spent
in Carbon high. We work there and
play there.
We learn to love our school, SO why
not express this love for her in our
school song?
Eight times the word Carbon ap-
pears in our song. Let's sing it with
spirit and as though we loved the very
name.
Continuing the song-"For you we
fight you ready to fight for
Carbon and ready to back any enter
prise she may undertake? If you
are, then sing it as though you were
eager to fight for her.
"For you we sing, do or die This,
like the first part, should be sung
with expression. Let the whole world
know you're willing to fight, sing, do
or die for Carbon!
Then end the song with a big
"Hurrah for Carbon County, for Car
bon County High!'-R. L.

meeting of great interest here in the
high school. New members were well
coined. All members were not pres

UNIORS ARE READY TO
PRESENT THEIR PLAY

The juniors are ready to present to
the public Friday night their three
act mystery comedy, "Square Crooks" !"
The practices have been successful
in spite of fact that the cast were
hindered by colds. The play ought
to appeal to the audience, as should
the acting as well. 1t is certain that
the people will get more than their
moneys worth. Anyway, the juniors
have worked faithfully in order that
they may please the audience.
A matinee will be given Friday aft

Schmidt's Speech
Climaxes Program
THANKSGIVING PROGRAM IN
CLUDES VARIOUS ORATIONS,
SONGS AND YELLS.

Concluding the school week and
heralding the start of brief Thanks
giving vacation, an assembly was held
by the public speaking class, glee
club and yell leader. The program
was as follows:
Introductory Poem Agnes Carlson
The Heavens Resound Mixed Chorus
Tribute to the American Pioneers.
..............,,................. Rae Love
Volga Boatmen....... Boys Glee Club
Mussolini's Call to Arms. ..............
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS. Guido Marehello
My Spanish Guitar. Boys Glee Club
Tribute to the Jews. Elgar johnson
Coolidge's Thanksgiving Proclama-
ton ........................ Agnes Carlson
Phil Pollard then conducted yell
practice. At first the vocal efforts
of the students were rather discour-
aging, but when the sons and daugh-
ters of Carbon finally woke up, their
cheers resounded through the portals
of the school.
At the conclusion of the program
Principal Schmidt cleared his throat
and started, as we thought, the GUS
tomary message, "the faculty wishes
you very happy Thanksgiving.o
But never did the student body receive
a greater surprise. With a piercing
glance directed at the basketball bows
he administered a scathing rebuke
that penetrated their nonchalant
armor. He proved the theory that
there are two sides to everything. If
the members of the team want student
support, they in turn, should prove
worthy of the proffered helping hand
Closing his speech with few more
direct and concise words, G. r.
Schmidt dismissed the assembly.
Nothing could have been more effec-
tive than this sensational plea. The
team supporters agreed wholeheart-
edly with the principal, and kept in
mind the golden maxim: "The team
must help the pullers." Il. J.

0Wnie Bush Lets Loose
Some Dynamite; Win
Five Straight.
HURLERS EFFECTIVE
Big Bats of Stars Beginning
to Work.
BY HARRY FERGUSON

United Press Stah Correspondent
NEW YORK, July 12.-Ownie
Bush has tossed some excess cargo
overheard from his Pirate craft and
Pittsburgh'S course seems set
straight for the first division, the
lower part, at least.
The Pirate team that won its
fifth straight game yesterday is a
changed club from the one which
walked dejectedly out of the Yankee
stadium last fall after taking it's
fourth defeat from the Yankees in
the world series.
Kiki Cuyler is missing. John
Miljus, an in-and-out pitcher, was
sold to Cleveland. Earl Smith, vet
eran catcher, has been released and
Glenn Wright may be the next one
TO go.
Dash and Fire
Those changes started bringing
results week ago. The dynamite
that has been lurking quietly all
season in the bats of Grantham,
Traynor, Adams and the Waners
began exploding; the teams base
running took on dash and fire, and
most important of all, the pitchers
suddenly became effective.
Burleigh Grimes is hurting with
all his old cunning; Erwin Brame
and Carmen Hill held the Phillies to
four hits yesterday; Lee Meadows
may round into shape any day.
Barney Dreyfuss, owner of the
Pirates, is willing to do anything to
get a winning team. He can't afford
to have any other kind, for Pitts
burgh fans have never been willing
to support a loser.
Accounts for Trades
That accounts for the trade that
brought Hargreaves from Brooklyn
to do most Of the catching. 1t also
accounts for the Aldridge- Grimes
swap, the Cuyler- Adams trade and
the benching of Wright in favor of
Bartell.
The Pirates always have gone
down the stretch fast. Usually they
are a so per cent better team in
August than in June. They came
up from the depths last year to tear
down through August with a win
ming streak that brought them the
pennant. Flushed at the thought of
his f1ve-game run of victories. scrap
py little Ownie believes his club
finally has shaken off its depression
and is due to climb.

of these slips he let it be known

that his career could be set be-
hind him by anything that might
happen to him in the coming fight.
