JUNIOR RINGS ARRIVE

The Junior Glass rings have arrived
and as result the Juniors are happy.
They have waited anxiously for some
time, and now that they have arrived
it is believed that they will be able to
concentrate more on their studies.
Anyway the teachers hope so.
I'll bet the Seniors wish they were
Juniors again so that they might en-
JOY that pleasure once more. There
is little doubt that the Sophomores
wish that they were advanced one
year, if only for one day. The Fresh
man, however, remain quiet and only
admire the rings They say that their
time is coming.
The rings are very pretty, being
made of white gold They are engrav-
ed with the words "Carbon Co. H. S."

engraving are the numbers 1880, the

opinion the Juniors really have some
thing to be proud of. r. c,

CARBON SHOWS GOOD SPORTS
MANSHIP

At a yell rally held Tuesday after
noon, Coach Hartwig gave few rules
on good conduct during the games. Be-
cause this game was to be with our
ancient rival, Bearcreek, Hartwig ask
ed US to "bottle up" our feelings and
to refrain from the RAGING that
seems customary when a contest is
waged with our friends over the hill
The students evidently absorbed the
advice Of the coach, for their conduct
was irreproachable. Even when our
opponents were forging ahead, the
woebegone students applauded their
flashy plays. Perhaps it was some
what halfheartedly, but no one is ex-
pected to cheer wildly for the oppos-
ing team when it is winning. The
Bear Cat supporters derided the Car
bon players and hackers until it was
almost impossible to keep still. At
the close of the game, however, Car
bon valiantly defended the honor of
its defeated team, and left the aggres-
sive winners riding around the streets
yelling yea, Bearcreek"

Limit to Train Speed
Under Best Conditions

When railway beds have been made
as nearly perfect as possible; when
the lines have been Strengthened and
as far as practicable leveed, and
when the best types of locomotives
and cars have been devised how fast
will steam be able to carry US?
An answer to this question. based
on a scientific examination of the
conditions involved, Is furnished BY
an authority on facts relating to rail-
roads. Cne hundred miles an hour is
about the limit of speed suggested
Another very important question
growing out of the first is: Within
what distance can train running 100
miles an hour, or but little less than
80 feet a second. be stopped? The
reply IS that under the most favor.
able conditions distance of nearly
half a mile would be required. A
train running mile minute can be
stopped, ii Is estimated, within a dis.
lance of 900 feet. BY adding only
two-thirds to the speed, therefore the
distance required Tor bringing the
train to a standstil would be In.
creased almost three times.
1t Is evident that when we are
whirled across the country at the rate
Of 100 miles an hour "a clear track"
will become n far more important ne.
.cessity even than il is today.

lied Rabbit Hunt division, and it
was decided that the members of the
faction which shot the most rabbits
would be the guests of the losers at
a stag party 1t would have proved
to be an extraordinary enterprise, but
it did not materialize because of the
unfavorable weather. However, Irwin
Burns, noted Ag Club hunter, shot a
rabbit on his fathers farm, and, ac-
cording to agreement, brought the
ears of the animal to school as tro-
ply to show the losers.
Thursday evening, December IS, the
losers entertained the winners in the
high school with the agreed party.
Several card tables were in play La
ter lunch was served. G. w. Conger,
advisor of the boys, showed remark
able foresight in beginning such
club, and the party was credit to the
organizer.

of course, this applies to the people

fact, there should be much more

Chaucer, Poe, Lincoln, Cavendish

people would grasp the true meaning
Of its value and would devote them

such iliiteracy and lack of knowledge
in social, civil and political affairs.
Mental weakness and lack of power
of concentration are some of the re-
suits of insufficient reading. If one
would really use his spare time and
become infatuated to reading, he
would not only enjoy it, but would
acquire valuable knowledge of world
affairs that would assist him in every
phase of life's struggles.-J. r.

The advance class in geography
did not proceed very far in their
journey this week on account of
the tests. Russia was the main
point of interest. The frozen tun-

fields of the south. Leningrad and
Uni oscow We're some Of the cities
visited, the formers various names
being of great interest to all.
Wednesday afternoon the school
worked geographical crossword
puzzles. The only word we had
trouble with was "radium," but
we finally succeeded in finishing it.
Friday afternoon the first and
third grade made hatchets and
cherries which were put in the WIN
dows for decorations.
This past week many have been
finding pastime profitable and great
fun to put the puzzle map of the
United States together.
The fourth grade reading class
learned the poem "The Arrow and
the Song" by Longfellow.
The seventh grade reading class
has begun the story of "The
Purloined Letter." by Poe.
