DEPARTMENT NOTES

Bookkeeping is one of the courses
open to the upper three classes. Our
past reports show that it is studied
mostly by sophomores with a few
upper classmen enrolled each year.
This year the latest edition Of the
McKinsey bookkeeping and account
ing book has been purchased to be
used in the class. 1t is the most re-
cent up-to-date practical publication
Of this kind. The contents are ex-
planned at the beginning in very
understandable way, and as the work
continues, the fundamentals of book
keeping are introduced with continual
application to these fundamentals.
Every business transaction is intro
duced in one form or another through
out this book, thus giving students
enrolled in this course good under
standing of bookkeeping and account
ing at the close of each year.
Closing work consists of discussion,
oral and written questions, and lab
oratory. In laboratory work each stu
dent keeps a set of books of his own.
In these sets they make money de-
posts, handle notes of different kinds,
write checks and other vouchers which
they would handle if really connected
with some businesses house. The sets
give them a very practical experience.
Often times throughout the year Illus
trations are used to help the students
obtain better understanding of the
work.
Bookkeeping is becoming more
important subject as time progresses,
as it gives business houses, business
men, individuals and homes an ac-
curate record Of income and eXpendi-
lures, whereby they are able to check
up and make future plans from these
past records. Bookkeeping is rapidly
coming into its own because of the
true facts represented in the trans
actions.

CARS, FIGURING
IN GRIM AFFAIR
AT MASON, TAKEN

A blood stained Nash and a bullet
scared Star, two automobiles that
played a part in the recent shooting
at Mason when one man was killed
and another wounded by the armed
guards who were protecting a rail
road car loaded with beans, moved out
of Laurel's ken Monday when dealers
who had sold the automobiles took
possession of them. They had been
stored at the Anderson garage follow
ing the shooting.
McTavish Motor company took the
Nash, and A. t. Hansford company
the Star. Both firms are Billings car
dealers. The Star was driven to Bill
lings under its own power. The Nash
had a frozen radiator that would not
hold water, thought to have been
broken by freezing during the hours
intervening between the shooting and
sunrise, and required towing when it
left Laurel.
Kelly, the man who died from a
gunshot wound, expired as he at
tempted to crawl into the Nash
through the right front door. His
blood trickled over the running board
Day, Kellys companion, was wound
ed in the left shoulder as he sat in
the drivers seat of the Star. Part

HIGH LOCALS

Josephine Nagode entered school
Monday as a freshman. Prior to this
she was attending the Cody high
school.
Phil Pollard was the choice of the
students for school yell leader. Phil
has had considerable practice in lead
ing yells and is, without doubt, well
suited for the position.
Reports were received Wednesday.
AS usual, they caused a great deal of
commotion and conversation. Some
teachers were embarrassed when
asked to explain the low marks they
gave.
The seniors, having utmost faith in
the motto, "the early bird gets the
Worm,' have put in reservation for
43 caps and gowns. Measurements Of
the seniors are being made by the
cap and gown committee.
During the past week the public
speaking students have been deliver
ing orations on various subjects.
Orations by Webster, Washington and
Lincoln were studied in class before
the students ventured to write one of
their own With these serving as
models, the students wrote and deliy-
cred some very eloquent orations.
The chemistry classes had a pleas
ant surprise last Monday. They re-
ceived new text books and new lab
oratory books. These books are of a
brilliant red hue, and it is hoped that
they will keep the students wide
awake. The books are modern, up
to-date chemistry books and will be
Of benefit to those who are studying
the course.
Various sophomore committees are
keeping strictly private meetings after
school, We wonder what it's all
about-and come to the conclusion
that they must be making prepare
tions for the coming sophomore pro-
gram. Overcoming many difficulties,
we learned that they have undertaken
to present an up-to-date serial. This
is all we have been able to discover
about the program. Further details
will be in next weeks issue.

CAMP FIRE NEWS

The Camp Fire Girls held their
weekly meeting Wednesday at the
home of Gertrude Oliver. Although
it was formerly agreed that the meet
ings should be in the high school, the
girls find that on cold evenings a
meeting can be conducted to a better
advantage in the homes of individual
members.
The greater part of the evening
was spent in the enrolling of new
members, who pledged obedience to
the Camp Fire law, learned a Camp
Fire song and discussed the best
means of filling the treasury. Since
the group is at present undergoing
the process of registration at national
headquarters, and materials which
have been ordered have not arrived,
the girls are not yet working for
donors. However, the problem of
getting the affairs of newly or
gained group working smoothly re-
quires the entire attention OF the
members. Miss Jackson urges other
freshmen girls to join, as they still
have an opportunity to do so. Miss
jackson is proving to be a very cap
able leader, both as Camp Fire guar
dian and freshmen class advisor.
Mrs. Oliver served dainty and
delicious lunch to the girls imme-
diately after the meeting adjourned.
The next meeting is to be held at the
home of Anna Freeman. 1t is desired
that all members be present.-A. J.

INITIATIVE

Initiative is that quality which
leads men without being told, to do
things when they should be done. The
men who exercise initiative are the
builders of the world-all the other
people are merely tenants and janit-
oIs.
When a man with initiative can
not do thing one way he will do it
in another way Obstacles do not
hinder him. He keeps trying. When
it is time to quit, he begins When
he is defeated, he begins fighting
again. A gutter never wins; a win
ner never quits.
1t is well to know how; it is better
to try, for by trying we learn how,
and we develop initiative. All the big
things are accomplished by trying.
Learning training, and education be-
fore you go to work are valuable, but
it is the education and initiative we
develop by and while at our work
That count.
America could never have grown
into the great nation Of today if it
had not been for the initiative of
men. Inventors, presidents, generals,
in fact, all the noted characters known
in history, have exhibited initiative.
We, here in the high school, should
develop initiative, for without it we
cannot make Roadway Our school
would be failure if we, ourselves, did
not make the effort to make it a sue
cess. That requires initiative.
Initiative is the instrument with
which we win our way to success
