SCHOOL ACTIVITIES

Every student should support extra
curricular activities. Attending high
school is not merely a routine Of les
sons. The activities of the various
clubs, organizations and classes oc-
eupy an important place in the life of
the high school student. He should
be willing to do his share for these
different associations without being
urged to do SO.
The Athletic association is un-
doubtedly the most important and
largest organization of the school.
Every student is member This year
the members are exhibiting real school
spirit, by taking the responsibilities
of making the Athletic association a
100 per cent organization. The Ath-
letic association carnival proved to be
q success through the cooperation
and energetic support of the entire
student body. Other undertakings can
be equally successful if they are taken
up with the same spirit.
The Girls and Boys Glee clubs, Agri-
cultural club, Public Speaking club
Commercial club, Debating club and
the Senior Girls Pep squad all need
the support of their members.--H. l.

the rainbow.
From the "Casket of Gods" another
chamber of about equal size opens and
is known as the Cathedral Room"
from the form of the staglagmites
which gives it the appearance Of or
an old world cathedral.
In an adjoining room, called "The
Fountain OF YOUTH which IS larger
than the other two, is spring and
large pool of sparkling water which
is most refreshing to visitors after
the long climb up the mountain. The
water trickles into the pool over a
lime rock formation that resembles
an old-fashioned wooden pump, the
water flowing from both the handle
and the spout.
The full size or depth of the cave
is unknown, but it has been explored
for more than 1000 feet downward
and far below that point flowing
water can be heard splashing over the
rocks like the waves of the ocean
dashing against cliffs.
There is also a room known as the
"organ room,' one as the bridal
chamber another as the "music
room" and one from the peculiar for
nation resembling the lean and fat
side of bacon called "strips of bacon" !"
There is an "art gallery and "holy
of holies,' these are all large rooms
and branching off from them are hun
dreds of smaller rooms.
The cave has been made a govern
ment monument and is called the
Lewis and Clark National monument,
being located near the old trail fol

BASKETBALL SQUAD

A squad Of 20 immature youngsters
started basketball practice Monday

experience in interclass basketball
they are still unproven when it comes
to representing Carbon County High

Ray cave of Virginia is very similar
to this in its phenomena, but is
dwarfed by the magnitude of the
Morrison cave.
The curious formations to be seen
take the form Of fanciful wreaths Of
flowers, cork screws, deer antlers,
clusters of grapes, handsful of pop
corn, waving curtain OF exquisite
lace, ropes with knotted tassels, cas-
cades of flowers, waterfalls, wood
carvings, and delicate etchings in in

SYSTEM OF LETTER GRADES
ADOPTED

A letter system of grading has been
chosen in preference to the old
numeral system. This new system has
several advantages. 1t is impossible
for teacher to distinguish between
a 95 per cent student and 96 per
cent student. BY the letter system,
it is not necessary for the teacher to
make a distinction of less than five
points; they classify the student as to
quality--A meaning excellent; B, SUI
perior; G, average; D, below average
but passing, and F, failure.
