OUR SCHOOL AND IT'S AIMS


LdJ1n

structor of Latin. 1t is the only for
eign language taught in this high
school.
1t is a two credit subject and re-
ouires two years of study in order to
Gain any credit. A credit is given each
semester but these credits are useless
unless four of them are gained. The
first year of Latin is studied in the
Elementary Latin Book; the second
year is composed of studying Caesar
Activities in Gaul.
Public Speaking
Public speaking is taught by MISS
Myrtle Fisher.
This subject is two credit sub
ject It's purpose is to teach pupils to
speak in public correctly and with
ease.
Faith
Faith is one Of the greatest ele-
ments toward making a success, re-
CARELESS of the undertaking. 1t was
Lindys faith-in himself and in his
plane-that carried him to the heights
of success. If faith has proved unfail-
ing in the case of such dangerous
undertaking, faith must prove so in
lesser things. If you know you can
succeed there is no reason for your
not doing so. Above all, boys, have
faith that you will win, know that
there is no chance of losing; and Car
bon's banner will fly victorious after
the basketball tournament.

A MEMORABLE DATE

1t is not possible to pass this day without calling
attention to the historic incident which took place
twenty-five years ago the bleak sandhils at Kitty
hawk, N. c.
There two young men, considered little crazy
by their hometown folks, 'fiddling' with
traption of cloth, wires and small engine which they
very foolishly thought would fly. Of course they
would be killed eventually and their contraption des
troyed thus ending their efforts to prove that
fly If the Creator wished man to through the
air. he would have given him wings. said the scoffers,
forgetting that although the Creator did not give
fins, quite few of able to swim like fishes.
Wilbur and Orville Wright paid heed to their
critics but went ahead with their work. twenty-five
years today the Wright brothers rolled their odd
looking contraption; Orville Wright mounted it the
engine started and away the first airplane,
skmmng along track built on the sandhills. Reach
ing the end of the track scared into the air and flew
for twelve seconds and distance of 120 feet. The
first flight in heavier than air machine had been
made. Likewise history had been made.
In the quarter of century that has elapsed, Or
vile Wright has the development of the arplan
grow until today it is considered standard of
transportation His brother, unfortunately has died
in the meantime. Some Of the very persons who
sidered the Wrights crazy twenty-five years ago,
today reading of the honors which all the nations of
the world are according Orville Wright.
1t is wonderful thing to look back the years
But if Orve Wright is still alive twenty-five years
hence, he will be astounded at the progress that
the second twenty-five years will bring to aviation.

A REAL HOLIDAY

At the suggestion of one of readers, would
like to urge campaign to make Christmas real holl
day for many Ell Centrans, is practical.
Not all places of business close Christ
Day. There must of necessity be some who will
have to work that day, but there also others
who are compelled to remain at their employment
Christmas Day largely through the selfishness and
thoughtessness of the rest of US.
Service station owners, for instance, if they knew
their customers would not be coming around for sup
plies on Christmas Day, could enjoy the holiday with
their families If their customers would Just show
little thoughtfulness by making certain they have suf
ficent supplies to keep them the holiday the
vice station owners could close up their business.
There many other lines Of business to which
the foregoing applies. If householders would use
little thought thereby making they we'll sup
piled it would release many and women from the
disagreeabe duty of having to work the greatest
holiday of the year.
We have so many slogans humping into us at every
turn that adding them is likely bring resentment,
but it does seem though could make room for
another - Christmas Holiday for Everyone.

"NARAI,HON DANCING"

Our neighboring city Of San Diego IS at present
the scene of MARATHON Dance" which is in its
third week and appears to be going strong.
This that for approximately 47O hours,
group of dancers has been shuffng around dance
floor for forty five minutes of each hour that has
passed The contestants allowed fifteen minutes
rest in each hour.
Certainly there is nothing inspiring about the
sight of half dozen couples half dead from lack Of
sleep, physical and mental wrecks, bndly staggering
around a room watched by crowd of the morbidly
curious who able to find plenty OF loafing
time.
Such contest decides nothing and proves nothing,
people who will do almost anything to avoid honest
days work. and equally possible to find others willing
to watch them do it.
Watching MARATHON Dance" ought to be about
as interesting pecring down through a well and
