The "SchOol Note" Objective

AS the school year rolls on with its
other fascinating activities, it brings
with itself school notes." 1t may
not be the most important activity IN
the school; but it certainly is very
important factor in determining the
reputation of our school. We all
want our school to have a good re-
putation. We want people to think
we'll of our school, its faculty, and
its students. One way to accomplish
this thing is through the school
notes."
A school newspaper should have a
definite objective in view. Although
ours may not be termed entirely as
a school newspaper, we still have the
same objective. Our aim is to pro-
vide an organ of information that
will present the news desired by
those who are actively interested in
our school. We want you, who made
such a joy possible for US, to know
what is going on in our school; to en-
joy our activities with us. We want
you to know that we are ever mind
full of you, who have given US such
a marvellous opportunity.
This might be our aim; but Incl
dentally our school notes" accomp-
lish other things. They promote train
ing in useful and purposeful writ
ing, and they promote cooperation be-
tween taxpayers and parents and the
ccboo1 apd itS punilS
1t is the sincere desire of the edi-
tor, with her co-workers that such an
aim be accomplished; and unless our
aim is accomplished, we shall feel
that we have failed in our task.

A "Peek" at the Junior High
The "school belp' has again sum-
moned us to take up our various
tasks after summer of rest and fun.
We feel that we are better able to
cope with the advanced work which
we have been so eager to get at be-
cause of that.
Although not fully organized along
every line-we are looking forward
to year of beneficial work along
with some "play"-which is absolute
ly necessary for every boy and girl
in order that he or she may develop
into broad-minded citizen.
We are hoping to appoint an effic-
lent or-in-chief-with an able as
sistant editor-plus several snappy
reporters who will keep the public in
touch with what the Junior High is
doing.
Though the first six weeks period
is scarcely over, we are quite well
organized.
The Junior High School is unusual
ly large this year. The seventh grade
and Freshmen classes have increased
greatly. The eighth grade remains
about the same.
The seventh graders have adapted
themselves very we'll to the novelty
of being students in the Junior High
School.
We have had four fire drills already
this year and on the whole they have
been very successful.
Our classes have not been organic
ed, but the names of our class officers
and advisors will appear in next
weeks paper.
A committee has been appointed
for decorating the assembly. They
have already begun decorating the
assembly for this month. The de-

Senior Class Activities

The English Nv classes nave stud
led grammer and sentence structure
so far this year.
The Shorthand II students are
steadily reviewing last years work
and practicing for speed in writing.
The Tipping II classes are working
hard to gain speed and to get their
fingers limbered up after the sum-

The Economic Geography stud
ents have been studying the different
economic factors and agents, and
their effects on commerce.
The French ii class have been re-
viewing verbs.
Sophomore Class Activities
In Modern History we have covered
everything up to the sixteenth cent
ury. We are now studying the Re-
formation Period in connection with
Martin Luther and the Diet OF
Worms. Miss Mccoy explained that
anyone who wrote that the Diet of
Worms was something Martin Luth-
er ate would probably receive few
"red marks" on his report card.
That insects and frogs should not
exist outside of Biology is the truest
statement we have ever heard. We
have covered the grasshopper. but
terfiy, and many other insects. At
present we are studying the ant,
which is a pest.
English is last but not least. We
are studying phrases, trying hard to
distinguish between them and clauses.
The Window Redwood Football Game
The Redwood Falls High School
football team won their second game
of the season last Saturday at Win
dom.
1t was a very interesting and ex-
citing game. Each team was holding
the other pretty well. Redwood
could have possibly broken through
their line and made more yardage
if they had not been hindered by the
mud.
During the first three quarters or
the game there was no scoring Tor
either side. In the beginning of the
fourth quarter the ball was about
three yards from Windows goal. On
the fourth down Tom Finn, with a
good interference, went around our
left end and made the first and only
touchdown of the game. Wyman

Sophomore View of Initiation
Every morning you hear the same
convincing statement, eve are going
to be initiated today" and at four
o'clock with doubtful look, "we'll be
initiated tomorrow for sure" Don't
think we are so in love with the idea
of making fools out of ourselves,
quite the opposite, but we are an
xious to know how those very wise
upper classmen are going to make US
remember that horrid initiation day.
Possibly it's true that the first hun
dred years are the hardest.

Points of Advice to Girls

1. Never make dates with Biology
students; they enjoy cutting up too
much.
2. Football man is all right; he will
tackle anything.
8. You can trust tank man; he
will dive in and do his best.
A. The tennis man is harmless but
he enjoys a racket.
5. Watch out for the baseball man;
he hits and runs.
6. Don't play cards with civil en-
gineer; he's bridge specialist.
7. Always let the member of a band
talk about himself; he enjoys blow
ing his own horn.

BY KIRK MILLER

Thirteen football fatalities
have been recorded this year
as against IL a year ago.
Both Of these figures are
small compared to the casualty
lists Of q decade or 50 ago when
fall after fall from many sec
tions reports came Of players
meeting their end as the result
Of gridiron competition.
Two reasons are given by grid
iron authorities for the down
ward tendency in both injuries
and deaths afield. One Is that
smarter football is being played
and that smart football players
know how to protect themselves
and the other Is that the uni.
forms and equipment are being
made Of more substantial ma
terial and with better workman

Arny-NaUv Game

There seems to be fear in
some quarters that the Army
Navy game might not be a sell
out. When 1000 tickets Of the
Army allotment were returned
from West Point to the Saliva
ton Army ticket headquarters
In New York for disposal to the
general public, the Inference
was that some Of the paste
boards might go begging.
Meanwhile methods remind
full Of the Liberty bond sales
tactics Of the war days have
been adopted up and down
Broadway, Army trucks being
stationed at prominent points
at the noon hour and evening
quitting hour where tickets are
auctioned and otherwise dis
posed Of.
The victory of the Navy over
Pennsylvania last Saturday has
had q tendency to stimulate in
terest in the game-the kind Of
interest which should be. felt
in two ways. First, it ought to
sell more tickets to the game
itself, and, secondly, it should
prompt radio listeners to send
a dollar, or as much more as
they choose, to the Salvation
Army headquarters in New York
for listening privileges"

REALIZES
GRID TASK

WEST POINT, N. Y, Dec. 10.
Only today and tomorrow remain
for Army to make preparations
for the Navy game to be played
in New York on Saturday.
Army's camp has suddenly
awakened to the fact that o
real Navy game Is Just In the
offing, and is beginning to real.
iZe that it is about the toughest
assignment any Army eleven has
faced since the last service scrap
in 1927.
Army will leave at the con-
clusion of practice on Thursday
evening for Briar Cliff Lodge in
Westchester, where the squad will
be quartered until time to go to
the Yankee Stadium on Saturday.
The entire Cadet Corps will at
tend the game. .

Condition Watched

Removal Of the goal posts
from the zero line has cut down
materially the gridiron injuries
and officials, too, are watching
more carefully for unnecessary
roughnesS and penalizing it
more strictly.
Eight Of the 1890 deaths as
the result Of the popular fall
sport occurred in the cases OF
high school players, four on
college gridirons and one in .
game between independent
teams. Thus, there were half
as many death among members
Of more advanced teams, the
university elevens, than among
members Of scholastic squads.
The added experience teaches
self preservation to q finer de-
gree.
Another factor in cutting
down these unfortunate Incl
dents Of the fall sport Is the
rigorous adherence W the Gus
tom Of poper physical inSpec-
tion Of the athletes and proper
hardening oR the boys before
