weeks, started to use photograph
to help the tipping students acquire
the rhythm necessary for speed anc
accuracy. The first two days we wrote
only using the slow records, but this
week he has started to use faster
ones. We thought it was only joke
at first but now we are trying HARD
to keep in time, with the result that il
has helped a lot in eliminating the
mistakes from our speed test papers

Debate.
Are the South American republics
| really republics? Is the United States
! holding her place as one of the lead
| ing progressive nations of the world +?
Is the United States becoming inn
peralstic?
These questions will be answered
when Libby's debate team, Evelyn
Borg, second speaker and Lester Jo-
hanson, first carry on against Flat
heads team composed of Margaret
Hamilton and Marion Dixon. The
question is. Resolved, that the United
States refrain from military inter-
vention in order to protect foreign in
vestments.' Libby will uphold the af-
firmative. The debate will be before
the Flathead high school assembly at
1890, Friday morning, the 18th.
The Libby team had the negative
case we'll in hand but it became neces-
sary to change sides. The affirmative
is not so strong case as the negative
but as Rev. Pate said: 1T isn't what
you say, its how you say it.

New Speaker.
The most outstanding feature Of
Fridays Pep Rally was speech Civ
en- by Judson Gaige. He popped the
high school up great deal and ended
by saying, Libby lost with some ter
rlble scores not even making enough
to say they had any, but after Mr..
Hughes looked over the men and
shifted one here and another there he
finally succeeded in picking the best
team of the season. This is why he
had so many games before the tour
nament. With assured cooperation this
team will play in the tournament
working hard to bring a victory that
will be remembered in Libby High
IN the coming years
Senior and Sophs Contest
Last Friday interested spectators
We're treated to an amusing basket
ball game between the Senior and
the Sophomore girls.
The first half was rather dead and
decidedly one-sided. 1t ended 6-1 in
favor OF the Sophs.
The Seniors came back at the half
with blood in their eyes and pro-
ceeded to teach the Sophs how to play
basketball While in this frame of
mind they scored 9 points to the Sophs
and the game ended 10 to in favor
OF the Seniors.
They are expected to tangle again
some time this week and we are anx-
lously awainting the results.

High School.
Next Friday will be the closing
game of the tournament. At present
the Sophs and Seniors have each wor
one game. These games are not pub
lie.
~ FABLES.
In questioning Miss Clinton about
the work that her English Nv class
is doing we found Fable writing
was interesting the students and re-
ceived Il real good fables from diff
! ferent members of the class. The
| stories were their own ideas and sub
ject matter was on animals around
the northern part of Montana.
] One of the fables reads:
The Bear and the Deer.
One day as bruin ambled down the
trail he became aware that a deer
was intruding on his mountain do
main. So bruin was angry. He fol-
lowed the tracks, galloping in his
peculiar galloping gait. The deer was
Fleetfoot, an old veteran, driven to
the mountains by his comrades, who
had recently dethroned him.
Now Fleetwood was a very wise
! deer. He realized he was being pursued
so he cunningly lead bruin to a party
Of nearby hunters. Fleetwood knew
deer season was closed. The hunters
shot bruin, but bruin got away and
went to nearby wood As he lay
dying Fleetwood came to him.
Aha Bruin Bear, am not so
easily killed as you aren'
Just then a bullett aimed at bruin
/ by the hunters struck Fleetwood and
knocked him down.
Now you have killed US both, Fleet
foot Deer!"
The hunter arrived and quickly dis
patched them both.
Moral: Do not be selfish and dc
not boast.
