KETCHIKAN vs. WRANGEIL

 The third game of the series, taking place on Wednesday, Feb ruary 6, was won by the Wrangell players in a fine game, the score being 25-22.

SELF RESTRAINT
 (Editorial)

Self restraint and self control can mean the same thing. It is the ability to restrain or control ones temper or such outbursts that may be regretted later. One who mas not yet learned to restrain angry replies which leap to his mouth and are spoken before he has taken time to think the matter over. is often misjudged in many ways. This unnecessary outburst is due to the absence of self-restraint, which causes unhappiness to any of the individuals involved, be it the one affected by these outbursts, or the one who makes them.
 In classrooms especially, out bursts occur, for the simple reason that few students, when offered suggestions for improvements in their attiture toward the teacher or pupils, or to their studies, fail to receive these suggestions as a benefit to themselves and shoot back remarks, without first con- sidering the matter more carefully. If these pupils know they have lit tie or no self-control. they should try to acquire it.
 In amusements or activities, brief flare-ups will spoil an entertain ment intended for recreational pur- poses and pleasures, and in the end will result in a miserable ordeal with hard feelings against one another.
 So strive for self-restraint if you do not already possess it, for then you will have the satisfaction of self f-control, which will be valuable aid in anything undertaken. One will be much happier, more suc- cessful, and better satisfied for hay ing developed in ones self that im- portant quality of self control.

IMPROVEMENT BEING SEEN

The appearance of a school is due to the grounds surrounding 1t as well as to the building itself. If a school is located poorly or is surrounded by shabby grounds, it does not look well.
 Our school is situated in a very fine place and the terraces in front and the roads leading up to it all help to give it fine appearance. Recently there has been some work done on the school grounds by re- lief workers for the purpose of i'm proving the drainage system. A baseball diamond and tennis court is also planned.
