EDITORIAL

The students and faculty of the Libby
schools are deeply touched at the death
of Mr.. Bessey, janitor of the school.
MIR. Bessey had been with the school
for II years, and the building will not
seem the same without his familiar fig-
ure in the halls
He was a faithful servant, always
willing to work after hours to accom-
modate those late straggiers who called
upon him He was sincere IN his Ell
forts to do his work to the best OF his
ability, and to be help to any and all.
He typifies the old school where hon
esty of purpose and integrity OF his
work were the greatest accomplish
ments that man could have. He will
be greatly missed for long time to
come by all those who have been as
ISOLATED with him.

Your Pep. - For the Game Friday

II
HE that loseth wealth, loseth much;
he that loseth friends, loseth more, but
he that loseth his spirits, loseth all. =
Spanish Maxim
Is Libby High losing its school spirit,
or is it already LOST When Tom says
complainingly, "Aw shucks, this school
doesn't have any school spirit, what
does he mean? He is one of the school.
Is he blaming himself for his schools
shortcomings? There are many such
students in our school who spread
propaganda of this sort, tearing down
efforts of those energetic students who
say, 1--WE do have school spirit. Lets
get out and spread it,
1t is unquestionable that we can
show spirit-such as we displayed at
the Eureka game. We need revival
or continuance Of that pep at our
game Friday. Stop and realize what
pep means to our team, and determine
that you'll supply it,
If you want to live in the kind OF a
school.
That's the kind Of school YOU like.
You needn't slip your book III a grip
And start on long, long hike,
You'll, finally find what YOU left be-
hind.
For there's nothing really new.
It's a knock at yourself when you
knock at your school.
Real schools are not made By lads
afraid,
To work hard to get ahead
When everyone works and nobody
strikes
You can raise a school from the dead.
And if while you make your personal
gain.
Your neighbor can make one, too,
Your school will be what you want to
see.
Ii isn't the school, Its you.

spot again, years later, all of his land
marks has disappeared.
There is also a story of a "lost"
sapphire mine somehere in the Mus
Along about 1905 or 1907, when the
Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul rail-
road was building through Montana
to the Pacific coast, there came west
man PANIED Jimmy Doyle. The con-
struction work finished, Jimmy turned
to herding sheep in the region north
and west of the Musselshell river, south
of Flatwillow creek, and east of a
north and south line drawn through
Roundup.
Lost Mine
On occasional visits to Roundup,
Doyle brought with him a collection
of blue stones which he claimed were
valuable. He gave them to his friends
and, when he could, traded them for
whisky, but he never revealed where
he had obtained them. Once a man was
employed to trail Doyle when he left
town in an effort to locate the source
of the blue stones. The trailer returned
to say he had located the mine. He had
a number of stones with him to prove
it. But he disappeared without direct
I ing anyone else to the spot and was
never heard of again.
Between his wages as a sheepherder
and the blue stones he gathered, Doyle
managed to get sufficient liquor to
render himself temporarily insane. He
was committed to the state insane asy-
lum, but discharged a few months later
as cured. He did not return to Round
up, dropped from sight altogether, and
with him went the secret of the sap
phire mine.
