Schools


Our school is not place where we
gain only knowledge with which we are
to go out into the world and to carry
on in the footsteps of our predecessors
1t isn't place where we are driven
to do the things that we don't like to
do 1t isn't place TO go just for the
fun of going No. to me, school is big
business dealing with the most deli
cate, most fragile. most perishable prod
uct there is; that is. character With
out the care, correct environment and
up-keep ones character can dissolve
like salt in water.
Each day we come in contact with in
cidents big and small, that test our
character and breeding. All of the time
although we are not conscious of il. we
are being observed. Sometime or other
we are discussed openly; not ourselves
personally necessarily but our actions
and reactions to different things: such
as courtesy, politeness. speech, amuse-
ments and such things through which
we come in contact with other people
All Of these things help to build our
selves in the minds of other people, and
it is through the minds of other peo-
pie that our character is formed.

Do You Dance?

Why can't everyone have a good time
at our school parties2 Why must the
money spent be spent for the enjoy
ment Of only few and not for the en-
tire group You say that everyone is
invited that everyone is free to enjoy
himself as he pleases. That isn't all il
takes. There are many people in high
school who don't dance and the reason
they don't is that they haven't had the
chance to learn how. If person can't
dance, he is at disadvantage at school
parties.
AT the first meeting of the seniors Mr.
Hayes, the advisor, suggested to the
class that they promote something in
the way that would give everyone a
chance to dance He mentioned dane
ing class to be conducted for the stu
dents by the seniors. This class would
have no bearing on the school in any
way. The session would be held after
school hours in one OF the gymnasiums.
Any person who could not dance and
wished to learn would be entitled to
enter this class. The instruction would
be given by the boys and girls in school
who are good dancers and capable of
teaching it to others. With this plan III
order it wouldn't be long before our
parties would be something for every
student to enjoy
Now that this problem CT SIS
dances has been placed b1f3-e ysa w
expect every person il school p C.

Constitution Day

Last Thursday at general as
sembly of the junior and senior
high schools, Supt Wood presided
over a program in observance of
the 149th anniversary of the Con-
Of the United States.
The program was opened with
several selections by the school
band, directed by Mr.. Haugland.
Marie Kajawa, who spoke for
the high school, gave very inter-
esting talk on the stability and the
quality of the constitution. She
pointed out that the constitution
has guided our nation for century
and half with only q amend
ments having been added. She
also made many statements IN de-
Tense of the constitution against
the radicals who are striving to
tear down and build another to fit
the needs Of this day and age.
Bob Baker, representing the jun
Tor high, gave a very clear and ac-
curate synopsis Of the life Of John
Hamilton, the first secretary of the
treasury and one Of our greatest
statesmen.
Following this the cheer leader
took charge Of the program and
turned it into mild form of pep
rally for the team.

Whitefish 32-Libby 0

Last Saturday on Whtefish home
field Libby was beaten by a score Of
81 to o. Whitefish played almost its
entire offensive game through the stel-
lar quarter bask, Hileman, who was
too clever and slippery for any of the
Libby men to catch or hang onto, once
he got loose around the end
On the field Saturday were two en-
tirely different types of teams, White
fish, which made all Of its yardage
through reverse and end-runs using
one man, Hileman, as the mainstay in
every play; and Libby, which did its
playing with all four men in the back
field working together on straight,
clear-cut plays.
Libby outclassed Whitefish in every
way when it came to punting and pass
ing. On every punt that Libby made
yardage was gained.
This week end the team will 70 to
Thompson Falls to play its first con-
ference elimination game. Thompson
Falls high IS new in the district, this
being its first year. But in spite Of
this it is said to have one Of the strong
est beginning teams yet entered.
