open the window to feed the robins. Some
where down the Avenue an old woman like
perambulating bundle of rags crowned with
disastrous hat, was singing in thin high
voice. Through the cold air of morning the
words came, clear and plain:
O, oaly W0ly, I0ce is bonnie,
A little whiLe When II is new.
He looked at Mile beseechingly. If she
heard this sad epitaph on their own case, she
gave no sign. Had she forgotten? He never
had quite out of his mind, the JOY that had
once been his or the warm glow of delight
that had crept through him, making him safe
against the coolest blasts of winter, when he
turned at night into the Avenue, and saw
the lit windows of his home. There were forty
odd windows on his side of the Avenue, and
they were all very alike, but Ike knew his own,
as mother the voice of her child.
And it was over 1t was over too soon, and
all he felt now when he came home at night,
was dull apprehension. Wondering what sort
of temper Mile would be in, and what he
had left undone that he ought to have done.
And Christmas was going to be worse than
ever, with an unwanted relation of his wished
upon them - an elderly nun.
He unused, staring out into the cold of the
morning Would Mile still love him if he were
important, like Mr.. Passmore, or fashionable
and rich. like Leon Gardulla, with profile
like Greek god? 1t seemed to him of late
that she was forever comparing him with their
neighbors. and never to his advantage.
One of Miles many gr,,dHs against fate
was that they were the only people in the
Avenue who kept no car. She put all her social
troubles down to keeping no car. She wanted
to be in with the Passmores, the Gardullas,
with Miss Luella Grey. a film star who lived
in great glamor and plenty at Number l. She
was apt to blame Lorne, to think it his fault
that she wasn't If he made more money she
could wear smart clothes, like Margaret Gar
dulla, and give large parties. like the Pass
mores, and drive her own two-seater, like
Luella Grey Being in the swim. Mile called
it, and she was bitter and angry because they
weren't.
Lorne didn't think So All the husbands
were very nice to him. Most of them Travelled
to town on the 8:45 and swapped anecdotes
about their cars and their roses and their
babes Lorne always wished he had baby to
talk about, but there wasn't much hope of
that Mile, lately, had decided she couldn't
abide all that sort of thing. Il should lose my
figure, too, and then shall have nothing left"
she said acidly.
Sometimes Lorne thought he would invent
himself a child, just to keep up with the rest
of the boastful fathers. A child that would
floor the lot of them, with the number and
multitude of teeth it would produce in the
minimum of time, and the many-syllabled
words it would pronounce before its second
birthday!

The Western news. [volume] (Libby, Mont.) 1933-current, 1937-11-18

A few years ago, teacher made
the statement that she didn't like
Libby because it was too full of
cliques. That isn't anything any
town should be proud of. But per-
haps with the older folks of the
town, it is a situation which can
not be remedied But in the high
school itself, it can. And it should
be. 1t isn't anything to be proud
of that you have your own particu-
lar gang and never run with any,
one else. In fact, it's something
to be more or less ashamed OF. It's
a tacit admission that you are not
interesting enough to attract out
siders, even though you were in
terested in them. 1t is plain state
ment of the fact that you are abb
solutely selfish and care for no one
but yourself and your own personal
interests. And it need not be. AT
ter all, it isn't SO hard to speak
kindly to someone who is not SO in
telligent, or not SO popular, or not
SO Well-dressed as you are. In fact,
you might be surprised at the re-
suit. And when you're all through,
you are certain to feel better for
having made someone else feel more
wanted in the high school-more
part of our system. Remember,
someday you, too, may be the one
who is stranger or who is UNI
popular-and you certainly cannot
expect any better treatment than
you afforded those in Libby High
School

Who's Who?

This week we've all been more or
less seeing red, with preparations
for the hi jinx, and transforming
for the annual. So it is no more
than fitting that we take for our
first subject our senior red-head.
Her main forte-as you all know, is
entertaining-and one she's good at.
Those of you who are lower class
men can't remember that time when
she, as calloW freshman, of course,
crawled up the aisle on hands and
knees to rescue a shoe from a cruel
cave-man, but that was the begin
ming of a beautiful career which
prospered amazingly until finally it
ended in bottle of henna and the
title "dignified senior" But guess
we should have seen it coming last
year, when she became SO firm on
the matter of putting two syllables
in her name. almost everyone
knows which is right now But in
spite OF everything, she's swell
person and we all like her lots and
wish her--to descend to the col
loquial--heaps Of success.
And now, since gentlemen prefer
blondes, which doesn't mean thing,
but sounds as nice as the tolling OF
the liberty believe take our clari-
net-playing blonde. This young lady
has graced the orchestra with her
presence for many years-not to
mention the band. Last year she
purchased a brand new clarinet

What Is a
Good Boy Friend?

In response to the Tamarack ques-
ton What is a good boy friend2"
many excellent opinions were hand
ed which made it difficult to choose.
Your cooperation was greatly APP
preciated.
In my estimation a good boy
friend is as follows.
One that is changeable with his
moods;
One that doesn't talk of war con-
ditions in China when it's ter
O'Clock and a full moon is coming
over the mountain;
One that is we'll read and can
speak intelligently on almost any
subject;
One that is master over me and
not afraid of me
One that knows how to be a gen,
tleman without being too preten-
tious about it;
One that can be gay or somber al
the right time or place,
One that notices how we'll | look
but isn't too critical;
One that makes friends with the
family;
One that picks places or things tc
attend that will not bore me.

Football Memories

Since the football season is over,
I now feel at liberty to discuss the
past season freely, without being
afraid of modified form OF Black
Legion or a band of young rene
gades ready to scalp me and hang
me out to dry.
As you all know the Libby Ter
riers had a MEDIOCRE season The
the Terriers were at full strength
The Troy Troians were swamped
under by the score of $50 in a
practice game. Columbia Falls then
came here for the first conference
game. They eked out 1912 vic
tory. They won the game in the
first half on lucky break, but the
Terriers came back displaying more
spirit than they did at any other
time all season, when they scored
two touchdowns in the last period.
Eureka met the Terriers in full
stride and lost 100. The score was
closer than the game, because the
Lions couldn't get the ball past
their own 43 yard line, where they
had it only once.
A three game losing streak pushed
the Terriers backward. Boomers
Ferry handed them a $50 defeat.
Thompson Falls upset the dope
bucket and administered a 1910 vic
tory. Flathead also took the meas
ure Of the hapless Terriers with
a 26-7 score. After a weeks rest
the Terriers came back and took
Troy by IL points.
The individual statistics show that
Fowler made four touchdoWns for
high scoring honors. Borden made
three touchdowns for second place,
while Woodruff made two touch
downs for third Richards and Now
ell each made one touchdown for
points apiece.
Libby made SO points while their
opposition was rolling up 81 points.
The scores of the games show that
Libby was weak on scoring points
after touchdowns.
The Terriers will lose five letter
men by the graduation route.

An Ideal Boy Friend

An ideal boy friend, first of all,
must not be too ideal-few 60 for
a tsweetie-peach." He takes part
in enough activities to be fairly
popular with girls and other boys.
He must have a sense of humor--
not too caustic. The ideal boy
friend never drinks too much, but
doesn't make point of not doing
so. Being immaculate about his per-
son is strictly required if he can
do it without looking like a fash
ionplate. A car isn't absolutely
necessary Ford would do. He
doesn't 60 in for strenuous necking
and if he's jealous he exercises
that sense of humor enough to keep
it to himself

Seniors Have
Class Rings

Last year the juniors decided TO
purchase their class rings earlier
than customary. The juniors who
wanted their class rings last year
were able to purchase them then.
The remaining seniors purchased
their rings this year. Before, when
class rings have been purchased the
rings arrived only few months be-
fore the class is graduated, giving
them little time to wear their rings
during school.
Although some Of the members of

of rings, both are similar, having
