Don't Waste Time

Several weeks ago we were told
by our English teacher that at the
end of the fourth period we would
be required to hand in a 1000 word
theme on an English writer whom
we had studied. We received the
notice with a loud discussion but
promptly forgot about it. But
time moves quickly and at the be-
ginning of the fourth period very
few of us have given this matter
serious attention.
With less than a month to read
the life and works of a writer and
compose theme, many of us are
at last beginning to get to work.
With last minute books, notes,
papers, and pencils grouped around
US we begin to write. 1t is not
easy as we haven't given our sub
ject enough thought or study but
after few nights of struggling
we reach our goal-20O0 words.
We read it over and find it not
very good but it is too late to do
anything about it. We hand it in
and receive a sd" or a low co..
This is a pity because we know we
are capable of better work than
that if we had only started earlier.
The moral or point of this theme
is to begin thinking and studying
on subject as soon as it is as
signed in order to give it its just
dues. Don't put off work that you
can do to-day to the night before
it is due and then hand in a paper
not worth reading.

Through The Valley Of The
Shadow

Truly, he was good man
A man worthy of our utmost re-
spect and admiration.
While he walked among us daily
through our work and play,
Encouraging and praising our
accomplishments,
Discouraging us when we SEEM
ed to stray
From the doctrine which he held
before US.
Little did we realize
Little did we dream of the time
when we would see his smiling face
No more.
Gone? Yes, but not forgotten.
How could we? He was so kind
so just
A sympathetic friend to chide
When we, his charges, stumbled.
Now, in his absence, we miss
His guidance-his presence-we
see
The vacant chair.
To us he threw the torch;
1t is ours, now, to bear.

jealousy

Jealousy is the intense desire to
keep something for fear of losing
it to someone else. This feeling
has led to many disasters which
usually incur more than one per-
son.
Living in fear and hate of one
another causes a great deal Of un-
happiness and sorrow which should
be the opposite with other people
Friendship is based on loving
kindness, sincere cooperation, and
all the true things which not only
help your friend but you also.
When jealousy looms upon this
bond you are doomed to bitterness
and hate for that person.

The Marsh Buggy

You very probably have seen a
news-reel shots or photographs of
the latest invention of man defy
nature in the heretofore impenet-
rable swamp and wastelands in
Louisiana. The Marsh Buggy it is
called, and I say there is no more
suitable name to be found. At a
first glance this vehicle might
seem to be an illusion such as you
might see in particularly bad
dream, with its four monstrous
tires. The tires are the largest
pneumatic tires ever built. They
are kept filed with air to five
pounds pressure by an airpump
that operates even while the We
hicle is in motion. The wheels are
not designed as to be capable of
keeping the craft afioat even in
the case of all tires going fiat. 1t
may seem odd that in one breath
we call the Marsh Buggy a vehicle,
and a craft in the next, but this is
true. 1t operates at about 35
miles per hour on land and about
10 miles per hour in water, and
also is entirely dependable in mud.
1t is licensed as a vehicle, carries
lights and horns. and also as a
ship carrying out government reg
ulations.
The four wheels are driven by
an eight cylinder gasoline engine,
and the chassis is a standard auto
chassis turned over. The Marsh
Buggy was designed for a well
known oil company, to be used for
locating oil or inspection Of many
places, by q well known tire COM
pany.

Starring Mae Clarke who plays the
part of publicist who outdoes her
rival, John Payne who was featur-

good voice, something unusual
among the screens stars who sing.
