A Distinguished Guest

he gave up his practice of med
icine and began touring the coun-

young people how to meet many
of the problems that they would

There's only nine more shop
ping days until Christmas. Every
where one looks, there is usually a
general state of confusion. On tor
Of this too abundant confusion
comes a plea and promise about
the Christmas party. The plea:
Please donate a sum Of money as
you can possibly do without to
help raise thirty-eight dollars to
get an orchestra for the school
party. The promise: We promise
you 1--WE won't have refreshments)
that there will be a good orches-
ira, no recordings, and no wall
flowers. Do without your dessert
in the cafeteria this week, stay
home from the movies once, or
else ask Dad for quarter, or even
q dime. At this writing we have
only a few dollars and it lust
won't stretch to thirty-eight dol
lars. This is something that should
interest all party-goers, and if
your name falls in such list, give
your donation, in cash form, to
Donald Grier.

Shall We Have a Student Court :

This question is entirely up to
the student body from grades sew
en- to twelve inclusive. Personal
ly, l think we should have some
type of court in our school. Such
court as that which has been
proposed will help prepare US for
life outside the school in both the
present and future. We will be
trained to be cooperative, self-re-
liant, respectful, as well as obed-
lent.
Many students have the idea
that the court is purposely for
punishments and rewards. Stu
dents who break any established
Law or do anything that is punish
able, will be punished-b but for
their own good, and not to estab-
lish authority.
Are you in favor of this court i?
If you are, try to influence your
friends that it is a good thing.

practice our boxing squad will

Several teachers are willing to
coach team if enough spirit and
material is found. A weIl-known
English teacher seems to have the
right attitude toward such an or
ganization and has given the i'm
preston that he would donate his
services if desired. Washington
Colleges gift to the masculine
portion of our faculty, seems will
ing to help and our superintendent
is always cooperative in any
worthwhile student movement.
Equipment is needed and a place
to practice is another thing that
must be thought about. The gym
nasium could be used some nights,
but our equipment has to be rails
ed through money-making ideas
only.
Let's get behind this and make
it a great success.

fir a highly competitive basketball
game between teams chosen up by
two of the many girls Of our high
school who are vitally interested in

This game was made possible by
a plan which allows these girls the

day and Thursday, furnishing for
them an excellent opportunity to
further their skill, not only in bas-
ket-ban but paddle tennis, volley
ball, bad minton, deck tennis and
other valuable sports.

why Not Have a Boxing Team?

A group of ambitious young
men, who are interested in the
skill of boxing, have suggested a
boxing organization. This club
would increase their knowledge of
the fine points of boxing as well
as give them some experience in
the ring. Competition could be
between two grades or among
Physical Education classes. Per-
haps outside contests could be Sc
cured with neighboring schools
that are willing to compete with
us. The boxing card" would be
only a school affair and all match
es would be between two high
schools. Maybe this sport could
be carried on during the intermis-
sion between the two basketball
teams. If this were true, the au-
dience would be entertained con-
stantIy for two hours. Think of
seeing Smyrna represented against
some rival; think Of watching
Smyrna trim an opponent. Would
MT it be great? You say that we
don't have enough material. You
would be very surprised if / were
to tell you that our school possess
es some good boxers, who are real
ly interested in boxing. Well, it's

A heavy dose Of morphine was
given Garep before the operation
but it took no effect until after the
leg had been amputated.

passed cigarets to the trapped man,
who had been cleaning the eleVat-

fell on the revolving drum which
holSted the elevator toward the
top Of the ten story building. His

and he was whirled around in the
shaft until his screams were heard
by the operator, who stopped the
car. The surgeon was then called to
cut him loose from the mesh of
