Editorial

Libby High School is known in many
places for its beautiful lawn. How.
ever, this reputation is not one wor
by luck and held by chance. The
beauty of the Libby High Schoo
lawn is kept only by a continuous
effort on the part of certain mem
bers of the student body.
Just a week ago, the Il" Club
sponsored a day in which to clean
up the grounds. The students had
an enjoyable time that day, but they
also did great deal of hard work
and for several days the lawn look
ed beautifully well-kept.- IT IS a
custom, though, for students to
spend d good portion of their noon
-Four on the lawn, and this habit
is all too easily observable by the
bits of paper and other debris
streWn about when the last bell
rings.
Keeping the lawn clean really
would not be very difficult task
if everyone just did his part. The
average student does not, as rule,
streW enough debris about so that it
would damage him seriously to car
ry 1t to the garbage can and deposit
1t properly. Therefore, as every
one IS an average student, just as
the lawn soon becomes eluttered
when everyone strews Junk" on
It, SO, if everyone used the garbage
can to advantage, the lawn would
stay neat and WelI-kept.
