HOW I JUDGE A HIGH SCHOOL
Last Monday morning the curiosity
of the senior class was turned sud
denly to new student who had been
introduced to the class by Mr.. Sim
mons as Donald McNally. 1t was
soon learned that Donald would be
with us for a week. He was travel
ing from place to place with the Nc
Nally Hill Billy Show.
After his acquaintance had been
gained by several students of the
class, he soon began to tell us how he
judged a high school.
He said that the Snow Hill High
School was number (301), three hun
dred and one, that is, that he had at
tended three hundred high schools
prior to his coming here.
He told us that, when he first en-
tered school building, the first thing
he did was to try to recall school
that he had attended that this school
looked like, and always hoped this par
ticular school would be as good a
school or even better than the other
school. He then told us that the Sec
ond thing he noticed was the condition
of the walls. If they were marked,
scratched, or dirty with initials mark
ed upon them, he said he could tell
Immediately the type of teachers and
students the school contained; they
were careless, and the pupils always
ready to pull wisecrack on him; but
if the walls were clean and mark
less, he readily knew the teachers
were kind, neat, and careful and that
the students were polite and would
probably be very friendly toward
strange students. He told us that he
was very glad to ay that he had at
tended very few schools that made a

HOW OUR SCHOOL PREPARES
FOR GOOD CITIZENSHIP

One of the most important things IN
school life is good citizenship. After
leaving school, if we have not acqulr-
ed this, our school life will not have
meant much to us. So, it is the re-
sponsibility of our school to provide a
training in citizenship.
In our school we have Civic Club
to take care of the boys and girls OF
the fourth to seventh grades. This
club consists of small group, chosen
by their classmates to represent them,
and one teacher as an advisor. These
BOYS and girls make rules which they
think should be carried out for the
bettermnt of their school; and, II,
these laws are disobeyed, the guilty
pupil is given a punishment approved
by the club and the advisor. They
have police to help enforce their rules
(these are pupils appointed by the
clubs executive committee.) 1t is
their duty to help keep order in the
classrooms and in the halls at recess
and noon. If they see any one mis-
behaving, he is reported by them at
the clubs next meeting. They usually
hold their meetings every two weeks.
In high school the Student Council
is carried on in a similar way. Each
classroom is allowed three represen-
tatives. There are sixteen in this
body including the president. The ad-
visor is one of the high school teach
ers. This body not only makes laws
and see that they are carried out, but
makes contributions to the school to
better it. They also offer a chance
for the best students, in marks and
behavior, to hold an office for which
they may get credit. Good citizenship
is the high aim of these groups.

BASKET BALL
On Tuesday night the long awaited
court battle between the junior class
team and the high school varsity took
place. For many weeks the juniors
have been saying how they would beat
the varsity and the varsity has been
blowing off" just as much. 1t was
only fitting that the game end in
tie, the final core being 1912. Dur
ing the first half both teams opened
up, and the play was exceedingly fast.
The juniors, however, over played the
varsity; and at the half the score was
9-5. In the second half, the varsity
came back and dominated the play,
bringing the score to 1912. Follow
ing this game the alumni played a
combined varsity and junior team. In
the first half, the varsity played and
held the alumni scoreless. The alum
nj were very fast, but were rather
rusty on shooting, consequently the
final score was 1910.
