Editorial

Give thought to music says
: Mr. Kemper. With a series of con-
certs coming up we should be con-
siderate and help our instructor
work up the material he has in line
for u.s.
When our band, orchestra, or glee
clubs make an appearance, the group
is judged by their ability to play
and sing just as we are judged by
our personality, appearance and
habits. Let us cooperate with our
leader and work up the best for
the various music festivities. and
we shall surely realize results that
are favorable.
We have much competition in our
neighboring schools, but it is the
public that will judge and decide if
or if not we are up to standard
this year when we join the county
schools in the annual county music
festival
Are you proud of the spirit and
cooperation shown when the in
structor asked so boys to turn out
for mixed chorus and only three
showed up2 Fellow students. Give
thought to music.

Friday night the Libby Terriers
squeezed out one point victory
from the fighting Saints of Saint
Matthew's of Kalispell. The game
was played on the local floor before

minutes to go. The Saints called
time out, and they came back shoot
ing from mid floor. White dropped
in a long howitzer followed by
Evans that brought them within one
point of victory, but further bonn
harding was stopped by the final
gun.

on the floor, and led the scorers

Senior Interview

No, | don't hold grudges," said
Ted Fowler. Ted seems to be a
very even-tempered person. He
neither likes nor dislikes any of his
subjects. It was with modest pro-
tests that he consented to give your
lnquiring reporter an interview.
Even then he refused to tell much
about himself. However, these are
facts every one knows about him:
He is fairly tall and slim and med
ium blonde and he has a pleasant
smile. Also, of late he seems to go
into society more than formerly.
He appears to be very much ON the
Strong side.
Ted says that his only hobby is
work. He has no definite plans af
ter he leaves school. He may 60 to
college next fall. In any case, he
wishes to leave Libby. Probably he
will seek his fortune in the Big
City.

Student Opinions
Let's Look AT Ourselves

When a difficulty comes up be-
tween teacher and pupil, inevitably
that student has a lot to say about
what tyrant that teacher is and
how he has pets that get the cream
OF everything. Those known as
teachers pets" usually are the ones
who are fair-minded enough to con
slider both sides Of things, and their
only distinction is that they kflgv
how to keep out of trouble and how
to please the teacher.
Cheerful submission to discipline
is the one thing that goes far. One
who grumbles. about all the rules
and displays a general bad temper
about school and its regulations very
naturally ruffles the smooth surface
|of teachers temper.
Careful attention to instructions
will help to keep you in the good
graces of the instructor and keep
you out Of difficulties resulting from
the Impotence of the harried prot.
Things go smoothly for the one who
knows what to do, how to. do it,
and goes ahead on his own initiative
to complete the task
Honesty, above all else is inn
portant. No one trusts a cheat who
sneaks around to do as he wishes.
Neither is admiration rendered to
the one who defends himself by ex-
aggerations of his opponents inten-
tons. Even if he has been treated
with injustice, it was probably
caused by his own actions.
