accidentally held it to the window

has taken place which has given
the child more confidence and a
feeling of leadership among his
fellow students. The Student Gov
eminent Association of New Han
over High school is known through
out the state for its high standards
and its reputation tor fairness to
all students. In numbers OF cases
the Student Government has the
final word in respect to student
activities and is the judge and
jury in cases of students breaking
the rules of the school. This form
Of student rule has helped all STU
dents to realize the importance Of
being a good citizen and instilled
in them the will to make their
school the best.
Free training in music, both vo-
cal and instrumental, is an
achievement in itself and numbers
OF students spend hours each day
lettering themselves through use
of their voice and musical talents.
There r 1853 girls and boys ell
rolled in the Glee Club and prac-
tees are held each morning and
during the lunch periods. These
students receive credit for Glee
Club and under the direction of
Albert Brown, have made numer-
Gus records in the state music fl
nails as well as making a name
for the club with their famous
%operettas presented annually.
The band, under the direction
of 1t: Eugene Lacock, is another
outstanding musical organiza-
ton of the school and is larger
this year than ever before. The
band plays for all ROTC assem-

credit for being in the band.
These activities are just a few of

Ponder Smoke
BY
EDMUND M'LAURIN

Of interest to t h e many Boy
Scouts and Scouters in the Wilmi- g.
ton district is the news that the
adopted course of fire for the Area
Boy Scout rifle matches, scheduled
for Saturday, May II, at the Sunset
Park rifle range of the Wilmington
Rifle and Pistol club, will consist of
ten shots per man for record on a
single target from each of three
shooting Notwithstanding, sitting
and prone, with all firing to be done
at fifty feet on the regulation tar
get for that distance.
Originally, and up to this year,
the Scout matches called for five
shots per man from each of three po-
sitions, but based on my recommen-
dations, supported by parents and
experienced riflemen, double that
number will be fired for record this
year.
Personally, I have " felt that
a short course of fire is ever a true
indication of an individuals skill, it
being entirely possible for a marks
man to luck out" on five shots
whereas over a longer course of fire
skill would be required to register
ro~+;,,,o1 li,o1+ Lite To-, +hie yaa
son, I have in turn felt that there is
little honor to be had in the winning
of any shooting competition in which
the element of luck plays ever the
most infinitesmal part in determin-
ing the final outcome. Anything less
than a contest based entirely on in
dividucl skill is essentially unfair to
those individuals whose marksrnan-
ship ambitions ride high, and part.
cularly is this true of those boys
who must later be called on to meet
the requirements of the Boy Scout
craftsmanship merit badge, f 0 i
which a short course of fire fails tc
prepare the contestant. T h e adop'
ton of the ten shot, three position
course of fire will undoubtedly tend
to develop individual skill, necec
sary for accurate fire of ten or more
shots from any n position. Being
more truly competitive, the longer
course of fire will likewise foster
those qualities of craftsmanship that
are so necessary for success in al
most any worthy undertaking.
l think that the Scout officials are
to be commended for the change, not
becaus I advocated the adoption of
the ten shot course, but simply be,
cause that the Scout matches are nc
longer an experiment but a phase OF
boyhood activity that deserves every
encourag ement. T h e average boy
likes to shoot, and since it is practi.
cally certain that sooner or later he
will yield to that urge that is our
American birthright, then it is up to
the Scout leaders and the eXpericnc.
ed civilian riflemen to see hat he
is taught the fundamental principles
