Coolidge Girls Earn
Points for Sports
PRIZE CONTRIBUTION.
By Pessy Chrismas, is,
Coolidge High School.

One OF the most prominent clubs
at Calvin Coolidge High School is
the Girls Sports Association. Un-
like other clubs, its members auto
matically become enrolled as soon
as they come to Coolidge.
A committee files q card for each
girl on which her achievements in
sports are recorded. Points are given
for participating in different activi-
ties, for refereeing. scoring. manag-
ing. etc, and at the end Of the Sc
mester, II the girl has a suf1icient
score, she is given an award Num-
bers Of the year she graduates for
100 points, a big orange C for ITS
and gray bar sewn across the c
for 300. AS yet. only one student
has won the bar, but several are
working hard for it.
Among the activities of this Or
eanization are bowling, table tennis,
archery. basket ball and volley ball.
The girls meet after school to play
In the games and tournaments and
besides having wholesome exercise
and good fun, they have the
pride Of having accomplished some
thing worthwhile. Moreover, clubs
Of this sort would probably do q
lot to decrease juvenile delinquency
and build healthy citizens.

Battle Your Friends
With This 'Maaic'
By Aioysias SeAuvtx, B,
Holy Name Sch ~

1t is much fun to mystify your
friends with simple magic tricks.
One trick that junior magicians can
perform is the matchstick trick.
Take an ordinary handkerchief
with a hem in it, place a match
stick in the hem, then let your
audience examine the handkerchief,
but be careful that the concealed
matchstick is not discovered. Place
another matchstick In the center of
the handkerchief and fold it. Allow
your friend to feel, break the match
stick-and, presto, 1t falls out un-
broken. The one in the hem was
broken.
Place a hard-boiled egg latter
the shell has been removed over
the mouth of milk bottle. Light a
piece Of paper and drop it into the
bottle. To your amazement, the
egg drops into the bottle. The fire
burns up all the oxygen and sucks
the egg in. To remove the egg, you
blow into the bottle and it falls out.
You can astonish your friends
with these simple magic tricks.

BY MRS. p. C. ELLETT,
President District Of Columbia Congrei
of Parents and TeAcherS

President District Of Columbia Congress
OF Parents and Teachers.
We celebrate the birthday of one
OF Americas great men-George
Washington-on Tuesday. It Is en-
tightening how, under the emo
tional stress Of our present national
situation, the virtues of our great
Americans far overshadow their
faults. Some years ago, 1t seemed
to be the fashion to debunk the
stories which had grown up about
our national heroes and various
authors apparently took . fendish
delighgt in telling the truth" about
them. But all OF these debunking
stories have faded into the back
ground and again we are turning to
the. lives of our great men for in
spiration and guidance in the pres
ent struggle.
That America is great is due in
part to her national resources, but
has depended far more on the quail
ity Of her leadership. That she has
had good leadership, for the most
part, is self-evident. And so it Is
fitting that when the birthday anni-
versary of one of our great Amer.
leans occurs, we pause If only
briefly to pay homage to his mem
ory and to thank God that such
men have lived.
When we remember the suffering
and privations endured by the small
band OF patriotic Americans at VAL
ley Forge who are willing to make
the supreme sacrifice rather than
surrender their cause, we must re-
af1rm our faith In our country, and
resolve to do our utmost to bring
about an honorable and lasting
peace among the warning nations
OF the earth. And we must remem-
Der that America has met many
crises in her years of existence, but
has never failed to surmount what
ever obstacles might have lain in
her path, and have been the
stronger and more secure for having
passed through these struggles.
