was night the members will always
remember.
BY January, our membership had
swelled to IS. That same month
our director surprised us one eve
ming with new tumbling mat. The
boys went wild with joy.
April was a red-letter month Our
membership was over the 100 mark,
and we moved from our crowded
quarters to the rented downstairs
of building. The East Gate Lions
Club was generous in installing
showers for us.
Proud of our new club, we made
plans for equipping and remod-
cling it. B. Kavako, owner of the
Washington Softball Stadium, was
very cooperative and suggested that
we have night of thrill and fun
at the stadium We planned to have
baseball games, tumbling and all
kinds of races 1t was a big. night.
Our birthday party was a grand
climax for this year of work, and
I'm sure the boys feel and do-that
they enjoyed the past year and will
enjoy the next still more.

Ourselves !.
BY Philip II. Love

Before everybody gets too stirred
up over the current charges that
high school students are drinking
and smoking at football games I'd
like to put in my 2 cents worth
by pointing out that there never
has been time when the younger
generation wasn't going to the
dogs" in the opinion of some OF
its elders.
During and Immediately after the
First World War many parents
and teachers were Mortified by the
conduct of the high school set. The
girls-or "fiappers." as they were
called in those days-were bobbing
their hair, rolling their hose and
wearing short skirts. The burning
question of the time-discussed at
great length in many newspapers
and magazines-was: Should a
| girl use lipstick and rouge?"
A sensational novel, The Sheik, {"
by Edith M. Hull, awas made into
an equally sensational movie, with
Rudolf Valentino in the title role.
There was a great deal of heated
debate over whether it was proper
for boys to use slickem on their
hair, la Valentino, and refer to
themselves as "sheiks."
That generation. it was generally
agreed, was very wild" indeed
Many boys and girls, it was said
even drank and smoked.
| OF course, l don't pretend to
know exactly what percentage OF
today's high schoolers are drinkers
and smokers. But my guess is that
it is considerably smaller than the
heat of the current controversy
would indicate. And that guess is
based, not only on great deal OF
close association with today's boys
and girls, but on actual experience
as member of that other wild
generation.
Sure, we got kick out of trying
to look and act like Valentino, out
Of dancing to what was known as
hot jazz out of cokes and choco-
late nut sundaes, automobile rides
wienie roasts, slangy talk-pretty
much the same things, in fact, as

joys. Some boys and girls did a bit
of drinking or smoking on the sly
just as some undoubtedly do now
: but their number was SO small a.
to be Insignificant.
At my school there was ruiz
against smoking within two block!
of the building. And in four year:
saw the rule broken only once.
AS for drinking. it was SO rar,
as to be practically nonexistent.
: u n X
Smoking is, I suppose, more prev
alent today than it was, say, 20 year
ago-among older people as well a
! among younger ones. But all tn
boys and girls of my acquaintanc
z who smoke do it with their parents

present remodeled club was just one
room, and when one pool table was

boast.
We held our first meeting in the
rented top story of a two-story
garage, under the direction of our
former afraid warden messenger
leader. Fred Nalley, jr.
BY November, 1914, we were forced
to vacate our room, and to add to
our worries our membership had
grown to so. For the next two
weeks our director walked his feet
off. trying to locate new quarters
until, through the help of a real
estate man, we managed to get a
loft. A lot of work had to be done
Lights had to be installed, the floor
repaired, walls painted and a lot OF
other things.
