CRUISE Printer and Manager Journalism Instructor editorial There are two groups of people—those who are always waiting for something big to under take and never finish. Also those people who tackle the small things first and always finish be fore venturing on to something new. In your school work remember that it’s the little things that count which later mean bigger things. If you’re called upon to do something in class, even if it seems unimportant at the time, carry on with it as it is done for your benefit. Just remember your teacher has already done this and doesn’t need to do it over again. You don’t necessarily have to aim for high grades, for after all, you’re here to learn some thing and not just to get grades. Don’t always take the easiest assignments when given your choice. Takethe “toughest assignments. Sure! It means extra work, but when you’re through you’ll have the feeling of accomplishment. Aim high with high ideals in mind, and high wages and a high future will be yours for life. —J une F ord Do you stand up for your school and your team? Do you want to see the team win? If the team is beaten does this harm your pride? If you root for your team, if you do not “feel it” when your team is beaten, then you should do something about it. When the team wins a game you ought to feel just as good about it as they do. When they lose, walk up and pat them on the back and say, that’s okay, we’ll get them next time! Don’t razz the members of the team, this will make them feel “off” and they won’t be able to play at all. Now for the coach’s side of the argument. Most students forget the one who runs the team. The coach is the one who plans every move the team makes. Much thinking and planning is needed to win games. I think the solution to our problem is to think of the team’s and coach’s problems. Every time you see a game think of the work behind it by coaches, both teams, and both schools. So, the next time you see a game you can appreciate it more.—E rvin E dden The annual Red Cross drive is on! From Ar mistice Day until December 1, more and more people will be joining this national organization and will be urging others to join with them. The American National Red Cross is well known for the volunteer aid furnished to the sick and wounded of armies in time of wars passed. In May 1940, the organization raised $20,000,000 on a war relief fund drive. This enabled them to ship tons of foodstuffs, clothing, medical snp- plies and ambulances to stricken areas. Distibu- tion of goods was handled by members of the American Red Cross delegation which has been on duty in Europe since the early days of the war. During the year ending June, 1940, the Red Cross gave food, shelter, clothing, medical aid, and rehabilitation aid following 102 disasters in the United States and Alaska, assisting 100,000 per sons. The organization had at the end of its last year 3,721 Chapters. The membership in 1939- 1940 was 7,000,000. The American Junior Red Cross had a membership of 8,000,000. Why not be of service to your own country and join this organization, too--The American Nation al Red Cross. — Kathryn Jones Senior Play Night On Friday evening, November 7, the Senior class was nearly “played out” at the first play night of the year in the gym. The first game played was volley-ball. In or der to be a winner each side had to win two out of three games. Racing for candy was another exciting game that was played. When the games were over, the group sang songs and then returned home. Glee Club Entertains Rotarians Twenty-six voices rang out in clear harmony of the two songs,“America the Beautiful,” and “Carry Me Back to Old Virginny,” when the Boys’ Glee Club and ten members of the Girls’ Glee Club serenaded the Rotary Club Wednesday noon, November 5, at the Marion Hotel in Salem. Also, a solo was given by Fay Havard entitled, “God Bless America.”
