SAVAGES OF ECUADOR. Th Jlbaro Qav On Spanish Oov rnor His Fill of Cold, ir vou nro looklnc for a real wild Indlnn seek tho Jlbaro. Perhaps you never heard of him. but you should, for bo's the wildest, most savage and uncultured type of redskin who thrive today. War and tho Jlbaro aro aynony mous. No other Indian-Ulbe la history has so determinedly and successfully resisted efforts to conquer It as mis tribo of the Jlbaro. TndnY tht Jlbaro. 10.000 strong, rul supreme over tho vast forest regions of Bucador betwuem the Santiago ana Pajnso rlrersiand southward to the Amazon. It Is ono of tho most plctur esque and primitive of . all surviving tribes of redskins. Onco when parity subjugated to Spanish rule they were goaded to rebellion by enforced labor In tho mines of their taskmasters and marched 'JO.000 strong Into tbo strong hold of their enemy and In one night completely annihilated tho 12,000 ln habitants. As an example of their wvagery they killed the governor by pouring molten gold down his throat 1n order that ho "might have hU Mr of golL" ' Like tactics are still pursued, and Mm Jlhnro Is little molested. War is their uormal condition, tbelr favorite weapons being the lance, tho javelin and. the blow gun with poisoned nr rows, which bav served tbera with deadly efficiency. Little Is known of their religious or fTivthnlnirteai hellers.- There are about 1,400 Jlbaros who are ChrbUluns. but few of theao are of the full blooded type and 'are scorned by the majority of the tribe. Mlaloaaries say tbo -Jlbaros' will never break from ancient customs. -Catholle .Encyclopedia.' Bslovad of the Gedi, Miss Mary Anderson (Mine.

At once with onenrcord the "gods" of tho gallery roared respouse, "We wlllr From An Alumni I run very triad to contributo my part to this new enterjiriso of tho Junior class. 1 am much interested in it because it shows n spirit of enthusiasm and tiro prcssiveness which is good to behold. I am beginning to see more clearly every yeur what powers and possibilities the small hitrh school possesses, My message to you is that you should be grateful and proud that you are members of a Bchool like James John and not of one of the largo city high schools. In my college experiences I have come In contact with a great number of graduates from the largest, most expensively equip ped high schools, and with a lesser number from the smaller high schools; and I have often been surprised to notice the different spirit in which these two groups look back upon their respective high schools. The first group regard it as a necessary evil which must be endured before college could be possible for them, a period in which they had to submit to petty rules and strict discipline aid upon them by teachers who neither know them nor cared1 for them as individuals, a place where each ono tried to got as much credit as he was able, with tho least possible exer tion. In short, it was a more or ess mechanical performance for all parties concerned. Unless one stood at one orthc other extreme of intellectual or sociul efficiency, he never became an ndividual but was merely one of tho many. This group, gen erally, has no interest in its alumnal activities, regarding' them asj painful reminders of a more or less troubled period of their lives. Of courso.this at- itudc is not absolutc,;but it is ynical. The other group recalls its ligh school experiences with ruo alicctlon. These people come irom small classes Whcro everyone know everybody else intimately, whero tho teach ers were few in number and bach felt somo personal interest in and comprehension of them as Individuals. Each ono had I ad somo special responsibility and share in tho school community and had consequently felt him self individualized and not just ono of a crowd, in at least ono Held of activity. To theso peo ple high school meant n period of development and solf-dlficov-ory. They found how well they could do things and gained con fidence and clllciency in the do? ing. Incidentally thoy got much moro from, their school life, for "Thoso who do most for any thing nlways carolmost for it." Their schools really belonged to them for thoy had liolned to make them. And so it seems to me a real misfortune to find oneself a member of a school whcro ovcry- hing is organized, whero cus toms and traditions aro already aid down, and there is no en thusiasm to crcato now ones. There is plenty of talent in James John to make it ono of tho finest high schools in tho state. Quality doesn't depend on re sources and equipment they aro just the tools to work with. It depends on the spirit and en thusiasm of tho members of the school. Tho present indications of this spirit are, I think, pro phetic of a most productive and satisfactory future. lrom ono who is, and always hopes to be, ono of you in spirit. CClia Hunkins Juno '11. Entertained Freshmen The uppercla8smon" entertain edVthe Freshmen last month The program for the evening was on the order of an athletic meet, and was called "Tho James John Hiirh School Round un and Agricultural Exhibit." The gymnasium and halls were tasteful y decorated with corn stalks andfautumn leaves, and a corner of tho "gym" was as sicrned to each class. Tho classes competed against each other in the following games: Peanut race. Wheelbarrow race. Standing broad grin. Vocal high jump. ' Three legged race. Best class stunt. When the points were.counti ed. it was found that the l1 resli man class had won tho trophy, which was an engraved tin cup tied with the II, S. colors. Other appropriate prizes were awarded for the best farm pro duct, and the two most typical farmers. Refreshments suitable for tho occasion were served, and then followed the customary Virginia Reel, which completed the eve ping's entertainment. Don't forget to reserve tho date of Nov. 20th for the H. S. On that night the students will play, "Tho Village Lawyer." This will be a good play, so you don't want to miss it James John for quality. "ITIIHwriicr uslug this space hns n keen recollection of hU youth. He recalls how tho youth in their clubs, their parties) their common convcrsatioiuutook into nccount the business man, the professional man and the wage earner; how we sized them up with our youthful vision; it was keen, it was sometime cutting, ntul olnsl oftcut right. BUT ns a youth among youths wc cannot remember lh.it wc ever discussed or considered that those same business, professional men and wage earners were noticing US every day of our lives; we did not contemplate that those same men knew the company wc kept, what our habits were and many times our nspira-. tions; wc did not reulize that it wns part of their particular business to watch . the youths tlmt passed the door from day to day; to know whether his evenings were spent at home, hi proper recreation or elsewhere. And now as we pause for a backward look it is plain that the business men must be interested in the boys und girls of the community because there is ever n weeding out ol 'the-weak to be replaced by the strong; strong in intellect, strong .of character and true to sense of right. As a youth we might have becu grateful for just such u little preachment ns this, so we pass it nlong to you of the James John High instead of telling of the sort of shoes, shirts or socks you should wear.

Jack) (Jheneyv Phone Columbia 255 H. HENDEMOl KUMK4r , Keeping Up Good Record Our football is still keeping up tho good record with which it started this year's work. On election day wc played a tic game 7 to 7, with Gresham II. S. at Gresham. It was the hard est fought game thus far in the season. The Gresham boys were full of fight, and to counter balance this our boys were just as .full of the fighting spirit, so naturally every foot of ground gained by either side was fierce ly contested. The Gresham team, which played us several weeks ago on our own grounds, wns considerably lighter than the team we played in this sec ond game at Gresham. This fact.togcthcrwith the difference in tho grounds.accounts for the tie score. The James John boys escaped uninjured except for a scratch or two about which they only laugh; but Greshum's, right half back hurl his kneo in the last half of the game, which is liable to keep him out of tho gamo tho rest of the season. Tho single touch down made bv James John wns a very spec tacular bit of work accomplished by Manager Wrinkle. After neatly catching n for ward pass on about tho twenty- yard line, ho dashed through u broken field for a touchdown, leaving behind, Bprawlcd out on the ground, men who had tried to stop him. Tho boys enjoyed the trip very much, tho they had to make it in a ruBh. To tho regret of both players and the rest of the high school, it wob impossiblo to ar rango to have the Biipport of tho student body at tho game. After the game, Capt. Mac tried to satisfy his hunger with cream puffs. It was reported that some of theso same puns, together with Mac's charming smile, won him favor with a bunch of Greshanvs fair maids. Bo that as it may. celery, cider and a supper at Grcsham's best hotel satisfied the rest of tho boys. Do You Know Them? Pinkoy-Ono who took n high jump. Noisy Miss uunion'B ret.
