Editorial
(Arthur Crowley)
It is through the actions of a few
disorderly students of the Athena
high school that the school spirit i3
somewhat lowered. The school spirit
has been very low in the past years
but it is gradually getting better. In
the last few years the students of the
school have not taken a great deal of
interest in any of the athletic games
but now everything is being done to
increase the 3chool spirit and we hope
in the near future that it will be
brought about that we will have one
hundred per cent school interest. In
the sub-district tournament held at
Helix enthusiasm of the finest type
was shown by nearly all of the stu
dents attending. There are certain
students of the Athena high school
who should never be allowed to wit
ness any of the school affairs because
of their disorderly conduct. At some
of the basket-ball games held here
these individuals would sit up in the
balcony. and shoot water guns and
throw chalk. It seems as though
these students would realize that this
is "small town stuff" and that they
would be ashamed of themselves. If
these few individuals must shoot
water guns and throw chalk we sug
gest that they stay home and enjoy
themselves instead of coming to the
school to do it It is through these
individuals that the school spirit is
lowered and if these childish pranks
were abolished the student body at
titude would be much improved in
spirit.
Athletics
Although we have had a few
touches of winter, lately, spring
seems to be a pretty well established
fact and "Pike" is attempting to form
a baseball team.
Baseball practice is to start in
earnest this week and there are sev
eral boys turning out to offer their
services to the team. "Pike" is try
ing to get a practice game to take
place a week from today.
