Another illustra tion is of the college that wanted the winning football team, lhey had to co-operate with the coach, their men, and with the other schools to get a schedule, to develop strategy, and to win the games. These illus trations are of big concerns. y . It is practical for people to organ ize on a smaller basis. Even the small units must be well organized to be successes. A well trained faculty i i . . i a t .,HAAHnA.i can noi db Bam to ue euttcsoiui uu- j less they are co-operating in their ei f orts. A school can not be success ful unless the students, faculty, and the board of control are pulling td ward one common goal, that of a higher rating. Athena high school is " getting a flying start. With nearly an entirely new faculty and a very different sys tem than last year Athena can look forward to a better. school year. The reasons for this statement are ob vious. The superintendent has been a success elsewhere and has taken this position because it is an advance ment and not because he can not get Ml 1 other schools. The rest 01 tne iaeui tv ia n hand-nicked lot Thev were picked with the idea in mind to have an orchestra or a band, to nave more school activities, and to eet a smooth working, harmonious squad of teach ers. The addition of several subjects that had not been taught nere pre vimislv eoes to show that a wider range of study is being offered the student. .These and several ;. other lesser reasons show that' the school year of 1930-1931 should be a suc cess. High School Notes u - ) "The Choice of Women who Card" Athena Beauty Shop , Sadie Pambrun, Operate Phone S2 Editorial Stafford Hansell A story that Is common to most of us is the one about the man who could not break several sticks to gether but who had no trouble break ing one. This illustrates the princi ple of organization. There have been many names for the different periods of our history. The twentieth cen tnrv can tmlv be called the ase of co-operation and organization. In nmrtirallv all of the industries there have been attempts made to organ ize and most of them have been de cided successes. The main pnrpose for is to vet the stores or other branches under one big head and to produce at such a tremendous scale that they can put out their pro Hnrt.a at a deeidedlv lower cost. Their competitors can not compete. They must find a similar system or remain under local head and " join buying chains so that they have one of the good points of the chains. Colleges are ratting blger inU bifffer. They .Athletics The Mac-Hl-Athena Hi game is gone but not forgotten. Aitnougn Athena was disappointed in the score they were glad that it was so close for the school from over the -hill could only ' make one touchdown against the locals. The amazing part of that is that they made it, on a break. One of the local backs fum- Mpii the ball, it was recovered by the Pioneers and they proceeded to score and convert There is nothing un usual in. that for they fumbled and if Athena had been in such an ad vantageous position they might have scored. The teams were fairly even matched and they both, flew into it right away. Mac Hi had the-ad vantage in a heavier backfield and Athena in the line. Athena's next op ponent is Hermiston on the local field this Friday. , Those, wbo started ior Athena were: Kolahd Wilson, center; Sincer and Towne.' euardst Hansell and Pickett, tackles; Huffman and Miller ends; Moore, quarter; mcuui lough, full; Lowell Jenkins and Crow ley, halves.
