are putting out more for less than
fifty years ago. There are fewer and
fpwer small Rchools. 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

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.

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

.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.
Freshman Initiation
The freshman initiation which is
sponsored by the sophomores took
place Friday evening. Many clever
