Most of us read without concentrating We have the book before our eyes and glance at the words, but our mind« are elsewhere. It takes an hour to read amt absorb some trifle of kn0wi«-«M* which by intensive stu<ly wi- could learn in half of the time. Wo sit down and n-nd twenty pag»-s of history. For a while we study with eager ness. Then it begins to be dry and unin teresting. Subjects of closer interest float uppermost in our minds, and we »tare ont of th« window, day dreaming, until we re call with a start that historv corn« * the next period and w« should know the dates for the Constitutional convention, slwut the reign of Constantine, or some other detail of the lesaun. Rut we lose interest again • nd again perhaps the history IcMon » never learned This bring« failing grades, Intensive study 1« the only kind that gels us any- where. Besides, there will be time left for day dreaming after our I cmkmui are pre pared, if we spend a little concentrated ef fort an studying. School spirit is a sontim.-nl which ought to tn- alive in the breast of every high school student it I* the cause of tirerete or failure of all outside activiti* « and should bo culuvale.1 by . very high school «tattle BL Without school spirit we could du noth ing.

Il’s our school! Manual training Is being taught this year in our High School. We are receiving no help from the state or county by way of donation to help us in our cour*e; nevertheless wv are getting along th» best that ia possible with every- on* taking the course furnishing his own tools and material. This course should be taught h«n- <<v«-ry year, but it ha* b« < n ncglectc«! her? for several years. With a new »tart thi* year w» may make It gp through and next year get a little donation from th? stat«- with which to purchase more equipment and thereby *nak<- a better eourw- of it. This course is very valuable to the «tu- dents that will take iL This is a course in "handy men” in which you are taught to handle tool* and instru ments that you will need to use later in Let's make it a go!

The contribution of jokes, poems, storv-x and new» of general inter est is «specially urged. The grammar school Student* have boon enjoying regular forty-fiv« minute period* in the gymnasium daily.

STUDENT BODY ATHLETIC TICKETS The cost of »tu.ient bod) athletics tickets has been reduced from 11 50 per semeste.- to seventy-five cent* a year. This reduc tion took place due to the fact that basket hail is the only athletic sport vntlined so far this year. At this rate every student possessing a student body ticket will be entitled to sex- all the games for the alhelctic season, on the local floor, in which the H.S. teams are represented, at the same cost that three games will cost those that do not Let’a all buy a student body ticket!
