Editorial
"To be or not to be; that is the
question." To shove or not to shove,
to talk or not to talk, to loiter or
not to loiter, to show conduct or to
show misconduct, are all of the
things that come up in school.
Conduct Is only a seven lettered
word which means behavior. The
younger people should always show
good conduct to their elders. This
is especially true in the way pupils
should act toward their teachers.
When pupils have graduated from
school and start on their life's jour
ney they will find quite often whe'e
conduct will either better or lower
their position or social standing.
To shove, talk, and loiter are
things that come under conduct
and are daily happenings which
not only take up the pupils' and
teachers' time but grow into a habit

Spring Has Come
The appearance of a wheel chair
caused a great deal of excitement
Tuesday in the high school. After
the 3:30 bell had rung some stu
dents, feeling unable to traverse Uie
great distance from Room 7 to the
assembly, seated themselves in the
wheelchair and dashed frantically
around the hall. But the fun did
n't last long; the before mentioned
students were squelched in the
midst of their amusement by the
appearance of a disgusted teacher
who asked In no uncertain tones
that the chair be pushed to its rest
ing place and not removed from
