Local Observations.
There is a peculiar thing about
bulletin boards in a high school
hall. Nothing it seems is so attrac
tive to the eye of the average high
school student as this square of
cork-covered board, well littered
with papers which vary from for
mal typed announcements from the
office of the superintendent to var
ious cartoons cut from papers or
magazines by enterprising students,
fitted with names of local persons,
and secretly posted to cause that
person's discomfiture. It often hap
pens that these announcements
concern only a small group of stu
dents, but this does not seem to af
fect the news value of the an
nouncement to the high school in
general, and all the announcements
are faithfully read and re-read by
the more staunch bulletin board
observers.
There are two reasons for this
conscientious following of the bul
letin board. "News!" First, the
bulletin board offers an excellent
balm to one's conscience as well as
an excuse for being a little late to
a class. It is easy to tell one's self
that it is necessary to know what
is being announced to the student
body and that therefore it is every
one's duty to watch all that is post
ed on the board and of course, if
something new appears between
classes, its reading must not be
postponed until after school. It
might be something humorous.
The other advantage of the bul
letin board is this: two boys are
having a friendly wrestling match
in the hall before school hours or
between classes (an all too common
occurrence). An instructor is seen
arriving on the scene to discover
the origin of the noise. What comes
to the rescue of the two playful
students? No chance to hide and
no excuse for being in the hall.
Without exception they turn to the
security offered by the bulletin
board, which they attentively study
until the instructor has had time
to become satisfied that the noise
he or she heard was nothing but
mice running around in the attic,
For these two reasons may we
always keep our true friend, the
bulletin board, free from disre
spect and safe from removal in or
der that it may continue to serve
in the future as it has in the pa?t
The Band.
What should be the attitude of
the school toward the band? Should
the band be regarded as a separate
organization, entirely apart from
the school, or should it be consid
ered a part of the school and treat
ed as such?
The band is made up of school
students and therefore should be
backed by the school just as other
school organizations are backed by
the student body.
The high school "pep" band as
well as the student body should sup
port the athletic teams, and vice
versa. The attitude of the high school
toward the band has not been what
it should be. The band has been
looked upon by the student body as
a group of students who do not be
long with the regular boosters.
It is the unanimous opinion of
the students and faculty that the
band stimulates pep and enthusiasm
at our games.
To progressivey continue the band
needs the support of the student
body just as the teams do. If a
school organization does not hold
the interest of the members outside
of the organization, it soon retro
gresses. Not only has the lack of outside
interest been noticed by the band
members, but it has affected their
attitude toward the band, itself. At
this time the band members do not
have the right spirit It seems they
think that they are doing someone,
either their parents or the band
master, a favor by attending band
rehearsals. Band Is pot compul
sory. It is considered an art to be
able to play an instrument with
skill and the band is imparting that
skill to the band members of our
educational system.
Without the correct attitude of
the members, the band cannot prog
ress; and without the support of the
school, the band members don't
have the correct attitude.
Let's support the band.
Club Visits Creamery
Fortune smiled on the Benzine
Ring members when they visited
the Morrow County creamery last
Thursday night. They arrived Just
in time to witness a Babcock test,
a test, by whose means the butter-
fat content of milk and cream is
determined. Mr. Cox explained the
test and the reasons for it He also
made a test by which the sourness
of churning cream is determined.
After explaining the operation of
his freezing apparatus and pres
sure pumps, Mr. Cox served luscious
frozen strawberries to the club
members. These berries had been
packed and frozen while fresh from
the vines and they greatly appealed
to the members' tastes.
The Benzine Ring wishes to thank
Mr. Cox for making such an enjoy
able and Interesting evening possi
ble. Clam Grows
Day by day the class In Civil Gov
ernment grows larger. It now has
thirty-four students enrolled and If
there should be any other new mem
bers they will probably have to
stand up. Due to the fact that the
class is so large it now meets in
Room 4 instead of Room 8 as for
merly.

BUSINESS ADVANCE GOOD.
Daniel C. Roper, Secretary of
Commerce, asserts In his report for
the fiscal year ending June 30, 1933,
that business revival throughout the
world, and particularly in the Uni
ted States, began during the months
of April, May and June. The re
port covers the period from July 1,
1932, to June 30, 1933. During these
Mr. Bleakney three months the advance made by
commerce and industry toward re
covery was the sharpest ever made
within a like period in the history
of the nation, the Secretary of
Commerce stated. He attributes
this marked upturn to the restora
tion of confidence following the
adjustment of the banking crisis
and by legislative accomplishments
of the first session of the 73rd Con
gress. The recession during the fall
months of 1933, due, it is stated by
some, to the failure of consumption
to keep abreast with production,
and by others to the instability of
the dollar; by still others to infla
tion through large sums put in cir
culation by federal projects, was
followed by increased activity as
the Christmas season approached.
Foreign trade during the last few
months has also expanded from a
dangerous low point, reached dur
ing the fiscal year ending June 30,
1933.
The Secretary of Commerce as
sures the country that he will bend
every effort to continue the upward
trend in this trade which, he feels,
will make a marked improvement
in the prosperity of this and other
countries.
