DWIGHT STUDENT
If a boy or girl goes to high school and uses his time properly there is no more profitable thing he can do. These years from 13 to 19 are not very profitable as working or business years. Youth is the time when a person earns the least with the greatest effort.
A. great many people cite persons who have no high school education and hold them up as examples of success. The school is not the only place in which a man gets an education, but it is the easiest and most economical edu-cation. It gives the beginnings of education and the beginnings are the difficult parts. A high school course is worth while even if it does not yield any financial profit. There are many other assets. A high school opens up many fields of culture. It is a poor person who goes through high school and who is not better able to enjoy the good things of life. - The association with other high school students and the fellowship of the high school teachers is also an asset worth while.
If any who read this are undecided whether they should go to high school or not, seek other advice of some one who has had some experience in different phases of present day life, and, no matter whether they have a high school education or not, will tell you, "By all means go through high school."
This is a safe motto to follow. When in doubt about the wisdom of continuing in school, stay in school. Stop only when you have to stop.
GARDENS A great many high school pupils have signed
up and promised to garden this summer.
Do not let the hot weather of the summer melt your enthusiasm. Remember, to make your garden a success, it will take some effort and some slight self-denial. If you do a fair amount of work you will be lavishly repaid financially, besides knowing you have done your bit in helping "Uncle Sam" in this crisis.
MAY DAY On Friday, May 18, occurred the fifth annual
May Day, on the lawn of the East side school building. On account of the present state of war existing on this continent and in Europe, a patriotic program was given instead of the regular May Day exercises. The program was given in the form of a Pageant.
The day was ideal. Nearly every one in town
and many from the country took advantage of the day, and came out to hear the program. Between 1300 and 1400 were present.
All the pupils of the grades and high school marched from the school building to the lawn_ where all the pupils of the schools sang "Hail Columbia, - while Uncle Sam, and Columbia were being seated on the throne.
George Jonas, a first grader, was Uncle Sam, and Thelma 1-1 annum, also of the first grade, was Columbia.
Following is the program sented:
Columbia and Uncle Sam, attended by Col-onists, are hailed by the Chorus. Escorted to the seat of honoi., they review many of the features which have their representative sig-nificance in the moulding of our nation.
The first of these features is the Doodle Dance. "The Spirit of '76" given in tableau with a. drill introducing Colonists in order as they were taken into Union.
The Virginia Reel follows which is reminis-cent of the period of the Civil War.
The formation of the Union, being next in historical sequence, there follows a dance bring-ing in our flags—National and Colonial.
Concluding these pantomimic glimpses of the Past, is a flag drill with the final chorus, "The Star Spangled Bannerr," by all the pres-ent patriots of 1917.
THE MAN WHO QUITS The man who quits has a brain and hand As good as the next, but he lacks the sand That would make him stick with a courage
stout, To whatever he tackles, and fight it out.
He starts with a rush and a solemn vow That he'll soon be showing the others how; Then something new strikes his roving eye, And his task is left for the bye and bye. It's up to each man what becomes of him; He must find himself the grit and vim That brings success; he can get the skill, If he brings to the task a steadfast will. No man is beaten 'till he gives in; Hard luck can't stand for a cheerful grin; The man who fails needs a better excuse Than the quitters whining "What's the use?" For the man who quits lets his chances slip, Just because he's too lazy to keep his grip. The man who sticks goes ahead with a shout, While the man who quits joins the down and
