THE ELECTION.
Voting is really a sacred duty .and
one should not lightly cast his ballot.
Some of the nominees on the differ-
ent tickets are better suited by far
to serve the public than are others
and each man should cast his vote
for those who will do the most good
for the public regardless of party
church, social or business relations
and entanglements. Vote your one
vote wisely.

Poetry.
Sometimes as even stills the world,
and darkness o'er us falls,
I think of the poems we used to com-
pose
Within the high school walls.
"Tis o’er; no more do we entrance our
hearts with those melodies rare.
We dream no more of nature's dance,
Nor the poems beyond compare,
Alas! our spirits of poetic love have
declined and met their doom.
Farewell, dear myths, we bid thée bye
No more does the writer boom.
J. W-A. H, '16
(We do not wish to discourage
youthful poets, but when this cry of
anguish breaks loose from a Senior, it
is time to protect the names of

School Spirit. ?
What is school spirit? First of all
what is spirit? Spirit is life, anima-
tion. One who lacks spirit, lacks an-
imation, life and courage. School spir-
it means lively, interested and loyal
support of every project undertaken
by a school. Shall it be said that we
are wanting life? Life is the founda:
tion of everything in the universe,
and is, to our sorrow, lacking in our
school. Will you students stand for
so terrible an accusation? If you
think the charge is wrong you will
have to prove it by supporting the
various activities undertaken for the |
good of the school.
The orchestra needs members .and
there are plenty in the school who
can play but they seem to be afraid
to acknowledge it.
The time for basket ball is at hand
but as yet we have not heard a word
from the members of last year’s team
in regard to one this year.
Prove that there is plenty of life
in M. H. S. by starting to boom
things NOW.
Personal’ Mention.
The School Board is considering
getting a few Fords to run the sew-
ing machines in the domestic science
department.
We are glad to report that Miss
Livengood, who was absent Friday |
and Monday owing to a throat op-
eration, is again back at her old place
in the English room.
Some of the members of the ’1%
class are getting arm bands. Possi-
bly they will soon need head bands
