LUCK
When a school boy we wrote an
essay on the above topic and the bur-
den of our little story at that time
was what the books, magazines and
teachers proclaimed, that there was
no such thing. With some years of
observation we would say there is
something that passes for luck in
the affairs of men. You may call it
by some other name, providence or
destiny, or what not? A man of but
ordinary ability invests in some land
and the city wants it and he becomes
rich. A wiser man in every way,
more familiar with affairs in general,
at the same time decides to purchase
in the direction the town should grow
but the town didn’t grow in that di-
rection. Mark it down to luck.
We will admit that, often, what is
attributed to luck is nothing but gen-
nine merit. Many ,men obtain good
positions because they earned them.
Others earned them and never got
them.
Booker T. Washington Dead.
Here was a brilliant man with a
colored skin. While he had the re-
spect of the great men of this nation,
and was even dined by Mr. Roosevelt
when president, though it did make
a furore he never forgot that he had
a great mission to perform and that
was to elevate his own people by a
practical or common sense education
suited to their needs. To do this he
established Tuskegee Institute where
thousands of colored boys and girls |
were trained to become noble men and
women, though black.
Ye who take pride in your fair
complexion don’t forget that your
ancestors of perhaps 2,000 years ago
were savages in the lowlands of Ger-
many. Let honor be paid to this great
educator. He has done far more
than many of us for the betterment
of the world.

Accuracy.
By accuracy we mean exemption |
from arising careless ness and freedom
from the mistakes. Although this
term is applied to almost every phase *
of life and business that which con-
cerns us mostly at the present time
is accuracy in school life.
When we enter the High School it
is® necessary to commence our work
in the Freshman class with accur-
ateness. Why is it that scarcely
‘fifty per cent of those who enter H.
S. graduate from it? Because when
we have succeeded in reaching H. 8
we feel that we have education enough
and are careless which finally results
in leaving school.
Fellow student, do you realize that
you are mot hindering yourself but |
the future citizens of your country? !
Do you not think that they deserve
well educated men to rule them in!
their youth? What will be the result |
if they are influenced and follow the |
example of uneducated men? Would |
you have your country and future
citizens thus?
If not, then be accurate in your
school life and not only in the Fresh-
man year, but throughout the course
and you will never regret having
spent your time in accurate work.

Basket-Ball.
The prospect fort the 1915 basket-
' ball team looks very bright. Most of
the members of last year’s team are
still in school and the new material
looks promising. The boys will be
glad to get started and shaw the peo-
| Dle of Meyersdale that they have a
i strong team. There is no reason why
| they should not be well supported, |
not only by the H. S. students, but
. by the people of the town.
General News.
Orchestra—The H. S. orchestra is |
hard at work in order to make their
debut on December 3rd, a success. Al-
thouh there is a scarcity of musicians |
in the school, those who are in the
orchestra can surely make enough
noise. It is not too late to join, and |
the members will welcome all new
members. (They need company.) |

The Glee Club.
The Parent-Teacher’s Association

club and a few new students respond-

Senior Banquet
Much to the surprise of the senior
girls, last Friday afternoon, their
fellow classmates, the senior boys,
cordially invited them to attend a
banquet given in their honor ih the
social rooms of the M. E. church.
Promptly at 8 o'clock the class was
assembled, as well as every member
of the faculty and then the fun be-
gan. Games were indulged in, and
music rendered by a Columbia ma-
chine, until 9:30 when the boys an-
nounced that the “feed” was ready.
The class colors, blue and gold, and
the class flower, a marguerite, were
tastefully combined in the table dee-
orations and in the center of the ta-
ble standing high above everything
else was the loving cup which was
won by the seniors at the recent
track meet. The girls all unite in de-
claring that “the feast sure was there
aind that the senior boys know how
to entertain.
Misses Hoover and Just and several
of the boys’ mothers kindly assisted
in preparing the repast. After play-
ing several more games during which
the pupils discovered things about
their dignified faculty, they all de-
parted for their homes.
The Girl Hikers’ Hike.
The G. H’s of the M. H. S. took
their second hike on Thursday even-
ing at 4:15 when they scaled the
heights of Saylor Hill. All enjoyed the
hike and especially the apples dona-
ted by “Mrs. Murphy.” All are ready
for the next hike when they expect to
use their bob-sleds.
Class Items.
Fred Groff said that any one who
wanted to know the history of his
nickname, “Hammer” would be in-
formed if that one would let him or
her call at their home and explain
plain. Now is the time for some fair
