Complimentary season tickets for the football games were donated to the sponsors of the football team. William Brickel/ president of the Boys’ A. A. and Ruth Hull, president of the Girls’ A.A.,spoke at length in the assembly room on the manifesta- tion of a wonderful school spirit in getting back of the movement of the sale of tickets. Teams led by President Brickel and Secretary Sutton of the Boys’ A. A. and President Hull and Secretary Czuleger of the Girls’ A. A. are staging a spirited: contest to determine what association is capable of selling the most tickets for the first game of foot- ball. Helen Czuleger and Foster Sutton gave a little“pep” talk in chapel con- cerning this movement. A representative of the D. Apple & Co., manufacturing jewelers of Lan- caster, called on' the members of the class of ’31 and ‘furnished a design for a standard ring to be worn by the ‘classes that graduate. The designs submitted are without question very pretty. However, nothing definite has been done concerning them. In order tostimulate sales, each student selling twenty tickets for the first two games will receive a season first two games willreceive a season ticket. . Also each student selling ten tickets for a game will be entitled to a free ticket for that game. Another way we are going to try to make money is to sell candy and chew- ing gum at each game. Jeanne Disque and Helen Czuleger have been appointed as advertising committee for the game on Friday be- tween Wyoming Seminary Junior Var- sity and ‘Dallas High School. Mr. Himmler has agreed to advertise our football game between Wyoming Seminary Junior Varsity and Dallas High School at the ball park on Octo- ber 4.

Without spicing our foods we find something is lack to our taste. We know that we are living in the twentieth century today. If this name be given to a paper, all boys and girls would probably make a rush to read the events. They will think of the early voyage made in search of finding spices and also know that some spices are tasty and strong. If the spices are tasty and strong, the news from all schools will be facts, pleasant and interesting to all who read them.

Practically every pupil finds himself a participant in learn what the school year of 1929-30 some sort of project which will try his powers in fields other than those strictly scholastic. Each one notes with pleasure the evidence of growing unity among the high schools of the vicinity, as manifested by the school page in the Post. Ninety-two high school pupils have agreed as one to acquit themselves creditably for their school and for their community of schools. Athletics, debate, music and dramatics afford opportunities for every pupil to develop various abilities which ‘might otherwise remain undis- covered. Seniors Sponsor Lyceum Partly as a business project and partly to build their fund for a tour to Washington, the ‘senior class will present a lyceum course of five num- bers. The members: of the class are now busily engaged in selling season tickets, which cover the five enter- tainments for the price of three. The first number, the Novelty Entertainers, will be presented next Thursday, October 10, at 8 p. m., in the high school auditorium. Football at Lehman A considerable effort is being made to keep abreast of latest athletic de- | velocpments in this vicinity by organiz- J ing a football team. Lehman has some excellent material but it can Le de- veloped only under the greatest handi- caps. Most of the boys who desire to play come to school on a school bus and evening practice necessitates a walk of several miles for many of them. Nevertheless they have been practicing in the rudiments of the game, and will probably be able to play a few games later in the season. Most injuries which occur in football are due to inexperience and a lack of prac- tice, and for this reason they are not permitted to play until better prepared. A maximum of enthusiasm with a minimum of preparation is acombina- tion likely to hinder the growth of footbal spirit in any community.

But one felt that this blaze was noth- ing but make-believe. Dae Nature was really placid and calm and there was the contentment of accomplished life task in her breezing. The elderly school teacher, walking home from school, was touched by this content- ment which seem to flout in the air. She was thinking of all the first grades which she had sent up the educational | ladder into life. She ‘had always taught the first grade ‘and she would not have changed for anything. They were so interesting those youngsters. For most of them it:was the first step from home into a social group. ‘How | differently each reacted to the new ex- perience! Take the Farrell children. She had had the two older ones in her grade some years back. And this year the youngest, Ann. But there was Mrs. Farrell on the front porch reaching. Might as well stop for a chat. They won’t last much longer, these front porch visits. ‘And the teacher liked Doris Farrell. There she was smiling a welcome. “Well, Miss Blake, it's real nice to see you. You lcok as if you had had a most pleasant summer.” “Thank you, Mrs. Farrell. Yes I feel quite ready for another busy win- ter. May I stop for a minute?” “I have been hoping you would. Come up, please, and take this chair. I think you will find it quite comfort- able. What do you think of my new scholar?” “I have just been thinking about the difference there is between your chil- dren, Mrs. Farrell. 1 remember John on his first day in school. He was shy with the children, and could not get along with them at first. And he wanted constantly to attract my atten- tion. Then there was poor little Mil- dred, three years after John. I ad- mit that I felt helpless before her deluge of tears and her constant de- mands to go home to mother. Even after she got over this stage she was retiring, bashful, even sullen. Always afraid of the other children and a cry baby. She provoked the others to pick on her. “Now Anne was so different. She is far the most pleasant young woman I have in 'my grade. She walked into the class, her eyes wide open with. eagerness for the new experiences ahead of her. Before the class was called to order she had inquired of many children their names and where they lived and was as free of self- consciousness as if she had gohe to school with them always. She was neither showing off nor was she hid- ing in the background. “You are one of the fey readers who know and face their children’s shortcomings as well as their good qualities. I have been wondering how you would account for these dif- ferences in them!” “You certainly remember them well,” said Doris. “How do you all the children you meet each yeer The teacher smiled. ‘“They are prac- tically 'my only interest in recent years you see. hey have become a hobby | | with me.

Mr. McCaughey, a member of Lake- ton faculty, successfully organized. the team last year and has spent a few hours training it this season. day the boys practice before many students as spectators. There are, however, a few handicaps facing the team, such as lack of suits and no outside opponents for practice game, but don’t let that make you think that Laketon does not have a superfine team. The squad has nearly all of last year’s players, and some promising new material. ‘With John Kuchta, full- back, as distant kicker and with his speed there little to worrk about Lake getting the ball through the goal posts. Earl Paine (‘“Painie”), captain, has wonderful. tact and zeal for fifilling the positin of quarterback. William Delranic and Conrad Hil- bert, two new students, have come to the team’s rescue as guards. Thomas Traver and Peter Kuchta hold down the tackle position. The halfbacks, Swanson and Montross are showing much speed in carrying the ball. “Red” Kocher is the fiery player at center. “Andy” Laprosky and Steve Hallowicr show much promise. Hallowich show much promise as ends. The substitutes are Anderson, Smith and Grey, who know the points of their position. When the Laketon team opens its season on October 11th with Dallas Borough school, you will be surprised, to see the work of a fast moving, alert organization. ———O NEWS BRIEFS FROM DALLAS TOWNSHIP SCHOOLS The Dallas township schools have joined the Educational Thrift Service and are banking regularly eoch Tues- day.

I kept her with me constantly and made a great deal of her falls and bumps. John was always warned to be careful of her and I was afraid to let ‘her play with other children. I have learned since and tried to correct my mistakes, but the poor girl is still paying for her mother’s over-anxiety.” “So that’s how you learned your new taactics. I am anxious to know what charms you worked on Anne.” “Very simple ones, my dear Miss Blake. I have simply realized that a child has to learn how to associate with people.
