WHICH TYPE sRE YOU?
As the year is almost over, it be-
hooves us to give a few gentle words of
advice to erring students. It devolves
upon us to tell you about some prizes
and scholarships which can be earned by
many
You all probably know that there
are many types of students who went scho
lastic rowards, Some of these rewards
are scholarships to vurious colleges,
Cash prizes for essuys or generol ex-
cellence, valedictorien, and sclutator-
lane Type A student pays no attention
in class, goes to all the movies when
ever he pleases, and hardly over doos
homework. When he does, it is at the
last moment, with one ear cocked for the
doorbell and telephone, listening to the
radio, and taking much time to visit
with friends who stop in. ‘Type B pays
attention, does his homework conscicn-
tiously ond carefully. He never wastes
Gény times Which type do you think will
win out? Type B, of course, Now, we're
not saying that any of you are of that
Type & class, but we want to impress up-
on you the necessity to be more studious,
Be more careful in your work, pcy more
attention, den'tt skip homework or put it
off. Then see how much better you are at
the end of the week. Much better, we'll
woger.
(Cont. next column)

During ‘these next few months, do
youx best to raise your marks. Remember,
& few low ones will lower the whole
monthly averagee So, if you want good
marks and a scholarship, study hard, and
“errk when you work and play when you
play, but don't mix work and play."
THE FEDERAL HOUSING ACT
a4 Short time ago, a series cf talk-
ing pictures was presented to the stu-
dents of Milne in a senior ussombly. The
sume pictures have been shown to pupils
in high schools all over the country.
They are part of an experiment to ac-
quaint the future citizens with « Home
Reconstruction Loan Plan. By this plan,
the Federul Housing Administration hopes
to solve the problem of unemployment and
to improve the living conditions of the
american peoples This project should not
be confused with the Home Owners Loan
association in that the logns are not of
government funds but merely private
loans backed by government guarantee.
We think that this methed cf giving
private citizens an idea of what is go-
ing on in the national government is a
good one which may become successful if
it is carried out further.

Ray Hotaling's favorite hobby, next
to running up big scores for the basket-

he added, blushing crimson and white.

It seems that somebody stole Willard

his locker. Whimpy was running medly
