INTERCLASS ATHLETICS
& very important question which in
the past yecr or two the faculty and the
student body have discussed a grcat deal
is thet of boys’ athletics.
Whet chance has a boy in Milne as
far as sports are concerned? Right away
you will sey thet there is golf, base-
ball, and vasketball. How many boys can
participate in these activities? There
are four on a golf team; ning on a base=
ball tuam; and five on a basketball team.
hen you got a Cluss of sixty boys and
only cbout five of them are ale to do
something, you will naturally find thet
interest will lag.
There; 18 an answer to this problem.
My solution of it is intercless sports,
Do not luugh end snecr.e It is possible.
Tho girls have used this system for
yeurse Tho competition is stiff and
they lovo it.
Lev us give the boys a fair chance.
Let us make it possible for them to
enjoy-their gymnasium period and act-
ually look forward to it. We are willing
tc hulp you boys so why not take ection?
careless or deliberately trying to avoid
it, have not yet paid their Student
Taxe Possibly they do not realize the
importance of getting ull the money for
the budget in as soon as possible.
Perhups they do not reulize the import-
ance of having money to back up the
demands mude by different occassions and
organizutionse But we ure old enough to
realize such obligations and lack of
such reulization only makes one seem an
clmost stupid person.
It is not easy to keep the finan-
Cial columns balanced when one or two
refuse to shoulder their responsibility
to the school. This erticle is not di-~
rected against the mejority of students,
but uguinst tho minority, who make the
g0ing hard for the rest.
The tox mst be in soon. The few
slackers, who have not or will not puy,
should gct this ict definitely engreved
on their mindSe Tf they do not realize
their duties, somchow something can und
will be dono to force theso irrespons-
ible students to ccecept obligations,
when thoy ure laid upon them.
CHRISTMAS?
Will everyone hzve « Christmus this
yeer? Will Santa Clcus visit cvery house
in Alb..ny? His supply is limited, so let
us help him out a bit.
It is our custom every Christmas
$e..s0n to prepare Christmas boxes for tho
more unfortun.te pcople in albanye We
fill them with food und sometimes put
clothing in them in hopes thet it will
checr some fumilye
Every person should do his share
through his own homcroome Every homeroom
will be represented cnd .u11 the boxes
will be entered in the cnnual Christmas
ussembly contest. Each individual can
help vory much by offering his services
und seving tht his contribution is in
on time.
We w.nt to make those poor people us
happy as we expect to be. Give someone «
reul Christm:s they might otherwiso be
without.
Stop and think how you would like
it, 1f you hud to sit down to i. Christe
ms dinner of the scme food you had
ecten for weeks and probibly months.
Think of those poor children,whose only
toys ure old onus someone else his dise
curded und wno heve no shoes to cover
their feet. Think of <1] these things,
then you ura «usked to give something
und do whit you think 1s right.
