EDITORIAL
Jealousy wha- an "vil monste !
He creeps silentlv onward and quietly
performs his weird tasks.
Out of dark and gioomy livi - .-! p^
this enemy of the world. Dissatisfac-
tion results in first a desire for som -
thing that one is not alloted to hav> .
Then it seems that on ■ can not speak
well of the persons with the one thing
he desires. N'ext, perhaps, if one ha>-
the nerve, he is openly battling for)
it. 1
Ye*, don't you agree that jealousy
is one of the many factors of th ,
economic war that is being waged ir. ■
Europe today? I>id not Germans
want more desirable lands and col- j
onies o that sh might bi f re<- from
the worry of where she might buy
ammunition and food. She thought of
her neighbors. and became «-nrag ed
because it was easy to see she wa
not econoiniclaly an equal with them.
Then jealousy with his persuasive
ways led her on until she made her-
-«-|f believe she was doing the right
thing.
Some of us are more jealous than
others, but at some time or other
••ach of u- ha> experienced a jealous
moment. If jealousy is knocking at
the door to your heart do not let him
enter. But. if this green-eyed evil has
ahuady joined you for a visit, do the
next best fhing—Get rid of him a?

HAND DIRECTOR AND WIFE
BLESSED —
Mr. Mart Becomes "I'rmid I'apa"
Mr. an<l Mrs. Hart were blessed
over the week-end by the vi.-it of th -
very honorable- Mr. Stork. ! fir t
heard the granii news Sunday morn-
ing when I wa.- informed that we had
"a new Drum Major" For tho,(. wh •
haven't as yet hea.d the new- the
baby's name js Nancy Lee, and -he
wt-ighs 7 pounds—and surely M
Hart ha-, reason to be proud! I'm su e
I am -peaking for the entire Band and
Drum and Bugle Corps, a- w II as tie
entire school, w hen 1 -ay "Congrat ■
lations. Ml. Hart!"
I noticed when reading ove. my
last week's report that I said it would
be the last one until after mid-term
exams. That statement hereby stands
corrected, for this report is to be the
last one rather than the one before.
(Catch ?)
Trades Day was held Saturday —
a week later than usual. The Drum
and Bugle Corps and Band marched
through main street, stopping by the
speakers' platform where the band
held a concejt for the crowd present.
A great showing was made as usual
I say "as usual" because as yet our
Drum and Bugle Corps arid Band have
n< ver made a showing that wasn't
great!
Grace Kunshi k, one of the out-
standing members of the Drum and
Bugle Corps, had all of u: fool' «i
Saturday becau.-e we thought it wa
she who had won the Instead
it wa: Virginia McDaniel Grace
onl> went to the platform and got th
money for her. We were all greatly
disappointed not that it would hav
done us any good in the first place,
but - - - !! We do offer congratula
tions to Virginia, though. She is also
a member of the Drum and Bugle
Cot ps.
Till next week, I'll sign off and
in the meanwhile I want you to look
at Mr. Hart. He has the look of a
"proud father" if any one has ! ! !
Congratulations, again, Mi. Hart ! !
