What Is Your Sportsmanship Rating?
Did you know that the schools of this football district are in a sports-
manship contest? Those who booed the referees at the Giddings.Thrall
football game, showing their lack of sportsmanship, must not know how
eager the school is to show up well in this contest.
Superintendent Slocomb and everyone else at Giddings High feel
that the guilty ones were not the students, because no booing was
heard from the student section.
In one of our pep rallies Mr. Slocomb brought to our attention the
fact that booing the referees by football fans could get out of hand. It
could lead to something serious and cause Giddings to have to forfeit
the rest of her games.
Please watch your sportsmanship, Giddings fans. Lets be good
loosers, as well as good winners.

To Cheat Or Not To Cheat
The day before a test, do you ask yourself the question. "Shall I
cheat for a good grade, or study and gain knowledge?” If you do, it
shows you have a bit of a conscience and will probably choose the
correct path.
But, if you’re a student who has to ask himself, "Let me see now;
which would be the least noticable; to have the notes in the bottom
of mv desk or to tape them to the back of my clip-board?” it's time
to change your pace. This kind of thinking is all wrong and will lead
vou nowhere You may end up with passing grades but you won t re-
member a thing you were supposed to have learned. And think what
you are doing to your character. .
■ if vou have ingenuity enough to think up clever ways in which to
cheat without having the teacher spot you, you certainly have intelli-
gence enough to know that, had you spent the time studying instead
of planning how to cheat, you, would probably have passed the test
with honors. And honestly, too!
