THESE LITTLE NORTHERS
Remind us that there are more coming. It is now time to get
the home ananged for the winter. Got to get out the old
heaters and brush them up, the moth balls are to be shaken
out of winter clothes, and a little pep put into our actions—
for winter is coming by and by.
JUST RIGHT NOW
A little reminder that we are ready to let you have a now
part for the old stove. A new rug would make your living
100m look like new; Window p^nes will have to be put in, anu
a new window curtain would ketp out that old giay, cold
look of winter.
MULL THIS AROUND

EDITORIAL
CHAPEL MORNING.
The students of Saint Jo Higo
School surely do like chapel. How
they rejoice when an unfamiliar car
appears about the time the first bell
rings. There is still more excitement
in the study hall as the students
uess who the unknown visitor may
be, and if he will hold chapel, and if
so, how long will it be. Chapels are
especially appreciated on mornings
when tests are anticipated. Mr.
Wright's chapels please us, but would
be still more pleasing if they kept us
out of all first period classes.
When the time comes for chapel
down the stairs go the High School
students. Into the auditorium they
stream, scrambling for seats. The
freshmen sit on the front rows, tho
not on account of their extreme big-
otry, while the "dignified" seniots sit
on the back. Usually all sing "Am-
erica," (if they know the words) or
some other such song. Then Mr.
Wright introduces the speaker of ttu
morning. After the storm of ap-
plause the students resume their us-
,ial calm, and listen to the first words
of the speaker. In a few moments,,
if the specch is mediocre, some of the
students in the back will be dozing
away in peace, while the others are
lost in the contemplation of the world
in genei-al. The freshmen, at the
front, must be very attentive in order
to shield the others and to impress
the speaker with the intelligence of
Saint Jo High School.
After the closing words, the stu
dent body proceed wearily up the
stairs, hoping that chapel has taken
up a lot of time, at least 45 minutes

Then came the games in honor of

off was the water mill run in which
a big fellow wone and they gave him
a little tree limb that I wouldn't

Then they had throwing the discus
and throwing the javalin, running
and wrestleing.
The wrestleing was most enterest-
ing to me, sometimes it took fifteen
minutes to get a man to the ground
the one that hit the ground first wa
thrown a little man and a big man
wrestled and the little fellow throw
od the big one two times, then they
had the broad jump and carried
weights that I couldn't lift.

As last week was fire prevention
week we thought it appropriate to
publish one of the fire prevention
themes:
Danger of Holiday and Other Display
(By a Senior.)
It was Christmas eve, and the chil-
dren of Rich Hill were happy, for
that night was to be a night of fun
at the home of their friend, Mr. Wil
Ham Bradford, the wealthiest man in
Rich Hill. Every year the tots of the
town looked forward with much glee
to the coming of Christmas, because
they knew they would be invited to
Mr. Bradford's celebration, and oh
boy!, what fun they would have.
The children were in the living
room playing, running to and fro and
thinking of the good things in store
for them. Some had peeped through
the small opening between the cur-
tain which hid from them the great
tree which was overladen with pres-
ents. At last came the time when
Mr. Bradford drew back the curtain
and told the children to take their
places around the tree. As soon as
all were seated, the lights were turn-
ed out, leaving the room dimly light-
ed by candles of colors, which were
scattered over the tree. The children
were shouting and laughing, and no
one saw the half melted red candle
fall into a pile of tissue paper which
had ben stacked behind the tree af-
ter the presents had been wrapped.
Without warning the fire spread
apidly and the tree was ablaze. The
children scrambled for the door,
stumbling over each other as they
went. The results were five children
killed, a lovely home a mass of ruins,
and a happy Christmas converted in-
to a disaster.
All was caused by carelessness in
placing the candles on the tree and
failure to remove the paper from the
room.
—O—•
We mentioned before that Miss
McWilliams had her classes write
themes imagining they lived during
past period. The following theme
was written by a freshman who stu-
dies ancient history. In those days
the winner or victor in those Olym-
pic games was given garlands of
flowers and wreaths of olive branch-
mistakes intended.)
The Olympan Games.
The following
by Ewell Cooke,
Pedigo's room:
I saw a black cat
Catch a gray rat
Under Popsie's old straw hat.
"Oh!" said the rat
To the black cat,
"Please let me go."
But the cat said: "Oh! no."
The rat said: "Oh, gee!
Do not eat me
With that dirty face,
For that would be a disgrace."

"It's not the gun and armament,
Nor the army as a whole,
But the everlasting teamwork
Of every bloomin' soul."
Of course, I cannot surely say
What team will carry off the day.
The St. Jo Panthers have strength
and force,
And the Bridgeport boys are good,
of course.
The game might g0 to either side,
Unless, perchance, the score is
tied.
But any way,
I canot say.

were made. The seventh grade wrote
themes and intend to make a book
later.
Pep Squad to Go to Bridgeport.
Besides that pep meeting Friday
morning, another uplifting bit of
news x.^r the girls was the promise
that they might go to Bridgeport
the coming Friday. Mr Wright an-
nounced that the girls, with the per-
mission of their parents, would go
t0 Bridgeport, Fiiday, October 19.
If there are not enough cars for
both boys and girls, then the boys
would go by train or by truck.
Freahmen Make Notebook.
The freshman English class is
doing a very interesting bit of work,
making notebooks. These notebooks
are pictures illustrating scenes of
Scott's "Lady of the Lake." Under
these pictures are the verses of the
scene and action taken from the
book.
—o—
Pep Squad to Have Carnival.
The pep squad is to have a carni-
val on Hallowe'en night. They are
all very enthused over tha idea, and
the teachers have pledged their co-
operation and assistance.
We wish to thank the P.-T. A. for
giving up their plans so we might
have this carvinal, and we certainly
do appreciate their generosity.
Plans have been formulated this
week for the public's entertainment.
You will hear more about this
later.

What does the week of October
15 to 18 mean to you?Well, it means
plenty to us in words which are
"six weeks exams." I guess we'll all
have to act like men and straighten
up under the load. After all, they
are not too bad.
—O——
Once duiing the week violent ham-
mering was heard, which sounded
very much like Mr. Austin beating
on the plow point, last year's fire
alarm. We soon decided this was
not a fire alarm. So far, Mr.
Hodgs has not sounded a fire alarm
and we do not know his signal.
—o——
Tuesday, October 9, Mr. Hodgs,
assisted by Mr. Erm Barnes, fired the
boiler up to test the radiators. If
you remember correctly, Tuesday
was an exceedingly warm day. If
those radiators heat that well this
winter, there will be no more zero
weather in the study hall.

Cecil Siebold was able, though
still limping, to attend school the
latter half of last week. The preced-
ing week a horse which he was rid-
ing ran into a barbed wire fence.
The barbed wire cut his foot and
ankle.
——O——
As we have said before, we be-
lieve it to be "all in the frame of
mind." Although there was not to
e a game Friday, there \fras a pep
meeting that morning. Prior to that
meeting High School was a very
downcast group of students. This
meeting helped to drown the disap-
pointment of the absence of a game,
