The Value, of Scholarship 3 1929 Graduating Class William Budge Memorial Hospital In Relation to The 99 Rotary Scholarship ' PAGE FIVE. George Spicker The Rotary Scholarship is given each year to two fellows who have qualified, both in their studies and student activities, for this honor. Its principal purpose is that of an incentive for better class work and with other sudents to make Logan high a better school. Every fellow who delights in the spirit of competition and who takes pride in himself and his work should at least attempt to gain the distinction of being one of the winners. It would certainly be an ideal condition if this were to happen, nnd the way to make it happen in for everyone to take interest, also to try and promote interest in others. The present essay contest will go far to this end. and it is to, be hoped that this will be made an annual occurrence. There may be a question as to the student who works hard for hree years and then loses out on the scholarship. Will he be disgusted and decide that it does no good to work for anything of this nature? No I My answer is most emphatically no! Any man, woman, or child who has the moral courage to labor for three years with a definite end in view, and then loses out on that end, cannot be deterred by such a loss. In this case, most assuredly, the end is the means to better scholarship; in school and in life. ' The losers are not the only ones who would feel elated over the work accomplished, the two winners would also. They would feel deep down in their hearts that they had the goodb ; and that they could deliver these same goods" on order. I was talking to a prospective winner the other day. Our conversation, as nearly as I can remember, ran like this: Myself You ought to be good material for the scholarship. Have yod been thinking of attempting to win it ? Student I have had my eye on it since my sophomore year, and if possible I am surely going to take it. Myself That hundred dollars would certainly help a fellow out Upon his entrance into college. Student And not only the hundred dollars; think of the amount of prestige and distinction that it would gain for one. It Would also signify an amount of time well spent upon a worthy enterprise. The Rotary Scholarship has been my ideal since entering high school and I am going to continue to put forth my energies to the realization of that ideal. This students record runs something as follows: He is a Junior; was on the A" honor roll last term; has made the foot batUteam, basketball team, wrestling team, and track team above all, he is popular with other students and ; is a he man besideg being an excellent scholar. I think the idea that he put worth about Rotary Scholarship being an ideal to follow, is something to cogitate on. It surely stands for something clean and fine to the men who ?v arded it, and by the same token should stand for the clean and fine to us. As it is clean and fine, and at the same time the North worth working for, why should it not be Star, by which we guide the Ship of Our High School Careers. After all is said and done, I sincerely believe that scholarship is its own reward. We all die at some time, and when we do it is a known fact that earthly possessions cannot be takep with us. But, the knowledge we gain by studying is an integral part of the mind, or soul, and cannot be taken from us by death of thp body. in school, will undoubtedly bethe good The scholar in the more important School of Life.' Therefore, anything that aids m the promotion of good scholarship is of great value. The Rotary Scholarship does exactly this ; hats of to it everybody. t ? the-idea- Top Row ' (left to right) : Joa Bottom Row (left to right: Io - l, good-scho- lar -- THE ROTARY SCHOLARSHIP WHAT IT MEANS IN THE WAY OF EDUCATION" . By Beatrice Kearl As I sit here wondering what I can say about the Rotary Scholarship and what it means to the boys, I think of the boys I know who have won this scholarship in past years, and what they mean to their school ana this community now. They have all been worthy of this scholarship and still are. Most of them are studying now at the Agricultural College and are making good their opportunities. They are a distinct asset to their college and fellow students as they were while attending Logan High School. One might think of the winner of such, a scholarship as being a rather slow, studious bookworm whose sole interest lies in books and nothing more than that. But these boys were all prominent, well liked boys who where instrumental in the progress of their school, as they now are at college.' You. might ask what the Rotary scholarship has to do with the progress of these boys, I will say it has had a lot to do with thent, In the first plase it gave them a tangible goal to work to from their entrance to high school to their completion. It gave them ideals that are about the best any boy can have, and when the prize was won, it gave them opportunity to go on to college and study further and advantageously on their had this goal in chosen Jirolession. Undoubtedly these boys View and were trying to instill into themselves those ideals of character,j citizenship, and scholarship. TfieFe are plenty of boys who have no such opportunity nor the fpresight to see the value of such an opportunity. Most high sdhool boys are content to study no more than is necessary having no desire, or perhaps no opportunity, to go on in education and make something of themselves. Higher educa tlon enables one to make a success of life and make that success last. It also enables one better to enjoy life. Why? Because it prepares any boy for a profession that is varied in aspect. The average boy drops school as soon as commencement is over and finds a job that because of his limited education inust be one that opens little chance for promotion, that soon becomes monotonous and humdrum, just one eight-howorking day after another, sometimes with Sunday off and a two weeks vacation in summer. Because his study in' English in' high school was so general he cannot read and fully appreciate and ehjoy good literature. For the same reason he cannot fully appreciate the significance of the events of the day. His knowof history and politics and government is too limited - ledge for yesterdays events have a great bearing upon those of today. Again, his lack of knowledge in government and politics is so general he cannot take a really intelligent part in welfare he cannot of his own community through its government votb intelligently for the man who will do the mdst good and, more important, he cannot hold the office himself. Therein lies the value of a college education, it gives detailed knowledge of most subjects. The idea of a general study is true of almost every subject in the high school curriculum. To the wide awake boy, this general study should arouse a desire for more and technical knowledge. Too many boys fall into the cldss that quits, that take .the easy way. The Rotary Scholarship furnishes stimulus to go on with the high ideals it stands for for the boys who are worthy of it. Even though only two receive the money to help them on, there are others who are striving for it -- ur - 71 n Kennarl, Phyllis Parkinson, Sarah Glenn, Luvene Winward, Fern Hansen, Valine Peterson. ne Baker, Agnes Thompson, Clara Pelis, Gretta Williams, Fern Jensen.

Today the idea of the members of the family singing together would be embarrassing if it were not so funny. It seems, then, as if music was doomed to become an increasingly pale and passive satisfaction in the lives of our children. Is there any avenue of musical expression left open .to the average child? Is here any way in which we can help him to take an active part in making and enjoying music? In almost every community there are glee clubs scouting for members.
