Program Here The Box Elder High school students were entertained in an assembly on Dec. 4, by the Poly- nesian club from the Brigham Young University. The Polynesian clubs are three Individual clubs called the Hawaiian, Afio Mai, and the Kia Ora, which means welcome. The group portrayed the com-Ing of the Maori people to New Zealand, their customs, some of their habits and also told of some of the other people they came in contact with at that time. This was all done through song and dance, along wilh the use of their hands and eyes. They had a very definite sense of rhythm in all things they did, and were a great people for originating their own games. Using gaily painted sticks, four members of the group demonstrated a game that their forefathers originated. This game brought out their sense of rhythm. They also gave a variation of this game. The Maori people were a great ' people for fighting. They often would capture a tribe, then set them free with a days start so they could hunt them down and fight them oven again. The group, after telling this, did a dance used just before they anticipated a battle. It stimulated action among the tribesmen, and warriors. Samoa is a group of ten islands with a population of approximately 80,000. The Samoan club sang a love chant used by their forefathers to keep time while rowing their boats. The entire group participated in the closing song, Now Is the Hour, sung with the it. S I,1' r j ti is, f r v ife V..

Money has three definite services: a means of exchange, a measure of value, and a standard for deferred payments. Probably most Interesting to many was the fact that one will always get a dollars worth of goods no matter if the dollar is made of gold, silver, or paper and that our country was really on a gold standard. The many acts that were passed dealing with our monetary system were also carefully studied. In their work on this chapter, students concluded that money may be likened to a conveyance which brings to a person that which he desires. This study of money proved most interesting and the clever idea of imagining the many travels of a silver dollar, indeed, added much interest to the lesson.
