ThlB was an error on our part as the Jail sentence bus not ben abolished, but made more of a "side Issue," but the disfranchisement disfranchise-ment sentence has been cancelled upon the recommendation of Mr. Miner. Mr. Miner gave as reasons that It was detrimental to school activities, as some violators of the law, have as their punishment been deprived of the use of the gymnasium, gymna-sium, and among these was a prospective pros-pective player on the team who Mr. Miner eays and as we all know, is needed very much. Not only is it this one case but should one or two others, who a.'e likewise as much needed be put out it would make it Impossible for Mllford to enter the basket ball league. This naturally! would be a drawback to the school, and accordingly the sentence was made void. Fine, hard labor or imprisonment whon the others cannot be applied, now constitute the punishment for the law breakora, and so far has proved as useful as the disfranchisement disfranchise-ment Bentence. Chief of Police, Sam Hickman, appointed two new policemen last week to fill the vacancies made by the resignation of Eugene Pitch-forth Pitch-forth and Burnette Fotheringham. The new policemen are Sydney Thayer and Clinton Bond. Harry Ravis the prosecuting attorney at-torney Is getting to be a "shark" on that cross-quiz stuff, dont you know. Upon being soaked a dollar apiece for breaking some chairs the defendants defend-ants exclaimed that "Nat" has lost his heart. And to be sure he has It's In Beaver ( ? ? ). The mayor trying to call a council coun-cil meeting reminds one of "Bryan running for President." Herbert Kaufman said "as broad-guaged broad-guaged men acquire wisdom, they reconsider their hasty, obsolete, injudicious in-judicious and superficial notions. '-We '-We hope that those who said that student government would ' never succeed in the B. C. H. S. will acquire ac-quire some of that said wisdom. General The students of the Beaver County Coun-ty High School wish to express their appreciation of the liberal space granted to them by this paper, for the purpose of enlightening the public' pub-lic' upon the various educational problems and progress being made by the students. The people of .Milforrl and Reaver County in general gene-ral should be proud of the Beaver County News, because it has not only granted to the High School at .Milford news space, but it has done likewise to the other high schools in the county, and by this, it has proven Itself a friend to education. Mr. Ramsey, we thank vou very-kindly. very-kindly. Beginning with this issue, the High School news will be written under four heads, namely, educational, educa-tional, social, governmental and general. This is being done so that Hie readers may see at a glance what is being done under each department. depart-ment. Educational The typwriting class is progressing progress-ing very rapidly and the students are running out the copies in great style, a i s I; I k j; a s d ! ; I k j is the tune they play, while they "peck" away all the while. The junior class has just finished the study of Shakespear's "As You Like It" and is now studying "Milton's "Mil-ton's Minor Poems." It is hoped that the library now being planned will soon be a "live thing." It is really pitiful to see the students who have been assigned assign-ed certain subjects in which references refer-ences are required, come into what is known as the "library" up here, and begin a search through the "half dozen books" for their composition material, etc. As these are high school notes, written by high school students, they should be, and we are going to make them be for the best interests in-terests of the B. C. H. S. Therefore There-fore we are not criticizing anyone, because there is no library, because we realize the difficulties which have had to be overcome in the establishment es-tablishment of this high school, as there is in any new undertaking, no matter what it is, but is mentioned mention-ed only that it is known that a library li-brary is essential, probably more than any other thing at . the present time. We know as well as anyone that everything cannot be had at once, but now that the thing is under un-der way, and a few have taken the responsibility of supplying the needs of the many, everyone should do his or her part in assisting to the best of his or her ability. Please do not be confused, this is not a library for the high school only, it is for the people of Milford. Let everyone co-operate and help make a beginning, nothing can be finished until it has first been started start-ed All that is necessary to build from this little beginning, an organization or-ganization of broader scope, and one which will cover all the phases of community life, from which we will derive social and educational benefits, bene-fits, is a little effort on the part of each individual; these bound together to-gether produce the accomplishment of human endeavor. V The boys in the manual training department under the efficient instruction in-struction of Mr. Larson, are making some very attractive and practical articles. A medicine cabinet, made by Clarence Renswick is certainly worthy of praise, and it will certainly cer-tainly be found a very useful article in his home. Others are doing equally as well on various articles. |
