Editorials:
Did you ever stop to consider what
is the one biggest business in O’Ne'll?
Is it the Interstate Power Company,
the Armour plant, or some other com
mercial industry in the community ?
We believe that important though
these industries are, they must take
second place, and give to the schools
the rank of first place in importance
to the community. The schools of the
town touch, in a very personal way,
some six hundred fifty pupils and
and through them either directly or
indirectly the influence of the school
is felt in practically every home. How
desirable would'O’Neill be as a place.
in which to live if the school and its
influence were lacking? It is inter
esting to note that persons who are
considering moving to any locality are
almost certain to inquire concerning
the schools and churches of that com
munity. If these institutions are un
satisfactory that place is immediately
ranked “below par” as a desirable site
for a home.

HELEN.
We miss Helen Schwisow, our friend
and schoolmate. Friends such as she,
are hard to find and hard to give up,
and we sorrow at her loss.
She gladly stayed at home and
helped last year so that her brother,
Harlow could finish his last year at
O. IT. S.
.Although Helen missed a year of
, school and was behind her class, she
was plucky enough to see the ad
vantage of school and was willing to
do her best while taking the part of
“Mother” at home.

EDI CATION AND
NEWS WRITING
Murder, crime (in its many phases)
divorce, and athletic* occupy big
space in the American newspaper of
today. They are spcctneulnr and it is
that which the masses “appear” to
demand. Do they demand this sensa
tional scandal sheet or are they will
ing to read of world politics and peace,
of invention, of history, education, and
race progress? It is said that the
tastes of people arc shown in the
papers, magazines, and literature that
they read. These very papers, maga
zines and literature nre great educa
tional forces in the home.
We are starting a class in News
Writing with a three-fold purpose:
(1) to study and learn descrimination
in reading the newspaper of today as
an educational factor; (2) to study the
principles of composition and style
through News Writing; (3) to present
an interesting school paper to the com
munity

SCHOOL SPIRIT.
By Ambrose Rohde.
School spirit is the feeling that per
vades the pupils of a school and makes
them stick together and resolve tx> see
things through whether to victory or
defeat. It is the feeling which causes
hope to be ever alive within breasts
whether they are on the enemy’s ten
yard line or the enemy on theirs. It
is the spirit that makes us se» and
feel as one body. It is the feeling of
pride we have when one of our men
makes a touchdown or basket, and it
is the feeling of sympathy we have for:
our team when things aren’t running
smoothly.
Now, having told what school spirit!
is, I shall proceed to tell how it is dis-,
played. The only way, to date that we
' _ i
have found' of displaying our school
spirit is to all turn out for the games,
track meets and other school activi
ties and as the saying goes “Yell our
heads off.” School spirit doesn’t mean
going to a football game and sitting
still like aHmmp on a log. When the
cheer leader gets out in front for the
yell as she does, give her your back
ing. Cheer and yell as lustily as you
can and don’t weaken at the tail end
of the yell! Besides showing your
school spirit it cheers the players and
fires them with the will to do their
best The football season is over and
O’Neill High hasn’t shown as good
school spirit as she should have. In
fact, she hasn’t shown any school
spirit that is noticeable. True she has
turned out quite well for the games,
but beyond a few whimpers ha’ made
practically no noise.
Now basketball is here, then base
ball and track. Come on Gang! lets
show a little school spirit when we
have a chance.

WIIT DO YOU EAT?
I have observed that the vast ma
jority of people are consuming a diet
that is inadequate in supplying the
needs of the human body. A diet com
monly consumed by city or rural peo
ple at home or in public eating places
consists of meat, potatoes perhaps a
canned vegetable, bread and butter,
pie and coffee.
This type of diet is largely lacking
in minerals and vitamins or in regulat
ing and protective foods as they might
be called, which are extremely import
ant in the maintainence of good health
If you are one who consumes such a
diet you will probably ask, “What can
be done about it since it is impossible
for you to take a course in scientific
meal planning?”
No, it is not possible to equip every
one with a scientific knowledge of food
selection. However there are certain
rules which may be followed regardless
of wheather you are a housewife plan
ning meals for your family or a travel
ing salesman selecting your food in a
cafeteria.
Plach days diet should include:
At leasct one pint of milk, one egg.
two or three vegetables other than
potatoes, one of which is eaten raw;
two or three fruits one of which is a
citrus fruit; one cereal each meal us
ing whole grain cereals whenever pos
sible; four tablespoons of butter; meat
not more lhan once each day; one iron
rich food (spinach, liver, molasses,
primes, dried beans).

HOME ECONOMICS.
Plans For The Future.
The- Home Economics Department
has planned to give one hot dish at
| noon to the pupils who bring their
; lunches to school. This is being done
j to help the children who are under
weight to gain. It will also prove
beneficial to others.
The Home Economics girls will be
gin this project next week. A fee to
cover the cost of the food will be
charged each pupil. Beginning next
week a weekly menu will be published.
Miss Beighley offers the following
from her department:
“Math" in Egypt
Indianapolis News: Wise men of
Egypt kniew Euclid’s mathematical
methods fifteen centuries before the
famous Greek organized the subject
and set his material down in such per
fect form that college boys still study
“Euclid.” Proof is available through
the translation of the “Mathematical
Papyrus” which lies in the collection
at the Hermitage museum, and has
long challenged the best efforts of
Egyptologists. A report from Lenin
grad states that this papyrus has
finally been deciphered. It dates back
to the eighteenth century before
Christ, “Mathematical method, applied
in the papyrus are almost 1,500 years
ahead of Euclid, corresponding en
tirely to the present time,” the dis
patch asserts.
Seventeen O’Neill High School stu

THINKING.
j Think of the ocean, w-hen waves are
blue;
| Think of this prairies emerald hue;
iThink of the rivers of great renown:
Think of the things in its little
town.
Think of the mountains, with great
white crest,
Think of the wonderland of the
West,
Think of the pines that forest crown:
Think of this wonderful little town.
j Think of the city’s rush and din,
Honors to gain, and wealth to win;
Think of this country’s grassy gown:
Think of something in our own little
town.
Think of the low white houses that
friendly stand,
Of simple pleasures and helpful
hand,
A cardial welcome for king or clown
I’m thinking of the things in this lit
tle town.
