High School Week Next week is South Carolina's High School Week. The program opens Thursday the 26th and continues through Saturday. During these days there will be un the campus 400 of the choicest high school pupils of the state. Many of them will go off to college next year. They are thinking of college now. While down here they will most probably see Carolina for the first time, so, of course, they will form their first impression of the University from the three (lays they spend here. We all want their impres sion to be a good one. Don't argue that it will be hypocritical to put on a little "front" for them. Don't we all (ress up when we step out to see some "flapper"? These boys and girls will be the best of the state: if they were not they would not be here. In addition to the pupils there will be the teachers and the coaches. Give them a fine reception and you will make Carolina friends and supporters, who are constantly thrown with and moulding the opinions of the boys and girls of the state, and who are often called upon by parents for advice as to which state col lege the parents should send their chil dren to. The week following High School Week is "Prep" School Week. The pick of South Carolina's "prep" school men will then be our guests. All that has been said applies to them likewise. It is a splendid opportunity to help Carolina. F,veryone be thoughtful and we will make a good impression. We have the "goods" if we just don't do some thoughtless or careless thing. The Damage of Library Books Most people are essentially honest. Perhaps the reason was well put by a Hebrew merchant when he told his boy, "Mine son, never steal. Honesty is the best policy, for I have tried them both and I know." People are, however, widely at variance as to just what honesty consists of under certain conditions. Per haps the most prevalent type of what is commonly called dishonesty, is not, in fact, dishonesty at all, but only negli gence. ''hat is the flagrant disregard which people have for public property. Many a man, who would not think of harming his neighbor's property, wvill comp)letely destroy property of the same kind that belongs to the public and niever for a moment even think he has dlone anything wvrong. It is most certainly carelessness that has caused it, but of late students have .been tearing out pages of books and magazines which bielong to the library. These same students would not think of going to another student's room and dle molishing his books. It is nierely the common aind negligent dlisregardl of pub lic property that is the root of the trouble, A little thought on the part of the offenders and the practice will stop. Think a minute and consider the rights of school property. Get to Work A fter glancing over the recently posted mid(-termi grades one notices that there are quite a number of E's .scattered here and( there among the reports from the various classes. An E is not a desirable grade( to receive on a subject, but on the other hand, ani V coming at the mid term does not necessarily signi fy a ca lamity. H owever, :( does m'ean that the recipient of the samne is not (doing satis factory wvork, and should get (down to hard labor-not tom')rrowv but nowv-if the student desires to pass off the course on which the V wvas received. Many studlents upon receiving an E on a subl ject gets dliscouiragedl or madl and gives up "the ghost." Neither of these is the correct attitude to assume; the only one is that of a grim dletermination to pass the subject on the finial examination. A tions for a football man means that he will *be unable to play when the season opens next fall. Final examinations are only about six weeks off, so let all of us who did not make a creditable show ing at the mid-term make the best use of this short time and pass off our work. Evolution Now William D. Gray had a straight forward way, Some folks called him blunt, others said he lacked tact, For William would plainly and carefully say That a spade was a spade or a fact was a fact. "I'm tired," said William, "of all of this talking About our coming from monkeys and apes. Half the people I see Make it most plain to me, By manners and actions, by language and shapes, That lot of the monkey' is still left in man. It's needless to ban The theory of Darwin; it's no use of balking, For the fact is as plain as can be Man still is a monkey, we all must admit, Though he no longer lives in a tree. "Some pe(ple will quite freely, most gladly tell All who believe in this infamous teach ing Their path leads them straight to the region called-well, It's a hot-tine resort that's the cause of much preaching." But William would say: "From a logical way, It matters but little what source we all came troi. What matters is how We conduct ourselves now What creatures we favor and should take our name from; For the past is all past and is over and done. It's really no sin If we're distantly kin To animal life of an order below us, For, believe me, the scientists quite plain ly show us And prove to us how life was begun As only a cell, Which got on so well, That after a billion or more years had run, It grew into man as we see him today. We are kin to a monkey, it's a fact that is true ('lough it makes little difference or none). But what keeps one guessing, A problem most pressing, Is not to let folks make a monkey of you."

Well, the Terriers beat us I But we are satisfied that the Gamecocks gave themi a tall scrap before they did beat us, andl we know that we lost to a good team. "Wally" pitched good ball in spite oif his slight wikdness, but his sup port cracke'd at times when it counted most. Murph, the great and wonderful, had a bad third inning andl the Birds came near pounding him out of the box, but it must be saidl to his credit that he tightenedl as the game progressed and held thenm down iln the pinches. The stars for Woffordl were Murph and Mc Millan, while the hitting of "Rock" Snipes featured for Carolina. Carolina got a four-run lead and held it unt il the fifth 'nning when the Ter riers scored twice. In the seventh Wof ford co uted again, and theni in the eighth and ninth they got seven runs across altogether.

Suflice it to say that Trinity has a slug ging bunch of ball players and a fast team in the field. The hitting of Ormond was a feature for Trinity, as was the fielding of Smith and a catch by Spikes in left. Neal, with two triples, also made his presence felt. Snipes, Holland and Rhame are respon sible for Carolina's two runs; "Bee" also fielded well.
