THE USE OF LEISURE TIME By Peggy Sprunt To say that “Time is money” is meaningleiss to the average high school student, for very few of them have really learned the actual value of money. To the student, leisure^ time is something which, being his very own, may be spent in any way he choo.ses—and the tendency is to choose to waste and frittei^ it away. Unfortunately, study periods are frequently thought 'of as “leisure time” in thi.s sense. The urge to talk baseball or scribble notes to the girl across the aisle—'the whole spice of the action lying in the thrill of slip ping it un.seen by the watchful in- etructor—draws out the voice of con- ficience, when there, i.s ope. Leisure time after school is even more important. Its “proper use" is clearly understood — it is a time to hurry through those lessons and home work that cannot be put off, and then to rush over to the h'iend’s house or the vacant lot to make plans for the evening. .At least, nine Out of ten would expladn jt so. The use of leisure time is one of the moat important problems facing youth, and the mastery of the problem is vi tal to future success in life. If one fails to learn how to utilize it, be is Under a.handicap which can only'be ikitrirh off- by acquiring thoft, knowl- e>. With advancement time seems to 'pass more swiftly. The student who lesnis early how to make the most of the approidmately fourteen working bonrs each day presents ham—bow to pack into tbem^ intensive study, do mestic duties, dear thinkliig, and last (but not leact), recreation — has at Jeist tmveUed a loi^ lap on the road to alnd athletic field.

Throughout his educational career he sees he can get something for nothing, whidh in itself, is intriguing to any body. ~ It is. natural for many students to cheat unless the atmosphere around them is antagonistic tq^uoh practices. This atmosphere is largely built up by the authorities of the school. In so many high schools today cheating has come to be the accepted thing. Instead of a truthful attitude on the part of teachers toward their pupils, a feel ing anagonism arises. The student thinks he has “put ^mething over” on his teacher, and in this way he justifies his actions to himself and his classmates. Another contributing- factor is the tenden^' to emphasize high niarks rather than knowledge and informa tion. As long as the idea is to beat somebody else, and to gain a certain amount of prestige through “making the honor roll,” cheating will be the nitural means resorted to for such eo- caUed distinction. The remedy we rM- oramend is not ah easy one, nor a quick one. Older people find it harder to learn and practice new things than ydung people. If the teacher can in spire in her pupils a trusting resj^t and a desire to do what ia right—and best, in the end—cheating will hec<Hne less of an issue. < THOUGHTS or A SBNH^ 9f 0u« ^neiw Haldfda F««r tfo a ffotip boja A amidl, sincere group can toon estab- After the teadher comes the influ ence of honest pupila They can exert|seven clubs: Beta lasting influence on their ditssmatee by an example of unflinching honesty. were hardly worthy to be called schools in caparison with the mod ern, efficient school systems of-<tpdsy. Very little or nothing was taught be sides the basic fundamentals, reading, writing, and arithmetic. There were absolutely no outside activities con nected with the little schools, such' as organii^ athletics, or clubs of atiy sort. Today Clinton High school not only has a complete, modem course of sub jects, but also has many extra-cur ricula activities. Through these as well as through the excellent course of studies, the school is educating its studeivts in the true sense' of the word. That ia, its graduates are entering life with a well-rounded knowledge and personality, obtained not only from books but from experience and abili ties derived from participation in the various forms of extra-curricula ac tivities. Athletics, of course, play a large part in the development of an all- round person. However,* they are not allowed to interfere in any way with the scholastic work of the players. It was a notable fact that in qyery game participated in by a Clinton team, the Clinton players showed fine sports manship and fair-play every minute. Some of the q^ities developed by athletics are: sportsmanship, charac ter, and the abilitk to~Jiandle one’s self skillfully. _ [ twice a week the boys have a short but snappy drill period, and the girls take invigorating and beneficial exercises. Every Thursday morning chapel is held in the auditorium, where niany of the students take part. The activities afford something different from the regularity of school work and are interesting and instructive as well. Another phase o^_our extra school activities is the ani|ual contests in which our school is klways well repre sented. These contests include practi cally every subject in high edMol as well As debates, declamation, and ex pression. Thm year Clinton ranked un- us\Mlly high in the district contests and expects to rank high in the state contests, also. These contests afford excellent training and experience to the participants, whether they win or not. Also, in the speaking and debat ing, poise, aelf-confidence, and the ability to express one’s self fluently are learned^ .

This book is equipped with small copies <5T the actual books in use today. Because of this the pu- pils have the actual experience of ^>^k-keepii^. Likewise, the study of shorthand is the most modern. The bwk chosen was Gregg’s Shorthand Mwual with Gregg’s Speed Studies. This speed study is to enable the pu pil to transcribe at a rapid rate. Our commercial teacher, H. H. Tay lor, also helps to give the pupils the very best of -training. From him we rweive the real experience of taking dictaition. The third study selected is. the mod ern, tojich typewriting system. This enables the pupils to type at a greater rate-of speed than the older methods of typing. Two.periods were given in order' that the work in these subjects- ceuld be completed. On Monday, Wednesday Friday the periods are divided so that one period will be for book-keep ing and the other for typing. Thera ara two typewriting classes. Half of the class types the first pwod and book-keeps, the second, while those that had ^k-keeping the first period will type the second period.
