FA penny for your thoughts”—how
n have you heard that expres-
•
ery frequently, no doubt. You
y expect some such a quiet re-
:e fron a ifriend when you 'are
st” to everything about you.
Yet, how many of us waste much
luable time with “penny for your
ought” thinking ?
It’s nothing new that as a man
hinks, so is he. And the more he
hinks :n the light channels, the bet-
r he will be able to reach the goal
i life which he has sot for ifself.
But he is selfish if he thinks c-ily
t? himself and his aims. He is not
good cifzen unices h-r- shares his
houghts with tho place where he
Ives. ^
And when he thinks of the com-
iiunky where he lives, docs he
hink constructively or dcstructive-
? Dees he see improvement and a
right future for his home town, or
s he visualize J n his thoughts only
bject failu:es for every public e;i-j
rprise that is att^mpter
That all depends on what manner
f man he is. If ho believes in the
lace he has selected to live in. he!
rill think cf it as a growing, thr'v-
g community that is going to be-
me more attractive every year. If
o is a community sccCfer, he will j
ink only of the failures that are
head.
McCormick reeds the fc-mer class
id none of the latter. Men and wo-
en, who bel'eve in this community
id a:e willing to put their thoughts
to action, are the ones who put us

>ver 5,000 Chairman
Named For Gold
en Rule Sunday I
Forty-five states ai e now co-op-
''rating under the Sheppard-Towner
Materni'y Act to maintain a visiting
-urse service for mothers, according
Lr > r^nort by the Children’s Bureau of
the Labor Depa:tment.
In 1927, rep * ts from 39 states and
the Terr tory of Hawaii show that
here were mere than 721,000 home
•ris’ts bv nurses. Practically all of
these were to, expectant mothers, in
fants, and pre-school children in their
Homes; soim were to mid-wives.
Largely through the activities of
these visiting nurses the bureau re
ports, the infant mentality rate in
the United States was reduced last
year to the lowest point since records
have been kept. The rate was 64
deaths for every 1,000 live births,
which compares with a previous low
rate of 71 in 1924. In 1226, the rate
was 73.
The work of the visiting nurses is
chiefly educational and aims to reach
parents with advice on * the care of
mother and child. In many cases,
however, the nurses are present at
the time of birth and assist the phy
sicians. Sometimes, too, no doctors
are available and the nurses work
alone.
Letters from nurses on file in the!
Children’s Bureau recount innumer
able thrilling and amusing experi
ences they have encountered on their
visits to out the way places. Most
of the' nurses visit rural ar£as by
automobile and arc f:equently snow
bound or “washed out” on lonely
country roads.
Many counties have full time
nurser, wh’le in ethers, the nurses
are employed In t{*wn3 and by com
munities. The value of such work is
most commendable.

Treasurer’s Notice
CONSERVATION OF
BIRD LIFE
The conservation movement began
under Pres'dent Roosevelt and was
begun by Gifford Pirichot. He po nt-
ed out that the natural resources
were threatened by two great evils—
unnecessary waste and unregulated
and selfish monopoly.
Our bi;*d life is abo threatened by
these two evils. Some of our people
acquire such a taste for hunting that
they forget themselves and shcot at
birds not because cf need but using
them only as one would an ordinary
target. Therefore our bird life is
being rapidly exterminated.
Clubs are being o-ganized to pre
vent this waste and it would be well
if all our high school students would
jo‘n and help preserve our birds.

HIGH SCHOOL BUILDING TO
HAVE MODERN CONVENIENCES.
Mcdera conveniences are now being
’nstalled in our new High School
building. After two months of wait
ing, all of the pupils, at last, have
brought their dollar which was nec-
essaiy before the work could be
sta'ted. After already having a new
high schoo, the students feel that
this work is all that is necessary to
have an ideal high school. The work
will be done 'n tho grammar school
also. •
TALK ON CONSERVATION OF
ANIMAL AND BIRD LIFE.
Friday morning when the students
came to school they wero delighted
to sc3 presenti Mr. Herbert K. Job,
State Director o e the Conservation of
Nature and Education. M '. Jcb came
to the high school last y3ar ard made
an excellent talk core erring his
worl'
When the faculty and students as
sembled for chapel they wor'e glad,
indeed, when Mr. Lake announced
that Mr. Jcb wou'd talk about the
conscrvatl • ■ of animal and b'rd life.
In a very stirring ard influential
marnc 1 he spoke about the lack of
spcrlmar.ship in regard to the de
struction cf game throughout the
state and elsewhere. He said that
Over 5,000 chairmen for Golden

president explained to the audience
how, in a dream, he had seen his'
classmates as they will be ten years
empt by law, are liable to a poll tax from n <>'v and had asked them to ap-
of $1.00 each
The law prescribes that all male
citizens between the.age s of 21 and
55 years must pay $2 commutation
tax or work six days on the public
roads.
Commutation tax is not included
in property tax? so ask for road tax
pear before the rest of the high [
school as thev will be in 1938. As i
each was introduced, he or she gave |
a very amusing sketch fro m their j
future lives. They were introduced!
as follows
The fates have decreed that Joe
Sibert will spend his life selling pea-
as a vender of nuts.
Two members of the class have
startled McCormck by becoming
cabaret girls in a night club. Be
cause of their twinkling toes and
happy smiles. C ••nelia Winn and
Emma Kate Brown are quite the
ra"e oa Broadway.
One ,of our classmates has felt the
results cf trying to please a mere
man. Amelia Wideman, two years
after f'n'shing high school, fell in
love with a very lean man who has
spent his life longing to be fat and
vho had always tremendously admir
ed a perse* \ with avoirdupois. To
pFase him Amelia ate and ate and
ate and ate some more until she now
weigh-, seven hundred and fifty
pounds ard ‘s the fat lady in a circus
Another person who has joined the
circus where he displays his most
wondrous abilities is Pup Merritt. He
brings with him his partner, John
Thomas McGrath.
William Giles has just gotten out of
prise-1, having been put in for break
ing the hearts of five hundred girls
in one town.
Next, we have a renowned portrait
printer, Tommie Walker, who has at
tained such note-worthy success that
he;* portraits now hang in the Louvre
and in the Metropol tan Museum
Among the celebrities c»f the Senior
Class cf ’29, one of the girls in the
limelight cf the world is Annie
Louise Talbert She is the first and
only woman who ever swam the Med-
iterranean Sea. She is now on her
way to swim the Pacific Ocean. Per
haps she will tell you something of
her training.
The mc*7t eminent politician in the
United States is with us today and
will interest you with his eloquent
oratory in the form of a campaign
speech.
One of the girls decided that farm
products grow bettor for flappers so
she has remained in her mother coun
ty and is now known as its master
farmer. The ptfato that Ncla ex
hibits is one from her private twenty
acre patch and 's the largest one
grown since the history of man.
The next celebrity appearing cn
our program was Carrie Sue Talbert.
She is known throughout the United
Stqftes and alsc Alaska and Green
land as the sweetheart of the Ameri
can Sci*een. Her French maid, Lucile
Caudle, appears with her.
I am sure that all cf you are ac
quainted with the awe-insp:ring
poems of James McComb. As you all
know, he was recently appointed
poet-laureate of the South Sea Is
lands.
You will recognize- the domineer
ing wife and the hen-pecked husband
of the next number as Mrs. and Mr.
Talber ■, The children following this
couple, of course, explained them
selves. ,
The Metropolitan Opera Company
has kindly consented to our request
that two cf our former classmates be
pcrm'tted to appear on our program.
The famed prima donna Louise:
Brack: ell, and h3r accompanist, Hel-!
en Brown, rendered “I Love You
Truly.”
Harriett Sturkey, head of a very
popular sanatorium where weak peo-.
pie go to get strong, exhibits her un- j
surpassed muscular ability.
.One would not think of going to Co
lumbia Uriversity unless they were
able t . take a course in exprcss : on
under Carrie Mayson. We are propd
to anrcunce that Carrie is the head
of the expression department there
and also that she has received the
A B. B. S., M. A., Ph. D, D. D.,
and M. D. degrees.
As we all expected, Edna Duncan j
has become an old-maid school j
teacher Her first grade class, being
very true to life, eat, talk, and play
t:> their hearts content, and Edna
very untrue to life, docs ncfhing but
stand them up in a coiner or pat
their hands with a ruler or something
like that.
The next number showed Minnie
Pearl Strother, private secretary tO|
A! Smith, typing a Thanksgiving
Proclamation.
After this, the audience was warn
ed to beware of the foibles and fol- j
lies of the Seniors, but to emulate
theh success and their virtues.
