HOW TO GET THE
MOST OUT OF SCHOOL
After the Battle of Crecy, tb.e crest
of King John of Bohemia was found
._ on the field .bearing the motto, "I
serve." .
He, who get the most out of
school must C:h.erish the same idea,
for in school, as in lif,e, the hi-ghest
satisfact ion is to be .f1ound in giving,
not getting. 'l'he boy or the girl, who
thinks first of tb.e interest of tn"
sQ!looi, who is eager to J.id any en
tenprise which will be to its benefi t,
who is will.ing to sacrifice time and
personal advan age for its welfare, is
the one who -wtil find sclwol a de
light a nd its memory ::t l asting sat-
isfaction:
,such a pupil has the finest sort of
sch'ool , spirit, for spirit consists. not
so much in Ch.eering the team on to
victory, or even in supporting it in
times of defeat- important as such
s upport is-as in being loyal to its
ide:ts and purposes. School spirit in
fact, is not noi se, it is an attitude .of
mind and heart. It shows itsel f in
:Pride in the appear a noe of th e
school and its s urroundings, and in
tb:oughtful c :ne of its .property. Pu-
pils, who have' true sch'ool spirit ar e
considerate of schoolmates and t each
ers and are e nthusiasti c and loy:tl
supporters of all school activities.-

THE ART OF SKIING
Not more than six ye,1r s ago, ski-
ing was npt heard of in connection
with actual participation. Not so to-
d ..1.y, howerver .
Considering the prop.e,i length ot
skiis is a difficult problem. The best
method of determining the proper
length is :by standing with the ri ght
ar m extended a b.ove the he-ad; the
The first effort s .should be confined
to level, open country, until one be-
comes .acquaint ed with the knack of
the thing. The skiis are not lifted
from th1e, snow t:ts in ordinary wa lk-
ing, but are . . r ather slid along in a
swaying, gr.aceful movement. Stand-
ing on the right foot, first throw the
body forward by a short side push
of the right foot. Stick out then with
the left foot, suddenly throwing the'
weight of the body on- the l e.rt f,oot.
The r esult i s thlat the skier will g lide
forward on the l eft skii. In this way
the runner soon glides forward two or
three l engths of the skii s at a stride,
and at a.n amazing rate of speed . The
snake, 1lor instance, i s a wonder ful
ski 2r ,' .except t h'at he uses one instead
of twro gliding surfaces.
TJhe ma-y be learned by per-
sistant reocperimentinrg rmd tby closely
observing a mo.re snC'cessful runner.
H1lf of the game is to keep the body
forward, never 'backward, and to
have unlimited confidenc.!J in YOu.r
self. Of rt mrse, there will rbe "spills"
- powe.rf ul ones-he,: d ,over heels,
perha1JS, two or t hlre<e times, but old
man gravity m1y always be r elied up-
on to right you without too much
strain or str:ess.
' Practi-ce to 'keep your feet a com-
for'f 1bl e di stance apart -and fo-cked
pamllel, for when your J. egs begin to.
s eparate, it is only a n._ 1tter of sec-
onds until you are schedul ed for a
fa ll.
Do not ove.rdo at first , fo,r skiing
is a Yery str.nuous game until one
becomes accustomed to it. So. take it
easy to avoid sore muscles and. stif-
fen ing up, which invariably is the re-
sult of att ending one w.ho is -foolhardy
ancl tri-es to learni n a rush.
Don't become so interested in the
pure technique of the sport, howev.e,r
that you -fo-rget to observe mother
nature's wintry glories Scenes of
this time of yeu present one of the
most maje.stic forms of beauty, and if
you but take it all in, you c1n store
your memory with many wonderful
pictures that will never be forgotten.
