Coach Leighly and his eleven went to Watseka, Saturday, October 16, and met the strong High School eleven of that city. The game opened with Rensselaer receiving the ball, but it was soon lost to Watseka, who, in the first five or six minutes gained a touchdown, but failed to make a satisfactory goal kick. They soon again gained possession of the inflated pig- | skin and booted it between and over the Rensselaer goal posts. Hence the score at the end of the first quarter, 9-0.

School spirit is an expression often used and often heard. It has a “catchy note” that sounds well. Those who use this phrase, “school spirit” should stop and analyze its meaning. They should reflect long enough to determine the source and development of the kind of behave ior which is spoken of as school spirit. They should recognize two forms of it; one, the noisy shouting kind. This form becomes excited and over-balanced; it allows itself to gloyify its own noise and racket, thereby, deeming all those who are not shouting and waving hats as lacking the spirit of the school. , Another form of school spirit, is the kind which shows itself in co-operation with any phase of ; school life. This kind of spirit | wastes no time in criticising the ef- ‘ forts of others, but pushes and i pulls for and with every school i movement. This spirit reveals itself I in class work, in thought of public i property, in courtesy to teacher and | classmates, in defense of the, school , on the field or in the study hour. School spirit has some of the marks of charity, in that it vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, it behaveth not unseemingly and thinketh no evil. Many students are loyal and > true, ypt have not the gift of loud soundings; these students should i not, therefore, be classed as disloyal and lacking in that fine ed force which unites the school. Rather should those tinkling-cymbal , and sounding-brass kind be marked ' as disloyal.

LINEUP

Observed in R. H. S. Better English is coming to delight the speech of the members of R. H. S. A tag contest was on all Good English week (Nox. ' 1-5). The Senior Class, as might be expected, took the most tags. Impressive and pertinent posters decorated halls and class rooms. The judges awarded First Prize to Max Robinson, a contestant from the Freshman Class. The poster, in pleasing colors, showed a gateway through which we had glimpses of an English University, built in Normal Gothic style of architecture. The legend read, “The Open Gate to Good English.” The second prize, went to Lowell Morrell, a representative of the Junior class. His “Clean Sweep” attracted much favorable comment. A few other excellent posters were: “America is your Country; Speak the American Language,” by Gladys Shaw, a Senior, and “Bad English is about; It will get you, if you don’t watch out,” by Lois May, a Sophomore. I Friday evening (Nov. 5) saw the staging of a stunt contest, each stunt having been worked up by some one section of the English Department. First, on the program, however, was a song by the entire audience: “Up with Good English, Down with the Bad,” to the tune of “Battle Cry of Freedom.” Immediately following, four black cats, “Shades of Darkness,” came howling upon the stag# Upon each back was a single word. In one of their antics they were supposed to have arranged themselves so that the audience might read the sentence, “We Need Good Speech.” This stunt would have surely made • a good showing with the judges, had not the cats reversed the order, so that the words read, “Speech Good Need We.”

The second quarter was an active scene of straight football, during which Watseka’s huskies again punched the ball, by means of their “coon” Full Back, beyond Rensselaer’s goal posts. They again made an unsatisfactory goal kick. Therefore the score at the end of the first half was. in Watseka’s favor, 15-0. During the second half Rensselaer played much better, although not up to their former standard. The ball at nearly every period of this half was in Watseka’s territory and at one time ~was possibly punch- । ed beyond Watseka’s goal posts, but, ! since the runner was immediately , pushed back, the referee did not count it. Rensselaer received a sis- , teen yard penalty and were unable | to reach their objective again. Hence the final score in Watseka’s favor, 15-0.

The third period was a scene of better football on Kentland’s part, but Rensselaer came far from reaching the quality of playing which they exhibited in the first quarter. During this period Kentland held Rensselaer to a 0-0 score. During the fourth period Rensselaer’s “subs” were limbered up. Quarterback Thompson made the tackle of the game, savins Rensselaer from letting Kentland score on them. Half-back Larsh made . the run of the game for a touchdown, going about thirty yards. After which a satisfactory goal kick was made. Hence the final score 34-0 in Rensselaer’s favor.

ment. The Juniors had three stunts. The । first was a playlet written by Ed- { wina Spangle and Lena Marion. 1 The play was well written but some I of the actors caught stage fright, : ' The name of the play was “Nearly i Every Student.” The plot repre- : sented Bad English on trial for as-: i sault and an attempt upon the life I of Good English. Miss Senior and. , Miss R. H. S. were the main witnesses for Good English. Gladys Lambert and Velma Kennedy, in costume,' sang a duet, । “Good English Come to R. H. S.” j The third Junior stunt was “The[ i Pied Piper of R v H. S. It was a ■ well arranged “take-off” on the: faculty meeting.

At the time the Athletic Association was organized it was promised that, if the entire school joined the Association, the basket ball squad should have new suits. Every student joined; hence, the new suits. The shirts are to be maroon with a six inch body tsripe of black. The trousers are to be maroon with black belt and black seam stripes. The socks are to be maroon with a four-inch calf stripe. The shirts and socks are to be made of knitted wool and the trousers of heavy flannel. Eight suits have been ordered. They are to cost approximately one hundred dollars.

Members of the faculty and school, board were., royally entertained with 1 Superintendent and Mrs. C. R. | Dean as host and hostess. The guests from each building were to 1 furnish some of the entertainment/ and thus feel more acquainted. i The Sunbonnet Babies carrying “all day suckers” sang several songs telling of their week’a work of washing, ironing, going to school and similar and ended by saying that when we thought of them wn thought of A. B. C. Later the extremely tall and | fleshy lady, almost instantly became slender by following the instructions of Dr. Shepler and Nurse Leatherman. During the reading of a paper entitled “Brick and Bouquets’ ’the guests were informed of the heroic deeds and wise sayings of the members of the Faculty. There followed charades and । mental contests, that certainly tax--1 ed to the limit, the mentality of all present. / » After refreshments all departed, having spent a very pleasant evening.

End Wright and Center Weiss starred for Rensselaer. < They broke • up and defeated numerous plays I which may have recorded a much larger score for Watseka. Watseka’s Left End starred for his team. He was a good tackles and very capable of hooking onto passes and in making gains. Watseka .outclassed Rensselaer in the first half, but in the second half, were equalled and possibly । surpassed by Rensselaer.

I On the evening of November 23, the Board of Education, the Faculty, and Football Boys, were guests of the Senior girls at a two-course dinner given in honor of the team. The Domestic Science rooms were tastefully decorated in Red and Black. The long table, at which the honor guests sat, occupied the center of the large dining room. The special decorations were footballs and a miniature gridiron complete with/ goal posts and yard lines. The place cards were representations of a foot ball. The Faculty and School Board were seated at side tables.

The Sophomores failed to carry off the prize, yet had some good work on the program. They were enthusiastic and gave excellent help, all through the week. The Freshmen deserve much credit for the splendid part that each section had on the program. The “Sobbing Scene” was good; “The Riot,” was another fine piece of acting. The Freshmen set the standard in the making of posters. Although the week meant an over amount of emphasis on the English side of the student’s life, yet it was worth it, to all. The whole school developed fine working ability. They were loyal, they were seeking the best of the opportunities that were offered to; them, and, best of all, they were doing the work in a happy frame of mind. Nothing seemed impossible to the Senior Class and the Faculty admired them in the new role as leader of the school in the pushing forward of a project that was of worth.

During the friendly chat that followed he proudly produced from his upper left vest pocket two pictures of his bull dog to prove his contentions.
