“FIRE LANE” SUGGESTED In most towns, following a fire truck short of a given distance is a violation of law and subject to a fine. This has been a practice of several in Syracuse and should be stopped. Auto drivers should knoWthat a red light or a siren has the right-of-way, and when seen or heard, should clear the street or road at once by parking for a safe length of time. I would suggest that the street from the fire station south andeast to Huntington street be marked “Fire Lane” and traffic barred for 10 minutes after a fire alarm.—Lloyd Disher. e. ; INDIANA RURAL YOUTH PLAN JUNE CONFERENCE Initial plans were made February 5 for the 1940 Leadership Training School for Rural Youth which will be held campus of Purdue University, June 17 to 21, according to a statement 1 made by Cyprus L.

BOY SCOVT WEEK OBSERVES THIRTIETH ANNIVERSARY The Boy Scout Movement was founded in America thirty years ago this week. Most of us have watched it grow and gain in influence, with great satisfaction. It is something vital to ‘‘The American Way" and through three decades its s rvice has gained the confidence of all people. It would] be difficult to , point to any single quality of the Movement and say with positiveness, “Here is what makes Scouting great." Rut in our judgement one of its outstanding contributions to the nation, particularly in these times of world travail, is its sim-ply-worded Twelfth Scout Law. It epitomizes all that we. ns a people stand for; all that our forefathers pioneered for when they were fashioning a safe homeland out of a wilderness. Read its stirring words. They are worth memorizing and, more than that, they should be lived by all of us who have the high priviledge of being Americans. Here is the Twelfth Scout Law: A Scout is reverent. He is reverent toward God. He is faithful in his religious duties, and respects the convictions of others in. matters of custom and religion. All Americans worthy of ] the name, all who believe in the Declaration of Independence, the Bill of Rights and the Constitution of the United States have an abiding faith in such a principle because it is their very guarantee that so long as it is a living thing they will always be free.and independent. Here’s a little daily “constitutional” recommended by the Chicago Motor club safety bureau for motorists who may be a trifle too self-satisfied at their no-accident record: “WHAT HAS NOT HAPPENED TO “ME IN THE PAST 15 YEARS OF DRIVING CAN HAPPEN TODAY IN ONE SECOND.” 1!

First Grade. February is the shortest but the busiest month of the school year. Our poem for the month begins, “O little month of February, you are filled with big events.” Paul Disher, Jack Darr and Gareth Meek have birthdays along with the other great men, this month. Marcia Fobes, Janis Weimer, Delores Bell, Karl Hoover and Dick Kitson were the absent ones at the beginning of thjs week. Our Valentine box will be put up soon for our Valentine exchange on February 14th. We will learn many new songs and have many interesting stories and handwork this month. In checking our gain in weight as the result of our milk, we find an average of from to 3 lbs. for each child getting the milk. Second Grade. We had only three children absent Monday—Lowell Barnhart, Betty Peterson and Jack Lee Dull ng. We hope they will soon be well. Our grocery store is open for business, and we’re working on making change with toy money. We have also begun a new unit of work on cotton in our “Round About You” readers. Nadena Mae Coy celebrated her eighth birthday February sth. We all saw our shadows on* Groundhog Day with the help of the slide machine in Mr. Cook’s room. The results will be seen on St. Valentine’s Day. Sixth Grade. Donna Galloway is back in school after a siege with the mumps. Lowell Poyser is reported as much better and may be back in school this week. Jack Wright is still out with mumps and tonsilitis. Elaine Willsey is the new case of the mumps reported in the Sixth Grade. Sickness almost reached the point of an epidemic in January. In that month there were 706.5 days of absence. Our enrollment is 190. A table of absences and enrollment for each grade for the month of January follows: Grade 1, 40 pupils, 182 days of absence; Grade ?, 32 pupils, 121.5 days of absence; Grade 3, 43 pupils, 164.5 days days of absence; Grade 4, 38 pupils; 110.5 days of absence; Grade 5, 26, 63.5 days of absence; Grade 6, 34 pupils, 39 days of absence: Ungraded, 17 pupils, 25.5 days of absence. You can readily see under what a handicap the teachers of most of the grades have been working, especially in the first four. Mumps and chicken pox account for most of those absences while bad colds was another contributing factor. We felt, however, that the worst has been passed and that the record from here to the end of the term will be better. After weighing the pupils in the first grade February 1, and comparing them with the weights of January 1, we have found that every child who received two or more bottles of milk daily have

gained from one to two pounds. Opportunity Room. Those who have made “A” in spelling this week were Annabelle Droke and John Kline. Margaret Whitman scored “B.” We have been making some very pretty paper baskets for our handwork. IWe are spending the time given to “Opening Exercises” in telling or reading stories about George Washington or Abraham Lincoln. Seventh Grade. * We have started a new chapter in history about our transportation system. Rosemary Telschow. last week, gave us a very interesting talk on “Women in Industry.” I addie Laughlin and Joe Rapp also gave interesting talks on our manufacturing nation. It seems that three boys were arguing over a certain girl in music class and we ended up by singing “Let Me Call You Sweeti heart,” which Mr. Gustafson thought was appropriate for the day. We voted for new captains for our rows in arithmetic class. They are: Laddie Laughlin, first row; Joe Rapp, second row; Dorothy Baker, third row; Dale Wingart. fourth row; and Rosemary Teischow, fifth row. Eighth Grade Epics. We are glad to see Donald Niles and Wayne Blakesely back in ‘'school after a long stay with the mumps. It seems that our team has a hot streak, for it defeated Milford last week and the juniors last Monday. Mr. Beck says after we defeat the seniors (I hope) we should play on the first team. (Wow!) That game with Milford proves one thing—we have a talented yell leader among us. Help! Help! Anyone understanding the following terms, please notify me immediately: Coordinate conjunctions, Complex sentences, and adjective clauses. Information please; What’s this I hear about Mr. Fidler changing his science class to an art class for the benefit of the more artistic girl’s. — J. M. Sophomore News. The sophomore girls beat the freshman girls 8 to 5 Wednesday noon in a comeback basketball game. Last time they beat us one point. Why did Betty Henwood try to bury Silas Marner’s little brown earthenware jug Wednesday afternoon in literature class? Betty, weren’t you listening? Junior News. Hi, Keeds, After a couple weeks of vacation from our Who’s Who, we bring you two girls constantly seen together and great pals, Josephine “Joe” Gordon arrived one swell morning, May 1, 1922, here at Syracuse. She has brown hair and eyes and is just the “right” height and weight. Joe’s hobby is dancing (Yeh, man! An’ I don’t mean mebbe!),

and to a favorite tune, “Careless.” Her most liked color is old rose, and for swell eating, serve her up a frozen fudge sundae any old time! (And who doesn’t love them?) Her pet peeve—Warsaw’s handsome drummer. I wonder, or is that a deep, dark secret? Joe’s ambition—to become a great singer with some famous orchestra, and she could do it, too. ' On August 23, 1922, the stork flew to Syracuse, and Miss Etta Christine Traster got her first glance of America. She has been a member of our class nine years, spending the others in Milford. She is 5 ft. 2 incies tall, weighs about 116, and is one of “those” blondes with blue eyes. She, too. loves to dance, and her tune. “Three Little' Words.” ’Teen, as everyone calles her, likes blue, the color of her eyes, relishes escalloped potatoes, and her pet peeves are all the conceited Warsaw boys. (Mv. My! Why pick on Warsaw?) We’ll have to call on Sherlock Holmes for the solution. ’Teen’s ambition—-to become a home maker and keep some fellow (?) well-fed and happy. So long for now again, “Scatterbrain” Senior News. We seniors all have our likes and dislikes, as everyone does, but we all have a favorite song that we go around trying to sing. The rest of the high school can usually tell it’s a senior, and just who is singing, by the song. So here’s a list of the seniors and their favorite songs: Jeanette Causer — she’ll be “Faithful Forever.” Bernard Crouch—- "So Shy.” Mona Firestone—“ Billy.” Thurlow Mock—“ The Man Who Comes Around.” Mary Galloway—“ You’re the Only Star in My Blue Heaven.” Jack Stoelting — is she just “Careless”? Betty Harkless — “I’m Wild

(More next week.) June Metcalf is slowly recovering from the mumps and a nervous breakdown. She has returned home with her parents to fully recover and will return to school next week. The class got June a plant and took it to her last week. The seniors have fully decides upon announcements. Instead of the Indiana gold seal on our diploma’s (which we are hoping to receive), there will be a picture of the school building which the class voted on last week. On our economics class, Mr. Slabaugh has given each member of the class a number in order for recitation. All we lack, seniors, is a striped suit and a cap. 17,000 MILES OF NEW HOADS IN 1939 More than 17.000 miles of all types of highways were completed in the United States during the 1939 fiscal year, according to the Chicago Motor club. This figure represents an increase of 1,800 miles over the previous year. Other highway improvements for the year were: elimination of 382 grade crossings and protection of 438 crossings by signals and other devices. The Boy Scouts of America was incorporated under District of Columbia laws on February 8, 1910, and received a Federal charter on June 15, 1916. x Harry Coy ‘‘Free ‘Wimpy’ at Dixie.”
