SYRACUSE HIGH SCHOOL NOTES Items 4>f Interest Concerning Our High School Written for The Syracuse Journal. It Should Not Happen Again An incident occurred last Friday night, which if repeated very often, will ruin all of Syracuse’s chances to regain the County I Sportsmanship Cup and rertainly will not gain respect for our high school or community. This is what happened: While one of Atwood’s players was shooting a free throw some of the home fans caused such a disturbance and commotion that the crowd! was fouled. That was the first lime in years that anything of this nature has happened to a Syracuse crowd and we hope it will !>e the last time. Whether Syracuse will be classed among the "poor sportsmen’ or among the "regular folks’’ depends upon our attitude toward the referees and our courtesy to the visiting teams. So let’s give this a little thought and then prove our mettle. Erin Fleming entertained the Senior Class in her home last Saturday evening. There were nineteen present The first contest was the hunt for numbers which proved fatal to Ray Godshalk. who found the lucky (?) number. He had to tell his opinion of each guest, and some of us learned a lot we didn’t know' "The Calendar of Events" and “The Last Will and Testaments’’ were very interesting and humerous. During the evening the game of bunco was played, prises going to Frederick Clayton and Maxwell Brower. Kathryn Richhart and Elizabeth McClintic were guests from outside the class. Miss Hammon the class sponsor was present. —— The Honor Roll for the second i month: Seniors. Prentice Kin- i dig. Maxwell Brower. Maxine Jenkins; Juniors, Phyllis Mock 1 Sophomores, Louise Niles. Ned Harley; Freshmen. Mamie Wogo- I man; eighth grade, Velva Brown. Mary Jensen; seventh grade. Alice Coy. Shirley Miles, Otis Clyde Butt, Joe Kindig, Harriet Bachman. The Chapel Services for Wednesday morning were conducted ’by Reverend and Mrs. Wyatt. He gave a brief discussion of the character of Isaiah. Toward the close of the service several songs were sung by Rev. and Mrs Wyatt, which were appreciated very much by the students. The attendance for the second month is as follows: First grade. 98.16; second grade, 98.69; third grade, 98.31; fourth grade 98.83 fifth grade. 98.2; sixth grade 99.5: seventh grade. 98.45; eighth grade, 99.3; senior high. 96.7. r You can’t afford to miss the litcmen-Syracuse game Saturday night. Bremen is coming fully prepared and so we need everybody there to help lioost our boys to victory. No wonder (he teachers decided it was timer to use drastic measures (9th period). To be exact, there were 19 pupils with X’s in deportment this month. Friday the Seniors received their class rings and pins, which had been ordered some time ago from the Inter Collegiate Co., of Kansas City. Teacher—“ What is a bucket shop?” Student—“A shop where they sell drinks to bootleggers." County Superintendent Lewallen and Mr. Hussey, State High School Inspector, visited the High School Wednesday morning.

The Nurse The world grows better year by year Because some nurse in her little sphere Puts on her apron and grins and sings And keeps doing the same old things Taking temps and giving the pills To remedy mankinds nervous ills. Feeding the baby, answer the bells. Being polite with a heart that rebels, Longing for hpme and all the while / Wearing the same old professional smile Blessing the new babies first breath Closing the eyes that are still in death. Taking the blame for all mishaps, Oh, what patience she must have. Going off duty at seven o’clock Tired and discouraged and ready to drop But called back on special at seven fifteen With woe in her heart but it must not be seen. ( Morning, evening, nocm and night Just doing it once and hoping its right. When we lay down our caps and cross the bar. Dear Lord, in her crown there must be a star To wear with our uniforms new In the city above where the head nurse is you. I. ■ ■ ■ «■ * I

ARMISTICE DAY Armistice Day last year was : observed more impressively in the United States than in any previous year. In reply to a petition from the League of Remembrance w’ith headquarters in New York City, eighteen governors of states issued proclamations asking that the citizens at 11 a. m., on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month —pause for tw r o minutes “in prayer and remembrance.” This observance of two minutes’ silence helps two great needs —the unifying force of a • great redemptive idea acceptable to all countries, all races, all creeds, all religions, all the recognition of the fact almost ignored in 1914 that the world after all is or should be, a spiritual as w r ell as economic unit and that the injury or benefit to a pari reacts upon the whole. Already the worldwide celebration of Armistice l£ay by the “TWO Minutes Silence” has been approved by people of al! countries and races. East and West by Jews and Christians. Buddhists and Mohammedans —b y friends and allies in the Great War and by the former foe It is hoped the "Two Minutes Silence” will be worldwide in its observance, when fdr one day in the year at least, men and wo men shall foregather to honor the dead and pledge themselves to work for the world’s peace, thus establishing w’ith golden links of two minutes of silence a globe-encircling chain of 24 hours. A GHOST STORY “The Ghost of Diamond Hill” at last has got on the nerves of farmers living near Wawaka to such an extent that they are planning an old-fashioned ghostlaving party. Farmers and their wives will spend a night in the , haunted house wdiere the ghost resides and will make an effort to discover the cause of the creepy "goings on”"which have been reported. On Diamond Hill the highest point in the vicinity stands a deserted farm. The house, once the scene of merry gathering of young folk of p’Gneer days, is crumbling to ruins, the roof is ceving in and window casements falling out. There the ghost is n?d to make his dwelling. Strange tales of unexplainable lights, weird modns and other haunting phenomena have been current in Wawaka for many months and several people attest to having seen, heard or felt vis itations of the ghost. Visitors at the house during the daytime are plentiful, but nothing unusual has been discovered by such timid investigators The building is constructed of black walnut they say. The barn has a wall of dead white stones fashioned by a master artison of pioneer days. A rank growth of weeds infest the yard. Here and there a beautiful French lilac bush, almost choked by the weeds thrusts up its head. An atmosphere of death hangs over the vicinity. But the scoffers only smile at this description, and promise to bring back something more tangible than a ghost when they pay their call. o FIRE AT GOSHEN A fire of undetermined origin caused approximately $20060 damage Ao the Bartlett Electric Products Company plant, Goshen, early Monday morning. The entire south wring of the factory was destroyed before the blaze was brought under control. T. A. Bartlett, president of the company, annnounced that the destroyed building would be replaced by a fireproof structure.

ANNUAL REPORT ; According to George. N. MannL < feld, superintendent of fisheries ■ and game “for the state conserva- . tion department, the forthcom- . ing ninth annual report of his i division to be made soon to the . commission wi 11 show some very interesting items relative to issuance of the various kinds of fiunting and fishing licenses for fiscal 1927, which closed Septem- , ber 30. The total resident hunting and fishing licenses issued were 251,-2-6. a gain of 54,148 over fiscal 1926. Non-resident fishing licenses were 3 255 less than 1926. while non-resident hunting licenses were 94 ever the previous, year. Change in cost of the i non-resident fishing license from $1 a year to $2.25 by the legislature. is attributed to the numerical loss, but it should be explain cd that actual money icturns were greater for the lesser num ber sold. The total gain of resident hunting and fish’ng I censes and non-resident hunting and shing licenses was 50,987 over the number issued in Real 1926 The division issued from its office in the Statehouse 933 resi 'ent and 13 non-resident licenses to take mussel for commercial purposes, resident license sold for $2 and the non-resident for sls. Sixty resident licenses to take sh from the Wabash river where it forms the boundary line between this state and Illinois, were issued from May 16 to Qc tober 1. These are known as commercial fishing licenses. Nt licenses were issued to non-resi dent commercial fisherman, pro bably due to the price, the mi nimum for which is S2O a yeai for a fish trap. Dog kennel licenses issued numbered 362 of which 339 were minor licenses costing $15.00. and .3 major licenses, costing $25.00 i he minor licenses allows a per r son to keep a kennel of from 5 "to 15 dogs and the major licens< permits any number of dogs. Certificates issued to persons holding game birds and furbear ing animals for breeding pur poses in closed season numbered 346. This is an increase of 180 over the previous year,’and 296 over the total issuance of 1922. At present there is a great interest manifest in breeding fur animals, especia'ly raccoons, silver foxes and muskrats. Only nine permits to harbor ferrets for driving out rats were issued in the year. On the other hand the report will say. 36 persons were arrested and convicted for possessing ferret and using same to hunt rabbits. •O SAVrf HISTORIC NIAGARA Ntxt to "Old Ironsides” the "Niagara,” is one of the most famous ships in American history, ut lilie the “Constitution,” this vessel .from-which the youthfu' Rhode Island naval capta n sent his historic, “We have met the enemy and they are ours.” message; is in danger of destruction. However, a group of publicspirited citizens in Ohio and Pennsylvania are planning to restore Perry’s vessel and save it for future generations of Americans and their project is one in which all patriotic Americans may well be interested.

THINGS TO THINKABOUT Review of Tilings by the Editor As He Sees Them on the Surface. — The World Is, Growing Better When we read the many beautiful things that are printed from time to time in the papers, real facts out of the book of real life, do you ever stop to think how they came to be there? Bad news, thrilling tales of horror, awful accidents, and the i "yellows” find someone always ready to bear them to the newspapers. but the sweet and beautiful things that make life better worth living have to be told by someone who has ideals and a touch of human kindness in his heart and sufficient public spirit to put the incident into writing and see that a paper has | it tOxprinft’. Our newspapers would not be so filled with dreadful things if all the world were as eager to tell of the (rood things daily done, if all were as ready to pass a'ong the story of the good that n\en do as the evil that crops out. Few are so bad but they have good impulses. We would have them encouraged. As we go through the world 'et us look for the bloom and fra- - rance of the good deeds of our 'ellow-beings and reward the wrong if we must recognize it, is we do. the mouldy earth and fertilizers which are used by the reator to make the thing planted therein all the more beautiful as it riiJes abbve and covers with its foliage all the meanness below. Read the paper through and see how’ much of good there is in it these days; plenty of charities. humorous thought and good will toward all men. Freedom of thought and free : dom of action are permitted more universally, and until freedom is truly knowm there is no '•ear power attained. Anything less than that is represion, and not mastery. The world is mastering prob'ems and we have still more to learn, don’t you think so? That Drip of Water The constant drip of water Wears aw’ay the hardest stone, The constant gnaws of Tow’ser Masticates the toughest bone. The constant wooing lover Carries off the bhishing maid. And the constant advertiser s the one that gets the trade. An English judge has decided *hat a dog has a right to a place on the road, and that it’s up to ♦he motorist to avoid hitting him. If that will save the dogs, we ought to try it O*ut for pedestrians. “J’ve swallowed my collarbutton,” gasped the husband. “Well,” responded his wife, "you know where it is, anyway!” A wise old tiller of the soil, speaking of the relative value of grains says grains of common sense are the most valuable. T jfe’s a mirror, if you smile, Smiles come back to greet you; If you’re frowning all the while Frowns forever meet you. It takes a wasp to make a lazy man get a move on him self. All it has to do is back against him and push. Wives have discovered that ’ the easiest way to keep their dishes cl«m is to eat at the cafeteria. Interesting minds are far rarer than pretty faces, probably because they’re less in demand. After all doing things right is only half as much trouble and twrice as much fun. Weigh some people and they will be found wanting in every thing except weight. When a man is going to the dogs, he usually meets the dogs ■.bout way. Some people would have to •„ work over time if they practice what they preach. How people do try to avoid work a.nd how well some of them succeed! It is a deplorable fact that ' curiosity keeps a lot of people busy.
