You did what you could When your country called you. Soldiers from Lockwood, Fifty-three in all, Only fifty stood At the last roll call. Soldiers from Lockwood, We love you well; Three gold stars stand For the three that fell. Soldiers from Lockwood, You dtu your best. As we knew you would, For those in distress.

Soldiers from Lock-wood, For your native land. Ton made good On No-Man's-Land. Eleanor Farren, SB. Thelma Farren, 8A- GOOD crnzEXSHrp. "In life as In a football game, the principle to follow is: Hit th line hard; don't foul, and don't shirk; but hit the line hard." These are the words of Theodore Roosevolt, one of the greatest men In America.

When he had anything to do, he. did it, but not in a halfhearted way. He hit the line hard. He followed these words and made a success. Why can't you? President Wilson at the' peace conference in Europe is insisting on the fourteen points he gave out during the war.

He is hitting tha line hard and we hope he will win ut. If you are asked to do a dishonorable thing say "No," hard and strong' and don't so meekly. Hit the line hard. The boys that went "over there" said they were going to win and they did. They hit the line hard.

If you want to be a good citizen when you are a man, you must be, a good citizen while you are a boy. Tho way to do this Is to "hit the line hard" tn every honest work you do. Leonard Bonnington, 15 years, Sth Grade. The band Is under the direction of Mr. John Smith.

We are very thankful to the Board of Education for having such a splendid opportunity to study music in school. Otis Burbank, 15 years, 8th Grade. NO. 1. PROGRESSIVE 34 "We are a class room thirty-four strong, Our organization will never go wrong.

si Gel behind your class room, fiet behind ytSur school. Get behind your teacher And have self rule." Helen Herrmann, What! Haven't yon heard of th 8B organization? Well, we'll have to tell you. The SB grade of the Washington School organized on March 28. We elected Robert Bennet class president, Ruth Smith vioe president, Alton Foote secretary and Helen Thompson treasurer. We also have a music committee, a service discussion committee, a vocational manager, a girls' athletic manager and a boys' athletic manager.

Tho president brings up all questions before the organization to voted upon. On Friday, March 81. we Initiated two new members, and our principal. Mr. Hudspeth.

The latter is an honorary member of our organization. Needless to say the fun waa all ours. We aro loneino- tnr ft innamfinn under the guidance of our officer that will make it no longer necessary to have a teacher as' far as discipline is concerned. This will make school me a pleasure, both to us and to our teacner. The name of our organization is the Progressive Thirty-four.

Every one is endeavoring to prove himself worthy of the name and Just to show our spirit you may hear us yelling "Pro pro pro gressive. Pro pro pro gres. Long live the Thirty-four, Progressive evermore, Thirty-four Thirty-four, Pro pro pro gress!" '(Inez Johnston.) Helen Austin, 8B. "ITOOTV." THE OWL'S ANCESTOR "Hooy," the owl's ever so great grandfather, could see as well as any other bird. But he had a very bad habit of staring at people until they felt uncomfortable.

He thought this was Yl TI kller nhiirst ear There are many plans on foot for Improving Garfield School, and when they aro completed our school will be even more of a credit to the community It is now. First we have plans for a hothouse, which will be a benefit and a help to ail of Garfield vicinity as well as the school. We have something s'ill more Important which will afford opportunity to hundreds of pupils at Garfield. We flre planning to enlarge our building and aro preparing for a neighborhood or Junior High School with classes oh far as the 9th 1J Included. It will persuade more children to get a better education.

Jf it were not for this great opportunity some of the parents could not ft'ord to bear the 'expanses -f fending their children to high school or collide. So they would ii.itnraiiv take 'he children out of school and put them to work Rut Garfield will not stop with that for she is still planning for norm-thing else which will be of great help to smaller children's parents A larger kindergarten is being planned so more children can at tend. And s-s Garfield Improving very rapidly it tins good attendance and is a very fine school Through the efforts of our voca tional guidance counsellor a. greatc co-operation between the school and homes is being effected which will result In a still greater growth of Kdlth Johnson.

Assistant Editor. More Scliool Papers Next Sunday NO.

Iy Vocation I would like to be a lihraria.n lie-cause I have had a little experience along that lino of work and have planned to be one ever since first went to the library lo gel books. My aunt i a librarian and she tells me not to be one because thi.ru is not so ory much money in ll The salary is not. so very good, hut what docs that matter if you like the work and can be of service to your cinnmiinfly? There Is chance for advancement. At first you gr into a library as a helper and get a' small salary, but If they sec that you are a good wnrtter or nrm that is careful, you will get promoted to a branch library as heitd libr irian there. If you do your work well there they will promote you to be cataloguer which is a very high position.

You can be 01 service to yojir community by helping to select good books for people to read. Perhaps a stranger might come into the library and want to find where a certain person lives. Tou could help him find It in the directory. Somebody might come in and ask for a certain kind of a book. You ought to know where that book could be found.

You should have a college education by way of preparation and must be a person who would not lose patience. You must be polite and al ways have a pleasant word or a smile tn give.

I ob served some ppur tracks alongside of the building on which the raw ma terials arc brought in and the manu factured products are taken away.

The building is lighted and aired by large screened windows which extend all around it. Inside the fact ry everything -has a clean white finish. Besides the working morns there is a dining room in which the ladies get a good meal free and the men pav 10 cents. There are lockers for the employees and a rest room for the ladies. The men have .1 large, comfortable read ing and smoking room.

There, is hospital room which is seldom if ever used as there are few acei dcnj since the machinery is well protected. They also have a nurse. There are aboutiufifty men and twenty-five The factory hires no one under 1. Chance for advancement depend! entirely on the ability of the worker The women get from $10 to $15 a weelf-awl the men get from 40 cents an hour up. L-v cry-thing Is fireproof.

The doo (itlis are all metal cuvered. Over all the doors is a arge sprayer.

Our new movement came as a "diamond from the fky," and you bet It's about, as valuable. We have our little children playing every day now, sometimes playing new games and sometimes playing "wing a wound a wossy." the "farmer in de doll," "oats and beans and barley," and a "little white daisy." They hae got them down pat and are always ready for new ones. The girls are bubbling over with enthusiasm and I know many of them trot to the library two or three times a week to get new games. What! You say you don't know what it's for? Well, the first it teaches In organization. Children who have no.

organization grow to be men and women wJio have none and our government that was of tho people, by the people and for the people will bo like Russia's. Instead of running on the street, being noisy and in danger of accidents, we have a quiet but enthusi a.stie little group of children always ready to hear a story or play a game. Yes, you're right, that's the newest way to teach children to become democratic. You say you hope we win. Well, we're groin to.

They are the largest makers of soap on the Pacific Coast. We began at tho part of the plant where the tallow, which comes in l.Vge barrels, Is reduced to liquid form by steam and placed in large vats. It is put through a strainer and all the impurities taken out.

It is finally drawn from large vats. Some hold 400,000 pounds of liquid soap. When it Is drawn from these vats it is placed in large moulds and left to harden for several days. It is taken by elevators to the cuting room here it" is pressed and wrapped for the market. toilet soap Is made from chips Which in turn nre 11 iitUlll soap and run through a macaine tiuieu me cnip machine.

These chips are placed in a large truck and are weighed. The dyes and plodder or mixer for a certain time nd then come out in long bars. It Pressed, nolished wnnmii Put in boxes ready for shipment.

We are taught in student government that It is our right und priviloge to have a voice in the making of the laws which regulate the conduct of the students. This' we are enabled to do by electing two representatives from eueh class who. with the representatives of the oth. ela-ws, compose tho law-making-body. Any child wearing a blue is known as a representative of the law-making body.

A student wearing a star is called a policeman' and has the privilege of arresting any child that is doing wrong. Each representative is supposed and expected to voloe the sentiments wishes of the majority of classmates. Every pupil who wishes to take part In the school e-overti-; ment must register. Otherwise lie will not have the right to veto. The scheme of student government is a now undertaking for our pupils, fTml THE WINNERS THE RACE OF I am a tennis shoe.
