During your travelsby rail were you ever stranded near some railroad junc­tion where numerous locomotives were constantly on hand ready for uscf No doubt you have noticed a few switching back and forth separating trains, now and then selecting a particular car and shooting it off on a side track. Other engines, while inactive, would be steam­ing and puffing like some powerful ani­mal. No matter how much energy or how much pulling power an inactive en­gine has, it can accomplish nothing until it hooks on to a train. When there is a load to pull, when a few cars are fastened on, then there is a real duty to perform.

We are like locomotives. We can 'stand on the side tracks and snort and steam and whistle, have all kinds of energy, but accomplish nothing until we hook up with something to pull.

Now we arc on the last lap of the school year and we should make it a point to "hook up" with every activity of the school and go "over the top" this year with flying colors. ~tand by your organizations to the end, support our tra.ck events, and in general don't retard the pro'gress of your school by indiffer­ence to its worthy activities.

Our orators and debaters have battled successfully in the past for the honor and glory of S. P. N . Although we have not won laurels each year, we have always

. acquitted ourselves creuitably.

THE POINTER

Those who have not . actually taken pa1·t in forensic activities do not orcli· uarily appreciate the amount of work ancl worry involved in t11e preparation· of an ·01 ation or a debate.

The question is : Are not those who represent the school in ,the fields of , ora­tory and clebate entitletl to wear the let­ter 'S" just as those do who have won berths on basketball or football teamsf

It has uot been the custom in the past to coufer the ''letter'' upon our debaters . and orators, but is there any argument against allowin.g it iii the future 1 If so, what is the argumenU

AMERICANISM

Ours is a people with vision high but with feet on the earth,' with belief in themselves an,1 faith in God. Whether e1teni.ies threaten from without or men­aces arise from within, there is some in­definable voice saying, '' Have confidence in the republic! America will •go on! He,re is a temple of liberty no storm~ may shake, here are the altars of free­rlom no passions shall destroy.
