"SPRING IS CAME’
The above title is hard to find
true when applied to our Texas
weather. Before you get through
reading the title the shivering mer-
cury may be hovering around the
point of 32. But at any rate as
this is being written, trees are bud-
ding, fruit trees blooming and spring
gardens pretty. We know that gar-
dens are fine, judging from conver-
sations we hear: “Yep, I ade onions
for dinner and I want to know if
anybody has got any lisderaded gum
I cud chew”. Anyway, this is just
another indication that “Spring has
came”.
Spring is a grand time for every-
thing. It is the diamond season,
putting joy and love into our hearts
when we are out of doors; but what
misery it is to stay in a school room
on a beautiful spring day. The de-
sire to get outside and be free simply
overshadows ambitions of learning.
But we must have will-power and
keep up the work we have done all
the winter. There will be only a
few more weeks and we “must” make
the best of our time.
THE VALUE OF CHEMISTRY IN
SULPHUR SPRINGS INDUSTRY
BOYS AND GIRLS BE YOUR-
SELVES AND YOU WILL
SUCCEED TOMORROW.
(By Elsie Kirkpatrick)
Few people realize that chemistry
is very important and is involved in
all common work. Chemistry, to my
knowledge, is the most practical
subject offered in any school. It
teaches one about the changes that
are constantly going on every day.
And the most interesting fact about
it is that it never gets old and
stale; there is always something new
to consider and that which used to
be impossible is now possible. We
find that all industry is based upon
chemistry.
Towns’ and Shelton’s studios use
some of the principles of chemistry
in their preparation of the photo-
graphic negatives of pictures. The
four main steps of this process are:
(1) the exposure, (2) the develop-
ment, (3) the filing, and (4) the
washing.
The photographic plate consists of
glass or transparant celluloid, coated
with a film of gelatin containing
very finely divided silver bromide.
The latter is very sensitive in the
light in that it becomes less soluble
and is more easily reduced. In the
camera the plate is exposed to the
light and this produces a change in
the silver bromide. The silver bro-
mide is not exposed to so bright a
light in the shadow of the camera
and it produces no visible changes in
the plate.
In the next step the picture is de-
veloped. As the exposed silver com-
pound is a little more easily affected
than the unexposed compound, it is
possible to change the one without
materially affecting the other. For
this the developer is used and is such
a strong reducing agent that it is
capable of continuing the change be
gun by the light but it is not capable
of initiating the change in the un-
affected parts of the plate. The
acid is neutralized by the alkali ad-
ded in the developer and the oxygen
is removed by the reducing agent.
Where the plate has been exposed to
the light there will be a deposit of
silver, which appears dark because
it is very finely developed. Where
no light acts the silver compound; re-
mains unchanged. When the picture
is developed sufficiently it is placed
in a solution of sodium thiosulphate
and is capable of dissolving many sil-
ver compounds, such as the silver bro-
mide which remains reduced in those
parts of the picture where the light
has acted least. This unchanged sil-
ver bromide dissolves and the glass
remains clear in these places. It is
then thoroughly washed and dried.
On the filed plate those parts of
the scene which are brightest, the
white or blue, are represented by
dark deposits of silver, the dark
parts of the scene are clear so that
the shades are reversed, hence it
is called a negative.
The first picture on the paper is
made from the negative. The posi-
tive is developed in the same manner
as the negative, in most cases, but
in printing out the papers, the de-
veloper is in the paper, so that the
reduction occurs and the picture ap-
pears during the exposure. The
print is filed and washed as the
plate was, and to render it more per-
manent. To improve the color the
print is emerged in a solution of gold
chloride, so that some of the silver
of which the picture is composed is
replaced by the gold, giving it a
warmer tone.
STARTING ON THE LAST LAP
Last Monday was the first day in
the last lap on the home stretch of
this year. Everyone is looking for-
ward to the end of one more school
year. In fact, some have been look-
ing forward to it and dreaming so
long, that they have forgotten to
study and keep up with their work.
They have just gradually dropped be-
hind all the time and now that the
end is coming, they are having to
work extremely hard. But the
teachers are still ready to help and
do all they can. Take this advice
from the little verse in the Sand-
tonian:
Don’t give up but “keep on keepin’
on.”
“If the grade looks bad
And the chances kinder slim,
If, that study is puzzlin’
An’ the prospects grim
And problems keep you guessin’
Till all hope is nearly gone,
Jus’ bristle up an’ grit yo teeth
And keep on keepin’ on.
“Putting On” is one of the silliest
and most impolite habits of a high
school girl or boy. The student who
is not himself is isolated. Be your-
self!!!! This phrase should be one
of the beacon lights in the career
of a young boy or girl of high
school age. No one admires the fel-
low who puts on. He should be him-
self. If he is not good enough then,
he should direct his efforts toward
the improvement of his character
rather than putting on. Weak char-
acter is evident in th person who is
not himself. A remedy should be
found for this weak character, a
manner in which it can be eradicat-
ed.
Blessed is the boy who does not
try to act smart for the girls, for he
is so rare. The lady-like girls don’t
appreciate the boy who acts for
them. They prefer the gentlemanly
boy who is just himself. A multi-
tude of boys think they can get in
good with a girl if they smoke. The
harmful results of smoking need no
explanation, but the second result of
smoking to be smart is the fact that
the girls don’t tink it is “cute.” It
is well to say here that neither do
the boys of the upright type think
it is right for a young high school
fellow to smoke; therefore, the boy
that smokes to be smart has fallen
out with his girl if you are just
yourself. The teachers of high
school and the citizens of Waxa-
hachie have a very poor opinion of
the young person who puts on in
any way. A boy who curses, smokes
or gambles, when he knows that he
is disobeying the will of God, has
sunk to the lowest level of man-
kind. If you know a thing is wrong
don’t do it! No one will admire you
for it. Be yourself!
Blessed is the girl who is herself,
for she is of a class by herself.
Girls, if you want to be popular, be
yourself. The girl who is constantly
putting on in a silly manner to win
the friendship of some boy is degrad-
ing herself in his eyes. How much
more lady-like is the young girl, who
is just herself. Don’t be ashamed
of what you do. If you are work-
ing just for an experiment in the
business world. You have some-
thing to be proud of if you are
working. The working girl is to be
praised. Don’t pretend to be bored
when you know to yourself that you
are having a good time. If a boy
has spent money on you, be thank-
ful, don’t talk to his back. The
money spent on you is hard to se-
cure and you should be thankful for
it. Another of the putting on ways
popular with young girls is to make
their voices come in high and low
tone, but it is so disgusting to hear
this. Don’t put on. The modern
girl doesn’t need to smoke to be
popular, rather to be popular she
must not smoke.
we can do that tomorrow?” You
could not enumerate the times;
every one of us say this same thing
day after day. We are like the but-
terfly flitting around day after day,
paying no attention to tomorrow;
and when the tomorrow dawns, a
cold gray day, the butterfly finds
himself lost, his wings frozen; then
he regrets that he has not prepared
for that day.
The same way with our studies—
we skim along day after day letting
tomorrow take care of itself, and
when the exams come we try to pre-
pare just before we will do it. But
this is in vain, we are lost. We fail
and then is when we regret that we
have not studied every day, then
there will be no regrets, you will
pass to the next stand grade and
prepare for the next tomorrow so
that you can stand the test.

Beacon, Waxa Hi.)

ECONOMY
We are taught at home and at
school to practice economy. We are
urged to make the most of what we
have; to be a thrifty and efficient
person who is admired by everyone.
Economy of time, effort and tal-
ents are perhaps the most important
kinds of economy. Every day we
waste a vast amount of these price-
less things. We are asked to write
a theme or get up a lesson that
would be for our own benefit, and
we complain that we “don’t have
time”. As a result we find many
students standing around in the halls
doing nothing, or sitting in the study
hall or class room day-dreaming. Is
that economy?
And then at the end of the day
we hear so many complaining about
being tired. But school duties are
not so heavy that we are absolutely
fatigued by them. We are tired be-
cause we did not economize and plan
our work right. The best way to
economize on time, effort and tal-
