high school. This week we are

of the four classes is expected to
support its own candidate. At the
time of our carnival on Hallowe'en
night, the girl who received the
most votes will be crowned Foot-
ball Queen of the Saint Jo Panth-
ers.
The classes would appreciate the
support of all their friends in town
and at school.

Box Supper
Is Success
By HAROLD DAVIS
The sox supper sponsored by the
pep squad, which was given last
Friday night proved to be a success,
with the able asistance of Mr.
Huey and Mr. Wheat. Mr. Wheat,
who was in charge of auctioning
the sox, proved himself capable of
the job.
Each girl brought a pair of sox
with enough food in them for two
persons. The boy buying the sox
ate with the girl whose name was
inside.
Games were played by all pre-
sent. Afterward, entertainment of
informal songs from various groups
was enjoyed.
During the fun and excitement,
a contest was run to find the ugliest
boy and prettiest girl. The boy
chosen as ugliest was Rooster Chil-
dress, whose prize was a bar of
soap. Nina Faye Hammer, chosen
prettiest girl won a big red apple.
After everyone had eaten, each
left with food in the stomach and
a song in the heart.
The receipts taken at the supper
amounted to $9.40, which will be
used to pay for the pep squad
sweaters.
