Membership Is Increased By
Four Schools As Bon-

COOPER, DELTA COUNTY, TEXAS, FRIDAY, JAN. 31, 1936
Pour new members have been
added to the grid district in which
Cooper High Bulldogs are to com-
pete next fall bringing the total
number of teams in the district
to eight.
The addition of the four schools
followed a recent ruling by the.
State Interscholastic League. Un-
der the new set-up four schools
from each of the two brackets of
the former District 13B will be
combined in a new district desig-
nated at 16B. Bonham, fifth mem-
ber of the upper bracket was au-
tomatically forced to enter class
A competition because of the scho-
lastic enrollment.
The four new teams, Leonard,
Trenton, Wolfe City and Ladonia,
will compete with the previous
four, Clarksville, Honey Grove,
Commerce and Cooper. The ma-
jority of the teams, if not all, will
be included on the Bulldog sched-
ule for 1936.
(35
)^Cooper High may be ticketed as
one of the surprise packages of the
district next fall if new material
shapes up well for spots in the
line. Raymond Hurley and Eu-
gene Carrington will take care of
the ends with Carroll Carrington
end Walter Chandler due for the
guard positions. Charley Brock
will likely be shifted to a back-
field post where he will keep com-
pany with E!d Robnett and Johnny
Henson. Success of the team will
depend on new material that is
expected to fill the tackle spots,
the center slot and the remaining
backfield post.

The absence of any tax request
indicated that for the present at

Since Mr. Roosevelt has said the

GREENVILLE, Jan. 29.—Offi-
cials of Boles Orphans’ Home, 14
miles south of Greenville late Tues-
day found themselves forced to
hasten plan for completing part of
extensive building program follow-
ing a disastrous fire that razed a
boys’ dormitory Tuesday afternoon
its occupants marching out safely
into freezing weather. The loss
was estimated at close to $35,000.
The fire which originated in an
upstairs room of the two-story
brick structure housing 80 boys
of ages ranging from 2 to 14,
quickly spread over the building
and had (made great headway be-
fore equipment from (the Green-
ville fire department arrived. Fire-
men were handicapped in battling
the blaze because of extreme cold.
Several children were in the
building when the fire alarm was
sounded and they marched out in
an orderly manner. Officials im-
mediately conducted a checkup and
accounted for all children.
The building destroyed was one
of two boys’ dormitories maintain-
ed by the orphanage. Another be-
ing used for older boys.
The first meeting of two exten-
sion classes will be held Monday
afternoon, Feb. 3, announcement
has been made, and those desiring
to register for the course were ask-
ed to be present. Full college cred-
it will be given in the courses
which are to be taught by profess-
ors of East Texas State Teachers
College. Tuition of $15 a course
has been set. The classes will
meet every Monday afternoon at
5 o’clockk at the East Ward build-
ing.
Dr. J. E. Franklin wiil conduct
the course on principles of educa-
tion in which ithe underlying prin-
ciples, new interpretation, conduct
of schools, etc., will be discussed.
Mrs. Mary E. J. Craddock will
teach the course of American Lit-
erature which will include a
thorough study of American Lit-
erature from the beginning to the
present time.
About $13 in cash was taken by
parties who broke into the Cooper
High School building Tuesday
night.
Just how they gained entrance
to the building Supt. R. L. Steph-
enson was unable to say, and the
authorities had no clue to the
guilty parties. Several locks were
broken to enable the marauders to
rummage the building and eight
heavy doors were taken from their
hinges to enable them to enter
rooms.
The money was found in three
places where supplies are kept and
sold to the students. They evident-
ly did not care for knives and
other equipment which could have
easily been found. A clock was
'taken from upstairs to the home
economics room where much of the
night evidently was spent. Pood
in the home economics room had
been consumed.

Bones of Monster
Dur From Gravel
Pit Near Bonham
BONHAM, Jan. 29.—Several
davs ago a citizen of Bailey un-
earthed what appeared to be a sec-
tion of the backbone of an enor-
mous reptile a few miles from that
place. Dr. H. M. Law, formerly
geologist of S.MJJ., examined the
bone and declared that it is a part
of some antediluvian monster that
inhabited this section millions of
years ago.
The bone was found in a gravel
pit six or eight feet under the
ground embedded in limestone for-
mation. Many other bones of sim-
ilar character have been found in
various sections of Fannin county.
Dr. Law expects to return to
Bonham at an early date with a
view to making an examination
and probably secure an exhibit for
the Texas Centennial.

Mr. Anderson reports that the
Cooper Association made loans to

Two entire days of diSfomfort to
everyone and minor injuries to a
few came this week with sleet and
snow striking on the heels of the
cold wave.
Motorists bore the brunt of the
sleet which began falling Tuesday
afternoon. Windshields rapidly be-
came opaque forcing the drivers
to atop and use whatever tool they
had to scrape the unwelcome cov-
ering off.
Wednesday morning found tho
entire county sheathed in ice that
made all kinds of travel, even by
foot, both dangerous and embar-
assing. Spills, that contained de-
cidedly more humor for the on-
looker than the sufferer, made the
slippery streets and walks more
bearable.
Snow began falling Wednesday
morning and continued almost to
10 o’clock. It was estimated that
between three and four inches fell.
A number of accidents were re-
ported while the streets and high-
ways were in the dangerous con-
dition, none, however, proving ser-
ious. A man, his wife and two
children, who had been visiting in
Oklahoma, enroute to their home
in Turkey, Texas, turned their car
over at the sharp curve just south
of town. They went to a nearby
house ito warn while a wrecker
lifted the car from the ditch. The
occupants suffered from shock but
were unhurt and the car was not
injured. The majority of the ac-
cidents reported during the two
days of bad weather were of min-
or nature and only fenders of the
cars and the tempers of the oc-
cupants suffered injury.
