GRASS BURR CHANGES PUBLICATION SCHEDULE
This issue of the “Grass Burr” is the first to be put out every
two weeks. For the remainder of the school year the staff will
endeavor to publish the “Grass Burr” and place it on sale every
other Wednesday, beginning today.
This schedule will, no doubt enable the staff to publish a paper
that contains much more news than it has previously.
The size of the paper has been reduced, but we hope to publish
a better paper by this change.
Since this year is the first time in the history of the school that
the paper has been published every two weeks, it will take co-
operation from the student body to put the paper over.
Buy your copy of the Grass Burr! Keep abreast of the school
news.
ON EXAMS
Each W. H. S. student should remember that tests he takes and
passes are comparable with those that come with each day of life.
Looking back over a day’s work, he finds that there are little
tests which he has passed or failed.
In thinking of mid-term exams every one thinks of headaches,
or some kind of aches. As one can not get through school without
exams, the best thing for him to do is to buckle down and pass
them.
Who was it that said, “Each day is a new beginning”? Anyway
it is not too late to start working on exams. Get books out of lock-
ers, dust them off, and study for these finals. It’s never too late
to learn. Pass those exams!
-O-
200 A
“200” is the goal of proposed sales of the “Melon Vine”. That
figure means that sales must—will increase almost one hundred
percent over last year’s record.
Why aim for two hundred books? Why not be' content to sell
just a hundred and ten this year? Since other schools that have
the enrollment of W. H. S. sell about two hundred and fifty high
school annuals, we believe that we should also.
We are all proud of our school. Why not show our pride by
buying an annual? The number of annuals sold in a school is an
accurate indication of the amount of school spirit the students
have.
Let’s all boost “The. Melonvine”, and show that old “Blue and
White” spirit.
It must have been only ‘.‘puppy
love”. between Marie Taylor and
Oscar Lee Shugart.—Oh shoot!!
"Wonder whether Bernice Jones
gets a demerit every time he talks
to Clay Belle Rhoten in second per-
iod study hall. We hope not, because
he wouldn’t be in dear ’ole W. H. S.
very long.
Jack Gardner and Glendolyne are
‘pecking it’ right down the line—
or have I misspelled it?
Boyd Blackwell is at least going
to show us his girl from Cowtown.
We’ll be expecting her Sunday,
Boyd—but we won’t tell how much
you like to dance with a ’certain
blond.
Fred Barnett, keep on writing ro-
mantic poetry to Ann Fain—she
likes it.
Who is ratin’ the sophomore Mel-
onvine Queen? Watch your step,
senior girls, I think it is a senior boy.
Why does Fred Rea have to have
a “steady” when there’s so many
High School girls that would like
a chance at him?
Don’t tell me that Buford McCau-
ley and Mildred Waldock have start-
ed holding hands again!!
The Football team as well as the
“girls” will be glad to see “Ears”
Davis coming back next year.
Sybol, patch up that trouble with
your boy friend. Don’t you know
that old saying about true love?
Everyone in dear ’ole Senior High
has become “apple-polishers” since
mid-term is near.
There were quite a few couples
having a good time at the “Theta
Home Coming”. Some were Ann
Fain and Ted Rea; Nellie Ruth and
Eldred Johnson; Charlsie Bradshaw
and Buford McCauley; Rebecca
Culwell and Joe Turner; Frances
Bondurant and Junior Thomas; Do-
rothy Ward and S. A. Wheeler; Mil-
dred • Waldock and Milburn Em-
mons; and Marie Taylor and Forest
Smith.
It is thought that Ted Rea will
eventually become a farmer because
it is a familiar sight to see him rid-
ing up and down the country roads
on Sundays in a truck. It is being
said that he may settle in the Green-
wood community.
We think Euna B. Perry is con-
templating a fire because she al-
ways keeps a fireman handy—eh!
Pearline Porterfield and E. C.
Shelby wish that the five minutes
between periods would turn into
60 minutes.
