were living in Madrid we lived in a

surrounded by an orchard of many

REGIONAL POINTERS
We-havp something to be really
proud of this year: Roy Pennycuick,
one of our most capable seniors, won
first place in declamation at the Re-
gional Meet at San Marcos. It is a
rare ocasion when one of our boys
goes this far, and we are boosting
him 100 per cent. As far as we are
concerned, he has already captured
the State trophy, for which he’s go-
ing to A.ustin May 4.
We’re also very proud of our typ-
ing team, composed of Pauline White
and Theo Sawyers, which went to
Regional this year, after getting 3rd
at District. They came out ahead of
one other typing team, Uvalde, of
our district. Miss Jackson’s next
year team will surely “bring home
the bacon.”

was that I fir. r*au in my gedg
raphy of a land i town as America. |
From the first time I saw this word
my Ik art leaped with joy, for it was
here tha I was to win fame. My
father was busy almost all the time,
in a bull fight or in going to dances
with my mother. But while they
were at home they were always
teaching me a new dance, helping
me with my lessons, or just doing
something for me, for they adored
me, as I was their only child.
“One day when mother was in the
house practicing some of her dances,
and 1 was in the patio reading a
book, there came to our door a coach
with some of my father’s friends.
They came in, and then something
told me that I was to receive a great
blow. These men had come to bring
us my father’s body. He had been
killed by a bull while in a bull fight.
An intense sorrow overtook me, for
I loved my father dearly.
“So now my mother and I were
left alone on the Road of Life. From
that day on she lost all her gayness
and became sick and sad. Our wealth
began to decline and my mother
could not find places in which flic
could go and dance. She became very
ill and two years after my father's
death, she also died and I was left
penniless and without a home. This
was the second blow I had received |

SPRING FOOTBALL
The team closed the training sea-
son last Monday with a victory over
the ineligibles. Those ineligibles
were a vicious lot and they had blood
in their eyes but they were no match
for the team. Neither team scored in
the first half and neither team-
played the game as they were ca-
pable of playing it.
Between h^res Mr. Tate told the
team what punk football players they
were. Of course they couldn't stand
that and were determined that the
last half of the game would put
them far in the lead. This proved to
be true, and the score was 25-0 at
the end of the game.
The ineligibles played a good
game, though a losing one and the
team is going to enjoy a nice party
tonight at their expense.

CHAPEL
The Westmoorland Male Quartet
accompanied by their pianist and
Dean Pickens, presented a program
to the High School last Monday.
This program consisted of various
popular songs, Negro spirituals and
i-l a very striking but truthful talk by
Dean Pickens. The program was en-

home.
“1 spent only a few months
out a home. One day while I
walking through a park, in a
some section of Madrid, a yc
girl approached me and asked^
where a certain family lived. I
ognized her foreign accent and in-
stead of answering her question I
asked one in return. 1 asked her
where she came from. She told me
that they came from America and
were traveling in Spain. Oh! what
a joy I received when I learned that
I was talking with a person who
really knew America.
“I went with her to her people,
and begged them to bring me to
America. She told them that I was
an orphan, and didn’t have a home,
but that I had faith in God that
America would offer me a home.
The Talleys, for that yas the name
of the family who had brought me
to America, were very kind in bring-
ing me to America. I then told them
that if they wished I could help
them with the housework, if they
would give me food and clothing. To
my surprise Mrs. Talley told me
that I could go to school and before
and after school, I could do the work
in their home. That night I thanked
God for having given to me the
friendship of such kind and good
people.
I shall never forget that first day
at school for I was the only Spanish-
teacher was Miss Hoar whom I
knew just a little English. My first
teacher was Miss Hoor whom I
learned to love dearly. She was very
patient with me and always had a
tender smile for me. She gave me
courage by telling me that I was
learning very rapidly. In fact by my
first year in school I could read and
write fairly well. Sometimes I would
think how proud my parents would
be if they could know what I had
learned—really learned English.
“When I was in the fourth grade
I was about eighteen years old and
I was the oldest in my class, but I
wasn’t ashamed because I was si|
that I would finish my school,
