SULPHUR SPRINGS HIGH SCHOO L, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 3, 1929-
No. 9
TOMORROW
(With apologies to Arthur Brisbane)
Well, well; here we are back
again.
i\i $ *
There have been many complaints,
during the last few weeks, because
there has been so little to do in
school study. This week, commit-
tees from classes, faculty members,
Luke, and even the Fish have pitch-
ed in to make things stir. A very
versatile program has been planned
for the week, beginning Monday with
something different every day.
The Program.
Monday—Popularity Contest.
Tuesday—Popularity Contest.
Wednesday—Popularity Contest.
Thursday—Popularity Contest.
Friday—Popularity Contest.
* *
The Poor—pardon us, we mean
pure—Food Show has come and gone
and so has our money. We saw all
the style shows and thereby learned
of all the hidden talent of some of
our own schoolmates. The only thing
that we didn’t like was that there
were no bathing suits modeled.
if =H *
Spring has come at last We have
positive proof, and know what we are
talking about. After waiting months
and months for the signs, through
rain, sleet, snow and exams, we have
finally been rewarded for our pa-
tience.
How do we know that Spring is
here? Don’t be silly; look at the
straw hats that have suddenly ap-
peared.
if * if
If things keep on like they have
started, this building won’t be stand-
ing a week from now, for the Seniors,
Juniors, and even the Sophs and Fish
are in the midst of the Popularity
Contest, and it won’t do to have
many more class fights like the ones
we have had.
* if *
It takes money to win the contest,
though.
REV.LEHNHOFF
SPEAKS TO PUPILS
IN CHAPEL TUESDAY
Chapel services were held Tuesday
morning with teachers of music and
expression as guest-entertainers and
Rev. G. A. Lehnhoff as speaker.
Miss Elizabeth Wester favored
with several selection at the piano,
after which Mrs. Lena Mae Scott
gave a number of readings.
The subject of Rev. Lehnhoff’s ad-
dress was thrift. After giving
humorous instances, the speaker told
of the more serious side of economy.
A real lesson was carried in his mes-
sage: to save what you have and
the rest will take care of itself.
Speeches were made by represen-
tatives of each class for their candi-
dates in the Popularity Contest.
The first period was omitted.
CITY AND COUNTRY LIFE
A boy left the farm and got a job
in the city. He wrote a letter to his
brother who elected to stick to the
farm, telling of the joys of city life,
in which he said: “Thursday we au-
toed out to the Country club, where
we golfed until dark. Then we mo-
tored to the beach for the week-
end.”
The brother on the farm wrote
back: “Yesterday we buggied to
town and baseballed all the after-
noon. Today we muled out to the
cornfield and he-hawed until sun-
down. After we had suppered, we
piped for a while. After that we
staircased up to our rooms and bed-
fasted until the clock fived.”
The Popularity Contest Now On
SENIORS NOMINATE
CANDIDATES FOR
POPULARITY CONTEST
Following an annual custom, the
Senior class met Thursday, March
28, 1929, in room B to elect candi-
dates for the poplarity contest.
Myrtle Ruth Crisp, Eunice Har-
red, and Katherine Stephens were
nominated as the most popular girl.
Katherine Stephens was elected to
represent the class in the contest.
Donald Rhea, James McMullan,
and Lloyd Davidson were nominated
as the best all-round boy. James
McMullan was elected.
During the meeting interesting
talks were made supporting the can-
didates and much enthusiasm was
aroused.
When the class adjourned each
member left the room feeling that
the Senior candidates would be elect-
ed.
WHY THE SENIOR CANDIDATES
SHOULD WIN IN THE POPU-
LARITY CONTEST
We, as Seniors, feel that our can-
didate must and will win. This is
our last year to work in such a con-
test and we want our last effort to
be truly successful.
We think that in choosing James
McMullan, as the best all-around boy,
and Katherine Stephens, as the most
popular girl, we not only obtained
the most popular boy and girl in
school but in the town as well.
James is popular both among the
young and old. His every smile
forms a friendship that no one can
easily forget. In the past years he
has taken a leading part in all the
social affairs of the school and has
made a man that our school is proud
of on the athletic field.
Katherine is equally popular. Her
ready smile has won many friends
for her. She has taken a leading
part in all class activities as well as
those of the school since entering
high school.
We feel that these candidates are
the best that the high school can of-
fer and ask for your support in the
contest. Their fine qualities and
likeable disposition cannot be beat.
Come on Seniors, let’s put over
the best candidates in school.
REPORTER.
SOPHOMORES NAME
CHAMBERLAIN AND
RAMEY CANDIDATES
Candidates to run in the Popular-
ity Contest were chosen by the
Sophomore class Thursday after-
noon.
The meeting was called to order
and nominations for the Most Popu-
lar Girl was made first, the nominees
being Marjorie Sandoz, Martha Jo
Lasater, and Myra Mae Ramey. After
the candidates left the room, some
close friends made talks on why each
one should be elected. A vote was
taken in which Myra Mae was the
winner.
Miss Ramey made a short talk in
which she stated that she hoped the
Sophomores won, not for her sake
but for the sake of the class.
In the election of the candidates
for the Most Popular Boy, Eugene
Chamberlain was unanimously elect-
ed by the class. He also made a
speech in which he said that he would
do his best.
A few announcements were made
concerning the contest and the meet-
ing adjourned.
Myra Mae and Eugene are two
very good candidates and will be
hard to beat. They both have a
great number of ■‘‘riends all oyer
town and are known by almost every-
one. They always have a cheerful
word for everybody they meet and
never have a frown on their faces ex-
cept in the case of lessons which are
hard to understand.
Gene has attained most of his
height in popularity by his comical
ways of doing things and his humor
and wit. Myra Mae is popular be-
cause of her good looks, personality,
and cheerfulness. Therefore they
should be elected to this position of
popularity.
Let’s go, Sophs!
HIGH SCHOOL
FACULTY PLAY
THURSDAY NIGHT
‘YE VILLAGE SKEWL OF LONG
AGO”
G. C. A, ENDORSES
M’MULLAN AND
MISS STEPHENS
James McMullan and Katherine
Stephens were officially endorsed by
the Gum Chewers Association in its
daily meeting in Physics class Tues-
day afternoon. President Lloyd
Davidson presided at the meeting.
Speeches recommending the of-
ficial approval of the Senior candi-
dates were made by Florrie Coffey,
vice-president of the club and Jno.
S. Bagwell, secretary-treasurer. The
eloquence of the two speakers car-
ried the club members completely off jj
their feet and the candidates were
unanimously endorsed amid cheers
and songs.
SOPHOMORES, TAKE NOTICE
The Sophomore class has already
made plans to get that period off
this year (if it‘ is given) so the Fish,
Juniors and Seniors might just as
well let their air castles fall, and
quit working ’cause it won’t be any
good.
As most of the Sulphur Springs
High School students know (even if
they won’t admit it), that we have
the two best candidates in the
school, Myra Mae Ramey and Eugene
Chamberlain. Both candidates have
been with the class since the first
grade. Eugene tried to leave but
his conscience hurt him so badly that
he came back to us. Myra Mae has
stayed with us. The class is well
pleased with the candidates elected,
and they are going to stand by them.
Plans are being made for many en-
tertainments that will give pleasure
and make money.
Of course evei'yone wants to put
their money on the candidate that
will win, so you better put it on the
Sophomore, for we are sure to win.

MUCH INTEREST
BEING SHOWN
BY CLASSES
The annual poplarity contest,
sponsored by the Hi-Life, began Mon-
day morning and will last through
Fx’iday of this week.
Classes met Thursday and nomin-
ated candidates to run in the con-
test. Senior candidates are James
McMullan and Katherine Stephens;
Junior nominees, Henry Geoi’ge
Smith and Ruth Searls; Sophomore,
Eugene Chamberlain and Myra Mae
Ramey; Freshman, Thomas Black-
burne and Lola Beth Wood.
More interest is being manifested
in this contest than in any for sev-
eral years. Signs have been paint-
ed all over the sidewalks and floors
and several class “fights” have re-
sulted. All of the rivalry is in a
spirit of fun, however.
JUNIORS NOMINATE
SMITH AND SEARLS
FOR POPULARITY
The Junior class met Thursday,
March 26, for the purpose of elect-
ing candidates from the class for
the Popularity Contest.
A committee met in Miss Callan’s
room last weeks and nominated three
girls and three boys to be brought
before the class to be considered.
Others were nominated and after
several speeches made by different
students, Ruth Searls was elected
Most Popular Girl and Henry George
Smith as Most Popular Boy.
The class is now making plans for
making money for their candidate.
Come on, Juniors, support your
class. We have “gone over the top”
every year and we can this year if we
have the support of our class.
BLACKBURNE AND
WOOD CHOSEN
BY FRESHMEN
Brock: (in general science class)]
-When is water hard?
Bright Student—When it’s ice.
Frosh—Where 'are all the angry
farmers?
Soph—What angry farmers?
Frosh—Didn’t you tell me to come
over and see the cross country men?
On Thursday, March 28, the Fresh-
man class met to elect candidates for
the Popularity Contest. After a
hasty election, Thomas Blackburne
and Lola Beth Wood were nominated.
Thomas Blackburne is one of the
best golf players in the city, and his
association with the older people in
that line makes them know and like
him. The students of Sulphur
^prings High School know him as a
sourteous, clean, and friendly com-
panion.
Lola Beth Wood is known and liked
[by all, whether they are old or young,
rich or poor, good or bad. She has
a cheerful disposition, and lacks no
quality necessary to make one, pretty
and popular.
With these qualities, what can
prevent oui* candidates from win-
ning? It will be only we Freshmen.
Then, let’s go, Freshmen! We’ll
twin!
REPORTER.
The Junior candidates in the Pop-
ularity Contest are Ruth Searls and
Henry George Smith.
Ruth Searls, candidate for the
Prettiest or Most Popular Girl, just-
ly deserves this honor. The three
years she has been in Sulphur
Springs High School she has been a
loyal supporter of her class and
school. She is what her class calls
an “all round girl,” possessing
scholarship, sportsmanship, depend-
ability, loyalty, and a charming per-
sonality with a friendly smile for all.
Henry George Smith, candidate for
the Most Popular Boy, is in every
way an “all round boy.” He is good
looking and not only the most pop-
ular in the Junior class but in the
school. Henry George is the captain-
elect of our football team next year.
He has lettered three years and who
could be more popular or more
worthy of popularity than a letter-
man of the school’s football team?
He is one of the most loyal support-
ers of his class and school and has
shown it in football games and in all
school activities.
