WHO’S WHO IN
THE FACULTY
W. L. WILLIS
Mr. Willis has become almost a
permanent fixture out here. ,
His favorite indoor sport is run-
ning people out of the halls.
Out-of-doors, he likes to play golf
with Joe Scott.
Mr. Willis says that the hardest
part of his job is making speeches
at banquets.
Whenever anybody needs another
volley ball player, another horse shoe
pitcher, or somebody else to. make up
a foresome they call on Mr. Willis.
At times, though, Mr. Willis must
retain his dignity, for he is a new-
ly-elected deacon in the First Bap-
tist church and deacons must be
dignified at any cost.
L. L. THOMAS
More Civics coming up!
Mr. Thomas is noted for his liking
for proverbs. In fact, he likes them
so much, he tries to teach them to
everyone who happens to be late.
We sometimes wonder whether Mr.
Thomas missed his calling; he can
pitch horseshoes well enough to be
a first-class blacksmith.
It would be a mistake to forget to
mention Mr. Thomas’ ability in a
vocal way. Incidentally, his favor-
ite song is “Work For the Night Is
Coming.”
Just the same, if we all knew as
much Civics as we are supposed to,
there would be about ninety-five
candidates for the Presidency in the
next election.
MISS MAMIE BLYTHE
We’re afraid to say anything about
Miss Mamie—our English grades
aren’t any too good, anyway.
One thing that nobody can dispute
is the fact that Miss Mamie has been
out here a long time.
Her favorite indoor sport is send-
ing Milier DeFord out of class for
making her laugh.
We don’t know what Miss Mamie’s
outdoor sport it—we never have had
any chance to see.
Everybody in high school knows
that Miss Mamie hates Junior-Senior
parties. And she always wears dark
colors—such as bright red.
MISS ESTELLE GEE
Here’s where we get even for our
Latin grade.
Miss Gee’s favorite indoor, out-
door and between-door sport is eat-
ing. Believe it or not.
Next to that comes her love for
giving Junior plays and Junior-Senior
parties.
We have never seen anyone yet
who has had any trouble in hearing
Miss Gee talk—even down at the
other end of the hall.
Just because she is little, all of
the rest of the faculty pick on her
and gives her the hardest jobs.
Oh, yeah—we almost forgot to tell
about how much she likes chewing
gum.

Dear “Hi-Lifers”:
Several days ago I received the
last copy of the best paper from the
best high school in the world. I ap-
preciate very much your sending me
the “Hi-Life”, because I’m always
interested in our S. S. H. S.
I am sure the classes are going to
[support the popularity contest as
usual, and I hope it will go over big.
Are you going to have an annual
this year?
Many times this winter I have
thought of the members of the “Hi-
Life” staff “toiling away” (?) in
the office hunting for material to
fill the columns of the paper,
have been quite sure that you have
needed some oYthe physical strength
I have gained by swimming, danc-
ing, playing tennis, hiking, skating,
and—eating; but I’m afraid you
couldn’t fill much space with any
knowledge of chemistry and physiol-
ogy although I have spent many,
many hours of study on them.
I am looking forward to visiting
S. S. H. S. and the “Hi-Life” office
again before this term is over.
As ever,
ELLEN PATE.
RED’S ’PORT CARD
PROF' SAM KING
SPEAKS IN
GHAPEL SERVICE
Oh, gee, this shore is a bum day,
I reckon you wonder why I’se feelin’
this way!
Well, ticher giv’ed me my ’port
card,
’N believe me school is turble hard!
As I wuz goin’ home at noon,
An I know’d ma ’ud kill me dead,
Whatsa use ta live with nothin’ in
your head!
When I gits home I goes in the kitch-
en,
Where ma wuz sittin’ a stitchin;
I siz, “Ma they is awful patriotic at
our school,”
“How nice,” she sez kinda cool.
“Yes ’em,” I sez, “They even decor-
ate our cards in red, white n’
blue.”
“Now, Reddie, are you sure that’s
true?”
She sez, “Young man, have you fail-
ed again?”
“No’m, they fixes our cards like
’at,” I begain,
“Red,” ma sez, “lemme see that
card?
“If you’re fibbin’ your pa’ll lick you
hard.”
“Red,” ma sez, “Here’s two red
marks.”
“No’m,” I sez, “Them’s patriotic
marks.”
“George Washington never told a
fib,” sez ma,
“Take your card n’ show it to pa.”
I dont it and he licked me
Twict! Fer failing ’an’ fibbing, you
see.
An now I can’t play out at nite
Cause I haff to seudie n’ read n’
write!
—Mary McKee Blair.
Honest or crooked? It’s you who
must say
You must decide in the face of the
test,
Whether you will shirk it or give it
your best.
Nobody here will compel you to rise,
No one will force you to open your
eyes,
No one will answer for you, yes or
no,
Whether to stay there or whether to
go.
Life is a game, but its you who must
say,
Whether as cheat or as sportsman
you’ll play.
Fate may betray you, but you settle
first
Whether to live to your best or your
worst.
So whatever it is you are wanting to
be
Remember, to fashion the chain, you
are free
Kindly or selfish, or gentle or strong.
Keeping the right way or taking the
wrong,
Careless of honor or guarding your
pride,
All these are questions which you
must decide
Yours the selection, whichever you
do,
The thing men call character’s all up
to you. —Edgar A. Guest.
ly our greater prosperity. But its
real significance, of course, lies in
the fact that education now is far
more general than it ever was be-
fore. And since a democracy like
ours must have an educated, intelli-
gent citizenry, this is highly impor-
tant.—The Battery.
A baseball club was recently sued
by a Scotchman who received a
bruise during the game. He fell out
of a tree.
Professor Sam J. King and Miss
Virginia Sheppard were guests of
the student body at chapel services
Wednesday morning.
The hour opened with invocation
offered by Professor King, after
•which Ruth Searls and Margaret Bry-
son played a piano and violin duet.
Miss Virginia Sheppard then play-
ed several popular selections at the
piano.
The subject of Professor King’s
address was “Little Things”. In his
own inimitable manner he gave sev-
eral instances of the importance of
little things, and how mere incidents
have changed the lives of men and
the history of the world.
Mr. Willis welcomed Professor
King and invited him back to the
ischool at any time.
The third period was omitted.
.YOU
You are the fellow that has to decide
Whether you’ll do it or toss it aside,
You are the fellow that makes up
your mind
Whether you will lead or linger
behind—
Whether you’ll try for the goal that’s
afar,
Or be content to stay where you are.
Take it or leave it. Here’s something
to do
Just think it over. It’s all up to you!
What do you wish? To he known as
a shirk
Known as a good man who’s willing
to work
Scorned as a loafer or praised by
your Chief,
Rich man or poor man or beggar or
thief?
Eager or earnest or dull through the
1 day.
IGNORANCE IS DIMINISHING
The Department of the Interior
has issued a bulletin concerning the
amazing growth of secondary educa-
tion in recent years.
At the present time more than
one-half of the population of high
school age is in actual attendance at
high school. In the cities this rate
is even higher.
But the noteworthy fact lies in
the statement that 30 years ago not
more than one-seventh of the young
people of high school age went to
high school. High school enroll-
ments have doubled since so late a
date as 1920.
First of all, this reflects very plain-
