Whispers
in the Dark
Aa two sophomore girtr were com-
ing to school Wednesday morning,
one remarked that she knew where a
certain by-road went. Everyone knew
that it waa e deed end one. What
about that Willma Reye end Alvalee ?
Marjorie Brumbelow was seen at
the show, “Husbands Are Good For
Something*’ with e boy in a red suit.
Perhaps it waa Johnny from the Phil-
lip Morris program, yet we think h
must have been another Johnny.
Pauline Armstrong's beauty* and at-
tractiveness seem to have invaded Do
Leon, because at the show Tuesday
evening she attracted a tall, brown-
eyed boy. Folly, we saw him with a
red handled knife. You’d better watch
out.
It seems that Nina Holland hangs
on the Mack Brown case even yet.
Perhaps her charms are more fetch-
ing than we realize. That’s fine, Ni-
na. we’re betting cn you.
Why is it that freshmen girls have
to go to grammar school for their
"fellers”? Barbara and Billie Hul-
sey, aren’t the high school boys your
type ?
Why is it that Wanda Thomas
seeks cover or dark corners when
Uncle T-uke is around ? Is she bash-
ful .’
Why is it that It. Q. Blankenship
has sworn off girls ? R. Q., have you
fjund cut about us while you are still
young ?
The sprained arrn of Dalton Strong
was thought by many to be a help in-
stead of an hindrance during six-
weeks exams. Perhaps it could have
been to a less studious pupil, but yet
Dalton’s gain was a cute secretary
who wrote his tests. Bv the way,
Dalton, is that powder on your coat
shoulder, or is it our imagination ?
When a senior girl who is now
married remarked last week that she
intended to destroy a nice-looking ex-
senior boy’s pictures, Sybil Dickey
quickly said, “Oh, let me have them.”
Sybil, stay right in there. Time will
tell!
Lo>3 Easley came back from Okla-
homa Tuesday one step closer to the
altar. Her sister, Lucille, was mar-
ried. Well, Lois, maybe next time
you go, you may stay as Lucille did.
Do you think there is a chance ?
Mr. and Mrs. Homer Thompson of
Comanche and Mr. and Mrs, R. E.
Thompson of Proctor visited Mr. and
Mrs. Harvey Decker Sunday.

The teacher* from division number
elevne met at Brownwood Friday an
Saturday for the purpoee of discuss-
ing “The Individualiition of Claes
Room Teaching.” — *~
Comyn teachers who attended ehis
meeting were as follows: Mr. M. C.
Kay, Mr. Ronald Miller, Miss Mollie
Grishapi, Mrs. Pearl Phipps, Miss
Ollie Sloan, Mrs. Jewel Haris, and
Miss Grace Brumbelow. *
Mr. Miller came back with new
ideas. He decided to let the pupils
teach a lesson while he npor.sors. His
explanation was that it gave the pu-
pils experience aa teachers, that the
pupils held more responsibility, and
last but not least, it was easy on the
teacher.__
As a result of the meet, the Co-
myn pupils received s holiday. Since
the weather was very cold, tjhey ap-
preciated the extra sleep on Friday
morning. They are bo appreciative,
in fact, that they would like to have
at least ten more teachers meets be-
fore school is out.
Agriculture Boys Visit Tarteton
Mr. Bell took four agriculture boys
to Stephenville to study for the A. &
M. judging contest. Norman Pierson
v.as left at the Agriculture building
to study wild life, while Cecil Camp-
bell and Mr. Bell went to Rocky
Point to judge four classes of dairy
cows. !•.........
After lunch the dairy team went to
the Tarleton Farm to discuss classes
that were in the contest.

team went to Hughes’ daily at Dub-
lin to judge some dairy cows.

Our short summer ended abruptly
Wednesday afternoon when a blizzard
hit about eleven o’clock.
The corn that waa up was damaged
considerably, but it was not killed.
The maize waa killed. The fruit waa
badly damaged. Urn freeze got
about eighty or ninety percent of the
peach crop. Most of the cattle and
livestock stood the cold weather all
right, but they had begun to shed
their winter coats. Some of the
sheep men cf this community were
glad they had not started shearing
before the blizazrd hit. Some argue
that the freeze killed the Johnson
-grass, but it would take more than
that to kill old man Johnson grass.
The freeze killed many insects.
