prizes of *50, and ten honorable men-
tions of *10 each. In addition, win-
ners of first place in both divisions
of the contest will be given a com-
plete, all-expense trip to New York
City.

tives of consumers, educators- and
business men will Judge the contest,

dents in any high school or college

FUNERAL OF MRS. PAGE
Tne Badgers of L. H. S. went
Evant Monday night and when the
final whistle blew the Badgers had
won their first county championship
since 1931. Led by Captain Byron
Higgins the Badgers defeated the
Lometa Hornets 22-17. B. Higgins
was high point man with 10 points.
He was followed by Viron Higgins
who scored 8 points. The Badgers
played better ball Monday night but
they were still off form and will have
to get in as much practive as pos-
sible if they expect to shbw up well
in the district meet at Georgetown
Friday and Saturday.
The Badgers will leave Friday
morning for Georgetown to partici-
pate in the district tournament. They
will meet the Belton Tigers at 4:00
o’clock Friday afternoon^ The Tigers
have shown unusual power in their
district. It is understood that Jamie
Wilson, star forward for Belton, is 111
and may not play in the tournament.
The football players and members
of the basketball team had their pic-
tures taken Wednesday morning at
Johnston’s Studio. Individual pic-
tures and group pictures were made
of the football and basketball teams.

panied the boys to the studio in the

Several boys are working out for
track in the afternoons: Roy Pryor,
Edwin Witten, Eugene Gaddy, Wil-

will be several others to Join the team
as soon as basketball season is over.
Well, that’s all until next week.
Rev. Lawrence Williams was the
speaker at assembly Tuesday. His
subject was: How much do. you value
yourself? Chemically, we are worth
about *1.98, but spiritually we have
aJmuch greater value-than that. He
compared a human being to a three-
story house; first story, the flesh; sec-
ond, the senses; and third, spiritual
perception.
Coach Moore ihtroduced the cham-
pion basketball quifitet of the county,
our own LHS team. Byron Higgins
is the 1938 basketball captain. The
team will go to Georgetown Friday
night to play for the district cham-
pionship.

n It’s the Nation’s choice.
Italy, » France, Germany, Russia,
and all of Spain’s neighbors have
been mighty nice and thoughtful to-
ward Spain during her internal trou-
bles up to now. Almoza everyone of
them has sent either men. ammuni-
tions, battleships, or something try-
ing to help the Spaniards along in
their revolution. Bat they signed a
“hands off Spain agreement” the oth-
er day, so I guess the Spaniards will
have to kill each other as best they
ean with no outside assistance.
On the other hand I believe those
nations were looking at Spain a lit-
tle longingly for a little souvenir of
land maybe. The fable of the fdx
and the grapes is kinds like the Span-
ish situation, only different. The fox
just thought maybe the grapes were
sour because he couldn’t get them.
But the European nations probably
could get a little slice of Spain, but
they realize now that it would bo
worse to them than the sour grapes
would bo to the fox.
Oh baby, what I couldn’t do
W’ith plenty of money and you;
Inspite of the worry that money
brings
Just a little filthy lucre buys a lot
of things,.
I would take you to places you’d
like to go
But outside of that, I’ve no use for
dough
It’s the root of all evil, of strife
and upheaval,--------
But I’m certain, honey, that life would
be sunny _
With plenty of money and you.

The public speaking class is study-
ing the pronunciation of words as
they are marked in the dictionary.
They have learned that there are
only four main diacritical marks to
know. They are the macron, a long
found A in ate; breve, a short sound
as a in cat; diereeis, a modified sound
as a in all; and a wave or tide as I
in bird.
The students found that all other
diacritical marks are modifications of
these four.
CORRECTION
In giving the term honor roll, it
was stated that Kenneth Brown made
4 B’s and 1 A. We wish to orrect
that statement as he made 5 A’s.
