The Badger “Gangsters” made
their initial appearance against the
Burnet Bulldogs at Burnet Wednes-
day afternoon. The Badgers could
not garner a hit off Landtroop’s fast
ball pitching. The Gashouse Gang
were wild, throwing the ball away
several times as men were scoring.
The Badgers also contributed ten
errors to Bumets cause. The final
score was 9-0. Six of Burnet’s nine
runs were unearned. The Bulldogs
stole several bases off the Badger
hurling corps, stealing everything
from the Badgers but their uni-
foVnis. Only" three Gangsters reached
first base and they were the
of two balls and a hit man.
At times the “Gashouse
looked good, at other times
played very sloppy, grammar
ball. The Badgers showed they need-
ed fielding practices as well as hit-
ting practice.
Badgers making the trip to Bur-
net were: “Wild Hoss” Lee, catcher;

A Junior’s Diary
Wednesday—
Arose at 6 a. m. to study for
metry test. After vain search for
books, retired again at 6:10. Arose at
8:15. Found lost books under the bed
where I had placed them within easy
reach. Extremely disgusted, ate no
breakfast. Arrived at school at 8:35.
Decided to skip geometry class. Spent
period aimlessly wandering up and
down halls. Started to physical ed;
but developed all symptoms of par-
tial paralysis on the way. Was ex-
cused from P. E. so played tennis for
an hour. Ate hearty lunch. Returned
to school just in time to be late, so
decided to skip that period. Sat out
on steps and read ‘“Detective Stories
Magazine". Received a severe scold-
ing from Mr. Rowntree for skipping.
Took geometry and history books
home but decided to go to show in-
stead of studying. Retired early (in
the morning). Day considered un-
eventful.

SPANISH I AND II CLASSES
GO TO ROCKY FOR PICNIC
Both the Spanish I and II classes,
under the supervision of Mr. W. R.
Park, went to Rocky for a picnic this
week.
Spanish I class went on Monday,
and Spanish II went on the following
day. Both classes invited guests.
Most of the picknickers went for
a swim before eating supper.
The annual banquet given by
P. T. A., honoring seniors will
given this year at the Country Club
on May 14.
This banquet which follows the
Junior-Senior Banquet is also formal.
All graduates will be present as it
is one of the most important enter-
tainments given for them.
Reverend R. H. Mathison, Baptist
minister, spoke in assembly Tuesday
morning. His subject was sin and its
three headings: the cause, the curse
and the cure. He stated that the
teacher instructs the student the
Tight and wrong in English, in math-
ematics, in history and in all other
courses. The lawyer instructs his
clients the decision of law, the right
and wrong. The doctor instructs his
patient the right and the wrong phy-
ically. The preacher instructs his
.congregation the right and the wrong
morally and spiritually.
In sin, the cause was the first sin
of Adam and Eve. Today, the cause
for our sin is the suggestion and
acceptance, and all of us have accept-
ed a suggestion to sin; in other
words, everyone has sinned. The cure
—because it is so deadly there is only
one cure—that is Jesus Christ. Some
of the quotations he took from the
Bible for the illustration of the re-
ward of sin are: “The soul that sin-
neth, it shall die”, “Except that ye
shall repent, ye shall all likewise
perish,” and “The wages of sin is
death.” These quotations prove that
the reward of sin is death, perhaps
not physically but spiritually, mor-
ally and mentally.
PHYSICS CLASS WENT

Friday, May 7, the physics class,
under the supervision of Mr. L. R.
Carothers, went to Austin to the

GIVEN AT COUNTRY CLUB
The junior class entertained the
seniors with the annual Junior-Sen-
ior banquet Friday night, May 7 at
the Country Club.

Club was attractively decorated with
bouquets of spring flowers. In one
corner of the room behind a trail i?
of vines and roses was a wishing well
and two tall baskets of larkspurs
stood before the mantel. Ribbons
across the baskets bore in gold let-
ters the junior and senior mottoes.
The grand march to the dining room
was led by the president of the junior
class, Martha Regina Hunter, and By-
ron Higgins. Following the invoca-
tion by Anna Lou Moore, the seniors
were welcomed to the annual ban-
quet bj the junior president. A 3-
course dinner was served. Place
cards and favors containing paper
caps, fortunes and prizes marked the
places for 78 guests.

rice Feild, president of the senior
class, responded to the senior toast.
