TIGERS TROUNCE BELLS
The Tigers handed Bells their third
defeat Tuesday afternoon by a score

showed the advantage of early train-
ing by the score.

Whitewright with 19 points, while H.
Washburn led for Bells with 6. Both
teams were credited with two fouls.

JOB’S TURKEY
The turkeys trot and they will be
trotting from now until Christmas.
The poor turkey has been running
from the dreaded axe ever since
Thanksgiving and Christmas orig-
inated. However, we do not know
when-the turkey was first known in
America.
We have often heard the phrase,
“poor as Job’s turkey.” This phrase
was taken from an older one, “patient
as Job,” and was originated by Thom-
as Hamilton, a humorist of early
America. He described one turkey as
being so weak that it was necessary
foi’ it to lean against a fence to gob-
ble. This turkey’s conditon was
caused by its efforts to hatch chicks
from eggs that had no chicks in them.
The word “turkey” has been asso-
ciated with Job in phrases for many
years.—R. J.
AUTUMN ’POSSUM HUNT
Friday night ten or twelve boys
assembled at the Scout hut for the
long waited for ’possum hunt. There
was a strong odor of weiners and
pickles and each boy had his own
“grub.” Everyone was ready to go
and it was a merry group that
tramped down the railroad toward
Caylor’s barn. The walking soon be-
came old and we wondered when we
would get there. Someone discovered
a light through the woods and asked
if it were Tom Bean.
Finally we arrived and found sev-
eral country boys waiting for us with
the hounds chained and ready. After
another half mile walk we arrived at
the woods. “Shotgun” remarked that
he was hungry; his “stomach thought
he had lock-jaw,” so we ate. A large
fire was built and all gathered round
it. When we all were satisfied we
were off on the hunt.
For hours and hours, it seemed, we
tramped through woods, grass and
briars until we were a mass of
scratched and torn boys. It was a
group of disappointed, tired, and dis-
couraged Scouts that started on the
weary march home. We took to the
road for easiei* walking.
At last we came to the climax of
the occasion. It was a long, steep hill
at least half mile long. After a long

THANKSGIVING ASSEMBLY
Thanksgiving assembly was held
last Wednesday morning at nine
o’clock. As we entered the audito-
rium we beheld the stage beautifully
decorated in Autumn leaves and
mistletoe. There was a small table on
the stage which contained lighted
candles and Thanksgiving dinner.
We were favored with a very inter-
esting program. It was as follows:
Song, all; Origin of Thanksgiving,
Merle Robbins; Modern Vision of the
“Courtship of Miles Standish,” J. B.
Cates; Observance of Thanksgiving
Day, Robert Doss; songs, Jack Lay,
J. Y. Russell, Leon Adams, Lula Lee

The program was closed by
singing of “America.”—I. C.
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Dear Editor:
You should have been with me the
other day when I went to Denison to
see my brother. I guess you know he
is in a dairy. The funniest thing,
though, was the time we went to
milk. I didn’t know how to milk very
well, but got along just fine with the
first bunch. But when we began to
milk the second bunch they set me
down to an old cow that I couldn’t
milk, so they told me to milk a big,
black one. I was a little suspicious

INTRA-MURAL ACTIVITIES
IN W. H. S.
Foremost among the intra-mural
activities of W. H. S. is the Masquer-
aders’ Dramatic Club. This club has
been active in our school for five
years, furnishing the students pleas-
ure, as spectators, and knowledge, in
amateur acting. This is our only
dramatic club, but there is no need
for another, as the percentage of
students who are members is about
five, and this includes almost every
student interested in dramatic work.
Next in line is the W. H. S. Ath-
letic Association (for boys). This
club is open to any boy interested in
any form of athletics offered in this
school. This is the association’s first
year, but it is doing much to improve
school spirit.
The only organization for girls is
the Hiking Club. This is the club’s
second year of usefulness to the
school. »
We have a Literary Organization
which, is practically “dead on its
feet,” as there has been only one
meeting. However, it is early in the
year for work in preparation for the
literary meet in the spring, and this
organization may prove useful yet.
Our clubs are not very numerous,
as under our present system, the
Tennis Club and Basket Ball Club of
last year are included in the Athletic
Association, but this present plan is
by far the best.
Our school “atmosphere,” or
■“school spirit” is created by the work
carried on by these school clubs in
contests with other schools. They
also mold opinions of the students in
regard to sportsmanship and other
matters by the manner in which they
are conducted.—Editor.

THEATRICAL NOTES
• The Masqueraders’ Club met in
regular business session Tuesday. The
usual business announcements and
reports were given. Plans were made
for a Christmas party, to be held at
the home of Thomas Sears on Dec.
22. “Eats” and “entertainment”
committees were appointed by the
president. Names were drawn for
the Christmas tree.
A versatile program -was presented
by members of the club. A very in-
teresting and highly entertaining col-
lection of jokes was given by the
club’s most promising comedian,
Franklin Dixon. Monabelle Bigger-
staff gave a series of short reviews
of current dramatic hits in New
York. A duet was sung by two musi-
cal members, Leon Adams and Mary
Frances Myrick. Dorothy LeRoe fa-
ored us with a reading. After singing
several songs, the club adjourned to
meet again in business session
December 19.—M. B.
Through our suppliers we
have gathered a large and
varied collection of useful
and appreciated gift items,
which are now on display
at our store. . . . By mak-
making our purchases
early we were able to buy
at very advantageous
prices. . . . The market is
advancing
when we
will have
prices.

eral fouls were made by both teams.I stantly changed to a racing ball of

made in record time and the ’possum
was caught.
This time the hill was not half so
hard to climb nor half so steep. We
had walked only a few steps when a
car stopped and gave us a ride. It
was a happy but tired group that
reached town at 2:00 a. m.—D. W.

SOPHOMORE FUN
Sometimes on the days after we
take our history II test we have some
time left, so we play games.
A game we played one Friday was
the “Proacher’s Cat.” We found a
proacher’s cat could have as many
silly names as anybody else’s cat. I
can’t imagine Rev. Dennis going out
on his back porch and calling, “Kit-
ty Dad-Gum, kitty Dad-Gun.” or Rev.
Ivins calling, “Kitty Battle.”
Another game was “My ship came
loaded with.” Jim Pat said his ship
was loaded with “mud.” In his haste
he couldn’t think of something nicer
such as money, mutton or magazines.
Another said, “Hired men,” another,
“watermelons.”
Another game was “Gossip.” The
girls were better at this than the
boys.
Last Wednesday Mr. Manning
asked us what we were thankful for.
Willie B. said she was thankful that
one of their turkeys got killed so
they could have turkey for Thanks-
giving. G. V. said he was thankful
they raised turkeys and that he could
eat. Mr. Manning said he was thank-
ful he had two extra days off to de-
cide who he was going to give F’s j about that old cow-—but they told me
she was as tame as a dog. Well, I
set down the bucket and I discovered
that she wasn’t tame. She landed me
on the other side of the barn with a
sore side and almost a broken arm.
The milk bucket was under her feet,
and she was playing a right nice tune
on it, kicking it from one foot to the
other. I finally got a stick and fished
it from between her legs. They set
me down to an old crippled cow. I
just knew she wouldn’t kick, for it
was all she could do to stand up. But
I had forgotten she had a head. I
didn’t think anything about her head
because it was in a stanchion, but
somehow she got it out and butted
me over next to the old black cow. I
came near killing myself getting
away from those cows. When the
milking was over I was so sore I
could hardly stand up, but I was fool
enough to get on a wild horse that
put me over- in the old hog pen with
the sow and her pigs. She didn’t like
it much and started to run for me,
but I beat her to the fence. After
going down to the lake nearby and
taking a boat ride and having several
more experiences, J. C., R. T. and I
hauled into the back of the truck on
some quilts, nearly dead, but we
weren’t still very long because we
began to wrestle. We did this until
we got home. Then we went to bed.
but that was not all for I dreamed
that that old, black cow was kicking
me and the next morning when I
woke up f had kicked out a window
light. I then went to school feeling a
little stiff after such a good time.
Yours truly,
PRESTON HANNAH.
Dear Editor:
You should have been down
Thanksgiving. Boy, what a time we
had! We got up Thursday morning
and began, to prepare to go to K. Y.
to a dinner. We got there about an
hour before dinner, so that we should
have time to rest before we ate.
Such a dinner! I have never seen
one like it. Well, after dinnei- we
played ball until we could hardly
walk, then watched the girls play. Of
course they did not have as good a
game as the boys did, because you
know what girls are.
Well, when we got home our dogs
were ready for a good ’possum hunt.
We started hunting about 8:30
o’clock and stayed out until about
one the next morning. We had pretty
good luck for we caught 13 ’possums
and four polecats. We could have

give it to me.”—A. H. Jr.
