Ran infer Sarah Benton downtown this morning and talked to

That is a stun* sign that Sarah is not in the least getting nervous

a telephone polo somewhere because I would have gotten just as much
response After thinking it over however, decided that the gal reallv
has a right to be "up in the clouds."

Mrs. Mac Smith. She was the
back bone of all the organization,

went off so smoothly, that it gives
evidence enough of her efficient

ing up
was no easy job. The announcers,
Marvin Newberry for the first
half and Arthur Simpson for the
second both did a s.vetl job. They
were both from the Junior Class,
as you might have guessed by th<:
way they cheered at the more ex-
citing points in the game.
Some of the statistics of the
game ran like this-
Scorers:
Seniors: first quarter—Betty
Ferguson—pooirits. Third quar
ter—Walt* r Faye Kite—7 points.
Juniors: second quarter—Mary
Riggins — <i points. Fourth quar-
ter—Ruby Ferguson—7 pointts.
Penalties:
Seniors: M for 15 yards.
Juniors- 4 for yards.
The two girls vho starred all
the way through the gan.e on both
sides were Ituby Ferguson, junior,
and Betty Ferguson, senior. These
girls are sister,;, but this business
of "sisterly love" was completely
forgotten during the game. We
wonder what would have happened
to the other team had they both
been on the same side'
Both, teams hmUloyal supporters
behind them. There weren't as
many in tile cheering sections :u<
they would have liked, hut you
couldn't say anything against the
enthusiastic cheerleaders. T h e
junior cheerleaders were Chuck
Herring, George Webber, and Jay
Magness. The seniors were Rex
Martin, Doddie Dodds anil Jack

padded blouses, etc. Th">' were
the first thing in daintiness.
Both sides had bands too! The
senior's was led by Drufti Major
Dale Witcher and their* (wirier;
were Arkansas and Rip A'Ion. At
the half they presented their
sweetheart, (Miss) Eddie Green, j
The junior band was led at the i
half -by Drum Major Marvin New- i
berry, and during tht ga.ne the
musie was led by Prof. Bill Bow- ,
les, who worked mighty hard get-
ting the music and band together.
Junior twirlers were Phil Pitzer,
Arthur Simpsoon, Jamie Bilharty,:
and Kddie McMi'lian. The junior]
band formed an "S" for the sen-!
iors and a "J" for the juniors at
the half and also did a marching
stunt. The talented twirlers had
a routine worked out, and twirli.-d
and pranced beautifully. Both
bands were really riotts.

room teachers from each class.
gave a program in High School,
under Miss White's direction. It
was an i.ll-miisical and all-girl
program ami for "little feller" of
that sine and age, it was very
good. The announcer, Peggy Par-
sons, introduced the participants
on the program, which ran about
like this:
"Serenade of the Bells" Blouise
Huffman: "Sioux Citv Sue",
Klouise Huffman and Nancy
Fur.derburg; "Irish liyes Aiv
Smiling", Chorus. A folk dane>
by 4 girls (except two of thi-m
dressed like boys). "F.astei Pa-
rade", Nancy Funderburg; "Near
You" and "Beg Your Pardon"—
oiano solos by Pat Bonney; "Now
Is the Hour," Nancy Danken;
"Ten Pretty Girls"—sung by
Klouise and Nancy, with a dope-.*
in the background, done by the
ten pretty girls.
It was a cute program and we
liked it lots.
Thursday we had another of
our Lyceum nunfters. Karl Bo-
lander, ii lecturer on and special-
ist of hobbies. He explained t >
the students of both Junior High
and Senior High the advantage in
every day life of having r. hobby.
He talked on different types of
hobbies that rne might

HOUSTON. Tex. <UJ!> — Plastics

Dun P.. Bloxson, president of the
Southwestern Plastics Co., said
his company has manufactured

things had been collected from all
parts of the world and were in-

instructive.
Everyone's all excited about the
Easter Holidays—especially thes
two school days we get off. At
first, we thought we might not
have them because of the time off
during bad weather, but it was
decided thnt those two days would
be added at the end of school.

Australian motorist is. not likely
to be able to buy all the gasoline
tie wants until IU51 at the earliest,
it is predicted by Eric Avery, gen-
eral manager of the Shell Comp-
nny of Austrulia.
Avery, returned from tour of
the United States, Britain and the
Netherlands, said he believed the
war-caused oil shortage might lust
as long as before world pro-
duction can catch up with demand.
He said another factor retard-
ing the Australiaa oil situation
was the fact that political unrest
hud hampered rehabilitation of
the Netherlands Indies oil indus-
try.
