Spring with its fragrance and
dewy sweetness. has come to re-
mind us of the wonders of nature.
How lovely to behold the brilliant
hues of the flowers. In parts of
Texas artists wil be striving to re-
produce on canvas the resplendent
beauty of the seas of blue-bonnets.
How proud we are of Texas for
its scenic beauty, its pure air, its
powerful heritage and its brave
men! We should ever keep before
us a goal to strive for, so Texas
can be proud of us. There is a
little song we have all heard
which goes like this:
“I am proud of my town,
Is my town proud of me?
What we need are citizens
Trained in Loyalty.”
And on and on the song goes
giving us hints. We are being
trained now to become future law-
makers, citizens, bankers, and pol-
iticians. Let us ever keep before
us loyalty and civic pride—and as
Spring time awakens the grass
and flowers, and the showers bathe
the earth in purity; let us have
a spring cleaning and destroy all
evil impulses, selfish motives, and
thoughtlessness and refurnish our
lives with loyalty and unselfish-
ness.

By Morris “Napoleon” Belt
Howdy folks, this is “Napoleon”
writin’ to you from his hermit’s
lodgs.
Here’s a joke, and you’re sup-
posed to laugh.
If you don’t as, I guess you
won’t, I’ll know you’ve sold your
pet calf.
Mr. Gore, “Does your wife cook
a good meal?”
Mr. Miller, “She cooks a meal
that warms my heart.”
Mr. Gore, “She does.”
Mr. Miller, “Yes, it gives me
the heartburn.”
Here’s a poem if you don’t rec-
ognize it.
The life of a hermit is really
swell,
With no work and no one to
yell.
Not a worry, nothing to do;
He eats and sleeps the whole were mistaken last week. Now
day thru.
There is no one that he owes,
And he doesn’t wear stuffy
clothes.
Everytime he gets a whim;
He just goes for a swim.
cent moon, Billy Moffett; Happy as
a June bug, Burnell Bruner; Gen-
tle as a falling deer, Maxine Isles;
Bold as brass, Edward Miller;
Dashing like a cavalry officer,
Jack Evans; Valorous as Hector of
Troy, Irvin Thompson; Modest as
a squash, Dorothy Jean McMahon;
Bashful as a clock which always
has its hands before its face,
Christine Baber; Curious as a-
Magpie, Jo Fowler; Like as coal
and chalk, Elizabeth Woods and
Frances Lee Pope; Brilliant as In-
dian Summer, George Markham;
Busy as a dog with fleas, X. M.
Gore; As slow as Molasses in Jan-
uary, Roland Boyd; Fresh as a
flower in spring, Norman Rich-
ardson; As studious as a student
from S. H. S., Omarine Burns; As
musical as an alarm clock at 4:00
o’clock in the morning, Corinne
Brownlee; As lanky as an old Cow-
hand, J. C. Nash; As quiet as a
mouse in a trap eating cheese,
Kathryn Jones; As smart as a lie
detector or an adding machine,
Louise Ehrensberger; Certain as
your shadow follows you, Dixie
Leech; As absurd as mathematics
without numbers, Susie Silsbee.
We can never again say that
Charles didn’t prepare his lessons
at least once. He broke his per-
fect record Monday by knowing his
English; - :......
