EDITORIAL
George Washington! The father ol
■ur count)y! And February the twt>i-
ly-socond is the birthday of this fa-
mous statesman of American history.
It was Mr. Washington who I'i'-t
ibtamed the office i>f commander-in-
chief of the Revolutionary army. It
was ho who organized the scattered
forces of the thirteen colonies. It
was he w ho kept up the courage .if
the American forces and led them to
the winning of the war.
George Washington did not end hi-
caieer for hi- nation at the end ot
the Revolution He kept working for
the new nation which he ha(| helped
to bring about. No, Mr. Washington
did not swell his cheat out in pride
and retire to dream and think of his
deeds. He kept working for the new-
ly created nation in the New World.
Mr. Washington now • tatted hi*
work in the organizing of a new gov-
ernment. George was a member of
the Constitutional Convention and la-
bored endlessly foi the pood of the
unorganized colonies. The office ol
president was won by a deserving can-
didate, George Washington. For eight
years, the United States was directed
by Washington. During thi^ time the
respect of the nations of Europe w« i
won and the new nation was given a
big start in the gaining of supremacy
among the countries of the world.
It would be impossible to enum-
erate the many deeds George Wash-
ington performed for his people and
his nation. So you see, our celebrat-
ing of February 22 i> for a good
purpose. So let us remember Wash-
ington, the Father of our Country!
SENIORS
(A Quiet Bunch)
1 did not know we had so mun>
"Clark Gables" and "Myrna l,oy."
in the senior class of 1U4U. As timio
and bashful sis Eugene Wilkins is, he
really makes love on the stage. Ami
do you know that William Compton
plays the part of a "quiet" sort of
young man and advertises for a wife.
You will see them, or you will have
seen them by the time this is read.
1 guess you know "Gone With tlu
Wind" is in Austin and practically
all of these seniors have seen it.
Dorothy Mae Schaefer said she saw-
it yesterday but Ed Martin won't my
when he saw it. Maybe they didn't
even see it.
Woolsey Baron was invited to a
party last week ami the person invit-
ing forgot to tell him where it w i-
going to be. He rode all over town
but could not find Metta Grace Ne' |
son anywhere.
Too bad that it rained Sattirdn
Mary Sue Murchison, Loyce Ksk. > -.
and Iris Roe Kimbrough (a Junior)
were going to Smithville to play in a
tennis tournament for girl's seniot
tennis. William f ompton was gonj.'
to entei as senior boy singles.
Maurine Woebl has a new litth
brother. Congratulations, Maurine.
We get a holiday Thursday. So
don't any of you seniors forget and
come to school.
Poor Confuciu.-. If he said every-
thing that 1 have heard h. said, he
must have been i
fellow.
Till next
I' S.: Virginia Ray Hubbard is
the Hi-Life Society Editor, but she
did not put in her column who was
visiting hei this week-end. Guess
who ?
SOPHOMORE REPORT
very talkative old sweaters and we see strutting around
in them Charlie Bob Morris, Joe
week. Young, Harvey Smith, and J. W.
(juicksall. The sweaters are maroon
coat sweaters with a maroon "B" on
the left hand side outlined in gre;.
"District Champs" is written in grey
on the "B". These four boys are
proud of their sweaters and so are
we.
Now for a bit of scandal:
Rachel, the whole school i> won-
dering who "Hubby" is? Will you
please give us a hint ?
Rudolph, Charlie Bob, and Joe.
please show us "Lucille?" We girl-
are getting jealous.
Mary .Jo, who is that Virginia foot-
ball playei you hail in town Sun-
day? Aren't there enough in Texas?
So here end thi> report with an
other Mgh of relief.
With a sigh of relief, we Soph •-
mores pass into a new week of school.
The >igh of relief is given because
we had to write a theme last wee*
pretaining to fire. The themes have,
at last, been finished.
Friday saw many empty seats in
our section. Why? Well it rained.
Oh, yes. The Sophomore Class was
to have been represented by four peo-
ple at the tennis tournament i'l
Smithville. but again the excuse was
rain. Anyway the four were Ma.y
Ann and Miriam in the Junior Girl'
sec ion and Charlie Bob and Rudolph
in the Junior Boys section.
