Assembly Program Enjoyed.
A most enjoyable assembly
program was given Wednesday
morning at the high school.
The Rev. George Cherryhomes
announced the numbers. Miss
Edna Mae Kingston played the
^accompaniments. Program num-
j^e were: vocal solo, Practice
perfect, by James Jor-
piano solo, Edilweiss
b, by Alyce Jo Lindley; vo-
Bxtet, Make Believe, by Jo
^Hughes, Ruth Isbell. Max-
leeler, Jean Rule, Gaye
f", and Anna Shirey, and
solo, One More Mile, by
Rev. Cherryhomes.
We are indebted to nowo
yhomes and Miss Kingston for
[the preparation of the excel-
lent program. All the num-
bers were well rendered and
encores were demanded by the
audience.
Interesting to note is the
fact that James Jordan is Jack's
younger brother, and Alyce Jo
Lindley is Tommy's younger
sister.
Preceding the program, the
principal and the superintend-
ent made several announce-
ments relative to the coming
mid-term examinations and the
new schedule for next semes-
ter. Following the program,
Mr. Prim announced the bas-
ketball game to be played be-
tween Mineola and Hainesville
after school Wednesday at the
gymnasium.

We Regret.
We regret the illness of many
students absent this week from
MHS. Among these is our
editor-in-chief, E. L. Hendrix.
We wish for all of them a fast
recovery.
We also regret the absence
of our history and government
teacher, Mrs. L. B. Willis, be-
cause of illness. May she soon
be with us again.

our school.
Helps Capture Robber.
Pilots to Safety
Herman Jackson of Hawkins,
a senior student at MHS, was
instrumental in the capture of
| a thief Tuesday. Jackson rec-
j ognized the man whe stole
money from a Hawkins filling
I station as a transient who had
jbeen in town all of the pre-
vious day. He set officers upon
i the trail, and the thief was
1 later captured in Gladewater.
Absentees Few.
Although influenza is affect-
ing attendance at MHS, the
list of absentees averaged only
twelve per cent of the total
enrollment this week. This is
a slight percentage of absences
in comparison with that of
other schools, many of which
Girls Play Volley Ball.
The girls' volley ball team
played Hainesville last Friday
night at the gym. They won
the first game but lost the last
two. Players were Imogene
t)obbs, Opal Pritchett, Wanda
Lawson, Billie Phillips, Jackie
Thrasher. Mattie Barnett, and
Lillian Skinner. The girls do
not have any definite coach,
but expect to have one in the
near future.

LET'S HELP THE BAND
There is no question but that
a good band is one of the best
means of advertising M?neola
and we can have one of the best
bands in the state if we will

Young, in fact, led the high
