DEFENSE STAMPS ON
SALE IN CHS
Claude High is trying to become
an "All American" school by every-
one obtaining Defense Savings
Stamps. James Carrol Schmidt, one
of the outstanding Juniors of the
Claude High, has been working very
hard toward this goal. Up to date
he has sold approximately fifteen
dollars worth of stamps. There were
several speeches given in assembly
on the defense program. Among the
girls speaking were LaNell Doshier,
Luella January, Kathryn Lauderdale.
Bonna Delle Porter and Helen Sar-
gent. CHS thinks this is a very
worthy cause and want to do their
part in helping the defense, akl #
For Ponies It's Open-
Season On Turkeys
On a date somewhere in the vici-
nity of Thanksgiving, Coach Mc-
Daniels and his Mustangs will be
going on a Bi-Dlstrlct Champion-
ship Turkey hunt. As to where
their hunting grounds will be locat-
ed it is not definitely known, but
the hunters and the fowl will pro-
bably "meet half-way." The Mus-
tangs are loaded with fight, speed,
football knowledge and ability that
has kept them in the lead for the
past two years.
Last Friday the hunting Mus-
tangs scouted the Turkey Turks
and the Estelline Cubs, In which
the Turks won 6-0, and dope re-
ceived from the Mustangs contain-
ed: 'they are going to be some
tough Toms." So when the turkey
call sounds for this tilt the bag
limit will be disregarded for the
Mustangs are shooting through this
open season turkey hunt with all
ammunition needed, aid #

RUTHERFORD AT THE
DISTRICT FFA
Roy M. Rutherford, the local re-
presentative to '-he district meet-
ing of the FFA at Pampa, came
home with the honor of district
treasurer. November 11th, while the
rest of the students of CHS were
celebrating Armistice Day, Mr. R.
L. Cure and Roy Rutherford went
to Pampa where from five o'clock
until nine a great deal of work
was done for the FFA. The main
topic was the election of officers
for the district organization. Roy
is also a member of a committee
to set up the objectives for the
district chapters.
Among other things that were
set up at the meeting was the
setting aside by each chapter from
$10.00 to $15.00 for the building of
a kitchen on a thirty-acre plot at
Lake McKlellan. This will be of
a great use to the chapters when
they wish to entertain. #
CHANTERS TO CHANT IN CHS
The Claude School will have the
privlledge of being entertained by
the Chanters of McMurry College
Monday 24th. McMurry College is

time they will give thirty-two per-

twenty-one members. Among some

CHS Attends Area
FHT Meeting
Bright and early Saturday morn-
ing nine bright-eyed and cleanfaced
young lads and lassies with their
sponsor, Mrs. Vernon Sublett, went
to Amarillo to an Area Meeting of
the FHT. The eager-to-learn stu-
dents registered at 9:30 and went
on a sight-seeing tour of Amarillo
Senior High Building. They met
in the auditorium and enjoyed a
program of Amarillo Sandie Band
Music, a make-believe air plane
trip to South America, Mexico,
Alaska, Hawaii and then back to
the good ole USA, a discussion by
Porto Rlcan girls attending WTSC
at Canyon and a business session.
After the morning session of the
program the willlng-to-learn young
sters were escorted to the school
cafeteria and served a delicious and
nourishing meal. To make farther
aquaintances, the students divided
into two groups and LaNell Doshier,
Luella January and Mrs. Sublett
attended the delegates meeting. Ar-
telle Kerr, Billle Lois DeHart, Irene
Luther, Nell Tyler, Imogene Collins,
Bonna Delle Porter and Carl Mc-
Elroy went to the gym and expand-
ed their knowledge on Folk Danc-
ing. At two the 1500 girls and boys
—mostly girls—met in hte auditor-
ium to be entertained by the Mexi-
can School and a beautiful style
show sponsered by Blackburn Bros.
Kuykendalls White & Kirk. Gordens
and Kliens, musical specials the
opportunity to meet the new Area
Officers for the coming year, and
to see Miss Gladys Armstrong, Area
1 Supervisor, presented with a beau-
tiful blue down comfort by the
Area Sponscrs.
LaNell Doshier, Area Recording
Secretary, made a very fine show-
ing at this meeting. She had con-
trol over the entire group during
roll call and several meeting min-
ute readings. Mrs. Sublett stated
that she was very pleased with La-
Nell and her marvelous work.
The group was adjourned and
invited to a tea in the school cafe-
teria. The cafeteria was decorated
with beautiful flowers. Delicious re-
freshments were served and the
learned group of CHS students made
their weary way home to tell the
Club of the most perfect rally they
ever attended, bdp tt

know what the endleu chat-
ter to about? It may be a lot of
fun for those concerned but please
give the poor ignorant souls outside
of the mentioned circle a chance.
After all the school section Is sup-
posed to contain news that every-
body can understand.
Our exchange list consists of from
fifteen to twenty papers and only
three of these can be commended
for excellent gossip, or If you want
to be classy about It, call it the
society column. The three in men-
tion are "High Society" from Dal-
hart- Hi-times, "Hornets Hive" from
the Tulia Hornet, and "Around
School-' from the Lockney Longhorn
Round-Up. These columns are
newsey, interesting and they let
everyone know what Is going on
Instead of some fun for a few.
There are a number of schools
that have a legislative body called
the student council. Among these
are Canyon, Hereford, Tulia, Lock-
ney, Dalhart and many others. It
is reported that these bodies are
functioning nicely. It would be well
to follow the examples, set up a
law making body in CHS that
would cut down on the to much
rule making by the teachers and
set up a few rules for the students
to go by or to have a little "gov-
ernment of the people, by the peo-
ple, for the people" or have you
read your history,
It is also reported through a
number of schools that the libraries
are being developed. We might let
it be known that our library has
been worked over in that a num-
ber of the books have been re-
bound. This is not enough, many
of the schools have added books
to their collection. Why can not
CHS do the same? After all we
need a change In the old system
once in a while just like the other
schools in this territory, rmr #
NEW MEMBERS
WELCOMED TO STAFF
Monday, as the typewriters began
clicking, more noise was heard than
usual and looking around we dis-
covered two new members added
to the staff. They are Nelle Tyler,
who has charge of Grade School
news and Ninva Taylor, who will
let us know just when the students
of CHS become a year older. These
students are both Seniors. This is
Nelle's first year at Claude and
Ninva's second. They are from Mt.
Pleasant and Lakeview schools, alk fc

STUDENT ATMOSPHERE
DIFFERENT DURING
EXAM WEEK
A week like that past is always
one that can easily be recognized
on the CHS campus because of the
tense reactions shown by the stu-
dents. The atmosphere during exam
weeks, or "dead weeks," is a serious,
studious one seldom seen copied in
the five weeks preceeding it. Stu-
dents are working seriously in a
hurried speed in making up work,
constructing notebooks and study-
ing for the six-weeks exams. So
next week the students will pro-
bably show a great relaxation from
the past, aid #

WASHINGTON LETTER:-
'Continued From First Page)
we permit Hitler to conquer the
world, one country at a time, as
he has been doing, that it will not
x long until he will conquer
Vfrica and then South America
'possibly without having to fire a
shot) then Central America, and
then attack us. In this effort, Ger-
many would, of course, have the
aid of Japan and Italy.
The point that has been given
serious consideration is that it is
undoubtedly better for as to go
into debt and provide Russia and
England with the planes, tanks,
guns and ammunition and supplies,
and thereby help their men to
fight in actual battle for the pur-
pose of conquering Hitler, rather
than waiting until our men would
have to shed their blood upon our
own soil to defend our country. In
other words, regardless of the poli-
tical or religious beliefs of the Rus-
sian people, it is in the Interest of
America that we assist any country
in weakening the power that is
threatening the security and the
well-being of our own people. If
all the desperadoes of the entire
world were taken from prisons and
were organized into an army to
fight Hitler, our country would
doubtless assist them without con-
sidering the type people who were
doing the fighting.
In the debates in the House, the
isolationists would often ask the
question of a speaker, who favored
all-out aid to England and Russia,
if he believed that Hitler would
tell the truth. When the speaker
would reply that he did not believe
Hitler, the isolationists would then
assert that we should not believe
these stories that he has written
in his books that he expected
through world revolution to conquer
the world The best reply to that
type question is that Hitler tries
to carry out every threat and I
believe that you can believe his
threats, but Hitler has never carried
out any promise and you cannot
believe his promises. In other words,
believe his threats, but do not rely
upon his promises.
Woodrow Wilson always said that
our country would make a serious |
mistake if we ever gave up the doc-j
trine of freedom of the seas. ThU
doctrine means that the seas do
not belong to any country, any j
ruler, any person or Government,
but that the seas belong to all
the people and all the countries.!
By repealing the so-called Neutrality
Act. America is re-affirming that
doctrine and saying that we will I
insist upon our rights to sail our;
ships upon the seven seas any time:
any where. Further, we are arming
our ships, believing that the right
of self-defense is the first law of |
nature, and applies to ships and to
ccuntries, as well as to individuals. |
So. the moves that are being made1
in Congress now are in the direc-
tion of pelf-defense for our own
national defense..
An overwhelming majority of the
people favor the lease-lend acts,
which would cause thirteen billion
dollars worth of materials and sup-
plies to go to England and Russia.
