THE ALBANY NEWS
Albany School News
WE HEAR THAT
Two of Albany high school's ex
(tndcnte played outstanding foot-
Ml this past week. Hill Vernon,
who played end in 1944 for the
Albany Lions, ifot much favorable
comment Sor his (tame last Satur-
day u half-back for Southwestern
University, against the McMurry
Indians at Abilene.
(The following is taken from the
Fort Worth Star-Telegram) :
Toajr Slaughter—Two of the
city's finest college prospects, liill
McPherson and Hon Hunt of
Amon Carter Riverside, uncorked
an 80-yard touchdown play which
■tands out as one of the best of
the season. It came as a surprise
to the fans and to the I'oly Har-
lots in the Thursday night District
"-rnrrrTn^rnsTsr-
The general science class, under
the direction of their teacher, Mr.
Taylor, went to the city park
where they held a kite contest. Si*
kites were entered in the contest.
Frank Tucker, Hon Williams,
and James (jillespie had the pret-
tiest kite on the ground and
their's flew the longest.
Weldon Waller's kite flew the
Hghest.
The kite that flew the prettiest
belonged to Mozelle Steddum.

What We'r* Thankful For
All of us high school students,
and we believe most of the teach
ers, are thankful for two hol.daj-
(lertrude is thankful you can
juM walk into the grocery and buy
7 AA game. Holy's Hen Tompkins Wn< •lPI'l< •
lifted a high opening kick-off to
llcPherson on the 10-yard line.
McPherson drew most of the Holy
tackle!)—down to the 15 where he
halted, threw a cross-field lateral
for about 20 yards to Hon Hunt
who was steaming down the east
•ideline. Hunt, showing more
■peed than he's ever exhibited he-
fore, headed straight down the
■ideline to the Holy 40 where five
Carter blockers had been waiting
to convoy him the rest of the way.
Be didn't need them so he cut
across field untouched for an K0-
yard scoring scamper, all in 1!
■tconds from the opening whistle.
It was the play which set the Har-
rots off balance .for the night and
the Eagles went on to win, 20-7.
—A.H.S.—
"Music Hath Power ..."
4 •
Music has power ... if you
don't believe this you should have
been on the old school hill Tues-
day at noon. Reminiscent of the
way the rats turned out to hear
the Pied Piper was the way stu-
dents spilled out of buildings
hunting the source of appealing J Mitchell,
music and enthusiastic foot-pat-
ting. G etting to the source of it,
they found Mr. ('.ray Webb giving
out on a French harp w th that
unusual favorite, "Turkey In the
Straw.' We' re not the type to
swoon but we do appreciate novel
music, especially impromptu mu>ic
from our visitors.
Iterrell i- thankful for ;i short
trip to Stamford instead of ;i long
trip to California.
Mr. Downing is thankful for a
brand new bell-ringing clock.
Hill Webb is thankful that there
really is a Santa t'laus.
Hill Smalley is thankful that
Marcell finally got home -o thej
can have a real Thanksgiving.
All the football boy.- are glad
football season is over -o they can
eat all the turkey they want.
Hill Dixon is thankful for open
season on deer and turkey.
I.a Delle Faught is thankful that
the football banquet is coming up.
She might get a corsage.
We are all thankful that Christ-
mas is le.s:. than a month away
'cause we ju.-t can't be good much
longer.

Teen Agers Must Be Important
We must he important charac-

not, just look here: There are ra-
dio programs about us; plays and
movie displaying our antics
(often to our displeasure), mag-

our habits; entire magazines are'
published for us, and clothes are |
de igned for our figures. A proof, |
we refer you to "The Brew ter'

school plays and movie.- such as
"Ki.-s and Tell," "J an if," and |
"Seventeen". There are numer-
ous articles in magazines such as
"The Sub Deb" in the Ladies
Home Journal, "Tips for Teens"
in an Abilene paper, and "Teen
Scene-'' in the Family Circle.
Calling All Girls, Calling All Hoys,
,nd Mis* America are magazines
devoted exclusively to teen-agers.
Our fash oris are designed by Sub-
deb, Junior Hazaar and special
articles in many magazines.
Now the question is, how do we
feel about it'.' Do the designers
who design our clothe.- really
know the score when it comes to
the teen-age figure'.' Do the writ-

programs and in the movies'.' Do

That the belief that the heart
is situated on the left side of the

on the fact that the heart's beat
can be more clearly felt on the left

NOTED VIOLINIST AT
H-SU NOV. 29
ABILENE. — The concert of
Yehudi Menuhin, famous violinist
with the "magic bow," at Hardin-
Simmons university Friday even-
ing, Nov. 20, at 8 o'clock is ex-
pected to attract music lovers
from all towns in this vicinity.
Tickets have been placed on sale
at the Maekey Company in down-
town Abilene and mail orders are
being filled at the Hardin-Simmons
business office, it was announced
by E. W. Ledbetter, chairman of
the artist course committee.
Menuhin's program, which is de-
signed to please music lovers of
this area, will include the Sonata
No. 9 in A Major, Opus 47 by
Beethoven and the concerto in E
Major, Opus 64 by Mendelssohn,
and a group of numbers by other
well-known composers.
Giving his first public concert
at 7, Menuhin played the Men-
delssohn concerto with the San
Franc -co symphony before an au-
dience of P,000. At 10, he made
his Carnegie hall debut.
His success has been so out-
standing that one critic wrote:
"His magic bow is drawn across
the heartstrings of humanity."
Other great violinists fascinate
their listeners hut Menuhin in-
spires religious feelings in his au-
diences. There is the hushed at-
mosphere of the cathedral when he
plays."
