will soon depart from our S. H. S.

Jack Anderson is a football hero
of our high school. He was bom on
August 3, 1922, the son of Mr. and
Mrs. J. W. Anderson. He plays quite
an important part in the school ac-

AMBITION
He came from a family of physi-
ftans and surgeons, many of them
famous. He had brains and all
around ability. People prophesied
that he would be the greatest suc-
cess in the family line.
But he began to run away from a
Sard task. When a school lesson was
difficult, he would evade it somehow.
When the teacher tried to bring
him back to It, he turned against
her, said she was unfair, and stayed
away from school. His parents sup-
ported him in these disputes. He
idled away two years at medical
school until he was asked not to re-
turn. He could not face a hard task.
Today he does odd jobs around
the small village where he lives—be
cause this Is all he can do.
Here is another boy. He worked in
a shop all day, for his parents could
not afford to send him to school. At
home he studied far into the night.
i-e got along without the fun and
luxury that other boys thought they
must have. Sometimes he even ran
the risk of skipping his meals. He
saw something greater ahead.
Today he is a famous professor in
tip great university. He welcomed a
hard job, instead of dodging it.
It is still true, as the Uves of these
two boys show, "that whatsoever a
man soweth, that shall he also reap.”

Jack’s ambition is to be a football
coach.
Roy Autrey Is the son of Mr. and
Mrs. B. P. Autrey of the United Gas
Pipe Line northwest of town. He
has lived here for three years. Roy
is sixteen years old. He sings In the
chorus, plays the trombone, and is
a sergeant in the band. He plans
for A. and M. College to be his Alma
Mater.

lsually large amount of money made
jy the classes carries out that point
^rfectly. To make such a large
unount of money in such a short
;ime demands the utmost co-opera-
don.
Did you ever see a group of class
sponsors work harder? No one has.

jredit for the class successes. Their

CARNIVAL DINNER
My Night
-As related by a car.
Creak! Groan! and creak again!
Ho-hum! What a night! Pardon me,
folks. I didn’t know you were listen-
ing to me. Guess I’d better explain
all that moaning. It's really quite a
story, too.
As you perhaps have guessed by
now, last night was Hallowe en.
Well, the nut—oops! Pardon me!—
the gentleman who drives me got
me out of the garage and went
cruising down the road to pick up
his best girl friend. He got her, after
waiting about thirty minutes; then
we all started back to town. I chug-
ged—er—uh—I mean purred along
up to the school house. My! wasn’t
that joint—er—uh—place all lighted
up. Hallowe’en Carnival, so I heard.
The guy—er—uh—boy who drives
me looked me up for safe keeping
then he and the dame—er—uh—girl
with him sauntered off to take In
the sights.
Here Is where my story really be-
gins! A coupla brats—er—mischie-
vous children snuck up on me. and
before I knew what was happening
my windows were all marked up
with soap. Boy! such things as they
did write!
No sooner had they disappeared
than two very familiar faces peeped
in me. (I’d better not tell who they
were. I might get run into next time
I’m out.) Oops! something wrong!
I heard a hissing noise, and—yes,
one of my back tires was going
down. I knew I’d get the blame for
that tire being flat! That’s just
what happened, folks. Some of my
owner's best pals let the air out-of
my tires, and I got the bawling out.
Well, to continue my story, along
about ten o’clock here comes friend
owner and girl friend—ah! he’s the
perfect gentleman. He opens the
door and very gently shoves the girl
friend in. Ain’t he the berries?
“Well,” he remarked to his girl,
“pretty fair carnival, eh what?” I’m
not going to repeat anything I heard
for the next five minutes because,
just as he said that, he discovered
my flat tire!
Well, we got the tire all fixed m
time to go to the preview. While I
was waiting for them, some of the
“children” who should have been in
bed hours before, came by and
picked on me for a while. They
wrote on every spot which hadn’t al-
ready been covered then started let-
ting air out of my tires. When they
had finished with me they moved
on in their mission of mischief.
Gosh! was my owner mad when
he started home? The girl friend’s
mother had said we ought to be
home fairly early! Well, what we
wanted to know was how! We knew
The climax of the Hallowe’en Car-
nival Thursday night was the Coro-
nation. Tre theme of this event was
indeed timely for it carried out the
idea of the banishment of War and
the triumpli of Peace. After its
overture, "March of the Brave,” a
selected group of musicians from our
Irish band gave a short concert un-
der the able direction of Colonel
Crltes. “Tenting Tonight” and
“Tramp, Tramp, Tramp” were fol-
lowed by “Just Before the Battle,
Mother,” rendered by the boys’
quartet composed of Charlie Bruce.
Clarence Harvey, Homer Gene Ew-
ton and Bennett Clark.
After the stirring strains of “Les
Marseillaise,” the spotlight fell on
Humanity, played by Violette Par-
rish, and Mars, God of War, played
by Royce Dennis. The dramatic
sketch which followed closed with
the realization of Mars that war is
futile. Then our lovely girls' chorus,
under the diredtion of Miss Pauline
Benson, presented a song of restful
peace, following which our senior
queen, Helen Macina, appeared and
was crowned Queen of Peace by her
escort, Jack Anderson, who enacted
Liberty. The leading powers of the
world sent their ambassadors unto
Peace to receive her blessing.

One of the loveliest settings ever
used In our high school coronation
was used this year. It was a palace
of peace accented by stately white
columns against a backdrop of deep
sky blue. We are deeply indebted
to Mrs A. M. Hilbum and Miss Re-
becca Reid for both the writing and
staging of this original script. Tre
glassware and silver were washed
and polished. The girls prepared
the apples for the salad and deco-
rated the dining room. The pump-
kins were hollowed out for flower
vases. Everyone was busy ar-
ranging the flowers, leaves, pump-
kins, shocks of fodder and the ta-
bles. Hallowe’en was carried out
with black and orange cats, bats,
owls, witches and jack-o’-lantems.

Many and varied were tile cos-
tumes worn at the Hallowe’en Car-

Two of the most striking persons
at this gala affair were Clowns,
Walker and Burkhalter. These per-
sonages had the time of their young
lives. Walker reminded one of a very
large, rectangular box with a turtle
sitting on top of it. Mr. Burkhalter
was a little better proportioned. Was
it just a coincidence, orJiad Mother
Nature done her worst, for neither
needed to buy a false face?
The ‘faculty turned out at least
fifty per cent strong in colorful re-
galia, Mrs. Walker, Miss Holt, and
Miss Lewis were dressed in attrac-

The student body co-operated very
enthusiastically with the plan of
Hallowe’en costumes. Ghosts, witch-

THE LAST WORDS
Of a Bar of Soap
For many weeks I have lived a
nice, peaceful life in the grocery
store; yet it seems that only yester-
day I began my trip from my “birth-
place” to the wholesaler and again
from there to my present resting
place. Many of my comrades have
already gone, never to be seen again.
I wonder where I’ll be next. There
goes my last comrade. I’m the only
one left. I know now that my days
are numbered. I hate to think of the

dinner was highly complimented by
the many who attended. To Miss
McAninch and her homemaking
girls much credit should be given
for their successful efforts.

to spend my last hours with. They
tell me that my execution has been
set for nine o’clock tonight.
That fated moment is now close
at hand. The clock strikes nine. Now
begins my slow, tortuous execution.
My purchaser Is now with a group
of boys who are out to “soap up the
town.” They start uptown. Well,
here I go. I am slowly dwindling
away. They leave, part of me on the
Chevrolet Garage: another part on
Kersh-Griffin, and another on Ben-
son-Hamilton. I am very small now.
At least, these stores will have to
give, their windows a good washing;
I have helped humanity a little at
least.
This execution is surely a long,
drawn-out affair. They are now go-

group of merry people. My, what a
celebration. I only wish I could see
more of It. What’s the hurry? May-
be they got caught. No, the boys Just

tained something and he challenged
the visitor: "What do you think

palms of his hands, and answered
triumphantly, “No, guess again.”
“An airplane?’1
“No.” said the inmate after an-
other peek.
“Is it a horse?” the guest finally
ventured.
Furtively the Inmate eyed his cup-

When we hear any one of our
ninety-two elements mentioned, we
usually begin thinking of many fan-
tastic, technical things. Most of our
elements, however, are very simple
if the technical side is left out. Let
us think of our very common ele-
ment, carbon. The greater per cent
of our body is made; up of this ele-
ment and a very vast field of carbon
deals directly with carbon. Carbon
is found in three quite different
forms. Amphorous carbon, very soft,
occurs as charcoal or carbon black;
graphite, the second type of carbon,
is found in the lead of our pencils;
the third type, quite different from
the soft amphorous carbon, is the
hardest substance kpown, the dia-
mond. Of course one may become
very technical on any element, but
many simple facts about them can
be learned very easily.

Football Follies
Presented During
Hallowe’en Event
The Junior class worked hard
these last two weeks supporting
their queen, Mary Estelle Roden.
They earned their money by selling
dinner tickets and shamrocks and
by giving a dance sponsored for
them by their parents. Generou*
food donations were made by the
Junior class also. Although they
were not victorious, the members of
the class have shown themselves to
be good sports.

Several members of the band
knows as the "Hungry Five,” enter-
tained the audience for a few min-
utes before the Follies began. The
junior football squad performed a
“Spring Dance,” which was most
graceful, a modem jitterbug dance,
the dance of the Masked Beauty,
and a barnyard frolic.
The chorus beauties were fetch-
ingly dressed in short skirts, shoul-
der pads and football helmets. They
lumbered about the stage to the
sweet music of “Tuxedo Junction”
and “Johnson Rag,” played by Shir
ley Brown. As a background for the
barnyard frolic, the boys’ quartet
composed of Homer Gene Ewton,
Charlie Bruce, Clarence Harvey and
Bennett Clark sang “Ole McDonald
Had a Farm.” The chorus enacted
such farmyard characters as chick-
ens, ducks, horses, and pigs. The
whole program was thoroughly en-
tertaining.

The entire school Is rejoicing over
the new library books which came
Thursday.
Mrs. Morrow’s first grade children
who had the chickenpox have re-
turned. At the Hallowe’en party on
Thursday, the first graders had their
room decorated with jack-o-lant-
erns, cats, and witches which they
made out of construction paper. The
children played a number of Hal-
lowe’en games and most of them
wore costumes. Several of the mo-
thers helped, and a number of small
pre-school children visited.
Miss Mcllhaney’s first grade is
glad to have some of the pupils re-
turn from a long absence. They
have, in addition to their Hallow-
e'en decorations and party, been
working on a play for December.
They had their party Thursday af-
ternoon. Prizes were awarded for
hitting the jack-o-lantem. They
made pictures of witches and cats.
Then refreshments were served. All
the children reported an enjoyable
time.
The second grade is studying
poetry. They memorize the poem;
then copy it and paint a picture
based on it. This is the time that
children really and truly enjoy po-
etry. The second grade also had a
party Thursday afternoon. They
played Hallowe’en games, and prizes
were awarded. Betty Ann Dean won
the prize for pinning the cat’s tall
Refreshments were served.
The third grade would like to see
the absent children at school soon.
This grade had a Hallowe'en party
with spooks and goblins lurking ev-
erywhere. Stories were read, and
many games were played. Mrs.
Weems served refreshments.
The fourth grade Is glad to hove

they are drawing a map of South
America. The Citizenship Club met

Mr. Bailey and Mrs. Ohisenhall
wish to express their thanks for the
gifts given them at the shower last

They bobed for apples, played
punch, and gave some yells. They
had jelly beans, orange and black,
apples and nuts. They reported'a
very enjoyable time.
