“CORRAL” TO APPEAR
IN WHEELER PAPER
EDITOR C. G. MILLER TO GIVE
TWELVE EXCHANGES AND
DESIRED SPACE
Beginning with next week the
“Corral" will be published in the
home paper. C. G. Miller, editor of
the new Wheeler paper, is going to
give the Journalism class twelve ex-
changes and promises them all the
room they want In his paper. This
same courtesy has been shown dur-
ing the past few weeks by Albert
Cooper, editor of The Shamrock
Texan.
Since most of the school affairs
happen during the middle and at the
last of the week, it will be much
more convenient for the class to bo
able to get the copy in on Wednes-
day or Thursday Instead of Mon-
day or Tuesday as it has been nec-
e»'-ary to do under present condi-
tions.
The Journalism class feels greatly
indebted to The Shamrock Texan
for printing news, willingly giving
us space in The Texan and con-
tributing twelve papers to exchange.

Caught in the
Lasso's Noose
This past week-end none of the
Gilmores could bear to be around
the head of that particular family.
Does eating garlic with chili make
one so boresome as all that?
WANTED: To see some of the
good looking Wheeler boys that the
Hedley girls were talking about. .In-
formation leading to this fact will
be appreciated by the Journalism
class girls.
8omc of the boys looked very down
hearted over the week-end Won-
der why?
John went to sleep in English class
Monday. Was the reason that he
had been keeping late hours while
Mae was In Hedley or was It be-
cause he thought the English class
was not interesting enough?
Say, boys, hurry and finish your
exhibits so your mothers can see
what "her son" did.

Camera Snatches Pupils in
Odd Poses for Rogue Show
As a rule the camera men sez,
"Look at the little birdie! Smile a
little more naturally, please," but

posing whatever.
Some girls were seen “doggin’ ”
the “pitcher-taker" as if they were
as much sought after as the great
Garbo or Mae West. There should
be some back views and profiles, too,
for several who perhaps realized that
they could not become movie stars
ducked their heads and ran.
But who knows? It's possible that
as movie fans see “The eyes and
ears of the world," the familiar
sight of a two-story schoolhouse zig-
zag walks leading to it and a wire
fence surrounding it may greet their
eyes.
Little happenings sometimes
change the whole life of an individ-
ual—"From tiny acorns do big oaks
grow,” (or something like that.) It
isn't out of reason to state that
from out of these “screen tests” will
develop a second Rasputin, a Min or
Bill, a- Becky Thatcher or Robin.

Ripping Bee
During Class
“Shoot!
‘Tm tired trying to make this

to!”
“Rip, rip, rip! This is the last
time I'm going to tear this dress
apart. If it doesn’t fit 111 Just take
it home and let mamma finish it
up."
“Susie, why don't you hurry. I
want a machine before the period
Is over.”
From the above quotations it
"seams” that the freshmen in Home
Ec. I are having quite a "sewing
bee" with more tearing out than
puttin' in. When I grow up one
thing sure I don’t plan to be a good
seamstress like a lot of people I
know. I believe I’ll Just wear clothes
that don't haf to be made by any-
one.
Yours until clothes grow on trees,
rather than being made by humans,
at any rate freshmen won’t need to
worry about them then.

“PRETENDS” LETTER
WRITING OF 1612
(This is one of the fictitious let-
ters written by students in the
sophomore English class.)

Dec. 4, 1612.
Miss Betsy Ann Johnson,
Strivland. England.
Dear Betsy Ann:
We surely were glad to get the let-
ters from "home.” Your letter to
me was on the bottom of the stack.
I was afraid that you had not writ-
ten.
It snowed last night. We went
sleigh riding this morning in the
sled father made from a pine tree.
It was very crude but we children
enjoyed it.
The Indians are becoming more
friendly every day. They bring tur-
key and venison in exchange for
com, tobacco, ammunition, and
cloth. Ammunition is a show or cu-
riosity to them. Mother teases lit-
tle sister about the Indian boys; she
ateo says she would hate to see me
living in a tepee. (Don't take It
seriously; it’s only a Joke.)
Have you learned to knit yet? I
have. I made four pairs of socks
for father and a cap for Comfort,
the baby. Mother says I am im-
proving greatly.
We have harvested our crops. We
now have on hand plenty of com,
tobacco, tea for England, and pota-
toes. We kill our meat or trade It
from the Indians.
We surely do like Captain John
Smith. He can make the Indians
understand him in trading and he
keeps them in peace terms with the
cqlonlsts.
Father killed a coon yesterday and
he and mother are going to make

The colony spent Thanksgiving
in a very nice way. This was the
fifth annual Thanksgiving we have
spent in the New World. We in-
vited Big Moose-Ear and his braves,
squaws, and papooses out for din-
ner. We cooked large amounts of
com bread pone, turkey, and deer.
Mother prepared some small berries
by boiling them until they were soft
and adding honey.
My charcoal is getting short and

will write me a long, long letter
and send it back on the return ship.

how to stop acquiring so many

First, I advise you to stop making
so many breaks in the chemistry

month, right in this section of the country. We will
gladly put you in touch with home owners who will
verify this fact. A divan recently crashed through
the floors of a Shamrock home which was eaten out
by Termites. At another home Termites came up
through the floor and got into the hook case and de-
stroyed the books there-in. also eating up parts of the
book case.
