P. T. A. Associations Finish
Full Program of Past Year
By MARY KATHERINE LYLE
North and South Ward schools have been benefitted In many ways
during the past year through the work of the two Parent-Teacher as-
sociations which have been more active in their work this year than
ever before.
Pull programs, including the sponsoring of school kitchens, raising
money to buy library books, beautifying school grounds and the regular
work of the P. T. A. organizations, have been carried out, with the two
associations and their leaders showing splendid cooperation In every way.
, SOUTH WARD P. T. A.
The South Ward P. T. A. has had
a very successful year under the
direction of Mrs. E. K. Caperton,
president. They have completed
the required library of $25 worth
of books for each room. They have
also bought .an American flag for
each of the rooms. They started on
the Texas flags but did not have
time to complete them. They plan
to get one for each room next
year. A pencil sharpener was added
for each room.
around Beautification has also
been an Important feature this
year. There have been many beau-
tiful shrubs set around the build-
ing, and they have bought enough
hose 4>d pipe to care for them.
They have men working now ter-
racing the back playground.
The P. T. A. has worked with
the Red Cross to feed and clothe
needy families during the winter.
However, the P. T. A. has given
Chlrstmas charity boxes of grocer-
ies, and have kept about 25 chil-
dren in school without any outside
aid The women have been feeding
from 36 to 40 children In the R.
P. C. kitchen every day since
March 1.
The officers for next year are:
NORTH WARD P. T. A.
North Ward P. T. A. has had a
very successful year under the
leadership of 'Mrs. Lewis Goodrich.
They have bought $250 worth of
books for the school library. Next
year they plan to complete the re-
quired library. They have had a-
bout 70 children each day In the
school kitchen. Besides that they
have clothed about 50 children.
Next year the district conference Is
to be held in Shamrock, and they
expect enough money extra to
make the conference one of the
most successful. This year the con-
ference was held in Amarillo. Pour
teachers and members of the P. T.
A. represented Shamrock. The of-
ficers of next year are as follows:
Mrs. Gene Harrel, president; Mrs.
Grady Starkey, secretary; Mrs. L.

benefit for the children In our care.
The children have shown an in-
terest and an earnestness seldom
shown by children so young.
We want to thank the workers in
our P. T. A. for the books they
gave us, also for their help in
maintaining the kitchen at the
school.
We too have confidence In the
fairness of our school board. We
believe in them and are sure that,
they have done the test for
that is In their power.
I have observed the growth of
the Shamrock school since 1906
and I think that this year has been
the most successful year in the
history of the school.
Between the first graduating class
•of Shamrock high school, of which
Mrs. T. J. Lyle was a member, to
the class of 1933, of which her
daughter, Mary Katherine, Is a
member, lies a difference of 22
years in time and 28 class members
but the class spirit remains the
same.
An announcement of the 1911
commencement exercises, and the
program for the evening, is a
cherished keepsake of Mrs. Lyle,
and Is very interesting In compari-
son with the activities of 1933
senior week.
There were four members of the
graduating class of 1911: Clarice
Rumph, Annie Hugh Norwood (Mrs.
Lyle), Henry Mundy, and Hattie
Small, now Mrs. Walter Mount of
Amarillo. The class flower was car-
nation and the colors maroon and
white. The motto, “No Victory
Without Labor,” was used by the
class of 1911, while this year it is
"Out of School Life Into Life’s
School.”
As Mary Katherine has a place
on the 1933 program with her sa-
lutatorlan address, so did her
mother have a place on the first
commencement program.
The commencement program for
May 10, 1911, was as follows;
March from “Tannhauser,” Mmes.
Moore and Holmes; "The Marvel of
Nations," Clarice Rumph; "Na-
ture's Messages to Man,” Annie

In the closing days of our school

spirit of cooperation and loyalty
shown our school by my teachers,

Ward P. T. A., patrons and pupils.
I have greatly enjoyed our year’s

work.
Those attending from Wheeler

chairman of the Home Demonstra-
tion Council. Mrs. W. L. Williams,
Mrs. j, M. Porter, Harrison Hall
and the Home Agent.

You may get an education at any
time of life in your own home, as
fast as your vision and effort will
permit, said Miss Bess Edwards,
Assistant Home Demonstration Ag-
ent of Texas, to a group of Home
Agents and Home Demonstration
club women from Districts 1 and 2,
during the one-day Short Course
held in the W. T. S. T. College In
Canyon, Thursday, May 11.
In addition to cultivating their
brains, Miss Edwards said, home
demonstration women are making
the conquest of bread by planning
and planting gardens that will give
an adequate food supply, putting in
sub-irrigation to help, making 4-H
pantries and opening 4-H markets
to sell their surplus products. They
are capturing beauty by improving
their kitchen, bed rooms, living
rooms, making rugs, planning and
planting yards, working on their
wardrobes so they might be better
dressed on smaller sums and build-
ing closets to take care of their
clothing. 8he urged the women to
live to the best of their ability this
year.
Do a little better than you did
last year, look a little neater, dress
more attractively, keep your house
a little cleaner, play a little harder,
be a little kinder, make a better
garden, presreve quality products In
your 4-H pantry. Worry less, for
even “this shall pass away."
Others on the program were Miss
Minnie Mae Grubbs, Mrs. J. A.
Hill, chairman of the Randall
County Home Demonstration Coun-
cil, L. F. Sheffy, who has charge
of the Historical Museum, T-Anchor

“SOFT-BALL” LEAGUE
Formation of a "twilight league"
of soft-ball teams has been started
in Clarendon, and three teams
have already been enrolled, with
several more expected to line up
in the next few days.
“Soft ball” Is similar to baseball
in most respects, but is played with
a soft ball larger than the regula-
tion baseball, not requiring the use
of protective mitts and gloves.
The league Is being organized to
provide games for the late after-
noons that will give enjoyment to
players and spectators alike.

matter what the price. In every
licks Rubber Company has sam-
pled Star Motor Oil in this manner, the repeat busi-
ness has justified our going to this initial expense
in getting regular, continuous users of this new,
longer lasting lubricant. Once you try Hicks-Star,
you will never again accept any oil of less quality.

To acquaint you with the superiority of this better grade of oil—

The oil itself costs you nothing. We are charging
you for the freight, tax and service of draining and
refilling. . . TOTAL ........................................................

A Full Crankcase Sample—To Demonstrate Star Quality
It would be poor business on our part
to give away a cheap grade of oil. The
sample must be good, It must be superior
to the oil you have been using, or you
won't come back to buy some more of it!
You can see, therefore, that we can’t af-
ford to give you anything less than the
finest automobile oil on the market,
When we tell you that all previous
standards of quality and excellence in
lubricants fall short of Hicks-Star Motor
OH, our statement Is backed by the tes-
timonials of thousands of
car owners,
who have found that this finer, longer
lasting mote* oil stands up and retains
Its body better than the brands of oil
previously used by these motorists.
Gef Your Crankcase of HICKS-STAR OIL SATURDAY
We’ll drain your crankcase and refill with Hicks-
Star, as many quarts as your car or truck requires
. . . five, six, seven quarts'. . . as much as your
crankcase holds. We make no charge for the oil it-
self. This is a sampling offer. All we ask you to
pay is 35c to cover freight, tax and service cost for
the complete job. We have extra help. It will take
only a few minutes to change your oil.
