Editoral
Did you make a New Year’s
resolution? If you did, let ns
hope you keep it.
As there is only a week be-
fore mid-term exams, a very
good resolution would be to
study harder than ever. If
you have not yet resolved to do
so new. Seven days of intensive
study and reviewing can bring
about wcndei's in one’s under-
standing of a subject, even if
the work previously done has
been on a rather low level.

Contract With Atlanta
Mineola’s football schedule
for 1948 has been almost com-
pleted. A two-year contract
has been made with Atlanta,
Texas. The game will be played
in Mineoia on September 10.
Atlanta plans to run a spocia!
train for the occasion.
Atlanta won the district title
last year as they have done
rather regularly in the past.
They are a very colorful ball
squad, and one of the most
interesting clashes of the sea-
son is expected at this game.

We Extend Our Sympathy
The students of Mineoia High
School wish to express their
deepest sympathy to these
teachers whose close relatives
passed away during the holi-
days: to Mrs. Prim who lost
her mother, to Coach McKee
who lost his brother, and to
Miss Yoakum who lost her
father.

Is This Why The Team
Doesn’t Click?
Ask yourself this question,
Do I support the basketball
team?” Or, do you sit by and
let things go as they will?
^Why wouldn’t it be wise to
support the team? They are
playing for you.
Students, let’s double the
attendance at our games which
occur on each Tuesday and
Friday night. The schedule is |
posted on the bulletin board.
Let’s watch it and go to the
games here and in the neigh-
taring towns also.

Athens vs. Mineoia
An excellent Athens team

the Jackets 31 to 21 last Fri-

six points.
