Our Friday afternoon pep
rallies usually end with the
Hinging of our alma mater. Have
you ever noticed how many
people do not join in and sing
it? Is it because they are not
interested in helping to build
up the pep and morale of our
Iteam? That’s hardly likely, in
fact it isn’t even a natural at-
titude for one of our students.
Is is because they are timid?
Suerly not, for they will be
Hinging in unison, not solo. Or
is it because they do not know
it? The melody is a favorite of
many and the words are easy to
learn. It is the duty of every
single student of Mineola High
School to learn this song Since
you probably know the tune of
“Anchors Aweigh’’ just learn
these words and put the two to-
gether:
M.H.S., we love you,
Alma Mater true,
Our hopes, ideals, and dreams
Are all inspired by you-u-u,
Proudly today we stand,
’Tis a mighty land,
Our past lives on and on,
The Yellow Jackets.
Do You Need to
Buy a Gas Stove
This Winter?
If a g-as stove is on your list for
this winter, we again suggest that
you BUY NOW.. .for stoves will
certainly be among the critical
items for at least another year.
And certainly your new stove
should be a DEARBORN.. .and we
have just the size Dearborn you
need, whether it’s for bath room or
living room. Our supply is limited
.. .so hurry!
Mineola Home Appliance
The Orange and White,
Hurray!
Now, gang, let’s get in the
habit of singing it out proudly!

Cullom to M.H.S. She teaches
Freshmen and Sophomore Eng-
lish. This isn’t her first time
to teach in Mineola, for sev-
eral years ago, she taught Eng-

the Juniors and Seniors remem-
ber her especially for the in-
teresting and colorful operattas
in whclV they took part under
her direction. More recently she
has been working with the OPA
In Dallas and Washington, D. C.
Mrs. Cullom is a sister of
Mrs. Parr who taught History
here last year.
She seemed to be enthusias-
tic where our Yellow Jackets
are concerned and expressed a
desire that they should win
the district championship.
We hope you like M.H.S.,
Mrs. Cullom.

MHS REGRETS THE
RESIGNATION OF IT’S
SUPERINTENDENT
The student body and faculty
regret the resignation of Mr.
D. E. Brooks, who has worked
diligently for the good of our
school. When he became sup-
erintendent our school had
owed almost twenty thousand JACKIE’S CORNER
dollars for many years, but by'
appearance of the girls on the
field goes to our untiring, en-
ergetic, and enthusiastic drum
major, Patsy Aldrich.

for
economy and good manage-
ment, he has paid this debt. He
has also been able to bring
about a much needed increase
in the very inadequate teachers’
salaries. Two new school buses
have also been bought during
his administration
In addition to this, the school
has been carried on successfully
during the last few years in
spite of an acute shortage of
teachers. This alone has been
no little task.
For these accomplishments, if
there were no others, the school
and the people of Mineola owe
Mr. Brooks a great debt of
gratitude. We sincerely regret
that he will not be with us
after this school term and wish
for him in the future much
happiness and prosperity.

Xlvia Blake went south on his va-

Missus to enjoy a vacation from the
corncob pipe, clothes in a heap, and
solos on the harmonica.
First few days, Martha enjoyed

from Alvin’s midnight snacks (Al’s
partial to a bit of cheese and beer
at bedtime).
Come the end of the week, she

Telephone operators are busier than ever during
these days of more telephone calls from more
telephones than ever before. But they still take
pride in doing their job with the same character-
istic skill, patience, and courtesy that have
caused them to be known as -‘The Voice With
a Smile.” • •
j Despite the heavy increase in calls, operators
are handling most of them quickly and accu- ;
rately. Sometimes, during midmorning and late ;
afternoon (the busiest times at the switchboard)
there may be a brief wait for ‘‘Number, please,” j
but you may be sure your call will be answered
as promptly as possible. *
