wouldn’t quit. When a man hit
him, he would get up and laugh
about it. And he always got re-

placed by another hard player,
S. E. Thomson. Another Dragon,
who I think can’t be beat, is Has-
kell (Rosie) Maxey, one of the
ace guards. He proved to the
fans that he too wouldn’t take
a defeat. 1 might say that he play-

Their table manners in their
own school cafeteria are un-
civilized. They gobble ard gulp
all over the table, talk with
their mouths full. (Few girls are
guilty of this).
They wear dirty white shoes;
of course this is bad. You do it
because everybody else does it.
Nobody can complain if you want
to wear your comfortable old
saddle .shoes, winter and summer
—but why must they be dirty?
Their dress hems are uneven.
Isn’t it just like a man to notice
everything like that? It offends
his mathematical life. But since

6 to 6. Mobley did some great
playing Friday night, and he will j
be in full swing this coming Fri- 1
day. Sept. J7, against Memphis.
(Buddy Sublett, who took the place
of last year’s ace full-back, Bil-
lie Joe Thomson, is doing goon at
this position. He made several
hard drives through Crowell’s line
for a gain of several yards. Phil-
lips, Bigham, Hatley, and Parr
also played a swell game. Sandlin
did some good tackling, block-
ing, and passing against Crowell
to show that he’s going to be hard
to handle in the coming games.
Last and least in size is the
bantam-weight half back, Arthur
Hobbs. Some people may think he
can’t play because he is so small,
but get out there and let him hit
you, amd then see what you think.
You know' that dynamite comes
in small packages. Doesn’t it,
Hobbs?
Whether the Dragons won last
Friday or not. I still say they will
be the District Winners; so fol-
low them to Memphis on Friday
night and see them defeat the
Memphis Cyclones.
FASHION HITS
By Kidy Belle Cole
What’s new in the field of
fashion? That is what everyone
is asking.
Twelve months of wa r id
Europe have so dislocated nor-
mal industry that fall clothes will
necessarily be very American. As
many of you have noticed, red,
white, and blue combinations are
very popular and also patriotic
pins, as flags, ect. are seen.
Ivagrno Parker has a very cute
one.
Pick a pocket from the patch
slash, kit, kangaroo, pouch, knap-
-:uk. peg, Dutch boy ard cas
and carry designs. Others are
> laced three inches above the hem-
line of skirt, but don’t ask us
why! Lucyll Tucker was seen in
a very attractive blue skirt with
pockets on one of the above or-
der!
Red coats are coming. Fir -
engine red, schoolhouse red, stop-
r.si, oh, well, what is the dif-
ference ! Margaret Fancher has an
adorable coat.
Slack suits seem to be the
lage at the present moment. For
instance, Helen Smith wore a very
interesting blue suit Friday. Eloise
Berry and Dorothy Washburn al-
so had on slack suits.
We sincerely hope that each of
you enjoy reading the West W’ind
as much as we, the staff, enjoy
writing it.

JOKES
Mrs. Reid: "Dawson, what time
is it?’
Dawson: (Just getting home).
“One o'clock.”
About that, time the clock start-
ed striking three o’clock.
Mrs. Reid. “My, my, how that
clock does stutter.”
POETRY CORNER
The School Spirit
Let's form a happy band,
A band with the school spirit!
If we try we surely can
Make this a unified school.
A school where everyone takes
part
And when a project is assigned
Everyone’s ready and anxious to
start.
Let’s try this year--
Memories of this year we’ll hold
dear.

ATTENTION
Come to the theatre on Oct. 3
and help select Miss Paducah.
Helen Smith spent Sunday in
Wichita Falls.
complexion.
(So Paducah girls—let’s learn
our lesson—let’s set an example
of neatness and kindliness that
will put us above the average for
a high school girl.)
Lady: “Come, Henry, I am
ready to go."
Milliner: “Wait a minute, lady,
here is your hat. That’s the box
it came in you are wearing.”
Janies: Do you think Georg.
Washington could throw a quarter
across the Delaware?”
Ernest O.: “I guess so, he
pitched his tent across it when
the British were after him.”
CAMPUS WHIRLWIND
Wonder if Maurice Munson had
a good time Thursday night with
all those girls?
Shug surely was anxious for
everyone to know that it was
Avis Ann's cousin that she was
with last Sunday.
The Paducah pep squad cer-
tainly did appreciate the Chili-
eothe pep squad helping out Fri-
day night.
If we can keep up the school
spirit that we all had last week,
Paducah High will soon be just
fine.
Could a certain blond junior
boy from Cee Vee be falling for
a Soph? What's the matter Betty
Jo?
Joyce Combest seems to really
be doing all right. Lately, you
don’t see Joyce unless you see
her escort.
Ralph Hogue has certainly fall-
en for a certain brown eyed
blond junior. We wonder if the
feeling is mutual.
The Jackson-Fischer romance is
still sizzling! nice going!
If you ever want to find any-
one and don’t know where to look
first, just try the skating rink.
That seems to’be the most popular
place now. , _ , ,
When did Kidy Belle Cole and
Avis Ann Boyle start conin g
out for football? At least, they
came to the Barbeque given for
the football boys Friday night.
It seems that Friday night was
a good time for the West Wind
snoopers to be on the lookout,
a little bit of everything happens
ed, it seems. How about it, Helen ?
Does Ralph always arrange
dates for his friends?
What certain junior Boy is
getting a rush (from one girl)?
Has Patton Springs been kind
to Harold Anderson?
Does Gayle always walk sid<
ways when he smiles?
Kaki seems to be over-whelmed
with a whole trio of handsome
ones. You couldn’t guess who, could
you? “Fish.”
Is Lottye Beth very interested in
Grow ?
Lester Moss just delights in
teasing girls when they are hot.
Who is Miss Paducah? Come
and see—Oct. 3—Palace Theatre.

LUCKY STIRS
... tmtf btiiAeb
\
iJc
/Chooi. bells are ringing for
American boys and girls.
In many other lands today youngsters
aren’t so lucky.
Sirens are screaming in their ears,
sending them scurrying into under-
ground shelters.
We can thank our lucky stars and
stripes for escape from such terrors.
Our flag is a symbol of freedom in a
country despised by oppressors who
think Americans are far too rich.
We are rich. Gloriously rich. Not in
money but in a wealth of the kind of
things we can use and enjoy. For in-
stance, with only 7% of the world’s
population, we have half of the world’s
railroads, half of the world’s coffee is
served on our tables; we consume two-
thirds of the world s oil. We own more
automobiles, radios, telephones than all
the rest of the world put together. And,
more important, we have the freedom
to enjoy these things as we please.
