§CHOOL NEWS
'One day last week a blind man, Mr.
Faulkner, from the School for the
Blind at Austin, gave us a program.
Be was assisted by Mr. Cloud, a man
who had been blind, but had regained
hlis sight. 'Mr.. Faulkner told us all
about the school at Austin, and he al-
so gave us some valuable information
concerning the way we should look at
our school work. He could really make
a piano "talk" as we often say. Ev-
eryone enjoyed the program very
much.
The Sophomores under the direction
of Mrs. Harris, their sponsor, gave
the chapel program last week. There
were songs, readings and everything,
hut the funniest thing was the hu-
man automobile.
Mr. Windham gave the chapel pro-
gram this week and he used the
‘/Little Boys” of our school in his
program. Everyone enjoys these pro-
grams very much.
We have had quite a few visitors
at school lately and we hope that
they and many more will return again
in the hear future.
Among the ten thousand teachers
at the State Teachers’ Institute at
Sail Antonio were the following from
the Gap: Mr. and Mrs. Homer Bron-
stad, Mr. and Mrs. Ira Dahl, and
Mrs. Harris. '
We have had several pupils out of
school on account of illness but we
are very glad to see them at school
again. M.G.F.

- SPORTS
After losing to Walnut Springs
by a score of 14-6 the week before in a
poorly played game, the Lions came
back Thanksgiving day in a mighty
effort to “take” Meridian.
It seemed that Lady Luck deserted
us lads from the Gap, for we were de-
feated as a direct result of two eighty
yard runs. Burch returned a punt in
the second quarter for the first Me-
ridian touchdown. At that point they
took a lead of 7-6. In the third quar-
ter Rickard, who was bottled up most
of the day, reached high in the air to
intercept Miller’s pass and ran eighty
yards for their second touchdown,
making the score 13-6.
However the trailing Lions came
back with that fury which is so char-
acteristic of Cranfills Gap teams.
Miller passed nicely to McFadden,
Christenson and Broyles for substan-
tial gains .When we neared “pay dirt”
McFadden raced around his own left
end behind a perfect screen of inter-
ference to place the oval near the
goal line. From this point Captain
Pederson plunged over for the second
Gap touchdown. The attempt at con-
version failed and that was the story
for he day. The game ended with the
score still 13-12.
On Friday of this week the Lions
close their season in a game with the
vaunted Morgan team, which will be
played on the local field.
The basket ball girls have been
playing some good ball, although they
still lack confidence in their shooting.
With some more drill of this nature,
they should be ready for some heavy
competition.
The Live Oak Outsiders gave them
a good game last Tuesday night with
a score of 11-13. The girls plan to
play them again Thursday night of
this week on our court. On Friday
night the girls have a game with
Morgan on our local court. J.D.C.
Selling tickets to Europe is so
popular in the United States that not
only tourist agents sell them, but al-
so banks, hotels, florists, nurserymen,
grocers, college professors, students,
railroad agents, insurance and real
estate brokers.

EDITORIAL
We think good sportsmanship is
one of the greatest essentials that a
person can obtain. When a person
can win and not boast of himself too
much and can smile when he loses—
is a good sport. Good sportsmanship
is necessary in schools, in business
and in anything you undertake to do.
If you .are a good sport you are
bound to succeed.

generally 20 to 60 feet high, the
trunk often three feet in diameter,
