one was caught actually announcing

THE IDEAL BOY
A majority of the people have sim-
ilar ideals. The really ideal boy is sel-
dom found. There are many who al-
most measure up to the ideal, and
there is the mediocre group. Here is
the general idea of the ideal boy:
First, he’s a grand sport in every-
thing concerned. In victory or defeat
he comes out with a smile. He is in-
terested in sports, and is, perhaps, a
.good athlete. If not the best, he is not
the jealous type, envious of his su-
perior.
One likes to see a boy who enjoys
life, sees pleasure wherever he goes
(and he goes to the right places), and
contributes to' the happiness of those
around him. He is intelligent, clever,
and witty. But this does not mean that
all his time is spent for pleasure; he
must consider the more serious prob-
lems of life. He is a respecter of old
people, his parents, and all adults.
He is an active partisan in the affairs
of his community. He clings to his
moral ideals, and is a lover of God.
A boy scornful of religion is a boy
to be scorned.
Listed with the things a boy must
do are the things he mustn’t do. The
ideal boy does not drink, smoke, gam-
ble or curse. He does not associate
With, immoral people. His compan-
-won third place in the grammar
school Essay Writing Contest. Glenn
Knudson qualified in discus to go to
the State by winning fourth place.
Glenn was somewhat handicapped in
throwing the shot and discus because
lie pitched a game of baseball at Me-
ridian the afternoon before, which
stiffened his arm so that he could not
do nearly so well as he did at the
District. Dorothy Baldridge lost hei
tennis set to a Sherman girl who won
the girls’ singles, making this hei
th’rd year to go to State. She should
have beaten the girl but she didn’t
vilay but about 70 per cent as well a-
did at the District. Just another j
one of those off days, but why pick
that day to be off! Oh, well, we have
another year. It’ll have to be made
up for.
The choral club which will sing at
tjie Baccalaureate exercises is doing
well under the capable direction of
Mrs. J. M. Bettis and Mrs. W. D.
Raley. They should make a good
showing that day.
They’re having a time finding out
who is the valedictorian and saluta-
torian of the High School. The con-
test is between Johnie Polk and Bur-
rell Helton. They’ll get them, but
which gets which I don’t know.
Mr. Pierson is going to give the
tennis folks a barbecue up at his
home next Wednesday. One of us had
to win at the District to get this bar-
becue. We fooled him and did.
Quite a few of the pupils partici-
pated in the singing and parading at
the park last Saturday during the bar-
becue that Clifton had on
—f When you pay the price of a Knee-
' llasM""2* Action car, you naturally want
genuine Knee-Action and all that goes with it. You
want the new gliding ride at its smoothest, safest,
and best. You want simple, foolproof, and trouble-
proof construction—the huskiest, sturdiest front-
end you can buy. And, of course, you want shock-
proof steering—it is the natural companion of the
gliding ride. You pay for these things, and you
want them all—but you can get them, in the low
price field, only from Chevrolet. The reason is
simple. Fully-enclosed Knee-Action wheels are
costly to build—so costly that only Chevrolet,
world's largest builder of ears, can afford to make
the necessary huge investment in new machinery
—and still keep prices among the lotvest of the low.
Onlv Chevrolet has the resources and the assured
volume of sales that permit this extra production
cost. Chevrolet does it because Chevrolet believes
that, to KEEP ON SELLING THE MOST
CARS, YOU MUST KEEP ON BUILDING
THE BEST. And judging from the popularity
of the 1934 car, America agrees with Chevrolet.
