CITY OFFICERS NOMINATED
At a meeting held at the City Hall
on last Friday evening for the pur-
pose of nominating candidates for
city offices to succeed Mayor Ed Hand-
ley and Aldermen Jack Tucker and J.
H. Rachuig, and also a city marshal,
the following were unanimously elect-
e: Ed Handley to succeed himself as
Mayor; J. H. Rachuig to succeed him-
self as one of the aldermen and Chris
Aar* as a successor to Jack Tucker
as alderman, Mr. Tucker refusing to
serve another term in office should he
be elected, hence a successor was
named. Henry Gray was nominated
as a candidate for City Marshal at
this meeting.
Since the holding of the mass meet-
ing, L. L. Duke has become a candi-
date for City Marshal, and his name
will be on the ticket.
The city election will be held or
next Tuesday, April 2nd.
LIONS ROAR IN CLIFTON -
The initial luncheon and meeting of
the Lions Club of Clifton was held on
Tuesday of this week at the noon hour
at the White Swan Cafe. The club was
honored by the presence of a number
of visitors from the Waco Lions Club
headed by President Dromgoole and
Secretary Mesereau who in their plea-
sant manner briefly outlined the ad-
vantages and the . good the organiza-
tion and the community might derive
from the working of the Lions Club.
Laughter and enthusiasm ran high
for a few minutes when several of the
visiting Lions staged a short fun pro-
gram which involved several of the
local members 'and occasioned very
prompt retorts of defense.
While the promotion of good fellow
ship and friendly relations among the
members and the community as
whole, is one of the primary objects
of Lionism, this is by no means all
that the club should mean to
community. In order to secure and
maintain a charter a club must state
|efinitel|y some civic enterprise which
it agrees to foster, thereby render-
ing service to the community repre
sents.
The local organization is one of the
many Lions Clubs located all over
the world, about 1,800 in all, the clubs
all having some definite program to and
follow under the direction of the in-
ternational organization.
Lions roar in Clifton on Tuesday
of each week at 12:10.

A mass meeting will be held at the
City Hall Friday evening, March 29,
at 7:80 o’clock for the purpose of
nominating fix trustees fo- t,h*» Clif-
ton Independent School District to
serve for the next two years. All who

In the Bosque county Interscholas-
tic League Meet which was held at
Morgan last week, Walnut Springs
won first place among the class B
schools. Meridian ranked second, Val-
ley Mills third, and Iredell fourth in
this division. Norse won first place
among the rural schools for the third
consecutive time ahd thus comes into
permanent possession of the silver
loving rup for this division. Lane’s
Chapel won the silver loving cup
which was offered to the winner of
the section including art appreciation,
exhibits, and choral singing. Walnut
Springs also won first place in this
section among the class B schools.
Clifton, being without competition in
her division, naturally won the chain
pionship among the class A schools.
Clifton won first places in the fl-
owing individual events in which she
was allowed to compete with the class
B schools: Junior Choral Singing,
Senior Choral Singing, Boys’ Play-
ground Ball, Girls’ Playground Ball,
Girls, Tennis Doubles, Junior Girls’
Declamation, Junior Spelling, Arith-
metic.
Mayor Ed Handley and Mr. Snell,
county agent, were with us in chapel
Tuesday morning and spoke to the
students in the interest of the move-
ment to construct a tabernacle at Tom
Pool Park, south of Clifton. The va-
rious rooms were organized for the
purpose of securing chickens as con-
the Jtributlons to the fund being raised for
the above purpose. Mr. Snell also ef-
fected a preliminary organization
among the boys in county club work,
and prospects are good for a fine club
in the Clifton schools.
Visitors, inspectors, salesmen and
others who come into -the
schools comment on the neat and or-
derly appearance of the various rooms
of the building in general. The
most recent visitor in the school com-
mented particularly on the scholastic
atmosphere noticeable in all the
rooms, and was kind enough to say
that in this respect the local school
is superior to the great majority of
schools of its size. One visitor recently
remarked: "I feel'like removing my

These remarks, coming from individ-
uals who go into schools every day,
are the source of much satisfaction
to those who know that such details
exert a favorable influence upon the
lives of growing children.
A schedule has been arranged with
the visual instruction bureau of the
University of Texas whereby the
Clifton schools will receive two mov-
ing pictures each week during the
remainder of the school term. All
showings will be in the nature of
travelogues and will be selected be-
cause of their educational value in
some particular field. Most of them
will be brief, lasting from fifteen to
t hirty minutes, and will in many cases
be used to supplement the regular
chapel programs. The public is incited
to attend these free performances.
Bosque County has cause to con-
gratulate herself on the brand of
sportsmanship displayed at the
County Meet this year. Each school
seemed to be anxious to respect the
t eelings and rights of the other mem-
ber schools, and all seemed to realize
that mere winning is not the only
thing to strive for. The schools in
this county are making an earnest
effort to see to it that only pupils whi
are eligible to sompete in the various
vents are allowed to do so, and to
thus make of the meet a valuable
supplement to the regular work of
the schools. Pupils who are taught
that they must win at all cOsts get a
distorted and exaggerated idea of the
importance of winning, and any school

We feel that something should be
said of the perseverance, the self-con-
fidence born of knowledge of ability,
of the will to win and ability to lose
gracefully, and of the splendid sports-
manship of the pupils as shown pre
ceding and during the recent County
Meet in which we won the Rural
Championship for the third consecu-
tive time. This enabled us to retain
as a trophy a laving cup which had
been circulating for five years. We
value it very highly, not for its gold
and silver composition and artistic
design, but for what it stands for. It
stands as evidence that the pupils and
patrons, together with the teachers
who preceded us, have worked faith-
fully toward a worthy end. It stands
as evidence that the pupils and pa-
trons had courage to compete, to com-
pare their work with that of others,
to fight clean and hard, win or lose. It
stands as a proof that the people of
our community appreciated the value
of the training that the children re-
ceive in League work, and that they
helped and encouraged them. It is
something that will always be pos-
sessed with justifiable pride. -
We wish to Say also that if the
pupils will fight for the worth-while
things of all life in the way that they
lave done during the County Meets
that they will undoubedly accomplish
much. The kind of sportsmanship that
they have shown will carry them on
and serve them on all occasions. The
ability to win modestly and lose
gracefully is needed in all life; and
can be developed to a large extent
in the League competition. Intencho-
lastie League work te worth the time
and effort, for it is a fine training in
citizenship.
On Wednesday evening of this week
the contestants, patrons and teachers
plan to go on an outing, a real
"weiner” roast at the beautiful Bos-
que dam. It is to be a little celebra-
tion of the event mentioned above.
Our honor roll will appear in the
next issue of this paper.
