SCHOOL NEWS
Making the Most of Opportunity
Perhaps the most valuable privi-
lege American children have is that
of attending well organized schools.
They are under the guidance of
teachers who have the knowledge and
experience necessary for training our
youth for a profitable and happy fu-
ture. Therefore, we should learn to
appreciate the advantages we have
and make the most of the opportuni-
ties which are ours.
The best way to do this is to learn
good study habits. We should see that
we have a regular time and place for
home study and that nothing inter-
feres with it. But before this profit-
able habit can be cultivated, we must
be sure that our attitude is right.
As we go through this school year,
let’s develop attitudes of kindness
and respect for the advice and guid-
ance of those whose mission it is to
help prepare us for a worthy future.
We live this life only once, so let’s
live it now in such a way that we can
in later years look back upon our
school days without any regrets.—
DEO.
Know Your School Library
Wednesday afternoon, during the
last period of the day, the high school
students met in the study hall and
Mr. Kruse, our superintendent, told
us some interesting and unknown
facts about our library.
Some important facts that he
pointed out were: We should be more
careful in the way we treat our
school’s property, that we should read
for educational purposes as well as
for pastime, and that we have in our
library the best of current periodicals
and four of the most thorough school
reference sets to be had.
We intend to have a monthly meet-
ing similar to this one throughout the
entire school year. We students feel
that it will be very helpful to all of

110 TRIPPERS HOME FROM LARGE
DAY AT CLIFTON FAIR
FARM LAND PRICES
SHOW SHARP UPTREND
The Better Jewelers
WEATHERFORD, Texas, Oct. 26.
—There has been a stiff advance in
price of farm and ranch lands in this
area in the past year, reports show.
Good grass land has been in especially
strong demand. Increasing land values
it is believed, are due chiefly to high
prices dairy products and beef cattle.
Dairy cows are bringing better
prices than for years, with many
sales reported at from $60 to $100 per
head; good milkers bringing even
above the latter figure. All available
cows are being pressed into dairy
herds and cows and heifers are being
shipped in from East Texas and
Louisiana. Pastures are in better con-
dition than in years at this season.
The Juniors, in behalf of the
teem they held for their sponsor, sent
Mr. and Mrs. Ira Dahl a “going
away” gift, a beautiful blue chenille
bedspread.
The Juniors, in their attempt to
raise funds Tor their candidates for
Queen and King, are selling chances
at a sixty-five pound eye which is
going to be given away Halloween
night. The chances are twenty-five
cents each and everyone is urged to
cry his luck.
The sophomores are happy to have
Helen Brown back with them again.
Helen had been absent from school
for several weeks.
The freshman science class reports
that they are very well pleased with
their new teacher, Mr. Ruben Neie.
In general, though, the class feels
that they are the most unfortunate in
the whole school. It seems that all
student withdrawals so far this year
have been from their ranks, and on
top of all that it was they who lost
their home-room teacher when Mr.
Dahl left. They hope for better luck
next year.
The eighth grade students have
gotten back alt of their test papers
and most of tlfem are satisfied with
them. They are glad at this time to
welcome Merril Moore to their class.
The sixth and seventh grades are
proud of the guitar racks, which Mr.
Stanley made during the last week-
end.
The seventh grade’s duke and
duchess for the Hallowe’en Carnival
are Muriel Mae Knudson and Der-
wood Johnson. The sixth grade’s rep-
resentatives are Oliver James Jenson
and Nelda Joy Swenson.
Folks, don’t forget that on Friday
night of this week we will have our
big annual Halowe’en celebration
Come and meet old friends and neigh-
Chat and laugh with them and
get the stimulating feel of that “good
old Hallowe’en Spirit.” We promise
to take away your troubles and cares
and give you a bit of the best fun that
you have had since last year’s carni-
val. A good program with lots of
music will be the main feature on
the list of the evening’s entertain-
ment The climax will be a beautiful
coronation ceremony in which the
Carnival King and Queen will be
crowned.

By Jim M’Mullen
Fort Worth’s largest booster dele-
gation of the year returned home
Friday at 6 p.m. from Clifton where
they headed the annual parade of the
Central Texas Fair during the morn-
ing, were guests at a turkey dinner at
noon and spent the afternoon inspect-
ing the fair exhibits and mingling
along a midway jammed with carni-
val attractions.
The 110 trippers, traveling in three
special coaches attached to a regular
Santa Fe train, arrived in Clifton at
10:30 a.m. Units of the parade were
lined up in order near the station and
the line of march began immediately
after the visitors took their place.
Rev. Hayden Edwards and Charles
F. Williams, co-chairmen of the trip,
and officials of the Central Texas
Fair Association, headed the parade
on horseback. Second in line was the
Texas Wesleyan College Band.
The Fort Worth delegates, many of
whom were attired in full Western
regalia and all of whom sported Fort
Worth hatbands and walking canes,
marched directly behind the band.
Beautiful girls riding in decorated
cars, patriotic floats, the Clifton High
School and Junior College bands, and
cowboys and cowgirls on horseback
made up the rest of the parade. Miss
Doris Gene Hoel of Clifton, student at
the junior college, is queen of the fair
which ends Sunday.
Popular with Clifton residents was
the TWC band with its high-stepping,
blond drum major, Miss Frances
Brownd. W. H. Howard is the band
director.
Hulen C. Aars, secretary of the
Fair Association, welcomed the Fort
Worth group to Clifton. Others on
hand to greet the visitors were Tom
Parks, president of the association
and Bosque County Herefdrd breed-
er; J. L. Standefer, mayor; Ed Hand-
ley, parade chairman; D. C. Holver-
son, assistant secretary of the asso
ciation, and George Harris and Uncle
John Moore, ranchmen.
As usual the turkey dinner served
by the Women’s Civic Improvement
Society proved one of the highlights
of the trip. The delegates were served
all the turkey they could eat along
with dressing and all the trimmings.
Tl^Btoieal is prepared and served
annually by the society at the City
Hall. Officers of the society are Mrs.
N. W. Willett Jr., president; Mrs. W.
A. Wegner, first vice president; Mrs.
C. H. Reese, second vice president;
Mrs. Jack Tindall, secretary, and Mrs.
O. P. Pederson, treasurer.
Visitors viewed the best Hereford
cattle ever displayed at the fair. Bruce
iParks and A. E. Ficklin were In
charge of thia department and had
ready answers for the many questions
about the raising of Herefords in
Bosque County.
The sheep and goat department
also boasted a big increase over last
year. There were more animals and
Edwin Bekkelund, superintendent,
said that there was a big improve-
ment in quality.
Fancywork exhibits, displaying the
skill and art of Bosque County women
were also on display.
L, E. Tennison, superintendent of
the poultry show, stated that more
than 350 birds were on exhibition.
The Fort Worth delegates, during
a 15-minute morning stop in Cle-
burne, paraded through the business
district of that city. The train was
met by a group of 25 Cleburne busi-
ness men, headed by Herman Brown,
manager of the Chamber of Com-
merce.
The trip, both ways, proved a lively
affair." The TWC band made frequent
serenading trips through the coaches.
There were spasmodic sing-songs
with Dr. Haywood Davis serving as
the song leader for most of them.
Mrs. Haywood Davis and Mrs. Ed
Walsh both of whom made the train
trip, were named as band chaperons
shortly after the train left Fort
Worth.
It was on the trip home that the
TWC band made its biggest hit. At-
tached to the train were two coaches
filled with selectees en route from
Fort Sam Houston at San Antonio to
Fort Riley, Kan. The band played a
