JONS CLUB IN j
ANNUAL BANQUET
GOVEI
Thursday evening; as the hands of
dock approached 7 there were
ethered in the “shack” on the Bap-
church lawn about 100 Lions,
Itheir ladles and a number of other
Iguesta. The occasion was the annual
■ banquet night for the Lion** ladies,
lone that has grown to be full of
I such Jollity and the spirit of good
I fellowship that from year to year
loach one who is so privileged eager-
| ly awaits the time for another even-
spent together over the banquet
fhoard.
When everyone had found places
I Lion Sherwood, who is music di
rector for the club, requested the
I singing of one of the club songs.
Thanks were returned by Rev. Ki-
ker. During the meal members of
the Little Symphony Orchestra fur-
| niahed .a nusaber of selections.
With Lion''President Boggs pre-
siding, short business session was
[soon under way. Because of lack of
'time the roll eras not called, but
| Secretary "Red" Sheppard was ask-
I to rood the minutes for the meet-
on Tuesday, December 17. Few
members of the club escaped the
fury of hla wiley pen, and several
i^tutea were taken to restore order
in the house. The minutes were,
filer sapie effort, approved, and
then introduction of the honor
guests of the evening was in order.
President Boggs presented Msyor
Just is, Secretary W. Jtf. Evens, Dr.
Iliam F. Wright, Mr. end Mrs.
in Sturgeon, Earl Basis no and
way Lawrence, all of Paris. May-
Let Juati* ■then introduced to the
f club members the Paris Lions
f Club Trio, who are John Sturgeon,
Earl Bataano and Dewey Lawrenre.
They have made for thtmtelve* and
Paris a reputation for high class en-
tertainment, having won in the re-
cent radio contest conducted by
Station WFAA in Dallas.
Every one was delighted to htve
our former County Agent Evans,
who is now secretary of the Paris
Chamber of Commerce, back among
them and he, in very few words, ex-
pressed his pleasure in returning to
his old home agsin.
The program for the evening was
arranged by a committee compos*)
Of Fred Storey, chairman, and Lions
Sherwood and Sheppard. Mr. Storey
first presented the trio in singing a
number of popular hits. They fairly
'brought the house down as was evi-
denced by rounds of applause they
received. After promising to sing
again if allowed a short while to
they were seated and then Mr.
Storey asked Lion Payne to intro-
duce Dr. Wright, pastor of the First
ptist church in Paris, who was the
in speaker for the evening.
Dr. Wright is one of the most in-
leresting and forceful speakers who
is ever visited the Lions club and
r more than made good his w-pu\a-
on at this time in s talk that was
itarspersed with much humor and
1st enough seriousness. He said
let Lion Storey had given him a
bject which he changed for one
his own, entitled, “Building a
jr.” Among the thoughts he
ught out was the necessity of ex-
ding some good old-fashioned
tk and he quoted Thomas A. Kdi-
, who said that 98 percent of his
ievements had come as a result
hard work, while only 2 percent
from genius. Cooperation, he
was another indispensable
MU. Every one should work to-
*r, throwing aside preconceived
on* and magnifying the things
hold together. Lunch clubs aid
spirit of cooperation. Much faith
ust be evidenced, in fact three
of faith are needed. They are
'aith in God. faith in one another,
d faith in ourselves. In closing he
mphatically declared that we could
hat we wanted if we just
nted it bad enough, and appro-
lately quoted the little poem on
ubting Thomas.”
trio then favored the club
tertalnlng ones ever presented on a
like oreaalon.
President Boggs extended the
club's thanks to the Little Sym-
phony Orchestra for their contribu-
tions to the enjoyment of all and to'
the Baptist ladies far the lovely din-
ner. At the suggestion of Lion Sher-
wood he also thanked “Red" Shep-
pard ftft his club minute*. The ben-
ediction was pronounced by Lion
Evans and brought to a close anoth-
er plt^aant gathering of the club.
The room and table decorations,
as well as favors, hinted the ap-
proaching Yuletlde season, and the
menu further carried out the red
and green scheme. Following is the

To the American of this age, the
phrase “the greatest of it* kind in

thing especially anything American,
is enough to attract his attention and

American Public Free School hr the

today, both from the standpoint, of
dollars Involved and from H e stand-
point of numbers. It is an invest-
ment In which every Inhabitant of
this great country, young or old,
rich or poor, has a share. No in-
vestor in a large corporation would
fail to be interested in »ve*,|thing
pertaining to that organization. He
would be interested in knowing its
methods of carrying on business, ID.
objectives, and the profit to be de-
rived from hi* investment. More-
over he would be interested to the(
extent that he would be willing to
lend his best efforts to make the or-
ganization more efficient and the
profit greater.
No American citizen could use
good business Judgment and fail to
be vitally interested in everything
pertaining to the Public School. It
makes itself felt in every corner
this country. It touches evJry home,
every individual and ever! purse.
Upon it our greatnesa and power as
a nation is founded. Upon it our
hope for the future rests. For these'
reasons every man and woman ia this
country and especially In this com-
munity should acquaint themselves
with the purposes, and working of the
school and be. ready to lend every ef-
fort in making the system more ef-
ficient. * >”
Because we believe the people of
this community are vitally interested
in their investment in the Public
Schools of Sulphur Springs, and be-
cause we believe they could co-
operate more intelligently if they
were better and more accurately in-
formed concerning the school, we are
going to take advantage of tha
columns of this paper to write a let-
ter of general information concern,
ing the High School, each week. Wa
need your active interest and cm
operation, and believe that this may
be accomplished if you are thorough-
ly informed a* to the HOW and
WHY of our school life. ,
