HELP THE CAUSE!
We’re saving-up wrappers to
get one of these!
Yes, Miss Wittlif and every ice-
cream eater in school is saving
■wrappers from ice cream bars to
get a radio for the cafeteria. Only
a measly 8,000 wrappers are need-
■«* ed to get the radio, and practi-
cally everyone has been eating a
double portion of ice cream every
day to help to reach the goal so
that they may listen to music soft
and sweet during the noon hour.
If anyone has any wild flowers,
tame flowers, or a mixture of
both, please be so kind as to bring
them to Miss Wittlif; she needs
them for beautifying the cafeter-
ia.
“KEEP OFF THE GRASS’1
Why can’t we have a neat
school building and beautiful
lawn? This has been a question
asked probably hundreds of tinj.es
by the students of our school; The
answer is “We can have both of
LARGE NUMBER ATTEND
HOME EC. MEETING
Happy days will soon be here j
again!
Yes sir, high school mates, just |
six more weeks of getting up ear-
ly to .catch a bus or walk down
the shady lanes to school.
Are we happy about it? I say
we are.' Soon the day will come
when there will be plenty of time
to eat, sleep, and be merry. For
three whole months, most of us
will be carefree.
But how about the seniors? Un-
less they ])lan to enter college _ or
take up some kind of training,
these carefree days will go on
forever.
Most of the seniors however,
plan to go on educating themsel-
ves for the future.
Doris Staats plan's to enter
nurse’s training at the St. Anth-
ony hospital in Amarillo, June 15.
Mildred Burrell is going- to Texas
A. and I. at Kingsville in Septem-
ber. Billie Moon wants to go to
San, Jacinto Beauty School , which
is located in Amarillo. If her
plans work out she is to enter
June 10. Juanita Colgrove is hop-
ing she will get to enter the North
Texas State Teachers College at
Denton in October. Lorene Pike
wants to enter the beauty school
in Ft. Worth June 10.

seniors read the Buck’s Tale Ap-

SENIORS MAKE PLANS
“Women are as stubborn as
mules” is an old saying that wo-
men usually object to, but Satur-
day this Avas really true. Thirteen
toAvns, eVery toA\rn in district 6,
Avas present at the district meet-
ing- in White Deer, in spite of the
fog, snoAv, sleet, rain and slippery
pavements Avhich existed.
About 134 girls registered Avho
Avere given identification tags
with their names, the towns they
Avere from, and the picture of a
deer on them. They were also giv-
en programs.
All the girls assembled in the
auditorium at 10 o’clock, for a
meeting with Josephine PoAvers,
White Deer, presiding. The roll
call was called by Mildred Hag-
gerty, White Deer. As the names
of the toAvns Avere read all the
representatives Avould stand and
one member would give the num-
ber present. Of course this did
not include White Deer.
“Try to be the women you
would like for your mother to
be,” stated George A. Heath, su-
perintendent of the White Deer
schools, in his welcoming speech.
Josie Lee Barnett, Higgins,
gave the response.
After the response a very in-
teresting- amateur hour Avas held.

and to make certain preparations
for the commencement exercises
that Avill be seven Aveeks from last
Monday night. The purpose of the
play Avill be to provide funds for
functions' to be carried out by the
seniors in the remaining part of
this year.

Another problem concerning
appearance of our building is the
habit of some of the students of
throwing candy . and gum wrap-

and on the school grounds. This
practice makes much more Avork
