SENIORS LEAD THE
HONOR SOCIETY
—«<’
Twelve seniors, three juniors,
and two postgraduates make up
the members of the National Hon-
or Society in White Deer High
School.
There are 35 members in the
Senior Class, 45 members in the
junior class and 5 post graduates.
Why does the percentage of mem-
bers decrease so ripidly from the
post graduates to the juniors.
Characters in one basic elem-
ent. of the society; scholarship,
leadership, (and service are the
other three. These elements are
judged in students by the admin-
istrators before they are admitted
into the society. After they are
admitted they pledge themstlves
to uphold the high purpose of the
society to which they have been
elected, striving in every way by
word and deed, to make its ideals
the ideals of their school.
Membership in this society is
desired by all students, but only
those which are outstanding in
their character, scholarship, lead-
ership, and service are given
membership.
With proper personal training
and environment the high ambi-
tions of many students may be re-
alized if onlv these traits in their
life are cultivated.

Selections from Henry Wade- Alex Gray, a junior of White
worth Longfellow _ are 'being stud- Deer°° ’ '** JNIUFkv
Future Vocation Well In
Mind for Alex Gray
ied by the English III classes.
Those selections already studied
are, “A Psalm of Life”, a poem
of reality and actions, and has
been called the very heartbeat of
the American conscience; “Hx-
celsior, ” a poem in which Long-
fellow said that his aim was to
display, in a series of lectures,
the life of a man of genius, re-
sisting all temptation, laying a-
side all fears, heedless of all
warnings, and pressing right on
to accomplish his purpose; and
“The Building of the Ship,” a
poem in which the first three hun-
dred and seventy-six line describe
the building of a ship, and this
passage, using the ship as a sym-
bol, describes the founding of the
union.
Some other well liked poems
from Longfellow are; “Day-
break,” “Nature,” “The Song
of Hiawatha,” and a sonnet the
“Divina Comme-dia.”
Agriculture Boys Preparing
for September Show
Bill Moore would let the kids
skate on the tennis court? Last
Wednesday night after a weiner
roast about 10 of our high school
students were skating on the
eoui*t and Bill suddenly jumped
out of the dark and seared them
all so badly that they went to
Pam pa and skated.
There were windows in the cur-
tains in the gym ? Joe New, thinks
it would be much more fun to go
to school then.
The teachers approved of jaw
breaker fad? Everyone it seems
at school these days have the larg-
est jaws you ever seen!
So many of the hand bovs
didn’t have to work. Why har’dly
any of them can attend rehear-
sals, {
Junior Guerrv could remember |
some of them plays during foot- j
ball practice? Is it the girls, the
eanicTv, or just you, Junior?
Melvin, Joe and T-Bone could
have as much fun every week end
as they did last week end? They
camped out near the Canadian
river and lived just like Huckle-
berry Finn, out in the raw-did
thev have fun? Gosh. Yes!
Lowell Potter would onlv quit
day dreaming of Dorris B. and
bee’in studying once again?
Doris Staats would1 decide which
shp likes better, Jack or R. D.?
High school students that have
lockers in grade school were al-
lowed to eat their lunches in
grade school instead of back to
high school to eat their meal?
While in the library one didn’t
hear lessons in English I and II,
over the curtains?
The Senior Class could only
make some money so that they
wouldn’t have to he so worried
about their Carlsbad trip?
The Junior Class would decide
about giving the Junior-Senior
Banquet so the seniors could be-
gin planning?
Some of the agriculture boys
have already started making pre-
parations for the fat stock show
which will be held in Amarillo
in September, Lowell Potter will
be showing ten pigs; Arnold Doss,
eight; and Everist Bednorz ten.
Several other boys will also par-
ticipate iu the showing.
JUST TRY TO KEEP IT QUIET
The senior ring Janet Smith
has recently 'been wearing has
stirred up much curiosity around
school and the initials F. C. G.
in the ring has been investigated.
Nobody knows him, Janet!
Doesn’t James Gores have more
luck? Saturday evening while
skating he fell and almost broke
his wrist. Iiis doctor informed
him that the fall only helped' to
heal the wrist which he had brok-
en during football season.
Virgil Moore decided that he
didn’t like competition on the
skating rink so he just rented the
rink for an entire evening in or-
der that he might have it all to
himself.
talking above all other things, he
admitted that he didn’t like to
walk with the girls to the grade
school as he just couldn’t get a
word in the conversation.
It seems that Rex Russell has
made it a habbit to preserve the
brains of all rabbits, dogs, and
eats he catches. Let’s hope he
doesn’t catch this reporter and!
preserve its brain.
PET WORDS of the FACULTY
Every individual has some word
or phrase that he uses over and
over until such words become a
habbit. Our faculty is no except-
ion to that rule.
The following are only a few
pet words or phrases from stud-
ents observation.;
Mrs. Weaks—All right;
Mr. McCullum—0. K. and all
right;
Miss Martin—For instance;
iMf. Drummond—We hope, and
I think;
Miss Everly—Well, I never;
Miss Howell—For instance; __
Miss Holley—Let’s be quiet.
Miss Deal—1 A hit dog always
howls;
2. I’m going to turn you
over my knee and spank you, and
3. —Agony.
Mr. Hill—-When you dance you
have to pay the fiddler.
Mr. Cain—Let’s be quiet, kids.
I don’t like competition.
QUESTION BOX
to boast that because of his hobby
and chosen vocation he has won
several medals and has also made
extra money as a result.
When Alex was still a small
child he was very interested in
livestock. His father, knowing of
his interest decided to. make his
son proud by presenting him with
a very young calf. This calf was
given to him in 1937. He devoted
most of his time to caring for the
calf. With this splendid care of
the animal, his stock increased
Alex has been awarded the
“Thomas E. Wilson Award” for
Hutchinson County 4H livestock
champion in 1938, and the“Gold
Star” pin in 1939, and has won
numerous ribbons on his live-
stock.
For two years he has taken his
stock to the Fat Stock Show in
Amarillo. In 1938 he took 18th
place of the Senior Class division
and in 1939 he took 10th place in
the same division.
Besides being the boy who has
the longest distance to go to
school, he has to spend a great
deal of time each morning and
evening feeding Lis stock with
mixed ration.
Alex admits that animal hus-
bandry is his chief talent. He
likes the work and wants to make
better progress in it. W ith the ex-
perience of his father and grand-
father he is well guided.
After the completion of high
school he plans to attend Texas
A. and M.. While in college he
plans to major in Animal Hus-
bandry.

STUDY OF GRAMMAR
F. F. A. ATTENDS
LUBBOCK MEETING
Three teams from the local F.
F. A. will go to Lubbock for an
area I contest this week.
The livestock team is composed
of Clifton Williams, Chester Kirk-
wood, and Bob Martin; the shop
team of Kenneth Huey, James
Jett, Bill Phillips, and Joe New;
Poultry team of Jack Pareher,
After the study of grammar for
th0 first six weeks in the second
semester, the English IV class
did not show signs of knowing
much about it.
The class studied nouns, pro-
nouns, and verbs, their case form
and use in the sentence.
The students will continue this
study through the second six
weeks or until some signs of im-
provement are shown.
The English II class has also
i been studying the same form of
j grammar but they also failed to
get a thorough knowledge of it.
They will continue their study of
the nouns pronouns, and verbs
through the second six weeks.
English is the most essential
thing- in high school and more stu-
dents fail to master it than any
other subject. This one subject
causes more failures in college,
and cheats more people out of
jobs than any other subject
taught in high school.

CAMPUS CUTUPS
Why is that everyone enjoys
eating candy in library? Could it
be that candy taste better while
one is disobeying rules?
The driver of bus no. 11 should
appreciate all the students who
read funny papers on the wiay to
school because it doesn’t cause
quiet so much disturbance.
Everyone gets so excited' when
the beil rings. Could it be that
they’ve never heard (it before?
Suiely not.
Wouldn’t it be swell if all the
students of W. H. D. S. h a d
watches so those who h a v e,
wouldn’t have to tell the others
how long it is until the bell rings.
The bleacher seats are very con-
venient to those who wish to
spoon between periods and at
noon. Aren’t they Dorris?
There’s nothing- like riding a-
round in the rain in a ford with
no top. How do you like it Dor-
othy ?
Pee Wee, can’t you type if you
don’t hold your mouth just so?
. We sometimes wonder.
Do you think school has been
progressive better than was ex-
ment ?
peeted with this new arrange-
Yes, I Do. At least I thought it
w-ould be a complete mess and
was I suprised when I found out
how well it did work,
as w’e were in the other building
Yes, I think we are doing as Avell
I like it better myself.
Virgil Moore
Ruth Eakin
Yes, I think the school is pro-
gressing just as much, as if we
were in the other building, and it
is getting along much better than
w'e expected.. A few- things could
be improved.
Bill Hawkins
Yes, I think school is progres-
sing just about the same. I be-
lieve there are a lot of things that
could be improved. But wTe still
have time. I myself don’t believe
anyone has lost any time by our
moving.
Doris Staats
Yes, I think school is progres-
sing just the same but there is
too much noise.

What would you think of some
girl w7ho votes for her self?
(Ernestine Skaggs was nominated
to be president of the Methodist
Girls Study Club Thursday and

Were you introduced to Mr.

Who was it that fell through
the wall in history class the sec-
