and probably seeing the sunrise
for the first time, 23 home econom-
ics club delegates left for the F.
IT. T. meeting at Quail, Satur-
day morning at 6:30 o’clock.
Hair combing and other neces-
sary dressing was the theme going
down to Quail. Upon their arrival,
the girls were given a very firend-
ly welcome by the home economic
girls of Quail, who showed them
where to register. This was done
in the new cottage which their
school has for a home ec. depart-
ment. It was a four-room complete
house furnfshed by the girls.
After the registration was over,
a general assembly was called,
where Annabelle Lard of Pampa
presided. An accordion selection
was given by Mrs. Carl Cliaudoin
of Quail. The roll was then called
by calling the names of each
town and having the delegates
rise. Mlost of the towns that ’were
invited were represented.
Mr. Carl Chaudoin, superinten-
dent of Quail schools, welcomed
the girls, then introduced the hon-
ored person of the day, Miss
Josephine Pasjdral, state super-
visor of home economics, who
spoke on “the F. H. T. as a Youth
organization.” Her talk was en-
joyed by everyone.
The groups got acquainted by
singing several songs.
From 11:30 to 12:15, games
were played, with White Deer
holding the center of attraction
with their musical games.
Lunch was served to the girls
“chuck wagon” style which seem-
ed most enjoyable to everyone.
At 2:30 another general assem-
bly was called. The towns were
divided into districts, and one
school in each district was asked
to hold a meeting next spring.
White Deer and Briscoe both want-
ed the meeting for district 6, and
White Deer, after much discussion
got it.
With the group singing “Sing
Your Way Home,” the meting was
closed, aud everyone agreed that
it was very successful.

REV. ZIENTA GIVES
FAREWELL ADVICE
Have you been to Skelly school
yet ?
If you haven’t seen the new
building yet you hove certainly
missed a treat. The building has the Women’s Chorus at West Tex-
been completely remodeled and re
decorated. All the
rooms have
been painted in colors that will
afford the proper amount of light
for the pupil as well as appeal to
bis artistic taste. New lockers
have been installed in the rooms
so as to permit each pupil to have
an individual locker for his perso-
nal materials. A new ceiling has
been put in the gym which is of
great assistance in warming the
building. Also, the lights have been
raised to make more space for
playing purposes.
Rev. J. A. Zienta spoke te>
the student body in- special as-
sembly Thursday morning, Sept-
28. He was leaving the following-
day for Colorado Springs, Colo, for
an indefinite time, due to illness.
“Observing the brutality that
is going on in the world today,
We are bound to conclude that if
we don’t get back to God we wfll
find ourselves doing like the Euro-
pean nations today,” he remark-
ed, and then added, “Learn to
think for yourself that you may be
ready to become citizens of democ-
racy. ”
In concluding his talk, he said-
“If you are not religiously mind-
ed. it is going to be hard to he

In addition to the remodeled
building, the Skellytown school
has an unusually strong music de-
partment this year.
This department is under the
direction of Miss Freda Charles
Bills, and G. A. Mahlar. Mr. Mah-
lar has taken over the band work
which has been unde the direct-
ion of Marshall Gordon for the
past two years. Mr. Gordon was
a member of the Texas Tech band
and a member, of the mixed chorus.
Mr. Gordon is taking his master’s
degree in social science and has
been placed at the head of the
social science department in this
school.
Mr. Mahlar was a member of
the famous Hardin-Simmons Cow-
boy band, the Hardin-Simmons
Symphony orchestra, and just re-

The desire of the students for
safety and order has become very
noticeable in the school this year.
The pupils have elected patrol-
men for the first six weeks. Each
grade from the fourth up elects
representatives to serve in this
for the first time.
After the program the boys were
served with ice cream at the caf-
eteria.
JUS’ POPPIN’ OFF
Some of the news commentators;
are saying that history is re-
capacity. Their main function is ; peating itself. That seems to fa-
safety and order. This group is ; really truje in the White Deer
entirely responsible for conduct high school, for some of the girls,
between periods. Various members I have noticed, have gone baefer
are assigned to specific duties.
Among these duties are such du-
ties as cleanliness and order in
rest rooms, cafeteria duty, respon-
sibility of maintaining the best
‘pig tails” in their
to Wearing
hair.
I believe that Miss Everly isr
going to be our “leading’' teach-
er this year, for we have not
system to be used at water foun- missed many days since school
tains, loading of busses, and started having to write from three
various other specific duties.
The pupils of this school wel-
come such responsibility and in
like manner they respond readily
to the suggestions of the patrol.
The members of the patrol for
this period are Billy George Cle-
ments, George Dickey, Kathryn
Rose, Peggy Ann Covey, Joe Thur-
low, Etta Lou Barrett, Jackie

that many “lead” clippings from

Swiss steak, Italian spaghetti,
French fried potatoes, etc., “boy,

cafeteria, but its dangerous get-
ting foreign foods, in America, for
Americans that eat them are liable
too much fighting energy from
