SEVEN STUDENTS COM-
PLETE SEAL BOOKS
JUNIOR PIERIAN CLUB MEETS
“Character Building” was the sub-
ject of the lesson led by Christine
Davis at the meeting of the Junior
Pierian ' club, Tuesday afternoon, at
the home of Nelda Perry. Christine
and her assistants, Nelda Perry and
Marie Boswell, discussed the follow-
ing points as “Character Builders:”
Chivalry, fair play, self-mastery, op-
timism, honesty and ambition. Ac-
cording to the members of the club
this was the most interesting lesson
that has ever been given.
During the business session a com-
mittee composed of Lurline Creek-
more, Mary Kathryn Walker, Kath-
ryn Harkey, Ellen Mae Bailey and
Christine Davis was appointed to plan
a Christmas party.
The club adjourned to meet with
Mrs. Boswell Tuesday, Dec. 20, and
refreshments were served.
Seven seventh grade students have
completed reading their thirty seal
books which entitle them to a dip-
loma. The state sends a list of about
sixty selected books each year, and
the pupil must read thirty of these
in order to receive a diploma. Two
students, Lucile Bell and Jack Smith-
wick, have already received their dip-
lomas and applications for the dip-
lomas for the following students have
been sent in: Jordan Wolf, Kenneth
Brown, Howell Gaddy, Cieola O’Neal
and Roy Sewell.
THE FENCE
INDIANS!
Did you hear the beat of those
tom-toms ? Grammar school and a
number of the high school students
were entertained Wednesday in the
school auditorium by Ted Powell,
Lecturer, and his Indians, Red Buffalo,
Scalp Woman, his wife, Red Pepper,
his son, and his brother.
Mr. Powell showed knives, toma-
hawks, beads, moccasins, dresses,
vests, blankets, ruts, baskets, combs
made of porcupine, gloves, and many
other things which the Indian uses
to the large group assembled to hear
the program.
Love songs, religious songs and
war dances were presented by the
Indians.
During one of my long snoops in
S. H. I saw Faye Holiday reading
“The Age of Innocence.”
I wonder if Lloyd Cockrell is as
interested in Lurline Creekmore as
she is in him. If he is-.
Evelyn Walker certainly is inter-
ested in The Alley Cat. I wonder
why? Does it have anything to do
with her ideal man-tall, blonde and
blue-eyed ?
I noticed “Get ’um” Ash and “Orse”
Williams deeply engrossed in their
respectives, Friday morning in chap-
el. They even changed seats.
Several boys missed part of school
Tuesday due to a certain meeting in
town. Don’t tell me the boys have
been doing anything wrong.
“Greetings, everybody. This is
your New York correspondent, Wal-
ter Winchell,” are the words Mr.
Rowntree should have used when he
gave everyone the “Dope” in chapel
last Friday morning.
Why all the sly glances and the
guarded conversations, Daniel Arthur
Bird? Do they have any connections
with the cute new girl, Helen Jack-
son? Rumors are around that they
do.
Greetings, Johnny. Now I’ll have
plenty of scandal to give the readers
noAv that you are back.
“Isn’t he cute?” Just who did you
mean by that? Tell us, Billie. Some-
one said that it was Lewis Jackson.
It seems that Garwood Burns has
recently acquired a new flame. Don’t
worry, Haggard, ole kid. I won’t tell.

a season with the Badgers. These
boys can be worked into a speedy
team and may give a good scrap for
the eounty championship if every one
stays eligible after mid-term.
The first game of this season was
played at Clayrock last Thursday, on
an outdoor coui’t which the Badgers
are not used to. The score was 26-23
in favor of Clayrock.
Orville Rush was high point man
for the Badgers, scoring 7 points,
Burns Avas next with 5 points.
The starting line-up for the Bad-
gers was as follows: Rush, center;
Burns, forAvard; Priest, forward;
BroAvn, guard; Sewell, guard. At the
half the second team was run in and
the lead which the first team had
run up was soon diminished.

SPLENDOR OF GOD
By Honore Willsie Morrow; A Book
Review, by Florine Allen.
Just thinking of this book brings to
mind Adventure and Romance, with
capital letters. It is the story of
twenty dramatic, thrilling years fill-
ed with color and action. The story
of Adoniram Judson and his delicately
beautiful young wife, Ann, and their
life as the first Baptist missionaries
in Burma—Burma, where “foreign
devils” with western ideas and their
queer story of Jesus Christ were
promised persecution, torture and
death.
Honore Willsie Morrow has por-
trayed the life of a living character
NOTICE
She’s tall and blonde and green-
eyed—and incidentally, senior class
treasurer and secretary, yell leader
of ’32, and typist for the Badger.
Guess who ? How about an intro-
duction to Kathryn (Morg to you)
Morgan, in person.
The lady in question has an odd
weakness for raw oysters, ferris . .
wheels and black “chevy” roadsters m a vlvldIy named countl'y-
but abhors carrots, conceited people
and bridge.
Sing “Pink Elephants” to her, dance
and swim with her, give her “chawk-
lit kisses” and she’s your pal for
better or worse.
Counting her four best friends off
on her fingers, she says, “Chris Da-
vis, Billy Bean, Lois Dooley of San
Antonio and Elizabeth Garrett of
Temple are the real stuff—true blue.”
Kat believes in loyalty to L. H. S.
in every way.
To be a “sob-sister” on a big news-
paper, and incidentally, to become the
favored lady of a certain brunette
are her pet dreams. What ho! Do
we blame her? No!
TEACHERS GET NEW BOOKS
WE’RE CRAZY OVER HORSES
Did you say horses? Well, you
should have seen the perfect repre-
sentation of a horse by “Tubby” Tit-
tle at noon Wednesday. J. V. Ham-
mett was the i*ider as they galloped
down the hall. The reason? Oh! All
I know is that there is a new girl in
school and “Tubby” and J. V. both
think she is attractive. “Tubby”
seemed to be giving J. V. some ra-
ther hard jolts. Now, figure it out
for yourself.
Twelve neAv books arrived Monday
morning, Nov. 28, to help the teach-
ers. Each teacher has a book for
each subject he teaches. These books
are: “Games for the Playground,
Home, School and Gymnasium,”
“Diagnostic and Remedial Teaching,”
“Teaching the Elementary Curricu-
lum,” “Assembly and Auditorium Ac-
tivities,” “School Clubs,” “Directing
Learning in High School,” “Directing
Learning in Elementary School,”
“Modern Methods of Teaching Arith-
metic,” “A Handbook of Stunts,”
“Teaching Procedures,” “How to
Teach English,” and “The Improve-
ment of the Assignment.”
HAVE YOU MET THE
JACKSON TRIO?
Maurine, Mary Helen and Lewis
Jackson entered school here this week.
They have been attending school in
Austin and Rockwall, Texas this year
also.
Maurine is not too small, a brunett
and a sophomore.
Lewis is dark and handsome and a
junior.
Last and least, Mary Helen is dark
and “muy bonita.” She is classified
as a senior.
We’re glad you’re with us, Jack-
sons!
All children who wish to write let-

Lampasas High School
December 24, 1932
Dear Santa Claus:
Santy dear, just because I am a
junior in high school my daddy tried
to tell me there wasn’t any Santa
Claus. Now I ask you is that good
teaching for a little girl like me?
All I want for Christmas is a doll,
a doll bed, a little washing -machine,
a little cabinet and piano for my doll.
I also heard my little friend, Susie
Bird say that all she wants is Robert
Martin. So Santy dear please be good
to her and make Lenna Bell quit
making eyes at him in study hall.
I must close with love,
Kittie W. Word.

their guests. Preceeding the tea a
program directed by Miss Mamie

PARIS, Dec. 10.—The question
whether France will make the $19,-
261,000 war debt interest payment
to the United States due next Thurs-
day reached the stage of parliament-
ary consideration Friday, with Pre-
mier Edouard Herriot clearly indi-
cating he desired to find some for-
mula of payment which parliament
would approve.
The divergent viewpoints the pre-
mier must succeed in reconciling were
exemplified in votes taken by the
finance and foreign affairs committees
of the chamber of deputies.
The foreign affairs committee vot-
ed, 21 to 3, in favor of making the
payment, on condition the American
congress agree to an international
conference to liquidate the entire debt
problem. The finance committee vot-
ed 26 to 5, against any unconditional
paymnt. The door was left open*
however, for compromise.
The second American note refusing
suspension of the payment due
Thursday was received Friday. In
official quarters it was said the note
contained constructive suggestions
which would be studied by the gov-
ernment and by parliament.
“The American reply contains the
possibility of an agreement,” one
official said.
It was generally conceded, howev-
er, that pending the meeting of the
chamber of deputies Monday, any
prediction of the final French atti-
tude was guesswork, although opin-
ion seemed to be swinging toward
payment.
Before the senate committees on
foreign affairs and finance M. Her-
riot advocated that the Thursday pay-
ment be made with reservations.
