CUPID AND HER LOVE ARROWS
Dear Cupid:
Whom shall I go with to the Jun-
ior-Senior banquet?
Inquisitive.
Why not take me ? I’d like to go.
Dear Cupid:
Please tell me if my darling sweet-
heart is true to me and how long' will
it be before he asks me to marry
him.
Anxious Nell.
Yes, he loves you but there are
several that don’t.

HIGH SCHOOL FAVORITES
Among the many students in the
senior class we pick out one favorite
whom everyone likes. He is liked by
all high school. Of course, he is
handsome or why would he have been
selected from the senior class as their
candidate for the popularity contest?
The boy is a member of the L club
and is taking four courses this year.

I saw Betty and Mary Kathryn
a man reading some news the other dey.
WThere did you get it Betty, from
Bub?
This morning I awoke early and be-
gan dreading that I have to go to
school for seven more long weeks.
When I arrived at school I saw sev-
eral girls standing in the hall dis-
cussing some new gossip that has
Dere Kuped:
I kan’t spel. I yam . not smart.
Kan U help me?

Sory, I kan’t ither.
Yowzah, boys and little gals, it’s

Someone whispered in my ear that
our own J. R. K. is receiving letters
from some mysterious miss in the
fair city of Temple. Now who in
the world is it now?

Grandma seems to be all perturb-
ed because a certain boy (C. C.)
whom she says (braggingly) that
she has been with one boy as much
as five times a week and he has only
asked her for three dates this week.
Now ain’t that sumpin!
Ellen May says she has never said
or done aoything in her life to be
ashamed of. Now Fish Face, where
is your self respect?
I got this info from Irees Hig in
person so if there’s any jumping on
to be “did,” let her be the victim.
She says she is through with Big
Chile Preach forever and three
days. (Quote) “He has did me wrong
and I ain’t been with him fer over
three weeks, so I am now open for
further business.” Now is your
chance boys.
Gettum G., the he-man Tallifferr-
oite, has left school. Who in the
world is going to carry O-pal’s books
now ?
Well I guess it has been “did”
again. Tom Childers seems to be j
courting Jessie Hag of late. Look j
out Tom, buckshot stings.
Guess I’d better hop along, get j
along, jump along, scram now so ,
don’t forget, next week comes the j
biggest surprise of the year, did I say

(By Beedy and Bones)
Several students of Lampasas high
school attended the district meet last
Friday and Saturday and those parti-
cipating in the events found competi-
tion very strong.
Lyda Moore, who won the county
singles championship in tennis for
girls, won second in the district meet
by some brilliant playing. Kathryn
Gartman and Margaret Wooten who
won the doubles county championship
for girls, were defeated by the Aus-
tin girls.
John Hart and Earl Lindsey were
eliminated by Taylor in the boy’s
doubles. These two presented an un-
usual sight playing the tall boys, be-
cause they are so low in stature.
The only trackmen sent to the dis-
trict meet were Robert Martin and
Ellis Bullion. Robert really surpris-
ed the people by jumping five feet,
eleven inches in the high jump but
Conradt of Lometa attained the
height of six feet, breaking the dis-
trict record. Ellis Bullion placed in
the 100 yard dash and also ran in
the 220 yard dash.
In the literary events Annette Rob-
erts and Mary Frances Casbeer were
eliminated by Taylor high school in
the girl’s debating division. Allen
Hill and James R. Key, the boy de-
baters were defeated by Smithville.
Nadine Jones, the representative
of Lampasas county in extemporane-
ous speaking, tied for third place,
with an excellent speech.
Billie Bean won fourth place in
the girls’ declamation.
Lei and Priest, the boy declaimer,.
won fifth place with his speech,,
“Fighting Your Pack.”
Next year Lampasas high school
expects to have a brilliant array of
speakers and a strong track team to
represent Lampasas county in the
district meet.

AROUND THE SCHOOL
(Dedicated to Eva Virginia Harris)
She’s got a frat pin from dear old
Texas
She’s got a Brady high school ring,

She corresponds with a boy at Aus-

She has the ring of a boy at Luling
An R. C. A. agent has her in a whirl
She’s got a sweetheart in every high
school
She’s just a Lampus Badger girl.
HAVE YOU MET
We gave speeches in English class
for our exams, but I managed to
stutter through my speech better than
I thought I would.
Wednesday.—April 12.
This morning Mr. Rowntree found
another note in study hall, but this
time it was Dorothy Delie’s. At noon
many got a shock—but not that way.
The boys in school must have some
way to shock the girls. Tonight I
went to church and heard a handsome
boy sing a solo. He was none other
than Elwood Dunklin.

SOPHOMORES ENJOY PICNIC
AT SPARK’S CROSSING
Twenty sophomores and guests en-
joyed the class picnic at Spark’s
Crossing Friday night, April 7.
All met at the school house at 7:30
and went to Spark’s Crossing. Ev-
eryone amused himself as he pleas-
ed wandering in the moonlight, look-
ing at the moon through field glasses,
singing popular songs and listening to
guitar music by Lowell Carpenter,
former student.
A picnic supper was served at 9:30.
Some girls are easy to fall in love
and some are the type that never
fall. Jessie Standard seems to be the
kind that never falls. She says that
she gets tired of one boy in a few
hours or a few days at the most. I
wonder how long the present flame
will last.
The Lampasas high football team
has been materially improved since
the arrival of the Cowan brothers.
We wish them a hearty welcome to
our school and would like to see them
doing active service on the 1933 Bad-
ger team.
Speaking of football our captain,,
T. J. Childers, has a handsome little
brother. He looks just like T. J. aqd
has many of his ways. Kermit has
a way with the women which is ir-
resistible. Maybe we had better take
some lessons from him.
I wonder (don’t we all) why Flor-
ine Allen has been sending out a
SOS for stamps? Is he all that im-
portant? Anyone with extra stamps
please give them to the young lady
mentioned above.
What has happened to Norman
Heine lately? He seems so much,
friendlier and pleasant. Who is she
Norman?
Some columnists snoop around to-
get scandal but I don’t. It is brought
to me by the little birdies. They just
sent me a flash that M. K. W. is back
in circulation again. Is that right,
Mary ?
