Dut there is not enough space allowed
IN which to reallyYdo justice to Mrs
Brown, who trained one group, and
Misses Sims and Heuser who drilled
the other, and to the amateur Thes-
pians themselves. The cast for "The
Fatal Message" was: Pauline Golden
burg. Elvynne Alberson. Lillian
Leath and Mildred Shaffer; Louis
Stovall, Orville. Hussey, Charles
Mann and Ed Fussel. Those who
participated in Sally Lunn" were:
lheda Tisdel, Hazel Mayes, Dorothy
Cass, Margaret Spiller. Dugas Frazer,
Herbert Gaskin, John Toomer Lilies.
In the first play &9rville Hussey
made hit with Charlie Taliaferro's
tull dress rig out and Ed RUSSELL car
RED the heavy part of the play. From
the view point of spectator we
should give Theda Tisdel and Hazel
Mayes hrst honors as stellar lights"
IN the second play while John Toom-
er Lilies brought down the house sew
eral times with his splendid comedy
work.
What was by no means a second
airy attraction was the work of the
choir during the intermission between
the two plays. Mrs. Brown had them
working just right. The only thing
needed to make that part of the show
perfect was artistic use of grease
paint, which must say was almost to-
tally absent But it was splendid
performance all through and we hope
to have another one before the end of
the term.

Prof Stringer said Friday morning
that we could all do something to
make the high school work better.
BY that he meant more than merely
doing our best on our lessons. We
can and will do many things to bet
ter the school; if we are given some
thing specific to work on.
Mrs. Howe has volunteered to train
the entrants for the spelling contest.
Prof. Strlnger and Supt Ricketson
will work for the debaters. The
training for the defamation and read
ing will be almost entirely in the
hands of Mrs. Thurmond and-~Mrs.
Livingston. The music contest will
have TO be prepared for outside the
school Everyone on the faculty will
have to lrelp get up the exhibit for the
school and we should make it good
one.
From now on warning bell will
be hand-rung one minute before the
period is up. That arouses fond rec
objections of the time when our cleo
trio clock system was working and
five-minute warning bell was rung.
That electric clock system cost a neat
sum to install and every single day
it stands unused, and it has stood so
Tor nigh onto two years, it depreciates
little bit more But it should be
liked, but it isn't being fixed and no
one seems to know why not. Why?
The Senior Class will absorb among
other parallel reading 1--WE Are Sew
en-" In reality they will average
about II although for. the most part
they act like they were 70Land think
they have as much sense.

Batting practice is under way. The
baseball team expects to sell num-
Der of season tickets and have lump
sum to begin operations on, to buy
suits. bats, balls, transportation and
umpires. The team ought to be self
supporting and should clear some mo-
1ey on the season because the gate
receipts for baseball are always larg-
er than for basketball and the basket
ball team, though starting with a
handicap, came out less than FIVE dol
-
lars behind. Let's back them up with
heart and cash.
Our heroes of track and field are
now resplendent in their golden
sweaters. They are all so proud of
them that we might even say that
