LOCAL LIONS At
MEET TALK OVER
SCHOOL MATTERS
various Phases OF school system
Discussed Following Report
Of Board President on
Recent Probe Held

StressIng the importance OF school
work as laid down In the course
OF study. general discussion OF
school conditions here formed an
important part of the Lions club
meeting yesterday at noon at the
Iilks club rooms.
The discussion was brought on
when u. II. Barefoot. president of
tho Chlckasha Board of Education.
In short talk outlined the efforts
made by the board to probe to the
bottom the charges made that the
Chickasha high school had played in
eligible men on the football team
last year and the result Of the ap,
pearance OF board members before
the board of control of the athletic
association of the state Saturday in
Oklahoma City. when the control
board stood firm in its decision TO
suspend Chickasha for one year.
Mr.. Barefoot declared that j., the
decision OF the Chickasha board to
probe the ineligible charges to the
bottom, was reached at an executive
meeting of the board. which none OF
the teachers or school officials at
tended. and that the findings Of tho
board as published were unanimous.
Free discussion of school topics
resulted and number of Lions, who
were not associated in any way with
the schools expressed their senti.
ments on various phases. O. l.. Bing-
ham declared that in his opinion,
the practice Of allowing the student,
in many cases to select certain num-
Der of subjects. was a bad practice
for the reason that some of the stu
dents would be inclined to choose
the subjects that were the easiest
for him.
NJ. e. Humphrey criticized the
practice Of allowing too many holi-
days. He brought out in effect that
the school was for the instruction of
the students in the course OF study
as laid down and that too often, the
athletics in the school played too
important a part. He pointed out
that, in his opinion, the students
we're allowed too many holidays TO
attend the athletic events.
In the discussion that followed,
it was brought out that the rules
of the state athletic association
made it imperative that the athletic
contests be played on Fridays and
that, while it was true that the
schools were accustomed to close at
an earlier hour on the Fridays when
football games were scheduled here,
the students made up the time by
their class work during
the regular recreation periods.
While no official action was taken
by the club, the sentiment or the
personal opinions as expressed, was
in the main, favorable to the action
of the school board in probing the
ineligible charges.
The subject of street fairs, carni'
walls and fakirs, was taken up and ON
motion the president was authorized
to appoint committee, to act with
general committee composed of
one member from every organization
of the city, such as the Rotary club,
the American Legion, the Chamber
of Commerce, the Merchants asso-
citation. This general committee, 1t
is planned, will draft an ordinance
governing the presence of carnvals,
street fairs, fakirs in the city, which
ordinance is then to be presented
to the city council for action.

PARTY AT BUSENBARKS

S. A. Busenbark gave party
Thursday evening at his home east
of town at which about twenty peo-
pie assembled, including his son-in-
law and daughter Mr.. and Mrs. Han
sen of Pocatello.
Mr.. Busenbark supplied popcorn,
candy, nuts and other refreshments
and pieces of music besides his new
Sonora and they had a jolly good
time up till about O'Clock in the
morning.
Mr.. Busenbark is a good enter
tainer of the old fashioned jolly sort.
He started in by passing the chew
ing gum around and as soon as they
got their teeth into that, he came
in with a big painful of nuts and
joked about getting the chewing
gum ahead of the nuts so he could
save on nuts, but they fooled the old
boy on that, finding various places
to stick up their chewing gum until
they cleaned the pan of nuts, pop
corn, candy and other things, but
Mr.. Busenbark cut big swath when
he was buying and he supplied them
with a bounteous lot of refresh
ments. They all declared that they
had a great time.
