My First Day at School
as a Freshman
BY Thelma Batter

1t was cold frosty morning in
September, when | entered the front
dodor of the Oakley Rural High
School. AS soon as | stepped
through the door | lost all sense OF
direction, which made me feel very
stupid.
AS / looked around at the stu
dents whose faces were unfamiliar !
felt myself becoming smaller and
smaller. Then crowd of Senior
girls came around the corner laugh
ing and talking. ! noticed they
were arrayed in beautiful dresses
and their hair was done in a very
elaborate style. This made me look
at my Bingham apron (Which was
starched very stiff and put my
hand questioningly to my hair which
was braided in tight pig tail fash
ion.
While stood wondering what to
do, one of my class mates came up
to me and asked me if l had regis
tered. | Immediately answered that
had not. She told me to go into
the room at my left and there |
would find the teacher who would
register me.
On entering the room there were
many to be registered before me. AS

in the other side of the room who
were looking at me and laughing. AS

their merriment.

subject. The prizes are large and

ITEMS OF THE SCHOOL

The student body has adopted a
rev push-on song. 1t is a poppy
song with inspiring words and a live
ly tune. The probable reason that
the students took such liking to
this lyric is tina il was first presen-
ted to the body by the Faculty Glee
Club. This new and interesting in
stitution consists of Mr.. Mercer, Mr..
Palmer and Mr.. Nelson as songsters
and Mrs. Schiferl as pianist. (Mr.
Briscoe seemed bashful and refused
to raise his voice in sublime melo-
dy.) The students were delighted
with the new selection and as Mr..
Mercer was unselfish enough to
teach them the words, they Joined
in the singing with a good will.
The song itself goes:
Then hit the line for Oakley,
For Oakley wins today.
We will show the sons of Albion
That the red and white can stay.

THE HONOR SOCIETY
BY Mabel MiIIlard

There has been a method intro
duced to the student body by which
the A students may be rewarded
This is to be called the Honor Socie-
~ and to be treated as the elect orr
aanigation OF the school.
A student in order to become a
member of this society has to have
an average of eighty-five per cent in
ali grades for two years, and must
not have below eighty per cent in
any subject. There will be no adj
mittance for students having more
than three unexcused absences or
tardy marks.
The maximum number of mem
bers cannot exceed fifteen. and these
will be chosen as the ones having
the highest average. These students,
in order TO be worthy of member
ship, must prove their popularity in
engaging in at least one school &C
tivity and making success. This
eliminates the proyerbial book
worm.
Sophomores may become pledgers
to this organization at the end of
the third quarter. This gives them
time and opportunity to make
mark for themselves before joining
the society.
Pledges of Juniors and Seniors
given at the end of the first quarter,
and their initiation is held at the
end of every semester.
The members of this chosen
group will he distinguished from the
rest of the student body by pin
or button, and at their graduation
an honor mark will be placed upon
their diplomas and special mention
will be made of their achievements.
Many students are looking de-
spairingly at their low grades OBJ
tanned in past years, and old Crouch
es are being renewed against former
hard-hearted instructors.

PROGRAM

The students enjoyed an interest
ing program Monday. Ray Critch-
field gave good talk on school spir-
It. The students showed splendid
sportsmanship Friday in attending
the game in the driving rain. He
tlinksk the school spirit is fine, and
our taskn ow is to keep up this
spirit.
Teresa Smith and Thelma Butler
gave song. Dora Steel read a
school paper, Nile Matthews sang,
and Edna Garrison gave a reading.
Mr.. Parks, the football coach,
seems pleased with the bays play
ing and the students yelling in the
Twin Falls game Friday, and has
great hopes for the future. He said
that If we were all behind the team
az much as Professor Mercer we
would certainly go long way in
football. He ended his speech by
suggesting that we give cheer for
the main man of the team, Mr. Mer-
Ger.
The students heartily agreed with
everything Mr.. Parks said, and the
cheer was sincerely given.

Tw in Falls Beats
Oakley High in a
Hard Fought Battle

The game scheduled for last Fri
day created more local interest than
any grid-iron skirmish for mum
Der of years past. Neither our local
boys nor the visiting team had been
defeated. thus causing the odds to
be about equally balanced. When
the last shot was fired the score
stood IL to Z.
Whether the weather man is
against football no one can say. 1t
might be that Oakley's team, plow-
ing through one muddy field, was
thought by kind Providence to be
now confirmed mud-ducks, capable
of pulling one earth-besmeared and
heavy-iaden foot after the other.
During this downpour. Plastinos'
squad, accompanied by the school
band and several cars filled with
rooters arrived in our city.
The game was called at three
O'Clock, even though the elements
and their opponents advanced the
oval to the thirty yard line. At the
second down, Critchfield intercepted
pass and bolted headlong for Oak
he would surely reach the last white
line, however within Just a few feet
of scoring, down Ray came with a
wearer of the T about his legs. The
O's were now filled with hope and
little nervous it seemed. for the
first down they were penalized five
yards for being off side. 1t was here
that the quarterback called for a !
place kick which failed to strike the |
space between the two posts.
Efforts of the white and blue to /
gain through the red and white line
proved futile to a great extent. con-
sequently most of their yardage
came from passes and exchanges OF
punts. The town boys offered
fierce offensive throughout. but
were repeatedly penalized for an in
fraction of the rules, so the referee
said at least.
At the sound of the gun ending
the first quarter, neither team had L

game would follow directly in the
