Our basketball boys lost to
Gate City high school last Fri
day and Saturday in a double
game, the score of the first
game being 1879 and of the
second 1910. Although the d.
M. H. S. boys put up a hard
tight they were handicapped
oy the high goals OF Gate City
and the heavier ana more ex-
perienced team Of their oppon-
ents. However, it is hoped that
IT Gate City gives US a return
game on our own court, our
boys will show them some real
basketball.
John Meade, English teacher,
spent the weekend at his home
near Gate City. He is coach
OF the basketball team and &C
companied the boys on their
TRIP to Gate City to play the
team Of that place.
The high school orchestra,
under the supervision of E. C.
Smith, is progressing, accord
ing to latest reports. The boys
are learning their C-D-Es very
rapidly and they will probably
make their debut Easter.
Rev. Bowden, who is holding
revival meeting at the Bap-
list church, gave a splendid
talk to the high school students
in the chapel exercises Tuesday
morning, the subject Of his
talk being with Both Hands,
Diligently" We were very glad
to have Rev. Bowden with us
and hope that he will give us
many more of his helpful and
inspiring talks during his stay
n ClintWood.
The seniors are "up in the
air. They sent out the order
for their rings and pins the
other morning. And they should
oe proud because they decided
on this particular ring without
the usual quarreling and fight
ing that characterizes a BUSH
ness meeting of any senior
class. We will tell you more
about the rings when we get
them in.
The agriculture class will be
awarded their F. F. V. pins in
chapel Tuesday morning. These
pins are won only by hard la
Dor, both mental and physical,
and to the boys who get them,
we extend our heartiest con-
gratulations.
From the grave and thought
full look on the faces of some
Of the seniors, they are either
n love or are beginning to be,
ieve that they have too much
education, which as everyone
KNOWS is a sophmore affliction.
Generalization sometimes leads
to suicide, so don't be surpris-
ed if you hear of a suicide or
TWO in the senior class. But it
may be that they are only star
gazing and moonshining, which
according to a mountain philos-
opher, won't kill nobody"
Fred Powers, author of that
dandy poem, "The Complexities
of Love-" that appeared in the
Herald sometime ago, is, ac-
cording to latest reports, pre-
pairing another along similar
lines. And by the way, speak
ing of poets makes us think of
ace of aces, wise-cracking, gum
chewing poet of the junior class
who delivered, verbatim, one of
his latest creations to bunch
If the dignified seniors the
other morning, who listened
to him in mortified amazement.
deeming it unseemly that their
ears should be sullied by such.
1t was somewhat as follows:
Big fleas have lesser fleas
Upon their backs to bite EN-,
And little fleas have lesser fleas
And so on-adfinitum.
Someone has been protesting
against our having jokes in
The school column, but we, the
naughty studies of old D. M. H.
s., firmly believe in that age
old maxim that
A little nonsense now and then
A little horse-play On the side
Is relished by the best of men
Who really lived before they
died.
