TOFR|DAY'S GAME
Play Cary Here; Coach
Powell Not Satisfied
With Fridays Showing

Coming out of their game with Roa-
noke Rapids with only few slight in
juries, high school Bulldogs got down
to their drills this afternoon, prepar-
ing for their contest here Friday with
a strong Cary high school eleven.
Coach Hank Powell was not salts
fled with the showing his charges
made against a stronger Yellow Jacket
team as they dropped a 27-O decision
lats Friday. thought they should
have put up better fight, even a
gainst a heavier team.
This week, he will be trying to iron
out many of the kinks that were
twisted into the team in that game,
improving the Offense as well as
strengthening the defense.
A ray of hope was seen in the way
that Kearney broke through the line
time and time again to down Jacket
backs for loses. Bill Scoggins was up
to his same high standard of play,
netting several nine gains around the
flanks.

POOR SCHOLASTIC RECORDS
FOR FIRST QUARTER

The second quarter, which ended
Friday November shows very poor
level of scholastic accomplishment.
made the Honor Roll" for the first
quarter i. e. whose average was
above 90 on all subjects. Naturally
we are glad for those pupils whose
scholastic standing was high enough
for the "honor rating, but the num-
Der of pupils who have failed on one
or more subjects is appallingly high.
The records for the first quarter
demonstrate very forcibiy that the
pupils of Henderson high school are
not as a whole taking their school
work seriously. Too many pupils are
not applying themselves to the tasks
and assignments of the school day.
This is especially noticeably among
the members of the senior class.
The home room hist of failures
shows vividly that the pupils of Hend
erson high school must awake to the
fact that they have work to do and
lessons to be learned. Many pupils
are now in grave danger of "flunking'
On tn eyear's work and hits can be
avoided only by a complete change III
attitude on the part of many pupils.
174-Pupils have failed on at least
one subject and many of them have
ia led on two, three and even four
subjects Our actual school member
ship is now 800 pupils. Divide TIA
failures by 800 and we have forty
five persent of our pupils failing on
at least one course. This 81 almost
ihaf of our pupils who are failing on
a part of the years work
1t is high time that these pupils are
getting to work. A puphc school Is
not place for loafers. 1t is not fair
to the taxpayers to spend their money
to let boys and girls come to school
to loaf and piddle away the hours OF
golden opportunity that the school
offers them to prepare for life OF
service to this community. Hender-
son high school has no place for
loafers and we do not want our school
to get such a name. May l appeal to
each pupil to put forth every effort
to remove these SIS and 6's that now
hang over you? 1t is your duty to
yourself, your parents to those who
pay the taxes and to your commun-
ity.

FOR PARENTS ONLY

This complex life of ours may we'll
he compared to wild and stormy
sea full of high and baffeting waves
We, of the high school age are pre-
paring to enter this sea of life and
our present status is that of a river
which flows, sometimes smoothly at
other times swiftly, throwing us
against huge rocks dashing US down
waterfalls on t o the sea of life. This
habitat of ours the river which leads
to the sea of life, is but miniature
of the great sea which we wild short
ly survice or perish. The small gales
that now blow us off our course the
rocks which momentarily bob up, are
typical of the real life issues that will
soon be our problems.
Let's stop for moment and hon
estly ask ourselves this question
What are we doing in our everyday
life that will help us to meet the
test of life? Why can't we look be
yond the mere grades and see that
every test passed, every lesson learn
ed in and out off text books but fits
MS for our task of tomorrow that of
being worthwhile citizen? We
must learn to master our task, stand
our test put our shoulders to the
wheel accomplish our daily work and
the future is ours.
But what are these daily tasks?
Are they merely confined to our text
books? No and if they were we would
soon become mere pedants with q
one sided out look on life. But we
should want more of life than this.
We want our lives to be well round
ed and they must he if we can hope
for any future. There is a lesson in
our every contact if we could only
.earn; in fact there is a lesson in
every failure which spurs us on to a
greater success. Let's enter into the
extra curricular activities accept a.
sponsibility learn to live with other
people and see their side, but at the
same time keep up with every days
work Woe unto those of us who are
content to "cr!bb" our way and stay
so near the reef that our craft will be
capsized by even a breeze This is a
challenge to everyone's ability.
To be educated is to be so well
rounded that you can meet unafraid
not only the test of school but the
test of life and come out the victor
or if not tn evictor the wiser. The
task before Us now is to learn how

BY Hospital Doctors

One child is dead and an-
other is in serious condition
in the Montgomery County

believed to have been an over.
dose of a patent medicine.
The dead child is Edward Mob
ley, three, son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Thomas Mobley, of Woodfield,
Nd, He d. died at the hospital
Tuesday night after having been
taken to the place by Montgom"

Doctors said the cause of death
was an overdose of the medicine.

The child's six-year-old sister,
Alice, was taken to the hospital

symptoms.
The children's father raises
worm weed commercially and sells
it to a distillery in the neighbor-

A doctor was summoned to the
family home last Tuesday and
found the little boy unconscious
and his sister violently i'll.
