Everybody's Business
Hark! Don't you hear the Tiger
growing? Well, she has heard so
much and seen so much and some
one has told her so much until
she can't publish all of it. She is
just wondering what would hap
pen if more news than gossip
would come to her for publication.
Listen Eva Hart, the Tiger heard
some one say that you were getting
to be mighty fast. Is it because
your are running with Ella Wat
son?
Ruth Wallace we understand that
you and Alexander Hickman are
really building a stairway to the
stars. Is this really true?
Bessie Ford is receiving plenty
of air mail specials from Pvt.
Charles R. Sheriff. Could it mean
that wedding bells will be ringing
soon?
The Tiger wonders did Marion
Jackson really say that Albersteen
Tilman is the only star that shines
in his blue heaven.
Some one told the Tiger that
Bessie Willis said that Samuel Cole
is her all day study and her mid
night dream. Well, little lady you
better start studying and dreaming
about something else if you don't
want to end up at Whitfield
Somebody heard a loud laugh
that sounded very ridiculous Tues
day, as some of the Jim Hill stu
dents were going to the cafeteria.
You can just bet it was Ella Wat
son for one. Guess she thought nc
one saw her.
Can anyone tell the Tiger just
what would happen if Samuel
Bingham would stop walking
around in the room calling people
by their nickname?
Well, sif Wallie J. Foggy would
stop acting loud in class and stop
trying to boss maybe someone
would pattern after him.
Eighth grade section three would
be almost a perfect class if Louise
Lundy would act intelligent some
times. Well, Louise we are sorry
to learn that you never act intelli-
gent but you really have pal in
Ella Watson.
The Tiger notices that Florida
Morris, Gladys Robinson and Jua-
nita Haygood have made marked
Improvement in their department
and seem to be acting very much
like ideal girls. Girls we wonder
if you three can't influence Ella
Watson and Louise Sunday to make
some improvement before it is toe
late.
Dorothy Chrisler is very down
hearted since her friend left for
California. We hope he will re-
turn soon. So cheer up Dorothy.
Edward Banks did you get angry
because your and Bessie Lee Eator
names were nthe Tiger. Well
sorry you are not like Peter Smith
He wants his name in it ever,
| week.
What would happen if Peter
would stop running at Delorise'
What would happen if Carolyn
Emma, and Maxine would atteu-
to their business, if Willie would
stop waiting for Jennie every day

ORR OFFICE FLOODED WITH
BUSINESS

TO the Presidents: We wish to say
that during the December Quarter we
had more official communications than
any other quarter during the year.
Our correspondence for this quar-
tter has been extremely heavy We
have had to write many letters for
personal official business, as you ex-
planned to us and we explained to you
that you had to live with your people
We h ave had to make our new
office copies and reports for the be-
ginning of the new year. We have
been busily engaged on our report for
t h e Insurance Department Of t h e
state.
The unusual flowing of mail during
the Xmas holidays has put heavy tax
alton on the office. AS you know, we
cannot get extra help during these
times. We have had to work day and
might on number of instances. Very
seldom have we been able to close our
loffice d ring the last thirty days
earlier than six, seven and seven
thirty O'Clock at night. We have
hardly had time to stop for our noon
hour.
The large number of policies that
was taken in by the General President
during the Board will be gotten to
you in the next few days.
The H. B. A. office force hopes that
you had Merry Xmas and that you
now enter into the New Year with
cheer and happiness.
