Football Banquet for the Champs
Although it may see INTO be a

everyone know about the lovely
banquet which was given in hon
or of our Golden Panthers, Coach
Tanner and their guests on Deem

the leadership of Mr.. Clarence
Johnson.
How beautifully decorated was
the cafeteria and the Christmas
spirit was maintained along with
that good ole football spirit.
POSTMASTER Thomas j. Reed our
big center opened the gala affair
with forceful toast to the Gold
Ell Panthers. After this most APP
propriate beginning, every one
sang Jingle Bells Then the
speeches followed Captain Robert
Dow, a sophomore who had sit

the Christmas spirit.
Coach Tanner and Prof. Alex

very proud of the type Of good
craftsmanship, which the team
had demonstrated this year and
advised them to continue to do so.
The eating of the food which was
so well prepared held, of course,
an important place on the program.
After this part the Panthers and
their guests came over to the audi

artiscically as a football field, and

PAINTERS

of Alexander school, Brookhaven.
The 8th Grade News

All the children in the 9th grade
class seem to have had a very good
Christmas and Happy New Year,
they are all back to school for
work in this year of 1915, and we
think we will continue our good
work as we did the year Of 1914.
Before the holidays and after
we have had quite a number of
friends, classmates and visitors on
our campus visiting our school,
some of them were Pvt. James Will
liams, lie Robert Markham, Cpl.
John L. Crosby, Pvt. Elidge Rob
inson.
We can't forget this because we
have some of our fine girls star
ing in this big event of the sea-
son. The Alexander school will
play their first basketball game
in Yazo City. January II. We are
almost sure that it will be a good
game and that we will be on that
good side. you know the winning
side of it.
Oh how can we forget this per-
son, Mrs. Thelma Sutton Wilson
Elliott, one of our former students,
who visited the campus during the
holidays, every one was gald to
have her because she was one Of
our we'll known students.
Freshman Chatter
Well all the cats and chicks are
back in school and it seems they
all had a fine time during the
holidays.
We believe that the boys get to-
gether and decide what each one
will give his girl friend and every
girl gets the same thing.
Since we have been back we
have notice there have been a
great deal of changes made. John
L. Brooks should find out that
he can't so with a girl and not
even give her agreeing. The par
ticular girl is Hazel Diggs.
Tram P. Alexander had better
cool down and stop blowing her
top because Thangs Amt what
they used to be.
Mable Boyd got quite a few
present. We wonder which she
cherishes most.
Odessie Robinson is strictly or

know she took him away from Al

Policy On Re-
Employment OF
Returning Vets

sponsibility to provide its former
civilian personnel, returning as vet
Grams, the maximum possible as
sistance in finding unemployment
in the department, the Honorable
Henry L. Samson, Secretary of
War, announced today, in orders re-
stating and clarifying the depart
ment's unemployment policy.
The following is the text of the
War Departments Order on the
Unemployment of Returning Vet
GRAMS" 1t is being issued to all
agencies Of the War Department
employing civilians.
l. Existing statutes granting re-
employment rights TO persons serv-
ing in the Armed Forces or Mer-
chant Marine place a clear legal
obligation on the previous employ
ed under prescribed conditions to
restore such veterans to their CIV
ilian positions.
2. In his letter of February 16,
1914, the president directed that
these unemployment rights be
scrupulously observed with consi-
entious vigor and without procras-
tination, to the end that the Federal
Government as a nemployer set an
exemplary pattern for private en-
terprise in this respect.
3. Supplementing the statutory
and presidential directives, War
Department policy has been enun-
ciated to be that of extending maxi
mum possible assistance to the re-
turning veteran. It is my desire
that the application of this policy
in all Der Department installations
be generously interpreted in favor
of the veteran. Under no circum-
stances should supervisors resort 10
fine shadings or exceptions so as to
defeat this clear purpose. Any rea-
sonable doubt is to be resolved ir
favor of the returning veteran.
While the War Department cannot
go beyond legally pre- scribed linn
its in extending benefits to return
ing veterans, no effort should be
spared in adhering to the cardinal
principle of the War Department
policy of extending maximum pos
sible assistance.
4. The War Department has fur
ther established the basic principle
that the primary responsibility for
unemployment of a veteran rests
with the. commanding officer of the
installation in which the veteran
was employed prior to entering the
Armed Forces or Merchant Marine.
Where deactivation of the installa-
ton or fundamental change in mis-
sion makes unemployment in the
last employing installation an actual
impossibility, it will be the respon-
sibility Of higher echelons to insure
that the Departments reemploy-
ment responsibility is fully dis
charged within the machinery pres
emily established or subsequently
created. In order to expedite such
cases, and to effect the veterans
placement with as little personal
dislocation as is possible, the Direc-
tor of Civilian Personnel and Train
ing, is authorized and directed to
develop, in collaboration with the
headquarters of the major compon-
ents of this department, such pro-
cedures and organizations as may
be required
