FATHERS DAY.
BY Mary Claybourne.

BY Mary Claybourne.
Are fathers as highly honored as
mothers?
They re the substantial bread
winners.
Their homes and families opear
well of them.
Fathers keep being on time for
your dinners.
But credit goes where its due.
Of-course fathers work from sun
to sun,
Couldn't they be a little m e
considerable.
Is mothers tasks ever really done.
A good father said: Il was
happiest
When my girl and six rough boys,
Wallowed all over me lying on the
floor,
Where | shared with them our
joys" ),
All day long mothers takes them
to her heart;
Kisses away their many flowing
tears;
Leads and guides them heaven
wards;
Her love and kindness shields
them from fears.
Although mothers are as busy as
queen bees.
Children often say cause mother
said so"
Especially, if you teach always
to obey,
And honor to both parents will
naturally go.

Spanish Class
Entertained By
TruVeI Talk

The students of the first period
Spanish II class were hOnored on
Friday, February 8th, with a short
talk by Mrs. August Faix, who has
recently returned from a boat trir
to the northern coast of South
America.
Mrs. Faix began by telling OF
her pleasant voyage on the Grace
Lines luxury liner Santa Paula.
Then, with the aid of illustrative
materials, she described vividly
her impressions of the country of
Venezuela. Due to the short period
of time allotted to Mrs. Faix she
was unable to describe her similar
trip through Colombia.
This talk was of great interest
to the students who have Just read
stories dealing with these two
countries. OF special interest was
the frequent mention made by Mrs.
Faix of the name of Simon Bolivar,
the great LiberatOr of South
America.
1t is hoped that Mrs. Faix may
be able to return later to give a
similar travel-talk to the students
of the other Spanish classes.

is a hearty, energetic, and aggres-

person in the world. To the busy

Among other things. this salesman
is an actor, a modern escape art
