During the summer months,
homemaking students from Sen-
ior High and Junior High School,
under the supervision of Mrs.
•Harold Thomas and Mrs. Reed
Hendi'iokson, have, .carried on a ,
summer project program. j
The objective in extending the j
program .was to further stimulate;
the girls to improve their homes >
in as many ways as possible. j
Many instructive and worth-1
while projects were carried out:
namely, meals planned, prepared,.
and served, several hundred jars;
of fruits and vegetables canned, j
attractive dressing tables made,
slip covers made from divans and i
chairs, new curtains for kitchens,
and bedrooms, wastebaskets made;
from boxes, furniture repaired i
and varnished, floors varnished,
and many dresses made. : i
In addition to individual pro-
jects. the girls participated in a;
group project during last June. In;
the Homemaking Cottage, several:
end tables and mahogany rockers, j
as well, as the cabinet in the;
foods laboratory, have I won sar.d-
j ed and refinished. Some new i
sea ! dollies and 43 pot holders were,
will I made, and the living room cur-1
tains were made over.
Those who, took the work this,'
summer and received one-half j
credit were: Fay Nell Jackson.
Tommy Lu Harper. Naomi Han-j
tia. Dorothy Brewer. Joyce Brid-;
en, Virginia Graham. Isabel! Hall.
Jackie May Stoker, Myrtle Ruth!

Rubs Self.
when they went into the audtor-
i iitui for tiie, first tinte this year,
noticed the improved appearance
I caused by the painting and other
work done during the summer,
j Both the trophies and the work
in t he auditorium are %a manifes-
tation of the feeling that Breck-
! enridge High School students of
t in' past have felt for their -school
; The tropliies were won by dozens
; of teams that our school has put
; out for the past eighteen or tvvon-
| ty sears, ami the auditorium was
] decorated svith money left by the
i class of 10-10.
The spirit manifested by these
I students is the spirit that has
i made Breckenridge High School
one of the outstanding high
: schools of the state. Not only has
our school made a remarkable rec
; oKl in extra-curricular activities
but, it has .'.built up a broad course
of study which is designed to fit
students for either college en-
trance., vocational .work, or both.
Our high school has attained
the highest; .possible rank both in
the state and in the nation. It is
a.iiy affiliated with all Texas e
leges and universities and is a
member of the Southern Associa-
tion of Secondary Schools and
Colleges, which makes the work
ol our graduates acceptable in
practically all the colleges of the
United States.

Greetings to the student body:
It: starting another school year
\\c pause to welcome our student
body -— those who are with us
for the first time, the post-gradu-
ates, and the old students. Bros-
peets loom large for a successful
year. More than five hundred
bright faces greet us each day-
each contributing something
which he or she alone can give.
Students, however small your
niche in the scheme of things,
stris'e to show your loyalitv to
your school. You may work on
the year-book, the debating club,
•or even the athletic teams, but
after all the one svho reflects
the most honor on his school and
the one ss-ho proves himself the
most, loyal, is the one sslio does
his work well day by day, fulfills i
his duties faithfully, and conducts j
himself honorably in his relations i
with his teachers and his fellow1
students.

this equipment is supplemented
by a tool room svhich has been
valued at $1,000. The shop is
svorking at full capacity of forty
students in tsvo shifts of three
hours each. Trade and industrial

this department, many times, en-
ables the boys svho take it to se-
cure gooci jobs immediately after
graduating.
First class equipment is provid-

This equipment comes under the
follosving: five lathes .svhich
range in size from I0"x-!' to 24"x

drill presses of 10" and 20", one

and the official board of strategy

svhich begins tonight at S o'clock.
With only a short period of
about five hours remaining until

and compare team against team

to the relative merits of both

By LILA LEE BAUM
In a large, percent of families
today is found that menace to
older brothers and sisters, the
baby sister. That does not mean
she has to be a baby, for it seems
that the older she gets, the
svorsc she becomes. She is con-
stantly meddling in the personal
possessions of her brother or sis-
ter, or both, and asks so many
embarrassing questions that they
svant to take her quietly behind
the garage anfl slosvly wring her
neck. Then there are the times
when big sister has callers or a
date. Little sister sits importantly
on the sofa before she comes down
and relates everything she knosvs
about her boy friends, her diary,
and those sacred notes and letters
hidden in a drasver. Or to broth-
er's best friend she recites some
of that terrible poetry he has
been writing to the new girl
around the corner:. Big sister
> ShBl.
often finds her playing in her nesv
high heels, slosvly leading them
to destruction, or trying to re-
move the veil from that expensive
hat she saved for sveeks, so it svill
not: tickle her nose when she
plays "dress-up" in it. And broth-
er svas ready to "give up" svhen
he found her using his nesv hard-
earned tennis racket for a golf
club, arid using rocks for golf
balls. On the ss'hole, she makes
life miserable for them.
Still, there svas the time when
she svas very ill. Big sister and
brother svere svorried too, and
they lay asvaKe nights vosving
that if she recovered, they would
never again treat her badly. They
brought her candy books, toys and
anything they thought she might
enjoy. Yet as soon as she was up
to her old tricks again, the fric-
tion started anew. Yes, they are
often nuisances, these little sis-
ters, but everyone loves them.
