dressing, giblet gravy, pineapple
salad, hot rolls, butter. Iced tea
and strawberry whirl ice cream.
The tables were covered with white
paper and the F. F. A. and F. H.

shaped like the F. F. A. Emblem.

his second year here. Dale started
hi* school career in Amarillo, Tex-
as,'and was there until he moved to
Dumas in the 9th grade. He spent
tfro years there and then moved
to Claude when he became a Jun-
ior ip high school. Dale has acted
as (if he has been here all his life
and the students accepted him as
If they had known him aways. He
was chosen faVorlte of his Jr. Class
the first year he was here. This
year he is president of the Senior
Class. This past year Dale went
out for football and won a letter
award. This made him a member
of the "C" Club. He is also a mem

chicken supper given by Miss Ram-

After being fed such a delicious
meal, we spent the rest of the

as if some of the teachers met
their match in the game. .

fine entertainment.

PHILOSOPHY
\(D07iCAL ECDnmY i
Nothing out of the ordinary has
happened around dear old C. H. S„
but here are same of the things
we found out and thought you
should know.
These basketball girls! My good-
ness, it looks as though they will
itarvo. Mrs. Porter and Miss Ram-
py gave them a supper Monday
night that was wonderful. Reliable
sources tell us that Lorene ale
only fifteen pieces of chicken, but
she promises to do better next time.
It seems that C. H. S. still has
all its faithful couples. Leta Feme
and Don, Shirley and Roy, Zoleta
and Bobby Dean seem to be seeing
quite a lot of each other. The
freshmen are still going strong.
Warty and Kay, Rita and Richard.
Pat and Ralph. Margaret and Jack,
Vesta and Jimmy and several o-
tliers have been seen together.
We saw some poor boy.i down on
their hands and knees the other
day. It seems that gum and beans
were getting a little too plentiful
around here and they had been
elected to get rid of it.
Some of the girls, at least, are
doing something about the boy
shortage. Would you know anything
about It, Betsy?
Some of the girls are really get-
ting good in volleyball. They even
use «ieir head instead of their
hands to hit the ball. Would any
of you third period P. E. girls give
us instructions on how to do it?
The teachers of C. H. S. should
be very proud of their students. Ev-
eryone resisted the temptation and
came to school on April Fool's Day.
A mention of six-weeks' tests could
not have had anything to do with
it of course. Jimmy gave Norma an
awful scare on the 1st. He told
her there was a spider on her dress
and she nearly jumped out of her
skin. Imagine!
Well, there is ever so much more
to tell, but we will save a little
for next time.
Your faithfull snoopers.
Homemaking II
On Thursday night, March 27,
the 2nd year Homemaking girls
went to Amarillo to the Herring
Hotel and enjoyed a four course
meal. After their enjoyable meal
they went to the picture show. Ev-
eryone reported a wonderful time
and is ready to go back. Those who
went were Nancy Bagwell Martha
Crownover, Barbara Tolbert, Bar-
bara O'Daniel, Shirley Plumlee, Lo-
rene Whelchel, Corinnc Hess, Miss
Rampy, and Mr. and Mrs. Lee Hess
and Charlene.

Taff added that crop and which
had been given temporary protec-
tion with emergency tillage has
now begun to blow.
Regional Director Merrill said the
next 30 to 45 days may be the most
critical of the current blow season.
Only rains in sufficient quantity
to prompt the growth of grain,
grasses and other plant cover can
materially change the new bleak
picture. A single rain or showers
at this stage likely would put the
soil in a crusted, more vulnerable
condition, he said.
