Seminole School Notes
Actual attendance figures for
the fifth month of school ending
January 31,1930, showed an ac
tive roll of 248 pupils in school.
Many more hove enrolled since
school began, but have moved
away. The above number rep-
resents those who actually at-
tended school during the month
of January. The high school en-
rollment was 65; that for the
grades 183. Miss Zachry has 37
in the 5th and 6th grade room;
Miss Cobb has 43 in the 3rd and
4th grade room; Mrs. Geary has
36 in the 2nd and 3rd grade
room; Miss Rollins has 37 in the
7th grade; while Miss Howell has
35 in the first grade.
Beginning this week the school
has gone back to the “1 hour for
lunch” schedule which was
abandoned Thanksgiving because
of the short days. Now that the
days have become longer it has
again become possible to have an
hour for lunch, accordingly
school will be dismissed from
12:30 to 1:30 for lunch, and will
be out at 4:30 in the afternoons
as was the case before Thanks
giving.
MARRIED AT SEA-
GRAVES SUNDAY
Bud Kuykendall of Big Spring,
and Miss Carrie Allen were
married Sunday around the noon
hour at Seagraves, Rev. Dosher,
pastor of the Baptist church of
that city officiating.
Following the ceremony the
newly weds left for Big Spring,
where Mr. Kuykendall had a
newly furnished home.
Parents of both the bride and
groom are residents of this com
munity, the Allens and Kuyken-
dalls having resided west of
Seminole for a number of years.
The Seminole girls’ basket ball
team has sent out a challenge to
the Slaton team, which recently
won in the tournament at Ralls
and has since defeated Lamesa.
It is hoped this game can be ar-
ranged for Feb. 14th. Slaton
has aspirations toward a South
Plains championship. The game
ought to be a good one. Slaton
beat Lamesa 25 to 16; we beat
Lamesa 22 to 16. Neither team
has thus far lost a game this
season.
The Seminole boys will partici
pate in the Basket Ball Tourna
ment at Lamesa, Friday and Sat
urday of this week. Last year
they upset the dope by defeating
Lamesa in the second bracket of
the tournament. We expect good
news from there again this year.
Mrs. Rollins is substituting in
Miss Zachry’s place this week.
Miss Zachry was called home by
the death of a relative. She
hopes to be back in school next
week.
Miss Russell, Home Economics
teacher, has sent to Austin the
exhibit in clothing, lb, which
was taught the first semester.
Miss Russell is now giving a
course in clothing, lib. Affilia-
tion is being sought for both
courses.
Affiliation serves two purposes:
It provides the most satisfactory
method of a college entrance and
the method that is fairest to the
pupil. It also informs the pa
trons and school board concern-
ing the quality of work being
done in a school.
PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH
SERVICES SUNDAY
Wonder what has become of
the old schoolhouse water bucket
and dipper of the none too recent
but unlamented past? Those
were the “good old times.”
Sunset school in Dawson coun-
ty came over Monday afternoon
for a basket ball game. The
game was cleanly and excellently
played by both teams. No quar-
rels or contentions marred the
game. Sunset has a fine, up-
standing group of boys, who put
up a hard fight, but were unable
to win; our boys taking the game
to the tune of 22 to 15. The only
bad feature of the game was the
cold sand storm which made the oh arches in the joyful study of
game unpleasant for players and
spectators alike.
Miss Howell’s room gave an
excellent program at the chapel
period Monday morning. This
was the first chapel program we
have been able to have for weeks
because of the cold weather,
which has made the auditorium
unbearably cold. We were for
tunate to have a pleasant morn-
ing last Monday and so could
have the program.
The honor roll or children mak-
ing an average of 90 on all their
work for the fifth month of
school from Room No. 2 are:
THIRD GRADE
1. Bobbie Doss.
2. Jack Pittman.
3. Elizabeth Stark.
4. A. C. Stanley.

One of the most potent of all
forces in the development of
Christian character as well as in
all kingdoms movements is the
prayerful study of the Holy
Scriptures. Would you have
strength and poise and solidarity
in your spiritual being? Then
forget not the source from which
these worthy soul qualities are
nourished. The Sweet Singer of
Israel in the mids.t of the big
tasks of his life ever prayed:
“Quicken thou me according to
thy word.”
The Word supplies a strength
for every trial, a comfort in ev-
ery affliction, a power for every
duty, a source of joy amidst ev-
ery sorrow. "Before I was af-
flicted I went astray, but now I
have kept thy words,’’ said the
Psalmist. How expressive and
true to his life is this statement
of it. The difference between
David and his sin and the Psalm-
ist in the Sanctuary was wrought
out by the Word. “Thou art the
man” had penetrated his soul
and penitently he found his way
back to his Father’s house.
May we not have faith in these
weeks of special evangelistic ser
vices over the State. How ear
nestly the apostle to the gentiles
plead for the prayers of even the
humblest among those whom he
served.
Will you not take your place
(otherwise it will be empty) Sun-
day morning at one of our
of the Words of Life?
Pastor will occupy his pulpit at
both hours Sunday, Feb. 9. How
gladly we would welcome you,
Two new members to he received
Sunday. Doors open for you.
Come.
Theme for morning hour: “The
Wearied Christ Sitting by the
Well.”
R. P. Kelly, Pastor.
SCHOOL BOARD PLANS
NEW BUILDING
At a meeting of the school
board of Seminole Consolidated
District Thursday night the
board approved the preliminary
plans for a new school building,
to be fire proof throughout, and
to contain a combined auditor-
ium • gymnasium.
Architects estimates on the
building equipped and ready to
begin using are $90,000.00. The
proDOsed building will be steam
heated throughout, electric wir
ed, contain modern plumbing
and will be ui> to-riate in every
respect. It is to be two stories
in height, and when completed
will be a credit to the district.
Peters, Strange & Bradshaw
of Lubbock, are the architects.
They also are the architects on
Lubbock’s new $650,000 00 high
school building.
Mrs. J. W Davis and daughter,
Miss Edna, spent several days in

MESDAMES LINDLEY AND
SOUTHALL ENTERTAIN
The Woman’s Missionary So
ciety of the Methodist Church
held their monthly social meet-
ing at the home of Mrs. T. F.
Lindley, with Mesdames Lindley
and Southall as hostesses. Mrs.
Southall had charge of the de-
lightful social hour, which was
spsnt in the playing of games
based upon the knowledge of the
Bible.
Following these Bro. Florence
gave a very interesting talk on
Missions, in which he gave in-
formation as to the part that the
women of the Church, through
the Missionary Society, have in
carrying on that important phase
of the work.
The delicious refreshments
consisting of sandwiches, cake
and hot chocolate, were served
to the members and the follow
ing guests: Mesdames Daniell,
Harris, E. W. Heath, Foster and
Graham* and Mesdames Lindley,
Belcher and Florence and Bro.
Florence of Seagraves.
Following the refreshments
Mrs. Estep gave a short talk in
which she set forth the aims and
plans of the Society and solicited
those who were not members to
join in the work. Mesdames
Heath, Graham and Harris were
received as new members.
The joyous occrsion reached
the climax when Fern Daniell,
Roger and Culver Southall came
in drawing behind them a wagon
loaded with many good thidgs to
eatt-aod stepped m front of Bro.
and Mrs. Florence.
The meetihg, which closed
with a prayer led by Bro. Flor-
ence, was considered a success
by all present. It is in these
social mertings after all that our
greatest opportunities for real
fellowship come.

SEW LOCATION IS
ANDEEWS C0DSTY
Andrews, Feb. 5—Represents
tives of the Deep Rock Oil Com-
pany which brought in the Og-
den No. 1, first producing well
in the Andrews field, have an-
nounced another new location.
It is 990 feet east of the west
line and 990 feet north of the
south line in the southwest cor-
ner of section 4, block A 48, Pre-
liminary work on the cellar
should start in a week or so.
Rumors to the effect that still
another location will be made
soon, presumably In section 22 of
the same block, indicate that the
company is leaving nothing un-
done to discover the main trend
of the pool. The new location In
section four is on the land of W.
J. Mathis of Graham.
The cellar of the King No. 1 la
practically completed and the rig
will be put up immediately. It
is likely that drilling operations
will start in about ten days.
Ogden No. 1, the discovery
well, is flowing by heads at an
average of about 35 barreis every
four hours.
West Texas oil men are con-
stantly advancing the opinion
that to date drilling has been
confined to the bare outer edge
of what appears to be a great
pool.
R. E. Sikes, of Eastland, was
