Log of the Good
Ship W. H. S.
By Blanche Patrick
Tuesday, Feb. 20—Those six period
study haliers appreciated their off-
period for the first time today. A
basket ball game between W. H. S.
and Whitt was scheduled, and Prin-
cipal G'ranstaff dismissed the hall
to see the game.
The W. H. S. girls, famous for their
glamorous faces and clothes don’t
have a thing on our boys. In honor
of “Presidential Election” Landon
Roberts, Jimmy Bozell, Dan White
arid Kenneth Jones have been spruc-
ing up like real politicians.
•: Wednesday, Feb. 21—“Good in one
sport, good in all” seems to be Sam
Houghwout’s slogan. He starred in
football and basketball and now he’s
taken up tennis. Other racquet-
swingers are Jeanne Bozell, Jimmy
Burnfin, Carmel Moore, and Morgan
McMichen.
Thursday, Feb. 22—Conversation
bits such as “You bring the wieners”,
“It just can’t rain”, “At seven” indi-
cate budding plans for the holiday
torhorrow.
Monday, Feb. 26—Visitor news:
Miss Hughes is a temporary mem-
ber- of 2nd period Spanish class. It
seems the air-hostess jo bfor which
she is qualified requires Spanish, and
she is brushing up on the language
she studied two years in high school.
Teusday, Feb. 27—The fried chic-
ken season is here. But the F. F. A.
boys are not enjoying it like the rest
of us. They can’t help thinking that
each piece might be off one of their
own little chicks—(now grown large
enough to eat, and sold.)
Wednesday, Feb. 28—Add to hid-
den talent list: Eula Bess Wadsworth,
who plays the piano very well.
Thursday, Feb. 29—The soft ball
teams are improving with training,
so Sybil Davis, catcher for the girls,
reports. Miss Shipp is holding essay
writing elimination this P. M. Track
and tennis are coming along. Looks
as if W. H. S. will carry off some
first places in Interscholastic League
next Friday and Saturday.
Friday, March 1—Seniors had a
45-minute class meeting today.
Sophs and Juniors were weeping on
each others shoulders because they
would be in school until 4:15. Result:
Bell rang no later than 3:40. Moral:
We don’t know, do you?
Monday, March 4—A number of
students and teachers from both
high schools attended the Symphony
Orchestra Concert held in Fort
Worth Saturday night.
Home Ec. Girls
Entertain F. F. A.
A Leap Year party was held last
Thursday, February 29, in the Amer-
ican Legion Hall for the F. F. A.
boys. The hostesses were all the
Home Ec girls and Miss Vandagriff.
Two hours of favorite games and
musical entertainment were climax-
ed by refreshments of banana nut
bread and fruit punch, which were
prepared by the department.
Martha B. Heifrin and Pat Hart-
nett are a cute couple, eh what?

Our Trip
Everyone WISHARD that we
could go to SPAIN but a friend Mrs.
WILLIAMS, AND-ER-SON, NEL-
SON, visited in ou rhome and we on-
ly had time to go to COLVILLE, in
our little WHITE FORD.
That day, MITCHELL said, “The
CARSWELL and I’ll be ready to go
to-MORRIS.”
“BELCHER (better) not take you
that LONG or we’ll be a YE ARY
getting there and back.”
I went to the TAYLOR to pay him
before I left, but he said, “NIX, you
only OWEN me two NICHOLS.”
HOUGHWOUT-ever, JUSTICE the
first sun BEAM came over the HILL
we WALKER-ed to the CARR, We
were delayed because JENKINS for-
got her BELLE. “Do not FAIN to
hurry or we will do you WRIGHT by
leaving you to MOSELY along, until
you PARRISH or ELLERS come on.
With a BARBEE and a SOSEBEE
JOHN-sons, BLAKEY and GREEN
made her CONNELLY hurry,
screamed “YEATS” and chased them
down the HALL into the ALLEN,
and into the WOODS BALLOW-ing
“You MEANS RASCOE.”
AFTON that we were mcMAKIN I
it VARNER (very) good when
SHELBY noticed the CAMPBELL
with GARLANDs. BOYTER stop for
we won’t have time to see much
more scenery.
“HEADY” said UPTON and fed i
the CAMPBELL some JOHNSON
grass. “Is the HAYGOOD?” We
thought he was CUMMINGs BUT-
ler he said “I’ve lost my CAT-o,”
and began looking UNDERWOOD;
But to his surprise she was with a
MILNER. “McQUEEN has left her
future KING,” but since he was in
the park he didn’t care.
In the menagerie was a HEN-slee,
CROW, cRAVEN, MARTIN, and a
ROBIN-son in a COOPer. They were
singing in HARMON-y and acting
FRITZ-y.
BLAIRE-ing fast, but EBELL-y
past us was a FARMER with a
bunch of GREEN MOSS. The GAR-
DENER said it needed a little wa-
ter. HOWARD-ever, the WADS-
WORTH much MOORE while it’s
YOUNG than when it’s OL-son.
We met the FISHER and SMITH
who said “O’HARA, I can’t BAR-
RETT for the FAIR’S over.
s. l. c.
Ouida Cox gave an interesting talk
on “Models” at the last regular meet-
ing. Each girl learned some interest-
ing facts on this subject as a possible
vocation. Ouida stressed the fact that
much hard work is connected with
this profession. Mary Lawrence Ed-
wards gave a talk on “Forming Ha-
bits”.Mary Lawrence reminded us in
her talk that things we do each day
are forming either good or bad ha-

time of meeting to 6:30 instead of
6:15.
