the Junior boys of Senior High. Sen-
ior High score 10 points the first
quarter and 10 in the remaining
three quarters with Hamilton doing

place with his entry in the Club
boys baby beef show, held last Sat-
urday in this city, with a 900-pound
calf that was judged as near perfect
as one could possibly wish.
Senior Yell Leaders
To Receive Jackets
There were two girls made very
happy by Coach Wishard one day
last week. It was the two senior yell
leaders, Barbara Smith and Dorothy
O’Hara. Coach informed them they
were to receive jackets.
There will be some form of enter-
tainment to raise the money, we feel
sure it will be an old-time pie sup-
per.
The two junior yell leaders, Betty
Fain and Edylee Wells will receive j
jackets next year after serving the
Kangaroos once again.

vv. Short, Jr. won second place;
S. W. Nash, Jr. third; Ellie Carter,
fourth; Dwain Folio will, fifth; Har-
old Tanner, sixth; Leon Tanner, sev-
enth; Joe Garrett eight place award.
The prizes given for the first four
awards totaled $17.50 divided as fol-
lows: 1st place $7.50; 2nd award
$5.00; 3rd award $3.00 and fourth
place, $2.00.
There were only 11 calves on ex-
hibition, nine White Faced and two
black, Polled Angus breeds. The An-
gus calves did not compete with the
white faced entries, and were mere-
ly exhibited by the Tanner brothers
for a comparison with white face
calves of same age and weight. They
were good calves, too, and attracted
quite a little attention, and one of
them sold to Dorsey Grain Co. for
nine cents bringing about $70.00.
Following the judging of the calv-
es, they were auctioned off and
brought the following prices:
Floyd Tinsley champion calf 900
pounds to Citizens aNtional Bank
for 15 Vz cents per pound bringing
$139.50.
D. W. Short calf, second award,
sold to Dorsey Grain Co. for 12.25
cents per pound, weight 980 pounds
bringing $120.05.
S. W. Nash entry, third place, 1,000
pounds, sold to Citizens National
[Bank for 10 cents, bringing $100.00.
Ellis Carter, fourth award, 980
pounds, sold to First National Bank
for 10 cents, $98.00.
Dwain Followil, fifth award, calf
weighing 795 pounds, sold to Texas
Public Utilities Corporation for 10
cents, $79.50.
Other sales were Joe Garrett 710
pound calf to First National Bank at
9 cents per pound.
James Pearson 380 pound calf to
Henry Hill for 9 cents.
Harold Tanner 680 pound calf to
Merchants and Farmers State Bank
for 10 cents, $68.00.
Harold Tanner Polled Angus calf
790 pounds to Dorsey Grain Co. for
9 cents per pound.
Leon Tanner 680 pound calf to
Jack Hart of First National Bank for
10 cents.
While the show was limited in
number of entries, most of the calves
were high quality, classey and some
of them in such fine condition as to
attract much favorable comment
from cattlemen and ranchers pre-
sent. The day was windy and dust
flying, caused the boys no end of
trouble in keeping their calves in
nice appearing condition for the
judging.
It is expected that a larger num-
ber of 4-H Club boys and F. F. A.
boys wil lenter the spring show in
1941 than this year, or for the past
several seasons.
