CORINTH BUSY
WITH ATHLETICS
(By Omni Stoke*)
Laat Friday afternoon we war*
boats to tlw Lone Oak basketball
teams, and we at* vary proud to
report that our foams won taro out
of the three tames. The senior
bojrs were matched for the first
tame and it was a very nice tame
indeed. It seemed that our boys
would win comparatively easy at
the end of the first quarter, but
Lone Oak was not to be denied
and in the closint seconds of play
hooked a goal, which proved to be
the decisive goal of the game. The
boys fought hard for their initial
win of the season, but luck seemed
to be against them in the end. All
of the boys played hard and clean.
The senior girls played in the sec-
ond game and won by a fairly de-
cisive score of 12 to 8. Our girls
showed to be a bit better than
their opponents from the start but
had to really fight in order to en-
ter the win column for the first
time. The girls are very much
elated over the outcome of the
game and plan to keep on the plus
side.
Last, but not least, came the
junior boys’ game, and though it
wasn’t such a smooth game as the
others, it did prove to be both in-
teresting and entertaining. All of
the juniors had the do or die spirit
and played a nice game. The out-
come proved to be in favor of the
Corinth juniors by the score of
8-4. All of the games were fine and
we wish to thank Lone Oak for
their presence and good sports-
manship. Next Friday, Dec. 14, we
hope to win three games from the
same opponents, and also hope
that as many Corinth patrons will
make the journey as there were
from Lone Oak.
Saturday morning at Pigeon we
are entering our first invitation
tournament and hope we will be at
least partially successful. We hope
to work hard this week and be in
good condition for the games. The
girls wish to invite all who will to
accompany them Saturday and
really help them win. Let’s get
some school spirit because we all
really need it. Let’s help the school
along—it’s ours, why not use it?
People only show their attitude to-
ward an insiitution by the way
they support it. Let’s do out part!
Friday night, Dec. 21, we hope
to have a very nice entertainment
consisting of music furnished by
Arch Evans and his “Tire Chang-
ers,” a pie supper, Christmas tree,
and a short program by the Cor-
inth students and local friends.
This should furnish a very jolly
hour’s entertainment. All come
and don’t forget the pies and mon-
ey. A successful program will help
the community spirit so come and
bring some one with you. It will
be very nice if all parents will aid
in the program by placing their
Christmas gifts on the tree.
We are very glad to welcome the
newcomers into the community
and hope they will enjoy being
with us. Too, we are very regret-
ful that many of our very good
friends and fellow students are
moving from our midst. We hope
for all the best of luck and happi-
ness in the future.

LINGLEVILLE
HONOR ROLL
(By The Students)
Those Lingleville Bearcat girls
are certainly adding victory after
victory to their already splendid
record. Somebody is certainly go-
ing to have to produce an excep-
tionally good team to defaat Lin-
glevilla’s team. Daylor Mayfield,
Eloise Lanham and Hilma Chisum
form the swiftest group of for-
wards ever to be on these courts.
They would be helpless, though,
without the co-operation of the
guards. Jessie Whitefield, Delilah
Chisum, Ava Nell Favors, Ruby
Raulston, and Lorena Caughman
play interchangingly as guards.
The hardest game the girls have
played was Tuesday night. They
played the Lingleville outsiders on
the new lighted night court up-
town, defeating by only 8 points.
Let’s watch those Bearcats for the
rest of the season.
Lingleville is indebted to Mr.
Heaton of Stephenville for the ma-
terial success of the splendid play
presented just before Thanksgiv-
ing as he furnished Delco lights.
Wednesday afternoon before
Rchool was dismissed for Thanks-
giving holidays, the teachers com-
bined numbers and presented an
enjoyable program for the pat-
rons. Each room presented its best
from the little beginners on up.
The teachers are planning another
such entertainment for just before
Christmas.
We feel that Lingleville school
is on the “up and up” move. The
faculty, under the able guidance
of Supt. A. C. Johnson, has set
as its goal this year the stand-
ardization of the school. Should
this be accomplished, Lingleville
will hold an enviable place among
the rural high schools by becoming
a standardized B class high school.
For the honor roll of this last
report we present the following
for recognition:
First grades (Miss Daniel):
Buren Conatser, Vernon Hilliard,
John 5{ac Wylie, Della Jane Fau-
bus, Dorothy Crow.
Second grade (Miss Daniel):
Helen Whitefield, Edna Cason,
Dalton Craddock, Roger Pryor.
Second grade (Mrs. Atkins):
Fritz Lanham, Juanita Yardley,
Evelyn Spain.
Third grade (Mrs. Atkins):
George Arthur.
Fourth grade (Miss White):
Charles Gogers.
Fifth grade (Miss White) Char-
les Ann Wylie, Betty Ruth Conat-
ser, Charles Yantis.
Sixth grade (Mr. Larner):
Mary Virginia Rogers.
Seventh grade: None.
Eighth grade: None.
Ninth grade (Miss Butler):
Hilma Chisum, Lillian Arthur.
Tenth grade: None.
