MY WORK
THE SQUAWKIES

| hoped that they wi.1 larrive within the
" next month.
A few of the students are having
a hard time since the new rule has
been made about being sent out of

Markaret Bryson spent Sunday in
Greenville with her sister, Mrs.
Ernest Spai-ks.
NEWS BRIEFS
The staff is indeed sorry to lose
Orville Lee as Sports Editor. But,
as he finished school at mid-term, he
is leaving S. S. H. S. He was one
of the most loyal staff members to
be found any where and his untiring
efforts in writing the Sports news
was certainly appreciated by the
staff. Here’s hoping he has success
in whatever he undertakes.
Miss Lucille Wolfe of Greenville
was a visitor of Ruth Searls and
Alice Palmer Sunday afternoon.
This issue of The Hi-Life has been
under the direction of the Associate
Editor, Earl Hopkins Stirling. If
you like the way he has managed it,
tell him so as it is his first attempt
at making up the paper.
This Unusual Weather.
All of us towns that advertise
our climate are used to having
“unusual” weather but last week
we had about the most “unusual”
that has happened around here for
a good many years. It was a cold
wave, and how. Which led one
bird to remark that we have at
least the consolation of knowing
these cold waves are not of the
permanent variety.
Charles Allen Kennedy visited
school last week. His many friends
will be glad to learn that he will be
back in school soon after several
weeks illness.
Jack Eason and Earl Hopkins
Stirling visited in Texarkana Satur-
day.
The Freshmen have had quite a
difficult time getting into the prop-
er classroom at the proper time and
every time they ask “what room is
which”; the other classes seemed al-
most as ignorant as the poor harassed
Fish.
Concerning Baptism.
Henry Fletcher pulled a good
one at the Rotary luncheon last
week when he told about a Meth-
odist preacher who wanted to join
a Rotary club that already had a
Baptist preacher member in the
classification of “protestant min-
ister.” The Methodist preacher
insisted that he should be ad-
mitted under an entirely different
classification than that assigned the
Baptist brother for the reason that
one dealt in wholesale water while
the other retailed it.
The optimist is the fellow who
takes the cold water thrown upon his
proposition, heats it with enthusiasm,
makes steam and pushes ahead.
Alice V.: Quick, call a doctor,
Edna drank some ink by mistake.
Miss Miller: Oh, that’s nothing,
let her eat some blotting paper.
The only way to enforce prohi-
bition is to drink the country dry.
Why is it that no matter how
young a prune may be it is always
full of wrinkles?
You know Alpine has a splendid
talkie house now—something to brag
about as lots of towns bigger than
Alpine have none—but at least one
fellow here has quit attending these
shows for the reason that he can’t
enjoy them because the man in
front of him the last time he at-
tended coughed so loud that he
couldn’t hear the lady in back
of him repeat the lines to her com-
panion. You will find that kind
in every talkie audience, we have
decided, and there really ought to
be some sort of legislation enacted
to suppress them. Make it a capital
offense, says.—Alpine Avalanche.
A Model Faculty
What our country needs is a good
spot remover to remove the spots
made by the patent spot removers.
Dorothy Pounds: So you think
that you are a tennis player, do you?
could beat you left handed.
Hoppy S.: Sorry, I don’t play
left handed.
Charles K.: Even a policeman can
not arrest the flight of time.
Robert L.: Can’t he? Why, only
this morning I saw a policeman go
into a store and stop a few minutes.
Herman M.: Mr. Brown, how long
are the legs of the world’s tallest
man?
Mr. Brown: Well, er, all the way
to the ground, at least.
Couldn’t Get Along Without Them.
Pennsylvania paper—Mrs. Ray
Holleran and daughter, Virginia,
spent the past week with a cousin,
Dr. Archie Rinehart, of West Vir
ginia. During their stay Dr.
Rinehart removed Virginia’s ton-
sils and Mr. Holleran brought
them home on Sunday.
The following goes to show just
to what extent a shrinking little col-
lege girl can denounce a college

thought. She is quite tactful about
it, too!

Let me do my work from day to
day,
In field or forest, at the desk or
loom,
In roaring market place or tranquil
room;
Let me but find it in my heart to
say,
When vagrant wishes beckon me
astray— /
“This is my work; my blessing, not
my doom.
Of all who live, I am the one by
whom
This work can best be done in the
right way.”
Then shall I find it not too great
nor small,
To suit my spirit and to prove my
powers;
Then shall I cheerful greet the la-
boring hours.
And cheerful turn, when the long
shadows fall
At eventide to pay, and love, and
rest,
Because I know for me, my work is
best.
—Henry Van Dyke.

Various and sundry tales have
been circulating over the campus in
regard to the present cold spell. No
two reports coincide and no one is
making any effort to belittle the dif-
ficulties ensuing from it.
Nevertheless, one student who
solemnly and authoritatively told this
story evidently had a bad night. She
