Lampasas was thrown into a tur-

electric power was off. No lights, no

ery discussion was when the lights
Would be back on, or what a tough
time everybody was having. This
situation was rated banner headlines
by several of the newspapers in Cen-
tral Texas.
This was a minor disaster to most
of us; yet more than half the homes
of Texas have never had electric
fights. We seldom read any headlines
concerning the lack of electricity in
the farm homes. There-is a govern-
ment program called the Rural Elec-
triveation Administration designed to
help farmers properly light their
homes. AVe Who are used to-eieetric-
lights have never before realized the
necessity of the adequate lighting not
only needed during power break-
downs, but the other 365 days in the
year also.

The city council has voted to change
the name of Grand Avenue to Key
Avenue and name a roadside park
just outside of town Key Park. A
monument wilj be erected also to the
memory of the late Mr. J. R. Key.
A more energetic worker for his
community will probably never be
found. It is only fitting that the
street, through which by his efforts a
national highway has been run, should
be named in his honor.
In this modern age we are prone
to take too much for granted. Mr.
Key has deserved some compensation
for his labors long ago and we should
have honored him when he could bet-
ter have appreciated it. Of course,
from his own modesty, Mr. Key would
probably have been reluctant to

consulted, but he would have
ized that we do value his efforts,

Struggles of a learned student:1
The most annoying thing about
cold weather was having my cars
freeze.
Lampasas suffered as a whole this
time but held its own ant! re-discov-
ered the old-faahioned way with kero-
sene lamps and candles. Incidentally
those few in town who had wells were
certainly proud of them. The signs
of cold weather yet remain with us.
The bookkeeping students were du-
ly alarmed Wednesday when
Moore talked into class with
starulgrcj exam under his arm.
The Texas history class has begun
to indulge in that well known habit
of reviewing for term exam. Here-
tofore, they have been' slightly over-
worked-what with Dudr Urm-lhcmes.
and book reports.
The seniors are certainly proud of
those little Symbols which mark them
as seniors but a few of them have
been lent to others, (you understand.)
By Friday the entire student body
had the same feeling the bookkeep-
ing students felt Wednesday and why
shouldn’t they? <
The enrollment of the girls’ Chor-
al Club in 1936 and 1937 is the larg-
est that it has ever been. The girls
meet one hour each day in the high
school auditorium and the following
songs have been studied: “Just a

Marland went about his usual Sun-
day routine, ignoring .the threats in
a $5,000 extortion letter delivered at
his executive offices Saturday.
“I can take care of myself,"’ said
Marland, smilingly calling attention
to his ability as a pistol marksman.
He posted a $500 reward for ihe
sender of The letter, which threaten-
ed both the chief executive and his
wife.
“If somebody else had received "the
letter I would have made it a damned
substantial reward,” he 'declared. “I
hope if anybody else dopa receive a
letter like That they will report it to
police.”
The Governor and Mrs. Marland
relaxed nt a movie Saturday night, a
few hours after the pencil-scrawled
note had come to their attention. They

Everyone seems to like the national
game. Coach Bozarth has stated that
there will be a tournament among the
classes starting next week. This will
create interest in the school as every
class has some first class ball play-
ers.
Coach Bozarth called his first for-
mal practice since the Christmas holi-
days Thursday. The team will work
hard these Inst few days before the
county tournament. Lpmeta looms as
a top-heavy favorite to grab the coun-
ty title as they have defeated both
San Saba and Brady which are both
very strong clubs.
Coach Moore is expected to issue
the call for tracksters in a few days.
Track is starting later this year due
to the fact that too much work in
track is worse than . not getting
enough. The invitation track meet
held Were last year will be held again
this year but no definite date has been
set. This should bring some of the
best frack men in the district here.
