High School
Doings
BY EILEEN PITTMAN
The boys who went to San Anton-
io to the football game with Brack-
enridge tell us they had a wonder-
ful time. They stayed at the Y. M.
C A all morning and piayeci ping-
pong. checkers etc. because it vfas
raining there as it did here Tuesday.
Coach Irvine said the Eagles play-
ed a good game although they were
defeated. After the game Coach
Irvine took the boys to dinner and
then to a show. It certainly must
have been a great show judging
from the way the boys have been
talking about it.
After the show they went to the
train. When they were about to
leave Coach Irvine missed several
of the boys. Immediately a search
was started and finally after a
search of all the hotels shows etc.
he found them. Allison Taggart
John Joe Garza Walter Williams
and Ed Enns were walking dowm the
middle of the street eating popcorn
and peanuts. But Alvis Bolton was
still missing so they continued the
search. They found him soon. He
was following a popcorn merchant
vainly trying to learn to whistle
as he did He soon ?ave un though
for Ben Brite rushed him off to the
train.
In assembly Wednesday Mr Dodd
tcld us that he had. at he called
them two very "extinguished'’ gen-
tlemen to speak tc us. After he'
made the necessary announcements;
and a few remarks about the game
he told us about their trip. He said
that he couldn't sleep very well on
the way up because the train made
such a noise but on the way back
he declared he slept very soundly
through all the noise confusion and
other forms of disturbance that the
boys seemed to think was necessary
and from the way some of the boys
looked Wednesday it was evident
that they didn't sleep so soundly.
Next on the program of the morn-
ing was one of the “extinguished-’
gentlemen we had been told about. I
The speaker was none other than
Coach Irvine who told us about
the game played Tuesday He said
tr.at he had never congratulated a
ba’l club on losing a game and that
he didn't intend to start doing so
r.ow but he did congratulate the!
club because they played a good
defensive game.
And last but not least we were
introduced to the second "extin- ~
guished" gentleman. Ben Brite A
lot of good laughing uas enjoyed by
everyone during hia remarks be-
cause as usual he had a lot of
funny things to say. He didn't say
much about the game as Coach Ir-
vine had told us all about it but he
was doing a lot of talking about
his brothers who attended the game.
Before he spoke Coach Irvine told
us that every time he turned around
Ben Brite said ‘ Meet my brother.”
he said that he knew Ben had at
least fifteen brothers Coach Brite
explained that he only had five
bsothers We hear that there were
three girls with Ben Hr says that
two of them were his sifters and
perhaps we can guess who the other
one was.
The Girl Reserves gave their an-
nual Mother-Daughter banquet on
Thursday evening at the Episcopal
church. It was well attended bv
nearly all of the girls of the club
and their mothers.
Miss Elizabeth Allen all Valiev
secretary. Miss Perry. Girl Reserve
sponsor and Mrs Rowe. Mrs. Geo
Smith and Mrs. Harris members of
ti c Girl Reserve Board were present
The program was “Life Builders’’
The remainder of the program fol-
lows:

“To each one is elver a marble to
carve for the will:
A stone that is needed to heighten
the beauty of all;
And onlv hi« soul has the magic
to give it grace:
And onlv his hands have the cun-
ning to put it in p’ace.
“Yes. the task that is given to
each one. no other can do;
So the errand is waiting it has
waited through ages for you
And now you appear; and the
hushed ones are turning their
gaze
To see what you do with your
chance in the chamber of days.’’ j

SHIPMENTS OF
FRUIT LAGGING
Mercedes Leads in Total
Cars With Six; 869
Moved Out
(Special to The Herald)
HARLINGEN. Nov. 15 — With
shipments of fruits and vegetables
still far behind those of last year
due to continued rains which eased
off Friday and Saturday. San Ben-
ito was still far in the lead in ship-
ments of citrus with a grand total
of 151 cars Mercedes with 90. and
Donna with 89. were th nearest
competitors.
Mercedes was still leading in the
number of carloads of vegetables
shipped with a total of six. Lan-
drum has shipped three Weslaco
two and Primera. La Villa Carrici-
tos and Los Indios each shipping
one.
Forwardings Saturday morning
totalled nine all over the Missouri
Pacific. The shipments were ai
their lowest ebb in many weeks but
with continued sunshine harvesting
will get in full swing again soon
Total shipments out of the Val-
ley to date are 869 fruit and vege-
tables as compared with 962 fruit
and 119 vegetables to date last year
Shipments of fruit are 73 cars be-
hind. due more or less to rains
which prevented harvesting and
disturbed the sugar-acid ratio so
that thP fruit would not pass the
maturity tests.
Of the grand total the Missouri
Pacific has forwarded 729 carloads
of fruit and 13 vege.ables while the
Southern Pacific rolled 140 cars of
fruit and six vegetables
