Lord God, I have no great expensive gift
To offer to one single soul today,
But Lord, dear Lord, if Thou wilt help me lift
The burden from some pilgrim on the way,
And set his heart rejoicing, I shall be
Glad to serve in memory of Thee.
I have no glittering jewels I can give,
No gleaming satins, but perhaps I may

really made her shine in more than
one way. Ruth’s black hair was ar-
ranged in cluster curls on her fore-
heat. She looked very lovely indeed.
Ruth was escorted to the banquet by
“Beany” Hill.
This year the banquet was held in
the gymnasium which was decorated
in gold and white, the Thalian col-
ors. The tables were in a W forma-
tion outlined with white lattice. At
the far end of the W was a tall lat-
tice with large yellow mums strewn
all over it. The centerpieces were
large vases of big yellow mums and
tall yellow glowing candles. At each
place were little mirrors on which
sat tiny crystal candleholders with
a small yellow candle which was
lighted after all were seated.
A grand march began the occas-
ion. It was led by the Thalian Presi-
g'wn which blended beauti-
p her red hair.

The building will be of red brick
and tile, two story in height and is
estimated to cost nearly $30,000. The
ground floor will be the library,
with three rooms on the second floor
one each for chemistry, biology and
physics. On the library floor will
also be an office for the librarian
and a workshop and laboratory for
the librarians use exclusively. The
building will be entirely fire proof
with only the floors of wood being
exposed. The library will be sound
proof and there will also be a chil-

Those who were on the program
that morning were:

Mary Alice Ballow
Anna Louise Mann

The manager and substitute for
the team is Elizabeth Letson. The

and Sam Porter. Bobbie Doss is the
accompanist.
This program this year was pre-
sented earlier than the one last year.
Last year the girls did not appear

in the spring.
The Tumblers also gave the same
program at Graford Thursday night
at the opening of a new gym.
which follows, indicates that the
Coyotes will have to get down to
business early in the season to keep
in front of a fast field, as there are
'some of the best college teams in
Texas lined up for Coyote battles.
Following is the schedule—
January 9th—North Texas Aggies
in Weatherford.
January 12th—Wichita Falls in
Wichita Falls.
January 18th—Hillsboro in Wea-
therford.
January 20th—Plowboys at Ste-

hot and fast. Bradford grew up in
guard position, but is more effective
at forward and handles the ball fast
and gets it away expertly when cor-
nered. Anderson can also manipu-
late the ball and the guards, Thack-
er and Knight, are ready for a hard,
fast game.
Fields stated that the good old rule
of 2 free shots when fouled as an at-
tempt is made at goal, even if the
goal is made, has been re-instated to
a certain extent. The matter of one
or two free shots on such fouls,
when the goal is made is optional
with the referee, who decides if the
foul was deliberately committed or
made with unnecessary roughness
and form of play that would entitle
the shooter to 2 free shots after the
goal is made. Other rules remain
the same as last year, except thac the
cause of the wet ball and the mud,
the conversion was again missed.
In the last half the Coyotes made
two attempt but were driven back
by the Decatur defense. The game
ended 12 to 0 for Weatherford Col-
lege.
Turning in a good game for the
Coyotes were Powers and Porter in
the backfield and Curnutt in the
line.
Starting line-up for Weatherford:

Agnew, guards; Saunders, Gillen- [

A public library for the city of
Weatherford, which will be main-
tained and operated by Weatherford
Junior College has been approved
by National Youth Administration
officials and all that is now needed
for actual work to start on the
building is a public subscription from
Weatherford citizens to make up the
amount required by the N. Y. A.
The first of November, Dr. G. C.
Boswell, President of Weatherford
College and also president of the
Weatherford Chamber of Commerce
went to Austin and conferred with
N. Y. A. officials with the result that
they sent an inspector here within
a few days and the project has de-
veloped rapidly since that time and
is now ready for actual construction.
The library will be built on the
two lots just north of the College
gymnasium, the lots now owned by
the Chamber of Commerce. The
building will be 40 feet wide and
80 feet long and will be situated on
the north side of the lots, leaving 22
In the last grid-iron battle of the
season the Weatherford College
Coyotes galloped over the Decatur
Indians to a 12-0 victory. Making the
tallies in the first and second quar-
ters, the Coyotes played a fine de-
fensive and offensive game on a
mud paved field.
Playing a swell game the first
quarter, the Coyotes had their streak
of luck when Dan Wilson recovered
a fumble on the Decatur eight yard
line. Powers took the ball over right
guard for the first score of the game.
The extra point was missed.
Again in the second quarter the
Weatherford lads hit pay dirt, when

maintained by Weatherford College,
it will be a public library, in every
sense of the word, open to the gen-

live in the rural districts. The hours
will be from 8:00 A. M. to 5 P. M.

until 9:00 o’clock.

Dr G. C. Boswell, President of
Weatherford College has received
notification asking him to become a
charcter member of The Society for
the Advancement of Education. The
general offices will be in New York
City and the Society will public a
weekly magazine. The Society will
be incorporated as a non-profit or-
ganization.
Besides publishing the magazine it
will foster other enterprises to fur-
ther the advancement of education.
The magazine will not "be the mouth-
piece or organ of any individual
group representing specific educa-
tional theories or interests. There
will be no educational utterances.
“And suddenly there was with the
angel a multitude of the heavenly
host praising God, and saying, Glory
to God in the highest, and on earth
peace, good will toward men.” Luke
2:13, 14. /
Jesus Christ came to a warring
world to establish peace. One might
become discouraged seeing the world
still in the wrong attitude, nation
against nation. But there are more
persons on earth today conscientious-
ly opposed to war than have every
lived in any previous century. The
Prince of Peace is making headway
toward abolishing war and establish-
ing a brotherhood on earth.
War is so destructive, so futile, so
foolish that it seems strange that the
nations down through the ages have
resorted to war. No one can esti-
mate what war has cost in dollars
and cents to say nothing of that
greater cost the blood of millions
of men.
When the world becomes Christ-
ian, it will cease to go to war. War
is essentially inherently sinful. May
it be our duty to pray for peace on
earth and good wil Itoward men.

joyed a delightful evening’s enter-

that have been occupied with a stre-

The Coyotes according to the
schedule play 7 games at home and
6 abroad. All games scheduled are
with conference teams, and so far
no exhibition games have been
matched during the playing period.
The time is all taken up with con-
ference games. The long period be-

made so purposely as the mid term
exams are being held at that time.
