GRADE NOTES.
The fifth grade English Class has
been studying about King Midas.On
completing the study, each pupil
impersonated the Fairy and wrote a
letter to King Midas. The letters
of some of the pupils are given here.
They are printed just as written by
the pupils, without any corrections
whatever.

Fairy Land, Jan. 31, 1819.
Dear King Midas:
I am glad I thought you a lesson.
I knew you were greedy and wanted
more than you needed. I will tell
you how to get your little daughter
and your things to be natural. Go to

papers from now on!

Holland entertained at the home of
Mrs. Clay Holland, Monday night
with a dance in honor of Crystal
Holland’s sixteenth birthday. The
room was beautifully decorated
with large colored balloons. The
younger set danced until 11:30 and
a sigh was heard among the crowd
Special music was on the program
but had to be omitted because of the
illness of Corinne Barker.
Miss Bunton, the sponsor, passed
out numbers to each of the members,
and those drawing the number thir-
teen were asked to give one minute
impromptu speeches on their choice
of a name for the society. After the
talks the note showed Viola Dod had
been most influential, for her choice,
the “Kipling Klub" was chosen.
Henceforth our society will be
called the “Kipling Klub”. There be-
ing no further business, the meeting
adjourned until February 3.

Wednesday morning January 20, a
special chapel exercise was held for
the purpose of presenting the foot-
ball boys with sweaters. The pre-
sentation was made by Superinten-
dent Melton and Coach McKenzie.
After the student body sang “Al-
pine” and gave yells, the sweaters
were given to the following boys:
Harry Watson, J. C. Creamer, Bennie
Moore, Charles Treadwell, “Sonny”
Carter, Tom Cross, J. T. Mullenix,
Thomas Skevington, Ray Roberts,
Quannah Allen, Ralph Ridgeway,
Joe Benson and Vitchey Young.
These sweaters were given to the
boys as a reward for their good work
in football during the past season.
The sweaters, which were black
slipovers, had a big gold “A” on a
purple background on the front of
them. On the sleeves of the
sweaters gold stripes were knitted.
THE STAFF CHANGES
The readers of the A. H. S. Broad-
caster will note that a new staff has
been elected for the next month.
Ray West ‘26 has become editor and
Carrie Mae Vogt ’27 assistant editor.
Eveylon Smith ’27 social reporter,
Tom Cross ’27 sport reporter and
Burnard Overstreet ’29 assistant re-
porter, Ora Matthews ’27 general re-
porter. Fay Wilkes ’29 reporter

Some of them had two stripes and
some one stripe. The stripes in-
dicated the number of years the bays
had made the team.
Mr. Melton then presented Coach
McKenzie with a gift, a fountain
pen and pencil from the school as a
token of appreciation for his interest
and his work with the team.

one carving on a desk would cost
the carver eight dollars. Rather

to get bargains all of his life.

The tenth grade i s having a little
variety in personnel of its teach-
ers. Since mid-term examinations
two student-teachers from Sul Ross
College have taken over tenth grade
subjects. Mr. H. G .Secrest, a senior
at the college, is teaching English
history. Mr. Secrest has had con-
siderable teaching experience. Be-
sides having been connected with the
Ballinger schools, he was for two
years superintendent of the school at
Talpa, Texas.
Mr. B. T. Brannon, another senior
student at the College, teaches the
tenth grade English class on Satur-
days. Mr. Brannon is at present
superintendent of the school at
Valentine.
The eighth grade has one student-
teacher. Miss Florence Weckesser,
member of a senior education class
at the college, has taken over the
eighth grade history class.
We believe that mutual benefit
will come from this arrangement of
having Sul Ross student-teachers do
work in Alpine High School.

Personal Responsibility
If each pupil in school would
realize that the school is for him
and that he should take a personal
interest and responsibility in it, the
school would be a better school.. If
each pupil would feel toward class
discussion that it is for his benefit,
as well as for the others in the class,
and that he should contribute
everything he can to the discussion,
the class would be more interesting
and beneficial. Again, if pupils
would only assume responsibility
for their conduct in chapel, there
would be no laughing or talking
during the exercises. Last but not
least, is the responsibility in being
true to the trust that a teacher re-
poses in a class. A pupil or class is
generally trusted"until that pupil or
class shows that it cannot be trust’d.
If each pupil would resolve to be
true the class as a -whole would be
true to the trust and would do noth-
ing in the absence of at eacher that
it would not do in the presence of a
teacher.
So let’s try, each of us, to take
upon ourselves personal responsib. i-
ty in the classroom, in chapel and in
living up to trusts that are reposel
in us. Let’s have it said that we
are interested in our work, that we
are well-mannered and attentive in
chapel, and above all, that we ar.
worthy of trust.

Dear King Midas:
I received your letter. I see now you
are very dissatisfied. If what you
say is true and you will never ask
for money any more, I will take the
Golden Touch away. Your daughter
will become natural again. If you
will promise to do what I say when
I come back. Yours truly,

Dear King Midas:
You were proud and wished tor
the golden touch. I warned you, but
you wanted it anyway. I knew you
would be unhappy. But since you
beg for it to leave you so earnestly
I guess I might help you. If you
will never wish for any more gold
and if you will give me all of the
gold pennies you have I will tell
you the way. But remember a gold
cup that you drink out of will re-
main gold to remind you of your
foolish wish. The way to get rid of
the golden touch is to bathe in a
river and sprinkle water on any-
thing you want to turn back to its
natural form. Your Friend,
THE FAIRY PRINCE,

You dont seem to know what you
want. I have no time to fool with
such people. Besides you haven’t
enough money to pay me to take a-
way the wonderful golden touch.

Miss Batey entertained the High
School Tuesday morning with a de-
lightful program. She told the
story of Mozart’s opera “The Mar-
riage of Figaro,” which will be
given at the Mojave theatre Feb-
ruary the first. She sang two songs
which were greeted with loud ap-
plause and might be interpreted as
an invitation to her to return to Al-
pine High.

TIME IS MONEY
The following editorial was writ-
ten by a sixth grade pupil. It is
printed as written, without any cor-
rection.
One night as an officer sat at his
supper table, two men with a nice
sized reward on their heads sat down
under the railway watertank. They
were waiting for a freight train. The
freight train left town about nine-
thirty and with it left the men. In
about ten minutes this officer went
down to this same water-tank,
where the two wanted men had sat.
If he had been there ten or twelve
minutes earlier he would have
caught the men and got the rewards
too.

BUCKS LOSE TO MARFA HIGH
The Alpine Bucks were defeated
at basketball by the Marfa High
School Monday evening, by a score
of 14 to 13. The game was interest-
ing all the way through. At the
end of the first half the score was
13 to 4 in favor of the Bucks, but
the visitors came back with new
vim and vigor in the second half,
and at the end of the game the score
was tied 13-13. Three minutes
extra was allowed to play off the tie.
Knight of Alpine was fouled, and
Marfa made the free pitch. Neither
side was able to score during the re-
mainder of the game, and when the
final whistle blew the score was 14
to 13 in favor of the visitors.

Dear King Midas:
I know you are miserable but you
said that you would be happy if you
had lots of gold. I suppose I had
better leave it with you for awhile.
Do you think that now you would be
happy without the gold? If so I
may take the magic away. Would
you be better pleased with your
little girl or with the gold? If you
think so I will come and tell you
how to take the magic away. But
please do not ask for gold again.
