ALPINE BUCKS LOSE
TO ODESSA HIGH
The State Supervisor of the teach-
ing of home economics, Miss Lillian
Peek, visited the Alpine High School
Tuesday.
The Alpine Bucks played the
Odessa football boys, at the Jackson
Tield in Alpine on Saturday, No-
vember 7. The game resulted in
46-0 in Odessa’s favor.
The game began with Odessa re-
ceiving the ball. After the first four
downs the ball went over to the
Bucks. The game was running about
even, for the Bucks met with no
better luck in the next four downs.
In the latter part of the first quar-
ter Young got hisc ollar bone brok-
en while tackling Sailers of Odessa,
who had made a 20-yard run. Pul-
liam took Young’s place. Tripp, of
Odessa, in the following down made
a touchdown for Odessa, which made
the score 6-0 at the end of the first
quarter.
Both teams started the second
quarter with new vigor and deter-
mination. This quarter was un-
eventful except Odessa was penalized
15 yards for hurtling. Another touch
down and try was made by Odessa
which made the score 13-0 at the
end of the half.
In the last half Odessa walked off
from the Bucks. Odessa was penal-
Joe Benson suffered a sprained
finger Saturday in the football game.
It is much better now.

yell! Help Alpine to win!

' COLONEL JOHN PERKINS
TALKS On PATRIOTISI
Tuesday, November 10, - Colone
John Perkins gave an interestin
| talk to the school on patriotism. H
■ made the statement that a foreigner

: than a native-born American. Ir
stressing the need of team work ir
a nation, Colonel Perkins compared

Perhaps the most important is the
addition of the Eleventh Grade. Last
year pupils graduated from the
Tenth Grade and were required to
have only 14 units, or credits. This
year a pupil, in order to graduate
must have 16 units. Due to the fact
that.heretofore pupils have been
graduated from the Tenth Grade,
there are now, upon the addition of
the Eleventh Grade, only two Elev-
enth Grade students. Next year,
however, the Eleventh Grade will
have a full class of 25 or 30.
• Another great improvement is the
steam heating plant, which has re-
placed the stoves of last year. The
steam heating system has already
proved its superiority over the old
method. Besides being a great econ
omy in the cost of fuel, the oil burn-
ing furnace is much safer than the
stoves. Also the ehat is radiated
more evenly over the whole room.
We have an additional teacher
this year, also. The Seventh Grade
now has its own teacher, whereas
last year that grade had ad ifferent
teacher for each subject. The four
high school grades now have six
teachers among them, each teaching
a different subject to each grade.
Many lesser improvements, such
