LISTEN WORLD
By Maurine Hewitt
Students, I am sure you have al-
ways heard, the old saying, "You nev-
<er miss anything until it's gone" that
is the way with school life. While you
-are in school you don't realize how
inuch fun you are having and how
touch you are really getting out of it.
You think that school is hard and
<don't see why the teachers give you
so many lessons to prepare, but the
night that you walk out of high
schoc-l with a diploma in your hand
with the problems of life staring you
In the face you realize then that there
is something gone out of your life
that you'll never have again, and, too,
\vhen school starts again in the fall,
you feel completely lost, as if your
friend had deserted you and as days
puss you realize how much fun you
did have while you were in school and
that it wasn't as hard as you had
thought.
So, students, if thi<? is your last
year in Rusk High School why not
get the most out cf it that you can,
because 5'ou'll rever have the oppor-
tunity to do so again. Even if you do
jgo to college it vrou't be like your
high school days, because high school
days are your happiest.

his poultry flpck culled free of charge
by the first, year Vocational Agricul-
ture boys, who have just finished this
unit and are eager for more practice.
The second year boys are working
oil plans for beautifying the school
campus by planting native trees and
shrubs, which will be secured from
nearby woodlands and transferred to
the school campus.
FAREWELL PICNIC
Last Wednesday night the Home
Economic girls and F. F. A. boys,
svith the help of Mr. Hartt, enter-
tained Miss Sheets, the former Home
Economics teacher, with a farewell
picnic. Everyone met at the school
building and went to Dickey's pond
in cars. When they arrived there a
fire was built and the boys went to
get sticks with which to roast wein-
ers. For eats there were weiners,
bread pickles, mustard and .punch.
After eating, various games were
played. The picnic was enjoyed by ev-
eryone in spite of the fact that it
was the last time to be with Miss
Sheets.

man is on the honor roll for the first

and fair complexion. He is of a stocky
build and about fifteen years of age.

is his first year in Rusk High School.
He is liked by everyone and a good
student. If it were not for his parents
there would be no Eagles Echo.

—Herman Mason.
NEW BOOKS IN LIBRARY
Of the one hundred and fifty new
books recently ordered, by the school
board for the high school library,
about thirty have been received.
These include titles for the Latin de-
partment—"Rome and the Romans"
by Showerman, "A Day in Old Rome'
by Davis and "With Caesar's Legions'
by Wells; several c-n judging swine
and so forth for the agriculture de-
partment; and several,.-for outside
reading in fiction and biography. The
new hooks were eagerly seized by
students avid for fresh reading mater
ial. Probably tlise boys and girls gave
no thought to the school board or to
any other of the benefits their mod-
ern schooling gives them, but any
sehool board member seeing how
quickly they became immersed in the
new books would be amply rewarded;
nc- person realizing how much bene-
fit the books will be to the students,
would regret a cent of school money
so spent.
NEW SONGS
The Glee Club, progressing rapidly
under the supervision of Mr. Mur-
dock, has learned three new songs,
"Morning", by Speaks—Baldwin, and
"Neapolitan Nights" by F>rr Zame-
cnik and "Kashmiri S'ong" (Pale

KNOW TEXAS
Ilc.rses and mules evidently still
have an - edge on the "horseless car-
iage" in Texas, there being over a
million of them' as compared with
about 960,000 automoblies according
to the -J93G tax figures." However,
they are just worth twenty-five mil-
lion dollars, while eighty-seven mil-
lions are invested in Texas automo-
biles. This evaluation for cars is al-
most a million higher than in 1935,
but the number of cars has decreased
Texans seem -to be going in for qual-
ity rather than, quantity in transpor-
tation.
Wild or tame, old man turkey is in
for it now. If he's wild his gloomy
season starts November 16 and lasts
through December 31, when both
north and south zone hunters are wel-
come to make him a target, providing
they don't kill more than three gob-
lers a season. However, there are 39
counties without open season at any
time, so he might try hiding.
The fate- of tame turkeys is even
nu-re inevitable, especially, in this
state, which has the largest turkey
crop in the world. Besides the home
supply over 1600 carloads of this
Thanksgiving favorite are shipped out
annually. Cuero, center of the indus-
try, has a yearly "Turkey Trot," when
thousands of the birds are driven
down the main street of town.
PIGSKIN HERO TO BE SELECTED
Who will succeed Slinging Sammy
as the pigskin idol of 2500 girls at
Texas State College for Women?
At the end of each football season
T. S. C. W. students choose their
ideal player. Last year, when Texas
Christian's famous passer rated No.
1 man, he and his coach were intro-
duced a tthe college and presented
with a trophy by the student body.
No rules govern the contest—the
player is not judged by yardage, po-
sition or number of games; in fact,
it may be the dimple in his chin that
wins out. So if any prominent play-
ers are seen smiling ingratiatingly at
fair spectators during the rest of the
season they may be marked as hope-
ful entrants.
