JUNIOR CLASS NEWS
On Friday, October 9, the Junior
Class met and elected its flower,
colors and motto for the coming
school year. The flower is the
sweet pea; the colors are blue and
pink, and the motto is "Love, La-
bor and Laugh."
Acknowledgments go to our
sponsors for their suggestions and
help. We are very fortunate in
having three such efficient persons
to aid us.
Tomorrow has been designated
as official scrap metal day, and all
Juniors are cooperating to their
fullest extent to put this drive
over in a big way! Are you?
LETTERS FROM GRADS
Letters have been received in
the office this week from the fol-
lowing 1942 graduates: Roy Brab-
ham, University of Texas; Erdyce
Waites, Centennary Col-lege;
Charles Kennedy, A&M College;
J. R. Ferguson, Bethany College;
and Monard Jackson, Army Air
Corps, Keeslee Field, Mississippi
Dorothy Louise Lovelace, Blinn
College, Brenham, Texas.
We know that all of these former
students will make our school]
proud of them and we are proud
to be represented by them in these
fine schools.
Misses Mary Margaret Calli-
coatte, Mary Joyce Perdue, and
Mary Ruth Perm spent Saturday
night with Miss Helen Riley.
Misses Mary Cole and Elmarie
White spent the past week-end in
Shreveport.
Miss Julia Faye White spent Fri-
day night with Miss Janyce Steed.
The following ex-grads of AHS
spent the week end in Atlanta:
Carolyn Howe, Polly Starkey,
in an interstate game that has been
a tradition between the two schools
for many years. The Rabbits will
enter the game with its squad at
full strength. Starters probably
will be: c. Allbright, guards Prator
and Davis; tackles Thompson and
Johnson; ends Bass and Hayden;
backs, Johnson, Howe, Harrington,
and Dodd. These boys deserve
much praise and subs deserve just
as much. Those fellows-rarely get
to play in a game but are out every
afternoon taking the knocks from
the larger fellows without a com-
plaint. Ray Dellinger is doing a
fine job at center. James Cash is
doing a fine job of holding down
a backfield position and also see-
ing a great deal of action. There
are many other fine boys and ball
players among the subs, Jackson,
McWilliams, Woods, O'Rear, Bo-
land, Whatley, Wiley, Bates, Lam-
bert, Dees, McDaniels, and Mays
are all doing a fine job.
Meet us at Vivian Friday night
8 o'clock, Warrior Stadium. Come
down and root for the ol' home
town!
SCRAP IRON DRIVE
As we go to press we have not
gone into our power drive on col-
lecting this metal but to date our
Grade School and High School has
responded wonderfully to this call
from Uncle Sam for scrap metal.
Everybody is running a race but
Grade School is leading High
School. However, we expect to
climb right up there this week. The
Seniors are all pleased to know
that they're leading in the High
School race. The total collected
for both schools is approximately
16 tons!
Our ambition up here now is to
see every student of Atlanta High
School and Grammar School wear-
ing Junior Texas Ranger Badges.
Because then we will know that
each one has done his part in fight-
ing on the third front.

FOREST HILL
By CHARLES LOVELACE
The Atlanta High School Rabbits
went lown by the tune of 32-13,
at the hands of the New Boston
High School Wolves here last Fri-
lay night.
The game was by far the best
showing of the Rabbits this sea-
son. Gliding along like a sixteen
point was no good.
Fur was now flying hard and
fast. New Boston drove downfield
for another score with Burrous
carrying over. New Boston kicked
to Harrington on his 20, he re-
turned to the 42. Hardy Johnson
broke through the New Boston line
for 15 yards, passed to Bass for
20 yards. On the next play John-
son passed to Bates for 15 more.
After one incomplete pass John-
son broke off tackle for 8 yards
and a touchdown. The game end-
ed with Atlanta kicking off to New
Boston.

during the first half. Although
their grid machine sputtered, miss-
ed fire, and finally stopped, twice
inside the New Boston 10 yd. line,
the Rabbits completely out drove,
and out gained the Wolves during
the first period. The Rabbits took
to the air in the final stanza and
with some beautifully executed
passes from Johnson to Bass and
Bates, the Rabbits found their
scoring punch and pushed across
two touchdowns.
After receiving the opening kick-
off on his own 20 yard line Howe
raced down field for 17 more yards.
Hardy Johnson went off tackle
to the 49, and a first down. Run-
ning four consecutive ground plays
the Rabbits failed to make the nec-
essary yardage for a first down,
giving the ball to New Boston in
mid-field. Holding New Boston to
a net of only 5 yards they kicked
to the Atlanta 10, Dodd returning
to his own 19.
Sparks began to fly—the Rab-
bits were moving down field. Fea-
turing some nice runs by Howe and
Johnson the Rabbits picked up six
straight first downs, -landing on
New Boston's 5 yard line with first
down and goal to go. After 4
downs the Rabbits netted 3 yards,
with the ball going over on New
Boston's 2 yard line. Burrous
New Boston speed demon, swept
around end for 8 yards. A penalty
pushed them back to their own
1 yard line. After picking up 5
yards around end, Burrous kicked
to Harrington on the New Boston
45 yard line. Harrington's re-
turn of this kick was one of the
game's outstanding runs. With!
good down field blocking he put the i
Rabbits in scoring position by his
return to the New Boston 5 yard j
"ine. Again the visitors applied |
son, Davis, Allbright, Praytor and
Thompson held down the line in
good shape, while Hayden, Bass
and Bates were taking care of their
end positions.
Cash and Dodd made good show-
ing of themselves from that un-
sung position of blocking back,
while Johnson, Harrington and
Howe were toting the leather. If
the Rabbits continue to show im-
provement as they did for this
game, yours truly will predict a
victory tomorrow night in Vivian.
