It lakes Time to
make Old Friends
We like to make new friends. It is pleasant
to watch this bank grow, as new names are
added to the old names on our books.
But old friends occupy a special place in
our affections. It takes tilTlS to make old
friends, and they become" for us the con-
stant living reminders of the years back of
us in our service to this community.

Some Do—Some Don't.
As each of has duties to per-
form in life, now or in the future,
we should be mindful of some of
the facts which suggest and pro-
mote success in these duties.
These things will apply to every
day life in business or in school.
Punctuality is one of the first
things to learn. It is a record
within itself. In every thing that
we do, we should be prompt. With
this also comes steadiness or reg-
ularity. A person cannot hold a
position if he is continully absent
from his work, neither can a per-
son in school make his work. Take
advantage of the opportunities
offered- They should be made use
of in the right way. Used in the
wrong way they may be a hinder-
ance. Be vigilant; ready to catch
every bit of knowledge that will
be useful in making the grade.
Perform your duties thoroughly.
Never leave them half finished.
Let good habits take the place
of bad ones. Do your best in all
that you do, and the best will
come back to you.
Sports.
Meridian Yellow Jackets staged
a sensational game Thanksgiving
to win a 13-12 victory over Cran-
fills Gap Lions.
Several hundred fans, including
former students, teachers, and
coaches gathered at the Wasp field
to see the game of the season for
the Jackets.
The Lions broke the ice in
the later part of the first quarter
when they scored the first touch-
down.
Later in the second quarter
Burch broke loose for a run of
about 75 yards to score for the
Jackets. Rickard counted the ex-

MERIDIAN. TEXAS
Wyatt McFadden, of Port Ar-
thur, spent the Thanksgiving holi-
days with relatives and friends
in Meridian and Clifton. While
here Mr. McFadden inspected the
new coui-thouse and said that he
was delighted with the splendid
improvement.
BIG SPECIALS
ON "B" BATTERIES
He was at the fountain
counter making a purchase.
"You see," he said, "I'm buying
this for my wife."
"A surprise, eh?"
"I'll say so. She's expecting a
Packard."
Two darkies were talking about
the depression. "Boy," said one,
"what would you do if you had all
de money in de worl, right now?"
"Well, suh," replied the other,
"Ah reckon Ah'd pay hit on mah
debts—fuh as hit would go."
Wife: "No I did not sew a but-
ton on your trousers; I was too
tired. Which is the more impor-
tant, anyway—your wife, or your
trousers?"
Husband: "Well, there are places
I can go without a wife."—

son, star player of the Lions, scor-
ed again.
Then Rickard, outstanding play-
er in this section of the county,
intercepted a pass and ran 50
yards to bring the score to 13-12.
After several line smashes in the
fourth quarter, the game ended
with the Jackets one of the best
teams in class C conference.
After the football season has
ended, let us see what the Basket-
ball girls are doing. They hope to
match a game in the near future
so watch those girls.
Volley-ball is becoming quite a
fad for the students and both boys
and girls have organized teams.
Classes.
Although the Sophomores en-
joyed their holidays, they are all
glad to be back in school again.
They are studying with renewed
energy and expect to make some
good grades. Their first book re-
ports in English are due next week.
This work will be written and some
fine papers are expected.
After having a turkey and all
the trimmings during Thanksgiv-
ing holidays, the Juniors are glad
to get back to school work. They
wish to accomplish all the work
possible before the Christmas holi-
days in order that they might en-
joy them also.
The Seniors began their Thanks-
giving holidays with a weiner roast
Wednesday night at the lake.
Everyone participated in the
fun and frolic. To add to the fun,
Reuben Lumpkin, assisted by Irene
Ladwig, preformed a few "Fred
Astaire-Ginger Rogers" steps to
the accompaniment of Robert Avi-
rett's portable.
After Imogene Owens yelled,
Let's eat," everyone scampered
for the food which disappeared
surprisingly quick.
Those attending this gala af-
fair were Tommy Hix, Elmo Bass,
Bonnie Faye Miears, Doris Jogen-
son, Imogene Owens, Robert Avi-
rett, Clifford Terry, Reubin Lum-
kin, Bobbeye Powell, Sue Golden,
Johnie Crenshaw, Annie Mae
Goodall, Irene Ladwig, Joe Dalton
Rickard, Kelcy Yale and also a few
visitox*s.
The Seniors are really planning
some entertainments for the fu-
ture. It is not long until Christ-
mas. After that, school days pass
very swiftly so they have decided
not to let the time pass unevent-
ful.
The Home Ec. girls sold chili
and coffee in the City Hall Dec. 2,
and were pleased with the results.
The "Economizers" have decid-
ed to have their club meetings on
the first Friday in every month at
the noon hour. We select as our
motto: "Not what we have, but
what we use. Not what we see, but
what we choose."
Seventh Grade.
The Seventh grade was sorry to
hear of the death of Tom Porter's
uncle.
The students of the seventh
grade had the study of newspapers
for English this week. After each
of us printed a one-page news-
paper, we felt as if the High School
did not give the Meridian Paper
editors enough praise. We found
it to be hard job!
Our current events in civics are
much knowledge from them, be-
cause they help us in every sub-
ject.
Mr. York generously assisted
the seventh grade by showing them
how to set out rose cuttings. Our
first attempt was a failure. Some
day we hope to have a beautiful
rose garden for the students of
the high school.
Physical Education.
Mrs. Mangold gave a lecture to
the girls of Meridian High School
Tuesday, Dec. 7. Her talk was on
the health of our bodies, which in-
cluded cleanliness, proper food,
rest, and daily needs of our bodies.
Also compared our bodies to a
working machine, which needed
attention and care as any mechan-
ism of the business world does.
The girls appreciated this talk
for it raised the value of their
bodies in their own minds and as
that is the first essential of hap-
piness, we feel that we have gained
a great deal from this lecture.
Tuesday Bridge Club.
The Tuesday Bridge Club was
entertained by Mrs. A. R. Dunlap
this week.
High awards for the evening
were presented to Mrs. Sherill Ben-
son and Miss Mary Lou Robert-
son.
Those enjoying the courtesy
were Mms. Bob Gill, Sherill Ben-
son, Bon Chiles, Howard Horn-
buckle ; Misses Lila Smith, Mary
Lou Robertson, Thresa and Word-
na Benson and the hostess.
