Hornets Divide
Games With Kress
The Tulia High School girls
defeated tho lassies from Kress
Saturday night 115 2D on the
Hornets own floor
At tho end of the first half
Kruss had 10 20 hut tho Hornets
fought viciously during the third
quarter and ovccranio tho lead
established by Kress
Ruby Vnught foulrd on after
playing a splendid game at guard
Xeva Arterburn adopted the They
shall not Pass attitude and suppressed
the further scoring ot
Kress
Rudeno Rutherford and LaDeen
Mitchell plryed an inspiring game
Captain LaDeen scored continously
during the latter stages of the
game assisted by Rudone they
finally made a sufficient lead to
win by a comfortable margin
Amy Burrow playing her last
game for T H S displayed talent
which is hard to find Blanche
Spear did a neat job of passing
tail showed fine floor work
In the last few moments ot tho
bitterly contested duel Ouida
Sefton who had taken Ruby
Vaughts position at guard teamed
with Xeva Aterrburn with two
personal fouls each fought
desperately to hold the lead which
they had gained
This contest furnished the entire
evenings entertainment since the
boys contest was one of poor
playing and overconfidence on the
part of the Hornets
Kress displayed an improvement
while tho Hornets were in the
worse slump of the season Kress
won 22 IS in the last conference
game of the season

Station F1SII now taking tho
air sometimes its a gale on assigned
frequency of quite a few
bad kilocycles in fact most of
them wo extremely rotten
Salutations dear classmates and
hows every little thing Aw now
I sincerley hope its okay
Dear mo suz Can you imagine
the nlco little town of Tulia turning
into a real Hollywood I dont
blame you much I cant either but
anyway believe it or not we Freshmen
have a Will Rogers Jr within
our midst Why even our touch
ers tell us that he talks just like
him Poor boy if this ever gets
out to the girl 1 sure pity him
But Im certainly afraid it will for
anyone that goes around using hn
guago as he does is sure to bo
spotted
My my and jny tho other day
all tho student body had gathered
in chapel to hear a t ti > speak un
being kind to dumb animals Wel >
his speech went along jiiat fine
for about fifteen minutes lei he
began pointing out oenaiii su
dents to answer his iiesiirns Tho
talk of his not being of any particular
Intel est to in > hau jtisi
Kind of rocked lie off in o u deep
doze Well I was suddenly awak
boy Could you answer this question
If I were going down the
street and saw a man boating a
donkey with a club and made him
stop what virtue would I be showing
I knowing something hid to
be said by me just answered out
brotherly love before I could
think what I was doing Take it
from me hereafter Ill always think
about a half dozen times before I
speak once
One day not very long ago one
oC Mr Bakers lab students spill
ed a strong acid on his coat He
immediately pulled it off and ran
into the room where Mr Baker
was He asked Mr Bnker what to
do with it Mr Baker thinking ho
could weaken the acid went into
the other room and picked up the
coat Well uhout the best thing
I know to do he replied looking
down where the acid had now
made numerous holes in it is to
throw it fway
The other day I having nothing
to do decided to walk down to the
doctors offile to see if anybody
new was silk Tho doctor and I
are particular rriends Well I sat
there a little while and a big stout
lady came walking in The doctor
offered her a chair and said to
her Miss Jones I have considered
your case thoroughly and have
decided you must go on i diet of
toast and oranges The lady looked
real calm like and said to the
doctor When shall I take it before
or after meals Boy I thot
I was going to burst right out
laughing but somehow I managed
to only turn right red in the face
When she left a man came in
looking like > best friend had
deserted h J asked the doctor
if ho e j give him a physical
examination Tho doctor
grunts kind a like and tolls him
to sit down Doc then went over
to got out his apparatus and pretty
soon ho came back and began
hii examination He first told tho
man to open his mouth and said
Mmm pretty bad case of daai
druff Xext ho took a light looking
outfit and looked in his ear
and said Not so good not so
good you have heart disease By
tills time tho man seomed peeved
and burst out suying Well If
you aire bo smart suppose you lookup
my sloovo and tell me what
size shoo I wear This just about
finished poor Doc
Can you beat it tho other day
r was in a department store and
v little girl cdiiio running up to
her mother M oxcltod like and
said Mother can I have a toolbox
for my fingernails liko thoy
got in tho showcase
1 guess thats enough foolishness
fur awhile anyway Now to get
down to real honest to goodness
facts By tho way tho Freshmen

Hint means that you are supposed
to give your best girl a big
fluffy Valentino Yot knowlittle
pieces of rod paper with whito paper
all around it preferably the
white paper should bo all cut to
pieces with lots of holes punched
In it with a little Ditty written
on it you know SSrosies 1
mean roses is red violets is bluo
an everything you know
Say by tho way you had better
not hang up the red flannels
yet that well known Mr Groundhog
either saw his shadow last
Thursday or else ho didnt come
out
I cant sec why someone doesn t
shoot that darn Ilawg and if th >
depressed condition of this grot t
nation founded by our forefathers
on this here continent Foui
scoro and ten years ago inunages
to keep on keeping on some poor
sap or whatever he might be

Did you hear the latest Mrs
Taylor almost had to go to Reno
tho other day when Mr D H
came in to dine Aftor lie had worried
down several pounds of bay
and grain pardon I thought 1
was talking of a baby beef anyway
pter he had eaten his meal
Mrs Taylor brought in ri pie
Hey yells D H Who spilled
mustard on this pie
Why how could you why that
is a lemon pie
Harold Butler was asked to tel
all his friends of a certain incident
so Hal says All right Ill
tell HER
I fa roo Lcldies and Gents the
depression will soon be over Donald
Sandy McBliar has decided
to turn some money loose he
in fact already has he fiive a
NICKEL to church last Sunday
Are thero imy more young ladies
who wish to put in an application
for tile ownership of that notorious
letter you know that letter I put
in here last week If there are you
had better hurry because it is in
great demand
Harold Butler is already show
ing signs of Spring
When you die dont leave a will
because where there is a will
theres a lawsuit
On behalf of me and Prof and
likewise also Ho faculty members
slid Mr McCown I would liko to
request that all the studes make
it a habit to not walk on tho lawn
which borders the si liool on ho
south This lawn was once green
but last years fUh fwhich are this
years Sophs werent green
enough green melt or hut gave
said lawn an overdose of Grey
matter thus Patrolman McCown
is on guard I might add this last
summer the fornathcrH of that
lawn starved nnd Its grandchild
inn who now inhabit the regions
south of T H > became discouraged
and burrowed themselves beneath
tho sod
I havo heard conversations lake
ly regarding tho school spirit
reigning over tho T H S student
body but I cant dlscovor tho
much talked of Spirit I think
this la ono of tho best schools in
tho state as far as literary work
is concerned but it is far down
tho list in roganl to athletic teams
Why Is it Wo have the materia
wo have the opportunity we havo
the teaching but in my estimation
thero are very low students
who havo any ltirest in anything
except to ninltc seventy per com
of their work and some dont do
that
I would be villiiu to say Hint
half of tho student body knows
nothing about ur basket ball team
of whom it Is coniiKMcd
A student entering thif school
from almost any ollior school
finds u dull monotony of study
provalllng over tho student body
T IT S s logical rival us I soo
It Is Canyon High School but It
Is a glorious occasion to tho fow
athletically Inclined to bout Happy
In some athletic contest
Happy or any othor school does
not havo uny Huperhunmns attending
to play against Tulia High
They usually uro wlnnors of tho
