PUBLISHED WEEKLY BY STUDENTS OF SHAMROCK HIGH SCHOOL
STUDENTS KNOW
PHYSICAL RATING
The students of the Shamrock
schools know exactly the number ot
pounds underweight or overweight,
conditions of mouths, eyes and num-
erous physical defects.
Through the courtesy of the phy-
sicians of our city, assisted by the
health nurse, every pupil,has been
■ examined. These health records
will filed and be a part of each
chlld s permanent record.
Mrs. James, president of the north
ward P.-T. A. started this valuable
movement. She was assisted by
County Superintendent Miller and
Guy Hill secretary-manager of the
Shamrock chamber of commerce.
We are indebted to these citizens for
their interest in our schools, and we
appreciate the co-operation of the
parents over the city in this work.

NORTH WARD NEWS
Claudine Southard and William
Ray Bass of the first grade were
the boy and girl of the North Ward
school to have the highest average
for the first semester, and are en-
titled to the prizes offered by Ba-
ker-Hanna Bros, the first of the
year.
We extend our thanks to the city
council and mayor for free water
given us for the beautification of the
North Ward play grounds. Trees
and bulbs will be planted in Febru-
, ary. Tire beautification of the school
, ground is being sponsored by the
North Ward P.-T. A.
All the children of the North
Ward have been examined by the
state health nurse. Parents who
have children with noticeable de-
fects have been notified and should
give this their attention at once.
The state nurse, who was obtain-
ed by the North Ward P.-T A. ha.'
been at work for about a week,
and we feel that a great deal has
been accomplished.
It was found that about 60 per
cent of the children have defects
which can be remedied.
Through our great generosity we
have consented for other schools in
town and in the county to receive
the benefit of this nurse.
We have decided the Scott sis1
ters are optimists. They have been
going around all week with their
saxophones under their arms, look-
ing for a room.

SENIORS MEET
The Senior class met Monday dur-
ing the noon hour for a brief busi-
ness discussion. Who would be the
man to deliver the commencement
address was discussed, but was not
fully agreed upon. Cards with cor-
rect styles for engraved cards to be
used with commencement invita-
tions were given out. These cards
will be ordered as soon a3 each
member brings his or her money to
the class president, Gerald Oeyer.
The Green Wave, which turned
out to be a Green Bubble, was punc
tured by a big, bad skyrocket to the
tune of 51-17 last week. This was
the best effort that Wellington has
put out toward us in several years.
When I first heard the score, I
thought it was a bridge score or
something, but it was basket ball,
ay! Wheeler beat us 10-9, Pump-
kin Center nosed out the Yanni-
gans 8-6, and basket ball went into
a slump. The one satisfying score
of the week was when the Irish dis-
played a wonderful come-back after
the Wellington “track meet" to
down the Pampa Harvesters 34-13.
After a pre-season 20-20 tie after
four extra periods, this game showed
that either the Irish have improved
or the Harvesters have slumped, or
both, or neither, take your choice.
The Texas Interscholastic League
sponsoring baseball as a high
school sport for the first time. The
schedules, eleglbllity rules, elimina-
tion for district title, etc., would be
almost the same as in Class B. foot-
ball. Every team in the conference
would play every other team, and
the team having the highest per-
centage of wins would be the dis-
trict champions, with the right to
meet the winner of an adjacent dis-
trict for the B. district crown. This
would be as far as the contests
would go, since school would be out
before they could go much further.
If the district committee decides in
favor of the question, we will have
baseball after its meeting which is
to be held soon. About the only
drawback to the question is that it
will interfere with spring football
and track, and that it would be ra-
ther expensive.
The Ionian Literary society enter-
tained the Athenian Literary Society
with a program Friday in assembly.
Billy Holmes, president of the Ion-
ian society gave the welcome and
the response was given by Kay Bry-
an, president of the Athenian so-
ciety. The first number on the
program was a song by both socie-
ties. Then Lenora Robertson gave
the purpose of the Ionian society. A
vocal solo, 'Painting the Clouds with
Sunshine,” was sung by Vivian Ben-
nett. A quartette was sung by Jack
Jummus, Herman B. Hill, Mabel
Clare McSpedden and Maurine May-
ifeld. A duet was played by Kath-
ryn Bowers and Blanche Usrey.
Everyone enjoyed the program
and the members of the Ionian Lit-
erary society will entertain the Ath-
enina society in the near future.

A BROKEN RESOLUTION
One of my resolutions was to be
patient and calm
In class no more to complain
I would go through the school year
without causing a tear
But all my good Intentions seem to
have been in vain.
No matter what happens.” I said,
“I will not lose my pink disposition
or fret
But that now I forgot, for to class
you did trot
And your lesson, not one of you did
get.”
I want to be gentle and kind
I've tried to be. day after day
Many vows I have made, not to
Mart a tirade
But I can't help it when such vows
disappear.
Now the vow to keep "pink” lies
broken and dead.
And that vow has scarcely beer:
"aired"
But what teacher can grin, when
she has to begin
The school day with an English
lesson unprepared.
Now VLL, Nos 1 and 2. help me.
I pray
I tell you I'm doing the best that
I can
Dally vows I repeat to keep "roay“
and sweet
And not be such a fussy woman.
But you're making my struggle quite
hard
A truth, which for you I'm trying
to scribble
For my temper gets hot: when your
lessons '01111 got."
And your lessons this morning were

noun “femina”.
Louise: I decline with pleasure.
Visitor: How old is your son, Hol-
mes?
Mrs. Brannon: Well, he’s reach-
ed the age where he thinks the
most important thing to pass isn’t
an examination, but the car ahead.
