WHAT WE HAVE TO BE
THANKFUL FOR
In every age, there is someone
who must say, "I have nothing to be
thankful for. The government is go-
fiig to the dogs. All my business is
gone. We haven’t enough food.” Yes,
in our own United States, there are
people who have these crazy, inex-
plicable thoughts. Why? You ask
me why? I’ll tell you, it’s because
they are not satisfied. They should
at least be thankful that they can
say what they please without being
arrested!
In this wartorn world we should
thankful for ever so many
things; that we can still walk the
streets of our cities and towns with-
out being in constant fear of hear-
ing-the shrill blast of an air-raid
alarm! Do you think that I could be
(Aiting this or having it printed if
we were in Germany? No, of course
not but in America we have the
right to speak and do as we please.
When you think of all your friends
and mine fighting for us and for
war rights doesn't it make you want
to help? Can you get mad because
we haven’t as much sugar, coffee, I
and tires as we used to when our
boys are paying with their lives?
I^Once I tried to explain just what
America was or is, but you and I
can’t because there are no explan-
ations. This thing is too great, too
powerful to explain in words. You
must feel it from your heart and
^pul and then know how to be
thankful.
should give thanks for everything
; they own, and then there would be
no one who would not be thankful,
for this is your country
and we may only pray
keep it that way.

THANKSGIVING
Thanksgiving is here. Thanksgiv-
ing, our own American holiday, the
day on which we are thankful for
this country where there is laugh-
ter, the laughter of a free people.
Let us remember to laugh on that
day. Laughter and thanksgiving in
our hearts make a true Thanksgiv-
ing Day.
I wonder how many of us will
think on Thanksgiving Day of
thousands of foreign children who
are daily visiting garbage cans seek-
ing morsels of food, some of them
even dropping in the streets from
hunger.
How many of us are there, who
will feast on Thanksgiving and then
SHAMROCK DEFEATS
M’LEAN TIGERS 20-8
VICTORY GIVES LOCAL TEAM
SECOND PLACE HONORS
IN DISTRICT 3-A
on in the last three years in a con-
ference game. They are about the
size of Phillips so there will really
be a game here. This will be about
as good a game as the Wellington
I game was. There is going to be a
large crowd there so don’t miss the
game between the Irishmen and the
Indians.
Shamrock won their last confer-
ence game here last Friday night by
deefating the McLean Tigers by a
20-8 count. The game was the last
conference tilt for both teams.
The weather was cold and misty
and the wind was from the north.
Botlv of the teams were ready for
the kill and they knew what the
game meant for both of them. They
were friendly and they talked to
each other before the game began.
The game began about 8 o’clock.
Shamrock made the first touch-
down and the goal was made by
Dallas Clynch. During the third
sink down into our easy chair and quarter the Irishmen gave the Tigers
reach for the daily paper so as to I 2 point. The wind was so strong
read of the suffering others are
undergoing?
Wouldn’t it be a great thing for
both our health and the United,
States if we would spend half of
what we are planning for that big
Thanksgiving dinner on defense
stamps, so that our children will
never have to face starvation like
those who are being ruled by the
iiand of Hitler?

A THOUGHT OF YOU
Through the years, 1 am certain
all of you will have cause to remem-
ber advice given you by your par-
ents or counsellors. Personally, I re-
member a lecture by my Dad, when
I was your age and had rather care-
lessly remarked in reply to a ques-
tion about some other boy, “Oh, he’s
a friend of mine.”
My father quietly said, “Lad, is
he a friend or acquaintance? Re-
member you have many acquaint-
ances, but very few friends. Learn
to tell them apart or you will have
many heartaches and suffer count-
less disillusionments.”
Let me tell you that never have
truer words been uttered
man. DON’T MISPLACE
CONFIDENCE! DON’T BE TOO
FREE WITH YOUR FRIENDSHIP!
I am not advocating an isola-
that they could not kick so they
downed the ball behind the goal
line. If they had kicked the
Tigers might have made a touch-
down in the last half. The Irishmen
outplayed the Tigers throughout the
game.
There was no hard feeling toward
each other after the game. The
Irishmen will play the mighty hard-
hitting team from Oklahoma Thurs-
day. This team comes from a town
called Lone Wolf. They have won
their conference for the last three
years. They haven’t been scored
On November 26, 1942, everyone tionist attitude, but I am advocat-
ing a “go easy” policy when picking
friends, men or women—boys or
girls. Be pleasant, certainly, but
flon’t decide someone is a friend
just because he slaps you on the
back. He might be feeling for a
soft place to stick a knife in.
There is no half way point in
real friendship. You either are
wholeheartedly for someone in ev-
ery way and about everything and
he for you, or you are Just pleasant
acquaintances. Remember, you can-
not presume on an acquaintance-
by any j ship nor can you depend too much
YOUR on an acquaintance. I
A short definition of friendship
might well be "A practical applica-
tion of the Golden Rule by both
parties concerned.”

Imagine Your
Own Headline;
We Give Up!
Friday afternoon was really a riot,
and you students of S. H. S. know
what I’m speaking of—Hep-1-2-3-4-
5, shouts Louise Partridge and the
whole gang goes into “effect.” Lines-
man No. 32 (Lois DuBose) comes
running through—a great roar from
the crowd—zoom!! Here we go. All
of a sudden there is a big blare from
that little silver whistle and referee
Ruthie DuBose is waving her arms
like someone is (killing her). Whoa
you, Tigers!! Time out for the Irish
to powder their noses. (Lola Faye
draws out her famous red lipstick,
too.)
So on with the game, Lassies, and
power to you. Those McLean Tigers
really showed up! Special attention
was given to Barbara Scott when
she almost made a touchdown. But
lo and behold! Umpire Vaughan
and headlinesman Laycock find
fault with the playing and 15 yards
it is. (Oh well, what's a game with-
out some “penalizations?”)
Time flies (so does Kromer with
the ball, too) and it's time for the
half. This is no sissy outfit. I want
you to know that we had two bands,
too. The real hit of this event was
when Charlie Boston, the Sham-
rock cheer leader and Charlie Gregg
the McLean cheer lader, marched
with their respective bands. This re-
ally brought whoops from the crowd.
Three cheers for those boys for be-
ing such all round sports. The girls
even painted them with lipstick and
powder.
“Whrrrr” (poor imitation) goes
the whistle and here is the gang
again in a mud muddle. Well kids,
the Irish won 6-0. We all gave yells
for the Irish “atthewards.”
Oh yes, there’s the list of those
famous players:
IRISH
(Dallas Clynch) Nellie Exum, (R.
O. Lister) Lois DuBose, (Bill Beas-
ley) Betty Jo Burks, (Harold Will-
iams) Lola Faye Pennington, (Har-
old Lummus) Murta Jo Moore,

Coach Walker and Butch Crawford,
who carried the down-box, the show
would have been a flop. How about
more rallies like this, kids?
