INTERESTING FACTS
Tattler Detective Finds
“Mushy” Notes On Floors
Of Building.
To the gentle observer it would
perhaps seem as if the students of
W. H. S. were good, hard work-
ing students but by a little “Sleuth-
ing” one can discover that many
are sentimental and affectionate
in the extreme, and by the notes
found on the floors of the class
rooms, many high school romances
come to light (To some, perhaps
many of us, from embarassment
the names are ommited.)
This note is evidently from one
girl to another:
“Did you see who.................. was
riding around with Sunday? Of
all the people, I thought she would
be the last. Well it’s a queer
world after all. She does wTear
cute clothes and all that but I nev-
er thought he would fall for her.”
The reply was written on the
other side of the paper:
Yes, I saw them, and I think
they made a cute couple. I be-
lieve you are jealous of...............
Another in which the boy is de-
sirous of a date:
“Listem....................., what are you
going to do Friday night?”
(Answer): “I really haven’t
made any plans, Why?”
(Answer): “Well, there’s going
to be a good show at the Grand
and if you’d like to go, why I'll
drop around about 8:00, Heh?”
The remaining of the note was
torn off and whether the date was
made or not is not known.
Another was written by an as-
piring football captain, (Not Pig
or Hooker) It had the position of
the men, the signals and the plays
that were to be used. Evidently
he was preparing for an important
game.
These are only a few that may
be found on the floors, so lets be
careful of our “Notes” and “Be-
ware of the Detention Hall.”
Installment Will Secure De-
cember Discount Offered
By Southwestern En-
graving Company.
In order that the discount for
early shipments may be secured,
the first installment of annual
work, consisting of Junior ana
Senior and faculty pictures was
sent off Saturday. This first in-
stallment will secure the Decem-
ber discount offered by the South-
western Engraving Company,
states Anna Bess Meyers, editor of
the Burro.
“The next part of this install-
ment will be sent within the next
few days, so that the discount will
ibe received. There remain a few
pictures to be taken, as yet, but
the majority of them were finish-
ed on Monday of this week,” the
editor concluded.

DRY GOODS
(By Roy E. Story)
Great flocks of birds are home-
ward bound,
The bat sends forth his cry;
Amid the rustling of the leaves
o’er my head,
The breeze seemed to moan and
sigh.
The sky is bathed in a bright
yellow glow,
With scarlet beams mingled
within;
The great purple mountains seem
to stretch forth their arms,
Ready for night to begin.
The bright sphere sinks lower
beyond the blue haze,
Dawning an entirely new shape;
It differs in colors from yellow
and gold,
To a bright scarlet folded to
drape.
As the white clouds sail by n
their northernly route,
It brings me a vision so clear;
Of fleecy white sheep on a blue
mountain side,
Of a shepherd who watches so
near.
At last whe nthe great round
sun has set,
Like a lamb led to its fold;
I sit and gaze at the white
clouds going by
Like linen cushions bordered with
gold.
The last ray is dying as it sinks
out of sight,
From the world and all of its
cares;
Its day’s work is done of lighting
the world,
And answering someone’s pray-
Houston School cleared $15.00 on
the pet show. First prizes of 50
cents were awarded to the follow-
ing students:
Dogs—Grady Howard.
Cats—Metta Hamilton.
Canaries—Morris Smith.
Guinea Pigs—Ottis Day.
Chickens—Benton Baker.
The money cleared will be
for class disbursements..

Students of Latin classes have
been dramatizing short stories and
plays which they have been study-
ing in the classroom. They have
been finding much added interest
in the interpreting of these le-
gends”, their instructor, Miss
Laura Wallace said.
The IB Latin class dramatized
“Ceres and Persephone” at the
seventh period Friday. In the
first scene, Persephone, (Mille
Fearis) was dancing and singing.
In the midst of her song, Pluto
(Bilie Hazlewood) seized her and
carried her away to the under-
world. Ceres (Juanita Johns) the
mother of Persephone, and the god-
dess of grain, came out seeking
her daughter. A Roman woman
(June Lawrence) called to Ceres
and asked her to aid her brother
who was ill. Ceres cured the baby,
when she placed the baby on the
hearth, the mother, Metenira
(Marie Mathis) quickly grabbed it
up. As a result of this Ceres would
not make the child a god but de-
clared that he would be a success-
ful man.
After the baby was made well,
all the family and Ceres feasted,
reclining on couches at the Roman
table. When the evening meal
was over, the family gathered to
build a miniature altar and temple
where they made a sacrifice to
the gods and goddesses.
