Trophy Cups
| The recent success of Sintnn
j High School in carrying off cups of j Rowlctts, Kentucky,
j all sizes, shapes,, and ^peciycations David Peel had .charge
jHas revived an interest in the.tro-
phy cups which the school po-
| ssesses. The Scribblers’ Club, an

rangements.
Among out of town friends pres-
ent were, Mrs. -B. Uzzell, Mr.-and
j outstanding organization which has Mrs. Joe Longirio and son, Mrs.
Heretofore sponsored several worth-
j while projects, took upon itself the
('work of polishing the old trophies
in the_ iifJlary. Much of the bril-
liancy ha*s been restored to the old
cui>s through the use (if silver pol-
ish. soft rags, and elbow- grease;
and the ancient trophies,-some of
which dhte back '.tq 1919, shine
forth in long-forgotten' splendor.
The Student .body should give their
hearty endorsement and assistance
to any campaign for the purpose of
to-display the honors won. by Sin-
purchasing a trophy case in which
ton .High School in'past and. pres-,
ent years.
Guess Who?
This Senior is certainly pleasing
to the eye. Her slenderness, brown
hair, and harmonious features make
a pleasant, combination. She is an
adept .scholar; and- has represented
Sinton High School at Kingsville
recently, but a great deal of her
fame lies in her ability as an eques-
trian.

I HAD A LITTLE HAMMER
Sinton was true to the football
team’s name Friday when they
brought back six loving cups from
the Music Meet at Kingsville. The
groups or . individuals winning
these cups v*c-re the Boys’ Glee
Club, Boys’ Quartette, Girls’ Sex-
tette, Girls’ Glee Club, Mr. Beeler’s
String ensemble, and Edward Vo-
gel playing cello.
I had a little hammer once;
With which I used to Strike,
And I went knocking everywhere
At folks I didn’t like.
I knocked most everybody,
But found it didn’t pay,
For when folks saw me coming
They went the other way.
I’ve thrown away my hammer now,
As -far as I could shoot;
And taken up the boosters’ horn
And you should hear it toot.
I’m glad I’m with the. boosters,
I like the way they do-;
And if you'll lay your hammer down
I’ll get a horn for you.
