PERSONALITY
Our personality sketch for
this week happens to be a -
handsome 6 foot sophomore |
boy. He lettered this year as
right end in football and is
co-captain of our basketball
team. In case our unknown
personality hasn’t been guess-
ed. tie is Benny Sinclair. If
you ure a student of MHS or
read the Yellow Jacket you
know Benny has many admir-
ers and 95 per cent are girls.
Last year he was elected fresh-
man favorite and it seems as
he is a favorite of everyone.

PEGGY BRAY’S
BLUE JEAN PARTY
It wasn’t unusual to see al-
most everyone in blue jeans
Saturday night. Bray’s barn
was their destination. Upon
entering the bam door each
person’s shoes were remeved
leaving a very peculiar sm--.
Pop corn was popped and
marshmallows were toasted in.
the fireplace and drinks were
served to the many guests.
Dancing and games were en-
joyed. Why did Johnny Mack’s
face turn red during one of
the many games? The party
broke up about 9:30 and
everyone went to see “Fran-
kenstein.”

ANOTHER PARTY

together Wednesday night. Re-
freshments were served to

eleven.
The CHIROPRACTOR-and You

CASE HISTORY NO. 541
A former athlete who had
been forced out of sports by an
apparent injury to the left
knee. The knee gave great pain
whenever the limb was exerted,
even in walking. For 7 years the
condition persisted, and in the
patient’s own words: “I spent
a small fortune trying to get
the knee fixed but no luck.” A
few weeks ago the patient read
Article No. 2 of this series and
visited a Chiropractor. Analysis
revealed a pinched nerve in the
knee which was traced to a dis-
placement of a segment of the
spine. A series of adjustments
realigned the spine, released the
pinched nerve and thereby re-
moved the cause of the pain.
CASE HISTORY NO. 37
A prominent business man
who suffered from severe head-
aches at frequent intervals. Had
a great difficulty in obtaining
sleep. Physical examinations
had failed to reveal any abnor-
malty, and the headaches and
sleeplessness were put down to
“nervous tension.” However,
during a particularly severe
headache he was persuaded to
visit a Chiropractor. A spinal
adjustment was given and the
headache ceased almost imme-
diately. Chiropractic analysis
revealed an acute condition of
constipation due to interference
with the nerves suppying the
intestines. The interference
was removed by spinal adjust-
ment, and as a result bowel ac-
tion became natural and the
headache went.
CASE HISTORY NO. 16
A munitions worker suffering
from severe “gas pains” in the
stomach. Constipation and viol-
ent headaches were present Ac-
tually afraid to eat because of
the distress that followed. Had
not worked a full day for seven
months when he brought his
case to a Chiropractor. Pres-
sure on the nerves controlling
the action of the stomach was
located in the spine. Chiro
practic adjustments relieved
fhe pressure and within a short
time nature restored the diges
tive rhythm to normal.
WHY YOU ARE ILL
Chiropractors have found
that illness and disease are
most often caused by pressure1
upon the nerves which carrv
vital nerve force from the
brain to various parts of the
body. The nervous system ra-
diates from the spinal column,
and it is here that even
slight pressure from a displac-
ed segment of the spine can
impede the flow of nerve force
from the brain, thus interfer-
ing vitli the function of one
or more parts of the body.
This nerve interference can be
located accurately by the
Chiropractic technique. The
Chiropractor can then remove
the pressure by a simple ad-
justment with his hands on-
ly. Drugs and surgery are no!
employed. Once the cause of
the illness is removed, nature
itself restores the affected part
to normal.
NEW YEAR’S EVE DANCE
If you happened to pass the
Country Club New Year’s Eve
and won&ered what was hap-
pening, why didn’t you stop.
We were dsJhcing out the old
year and dancing in the new
one.
The dance was given by
Ann Lukenbill and was thor-
oughly enjoyed by everyone.
Many visitors and ex-students
home for the holidays attend-
ed. At eleven o’clock the
guests were served punch and
individual cakes with 1949 on
them. The room was gaily
decorated with crepe paper
streamers and balloons. At
twelve o’clock “Auld Lang
Syne” was played and all the
boys could be seen dancing
and kissing their dates.
We want to thank Ann again
for a lovely time.

THIS WEEK IN
AGRICULTURE
We have been studying soil
groups, after learning what
kind different groups are
made of, we went to find the
various types. By the use of
a soil auger we can tell where
the top-soil and the sub-soil
meet. We found one type of
soil that is not found in many
places in this section.
By determining the types of
soil, one can tell what type
of crops can be grown on the
different sections of the farm.
This is important as to grow-
ing the right kind of crops to
build up the land.
During the holidays Mr.
Cole went to Lufkin to get
some pine seedlings, which
will be a great asset to the
land in later years as they
grow into a forest.
—MHS—
FHA NEWS
Articles were made in class-
es before the holidays to sell
at a Bazaar. Money made was
put in our treasury.
Gifts were exchanged and
refreshments were served at
our chapter meetings before
Christmas.
The activities of this week
have been finishing class and
home projects for the semester
as mid-term examinations will
be held next week.
Miss Doris Williams spent
the past week in San Angelo,
Texas.

NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTIONS
Every year about this time
some people make promises, or
as they are called, resolutions.
Most people know even as they
make them they are going to
break them. Here are a few
made by some of our stud-
ents:
Kenneth Rhodes: I resolve
Lo read my Literature lesson
once.
Sissy Maone: I resolve never
to look at a boy again (ex-
cept a red-head).
Jane Willis: I resolve to
arise before eight o’clock in
the morning or ten o’clock on
week-ends.
Yellow Jacket Reporter: I
resolve to have all articles in
on time.
Tommy Barrett: I resolve to
not make New Year’s resolu-
tions.

ANOTHER PARTY
Lvonne Claybcurn entertain-
ed a group of her friends with
a New Year’s party Friday
night, after the basketball
game. Table games were play-
ed and later in the night they
were entertained by playing
records and dancing. Sand-
wiches, punch, and cookies
were served. With the song,
“Auld Lang Syne” they watch-
ed the old year go out and
welcomed the new one in.
With the new resolutions of
true friendship, they bid each

mon is singing “South Amer-
ica, Take Me Away” instead
of “South America, Take It
Away.”
We hate to see Ruth Win-
nett move.
It seems to have been lonely
holidays for Sara. Could it be
that Charles wasn’t here?

Dona what did the letter

It seems that Sharon’s fav-
orite is a certain sophomore.

11 wearing number 12.
