be very interesting and will acquaint
them with customs of foreign coun-
tries.
The letters from pupils here will
be written in English and the ones
received will probably be written in
Spanish, Mr. Park said.
EUGENE KEY
WINS TURKEY
BADGER BABBLE
(By Millie)
Orville Rush, the tallest man on
the team, has shown his ability at
shooting goals. He has been high-
point man for two games and has a
total score at the present of 25 points.
Orville is playing center and is tall
enough to be a good one.
“Aub’ Brown, a shifty little guard,
is showing up very well and has sec-
ond place as high point man for this
season.
“Dynamite” Burns, who won fame
as a football player, is a fast for-
ward on this year’s basketball team.
Leland Priest, playing his first year
on the Badger team, is proving to be
a good forward. Leland came from
a rural school, and it takes those
boys to make a good basketball play-
er.
“Charles” Gillen, a freshman and
playing his first year, is showing up
like an old regular. Charles started
the game Wednesday night and prov-
ed to be a splendid floor guard.
Elwood Dunklin, who is playing
forward, is showing up well as a
forward.
J. R. Key, a guard has been sick
the past week and therefore could
not take part in the game of Wed-
nesday. “Cap” can guard well and
he will be seen in the games to come.
W. H. “Red” Berry is playing his
first basketball and was in the game
twice Wednesday night. “Red” is
playing guard and has plenty of
weight.
Charles Sewell, another rural
school boy, is playing on this year’s
team was out last game on account
of illness, but Charlie is playing- a
good game at forward and will be
in the games at later date.
Daniel “Flash” Bird is giving Or-
ville Rush a good fight at center and
if one wants to see speed just watch
the “Flash” sprint up and down that
floor.
It has been said that Bird trots
with one foot and runs with the oth-
er, well, now, he does not take time
to trot with one, he runs with both
^nd what speed.
Did you ever win a prize and later
find to your Amazement that you
were only even with the world? Mr.
Eugene Key did Tuesday at the Lions
club luncheon held at the high school.
Principal John Rowntree, the re-
nowned tail-twister, got up on the
stage and attempted to hold old Tom
Gobbler but received a good scratch-
ing and had to turn him over to Rev.
Avant. The tailtwister then sold the
chances at the turkey for the rea-
sonable price iof three for thirty-
five cents. Rev. A. F. Avant drew
a ticket and Mr. Eugene Key held
the lucky number. The turkey was
presented to him by Rev. Avant with
very much ado. Mr. Key developed
a grin spreading from ear to ear.
Then Mr. Wachendorfer asked Mr.
Moore, “Where did you buy that
turkey ? ”
Mr. Moore: “From Mr. Key.”
Mr. Wachendorfer: “Did you pay
for it?”
Mr. Moore: “No, I charged it.”
Mr. Wachendorfer: “Then Mr. Key,
since you have -won the turkey, take
it back and give us credit for it.”
And the crowd went wild as the
old tom rolled over and laughed for
dear life.
OLD L. H. S. STUDENT

here Dee. 5, after about a year’s ab-
sence. During this year he has at-

of the students, back with us.

fix them and put them on the tree.

and very nice gifts are being made
from this material. This work will
gladen many children’s hearts on
PRESENT COACH
SELECTS BADGER
The present mascot of the Lam-
pasas high school was selected by
none other than our own Coach Moore.
This mascot was selected in 1923 and
its name is the Badger.
The Badger was chosen because it
is an animal with a lot of fight. It
takes a lot of fighting to down a
Badger and the same can be said
about the boys on the teams that the
school has put out since 1908.
