THE LONE STAR GAS CO.

THE HONOR
ROLL
NUMBER 11
The Star Gas Company of Dallas,
is offering to the people of Llano,
Mills, Mason, San Saba and Lam-
pasas counties natural gas through
distribution in steel drums.
R. F. Foster, Central Texas rep-
resentative for this concern was in
Lampasas the first of the week and
stated their method of distributing
gas in drums instead of pipe lines had
proven satisfactory wherever intro-
duced and availed that particular ter-
ritory with a cheaper and more con-
venient service.
Through this means of distribution
this representative explained that it
made it available for the farm homes
as well as the towns and cities and
was meeting with popular demand
wherever introduced.
This drum gas is called Stargas
and is used for cooking, refrigeration,
water heating, lighting and small
room heaters.
Gartman Music Shop is Lampasas'
representative for this new concern
and from this place of business these
gas drums and modern natural gas
appliances will be kept.
The Dallas Company feels that once
its product has been introduced in
this territory, it will meet with the
same popular approval and patron-
age as in other places which the
company has already been serving
for a long while.
The rate for this Stargas service
is the same as in Dallas County for
the same type of service.
JACK PEARL MAKES TALKIE
BOW IN “MEET THE BARON”
“Meet the Baron,” hilarious mix-
ture of comedy, lilting musical num-
bers, and spectacular color, serves
to bring to the screen Jack Pearl,
famous “Bai’on Munchausen” of ra-
dio, who with Jimmy Durante goes
through a series of hectic adven-
tures in a girls’ college in the new
Metro-Gojdwyn-Mayer laugh classic
coming Sunday and Monday to the
Leroy Theater.
The new picture boasts the most
remarkable all-comedian cast ever
assembled. Pearl, internationally
famous, Jimmy Durante, of “What!
No Beer?” and other hits of the
screen, Zasu Pitts, famous come-
dienne, Ted Healy and his hilarious
stooges, Edna May O.liver of “La-
dies of the Jury” fame, Ben Bard,
Henry Kolker and William B. David-
son have featured roles in the com-
edy which was directed by Walter
Lang, who filmed the successful
“Warrior’s Husband.”
In addition there is a vivid ballet
of “collegiate cuties” playing college
girls and staging the sensational
“Dance of the Shower Bath” in the
production.
The story opens with Pearl as
Julius, valet of the real Baron Mun-
chausen, and Durante as his other
servant. When the real baron wants
to go into hiding he has the valet
pose as himself, and Durante as his
manager.
New York acclaims them. Pearl
broadcasts. The two worthies are
taken to the girls’ college to lecture.
Then all kinds of contretempts, in-
cluding a love affair with the head
chambermaid, the unmasking of “The
Baron,” his sensational radio offer,
and finally his reunion with his
sweetheart figure in an amazing se-
quence of utter absurdities.
The highlights include his broad-
cast, assisted by Ben Bard in the
role of “Sharlie,” his triumphant en-
try amid showers of ticker tape and
telephone book pages in New York,
the screamingly funny “escape” in
the jungles, the spectacular entry of
Pearl and Durante riding an elephant
at the girls’ college, the “Shower
Bath” dance of the beautiful girls,
the hectic love sequence in the ice-
house of the college kitchen where
Pearl and Zasu Pitts make love and
freeze simultaneously, the “Repair”
scene in which Ted Healy and his
stooges play the “Anvil Chorus” on
the college plumbing, the exposure
of the valet by his Cousin Sophie,
and other hilarious details interspers-
ed with musical novelties by Jimmy
McHugh and Dorothy Fields.
Mrs. F. J. Harris, Emanuel Tum-
linson, W. G. Probst, Harry Moses
and Doyle Stubblefield are spending
the week end in Belton with friends
at Baylor College.

USING ONE’S SPARE
TIME WELL
Are you using your spare time in
a profitable way? Your whole school
career depends on just that, especially
now, the week before six-weeks ex-
aminations. Many students complain
that the teachers give them too much
work to bring up and assign too
many books to read to give them a
chance to study for their exams. Is
it the teacher’s fault if you haven’t
kept up your reading that was as-
signed each day and wait until the
very last minute to study for the
examinations? To be a good student
one has to work during each day and
week of the year, and thus eliminate
cramming during the last week.
There are many profitable ways of
using one’s spare time without ne-
cessarily studying. For instance,
reading books that will be helpful to
you in later life. Those who enjoy
spor-ts like to be out of doors in their
spare time. Let’s make our leisure
time worth while to us and/ accom-
plish something by keeping up each
day’s work as we go along.
T. J. Childers: See that man? Well,
he’s six feet in his boots.
Lewis Walker, G’wan, you don’t
expect me' to believe that. You
might as well say he’s six heads in
his hat.
The Senior^Fish eleven defeated
the Junior-Soph team 27-0, Wednes-
day afternoon, on the high school
gridiron in a football game that will
go down in the history of the school.
The outstanding plays of the game
were 82 and 83 yard runs for touch-
downs made by Yarbrough and Bul-
lion. The other two touchdowns were
made by passes from Yarbrough to
Rush and from Rush to Yarbrough.
Extra points were scored by running
passes and a placement kick.
Although the Senior-Fish team was
the victors, the Junior-Soph boys
played a good hard fought battle.
Buster Smith, junior, was the out-
standing player of Junior-Sophs.
He made consistent gains around end
the entire game and played well on
defense. The outstanding players of
the Senior-Fish team were the entire
backfield. The line-up for the game
was:
Senior-Fish—Cockrell, e; Baker, t;
Fitch, g; Perry, c; Morgan, g; Word,
t; Smithwick, e; Moses, q; Yarbrough,

TOO MUCH TURKEY
FOR KENNETH
“And, now, little boys and girls of
radioland, may you have pleasant
dreams about the big turkey and all
the other good things to eat that you
will have for your Thanksgiving din-
ner,” were the last words Kenneth
Brown heard on the night before
Thanksgiving.
It you think Kenneth did not dream
about that turkey and dressing, you’re
badly mistaken. When he awoke the
next morning he was glad that this
astic sports now that the football
season is over. The football game
between the seniors and freshmen vs.
the juniors and sophomores has al-
most caused a civil strife between
the classes and the teachers. Each
teacher is rooting for his own class
and in the study hall Wednesday
morning Miss Lemberg, the senior
sponsor, had a few words for Mr.
Rowntree and Mr. Moore in retort to
their statement that they were root-
ing for the juniors and sophomores.
The girls also organized pep squads
for the teams. It seems as if some
of the, girls are going to have a hard
time staying loyal to their own class.
On account of the Lometa game
being played here Friday, some of
the boys could not take part in the
inter-class football but if another
game is decided upon they will be
able to play.
For the seniors and freshmen Or-
ville Rush, Ellis Bullion and Bob
Yarbrough will constitute the reg-
ular backfield wljile Buster Smith,
Jewell Jones, Bonner Stach and Mar-
vin Davis play for the juniors and
sophs.
Interclass athletics have never
proved very popular in L. II. S., but
if these games are successful there
will be many more to follow.

WHY TEACHERS TURN GREY
Non-control of the arguing pc^ver
of the Dickason boys, Marvin -and
Frank.
The inevitable passing around of
little white notes in the study hall.
N. D. G., C. S., F. Y., and A. M. are
the chief note writers.
Jessie (Haggard) S. always minus
a prepared lesson in any class.
Orville Rush’s chewing g u m.
(Enough said).
The row of back sliders in study
hall, meaning the students who sit
on the 6th row and always sit with
backs against the wall. Maybe they
are wall flowers; that is, some of
at 1:30.
Splits, groans and puffings were i them,
heard by Howell, who was in the ; The jumbled up
next room, when Kenneth tried to
arise from his chair.
Instead of playing with Howell,
Kenneth was put to bed with the hot
water bottle. A few minutes later
the pains began to lessen and he
dropped into a heavy slumber.
“Ouch! help! Donjt hurt nfoj! I
promise that I will never eat any of
your children or your grandchildren,
or any of your ancestors, Mr. Tur-
j key Gobbler, if you will only turn
j me loose,” shouted poor Kenneth in
j his sleep.
desks in all the
classrooms with movable seats.
Little scraps of paper all over the
floors even if they are picked up ev-
ery period. The students must liko
imitation snow.
Alma Wells’ parading up and down
the study hall aisles.
Students facing the wrong way in
all classes.
All these things help make the
teachers turn grey early, but they
seem to be standing the strain very
well even with all of these compli-
cations.
HOW TO MAKE A HIT
WITH YOUR TEACHER
1. Never hand in your written as-
signments so the teacher will not
have so many papers to grade.
2. Flirt with all the girls, because
this will create a romantic atmos-
phere in the classroom.
3. Always chew gum in class be-
cause the teachers like that “smack-
ing” noise.
4. Never come to class more than
once a week so when you do come
you will be more appreciated.
5. Contradict your teacher. This
will make you better acquainted with
him.
6. Save your wisecracks and amus-
ing stunts until you are in class as
they will add a spirit of joy and
mirth to the classroom.
DAILY QUESTIONS
There are a few questions that can
be heard any period out of the day
or any day out of the year in school.
| The following are a few of the ques-
! tions that one hears during a cer-
I tain study hall period:
A senior—“Have our class rings
come in yet? When will we get
i them ?”
The pep squad—“Are we going to
| have a drill this Friday? Well,
when are we going to practice?”
The Band—“Are we going to play
for the football game ? What music
will we need?”
American history student—“What
is our lesson for today? Did you
work your map book? May I bor-
row it?”
Marvin Dickason—“Do you know
how many drops of water there are
in the ocean, or do you want me to
tell you?”
Christine Davis—“Can you go
down town with me after school to
get a few things for Mother?”
Jessie Standard—“Have you seen
these pictures of my nephew? Isn’t
he cute?”
Mr. Rowntree—“Where are you go-
ing? Do you have permission to be
out here?”
Orville Rush—“Who, me? Did I
get him told?”
Entire student body—“Oh yeah!”
THE CHATTERBOX
I heard Mr. Moore say that Ellen
May was making a hurdler out of
Cliff. Cantrell. How was she doing
it? By making him step over her
feet, you silly. Of course he didn’t
want to step on them.
I wonder what’s wrong with Bob
and Gweneth now ? Haven’t you no-
ticed the difference. I’ll tell you
what I heard. I heard Gweneth tell
Bob she returned his affection. 1
wonder if she didn’t like his affection
any more, but when she said it they
acted like they were very happy.
Mary F. told me that the last
time she saw Ernest she left him in
peace. Inn’t that too bad, and they
were so nice together. You don’t
seem to catch on. I don’t see any-
thing funny in that. They must have
had an awful fuss if she left him in a
piece. I guess she just tore him up.
1 knew any good wouldn’t come from
that red hair.
Miss Lemberg has the best opin-
ion of Orville R. now. Don’t you
think so? Why, she says the nicest
things about him. The other day
he was acting crazy, you know how
he does. Well, Miss Lemberg leaned
over and told me, in a very confiden-
tial manner, “That certainly is a case
for chloroform, isn’t it?” Wasn’t
that cute of her to say it about him?
Oh well, we can’t all be such favor-
ites.
PLAYER RECEIVES INJURY-
J. B. Allen, Badger guard, was in-
jured in the last minute of play in
Friday’s game with Brady. His
shoulder was pulled out of place.
i MINNET HALLMARK
ENTERS SCHOOL
Minnet Hallmark, freshman from
Leander high school, registered Tues-
day, Nov. 21. He is taking general
science, algebra and English 8.
Minnet stated that he liked this
school very much and that he intends
to be here permanently.
LIFE’S DARKEST MOMENTS
School days are the happiest days
but even good things have their
cloudy moments. So it is with L.
H. S. students.
“When Mother read a note I re-
ceived at school, I thought I’d die,”
said Marie Yarbrough when inter-
viewed on this subject.
Clifford Cantrell says that he can’t
remember anything about it, but he
believes his darkest moment was his
wreck in Austin.
“My darkest moment was after the
tacky party when my artificial
freckles would not come off.”—Ellen
May Bailey.
Maurine Greeson says that every
day when she goes home at noon and
does not find a letter for her she
has a very dark moment.
Orville Rush declared that his
darkest moment was the time he got
into a car to drive off and discovered
he was in the wrong car. Was he
mortified ?
It is a proven fact that Kenneth
Brown’s darkest moments come when
he has to turn his music book at
band practice.
“Life’s darkest moment for me was
the time I spilled chicken in another
person’s lap at a dinner party. Was
my face scarlet?”—Kathryn Harkey.
Dressed as a negro in a play,
Mary Eunice T. experienced her dark-
est moment—plenty dark!
“The darkest of my moments was
the time I was knocked down and
trampled over in the hall.”—Chris-
tine Davis.
SPECIAL DISLIKES OF
L. H. S. STUDENTS
The dislikes of L. H. S. students
are many and varied. Below are
listed several of them:
If there is anything that makes
Maurine Greeson mad, it’s for some-
body to tell her they know some gos-
sip and then refuse to tell her what
;t is.
Kathryn Harkey can not bear the
sight of any kind of reptile. Snakes
and worms are her worst enemies.
“It makes me tired to hear anybody
mag about her ancestors,” said Ber-
lice Ellis.
Marie Yarbrough will not eat green
peppers cooked, raw or otherwise.
Alma Wells says she thinks baby
talk is awful. “Any boy or girl who
talks baby talk makes me sick,” she
said.
Kathryn Gartman dislikes dogs and
cats, “because,” she said, “they al-
ways give me hay fever.”
Can you imagine a boy who will
not eat his spinach? Well, Clifford
Cantrell won’t although he knows
what it has done for “Pop Eye.”
It makes Charley Sewell’s flesh
crawl to hear anyone scratch on glass
or the walls.
. Earl Lindsey can’t stand a two-
timing girl.
WHY STUDY?
The more we study, the more we
know;
The more we know, the more we
forget;
The more we forget, the less we
know;
The less we know; the less we
forget;
The less we forget; the more wo
know;
So why study?

FOOLISH FACTS
A bird with a car is worth two
on the hoof.
A woman is always perfectly will-
ing to give you half the road. The
trouble is she can’t.
America chewed 90 million dollars
worth of chewing gum last year.
That makes about two hunks for ev-
ery chair in the world.
