OI K STUDIES
Tin-re's Noiviu* Cole again. For
g "iiliicss .-aki's! If she doesn't ilo
smile til' the funniest things. We
have .in idea that she ha? a certain
Junior hoy going around in circles,
but who would ever guess that she
al>. has h- r compass K«>i"g around
|in circles?
It's strange world after all! Try
to picture Mrtrgaret Cottle doing oth-
er than studying,
There's that new girl from Wat-
terson, Ethel Nile. The other day
The Bastrop "Beats" tied another
.'itme thio week. Their opponents
were the strong Caldwell Hornets,
llie Hears outplayed the Hornets
from start to finish registering 14
fir>t downs to Caldwell's three, How*
ver the score was tj.t!,
H«'th team- were he id scoreless the
first half with Bastrop in possession
of the hall most the time. 'I hey came
iiack strong at the half with both
teams determined to score. Just as
the gun sounded to end the third
quart't Freddie Wright, on i perfect
spin-play, flashed off tackle for 10
yards and a touchdown. Clyde Owens
missed the place kick by inches.
The Hornets came back in the four-
th quarter with a strong passing at-
tack. With two minutes to play the
Hornet half-back went around end
for '50 yards where he was stopped
on Bastrop's two yard line. After two
thrusts at Hie line they pushed over
for a touch down. The try for ex-
tra point was missed and the score
remained 0-0. The game ended with
Caldwell in possession of the ball
on their own 30 yard line.
Schanhal's bang-up blocking was
the feature of the game. This young
i certain young man was heard to j \ s I'|'iy'nK h.s first ^rarne in

School.
According to Bacon, studies served
for three purposes, namely; 1, tor
delight, 2, for ornament and 3, for
ability.
For delight he thought of yourself
entirely. He thought you should re-
tire to a room like a bachelor and
read solely for your1 own pleasure
and delight. This is still true even
in the present day. You know your
self that you receive a Kt'eai deal of
pleasure in shivering with the hero
in a dangerous adventure story, you
have your emotions aroused in a lyric
and feel like crying in a lamentable
story.
For ornament Bacon said, "studies
make you noticeable among your
friends."
For ability studies serve to make
your daily bread and butter.
A question is now before the Amer-
icans as to whether to adopt a voca-
tional education or to retain our
present form of a liberal education.
To enable evervone better to under-
but seldom find, you know

Scott has cut her hair and is very-
sensitive about it so BEWARE ! ! !
One old maid in the class is Ida
Ruth Bell, any time that, you look at
her she is pinning up that knot of
hair she has on the back of her head.
Hester Fay Kauffman did not play
ball Monday, 1 wonder if she didn't
receive her expected letter from Wil-
liam?
We i.ave all been wondering what
is the matter with Frances Ann's toe.
she has a big notch cut out of her
shoe.
Boy! is our Algebra hard? I think
the only one that will pass the course
is Rosalee Morris, who is our well

MEMBERS OF
SENIOR CLASS
The Senior Class is on tne air for
the fourth time. This time you will
hear something of some of the stu-
dents in the class—Clyde Owens is
making plans for his "depression" car
wonder if he will take us j-jding?
Could you tell me what "U.K" means
or must 1 ask Bill Lock ?
L. M. Ferlet is surely using per-
fume regularly. Audrey Whitworth
can tell you what kind it is and if
ahe can't Wilma Lent* can.
Grey Price sure mane a quick trip
to Utley last week—maybe he will
learn to be on time, because Ida Mae
Stone gets sleepy pretty early.
Now of what we are studying in
Spanish—We know all about the Im-
perfect and Subjunctive moods and
if you are from Missouri, we can get
Leslie McDuff and Bonnie Vest to
prove it for us.
JUSTAMONG
US JUNIORS
Intentions! Does everyone have
them? Well maybe everyone doesn't
but these wonderful Juniors do. We
•re all excited over the prospect of
•n exhibition of the antiques we have
brought to school. We are studying
American History and having bar-
rels of fun along with our studies.
Thut is just another case of business
made a pleasure. But really, we are
learning more from observation than
we could learn from the hook and
our History doesn't seem half so dry.
We intend to make a school exhibi-
tion of our antiques. We are going
to publish some of our stories about
these inter* sting articles, so watch
for them.
Mary Sue Gibson, America's own
fashion plate, is sporting an attractive
Mack and * hite string of beads and
• bracelet to match.
Purple! We wonder who thought of
that ridiculous color. Well, we don't
li^e it, but Shudde Bess Hryson sure
does. Maybe its because it brings
out the soft violet color of her bright
bluish green eyes!
You've heard of those times when
• study hall is perfectly quiet? Well
I just wondered if you had l>eeau*f
if you haven't, I'm not 'gonna' tell
you about that. Instead I'm goin' to
♦rll you about one certain time when
it isn't what you would exactly call
quiet.
Andrew Lee Fiser, who ha« been
digginir awav at his lessons, has lost
int*r"st in his books and is very
sweetly smiling at a certain plump
Soph, to think that he would notice
•n underclassman. Andrew Lee, we're
allocked.
I wonder how many of you noticed
the fiequent visits of a certain boy
to "Pete" \\ ameis desk? I wonder
what thev talk about? Here's hoping
a certain girl in the seventh grade
doesn't get mad. Look out Pete you
bad better be careful.
Those two Pruitt girls sit right to-
gether and we have a ringside seat
for the fight every day.
As it happened the girls were com-
pletely 'shut out" in the election of
class officers and they were begin-
ning to get "sore" because their
names didn't ever appear in print, so
that explains the reason for all the
talk about the "skirts."
POOR FISH
LIKE HOLIDAYS
I he "poor fish" appreciate the
chance to get out of this muddy wa-
ter of school life for a few days. They
wish there would be a few more in-
stitutes with four days off to our
good. Hut since that is impossible
we are looking forwards to Thanks-
giving when there will Ik- another
rest and a chance for us fish to flop
around in clear water again.
Since we have to wait until that
time comes I'll just let you know
what's going on in the study hall.
Grace Barker is all enthused over
some gentleman sitting in the opera
chairs.
Hazel Ann Hix is looking some-
thing up in the dictionary.
Vrna Simmons is grinning and
shaking her head at someone across
the room.
Bernice Price has a visitor now.
Who? Why ask such a question? You
might know it's that warty little Fer-
let boy. Why, the other day he stay-
ed at her desk so long the teacher
had to remind him that he was in
school arid that he was supposed to
return to his desk sometime that day.
Those two kids are the school's at-
traction, I'm telling you.
Well, call me a taxi! Martha Mon-
cure is studying for once. No, she's
Smith and Dolenger played the
ends iike professionals. These two
boys are developing fast and should
t>e the best ends in the district by
the end of the season.
Tne entire Bear eleven played
"heads-up" and showed a marked i
prowment over last weeks game.

advantage of these sandals is on 1* n-
day. trying to stomp the lime line
on the toot ball field. Warning: never
wear -andals to a football game, or
else have a private bath tub and a
plantation to Jeposite all loose grav-
el.
If Paris would visit the study hall
for a single period they would ob-
tain new and chic ideas for the vogue.
All costumes worn by student? arc
very nitty. How's this for style?
Red skirt, red silk tarn, white Rus-
sian blouse, black pumps and a big
grin. Give her the big hand, 'cause
she didn't look bothered at all.
The most entrancing outtit is a
tight fitting, white knit sport >uit
worn by Lucille Fisher, four days out
of the week. Wonder if she doesn't
know the white season is over? Tell
her somebody please!
Have you noticed the new sun-tan-
ned hose oh, a mistake—flesh! no
one c^n haip on this thuugh 'cause
they might get told on this subject.
A tailor-made answer may be pooped
back at you like a certain Superin-
tondant said to some complaining
teachers when they asked about the
"no hose" style. He comes back with
"Don't look at the legs, but into the
eyes." How's that for answers?
The shoe situation is worth pon-
dering over before you sink a lot of
money into what may he the wrong
kinds. About two-thirds of tho
girls at any school are never seen
out of high heels. If you are doubt-
ful of the smartness of high heels
with sport clothes you will be safe
with moderate heels. But don't,
don't confine your shoes to clodhop-
pers only.
It all looks like a regular fashion
parade without an announcer—but all
the more entrancing.
FACTS
Wo all wonder when A. J. Rey- j
Holds and hi> cousin "Rus get any i
studying ilone with their iiiutij
laughs.
Well, w. hop Audry Whitworth I
is happy. Shi has a grin from ear
in ear. Theo Griesenbeck is in,
about the same fix.
Have \ hi seen tin' new style hair-
cut? Edna Scott serves as the model..
Just take t pe )>• Now to really be
serious I think it has improved 100 j
per cent.
There is that usual bunch of hoysj
that come with the o'clock bell ;.m 1
tr.ose girl- at dinner. Can't they over I
get here early?
Kellis 11.1>m 11 h§S a "world-over" I
smile on hi.-> face. No wonder, the]
cards beat.
We are earnestly hoping and pray-
ing (more of the former I for a t'ti-
nt- court. Where will our cham-
pions uet practice? Now 1 saiii the
champions, yes, Brownie Vest tor in-
stance. We know where our girls
team is coming. I'll guess the boys
will pop up out of nowhere.
Well, this is enough bull for a
while. Let's sign off. I'm sleepy?

ELMER'S iLLUSIONS
Early in the fall everyone awoke
to the excitement of new hats. 11
everyone wasn't too interested in the
gam Friday to notice the "ducky"
little Empress Eugenie hat worn by
Merl Hickman they will have some
faint idea of the styles pertaining to
the head, for the season. It's the
newest of the Renaissance Period
Hats.
But now, suddenly, interest is di-
vided between the head and the feet.
The barefoot sandal is now a mere
sole and heel, held on by slender
crossed straps.
Many examples of these are dis-
played in the school room. Just look
around for yourself. The only dis-
INTERESTING TALKS
IN CHAPEL PERIOD
Maybe some of you don't know
what we do in this period. Sometimes
we have yell practice, study, classes
m ot, announcements are made and
; once a week we have some citizen
ispeak to us.
last week Rev. Walter Dibrell,
j pastor of the Methodist Church talked
j to '.is. He gave a very interesting
on "Going the Second Mile" in-
• eluding for examples the scholastic
work. How a second mile pupil does
his work and even more. He gave
many "second mile" examples.
I his week on Monday "( olumbus
Day" we had the privilege of hearing
Rev, Clarence H. Lake speak to us.
His subject was "Adventure." He
compared good and bad adventures
and which should be followed. |fe
brought in the ndventures of Colum-
bus, Bvrd, Post nri.l Gatty, Lindberg
and others. We enjoyed this very
much.

copying Lemma's history note-book,
I might have know she couldn't use
her own head when it comes to study-
ing. 'I'wo' heads are better than one
is her motto.
By the way our class has elected its
colors, flowers, and motto. They
are as follows:
Colors—Red and blue.
Flowers—Blue bonnet and Indian
Blanket.
Motto I know I can do and bo
what I will.
Yes, we know we i an, and you
cotikl too if you were as studious and
imhitious as we are.
Tell me something! .!< re are these
fish to contend with again. Well let's
get goin'.
Verda Holmes has her thumb in
her mouth. Well, well, if we'd all
do that people would think we were
minnows instead of fish.
Even though I know you are thor-
oughly interested in this. I am sorry
to say, but I have to "saw off" for
this time. See you later.
