to see just what this animule looks
like and where Helen is going to put

TOWN TALK
LINE UP TO THE TOP OF YOUR LIGHT
a failure
A singular' action of an educated person is to bring
up the bottom of his life to the top of his light. sThe sins
of ignorance are numerous, but the sins of knowledge are
dangerous. To obey the truth and not to know is impos-
sible. To know the truth and not to obey it is unprofit-
able.
A merchant who does not strive to be the very best is
committing an industrial sin. A farmer who does not en-
deavor to be the best is committing an agricultural sin.
The teacher who does not attempt to be the best defeats
the purpose of education. One who does not live up to
the top of his light sins against himself, his fellowman
and God.
Living up to the top of your light will make you more
than an average person. Many seem satisfied to remain
in the average class. This is true, both, in school and in j
life. If someone says you are average, he has paid you no
compliment. Never be satisfied with an average goal.
Learn all you can while in the school room, and use all
your knowledge in the school of life. .Be above average.
Not until all people live up to the top of their light will j
life.be made easier.
BOAZ BUSTERS
SCHOOLMATES
I KNEW a fellow.
WHO LIVED close to me.
A QUIET fellow.
WHO just plugged along.
AT WHATEVER the job.
THAT WAS given him.
AND HE was married.
AND A little older. *
THAN THE rest of us.
AND IT used to be.
THAT oftentimes.
HE'D TAKE me out.
TO DINE with him.
AND ALWAYS 1 noticed.
HE CARRIED something.
HE MAYBE picked up.
OR MAYBE he'd stop.
AT SOME little shop.
OR A CANDY store.
OR WHATEVER it was.
AND PURCHASE something.
BUT NEVER at all.
OR VERY rarely.,
DID HE go home.
WITH EMPTY hands.
AND ALWAYS his wife.
WOULD make pratense.
THAT SHE was surprised.
AND ANYWAY.
THEY WERE very happy.
AND I JUST wonder.
IF I COULD compare.
WHAT I HAVE already said.
TO OUR educational striving.
THAT FROM each class.
IF WE could pick us.
SME FACT or theory.
THAT WE should know.
OR MAYBE something else.
MORE individualized.
THAT IT would make us hap-
pier.
JUST TO know that we knew!
I THANK you.
Boaz house meeting was called at ,1
7:00 p. m. Monday evening in Boaz j
parlor. Helen Widlake, House Presi- j
dent, stressed necessary rules and i
Mrs. Matthews, hostess, made an-
nouncements about Wednesday night
dinners and Miss DeRema Parker,
chairman of the Student Body Coun-
cil, further discussed and made clear-
er some of the rules in the Handbook
Another little poem for all:
I eat my peas with honey,
I've done it all my life,
It makes the peas taste funny
But they stick better to my knife.
Old, very old, but if the radio can
still give it so can the Boaz gossiper.
Maybe some of you haven't heard it,
here's hopiij^
Ask Fay Ann Porter what she
found in her dresser drawer last;
Wednesday. It really was a funny
story people: While on this subject
Boaz was certainly glad when.Popeye
the alligator, moved out Friday. Mar-
garet Smith insisted on bringing him
for various visits which were not wel-
come at any time.
Speaking of being as pale as a
sheet, several would like to know
why Ruth Riley was so pale and wan
when she was called down stairs one
if'ernoon last week.
Norma Ruth I'm sure the secret
admirer of your looks would rather
you didn't bring the whole dorm
when he has a chance for his admir-
ing gaze all alone. Could Jack have
had a thing to do with it?.
No wonder so many things need
fixing in Boaz it must be the "lit-
tle man with the hammer," Hall
Splawn. that is the attraction.
Here it is cold again, it looks like
I might have to spend my day writ-
ing winter poems but I'll spare you
this time and let the opening poem
he sufficient. Just be careful girls
and remember I am watching you.
Heartfelt Valentine's to alL
We "Wished on the Moon" for
news and then decided that we
weren't superstitious after all. You see
our Wish didn't come true. We'll just
have to admit that things have been
rather quiet at Mulkey this past
week. And this is not meant to be a
sarcastic remark. But we offer this
»•
column with all good intentions foi"
once.
Elaine Shaffer proved she couldn't
take it and went home. We think
that if she had known the serious ef-
fect that it would have on a certain
young swain she would have stayed.
Anyhow we miss her too, Roy!
From the amount of moving and
changing of roommates on "Third"
one would think their had been some
hard feelings somewhere; but try as
we could we couldn't find anyone not
speaking. All's quiet on Mulkey's
"Third" again.
One of Mulkey's sweet yoijng
things had company, the other day. A
young man came to her door, an-
nounced himself, and took a seat.
Just as w~e thought that we had a
good news scoop she put him to work.
Aw, gee! That's just our luck. Ruined
—One sweet story.
We are very glad that Vte are the
sole writer from dear ole Mulkey.
Besides having some people in the
palms of our hands we are able to
keep out of theirs. This would con-
stitute a warning to several people if
they were smart. To make ourselves
clear—we mean you, you, you, and
you, just try to start something.
"Ah! sweet esence of tuna fish."
Just a simple little phrase but this
little phrase, my friends, has dread-
ful effects upon Margret Jobe,
Cathryn Naugle, and Mildred Ely. It
seems that Margret ate to much, and
Mildred and Cathryn couldn't eat
any. Don't know which it hurt the
most. We didn't get hurt but then
we aren't so terribly fond of tuna
fish.
Well we told you at the beginning
that we had no news but if you didn't
have any better sense than to doubt
our word its your fault that you read
this far and have to read our sig-
nature. Aw gee-*--
"I'll be seeing ya„"
DORM DUDES
Windy Whitehead: "Where have I
seen you before."
Katy Beth Lilly: "If you won't tell
t won't."
Pinch-hitting for the regular writ-
er, Moran Mote, who is home be-
cause of illness in his family. Mar-
jorie Meyer and all the rest of us
will welcome him back.
Windy, where had you and Katie
Beth been Monday afternoon when
you were seen walking up Vickery?
Every little thing oke njrft?
"Here's that man aSJPh" is often
heard around Boaz way since Jr.
Splawn is handy man over there. By
the way wonder where Puddin,' as
Coach affectionately calls him, was
on the night of February 8????
Tt must be love! Roten sent the
picture back to the girl in Waco and
Margaret Meek has the jacket that
was made for her. Nice going, Meek.
Reese has been looking rather lost
since Friddle went to McMurray.
Gantt, you better watch your step
about this triflin* business or a cer-
I suppose the purpose of this col-
umn if to inform and to en-
tertain. But back of this is a
desire to turn the youth of this in-
stitution from their foolishness by
holding their sins and shortcomings
up to redicule.
It is, however, a very discoraging
job. Since the first of the year cer-
tain people have been breaking into
this column with discouraging regu-
larity. I have published their way-
ward ways but as far as I have been
able to ascertain, not one of them has
taken my admonishments to heart
and turned from the ways of sin and
iniquity. Nevertheless, I shall keep
trying and if by and chance I am able
to help any wayward child I shall not
have lived in vain.
The history of the world seems to
be a catalogue of don'ts—our college
fathers—meaning those who establish
our do's and. don't might take a
lesson in psychology— it has been said
the more don's you put on a person
the more do's he (or she) does.
Take my advice girls and don't give
in too easily to the handsome males.
This little poem may get over the
idea more better.
T.et others laud indoor endearments
From madiens too easily won
Give me the kiss of a cross-country
miss
At the end of a marathon run.
Unless Jasper (How about a date)
Mallicote has already told you—he
did get a date last week—and -j-he
femme even furnished the car—maybe
Jasner has something we don't know
about—maybe.
B. Caldwell, that good looking ush-
er-er at the Worth is back in school
again.-Welcome B.
Ed Cheney and Bob Baker have
gone down to State—leaving Temple
Cate and Eleanor Holt rather lone-
some.
Charlotte (Milques-f-oast) Griffin
returned to school last week after be-
ing absent on account of a sprained
ankle.
Shedding a tear—lil'ol' Betty Ben-
nett's gone to Austin-—she always was
good for some dirt. Shure do hate to
lose her.
Rankin Bowen is another to whom
should be said "Where were you o"
the night of January 30?"
Welcome back—Mrs. Adams and
Mrs. Brooks.
tain little girl over Boaz way that
iooks mighty cute in that Weather-
ford sweater will be giving you a
dose of your own medicine—more
than usual.
Heard the other day that one of
j Corky's girls out at T. C. U. last year
j alVays got terribly worried about
; him during football games- she was
afraid he would fall off the bench.
Oh, the bus of red! Catch?
Best campus fight seen in many a
i day: Add Richardson being downed
by several of the players.

wagon Monday afternoon- say what
i is this anyhow?
