Some Maxims of George
Washington

Think before you speak.

Let your recreations be man-
ful, not sinful.

Speak no ill of the absent, for
it is unjust.

Let your conversation be with-
out malice or envy.

Speak not of doleful things in
time of mirth nor at the table.

Be not apt to relate news, if
you know not the truth thereof.

Let your discourse with men of
business be short and comprehen-
sive.

Be not hasty to believe flying
reports to the disparagement of
anyone.

Associate yourself with men
of good quality, if you esteem
your reputation.

Undertake not what you can-
not perform, but be careful to
keep your promise.

Labor to keep alive in your
breast that little spark of celes-
tial fire called conscience.

EDITORIALS

If we are to see plainly the phv-
sical world that is about us, we
must keep our eyes well open. A
clouded vision will shut out much
beauty from our sight and even
give to familiar objects a false
appearance. In the same way
can certain ugly clouds wrap our
perception mentally. Every day
our minds are storing away cer-
tain definite impressions of life
about us. That those impressions
should be the right kind does not
depend on the world. The world
is what we make it. Our impres-
sions depend upon the angle from
which we view our fellow-being.
Do certain clouds of harshness,
prejudice or thoughtlessness creep
in? You may not think it hurts
when you speak unkindly to oth-
ers. You may not think it hurts
you when you give way to temper
and dispute about petty things.
You may not think it hurts anyone
when you have unpleasant
thoughts about people. But you
are. You are hurting yourself
everytime, helping to deepen the
darker pictures registered in your
memory. We all say we wish to
be happy, then let take off the
blunders from our eyes so that
we may see clearly the real beau-
ty in our friend's value.

It is a wonderful world ! Those
who cannot see the mountains,
the sky, the valley, the plains are
to be pited. People are eiven
more wonderful creatures be-
cause they give be;^uty of the
soul. Those who cannot see the
lovely traits in human character
the good in the worst of us, are
to be deplored.

We have a fine group of bors
and girls here. Let us determine
to find something good in every-
one, and make the remaming
year a profitable one.

What Does Your

Honor Mean to You?

On school life, as well as in any
other, this is an important ques-
tion which should be truthfully
answered by everyone. It should
be a stormy, vital force which
keeps one from doing dishonor-
able things, things which lower us
in other people's opinions and les-
sens our own self respect. By sly-
ness, and thoughtful cunningness
these unworthy deeds may be
concealed from public view, but
you can't hide them from your-
self, or from the one who sees all.
Doing the honorable thing may
not always be the ''path of the
least resistance" or the easiest to
do, yet is is undisputably the most
upright and noble course. It takes
courage to be honorable; to stand
up for the right when deceit is
popular, it takes real strength
of character.

Everyone admires fair play. It
is governing force in the dealings
of civilized mankind with one an-
other. Shakespeare said, 'This
above all: to their own self be
true, and it must follow as the
night the day. Thou canst not
then be false to any man."

That is by doing the right thing
by ourselves, we are playing fair
with others. For instance, when
we idle away all our time here at
school, and do not take advan-
tage of the splendid opportuni-
ties offered, we are not playing
fair with those who send us here,
and anxiously watch our progress
and are so pleased with the slight-
est evidence of such. Even were
it not for others who love us, we
should be honorable for our own
satisfaction, that we might walk
erect, head high, and know that
we are doing our best.

PRIZE ESSAYS

Preparation for Citizenship

By Ben Monfort
(First Prize)

Citizenship is a mere word
that will stir the heart of any
American who hears it uttered
and gets the significance of -ts
meaning. Our forefathers realiz-
ed its meaning and they fought
and some even died that we might
inherit the rights of citizenship.

Our country with its privileges
is a glorious heritage. Under its
colors we enjoy the rights and
privileges of a sovereign the
rights to make our own laws and
to select our own government of-
ficials. Our government protects
homes, our business, and lives
from enemies both foreign and
domestic. It furnishes us with
many institutions such as libra-
ries, schools, museums and
churches. In return we give a
small portion of our time and
money in the form of taxes, and
sometimes we are called upon to
offer other sacrifices in the form
of military services. To serve as
a good citizen we must be pre-
pared physically, mentally and
morally. .

Physical strength begins m the
home. The first few years of a
child's life depends entirely on
the care of his parents, and it is
very essential that the physical
habits are formed carefully. The
physical strength is further de-
veloped in schools where the laws
of nature are studied and a great
eif ort is exerted to put them into
practice. The fact that physical
perfection is necessary for the
betterment of mankind is becom-
]Tig more and more understood
and never before in the history of
America has physical education

been stressed as it is today.

Mental strength comes entirely
through study and practice. In
this phase of a child's make up
tiie home enviornment is great.
Every elfort should be made by
the parent to see that h_s chil-
dren gain an educaion for in this
age a person is helpless without
mental strength gained either
through the school of learning or
experience. By a mental educa-
tion a person is more capable of
understanding and putting into
practice the laws of the govern-
ment, the laws of social conduct,
and the means by which a person
is to succeed in the material
world.

The physical and mental de-
velopments are most vital, but
without moral strength a person
never experiences the great
things of life. Moral strength
makes us have the courage to
overcome the petty material han-
dicaps. It teaches us kindness,
usefulness and love, which alone
bring real happiness to the hu-
man race. The church with its
moral teachings is the hope of
the world, and without the prac-
tice of tnese moral codes the ideal
citizen is never reached.

Any normal child today can
reach the height of citizenship
which is physical, mental and
moral strength, if the effort be
great enough. The result will
mean for him, true happiness and
earned success.

Preparation for Citizenship

By A. J. Broom
(Third Prize)

The question of preparing for
citizenship is a vital one. The
happmess, success and even des-

tinies of nations depend on this
preparation, for the type of pre-
paration determines the results.
Thru the ages we have seen th.s
fact proven by the rise and fall
of countries. Greece, Rome and
Germany tell the story of ill pre-
pared citizenship. In each case
the root of the outcome can be
traced to its citizens.

America, in forming her gov-
ernment, profited by the experi-
ences of the past and today she
has a republic envied and admir-
ed by the whole world. How long
our country is to remain the land
of the free and the home of the
brave depends on us as citizens.

A citizen starts his preparation
at home the day he is born. The
greatest influence is bestowed up-
on him by the disposition of his
parents. Parents who want their
children to be good citizens will
tram them with this idea.

The first thing a child learns
is to love his mother, then the
other members of the family will
gradually be recognized and
loved. The child should not only
be taught to love his family, but
everyone he comes in contact
with. If he does this, he will obey
the greatest rule of citizenship

love. ^^ ,

Parents also need to see that
a child shall have a healthy body,
for the body is the snelter of the
heart, soul, and mind where all
that it takes to be a good ctizen
is planted. They should see that
a child is sent to school, even tho
they have to deny themselves to
do it, for no person can be a
good citizen who doesn't know
something about the laws, the
languages and history of his peo-
ple.

After a person has finished
high school or college he should
be allowed to follow the vocoit.on
of his own choice. Regardless of

the status of the position a person
can accomplish greater work in a
vocation that is best suited to his
talents. If he is out of harmony
with his work, he is cheating him-
self and the world. This is con-
trary to the making of good citi-
zens.

In the professional world a
person must possess certain social
and moral codes to work harmon-
iously and successfully with the
human race. These are acquired
by oft repeated efforts eitiier by
our parents, teachers, or by our
own efforts. By these codes a per-
son helps establish not destroy;
he bears his part of the responsi-
bility bestowed upon him as a ci-
tizen; he is kind, unselfish and
possesses an optimistic attitude
toward life ; and he conforms to
the best standards and ways of
living.

If this prepartion for citizen-
ship is carried out and each citi-
zen does his part in carrymg on
the preparation, this will be a
happier and better wrold by his
having lived in it.

The Truth About Martha

By Christine Cole

(After many years of deligent
research and much expense, one
of the most important mysteries
of Halleyville has been brought
to light.)

When I was a mere child upon
my mother's knee (Sonny Boy) I
became greatly worried with the
mystery of why Miss Martha
never married. Ofc.mes have i
heard my mother say, "Just like
Miss Martha's case." I thought it
was a case to put things in, and
later when I had the measles, I
wondered if I had caught Miss
Martha's case. When one's curi-
osity is aroused one naturally at-
tempts to tind real truth of the
matter and so it was with me.
Now after much research, I am
able and happy to tell the truth
and nothing but the truth about
wny Miss Martha never married.

There was a sad heart in the
low, dark stained, little house
that stood humbly by the road-
side m the village of Halleyville.

This is how it all came about:

Miss Martha, her aunt and Liza
the old negro cook and helper,
had all lived happily in their lit-
tle home for years, but just re-
cently Martha's aunt had died
and she became sole owner to the
small estate.

Now at this time, Martha was
not old. She was only thirty-seven
(date of birth found in family
Bible) and she had an swful
sweet smile and eyes that almost
made your heart melt, or that's
what some of the old timers say.
Martha was awfully sniarc too.
One day while she was out work-
ing in her garden, she saw Mr.
Perkins (one of her neighbors
who lived about a mile up the

road) coming up the path to the
garden.

''Even', Miss Martha," he greet-
ed.

''Good evening, Mr. Perkins."

"Here are some onion plants,
I brought you Miss Martha.
Vv^ould you like for me to help
you set 'em out?"

"Thank you Mr. Perkins, but
I'm not quiet ready to set 'em
out."

"You look mighty s^eet out
here m this garden. Miss Mar-
tha."

"Thank you."

"I bet you are a good cook,
ain't you, Miss Martha?"

"Yes, I can cook pretty good,
Mr. Perkins."

"Miss Martha, you know I got
three mighty sweet little chilluns
and they've been mighty lone-
some since my old lady died, and
they'd be mighty proud to have
a mammy, and -er-and "

"Wouldn't you like to have a
tomato, Mr. Perkins?"

"No Miss Martha, I'd rather
have you, you know what I mean,
well-er-er Hello, Mr. Britt!"

"Hello Mr. Perkins and Miss
Martha, exclaimed the old bache-
lor, as he bowed to Miss Martha.

"Well I gotto go," says Mr.
Perkins, "I hope them onion
plants I brought you live and oh
yes. Miss Martha, when can you
let me know about what I was
asking you 'bout while ago?"

"Come tomorrow at three o'-
clock and I will let you know."

"Bye, Miss Martha."

"Good-day, Mr. Perkins."

"Miss Martha, I brung you
some aigs. You know my hens is
laying, I got lots more'n I can eat.

and they aint buying them up at
the store now."

'Thank you, Mr. Britt, the
eggs sure do look nice and fresh."

"They are fresh, Miss Martha,
I've only been saving 'em up a
week. And Miss Martha, I got
lots more at home and ham and
potatoes and beans, and I gets
m.ghty tired eating by myself,
it- it-d be much better if you'd
eat with me. I mean, gosh, you
know, I just mean be my wife."

"Oh! Mr. Br.tt, how sudden!
Well-er, come back tomorrow at
four o'clock and I will let you
know what I've decided."

"Alrignt, I'll be here if the
ground ain't too wet, Miss Mar-
tha. Good-bye."

Martha did not take time to
say good-by. She crawied over
the garden fence and went half-
jumping and half running into
tiie house.

"Liza, L-i-z-a," she called.

"Oh, laudy, laudy. Miss Mar-
tha what's the matter, ails you?
Is you bewitched or what is it,
,w._at IS it Miss Martha?"

"Oh, Liza, I've just had two
proposals."

"Two what. Miss?"

"I mean Mr. Perkins and Mr.
Britt both has just asked me to
marry them."

"Well is dat all dat ails you?
Whatta you got in dat basket,
Miss Martha?"

"What basket Liza?"

Dat one you got on your airm."

"Oh, that's eggs, Mr. Britt
brought me. Take them and set
them on the shelf."

Liza disappeared into the
kitchen , then came back in an
instant to find Marthia lying
across the bed.

"And which one is you gonna
take?" inquired Liza.

"I don't know, that's wlxat I
want to ask you."

"Well which air one do you
love de best?"

"Neither one of them," replied
Martha.

"Then I'd take the one dat has
de most money," suggested Liza.

At this suggestion Martha sat
up and seemed relieved. "That's
what I'll do," said Martha, "and
of course that will be Mr. Britt."

So the next afternoon at two
o'clock Martha was all dressed up
in her best pink checked dress,
waiting for her callers.

Mr. Perkins arrived at the set
time (three o'clock) carrying his
walking stick.

Martha met him at the door
and led him into the parlor.

"Well what's your decision,
Miss Martha? I hope it's in my
favor."

"Well you see, Mr. Perkins, I
ain't as good a cook as I said I
was yesterday, cause Liza always
been the cook, and I ain't so very
easy to get along with, and so me
and your children might not get
along so well, and me and you
might'a wished we had never got
married and I decided I better
not take you."

"I'm awfully sorry Miss Mar-
tha but maybe I can find some
body else that we can get along
with, I mean me and my kids."

"Evenin', Martha."

"Good-by, Mr. Perkins.

"One job finished," exclaimed
Martha as she sat down in her
chair to wait for Mr. Britt, but he
never came, because, you see he
got in a hurry for Miss Martha's
answer and he came right after
three o'clock. He stopped at the
door steps to get a long breath
before knocking, but he heard
Mr. Perkins in the parlor and he
thought he heard Martha say she
v/ould marry him so instead of
knocking on the door he turned
and fled home to save all the em-

harassment of receiving Martha's
decision.

Martha waited and waited, but
he never came back. In fact, the

day of her death, she was dress-
ed in a pink checked dress hop-
ing he might come. He has long
Deen dead. May they both rest in
peace.

CHOCOLUT SODIE

By Whit Hamrick

Ramon Jackson despised by
the township, could always be
found around the drug store ac-
cepting drinks from those who
offered to buy them for him. He
would always stand around the
slab and when any one asked him
to have a drink he would say,
''Sure, I'll take a Choc'lut Sodie."

Ramon had a ''crush" on the
town's pretty girl, but most peo-
ple thought she let him come to
her home through being kind to
dumb animals.

Harry Walters, the bully of the
town, also had a few dates with
the same girl. Always when Har-
ry came around Ramon vamous-
ed, for Harry always tormented
him about Janet Powers, the girl.

One day as Ramon was drink-
ing soda a tall, handsome well
dressed fellow walked up to him
and said, "Can you tell me where
I can rind Miss Janet Powers?"

"Why, yes, but why do you
want to know? Who are you?"

"That's my business." and the
man walked out.

In a few minutes, while Ramon
was wondering over the matter,
Harry walked in. He stalked up
to Ramon and slapped him on
the back.

"Well, well, look at our ship,"
said Harry.

"Oh, leave me alone," remark-
ed Ramon.

"Say kid, don't get worried

about the girl for she is stuck
on me. Why, kid, why don't you
give up?"

"Well you'd give up to if you
saw what I did."

"What!" demanded Harry.

"A sleek-haired shiek hunting
Janet."

"I don't believe it." answered
Harry.

"Well go up to her house and
see if he found her," suggested
Ramon.

"I don't believe you but here
goes."

So the two started up the street
toward Janet's house.

They were walking along in
silence when Harry spoke.

"Look at that big car coming
down the street."

"Yes, and it's got a just mar-
ried sign on it," said Ramon.

"I wonder who it can be," de-
clared Harry.

Just then the car passed and
some one called, "Good-bye, boys
see you later."

"Good gosh! It's Janet!" they
both stammered at the same time.

For fully five minutes they
stood there in silence. Then
Ramon spoke, "Now, you'll give
up too, won't you."

"Oh, shut up an'^ let's go get
something to drink

"Sure, I'll ta- a choc'lut
sodie."

The Home Economics depart-
ment is progressing nicely.
, The freshmen ha^ve gotten
..down to real work. Tliey are now
making laundry bags, hose bags
and handkerchief bags and other
small articles.

The sophomores are studying
foods. This study is quite popular
because they get to eat what they
cook.

The juniors are very busy mak-
ing pine straw baskets. It is quite
a show to see the various shapes
and forms made from pine. Miss
Petty reports that this class has
done excellent work w.th the pro-
ject.

The seniors are busy complet-
ing the senior year work of Home
Projects and Home Planning.
.J Since they are to be the future
home-makers they are making a
book of ideals in home-making,
and each girl hopes to live up to
her ideals.

- We are also having daily re-
ports which are very helpful to
the students.

By these reports we study col-
or scheme, arrangement of arti-
cles in the rooms and the success-
ful ways of buying furniture. As
the kitchen ip the house-wife's
work shop, we are taught to select
ijtensils which are good, moder-
ately priced, useful and modern.

After such a couisa in Home
Economics ' offered here, we
can not f" keeping the home

What the Home Ec. Dept.

Has Done and Is Doing

Oh! what a success
The Home Ec. Dept. has been.
So let's try our level best
And have a success again.

Before the year of 1930.
We made lots of pretty things.
Sheets, towels, pillows and toys,
And even ducks, with wings.

)

But thats not all, we cooked and

ate
In a friendly, fashionable way.
And we've done numerous other

things
Even in a single day.

But in the future days to come,
With Miss Petty as our chief,
We'll form a band of real Home

Ec. girls.
And give our mothers relief.

So if every body'll come to class,
You may mark what I say,
; "down."
We'll have the best class
That can be found in any coun-
try or town.

The school term is not over yet
But it has well begun.
So let's reach our goal,
Before the term is done.

An Experience of An

A. & M, Alumnus

The following was written by
B. L. Anderson, president of the
class of 1921. He relates his his-
tory. This account will interest
many of his friends who have
temporarily lost sight of him. He
used the following in applying
for work:

I was born in Georgia 29 years
ago.

Since I left home at the age of
sixteen I have worked my way
through a High School in Geor-
gia, Iowa State College and the
Harvard Graduate School of Busi-
ness Administration.

For six summers I bought dis-
play signs from a manufacturer
and sold to Banks and all lines
of retail business in 35 states. Be-
tween my first and second years
in the Harvard Business School
summer of 1926 I made $2,000,
an average of $133 a week.

But personal selling is limited
by physical endurance. Through
Advertising a good selling talk
can reach millions of readers in-
stead of hundreds of listeners. I
went into Advertising.

This outline of my experience
begins with the first job I had
after I left home thirteen years
ago.

1. Christmas 1916 June 1917.
Laid out and planted groVes of
Georgia Paper Shell Pecan trees
in Georgia with the help of a
crew of negroes.

2. June 1917 Christmas 1917.
Assembled, priced and sold furn-
iture. Granted credit on the In-
stallment plan.

3. Summer 1918. Worked for
Goodyear Tire and Rubber Co., in

Akron, Ohio. Then followed the
harvest in South Dakota.

4. Summer 1919 Fall 1920.
Worked on A. & M. farm a
month, from sunup until sun-
down. Followed the harvest in
Kansas, Nebraska and South Da-
kota. Then worked on one farm
three months. From November 1,
1919 until July 1, 1920 worked
on Highland Stock Farm, Wagn-
er, South Dakota. (I have a good
letter of recommendation from
Mr. H. G. Wilson, owner). Then
I worked on the campus of Iowa
State College, Ames, Iowa., as a
carpenter's helper. Earned board
extra by building fires in the col-
lege cafeteria. Returned to Geor-
gia in August to begin Senior
year in High School. Had $1000
in bank to show for my fifteen
months work. With that amount
I could finish high school, then go
direct to Iowa State College be-
fore losing the habit of study.

5. Winter 1920 1921. Senior
year at 4th District A. & M.
School, Carrollton, Georgia. Made
expenses by carrying mail and
firing boiler to heat Boys' dormi-
tory. Class president. (I have a
good letter of recommendation
from Mr. I. S. Ingram, Principal).

6. Summer 1921. Returned to
Ames, Iowa. Dug ditches a month.
(Soon contracted for each job and
made good pay.) Then sold maps
of Iowa for National Map Com-
pany from store to store and
house to house in town and coun-
try. Walked.

7.Summer 1922. Covered 14
States in a Ford with three other
students. Studied Agricultural,
Industrial and Educational plants
and resources in most of the
states west of Iowa. Sold display

signs and tire patch part of the
time. Made about two-thirds of
expenses. Camped out.

8. Summer 1923. One of the
students and I sold display signs
again. Bought in large quantities
from manufacturer and sold to
banks and all lines of retail busi-
ness. Averaged $54.24 per week
each. Camped out. Studied Sales-
mjaship every Sunday. Worked
up selling points and put Ford
and samples in good condition.
Worked down into Kentucky by
end of summer and visited Geoi-
gia a week or more. Secured goid
watch which J. O. Anderson, a
brother, had promised me for
absentinces from tobacco and al-
cohol. _

9 Winter 19231924. Presi-
dent of Dixie Club, Welch Club
and Bachelor Debating Society.
Bought several hundred pounds
of Georgia Paper Shell Pecans,
packed tnem in two-pound unnsc-
mas boxes and sold at $2.00 a
box to students, faculty, mer-
chants and institutions of Ames,
Iowa and surrounding towns.
Made about $30 a day for time
spent on the pecans.

10. Summer 1924. Partner and
I went to Detroit and sold display
Signs again. Camped out. I made
^1338.78 for the summer, an aver-
age of $102.20 a week. Then I
went to Georgia for four days.

11. Winter 1924-25. Borrowed
money without security or en-
cjorser from banks and contract-
ed for whole crops of Georgia
Paper Shell Pecans. Mr. Schle.-
ter. Cashier of Story County Trust
& Savings Bank, who had known
me for three years, promised me
the use of $1000 or more, after
an eight minute interview. The
College Savings Bank promised
me an additional $250 although
they have a strict rule against un-
secured loans to students. I sold

my shipments of pecans so rapid-
ly that I _^did not need all the
credit available. (I still have the
notes for those loans all paid be-
fore due and signed by myself
only.)

12. Spring of 1925. While a
Senior at Iowa College, I trained
12 salesmen for release in West
when I came East to sell display
signs the summer before entering
Harvard Business School. I was
given the use of class or commit-
tee rooms after class and was al-
lowed to reserve good books on
Salesnianship in the Library. Dr.
John Evans, head of Psychology
department gave an excellent lec-
ture to my crew. I helped tnem
select camping outfits and the
best selling display signs.

I gave my crew a number of
lectures and labs, based upon
carefully recorded study and ex-
perience covering three summers
work. Those men knew exactly
what they would be up ag^inft
in the field and how to impj:pve
themselves with each days vfor,k
in the field. Each crew had to buy
enough signs so the men would
simply have to go through the
first period of blues. By the time
they unloaded their first lot they
knew what they could do and
were ready for more.

13. Summer 1925. Met my part-
ner in Cambridge, Mass. /Worked
down to Virginia and back
through Pennsylvania and upper
New York State. Worked ,and
camped out together for one
fourth of last summer. I made
about $1700, including a little
over $200 on the sales of my
crew.

14. Summer 1926. Sold, alone
for the first summer, betvv^een 1st
and second years in Harvard
Business School. Made $2000 an
average of $133 a week. Made
$222.63 best week.

15. Summer 1927. After sec-
ond year in Harvard Business
School made over $2000 before
being caught in Vermont Flood in
latter part of October.

16. November 1927. Returned
to Boston and did some research
work in Advertising until Decem-
ber 15, 1927 when I began work-
ing for an Advertising Agency.
Later finished up some work re-
quired for M. B. A. Degree from
Harvard Business School. Ac-
count Executive two years. I
brought in and developed the
Advertising account of a Public
Utility with 15 branch stores. In
detail my work was to :

1. Divide advertising appro-
priation among the 15 towns.

2. Schedule advertising.

3. Make layouts.

4. Write copy.

5. Specify type.

6. Correct proofs.

7. Get O. K.

8. Get proper number mats
and mounted steroes for each of
six or seven signatures.

9. Order ads in papers through
their local managers. (They had
local rates.)

10. Keep record of title, size
and date of appearance of all ads
in each newspaper.

11. Figure amount due each
newspaper.

12. Check bills of newspapers.

13. Distribute all charges on
cost basis over the 15 towns serv-
ed.

In addition to that Commercial
account I had about ten Financi-
al accounts that invested a total
of nearly $100,000 a year in Ad-
vertising.

Because I seemed to be getting
into a blind alley with the Adver-
tising Agency, I gave notice Octo-

ber 15, 1929 and left January 1,
1930. My relations with the
Agency were highly satisfactory
in everything but remuneration.

I do not want ''something for
nothing." I do expect my pay to
be reasonably proportional to
the amount of productive effort
I make, but I'll be glad for it to
come in three forms: CASH, EX-
PERIENCE and OPPORTUNITY.
'Naturally I prefer to have as
much of my pay as I can spare
come already invested, in the
form of marketable experience
and opportunity.

ril be glad to give any addi-
tional information upon request.
Yours respectfully,

B. L. Anderson.

It is interesting to notice

Body parts in their relation.

When one part, begins to falter
How its mate makes compen-
sation.

When one ear gives way to deaf-
ness

And its messafife arrows mute.
Then the other ear, you'll notice.

Gives one hearing more acute.

If an eye, by chance, gets weak-
er
Then its mate at once is strong-
er;
When a leg by chance, gets short-
er,
Then the other leg is longer.

SOCIAL hlEWS

Georgia Day Banquet

One of the outstanding social
events of this year was The Geor-
gia Day Banquet February 12th.
This is an annual affair and is
looked forward to by all tie stu-
dents with a great deal of pleas-
ure.

The banquet was held in the
dining hall which was decorated
for the occasion with red and
white colors, carrying out Valen-
tine decorations.

The Glee Club under the direc-
tion of Miss Nolen rendered an
enjoyable program.

Mr. Ingram, in his own happy
manner, introduced the speaker
of the evening. Dr. Camp, presi-
dent of Bowdon College. He de-
livered a very interesting and in-
structive speech on the History
of Georgia, which was followed
by a short talk by Mr. Thomas-
son, editor of the Carroll County
Times.

Miss Nolen delighted the hear-
ers with a solo, words by Frank
L. Stanton, ''Mignty Like a Rose."

The menu, which was most
tempting, was served under the
splendid supervision of Mrs. W.
H. Harris, who is the school d'e-
tltion.

The Ciceroneans

Entertain the Hawthornes

Saturday night January 25th.
the Ciceronean Society gave the
Hawthorne Society a prom party
in the dining hall. The room was

beautifully decorated and made
as homelike as possible. Several
interesting games and a contest
were enjoyed by everybody. Miss
Nolen and Emmett Skelton were
the winners of t .e contest. After
a few proms, deLcious refresh-
ments, potato salad, saltines,
oLves and coffee were served.
This was declared one of the most
enjoyable events of last quarter.

Valentine Dinner

Misses Mary Fullilove and
Agnes Burdette entertained the
faculty at a beautiful valentine
dinner on February sixth.

The table was artistically de-
corated with hearts and valen-
tine place cards. The color
scheme was red and white.

A delicious dinner of the fol-
lowing menu was served: Grape-
fruit cocktail, baked hen, oys-
ter dressing, creamed celery,
cranberry sauce, potato souffle,
biscuit, giblet gravy, tomato
aspice, saltines, ice cream, cake,
nuts, mints, demi tasse.

Library Notes

It seems that all the students
are interested in reading. Some
one is always scaling the heights
of the Library in search of a good
book. Probably it is for extra
credit in English, or it might be
the weather. Who knows, and
WiiO cares? Just so they are read
IS iny chief desire.

BASKETBALL

The Aggie five after starting
the season off right, by winning
the first game from the strong
Hogansr^ille team by a score of
21 to 16, has gotten down to
business and has made itself a
name which makes every team in
the fourth district shiver with
fear at the mention of the Aggie's
team and their record on the
hardwood for this season.

Throughout the season the Ag-
gies have been fighting every
minute of the game. This has
made many a good team go
down in defeat. The opposing
teams have always found it im-
possible to get the ball through
the Aggie's air tight defense,
while on the other side of the
question it is a rare thing when
the Aggie quintet fails to work
like clock work right down the
court through the opposing de-
fense for points.

The A. & M. team so far has
won 9 games out of nine chances
with the district teams. The team
goes to LaGrange Friday. They
are determined to keep their good
record.

The Hiking Club

Hiking is quite a pleasure this
beautiful weather. It is a change
from the daily routine of class
work. It rests the mind and gives
new ideas. We see the pretty
scenes of nature which are far
more beautiful than we can paint.

The girls are planning an early
morning hike. Breakfast will be
cooked in the forest. They have
already picked a delightful spot.

We have a regular bunch who
are going out every afternoon
striving toward a letter.

One hundred miles is our goal.

The following girls are pros-
pects for letters: Bonnie Tell,
Winnie Sands, Gladys Wh.te,
Zelma Johnson, Dessie Borough,
Mary Neely, Lera Crews, Mozehe
Canseler, Clara Crews, Mary
Moore.

These girls have hiked between
40 and 50 miles. There are others
who stand a good chance of get-
ting a letter.

Girls' Basketball

After a late start the A. & M.
girls' basketball team has been
organized and 12 to 16 candidates
have been practicing daily un-
der Mr. Bonner.

This year's team marks the be-
ginning of a new era in A. & M.
athletic policy, it is hoped, which
gives encouragement to athletics
for girls. The team is being
coached in girls rules, the two-
division court; games have been
scheduled, as far as possible, with
teams using the same system.

Much enthusiasm has been
shown at the practices and while

the team lost the first game to the
7th A. & M. at Powder Springs
by a small score they came hack
with renewed effort and upset
the strong Temple outfit, 24 to 2 7.
The latter team holds vxtories
over every other opponent includ-
ing Cedartown and Tallapoosa.

Games have been scheduled
with neighboring teams and a re-
turn game with Powder Springs
will be played on the home court
March 7th. The girls feel t..at a
victory over this team would
mean a most successful season for
them.

Those participating in basket-
ball are: Sarah Burns, Louse
Vance, Frances Lett, Earlme
Kcichens, Grace Creel, Dora Hors-
ley, Pauline White, Mary Garner,

Mary Kate Cotton, Louise Austin,
Grady Harris, Cynthia Winston,
Ruby Crawford, and Myrtle
Barns. Frances Lett was elected
captain of the team and Louise
Vance alternate capta.n. Letters
will be awarded to those qualify-
ing.

Track at A. & M.

The track team at A. & M.
has a great prospect to win the
track meet this year. There have
already been a few boys out for
work and they are showing up
well. There will be a large num-
ber after basketball season is
over, and every one is going to
work harder than ever to have a
winning team.

What Stuck Time Means

Stuck time speaks various lan-
guages:

To Miss Petty it means bring-
ing in stove wood.

To Mrs. Clark it means wash-
ing names off the walls.

To Miss Nolen it means, scrub-
bing the windows in the lobby,
or reporting back at four o'clock.

To Mr. Bonner it means sweep-
ing all the halls in the dormitory.

To Mr. Maddox it means bury-
ing all the dead chickens and
sweeping yards.

To Mr. Lucky it m.eans picking
up all the chalk and erasers.

To Mr. Harmon it means work-
ing on the farm.

To Mrs. Harris it means polish-
ing silver and cleaning the sup-
ply room.

To us it means *'Get busy and
behave yourself!"

You

You are the fellow that has to
decide

Whether you'll do it or toss it
aside.

You are the fellow who makes up
your mind

Whether you'll lead or will ling-
er behind.

Whether you'll try for the goal
that's afar

Or be contented to stay where you
are.

Take it or leave it, here's some-
thing to do.

Just think it over, it's all up to

you!

Our Trip to Covington

The E. L. Barber Hi-Y Club at
Genola elected delegates to at-
tend the Hi-Y conference at Cov-
ington, Ga., from Feb. 14th to
the 16th. They were, Edgar Bry-
ant, Clinton Mullins, Ben Mont-
f oro and Whit Hamrick.

We left early Friday morning
and arrived in Covington about
one o'clock. We v^ere assigend
our places. Mullins and Monfort
v/ere assigned to a hotel, while
Bryant and I were taken to Emory
Junior College at Oxford, two
miles from Covington.

We found the people out there
to be very kind and thoughtful
towards visitors. Mr. A. P. Gunt-
er took charge of while we were
out at the college and showed us
m.any historical points connected
with the place. The most interest-
ing was their gymnasium which
consisted of a swimming pool, in-
door track, basket ball court and
acrobatic instruments. Mr. Gunt-
er showed us all the kindness that
could be expected of anyone.

We found the people of Cov-
ington very kind also. They were
always ready to extend welcome
to us.

Some of the speakers at the
conference were, Kirk Swan, pre-
sident of Covington Hi-Y club,
Mr. H. E. Montague, state secre-
tary Y. M. C. A., Earl Dunlap,
captain elect of Georgia Tech
football team, Mr. H. W. Rohrer,
Y. M. C. A. Atlanta, Mr. John W.
Stanley from India, and Mr. Har-
vey W. Cox, president of Emory
University.

We all enjoyed hearing these
distinguished speakers. Also of
interest to the delegates were the
dinner given by the P. T. A. Sat-
urday and the banquet given by
the Civitan Club Saturday night.
We had a good time from Fri-

day through Sunday h)ut all in
and all out, we were glad to get
back to the A. & M.

Just Here and There

The last quarter is here. The
school year has been short.

Summer school plans have
been announced. The school
opens June ninth.

1S30 has been a winning year
for A. & M. It is hoped this re-
cord will be one hundred pei^
cent.

The Georgia Day banquet and
the address by Dr. Camp, presi-
dent of Bowdon College made a
big day for A. & M. Honorable
J. J. Thomasson, editor of the
Times, and one of the original
founders of the school was also
present.

The Hi-Y Club has made a
good record at school. Their de-
legates to Covington conference
were two seniors, Ed Bryant,
Whit IJ^amrick and two juniors,
Clinton Mullins and Ben Monfort.
Monfort is the new president for
next year.

The Fourth District Tract Meet
will be held at the Carrollton
High School grounds on April
11th. The schools will be the
guests of the A. & M. About six-
teen schools will participate in
the events. This is the year for
the A. & M. to make a great ef-
fort for the cup.

An old lady, leaving church
after a service which had been at-
tended by a crowded congrega-
tion, was heard to say: ''If every-
body else would only do as I do,
and stay quietly in their seats
till everyone else had gone, there
would not be such a crush at the
doors!"
