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." HOME ECONOMICS The Home Economics Department will furnish all the material for this page every issue. This department is do- ing a great work. Editor. News Items 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.

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.

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. A 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. A 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. Librarian. S-P-0-R-T-S 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.

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. Mozelle Cansler '30. A 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. Whit Hamrick. A 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.
