The Butterfly’s
Trail
By Albert Mary Thweatt
THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK:—
Get into the habit cf looking for the silver lining of the
cloud, and when you have found it, continue to look at it ra¬
ther than at the leaden gray in, the middle. It will help you
overcome many hated places.”
Now that tile football seasen has arrived, sport fans are
looking forward to witnessing Georgia State and Beach-* uyler
games. Beach-Cuyler played their first game on Thursday,
last, coming out victorious over Risley High to the tune of 6-2.

Jr., the Edward Laws, the Phillip Coopers, the Hercules L:akes,
Mrs. Jane Starr, Samuel Parker, Lestrr Johnson, Gus Hayes,
the J T. Ellerbees, Mrs. Eunice Washington, Misses Bvelyn
Grant, Jean Miller, Undine Harris, Sarah Williams, Mrs. Eu¬
nice Simmons and daughter, Edwina, Misses M.riam and Her-
line Grant, Mrs. Margaret Simmons and hundreds of others-
The band under the direction of Carl Wright kept everything
lively and full of pep . . . Georgia State also was victorious
in their first game of the season, to the tune of 15-6. Georgia
State’s triple-threat, fieet-fcoted halfback, Robert Slocum, is
really to be congratulated on his sensational runs, punts,
passes and defensive plays. Among those taking in the game
were the Leonard Taylors, the Willis Huberts, the James Gad-
sons (everyone glad to s> e Jimmy, who came from New York
for a short visit with his wife and son), Miss Frankie Golden,
the L. S. Priesters, the Eulie Bellingers, Dr. S- M. McDew, Sr.,
Rev. and Mrs. Gustave Caution, Georgia State’s faculty, the
Eugene Gadsdens, the Wilson Huberts, and many many othei's
The most interesting announcer for the game was Mr. Edward
Law.

port for duty at the air base in Lockbourny, Ohio, Oct- 20.
