What is more fun than an all-day
picnic ! Miss Clarke with about twen
ty of her eighth grade pupils and
several guests including Miss Red-
fearn and Miss Johnson, spent the
day out at Person’s Lake Saturday.
They left at 8-30 o'clock and all
hiked out to the lake.
When they got there everyone was
hot and tired, ready for a dive into
the cool refreshing water.
The party carried a picnic lunch
and at 12 o’clook the table was
spread with plenty of good “eats.”
During the day many trips were
made to the spring where plenty of
delicious spring water is available.
What fun they did have going down
the narrow trail admiring the ’beau
ties of spring!
Having been refreshed by another
good swim, everyone was ready to
hike 'back home at 4 p. m.
All had a grand time, and re-
The oldest boy’s name was Sam gretted that this was their final en
Wright. The youngest boy’s name' tertainment for this year, but are
was James Wright. Their little sis- j already planning another for next
ter’s name was Jean Wright. Sam I year,
was 7 years old, James was 5 and i
Jean was 3.
They were all so happy. They had
a beautiful home.
While they were still doing what
they were, the levee was slowly
breaking, the wind was slightly
blowing. The water was coming
quickly up. The dogs in the village
were barking. Some of the people
tried to get out but it was too late,
for he water was coming higher and
higher. Mr. Wright saw that the
water was coming up. Mr. and Mrs.
Wright were trying to get the doors
and windows locked. Their children
were coming down crying and calling
for mother and dady.
At last the water was so high that
they had to go up stairs, then the
water rose higher so they got on the
garage.
There they stayed until someone
could come after them.
At last a man from the Red Cross
came in a boat and got them. He took
the to safety. They were so happy to
get to safety. The Red Cross people
built tents and furnished the people
with food and clothing.
The water at last went down. The
Wright family went back altho they
had a hard time getting to living
right again.
iBut they got everything in order
at last.

Tuesday afternoon the Butler High
nine played the Butler Town team
and were defeated 8 to 7 in 13 in
nings.
It was a very close and hard-
fought game throughout the playing.
The town team broke up a pitching
duel 'between Herman Hill of the
town team and William Adams for
the school.
The score was five until the 18th
when the town team combined two
hits and quite a few errors to score
three runs. The school got only two
runs in their half so the game was
over.
The pitching was the feature of
the game with Hill striking out 13,
while Adams made 16 men go down
swinging.
There was quite a few errors on
both sides. A double was the long
hit of the game.
Those playing for the town team:
Ulmer Stevens, Herman Hill, Harley
Riley, Jr., <J. D. Locke, Hughlan
Chapman, O. B. Bankston, Fiokling
Harris, John Pennington, James Har
mon and Otis McCants.
School Team: Morris Saunders,
George Roberts, Aaron Oreizin, Win-
dell Windham, Frank Riley, Edgar
McGee, Jack Hollis, Milton Ohildres
and William Adams.
Miss Branch with her second year
French class and their honor guests
spent a most delightful time at Per
son’s lake Thursday evening.
They all went out to the lake
about 4-30 o’clock in Jason Eliiston’s
school bus.
Swimming and boat riding was en
joyed 'by those present.
At sunset a most appetizing plate
was served to all present, after
which some went boat-riding and
others played fiddlestick.
Those present were: Miss Branch,
Miss Martin, Mr. Oxford, Mr. Jack
Bankston, Dorothy Brown, Pauline
Cooper, Otis Hill, Margery Walker,
Ben Persons, Leila Willis, Jason
Elliston, Ethel Jarrell, Edward Law-
horn, Eleanor Booth, John Penning

DIARY OF THE WEEK
UN-INTELLIGENCE TEST
'Monday: The Seniors gave a few
scenes from their play in chapel.
The graduation invitations came.
Tuesday: The school sympathizes
with Mrs. Edwards in the death of
her brother, Mr. F. W. Perkins
at his home in Perkins, Ga,
Superintendent Folds made an an
nouncement that all high school stu
dents may be exempted from final
examinations with an average of 75,
if their deportment grade is an “A”.
The town team defeated the school
team in a .baseball' game this after
noon. The Seniors gave their play to
night.
Wednesday: Strange odors have
been bothering several of the teach
ers and numbers of the pupils today,
the result of a recent innovation
popularly called "stink bombs.” How
ever swift retribution descended on
those guilty of bursting the things,
and we hope the odors will remain a
part of the school’s past. Imagine
our surprise when we discovered
that the 'bombs were kidney pills.
We feel that we’d almost rather die
than take them.
Thursday: It rained today and was
so dark that it was difficult to study:
All the classes were shortened and
the school was let out at noon. This
afternoon the French class had a
picnic at Person's Lake.
Friday: Several students are ten
derly nursing their arms because of
typhoid shots. The high school base
ball team and the town team are
playing again, and planning a game
next Tuesday with Ft. Valley. Plans
were made by the ninth grade to
have a picnic at Person’s Lake next
Friday. Here's hoping they will have
fair weather.

ties, but these are
article.
To illustrate what 1 say: Who can
find a greater illustration of sacrifice
than Hannah, the mother of Eamuel.
Hannah was a barren woman. For a
wife of that day not to ibe able to
bear children was the greatest of all
calamities. Hannah’s grief was great.
She took it to the Lord 1 in prayer.
God heard her prayer and gave her
a baby, and she named him Samuel.
She promised God that if He would
give her this boy she would Tend 1 him
to God all his life. When Samuel
was about five ydars old she took
him to the priest, Eli, in the Temple
and told him the story an~ left her
boy there to be trained for servive
in the Kingdom of God. And he
made one of the greatest servants
God ever had. That was sacrifice on
Hannah’s part.
Patient service can be illustrated
by every normal mother. I think of
my own mother here. She had all the
mother responsibilities of ten chil
dren that she raised to" maturity. She
would get up early and work until
late preparing and cooking food,
working, washing and ironing our
clothes, taking eare of us when we
were sick. All with but little fuss.
Patient service! Most mothers stay
behind the curtain and do the drud-
gery while their loved 1 ones are on
the stage and getting the applause.
Without her we could never make it.
Mother’s love is nearer kin to the
love of God than any other love in
the world'. The mother of Moses
looked into his precious face and saw
that he was a goodly child, and did
the impossible. Your mother and
mine went down into the very jaws
you out of the 'breadline. It’s the re
serve of Faith in God and Love lot
Man that holds people steady in
times of stress.
All this is so simple and' so true
that it looks like eveiybody but a
bom olunce would build up these re
serves and 'be ready for life’s emer
gencies. Abounding energy is but fha
overflow of stored up vitality. Dig

who knows how, “never to 'be unem

considerable reserve of time and en

There’s a great cry today for that
elusive and transient thing called am
curity. Whatever margin of it jam
may have will be found in the money
you haven't spent and not in tha
money you are going to make. Your
mind may get downright happy over
the prospect. Your back will credit
