Here They
Come Again
It's an old subject but it still
creates interes. Those ole' six-
weeks exams are as regular as
clock work but cheer up, “the worst
is yet to come.”
It seems as if a person can hard
ly get over the affect of one exam
Keeping Up
With Lizzie
The hardest thing I've ever tried
to do was to keep up with my old
dog, Lizzy.
Only last week, I crossed the
road, to spin a top. She came after
me and a car ran over her tail.
She began to run and yell. I heard
Mr. Stringfellow's
Sad Mistake
before another is popped upon *> cr only a few minutes Then she
you once aeain | began to run and yell. I heard her
you once again
These teachers nrmiy oeneve r ' -----
that “if at first you don't succeed I *« sone. I didn't see Her all day
try, try again.” So this time we'ir 1 f ‘g urcd , she was gone, but when
have a chance to make up all those su ?P e L*_ m l C ?uTL„ S .° d „ d
awful marks we made before!
Mr. Joiner has conceived a new
and a better way of handling our
exams for they are going to Iasi
two days at our regular class per
iods. This is being done in order to
help the teacher as well as the pu
pil.

The Stakes Are High
(Hugh Sealy)
All the Seniors have a studious
look; they are not quite so gay.
To some the Seniors look as if
some catastrophe has occurred. To
others it looks as if the Seniors
are worried about something.
Well, the Seniors have been
really worried this week. But it is
not about something that has hap-1 again. Then I heard a bark, lonely
As soon as the boys got wise to
her scare, they decided to do some
thing else to scare her. Taking a
sardine can, they put some mar
bles in it, for they knew that Lizzy
was very sensitive. Two days later
I found her at a friend's house
about the silly little can that was
dangling to her tail when she
spotted a cat. They kept her up for
me and she was well fit to go
back home.
The next day, I took her fishing
with me. The first bite I got, in
went Lizzy. I suppose she thought
something was trying to take my
line. She drifted out into the mid
dle of the stream and the swift
water carried her down stream. 1
thought that she would surely
drown.
As I was going home, I went
down stream to try to see her once

pened, but it is about something
that is happening or is going to
happen. The Seniors have been
working very hard on essays for
the Rich's Contest and we are wor
ried about what Mr. Joiner will
say (Ha! Ha!) or maybe it is that
they have been worrying because
they have been working hard on
these essays and work is strictly
against the rules with the Seniors.
The stakes are high in this con
test. The best essay in the stale
gets for its writer a four year
scholarship to some Georgia
school with ALL expenses paid the
first year. The first prize in each
county will receive twenty-five dol
lars; the second best will get $10.
for the best essay in each Congres
sional District, the writer will get
$25.00.
On May 11, 1942, a banquet will
be held for the county winners
and their teachers. At this banquet
the winner of the grand prize and
the Congressional District winners
will be announced.
Oh! I forgot to tell you the sub
ject of the essay. It is “The Citi
zen of My Connty Who Has Con
tributed the Most to the State of
Georgia.” We have selected ten
different citizens to write on.
As I said the stakes are high and
our Seniors just have about one
chance in ten thousand, but we
are playing our odds just that
way. We hope, pray and somehow
believe (maybe it's a sixth sense)
that one of our Seniors is going to
win that scholarship.
Three large rooms, private bath,

1. We're sorry Reynolds isn't
larger. Lamarr (accented on the
first “a”) and Sue think Reynolds
isn't large enough so they have to
go to Butler.
2. Sara says she's getting along
just fine with her fellow. We won
der which one. She says she has
nine, but we think only two. You
see, it all dates back to Valentine's
Day when she received tu f o Valen
tines each having on it, “To My
Wife.”
3. Where in the world did James
Bailey get his two gray hairs?
Who's bothering your “new terri
tory,” James?
4. Gloria may tease Nellie lots
about “Key” but let us tell you
something, Nellie. We're afraid
Gloria's the one who's gonna give
you competition.
5. fitter watch your step, Chris
tine, because the other day one
junior girl said to the others, “Lets
go down to David's.” Another sanc
tioned “Oh, lets do.”
6. We're wise to those little
spats, Booty and Wootie have. All
admirers have their outs.
7. Edmund says that girls are
bad luck. Dorothy costs him
$159.85, through a car wreck.
8. When trying to persade Sara
i to wink at Reginald, she replied,
j “Nuh-uh, I don't do that when ev-
evryody's looking.”
9. Earl Hightower has been ap
proved of as Marinan's new flame.
10. Wonder why Billy's hair is
getting sorta splotchy? Couldn't be
‘cause he's the only boy in the
typing class.
11. Why is it that Sydney can't
keep a window in his car? It
and shivering behind me. As I
looked down, I saw Lizzy licking
my shoe. I stopped and dried her
off. She, I thought, would follow
me home, all right, but as I reach
ed the house, I looked behind me,
expecting to see Lizzy, who wasn't
there. I went back to try to trace
her, and so I thought, looked all
over the woods. Wearily and very
disappointed,- I again began my
journey homeward. I passed a hol
low tree, and hearing a squeal, I
looked inside. There was Lizzy,
scrambling with a oppossum. Pret
ty soon, put came Lizzie, tail first
dragging a dead oppossum. I took
Lizzy under the right arm, and ^the
oppossum under the other. When
I reached home again, I chained
Lizzy to a tree. I didn't care to go
dog hunting again.

Juniors Of ’41 -’42
Smallest comes first, they always
say,
Her brain becomes smaller from
day to day.
His hair now has that golden tint,
But that gold isn't worth a cent.
She's very small with hair like can
dy,
But when she is needed, she
never handy.
His hair is red, his eyes are brown
It would take but one lick to knock
him down.
She always sees through glasses,
aid is full of fun,
But when she can't be found is
when there's work to be done.
He's Lil' Abner, but he's not from
Dogpatch,
There's no Daisy Mae, and no
“pickled turnip” patch.
About the boys she never did
hanker,
Until one gave her an anchor.
When at play, he’s heard all over
the house,
When the teacher comes in, he's
quiet as a mouse.
She's very timid, or seems to be,
But to her friends, she talks of a
“he.”
He often talks in a dog dilect,
But calling the pigs is his regular
teck.
Even tho she has a way,
She will remind you of Martha
Ray.
His head, if given a little tap
Shows that it holds only a cap.
Her shoes slip up and down on her
feet,
But the rest of her clothes are al
ways neat.
Just because he's such a little
biddy
The juniors and seniors call him
“Ditty.”
Her speed in typing makes her
think, •
That all her elephants will be
pink.

(Continued Next Week.)
Judge Hawkins and a friend
were hunting in the mountains of
North Carolina during the Christ
mas holidays. They had gone pre
pared to stay for about a week and
had pitched camp on the banks of
a swift mountain stream which
wound around the mountains like
a huge snake.
One day, accompanied by a guide
they set out to hunt for bears.
About the middle of the day it
began to snow rather hard and
the judge asked the guide if he
knew of a shelter that was con
venient for the time being.
“Yep” replied the guide, “but its
about a mile from here on the side
of a mountain and its pretty rough
going. You have to follow a trail
no wider than a pig path.”
“That will have to do tho,” re
plied the judge, "for it's about four
miles back to camp and we might
get lost in all this snow and freeze
to death."
"Yep, it WOULD be mighty risky
trying to go four miles in a bliz
zard like this,” said the guide.
Without a moment's hesitation
they set out to find the shelter. On
the way up the side of the moun
tain the judge slipped on a rock
and would have fallen off a steep
precipice to his doom but for a
small tree which he grabbed and
held securely.
Finally they reached the small,
shabby-looking cottage for which
they were searching and were met
at the door by a tall, lean, shabby
looking man with a shotgun in his
hand.
“Whut yo’ want?” he asked.
“We're looking for a shelter
from this storm, mister,” said the
judge. “We have no intention of
harming you.”
They finally convinced the man
that they meant him no harm but
were just looking for a shelter and
would like to have something to
warm them up a little and he
stepped back and let them come
in.
“We're much obliged to you,”
said the judge, “for giving us
shelter, Mr.--er’--
“Stringfellow is the name, suh,”
replied the old man, “and this
here's my boy Tommy and that's
my wife.”
“I'm Judge Hawkins from Atlan
ta, Ga. This is my friend, Mr. Wat
kins, and our guide, Mr. Thomas”
said the Judge.
"Well, we is glad to give you a
shelter from the blizzard,” said Mr
Stringfellow. “Now, I know you
folks would like to have some hot
coffee to sorta warm up, so I'll just
run back to the kitchen and make
is some.”
While his wife was making the
coffee, Mr. Stringfellow told them
why he greeted them with a shot
gun and spoke so harshly to them.
“It's like this,” said Mr. String
fellow. "A few years ago I left
early in the morning to go bear
hunting. When I returned late that
evening, I found a man at the
I house making love to my wife.
‘ When I realized what was going
on behind my back, I got madder'n
a wet hen. I threw up my rifle and
killed the man right there. Every
year since then this man's spirit
has returned at this very time of
the year and I've never been able
to kill it, but if it comes back this
year I’m a'goin to shoot it right
square in the head.”
At this moment the man sud
denly stopped talking, and the
judge saw an expression of horror
come over his face. The man just
said, “Look!” and pointed toward
the window. The judge looked and
at the same time tne man fired
and he saw something drop out
side the window. Everyone was too
frightened to go out and see if he
killed the “spirit” that night but
the next morning as the Judge, his
iriend and the guide were leaving,
the guide looked over by the win
dow and saw the body of Mr.
Stringfellow's pet Collie dog* lying
in the snow.

Our Glee Club
We've had a rest these last few
days from "Old Black Joe” and
“Chattanooga Choo-choo.” Mr'.
Joiner's had us marching, of all
things. It seems that we are to
have a processional Friday night
and we had td learn “Old Glory,”
or else (said Mr. Joiner).
The Glee Club has been asked to
sing several numbers on the coun
ty program but due to our march
ing, we've had hardly no time to
practice. SO I guess we'll fall back
on “Old Black Joe” aind “Chatta
nooga Choo-choo” again.
If you'll excuse this very short
article, ladies and gentlemen, I'll
listen. We happen to be practicing
for our program tonight.
