FUN FROLIC AND
AND OTHERWISE AT
WINDER HI SCHOOL
Miss Clayton: Bertram, when was
the revival of learning?
Bertram : Just before the last exams.
There are meters of accent,
And meters of tone,
But the best of all meters
Is to meet her alone.
—Sir Sid’s Opinion
“The bursting buds, the blushing
roses, the approaching finals and the
accumulating zeros announce the ar
rival of spring.”
Member of the Senior class —Mr.
Cash, grammatically speaking which
is correct to say ‘I shall be or I will
be’ under restrictions?
Mr. Cash—The present tense is cor
rect. You are under restrictions.
In Honor of ‘Tete.”
One of the most enjoyable social
events of last week end was the picnic
given at Reeves Mill by Messrs. Wood
lin Hill, Hubert Reeves and Sam Au
try in honor of Miss Edith House, pres
ident and valedictorian of the senior
class.
The guests left abut 4 :30 Friday af
ternoon and after arriving at the mill
spent several hours in swimming, hunt
ing wild flowers and having a good
time in general. About sunset a deli
cius lunch was served on the banks ot
the river.
Those enjoying the hospitality were
Misses Imogene Herrin, Lila Moore,
Elise Starr, Edith House, Annie Lee
McDonald, Gladys Eavenson, Frances
Hubbard, Margaret Walker, Mars
(Juacterman and Gertrude Mott and
Messrs. Legree Jacobs, Hearst Bagwell,
Frank Bondurant, Harod Starr, Kinch
Carpenter, Cay Camp, Alton Young,
and Charles Harris.
The party was chaperoned by Misses
Alma Haygood, Christine Clayton and
Sarnmie Davis. This picnic was the
first of the social events that will be
given in the near future in honor of
the members of this years’ graduating
class.
On our way to school one (lay,
We made up to stay away,
We went wading in the pool,
And played “liookie” from the school.
Then we rambled ‘round the park
Didn’t get home till nearly dark.
All our mammas had big straps"—
‘Xough said. On April Fool day, the
citizens of Winder smiled as they saw
a large number of the student body ot
Winder High riding around over town
and having a good time. It possibly
reminded them of the good old days
when they played bookie from the old
school.
There Is no doubt but that everyone of
the “evilders” enjoyed their little game
of hookie, but the facuty equally en
joyed their little game of punishment
meted out to the miscreants. Monday
morning at recess a sad looking bunch
was assembled on the campus. The
seniors had gloomy expressions on
their faces for they were informed that
the only privilege that had been grant
ed them would be taken away and that
they would not be given a school day
for the class picnic, but that it would
have to occur on Saturday, if at all.
y n visitor should come to Winder
High a strange sight would greet his
eyes. He would see Freshmen, Soph
omores and Juniors walking al>out over
the building and campus with copies of
Gray’s Elegy written in a country
church yawl in their hands, trying to
commit it to memory and feeling sore
at the fellow who first started the game
of Hookie.
The members of the graduating class
thought that the consequences which
they were to suffer were perfectly aw
ful. but when the form of punishment
was read out for the lower classmen,
all of them exclaimed “Gee! I'm glad
I’m a Senior.”
Sacred Harp Singing
There will l)e an all-day Sacred Harp
singing at the First Baptist church in
Winder Sunday. April 17th. All are in
vited. old and young, and are request
ed to bring all the old Sacred Harp
song books they can find.

AND THE BARROW TIMES
CREDIT.
Tips year will bring unsettled
times, because of readjusting the
merchant princes need their dimes,
and they’ll be slow at trusting.
They’ll not give credit left and right
as lately they’ve been doing, and
frowns will greet the slow-pay
weight wlio'd buy a plug of chewing.
And many men this year, I guess,
will need a slice of credit, for read
justment brings distress—the bank
ing sharps have said it. Now he
who’s kept his stand—off bright will
know the easy sledding and mer
chant princes will delight to sell him
books or bedding. However strin
gent money is, the lamps for him
are burning; to see his good old hon
est phiz, the merchants all are yearn
ing. And if he asks to buy on time
a grindstone or a hammer, the leal
ers 'on his person climb, with glad,
exultant clamor. There’ll never be
a time so tight that men of reputa
tion for having always acted right,
can’t get accommodation. A repu
tation as good pay is better far than
rubies, and men who do not think
that way must travel with the boo
bies. The melancholy days are here
suspended “tick” will daunt them;
and bills they should have paid last
fall will rise like ghosts and haunt
them.

LOVE, HONOR AND
BEHAVE AT STRAND
Both Married and Unmarried Will Get
Tickled. —Here for Two Days
Thursday and Friday.
A departure from Mack Sennet com
edy tradition is promised in the “Love
Honor and Behave” vehicle which will
be shown at The Strand Theater two
clays this week, Thursday and Friday.
Charlie Murray, hero of a inilion ep
isodes, will be introduced in a role of
legitimate appeal. He will imperson
ate a "grave and reverend” Judge of
the Supreme Court, playing the part
with dignity and power. This revolu
tionary role will be revealed in the
opening scenes of the story when Jus
tice* and Romance will come in contact,
Marie Prevost, a bride, and George
O’Hara, her young husband, appear be
fore “Judge” Murray, carrying to the
halls of justice the fragrance of a ro
mance about to die. Here, it is point
ed out, is a sincere and authentic pic
ture of dramatic material, treated in
a sympathetic and dignified manner,
with ever so slight a wink of tin* eye
on the part of the learned jurist. Not
long, however, does the plot remain in
the atmosphere of staid drama, for the
jurist, in order to convince the jealous
bride of the innocence of her bride
groom, tells a story of his own expe
rience when he too was a bridegroom;
the said story's purport being to dis
credit circumstantial- evidence.
It is this story that forms the bulk
of the episodes depicted in “Love, Hon
or and Behave”—episodes that bring
Murray to his traditional characteri
zations in hilarious fun and thrilling
predicaments. Murray’s story which
is seen on the screen but spoken to her,
convinces the piquant Marie of the in
justice of her suspicions and the in
tegrity of her husband's love. It in
cidentally bears a moral for tbe mar
ried and the unmarried, but mainly it
promotes mirth, unrestrained laughter
and genuine thrills.
Increased Church At
tendance in Winder.
The completion of a number of the
highways leading into Winder lias ma
terially increased attendance upon the
church services of our town. The
country people are gradually learning
that they have a royal welcome to the
churches of Winder; that they can help
materially in building th e right sort of
civic life, and they are availing them
selves of the oportunities of attending
preaching oftener than once month.
We cordially welcome the good roads
and the country people. Come as of
ten as you can, the oftener the better,
and a wide-open, old-fashioned country
welcome awaits you every Sunday in
every one of our progressive and up
to-date churches.

and about the size of a twenty dollar
gold piece of American money. No
