On Saturday, February 14th, the I’hi Gamma Society had a Valentine party 1 . Everybody had lots of fun. The purpose of this party was to raise funds for the library. The Literary Societies sponsored a play, “Home Acres”, which was pre sented by the Progress school at the Colbert school building, Friday night, Fob. Gth. This play was enjoyed by every one present. If we keep on like we’v e started out we're going to have a library some day. NEW TRUSTEE IS ELECTED On account of Mr. L. A. Herring moving out of Colbert .School Disfiict Mr. G. L. Williams ~\vas elected trustee in Mr. Herring’s place; it is believed that he will fall in line and make a good trustee. HISTORY Every day we are making history. History is a record ot events. Our history may never be recorded, but nevertheless somebody will remem ber and when we have passed on vhut we leave to memory, will be all that is left of us. We have been told that history is “ail bunk”, and there is some truth in the charge, be cause history depends upon records, a ,nd records depend upon human ob servation and memory and they are at times a frail dependence. Tbe best witnesses confl ct —even dates whirh should be of mathematical pre cision are falsified and confused, so that tombstones have been known to lie. Yet with all its defections his tory remains tbe most essential of human studies. The only way to know anything ofl the future is to study the past. We must have some knowledge of what has already hap pened before we can make even the vaguest guess at what is going to happen. An illustration of this is an individual. You want to hire a man in your business the first thing you do is to find out somelhing about him. You want to know where he has lived, where he has worked, whether he has succeeded or failed. You would like to know what his re ligious belief has been, what his ed ucation is—in other words you want to learn his history. Humanity is only one great indi vidual, and history is that individu al’s memory. You have to open the pwges of your own history every day of your life. liven though memory is full of flaws and imperfections, yet what are we when memory is gone? Bodies without souls. With history it is the >ame, yet with all its imperfections, we should not a bandon the study of it, but it should make us humble in the pursuit of tnith, and considerate in the appli cation of it. —Woman’s Club. be it resolved —That every boy and girl should be in school. —That every day can be useful. —That study is necessary. —That excuses wont pay. —To do more work and less play. —To think of others more tl an ourselves. —To be prompt in all things. —That you know what you are talking about. -—To read morq. —That friends beat enemies. —To boost the library drive. —Leclare Hardman. 7th grade. (LA WINS COUNTY TOURNAMENT The Madison County basket ball tournament, held in Danielsville, Friday and Saturday, Fed). 20 and 21, was a tremendous success from a financial standpoint as well as in its happy ending, with evidences of good sportir.anship all through the tournament, and in enjoyment of the large crowd present. Six games were played in all, Co mer easily defeating Bond in the first game 27-10; Diamond Hill went down before Meadow in the second game to the tune of 33-1 i|. And then came the big game of the tournament Colbert vs 11a. This was the best game of the day if not the tourna ment, and Ila came from behind in the last four minutes to win 22-16. The first game Saturday morning hefween Danielsville and Comer was a 'thriler and although Comer won 21-16, Danielsville thieatened all the way. In the second morning garr.e Ha easily defeated Meadow 59-13. Ilain which began early afternoon prevented further playing on the out-door court, so that the last game was fought between Comer and Ila, on the Y. M. C. A. court at Ath ens. This game was a thriller all the way. At the end of the first half the score was tied. At the beginning of the last half, both teams came back fighting; it looked as if neither of the teams could gain the advantage over the ether. In the last ten minutes of the game, Ha’s offense ran wild, run ning up a score of 26-16, although both teams fought hard to the sound ing of the final whistle. Leonard Vaughn of Ila won the useful man trophy. The tournament was handled by “Dub” Thornton, £is work was high ly praised by both the teams and spectators.
