THE TANAGER
COLBERT HIGH SCHOOL
VACATION
‘‘Where the rivers swishing cool and
slow,
The Lord made fishing and a feller
tirt to go. ”
—Frank L. Stanton
O.ie of the most deplorable fea
tures of our present day civilization
is the tendency to regard only those
things that are man-made as being
worth while, especially with refer
ence to the various forms of divei
sions.
When we desire pleasure to break
the monotony of our work-day lives,
we seek those forms that are stimu
lating, highly amusing and exciting,
rather than those that are restful
and soothing.
We go to baseball and foot ball
games, dances, the “movies” and sim
ilar places of amusement instead of
fishing, boating, swimming in the
‘ ole hole, taking long walks through
the woods or working in the fields or
gardens.
This to my mind is the chief rea
son for agi eat many of the deplora
ble happenings (accounts of which
fill the columns of the daily newspa
pers,) Suicides, robberies, murders,
and a long list of lesser crimes a
eainst society. Since a great many
of them are committed under stress
r . nervous strain induced by
working under artificial conditions,
v 'ith amusements which produce even
b’.gher tension the result will eventu
fi l!y be disastrous to body, mind or
fa orals or all three.
The pupils of Colbert High School
hie fortuuate in that they will spend
ttoir vacation in the “country” and
the purpose of this article is to at
torr nt to convince them of this fact.
So do not stalk blindly through and
by the many wonderful things with
dch it will be. your pTivilege to
come in contact during the summer.
b ; t you may become appreciative of
tre -e facts: Caruso, the great singer
a.i tries never produced such mel
*' y as does your favorite feathered
s °ngster, the artist never lived who
J jd catch all the glory of the sun
and sunsets it will be your priv-
ilege to behold; the Leaning Tower
of Pisa is net more marvelous than
the facts about hereditary and envi
ronment which you may learn at
first hand by the proper study of the
various forms of plant and animal
life about you; no “movie” could be
as interesting as the habits and hab
itat of the smaller animals. And
the numerous other wonders of na
ture which will surround you are en
tirely beyond the best products cf
man’s creative power.
Keep these things in mind during
your vacation and you will come
back to your work in September re
freshed and eager to take hold of the
tasks which confront you.
I hope that vacation time will
bring to all of you:
boyhood’s painless play,
Sleep that wakes in laughing day,
Health that mocks the doctor’s rules
Knowledge never learned in schools!”
—Hope P. Davis

SUCCESSFUL SEASON
As this is the last issue of “The
Tanager” for the scholastic year
1924-25, I shall attempt to tell of
the accomplishments of the Atblet.c
Association.
On Sept. sth, this association was
organized for the purpose of sup
porting athletics in the school.
It has certainly carried out its aim.
The basket tall team had a very
successful season and its suc
cess was largely due to this associ
ation. As for the base ball team, it
has not done so well, but thru no
fault of the association. They have
furnished everything necessary ex
cept uniforms and the team would
not permit it to do that.
We hope that it will be reorgan
ized next year and do as good work
as it has done in the past.
C. H. S.
Hail to C. H. S. the sc’ 00l were
proud of. We as boys and girls of
C H. S. owe much to the school.
We are very gia'eful to our parent ,
teachers, trustees and e ery one in
the community who has contributed
tc the succe s of C. H. S.
The school has grown like magic
for the past few years; while o r
enrollment has decieased a sma 1
per cent by le-p’e mev ng away to
get work, we have increased in many
ways. The faculty has been added
to and the eleventn grade has bee 1
taught for the first time.
Our ba.ket ball team equipment
has dneressed as well as t'e boys
knowledge ands Kill in playing the
game.
There *s a Drimatie Club, Ath’ec
ic Association , two literary societies
a Tennis club, baseball and many o.b
er sports in the school, contriouting
largely toward its success. e
have grown so that we now have a
nice new school building nearing com
pletion, the improvement that we feel
more than proud of, and we hope t >
see a greater C. H. S. We think
the accomplishments of the past a' e
good, yet we believe them to be small
compared with the future. We hope
to soon be’ cn the accredited lisst and
on our wings instead cf our feet.
Let ns as we enter on our high
school career, strive to five up to the
high ideals of C. H. S. (which we
bbelieve to be the school of schools)
stands for and cast no 1 - a shad w of
reflection on her -tn rr.avd.
The Seven'r. Grade
LITERARY SOCIETY
The Literary Societies have been
praised very highly this year for good
work.
Several plays have been given, the
proceeds of which ivent to the library
fund.
By the help of the Literary Socie
ties and contests of different kinds,
almost a hundred dollars have been
raised to be used for buying books
for the library.
The societies are to be congratu
lated on their good work, for it has
helped the school in more ways than
one.
Everyone is glad to te of help in
any way and are proud of what the
societies have done the past year.

Laid away with greater-t care—
Days of sunshine, song and fiowe s,

LAST HIGH SCHOOL DAYS AT
COLBERT HIGH SCHOOL
We are about to finish our last
school days at dear old C. H. S. and
since we have become so much at—
tachcd to it, our teachers and school
chums, it is hard to think about say
ing goodbye, much less actually do
ing it. The reason I say that we
have become much attached to the
place and its surroundings, is that it
is here that most of us have spent
all of our school days,from the pri
mary' grade? up, where, as we real
ize now, the most enjoyable days of
our lives have been passed; it is bere
that we obtained our first “bo„k
learning.” The playgrounds have
been the scenes of many hard fought
battles in basket ball as well as m
many other gamjs. In short it >.s
here that we began our lives in striv
ing to build the invisible frame work
of character, a foundation that is so
essential, in order that we might se
cure success in life. . But if we
we have fallen short of this, it is our
own fault, for we believe that we
have been under the direction of a.
most efficient corps of teachers, who
have endeavored with all their might
to develop our moral and intellect
ual nature. And we feel that our
future attainments shall in a large
measure be due to cur instructors
for what they have done for us du
ring our high school course, and we
are verygrateful to them.
No matter where we may go we
we will always remember 0. Id. S.
and we will always feel honored that
we have graduated from it.
So we are bidding you Farewell,
hoping that the coming school years
at C. H. S. will bring much pleas
ure and profit to you.

OKEECHOBEE AND CATFISH.
WHERE CONOKRS GETS RICH.
FALSE ECONOMY.
LUCKY JAPANESE BABY.
OKEECHOBEE CITY is the
newest Florida city. Two years
ago men were there catching a few
catfish. Now it is a boom town,
thanks to S. Davies Warfield, pres
ident of the Seabord Air Line, who
ran his new straight-as-an-arrow
rail toad across Florida to Palm
Beach with a station at this point.
Now Lake Okeechobee yields one
million dollars worth of catfish a
year, most of it shipped to Kansas
City and St. Louis, where catfish
are appreciated as they should be.
Tourists come honking by the thou
sands and W. J. Conners, who owns
the Buffalo Courier and most of the
land around here, is getting richer
than ever.
You will be interested in this la
test boom land even out of season.
Also in the poor ycung Seminole
Indian wife buried beside the rail
road track and in O. P. Lamerson
the ferryman leaving Florida with
his two sons for Columbia, South
America, because land here is too
dear.
Wh<>n you come to Florida take
the Seaboard Air Line, save time
and see the western part of Flori
da as well as the north and south
and the east coast. Travel over
the high backbone of the peninsula,
which travelers usually miss, with
its wonderful lake region. Also you
save many miles by the airline
road and help to justify the opti
mistic courage of Mr. Warfield,
who has rendered the greatest pos
sible service to this state.
Merchants and others complain
that Mr. Coolidge’s preaching and
pranticing of economy have hurt

Everybody know3 that prosper
ity for all classes depends on
CIRCULATION of money. If
ture decided to save up water and
keep it all in the ocean, instead of
scattering it around in rain, crops
wouldn’t be good. Money spent
is to business what rain is to
crops.
One angry merchant suggests:
“To set an example in economy
the best plan is not to have an
old straw hat reblocked and ad
vertiro that. It would be better ,
to lay up the Mayflower, the ex
pensive pleasure boat such as
neither Washington nor Lincoln
ever had, and save enough on coal
to buy 100,000 new 3traw hats.”
President Coolidge does not
recommend foolish economy, but
wise economy. As for the May
flower, the country is rich enough
to let the President enjoy the
fresh air, and is glad to give him
whatever he can wisely use.
As regards spending, the wise
man’s plan is to buy what he
needs when he needs it, remem
bering that a good appearance ie
a wise investment, and that there
is nothing moro costly than
FALSE ECONOMY.
Japan’s Prince Regent, Hiro Hl
to, tells the empire that his wife
expects an heir. The Princess can
cels all engagements. L*.e will de
vote her time, before and after, to
that new little “son —or daughter—
of Heaven," and will think herself
well rewarded for all her care
when the baby smiles at her. No
ono will persuade her that “in jus
tice to your own health, and looks,
my dear, you must not THINK of
nursing the baby.” And she won’t
bo smoking cigarettes in bed three
days after it is bom.
In Japan if you raise your hand
to a little child, frowning, and
threatening, the child will laugh,
kno’i'ing that you pretend. No
one there ever strikes a child.
That’s one reason why the Japan
ese fight so well, when they do
fight. The Japanese spirit is not
broken in childhood.
The President hopes, and is de
termined, to cut $300,000,000 moro
off the nation’s tax bill. That
comforts the “better element.” At
present, our very best clement feels
toward the tax gatherer as the
faithful dominick hen feels toward
the farmer, gathering her eggs as
fant as she lays them, and giving
her a doer kiv.b when she wants
