Sallyis Correspondence Thursday nite Dear Maggie : Wlioopsl We sure did have one more good time last nite-l'll sav so. The Hi-Y boys had a box supper and all the bunch went on it. We furnished the boxes, we did. We all met at the school about 7 oiclock and there they auctioned our boxes off. Nlr. Hughes kept urging them on till they bid nearly 592 on mine. ,lust think. one of those boys wanted nt, lunch so had they paid two dollars. I'll bet it was me they wanted. Anti I sure was lucky 'cause the very one I wanted to got mine. Gosh! 11 sure wuz a pretty nitehmoonlite and everything. We went from thc school down across a log and everything to get there-and the funnies- thing happened-a whole lot of 'em fell in-poor Mary-she had on het new stockings and they cost 33 too. But we didn't mind that ,cause wa, had such a good time. They promised to give us a picnic or 'possum hunt or SOITICIHIII5 pretty soon for furnishing the eats last nite. I sure do wish they'd give it next week. I'll write you again in a few days if youill write me. Yours till the bed springs, SALLY. 'X- if- Y Centenary Academy Sunday Afternoon Darling Maggie: It seems like one good time ust follows another here at our school. The I-li-Y boys finally gave us that all-day picnic that weive been waiting for so long yesterday. It was just a dream-lasted all day long. They gave it down at Ninoch. To start the day off right-several of the boys had a pretty little party in the river. Bob and Theron started over to the other side in a boat-Buster and Doc were in another boat. We all knew something was up when Bob and Theron rowed up so close to the other boat. And sure enough-that crazy Theron jumped from one boat to the other boat and started rocking the boat-and of course it finally sunk. Doc, poor boy, lost three pounds in weight he was so scared-they all three had to swim in-they were the first swimmers of the season. Honey, I could just write on forever and never finish telling all thc things we did out there. I wish I had time to tell you about the pictures we took of all those wet clothes hanging on the line and everything else-- and about how funny old Helen Ruth looked chasing around after Skeeter in that game we played called Rachel and Jacob-and about all the good things we had to eat-all kinds of pop 'neverything-and about how disgusted Mr. Hebert was with us all. But Mag-I hear the supper bell ringing so I'll quit. Yours till the giraffe necks, SALLY.

The Football Banquet The first big event of the year was the Football Banquet, given in honor of the Eagles of '24, on the roof of the Washington, December 18, 1924. lt was a crowning success. This banquet was the most elaborate affair ever tendered an Academy football team. There were fifteen letter men sitting at the football table. The program, which was rendered through the evening, was enjoyed by all. Mr. Theron Brown acted as toastmaster. Following a short talk by Swede Anderson of the Centenary Gentlemen, the football boys were presented with their letters. Mirth reigned throughout the evening, ,mid all the confetti, whistles a11d various other favors. A -X The Hi-Y Trip Thirteen delegates from the Academy Hi-Y Club attended the Older Boys, Conference held in Homer, La., during the month of February. The Academy club had been organized only a month, but made a fine showing at the conference, putting the Academy Hi-Y Club on the map as the third best club in North Louisiana. Entertainment galore was furnished the boys while in Homer by the residents of that city. Much fun and frolic was enjoyed along with the more serious programs and inspirational addresses. The Academy aided in bringing the conference to Shreveport next year.
