That makes nine children in six years. They won the National prize for the most boys in one year. I don’t see how he does it. Charley Walters, the Stradivarius of modern times, has a new $50,000 a week contract in the Fox pictures, and also a new baby boy who will no doubt be a violinist. Faye 17. Anderson is in Africa with her charming husband who is teaching the natives modern jazz music. Faye is giving vocal land dancing lessons. The famous movie star Virginia PeeWee Cosper, the Mae West i of 1074, was married for the eighth time,. Chis time 3he married Mr. Virgil Burtcher, who bought the larges' brewery in the world in honor of the occasion. 'e don't see how he stays in condition I to drive his new racing airplane. Dolrh Duncan r nd 'alter Lockhart incorporated her cow ranch ! his horse ranch when they wore married in the city of Neblet, | New Mexico last night, i'.or. Lockhart has been granted nine di-I vorces in the last ten years. Let's hope that this one lasts. Nellie Rainville, instead of singing in Phoenix, chose to sing to Buster Gilillespe on a cow ranch twenty miles west of Duncan, Arizona. (Tough luck Girlie) Mac Matheson and Jcan Hempstead have at last united the City Meat Market and Duncan Drug otore. Most of us have almost given up hope. The couple are on their way to becoming millionair as they own the two stores and Mac is an inventor of great fane. Reed Dees is the editor of the second largest news paper in the United States, he has located his place of business on the Mrin Street of Duncan, Arizona. His newspaper is written in 25 foreign languages and is said to be the most unusual newspaper in the world. He is the brains of the Soughv est. Duncan was indeed shocked to hear that our ex-yell leader of DUI 3 Josie is the proud mother of a 14-£ pound boy. Now DUHS can look for ard for another yell leader. They haven't had one since Josie graduated. CThe dear Gal). . . J. T. Gentry, butter known as Bob Hancock II has changed the '■'ite Hou e Grocery Store into a department store. Marlin F. Aker and hi charming bride, Margaret Girard sailed South America thi3 morning, where they will build their future home. Howard Arnett liftud 1199-5- pounds to-day to show the public how strong he was, in spite of the fact that he has lost both ears in a tussel with his wife.

The orchestra started in 1935 with four high school musicians. ..reel Lunt has united Stinger E, Tumbling T, E-L, X-U, Railroad track, Lazy D-$ brands and raches. Y hat a rustler.

Agnes (Malone) .'xton has set the fashion for 1976 and '77 for married women. Leao Osborne became principal of the DUHS. The first woman principal that has ever J q at DUHS. Often she turns 250 p und : brutes over her knees and precedes to make blisters. Miss Dorothy Stoc’bridge, the owner 'f Duncan's Library, was married to Alvin G;-le. They will make their futre home in Duncan. (Alvin, be kind to her.)

S. were very successful, according t' tradition the classes met at the first of the ye r -nd drew un r schedule of their activities. These activities consisted of dances, parties, and picnics. It seems th t in the middle of the ye r p°rties came so f st and furious th t soon every one was tired of them and a large number of them hid to be canceled. Just a j?i picnics were held but those that . ere held were enjoyed by -11 present. The D Club sponsored ■ huge carnival and dar.ee, both of which were howling successes. The main event of the y r, however, was the Junior-eenior Prom and banquet. ..t the Banquet the eats were swell and the speeches weren’t too boresome. The Prom, too, was the best in years. Another High Light of the y c r was the Banquet given by the Duncan Valley Boosters Club for the Football squad, ■this feed was given because of the appreciation the club had for the very successful accord the squad mr.de. Many speeches were delivered. Some by members if the Club and some by the faculty members, and also from one of the football members (Karlin Aker) Mr. Ellsworth was the Toastmaster and everyone present enjoyed his jolly attitude. The student body as n whole seemed more active this year and from 11 indications promises to be a live wire school next year.

The Vildcats were wildcats during the ame and took on Globe like a nobleman of England v ould take on a ham actor in the sixteenth century. Coach Cromer of Globe °-aid that his team was so sure of victor- ov r Duncan that he could get them to turn out but once during the proceedin'- week. DOGS With a stinging defeat of 72--0 by Jafford last season still fresh in their minds, the Wildcats vowed re enge when they took the field against the Bulldogs this year. When the ill-tempered Bulldogs of Jafford c: me to Duncan, the Wildcats were in the best of condition. Holcomb, of Jafford made great efforts to carry the pigskin across the goal line--but s apprehended by our mighty Herscheell Gilliland many times during the game. Edwin O’Daymade the only touch down.

Santee, Duncan High School has had an excellent music department . This year the Hand was a marvelous success. The American Legion Post at Clifton chose the D. U. H. S. Band to lead the Department Parade at the State Convention in Tucjcr.. The Band gave several concerts this year in neighboring towns and at home, although the Bend will lose several of their musicians this year, everyone is looking forward to a successful season next year too. BOY’S GLEE CLUB This year was the third year that Duncan has had a Boy's Glee Club. The boys seem to enjoy this course whether they can sing or not. It is possible that nobody else in school enjoys the boy's singing. GIRL'S GLEE CLUB The Girl's Glee Club was an exceptional one this year in spite of the fact tha.t every year the girls have a very successful club. OPERETTA This year under Mr. Santee the music department gave an operetta entitled Jewels of the Desert. Singing and dancing were the best features of this production.

He v;as a dried up wizen little fellow of not more than five feet. We had never paid much attention at him until one night while a nretty heavy sea was rolling, we were sitting around the stove in the captain's cahin swapping exaggerated tales of our adventures and suedes. The little fellow had not said a word but sat with a far away expression on his face. Finally he raised his hand to his face and rubbed his fingers across his eyes, then be began his story. This is what he told to that hardened audience. It was In Johannesburg that I first met her. She as the most beautiful woman that I had ever seen, and I have been around some in my day. I met her while waiting for the trolley which went to the mine. You wonder what I was going to the mine for? Of course I should have explained at first. I v as a purchaser of diamonds. As you all know, Johannesburg is the center of the largest diamond mining field in the world. To continue with my story, she got on the same trolley that I had boarded and naturally being the only two passengers, we struck up a conversation. She questioned me as to the locality of the mine and about my business. I was flattered by her attention and gave out more Information than I had intended. When we reached the mine, she thanked me for answering her many questions and disappeared. I never saw her again but when the mine was robbed not many days later, I saw my information as the base for such an impossible job. I have looked for her over all of Africa and most of the world. I learned hater that she as the leader of a. gang of the most expert diamond theives known In the world. Well, boys, tha.t ends my little story and all, I have to sa.y to you fellows is to never let a woman, no matter how beautiful, flatter you into felling everything you know.,r Upon finishing this story, the little fellow got Up and walked through the door without a word. We never saw hfm ngain until we docked in New York. Maybe we should not have been watching him and maybe we should have. One of the boys claims that he saw one of the most beautiful women that he had ever seen meet the little fellow and drive off in a large By- Girl of the Lonesome Pine3 Nellie S. Raiunville (Senior) Barney Hagan was in town and always the first place he went was to the store, mostly to talk old times with Charley Bolter. CharTey owned the grocery and department store and also the bar in the Lack. Charley and Barney had always been good friends. Barney lived on the Greenwall sheep ranch up in the Ozark hills about eighteen miles from Lonesome Pine. That evening Barney and Charley were sitting in the back part of the store playing po er and drinking wine. ,r.7al, Barney, I never am so happy as whin ye air in town, saif Charley. Meanwhile, a la”go Packard car was driving into the town of i� onesome Pine. The driver was an elderly man, well dressed and intelligent looking. He had been driving for three days, ever since he had received a letter in Chicago which brought him immediately to Lonesome Pine. It had been hard for him to manage to leave Chicago on'account of his firm, but may be he could do something about this ridiculous thing that had happened. -ie stopped at the first pl ce which was a filling station. Jl sleepy headed boy aroused himself and hurried up to the car. Ke eyed it with tremendous curiosity. It was the be -t looking c.r besides Harold Miller’s, the mining man's car, that he had ever seen and probably one of the few which had ever came to Lonesome line. Some people there owned old Fords and there were a few trucks. C5ay� boy, where's the nearest place I can get something to drink? he asked. ¥al, right up the street thar at Charley's,—the big brown building, said the boy, pointing his finger. .rine. Thank you, he said, handing the astonished boy a quarter as he drove off. Ke stopped at the store where Charley and Barney were in tr.e middle of their card game, drinking and talking. Y hen the man entered the store Charley arose from his seat to see who it lxe ; as surprised to see such a well dressed men in Lonesome Hello, stranger, greeted Charley, What can I do fer ya? ■ Heilo, replied the stranger, Could I get e drink--wine or whiskey? I’ve driven from Chicago to here--I'm practically worn out. v hy sure. Say have a glass of this here Blackberry wine, barney here and I have been drinking it, now it sure is good. ■'e haven't drunk so much out of this gallon, Charley. Thar's still over half of it left, he said. So you're from Chicago huh? Aller's thought I'd go thar some of these here days, continued Charley pouring the glasses to the brim with wine. What ye doin' up here in the Ozarks? asked Barney. I'm going up to see the Silver Q,ueen Mine. Thought I'd talk to the owner. How far is it from here? asked the stranger. Oh, it aint very far, but the road aint so good. It's about eighteen miles. Harold Miller and his wife come down after supplies and the mail ever' two er three days, answered Barney. Yes? Do you know Mr. Miller? asked the stranger. Do I, say he'r! a swell feller. You ought ter meet him. He come here from Chicago too. He started this eer mine--he's shore a smart feller, said Barney. And his wife, what about her? Is she from a.round here? asked the stranger. Oh, yes—nice girl is Avice. Never knew a purtier girl and one with so much sense. Course she aint got no education much but she's marter than a lot thet have gone to college. You know, I've lived around ..vice and the old lady Greenwall ever senco the old man, Charley Greonwrll, died. Thets been ever since vice war a little tike. She went to the eight grade to school here in Lone—some Pine. She and her mother would stay here durin' the school term and then they'd go back out ter the ranch in the summer. Thets been about four years ago--when she finished. She turned out to be arful purty and refined looking. Now all the time she's thar -t the ranch she wasn't idle a minute. She can shore sing--you should hear her, it would soften the heart of a murderer. She plays the piane too, and she's great hand to read a lot. She has shelves packed with books--Shakespeare's nd all those. She was always a sorta peculiar girl--didn't have much ter do with the neighbors--but whin a corwd of the boys and girls would come s' e'd sing nd nla.y for 'em, ma.ke candy and show the firls her clothes. She could always sew good and she a.llers looks so perfect in em. Lord, she is really • urty, dark reddish hrir, blue eyes and the purties white skin you ever savx. ,ri7al, war this young feller Killer comes in. About s ynr go he come up th r nd discovered some oar so he buys the land nd starts minin' th r. V al, the mines not two hundred yards from Mrs. Gre.enwa.ll' s so he asked her and .vice if they'd cook Icr his gang. ...vice was allers intertaing them that fellers, but they were shore 'nought regular guys, . nd they shore in-joyed hear in' her sing and play, ‘, a.i, this here owner, Miller, got to stayin' after the rest hr.d left at night : nd the'd play cards, sing or talk. Now he's shore 'nough a handsome feller --black curly hair and brown eyes a-nd tall and well build. Wal, I knowed by the way they was allers strollin' around with their arms locked that they war in love. But I thought thet maybe thet thar city feller might not make ..vice a good husband--being she didn't know nothin' a.bout 'im, related Barney. k Have some more wine? interrupted Charley, refilling the glasses. Wal, continue T Barney, about four months ago Avice dressed all up in blue and did she look purty. And this Harold Miller he dressed oil up in suit too. They come down here to the Parson and got married and then they went on to Little Rock and around for about two weeks. I’hen they came back to their ranch and they're goin' ter stay thar ’till Mr. Miller gets the mine goin' so as he c n leave it. •‘■’hen I think they're goin' down to Chicago. I heard them talkin' and Harold said they would by that time be ready to take . vice ba.ck to meet his family. Course he has to tell her how different they are and tell her how she should 'ct, t-lk and such as thet. But they shore m-ke a swell pair, them two and they are shore nought so much in love thet it's funny. Mrs. Greenwall will hate ter see 'em leave—guess she'll come here to Lonesome Pine to stay, Have some more wine, interrupted Charley, starting to fill the glasses. No, thank you, said the stranger, I must be starting back for Chicago. Chicago, Wal, I thought you war go in' out to the mines, exclaimed Barney. 'tfho a re you anyhow, stranger? sk..d Charley. Harold C. Miller 3r. I was going after rr.y son-----Harold. no wrote me that he was irrrriod. thought I could break it up as it was against our approval. But I didn't know how it was--and about the girl. ell, I'll be on my way. Please don’t mention th t I was around this country at all. When Harold is rCc-dy l s to meet his wife he'll bring her. I'm nxious to sue her. ohe must be nnd extraordinary and a wonderful girl. ihanx you f or the wine and (turning to Barney I enjoyed the 3;°ry “ bout them.

POPULAR FAVORITES There was recently conducted in our school a popularity contest. The results shrll be herewith published. (Hey, don't throw that brick.) For the Wittiest person in school, the staff, by stuffing the ballot boxes, contesting votes, and even by throwing some vot s awry, came into a huddle and declared that they had arrived at r conclusion. After the smoke had cleared away Bob .'.ker was elected to office. The c rov n of the Most Popular Girl bounced from one head to another until it c me to reat on the he d of no other than P e ree Cospor, a senior. Ho v onder, the Editor is a Senior ■nd he would see that no other Senior would got cheated out of his or her rights. J The most popular boy of the school was hard to pick. There were eighteen nominees but out above all shone the major- ■ ity of votes that Ed Day had to his name. Not only did Ed receive the most votes for the Most Popul r boy but also for being the Best Athlete. V e had to look o long time for the Most dignified person in school. So many students seemed to not understand fully the meaning of dignifi d--(Say, office boy, what does dignified mean?) (You don't know? Well, I'll be darned.) You might as well skip it. anyway out of 29 nominees Nellie Rainville and Shirley Ellsv orth tied for first so we'll have to split the honors. There must be a lot of bluffers in this school. There wore 21 nominees °nd Jack Kempton won by a nose, or sh°ll we 3r,y r bluff, the honor, title, dishonor, or what ha.ve you, of being considered the best bluffer in this school. There weren't many nominees for the most devoted couple. Bud and Mary Jane got the title. v-rc will say though that 1 rried couples should be eliminated, because a certain married counle who is graduating this year got a considerable numb_r of votes. Nov; cone the result of the vote on the Cutest Boy and Cutest Girl. You ouldn't believe it but there were 24 nominees f-'r cutest boy and 21 for cutest girl. After the fight the st-'ff just h d to give the honors to Chester Foster and Ruth Burtchor, respectively. Nov for the Best Student, there was no question at all. •i.lva 7 hite won by a landslide. Keep it up ..lva. Now for the Most Popular favorite of them all, Mr. Packer. There was no use voting.

For man was born a creature of the outdoors and his day extended only from dawn to dusk. This method of lighting continued for countless centuries, with improvements only in fuel and the use oi more practical and beautiful receptacles for the oil. Eventually came the candle, but it, too, possessed decided disadvantages. It was still smelly; the wind made 1, a fire hazard; it had to be burned upright; it as incon-in that it had to be carried from plrce to place and that it had to be lighted with another flame. As civilization advanced, lighting methods advanced slowly with it. The oil 1-mp brough greater convenience, but the fire hazard still remained an extreme drawback. And how often the smoky chimneys needed cleaning. Then came a-pS, with its brittle mantle, and in many homes this method of lifting is still to be found. It was not until Edison di light electrically within a made any marked progress in scovered how to produce bottle, that the world lighting. v tl jj. Think of each minute m:rk on the clock as at least ten thousand years. In the 1-st JJird - co hec, Come the entire advance in the «rt of lighting, aow ‘we can have a light which can be burned m any position It is convenient to use and is variable in size. Tho fire hazard is gone--and so is the smell. But .just because you have this great modi' ern convenience do not assume that [j you have adequate lighting. ihe GP chances are you haven't, for not more than one home in ten uses elec- trie light effectively for comfort, 1 convenience, safety and eye protection.
