James Dabney STUDENT BODY HEARS INSPIRING SPEAKERS On Friday, April 21, at the regular assembly period, Dr. Frazer, President of Queens-Cbieora College, outlined to the students of the high school the course of action for The Man Who Would Be King. He recalled God's promise, There shall not fail thee a man on the throne of Israel, and the, universal demands of Kingship, Be thou strong, and show thyself a man. Having defined his ideal as one who obeys the law, he warned his audience that side-stepping the law invariably makes one less able to obey. Life is a game, he declared. and one must obey the rules. Dr. Frazer concluded his address with the startling declara- tion that not favoritism but prepara- tion gives one a chance. There is a prepared place for every prepared person. ' - , at is 1: 1 On April 21, Dr. McSween. President j of Presbyterian College at Clinton,' gave a most inspiring lecture. choos- ing for his topic How to be Success- ful. He was emphatic in his state- ment that everybody can be successful if he is willing to pay the price, the highway being so well-marked, that you cannot miss it. Ambition, clearly defined, is to be our chart, and we dare not fold over the map and thus obscure the objective. Dr. McSween urged upon his audience the strin- gency of the times as a challenge, de- claring that self-discipline is to be the best teacher of all. In his words, Make yourself do the things you don't want to do, and know you ought to do. Only the self-disciplined person can become a leader. He who would lead must first him- self be led, Who would be loved be capable of love beyond the utmost he re- ceivesg Who wield the rod of power must first have bowed his head. And being honored, honor what is above, This know the men who leave the world their names. The block of granite which was an obstacle in the pathway of the weak becomes a stepping stone in the path- way of the strong.-Carlyle. VVhat men want is not talent, it is purpose: not the power to achieve, but the will to labor.-Bulwer Lytton. A certain amount of opposition is a great help to a man, kites rise against and not with the wind. One can easily stop when he as- cends, but not when he descends- Napoleon I. f RILEY DRUG CO.

'I' H E F I. O lt E N 'I' I N E 13 JUNIORS PRESENT COMEDY On April 12. before a large and ap- preciative audience, the Junior Class presented a delightful comedy. entitled Here Comes Patricia. They had piomised the public a show full of hearty laughs and hit parts, and the response from the audience indicated that no one was disappointed. Sarah Lynch, in the role of Patri- cia, the feminine lead, displayed real talent in portraying a beautiful and daring young girl-quite at home in her over-alls, running a filling station, and equally so as the sophisticated daughter of the governor. Jane Chand- ler and Peggy Aiken-as Angelira and Minnie Knoop, respectively-kept the audience convulsed at their continual bickering over .Bud Flannigan tCecil Jeffordsl. Although Bud found it dif- ficult to propose to Angelina, because of Minnie's continual interference, he firally succeeded, much to everyone's delight. Every remark of Tom Wil- liamson's was greeted with shouts of laughter. As the small town loafer, Tim Hopper, he was incomparable. livervone agreed that Edwin Zeigler handled with marked success the rather difficult role of Elbert Hast- ings. Others in the east were .Iimmy Clark, a handsome young man in love with Patricia tBilly Bergcrlg Elsie Crowder, a sweet and pretty young girl tMary B. Heapeiz Mrs. Smith- Porter, of the town aristocracy tDor- othy Allcnl: and Mrs. Carroll, a mothcrly widow tAllie Stricklinb. --A SUIT- Made to Your Measure -and Guaranteed to Fit AS Low AS 319.50 Each D2lj't WHS WON im.0l'l3l'Cf9d, 121111 I to like the role of librarian's assistant the Juniors feel that in presert1ngl-NQll Jw-kson 119313 and Louisi- their first public high school perform- ance, they have scored a real sue-, cess. ,Miss Brooks, as faculty advisor and director, is to be commended for i l her part in an evening of stellar en-I tertainment.

AYELLOW JACKET NINE TROUNCES RIVALS Coach Rhame's call for baseball candidates was answered by many players who saw action last year on the first string, and many others en- tirely new in high school baseball. Kirby Jordan, LeGrande t Red I Schuyler, Asa Sturkie and Raymond Hyer were the only letter men to re- port this year. The American Legion Juniors of 1932 furnished E. D. Lane. Charles Gilbert, John Bailey, Paul Brendel and Joe Commander. Others who look good on the diamond are Clarence Farmer, Billy Moore, .Iolm- nie Holland, William Hickey, Ernest Bowie, Fred Paul Gramling, William Blackwell, Ben Rollins, Charles Me- Lendon. Henry Potter. and Hugo Cox. The first game-with Darlington, on Hicks' Field-was to the sweet tune ot' 9-4 in favor of Florence. From then on, the season was in full swing. the Jackets emerging winners from five consecutive contests. .These vic- tories included the ancient rivals from Lake City and Sumter. The batting average has been stead- ily rising, with three nome runs in five games, two by .lordan and one by Sturkie.
