Page one lzzuzclrctl Our Notebooks What is it that we all abhor? What is it that we want no more? It is most dreaded of the tasks That our most honored teacher asks. What could it be but a notebook? We have a problem for each day, But most of us would rather play. We let it slide till most too late. Then we must write at terrific rate And in one night must do that book. And when at last we get to work To do that task which we have shirked, We find that all the books are gone Leaving naught to work upon. Oh! curses on that evil book. But wait! the tempter comes in sight With both his hea1't and conscience light- His notebook is all done on time. Says he, t'My friend just copy mine. A ray of hope for that cursed book. We may not get that esteemed A : A B plus may not be our pay: But if our book rides safely by The teacher's carefully searching eye, May blessings rest upon that book. Ray Nicholson 997

School Spirit Spirit is a sublime and illustrious thing. it a 2'WH'lDl9l6 part of man's character, such as cannot be estimated in gold and siixer, nor can it be boughtg for it is not within our power to set a value on so priceless a gem and literally exchange it for profit. True spirit may be found in the halls, in the class room, at assemblies, down town, and, of course. at the games where it is perhaps most con- spiculously demonstrated. In short. you may find Greenville High School spirit wherever her loyal students gather. We might ask, What good really comes of spirit in later life? Is it all in vain ? If spirit, a thing you will obtain if you go to high school . is only on the surface, then the answer should be in the affirmative. But the spirit of our football and basketball players, and of our truly loyal Greenville rooters, is more than a pretense. It is deep-rooted, and its value cannot be reckoned in terms of money, though it is often under-estimated by others. Since we lack experience. we can but make theories in later life: however, it seems only right and logical that the as to its use ideals set up in our youth will, to a great extent, be those followed as we grow older. Then the Value of practicing determination, courage, respect, and sports- manship in our younger days is readily realized when it is our turn to play our part in this game of life.

A l:1'eshman,s ldea of Football Anne, who lived in the country. was set on getting an education. After her graduation from the eighth grade, she had no rest until her folks consented to her going to the High School, at Greenville. But it's ten miles off, argued her father. Well, couldn't I stay in town with Aunt Jane ? Wall, I reckon as how you maybe could, he finally answered, and thus granted his consent. So the second Monday in September found her in town and entering the large school building for the first time, nervous and excited as all Freshmen are. Days passed, and Anne was beginning to learn most of the funny ways of the school. At least, she didn't jump anymore when the electric bells rang so suddenly, and was able to walk more comfortably in the crowded halls without being scared to death that she would get lost or be tramped on. About two weeks later, Anne noticed a general excitement in the school, and she heard everyone talking Football . Upon inquiring, she found that football was a game that some of the boys played on a big field. She learned that there was to be a big game the next day. Anne had never seen a game of football so she decided to go with some of the other Fresh- man girls. After the game, she said she was going right down to Aunt Jane's and write a letter home to Ma and Pa. This is what she wrote: Dear Ma 81 Pa: I reckon you'll be a wonderin just what is a happenin down here. Well thers a plenty. One of the girls was a watchin me rite the other day and she says as how I should make my i's capitol and not dot them. So I sez I'm never to old to learn and I perseeds to make em capitol. Ma you'd oughter see the game we play down hear called football. My goodness but it is rough. The hole thing starts wen the band marches out. They is a fella that marches first, and he shur looks funny. He has a big cain wot he carrys for show cause their aint no one that cud use a cain and walk like he duz. Aunt Jane said he was the dum majer er somphin like that, and he shur looks swell, but l gotter laff wen he walks like he duz. And the team is all bulgy in places and show wot looks like an old korest onley they Ware it different. There is I think about 26 of em but onley 11 goes out at once. They always try to get hurt then someone else kin play. Some game huh? Well after the band plays the game starts and they is a ball that aint round, in the middle of a big field with posts at both ends and white lines in between. They all try to kick the ball at each other but cause there is onley one ball and a hole bunch of players they jist kick and Wressel with each other as best they kin. Wen they gets neer to each other they allus pick a fite. It seems as how they are all in a meen temper and hate everyone. A man in a white pare of funy pants-he has a tin horn-makes em quit fitin once in a while and line up on each side of the ball. Then one fellcr grabs it and throws it away and they all begin to fite Page one lz1n1d1'c'd mic
