SPENCERIAN 1923 Elin 09111211 Erahrr OWEN COUNTY'S LEADING NEWSPAPER Vol. 40 Wednesday May 9, 1933 No. 17 Owned, Edited and Published Weekly by Wampler Hutcheson BIG DAMAGE SUIT Frank Crowe, Mayor of Carp, was in town Monday. He is at present engaged in a suit for damages against the Spicer Construc- tion Company. It is alleged that this con- cern did not construct the two-hundred-mile water line from Carp's Brown County reser- voir according to specihcations and thus has caused the recent shortage of water in Carp. Considering the population there, we think Mayor Crowe's 251,000,000 damage suit is quite justifiable. THE EDITOR'S SAYINGS The recent Tobacco Prohibition Law' passed by Congress was written by Leona Edwards, member of Congress from this district. She is a native of Owen Countv and a graduate of S. H. S., of whom we should be proud. We wish to commend SheriH Richard Melick for his strict enforcement of this recent law. He was ably assisted by Deputy Ralph Moffett, a prominent member of the town board, who recently obtained the pass- age of an ordinance prohibiting chickens running loose unless branded. AS WE GO TO PRESS In connection with the lecture to be given May 14, by Professor Naomi Barnett, Doris Brown, world-famous bass, will render Pray for the Lights to Go Out, for the benefit of home folks. Miss Marguerite Al- verson, his accompanist, will play the popu- lar song, 'Tm Waitin' with a Rollin' Pin in My Hand. This will be a real treat for music lovers. SUNLIGHT GENERATOR Sunlight Generators, a generator of elec- trical current, was invented by Mr. Russell Boruff. It runs entirely on sunlight. It is rumored that Mr. Borulf will now marry Miss Dorothy Gray, famous political speaker, to whom he has been engaged sincc the last leap year. SPICER-CRISS Mr. Jearl Spicer, President of the Spicer Construction Company, and Miss Mar Eliz- abeth Criss, were married by Rev. Mr. John Molloy at the parsonage Monday afternoon. Paris Pedcn was arrested for speeding in his 1919 model Overland and was fined ten dollars and costs. VVe would like to know how he gets so much speed out of the old boat. Must feed it moonshine. COMMENCEMENT EXERCISES Last Friday evening saw the graduation of the largest class ever leaving S. H. S. Not only did it number 101 but it contained the oldest and youngest persons ever re- ceiving diplomas here. The youngest was David Frank Crowe, son of the Mayor of Carp.

The Moon The thing in which I most delight, Is looking at the moon so bright. I sit and gaze and wonder Why It simply wanders through the sky. It is so big, and bright, and round, A lovelier thing cannot be found, And sending forth its gleaming light, It makes the earth seem day by night. Just Why it hangs and does not fall, I really cannot tell at all, But yet it stays up in the blue, And shines so bright for me and you, Who is the man who stays up there, So high above the earth and air? Since he's the only one We see He surely must its pilot be. He keeps a calm and steady face, As he sails proudly on through space. Of all the folks I know below, I think no one interests me so.

S.H.S. SPENCERIAN 1923 THE NARROWVS A short distance north of Spencer, the truck of the I. K V. railroad makes a bend through one of the most picturesque valleys in Owen County. This cool, shady place, with its beautiful trees and splendid bits of SCl'I1L'1'Y mirrored in thu river, is the goal of many a summer afternoon stroll. MCCORMACIVS While McCormuck's Falls are not of any great size, they do possess remarkable beauty. The little creek threads its way through titanic walls of rock, makes its little plunge and wends its waxy through L'lJevil's Drive, HThe Palisades, 'AIlell's Hzilfac1'e, and on to the river. ...2 4.-
