It was comical to see several girls with their heads wet. after a spasm noon hour, especially one which did not get her curls fin- ished. Nevertheless the reading of the Operetta could not be missed. That will go for you too. for when the Glee Club, with the help of the Mother's Club pre- sents the Operetta—It Is going to be a wow! And you are going to miss something If you miss It— So If you have to leave your curls un-flnlshed you will be for- given. After all the singers expect to be the center of attraction. If you think the girls are not learning to sing. Just turn the radio dial one day soon .and hear them from Amarillo or Lubbock. In other words they are planning to do things this year. A new sponsor will be elected at their next meeting the 20th of October. Miss Bernice Westbrook. the Demonstration Agent, gave re- port cards to all old members to fill out.

Pour In ster- llied Jars and seal. Home Visiting Started Mrs. Daughtrey has started her home visiting. She has visited In the homes of Mary Lou Hinson. Julia Smith, Ozella and Juanita Foster. Wanda White, Lucille Johnston. Willie Mae Reeves. Margaret Cranfil! and Babe Kel- ley. The object of these home vis- its Is to become better acquainted with the parents, discuss the work being done by their daughters and discuss the different projects the girls could carry out through the year. Between The Book Ends Found! A book In the library: How to Live on Twenty-four Hours a Day. The author. Arn- old Bennett, cleverly points out that everyone has the same a- mount of time each day—twenty- four hours. He strikes most of us when he says that people are painfully existing each day and feel that when they have more time. they will do the things that will cause them to live. There is no more time to be had. Peo- ple have all the time there is each day—thats the limit. Outside of a person's working hours, how does he spend his time? True, he sleeps, eats, converses with his friends and attends recreational programs. But even that does not take all of the remaining hours. Bennett figures that a minimum of seven hours and a half a week are to- tally wasted that could be used to such an advantage as to dis- tinguish between living fully and comfortably and merely existing or muddling through life. Whatever one Is Interested In. one can spend seven hours on with great satis- faction. The book does not set up cer- tain rules, but It suggests and ex- plains a formula which one might pattern one's life by. It Is easy and Interesting reading. The Petersburg Buffaloes gave Spring Lake their first defeat of the season. The scores were 13 to 0 In favor of Petersburg. The Buffaloes scored late In first quarter when they intercepted one of the Wolverines forward passes to sprint 18 yards to touchdown. The try for the extra point was unsuccessful . Petersburg scored again early in the third quarter. The Buffaloes left halfback in- tercepted a forward pass and ran 20 yards to a touchdown. The Buffaloes plunged the line to make their extra point. Spring Lake gained 138 yards from scrimmage while Petersburg gained 91 yards. Petersburg made 6 first downs and Spring Lake made 9. At the end of the first half Spring Lake had Petersburg backed on their own goal line. Petersburg passed seven times and two of their passed were In- tercepted with one complete. Spring Lake threw nine passes completing three and having three Intercepted.

CONDUCT IN STUDV HALL Due to a lot of noise going on in tho achool building—caused by the hammering and sawing of the workmen. It la undoubtedly hard for the students to get their minds concentrated on their stu- dies In the study hall. They can't seem to think coherently, or get their minds on what they are try- dts-lnterested, and the frlst thing Ing to do; therefore they become Ing with the other students near we notice Is that they are vlslt- thcm. This not only disturbs the Ing with the other students near them. This not only disturbs the students who are trying to study, but It also causes the teacher con- siderable trouble. So students, let's have a little respect for our study-hall teach er and our fellowmen, and If we can't spend our time studying, we can at least be quiet, for there may be some who wish to study. We may all wish that we had taken advantage of the study-halls too. when our six-weeks teats and mid-term exams come rolling long. SUCK FLOOR Tho other day Just before his- tory clams, which Is held In Room 18, Margarett Cranflll had some Important business at Mr. Bodecker's desk, and upon hearing some one down In the hall, she made a wild rush for her seat. Evidently the floor was very slick. Her foot slipp- ed. She fell and went sliding down the Isle. Knee skates might prove helpful In such a situation! Margie Lee White, who has a back desk which does not have the scat connection, was attempting to get a book from her desk. She grabbed tho top of the desk. Her feet slipped out from under her and natur- ally she sat down on the floor. She didn't waste any time or energy In getting from her feet to the floor, either. Maybe the floor In Room 16 la slppery!

ROSE PETALS Before the game Friday Mr. Edelmon said If our boys didn't win by three touchdowns that he would be disappointed. I guess he was disappointed, but maybe he would not have been If those pep squad girls had been there to yell. Everyone should know by now that the more boosters there are. the better and easier anything Is carried on. Those boys need all the help they can get from every, body. This was recently heard on the school bus: Margie Lee—Knock; knock? Douglas—Who's there? Margie Lee—Lemlck. Douglas— Lemlck who? Margie Lee—Lemlck me call you sweetheart. If You attempt to do anything, do your best. two hundred years. The building has been equipped with treated, weathfer stripped windows to keep out as much dust as is possible.

From morning to night and sometimes when we sleep we talk. The volcea of our loved ones are dear to ua and we treasure them. If they are forev- er ceaaed It la aad. There are the common, homey words with which we talk with over loved onea; the inspiring words we throw to our despond- ent friend; the words young lov- ers find; and the words we call hymns and psalms. With such high uses of words, wa should never use them to hurt people. Nevertheless, that Is a dally tragedy. Many souls arc seared each day by vile words. Let your words fall as gentle as the dew on the grssa whose presence we do not notice until we see the diamonds glittering. Practice sets have been received by the bookkeeping class. This Is the first of three sets which are to be worked up during the first semester. This set contains accounts for a filling station. The other two will be accounts for grocery store and a farm home. These books were ordered by Mr. Nix. tho bookkeeping Instructor Read the Wolverine each week.

These students showed very good sportsmanship. Some few who did not come dressed as they should have been were fix- ed up by students. Those who did the things they were asked to do were excellent sports, but there were a few who became angry when they were asked to do things. Students who became ang- ry because of little things, are poor sports and are disliked by their classmates.
