EDITORIAL BASKETBALL FOR GIRLS Clota Belle Sanders Girls, basketball has not bcon carried out extensively in Spring Lake High School, due to the condition of our Open Air Gym- nasium. The question arises In our minds, should girls be allowed to play? It Is said that basketball Is too strenuous for girls, but It la our opinion that they need the ex- ercise which they do not get sit- ting on the cottage steps or In Room 15. If it Is handled correct- ly. It will not barm a girl physic- ally and It will certainly Instil In their minds the spirit of compe- tition and good sportsmanship. We admire the person who has the over for their school enough to fight for Its honor and fame. This year will be the first year for us to play. The challenge comes to us as high school girls to work and practice hard, as there are few experienced players in high school. With proper coaching and co-operation on the part of the players, there is no reason why Spring Lake should not make a good showing In the county this year. So let’s get in there and Fight! Fight! Fight! and we feel certain that you will never re- gret your effort. News Flash! Special Feature. Thursday evening. September 17, 1936 at 3:59 and 25 seconds P. M. Carl Hagen. Honorable Senior, de- cided to feel at ease. Leaning back comfortably In his chair, he was thinking whom he would get In case his present girl should quit him. Suddenly he thought of one and as his brain reflected on his muscles, they jerked, thereby caus ing his chair to swap ends. This was followed by an uproar of the students and the laugh was on Carl. FACULTY MEMBERS ENTERTAINED Classes Organize SENIOR CLASS ORGANIZES The members of the Spring Lake faculty were entertained Thursday evening, September 17, by Superintendent and Mrs. Edel- mon.

L STUDENTS TAKE SUMMER VACATIONS ROSE PETALS We’re sure proud of our foot- ball boys and pep squad girls for their work Friday night. You're doing mighty good. Keep It up. You should have seen Carl Hag- en the other day. We don’t know about his falling head over heels In love, but he surely fell head over heels on the floor. Last week pictures of the dif- ferent grades were taken. Bernice Hyde asked why the ex-graduates were not taken. Of course this put Edna to thinking because Bernice and Foy are the only ex-graduates going to school. We see that the girls are behind the football .coach and team with their well developed lungs. Stay right In there girls and N. R. A. (do your part). Many of the Spring Lake stud- ents took interesting trips during the summer vacation: Edna Pack- ard went to Dallas and Hereford; Ethel Hite spent three weeks In Glenmora. Louisans; Beatrloe Falkner spent four weeks in Cue- ruo, New Mexico and Tohoka; Toby Shelby went to Erick.

JOKES Mrs. Foster: Ozells, everytime you’re naughty I get another grey hair. Ozells. “Oh mother! What a ter- ror you must have been when you were small. Just look at grand- ma. A small boy found nothing he liked In the candy counter for a penny. Disgusted Margaret Lee finally asked. Do you want the world with a fence around It for a penny?” ‘T don't know,' he answered. ’’Let me see 1L Billy: Say, Weldon, do you want to see something swell?

Construction of a light colored, faced tile gymnasium-auditorium building la being ruahed to com- pletion for the Spring Lake School and community so that it may be ready for the coming baaketball season. The walls of the building are more than halt finished In spite of delays caused by weather and lack of materials. The new building will provide a playing court 72 ft. by 40 ft. of maple or beech flooring. Selec- tion of the floor has not been made but will be made in the near future from samples receiv- ed by the superintendent. Tho building will provide seat- ing room for more than five hun- dred persons at a baaketball game and approximately one thousand during dramatlo production on the stage. The walls of the building will stand twenty feet high, glvinr ample head room for basketball play. It will be covered with a curved roof supported by four steel truses that rest upon col- umns of tile and reinforced con- crete. It will meet one of our most felt needs , was the comment made by Mr. Edelmon, superin- tendent of the school when asked about the building. The Wolverines are looking with anxious eyea to the time when they enter their new home. Willie Boedckor, principal of the high school and former cap- tain of the W. T. S. T. C. Buf- faloes basketball team will have charge of the Wolverines during their first season In the gymn- asium. TEACHERS CARRY OUT A NEW SYSTEM IN CHECKING ROLL 4-11 CLUB GIRLS HOLD MEETING SEPTEMBER 15 The 4-H club met September 15. In a regular meeting. Miss West- brook attended the meeting. The goals for bedroom and' garden were checked. Each member has started a wild flower acrap book. This project was discussed at the meeting. The teachers will carry out a new system In checking the roll this year. A record of absentees is kept in the office. Each teach- er checks hla or her roll at the beginning of each class period and within five minutes after the bell the list of absentees Is sent to the office and checked or re- corded. This is done in order to keep a closer check on the stu- dents and see that they are at- tending every class. If a student (a present in one class and then absent In another, the faculty will know he la cutting class for some reason. While applying for a Job Mary Jane was asked If she was mar- ried. “No Mam.” she replied, but I'm In the market.

All the girls have been faith- fully practicing and a majority of them attended the game Fri- day night where they made a good showing.

Grass Is being set out In the front of the school build- ings larger walks are being made, more rooms are being made In the main building and the gym Is being completed. These things are being con- structed for our pleasure and con- venience. and one must remember to appreciate them for what they are. For the first part of the year we must stand by and watch things progress and then the last part of the year we may enjoy using the new Improvements. The co-operation of the many school children In theae undertak- ings will help to make a much better school, school ground, and a much more beautiful place to attend school. We must appreciate these new Improvements enough io co-oper- ate and our rewards will be the things that we have hoped for, for so long. AGRICULTURE CLASS PREPARES EXHIBIT During this week Mr. Nix. the agriculture teacher, has had the Agriculture I Class to sow wheat and plant Sudan grass in small plots which are to be exhibited in connection with a Pig Production Exhibit at the Lubbock Fair.

The second touchdown for Spring Lake came early In the Hite again carried the ball for ten yards around end. Friona attempted four forward passes. three of which were incomplete and one Intercepted. Spring Lake’s two pass attempts were incomplete. The starting line-up were: The summer vacation Is now ov- er and let us. fellow students, settle down for a little school work. Begin to work now; don't wait until time for an exam. Let a littlo knowledge settle In your head at all times. If you cram your studies, your subjects will probably mix and if they ever settle, they will be as crossed as the hair on your head. Beside . It Is hard to do 30 days of work In two or three. If It Is at all possible, be at school with a sunny smile each day. If you miss school and get behind In your work, you will get discouraged. If you are not Intere- estod In school, you will get very little out of it. Try to enjoy your classes, and you will! Th teach- ers can't make the school Inter- esting by themselves. You will reap according to what you sow. Don't put anything off that you can do today. Let us make a new school year resolution to study each school day and keep up with our work.
