L. lVl., A. H. Paper litters the floor. Panes are broken and cracked. The gray-haired instructor is standing in the extreme end of the room with a hickory stick in his hand and a look of scorn on his coun- tendance. The pupils are sitting painfully uqiet, but rigid, in their desk when all of a sudden, bedlam lets loose. Mr. T.: Charles, why did you let Out that yell, that would, if continued, wake the dead? Charles: He---he fpoints at Joseph, put a tack in my chair. Joseph: Now, l didn't. l ain't seen a track since this morning.

The interest in debating has increased steadily from year to year, so that now it is hardly possible for a student to pass through school without being called upon at some time or other to debate the question. ln act, there are every Monday at least eight high school debaters speaking before their respective literary societies. Then, on Tuesday afternoons there are the college debaters busy in their society. So it is that the societies keep alive the interest in debating, and through the constant development which they offer, aid in producing efficient debaters. Thrice in recent years the state championship honors have come to us-once in the high school contest and twice in the junior college meet. This year we greatly rejoice over the work and success of the debating clubs both in high school and college. Several students made a most worthy showing in the preliminary held to decide who would represent the S. C. in the state meet. The winning team, Elois Tolar and Anice Doak, won first honors and thus repeated the victory of last year's team. In the high school preliminary just held ,Ieanelle Wasson and Berry Brown were selected to represent the high school in the Delta meet. Here's to them. May they win their way on the state meet and to victory.

If you spent as much time on your studies as you do on mere foolishness, you'd do lots better. fTakes picture and looks at it, Joseph also looks,. Joseph: fAside to Jessie , That sure does look like Mr. Thompson, only his nose is longer, and his eyes are crosser and his teeth stick out more and he hasn't got that much hair. Mr. T.: joseph, that will do for you. For your disrespect you shall also stay after school. fStares at Addie, Addie, you should come to school dressed. Put your drug store complexion outfit up now or bring it to me. Mercer is busy and isn't noticing you, so your eforts were in vain. , Mercer: I saw her, but she can't interest me. l'm looking for somebody else. Mr. T.: You are rather fran-lc in your statements, but a man possessed with your looks can well afford to be. Joseph: He aint as good looking as Charles is. Mr. T.: Joseph, will I have to send for a switch? I can easily do so and one more remark from your corner and I'll send after one. Joseph: My corner? I haven't got a corner and besides corners can't remark. Mr. T.: fDespairingly, Well, have it your way. Lula spills water on Louise. Louise slaps her., . QB. D. returns with water. Louise, Ruth and Lula rush to get a drink. ln the rush Mr. T.: Louise, did my eyes deceive me? just because you are large is no reason why you should take advantage of poor little Lula. Joseph: But Lula spilled water on Louise. Didn't she Esther? Mr. T.: Nlr. Lawyer, who asked you to defend Louise. l feel quite sure that Louise is capable of defending herself. Louise: She did spill water on my new, red calico dress and now if it fades Ma will whip me. Lula: l assure you that it wasn't my fault. You donlt know the half of it. Ruth pushed me against Louise. Can't you see that it wasn't my fault, Mr. Thompson? Mr. T.: Under the circumstances let the agreement drop. Louise, I don't think your dress will fade. Let it dry at least before fighting. fLooks at rest of students. Sees l-lortense give Ray a note, Hortense, just what are you doing? I'm sure it is your game and not Ray's. Esther and Joseph: fln unison, She wrote Ray a love-note cause I saw her. Mr. T.: Hortense, is this true? l'm sure that Ray would n-ot read it if he knew what it was. Would you Ray? Ray: fLoolcs at Mr. T. and then glances shyly at Hortense and again at Mr, T., Sir, I guess she wanted to know the arithmetic lesson. She has never written me before. Esther: lt's a love note. l set right behind her and I saw it. Mr. T.: Bring the note to me, Ray. Don't think that I blame you. I know that Hortense, our faithful flirt, is at the bottom of all this silliness. flirnestine giggles, Hush gig- gling Emestine. I see or hear nothing so funny. CTD Annie, Come to the front of the room, Annie, and say your speech. joseph, you keep your usual post in the corner. Annie: I forgot it.
