Is it I sufficient to say, I am an Amer- ican, my father was an Amer- ican before me? No Are you a good citizen? Are you always a servant of thc laws and ideals I cf your country? Are you always 1'eady to render any service to show loyalty and pay homage to that country? Two young patriots in Tulia school last Friday became heroes in the sense of patriot- I ism, while a large group of the student body looked on. The! wind began blowing, raindrops began to fall, faster and faster. When others thought only of I runnirg to shelter, Barney Jo Mangum and Harold Garrett, lo- cal Boy Scouts, thought of the I flag. When the stars and stripes 4 flying at full mast high above' the school campus, was sudden- 1 ly flung from the pole as the' rf-pw broke, the two boys rush- cd out in the drenching rain in time to prevent Old Glory from fa ling to the ground, helping to kerp the Stars and Stripes ever above earthly dust and grime, l high up to America's ideals. I The height of ambition: Ruth Mayo trying to absorb American history by divine inspiration. O l O Just a tip to the Hornets Did any of you happen to read Round- up Rattlings in the Round-Up of Sept. 5? It stated Revenge is Sweet, Cowboys, so go right on and beat those Hornets. Hornets, here's your challenge, can you take it? Well, we're behind you 10005, win or lose, and When the one great sccrer comes to write agairst your name, he writes not that you lost or won but how you played the game. 1 0 I And was Bobbie Jean Pavne's face red when she received a birthday present To the very sweetest little girl I know and this was written by none other than the distinguished president of the Junior class twritten for Miss Miller, in case you misunderstand.l Q 0 8 Poor Pollv. and it was a fur- piece to walk Friday nightg with a few more little excursions like that she'll be saying Walking My Baby Back Home and then mak- ing remarks such as I ran into a tree as a'ibis for skinned nose. U l K Wanted-Information by Billie Evans. Here's the Puzzle: WhatI is a cream puff, yeah the kind Kress To Be Host To League CONWAY HEADS LEAGUE E... ln the first County Teacher's As- sociation meeting of the year, Su- perintendent Younger was re-elect ed to head the organization for the 1935-36 session.

I I l Still speaking of ambition tnow I'm not gossipingl but, when every- body's friend, Reba, was a Fish. she courted a senior. Yeah: And her greatest ambition was to have a fish court her in her senior year. Bless his little heart-her ambi- tiors have all been realized, and more, for in addition to being a Fish, he has the distinction of be- ing twice five, plus four years of age. Ik ll Il It is being passed around Tulia that 1-3 of T. H. S's students are making flunking grades. Are we proud of that fact? Well, try just a little harder. if you're in the low 1-3 and Tulia High will come lots nearer to holding her rresent stand- ing in the State Association. Any way, it's a grand and glorious feel- ing to say I make A on every- thing. I don't know from exper- ience, 'coz you know Im dumb with a car-ital D, even when it comes to Public Speaking, I'm a-Yeah, a perfect llc:p.

He and two friends were riding horses when he was thrown and kicked by the horse he was riding. George is in the sixth grade and today is the first day of school he has missed during the six years in school. .,i...0 -1 Ten Nights In A Bar Room The creative imaginations of cer- tain Pep Squad girls and their abil- ity and knowledge concerning court procedure presented a burlesque performance before assembly Fri- day morning, when the Hornets were tried and found guilty by a jury of twelve Pep Squad members, of first degree murder. Charges were filed by Attorney Edith Stallirgs, lawyer for the Plainview Bulldogs, who declared that those Tulia Hornets cruelly destroyed. demolished, and in fact, deliberately murdered the Bulldogs in a recent encounter on the foot ball field. There was much com- motion in the court, and Judge Betty Curry had to demand the attention of the jurors more than once as different witnesses were called to the stand. After a long session of questioning and cross examination of witnesses, Stallings presented as Exhibit A in the case the score board of the game, show- ing the score to be 51-0, in fa- vor of Tulia. The jury returned a verdict of guilty, but due to the pleas of Frances Wilkins, defend- ing attorney, the Hornets were not convicted. This exhibition by the Pep Squad probably inspired and encouragedl the Hornets, as it was intended to do. A strange coincidence is the l'act that the score was 51-0. Re- versed on the board. Anyway that's the spirit! Hornets To Invacle F loydada Friday After a terrible beating last Fri- day night by the Plainview Bull- dogs, the Tulla Hornets, a wiser and stronger team, will invade Floydada tomorrow to tangle with the strong Whirlwind squad in another game. The Hornets are out to avenge the beatings thev took from Floydada last year. The Whirlwinds are boasting a good squad this year and from the looks of the score they marln against Plainview compared to the one the Hornets made, they should have a better team. To make up for this fact the Hornets will have a. fighting spirit and the will to win. Floydada has a slightly heav- ier line and faster backfield than the Hornets, but the Hornets will be out to avenge the last week's score. After this game the Hornets will return home and play the Phillips squad from Borger next week. Af- ter the Phillips squad comes the first conference game with the strong Canyon Eagles. Both of these games will be at Reid Field. . i01.....i.. Hornets Lose To Plainview Dazzled by the display of speed and power, the Hornets went down in defeat 51-0 before the on- slaught of the highly touted Bull- dog eleven of Plainview last Fri- day night in their first appearance under the flood lights. - The Hornets' lone threat came in the third period when Clower received a punt on his goal line and raced to Plainview's 24 yard line when he was brought down by the safety man, Mason who made the tackle while falling from n block made by Butler. The Bulldogs presented a much more aggressive eleven than that sent against Floydada the week before. .,..,?0.., -.....-.- Hornet Football Schedule Oct. 4-Floydada there. Oct, ll-Open.
