Patrick Faculty Adviser THE CARE OF LIBRARY BOOKS BOYS’ CAGE SEASON OPENS MONDAY, DECEMBER 8, 1924 EDITORIAL VICTORY IN DEFEAT In Icsing the fcotb»)l ram ! to Spencer, High Point high school was eliminated I'.om 'he cnampionship series. Technically, the tcame was lost to Spencer, but in the greatest way, High Point won the game, be cause of her fair play and clean sportsmanship she wen the game in spirit. It is no disgrace to bs out played and out-scored by an oppos ing team, but it is a disgrace to be out-played and out-scored, and then try to excuse your.self and lay blame on the winner. Of course the team and the school were both disappointed at the way the score oiled up, but no grumbling or discontent has shown itself at any time. This spirit of supporting the team even though it lost is what has made us feel like we won the championship game, ' even if not in a material way. Thus H. P. H. S. is victorious even in defeat. Let us be thankful that it is so. Student.s seldom realize how much they inconvenience themselves as well as others, when they handle the library books carelessly. After the books have been treated carelessly they must be put away for repairs. At the present time there are so many damaged books awaiting repair that the librarian cannot repair them fast enough to get them back on the shelves without causing herself and the students ^ considerable delay. Because of this delay, which the li brarian cannot prevent, students are prevented from reading the books as they would like, and a fewer num ber of students can take advantage of library service. In thi.s way, the carelessness of a few, inconveniences many. By exercising a little care and us ing a little caution in handling^ the library books the students can them selves prevent this unseemly delay, and in this way will assist_the whole student body as well as themselves. THE TRUE SPIRIT In all the hum and excitement f Thanksgiving joys, a hearty dinner of many courses and jolly merriment, one is apt to forget the true spirit of Thanksgiving. Thank.sgiving should be mole or less a solemn occasion. It is all right to be happy and joy ous at such a time. You should be be happy. But amid your happiness you should be truly thankful for all your blessings, and although at times you may not think so. you have many things to be thankful for. One must not forget that “To give is better than to receive.” On Thanks giving this should especially be no ticed. Be kind to those who are not as fortunate as you. The giving need not consist of material things. Some times other thngs are far more pre cious. Be lavish with smiles, and kind and encouraging words. Help ethers get the (rue Thanksg'ving fccrit and make it a day of peace and joy. RAY STREET SCHOOL “THE RAY” The seventh grades of the Ray Street school have as their project for the year, the editing of a news- sheet. 'ihe Enterprise people, have been so kind as to allow us to pub lish. this news-sheet along with the Enterprise. After a discusson, we dec’ded to name our paper “The Ray.” We do net wish it to be confined entirely to seventh grade work, but let each grrdc'ha'ye a turn at writ-1 ing news items, so that all Ray Street boys and girls can feel it is 1 their own paper. If you have seen i our first issue, you will know what we are doing. We want the paper to contain local school news and the like. 1 But can it be a success if you ‘ do not do your part? No, it will not be. You must cooperate with our ■(forts to make it a success. Every “st'if” member is diligently working toward a good aim. Will your aim with us be a sroed one? We hope so, and we will try to give just that v/hich pleases you through our little news-sheet. Watch the papers! —Anna Gertrude Douglas. Tossing football aside, approxi mately 60 candidates reported at Ray street auditorium Thursday night at 7:30 for the first basket ball prac- ':i^e cf the year. Coach Boylin made a short talk in which he asked for the coopera tion of all in taking care of the building and gave tnem the under standing that there •tould be no horse play. A light practice in the first funda mentals of the game followed the talk. In a few nights the boys who show no form will be issued a pen- ship and in side of a week’s time practice will be going on in full swing. It is expected that the basket ball team now developing will be the strongest quintet that has ever rep resented the local high school on a basket ball court. This should cause many schools to look to their chances for the state championship. “You have a sister, I believe.” “Yes, .she married a comet player named Burst.” “Any children?” “Three children, Edna May Burst, Dick Wood Burst, George Will Burst.” —Exchange. WANTED: On the stage in the auditorium an extra piano for boys to hind behind.

Thursday—Constitution and Thrift —M'.=s Garter’s seventh grade. Friday—Health Day—Miss Pea- ’ cock’s sixth grade. | A’bor Day was obse^ed by the pPnting of a grass plot between the sijiewalk and the curb, and (he plant-1 mg of violets around thy school build- ing. (Continued from Page 1.) Thanksgiving dinner for the poor. In the meantime the butler ai:J Cousin Sallie’s maid are getting along nicely. They have discovered one another’s presence and she finds him nicer than the iceman back home, while he tells her of his abil ity to use the right kind of words in the right place. Cousm Sallie agrees to marry Grandfather Cole, and utler Bimp and Sallie’s maid are not far from agreeing. All ends well a Thanksgiving feast and greetings. The last characters are as follows: Grandfather Cole—Gilbert Ragan. His grandchildren: Fred, Bill Ed wards, Ada, Thalia Coepland. The housekeeer—Mrs. Hale, Iris Wm-d. The butler, Bimp—Clyde Allred. Parmer Dix—Garland McPherson. I'tr. Amp''—Frank Wall. Cousin Sallie Evans—Helen Klem- me. Her maid—Annie Raper. This plry was one of the best pre- ppntpd this vear, and . much credit should be given to the nupils who took part in it and to M'ss Harrell who directed the production. Persns run ver by automobile bal loon tires may escape serious injimv, .says a motor magazine. Still, the principle of the thing will never make the practice papular. Waiter: Tea or coffee, sir? .1 ui.k: How many guethesh d’ I get? —Exchange. “Do you know what becomes boys who .smoke cigarettes?” asked the kind old lady. “Sure!” replied the boy. “Ain’t you never seen any of them big cig arette advertisements?” —Exchanrre.
