Could he point out any phase of lit rary work in which the students had excelled. Oho solution to this question is a literary society. An organization of this kind sponsors literary activities such as debating, declaiming, and speaking contests in the high school. Certainly very little can be done as the school year is drawing to a close. So, at this time I would like to a.sk the students of the high schools to make plans this coming summer for a literary society next year so that something definite can be done at the opening of school in organizing the society. Alfred Myatt, ’26. PRESS ROOM PARAGRAPHICS By TED THOMPSON “It’s a cruel world,” said the pressman one day. “Pvc just fallen down the stair.s.” But after noting the number of bruises he had, I concluded that in stead of its being a cruel world it v/as a long stair-way. ' ♦ * * It was several months ago and we were in the pres.sroo.V;. Somebody put a record on and let it play for a mo ment, then changed it to another. “Wliy didn’t you let it play?” ask ed someone. “I diangcd my mind,” was the an swer. “You didn’t change your mind that’s impossible, you changed the record.- * * » The seniors were all sad-faced as I they walked back from the clas.s meeting Wednesday morning. Their heads were bowed and they looked as if they had lost their last friend “Where is the funeral,” some one asked. “Ain’t no funeral,” volunteered someone else, “we just took up twe minutes on the first period.” iH 9ie >)( The Kid said a guy insulted him the other day when the guy said hf looked like Bluebeard, King Tut, Ben Turpin and Bull Montana all in on Pd like to see the fellow who said that. * + * A bored senior said he went tc Thomasville several days ago to min gle with the “cakes” over there When he came back ho had icing all over his fingers. . * * * Miss Mendenhall said a star was a pentagram. Which reminds us that the pentagrams . were shining bright on the night of May 1. * * * It falls to the-lot of the pressroom force to manage another job along with the regular routine of work This job is editing the joke column By proxy.' the joke editor does it; in reality the pressroom force does the work. The jokes in the pa.st sev eral issues have been clipped. Why not send in all the original jokes you can, and help make our schoo' paper more interesting ? j HI-Y CLUB MEETS ■ The playing of the local girls’ team was indeed superior to that of the visitors. The high school’s double team was composed of Mesdames Freeze and Hutchison. Their oppo nents Sharp and Lenem were defeat ed to the tune of 6-2, 6-3. In the singles McEwen defeated Holt 6-2 6-3.
