Spelling Drill Held On Friday Morning On last Friday morning Civics classes one and four spent their class periods, not in Civics work hut in spelling. On the previous day the classes had been given a test and due to the unusually bad spelling found the test papers, it was decided by the teacher that the students needed a drill in spelling as much as they needed class work in Civics. So the most frequently misspelled words were listed on the board and after a few moments rtudy the students were given the words in a spelling match. The class seemed to enjoy the drill and it is hoped that it has helped them in the development of a larger and more correct vocabulary.

The purpose of this article is to explain the necessity of charging more than 25c at the foot-ball games. Last year six games were played ^iupiijr. On ?our oi tnese games the regular price of 25c was charged. The average guarantee to the visiting teams for expenses was $30. and the average gate receipts were about $30- In other words the Athletic Association collected just about enough to pay the visiting teams. You may ask, "why would it be necessary to collect a surplus above expenses at each game." Let us consider first the matter of equipment. I shall list below the essential pieces of equipment for each boy, together with 1938 wholesale prices: Ilelment .... $ 4.95 Shoulder pads 4.10 Jersey 4.55 Kidney pads 3.75 Pants 6.15 Shoes 5.45 Total 28.95 Multinlv tViio K.. i" 1 * vy ana you nave the cost of outfitting a squad of 30 boys. Actually we need equipmentf 01 at least 50 boys in a school as large as Murphy. Add to this items of team equipment such as footballs, medicine kits, etc., plus the cost of transporting our players to other towns and you will have a fair idea of the cost of football. Please remember also that only two games last year netted anything toward these expenses, and you will understand why most schools charge 50c admission, and why we must charge at least 40c if we are to have football at Murphy. Compare 40c with the prices paid for college games ranging from $2.00 to S3 00 per ticket, and I believe you will agree that five games for $2.00 is a genuine bargain.
