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.
Clipping Shelf Added
To School Library
The library has just added a special
shelf to be known as a clipping
shelf. Here are to be found old
magazines and newspapers that may
be clipped for use in rmtnhn^L-c

near this shelf is used by the
students while clipping.

Pay 40 Cents
C 1~* -i 11 ?
i or r ootoaur
By Kathleen Roberts
Having assisted at the main gate
during most of our football games
this fall, I have heard considerable
discussion pro and con relative to the
general admission charge of 40c from
Murphy football fans who have been
accustomed to paying 25c in the past.
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.

they are putting their shorthand into
