Barker of the Mothers' Club all expressed the willingness of these organizations to co-operate with the new organization.

"Well, then, get the Boaphorus." The boat came in and heard them and then said, "Idon't want to Rus sia, but you can't Roumania." So the two Tommie went away Hungary. "Father, when I graduate I'm go ing to follow my literary bent and write for money." "Well, son, you ought to be suc cessful, That's all you've been do ing since you started to college." Advice: Smile a while. It coats nothing, is contagious and makes the world happier. Try it. The little boy interrupted his fath er's reading of the paper with a pe tition. "Please, Daddy, tell me the story about the Forty Thieves." The father, aroused from his ab sorption in political news and com ment on the campaign, regarded hii son thoughtfully for a moment, and then shook his head. "No," he answered decisively, "You must wait until you're a little older, my son. You're too young tc understand politics." Mr. Raynor: "Cedric, punctuate this sentence, 'A beautiful young lady was walking down the street." Cedric: 'I would make a dash (?) after the beautiful young lady. Someone asked a darkey from Richmond who was visiting in the North as to the population of the city. "Ah don't eclsakly know, suh," was the reply, "but I opine 'bout a hund red an' twenty-five thousan' countin' de whites." Arte mas Ward said: "When I am sad, I sing and then others are sad ! with me." Lawyer (wrangling with another . lawyer) "You are the biggest fool I ever knew. Judge: "Order, there, order! You i seem to forget I am in the room. | "Yo, means ter say dat yo' done wore out dem shoes already?" "Niggah, dey am so thin on de bot .. torn dat Ah can step on a dime and tell if its heads or tails. The Value of Literary Societies "I owe my oratorical ability, my ease and clearness of thought," said one our greatest southern statesmen, "to the splendid training I received in the literary society of my alma mater." In these well chosen words, he ably expressed "Uie purpose and work which the literary societies of our high schools and colleges are accomplishing?the work of training our young manhood and womanhood to think clearly and intellectually, to enrich their visions of the future and to- cherish the hope of becoming lead ers among men. Such there, is their broad scope of work and unceasingly have they accomplished it and are continuing to accomplish it Only a few months ago, Thomas Walter Bickett was North Carolina's most gifted orator, an orator who had I proclaimed the glory of his native state far and abroad. But where was he trained, where was his ability as an orator developed? The answer is indeed simple?In the Euzelian Liter ary Society of Wake Forest College. Hundreds of other notable examples may be cited and and the history of North Carolina's greatest statesmen may be traced to the societies of the University of North Carolina, Wake Forest, Trinity, Davidson and other colleges, and likewise shall their glor ious work be continued and broaden ed, and future leadersbe trained with in their halls. For several years, the literary so cieties have not flourished at Ahoskie High School as they should have and our graduates have entered the col leges and university of our State, not having received this particular lit erary training. Put it ?Vi? 11 vint K- -ii i? lli- '-In?' ?? ? ? ?? ???????? iivv UC gv >ii yuc luvuiVi We have realized our long felt need and the entire high school student body of A. H. S. has started in with a grim determination to make the literary societies count for a greater usefulness to the school and commun ity during the 1922-23 session. We shall profit by the past and its fa'lurea and no longer shall our possibilities lie dormant. The future is befori us aid who shall venture to say that gifted orator, noted statesmen and talented men and women shall not come from Ahoskie? To be sure, the class of '23. and the other classes in general shall take their place among the ranks of men as prominent and far-seeing citizens. But, my friends, our future depends upon the princi ples instilled and in no other phase of school is there a greater possibility of nourishing these fundamentals than in the literary societies. We shall endeavor to arrange at tractive and inspiring programs thru , out the year. The editor is quite sure that the presidents of the respective societies would welcome suggestions as to their general betterment Fre quently our halls shall be thrown open to the public and on such oeca , sions, we ask that a goodly number of our patrons attend. We shall em phasize debates as A. H. S. will, this year, enter the triangular debates , conducted annually by the University I of North Carolina. And, if I may prophesy, our outcome shall be vic tory. [ The entire faculty and student body , ask your sincere and constructive co operation in the literary societies of Ahoskie High School. , T. W. B. Senior Clui Selects Colors, Flowor, Motto and Class Mascot The Senior Class met Thursday af ternoon, October 5, 1922. The class was called to order by the president and the purpose of the meeting was announced, being the "annual elec tion" of Senior colors, flower and motto. The class .also unanimously, elected little Miss Frances Boyette as the mascot. The secretary was in structed to writo the mascqt and con gratulate her upon her reeent election. The election reeulted as foil owe: Colors?Lavender and white. Flower?Sweetpea. Motto?"We have crossed the bay, the ocean lies before us." Mascot?Frances Boyette. The Atheletic Association held its weekly meeting, Wednesday, Octo ber 4, '1922. Several important is sues were brought before the associa tion, chief among them being the resignation of the president, Hfcnry Holloman. The resignation was ac cepted by the members and in due order, Horace Garrett was elected president. The Association congrat ulates our president and will give him our support in all matters of Import ance. The treasurer, Elisabeth Dilday, gave her report. To date, the treas urer has $46.10. A large amount of this will be paid out immediately for supplies. The Association hopes to stage an interesting play in the near future, the proceeds to be used for athletics, and thus swell our treasury. Junior Athletic Association After talking it over among them selves, the grammar grade boys and some of the smaller high school boys of the Ahoskie High School came to the conclusion that they were trying to keep faster company than they were capable of, as members of the Senior Athletic Association. They withdrew their entrance fees from the Senior organization, and on Friday, October 6th met and organized a Junior Athletic Association. The fol lowing officers were elected. President?Henry Clhty Odom. Secretary?E. C. Hobbs. Treasurer and coach?Columbus A. McKeel. It is generally known that these boysr though small, have lots of "pep" and enthusiasm. They intend to put out a brand of athletics very seldom achieved by any grammar grade boys.

S.,. soliciting their orders for class rings and pins. Publishing houses have also sent in their "ads" for pennants, invitations and annuals. The Ghost of tho Wood* It wag the custom in some sections of Kentucky for people to meet to gether and tell ghost stories. There are very few people who do not care to hear ghost stories, because often after the story is told, they are af raid to go home, fearing that the ghost might attack them. So one cold December night, a group of country folk gathered in the home of farmer John Smith, their champion story teller, to hear him :>ell some of his marvelous exper iences. Mr. Smith's orders were that they all should cuddle close to the fireside. He then lighted his pipe, for no man can tell a ghost story so well if he is not smoking. Then he proceeded as follows: "Once there lived in a house not very far from here an old man who was cruel to his slaves. One of his favor ite pastimes was to drive nails in a barrel, put a slave in and roll it down a hill, another was to whip the slave until he was nearly dead." "These poor creatures declared that when they died they would hide in the woods and haunt everyone that = passed the spot where they had been so cruelly beaten. "People declare that the slaves of the old man are seen to open the door, and 'Rat-tat-tat'?and their own door knob turned- The frightened audi ence was motionless, their mouths were as large as a lion's mouth, their eyes the size of a silver dollar, and thierjieir was as stiff as hog bristles. None of his audience uttered a sound, not one of them moved an inch, but were as motionless as corpses. What is the trouble?" asked Mr. SmifcKT ! " 'Didn't you see the hands of the I old sieve turn the door knob?' " an- I swered one of the terrified youngsters. I " 'Why he did for a fact,' " an- I swered the story teller, half smiling!! to himself( for he had instructed his ? boy to do this. 1 ~ Mr. Smith continued his story, but j|| he could not get their attention, as they were still thinking of the mys terious turning of the knob. After this they exchanged jokes around the fireside, played games, and forgot about the ghost. They had finished the games when Mr. Smith began telling them that there was supposed to be a ghost in the woods next to the graveyard; it was the spirit of the one of the negroes that had been beaten by the old man, and then rolled down the hill in a barrel wfch nails driven in it. Presently Mrs. Smith announced that it was 10:30, so everybody pre pared to leave, stepping out of the door with very much uneasiness, fori fear that they might encounter the dreaded object. All was well until they reached the graveyard. Who was to go first? When they finally decided that the oldest was to be the first, a white ob ject appeared on a grave, advancing slowly toward them. They knew not, which way to run. The ghost then 11 sprang, leaping on the shoulders of _ the largest. There was shrieking, screaming, and knashing of teeth. The girls cuddled together like a cov ey of partridges upon the approach of a dog,?while the boys ran as fast as they could, as the ghost continued riding on the shoulders of the largest. During this last profession the girls ran home safely. When the jolly Mr. Smith told them that the "Ghost of the Wood" las only his boy, they were angry and ashamed.
