R BROADCASTING STATION C. S. H. S. interesting Notes of Cool (By Writers Club of C. S. H. S.) Christmas holidays are being her alded in by much excitement; ex clamations over examinations, ex-. changed ideas of Christmas gifts, | with now and then the noise of a fire-cracker to heighten the excite-! ment. Well, it won't be long now! Back From Mars Hill Miss Barnes, Lila Gordon King, and Philip Chambers returned Sat urday afternoon from Mars Hill • where they represented C. S. H. S. j in the Recitation and Declamation! contest. We are 'proud to say that Lila j Gordon King won second place in the preliminary contest. However, a girl from Asheville and a boy from Mars Hill won out in the finals, which were held Saturday morning. Every courtesy was extended to the delegates. Friday evening, a dinner was given in their honor. Here all the chaperons were asked to give a talk. Miss Barnes said she did not remember enough of what she said for us to report on her speech!!! The boys were invited to attend j the boys' society. This was very] much enjoyed. The ringing of a bell awoke Miss Barnes and Lila Gordon about six o'clock Saturday morning. Of course they did not know that this was the rising bell, but just turned over to see how well they could sleep on the other side—therefore, they had to go down town for breakfast!! Though our representative did not bring back the cup to C. S. H. S., we are very proud of their showing in the contest.

Mae Hill sang a beauti ful song, accompanied by Miss Wilder and William Ayers on the violin. The popular sextette sang a song which was enjoyed by all. Dr. Duncan gave , an interesting address to the foot-! ball boys. In his talk he stressed his; points on good sportsmanship, both in games and in life. We quote Dr. Duncan in saying "Be Honest in all you do and play a fair game whether you win or lose." He urged the boys to act always so that their actions could in no way reflect anything but honor to the school, whose letters they were to wear. The awarding of letters came next by Mr. Sietz; then Mr. Eaks made a talk to the stu dents. Honor System for C. S. H. S.? Much interest was created among the student body by a talk made by Prof. J. W. Eaks in chapel Wednes- j day, December 7 concerning the , "Honor System." It is his ambition to organize a student council in our school, as has been done in many others, which will have control of punishing pupils charged with mis ! demeanors. This has been tried in j many other schools and colleges, and iis found to be very successful. It gives the student a feeling of re sponsibility and puts him on his hon or not to do anything to reflect on the school. This student council would be formed of representatives from the student body, and would in vestigate charges brought against any pupil. "It is your duty, student, to find THE FOREST CITY COURIER, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 15, 1927 out and stop any cheating or mis behavior in this schooL I think the Honor System is a good way of put ting this matter into the students' hands," he said. We know this is true 1 and would like to have the matter thought over by the students. Football Letters Awarded Cool Springs' most successful foot ball season came to a dramatic finish [when Coach Sietz awarded letters to : sixteen men who had played sixteen ; quarters or more. The student man [ ager, Bill Biggerstaff also received a | letter. The awarding of the letters took i place in chapel on December 7- In awarding t£e letters Coach Sietz told how many quarters each man had played and gave each an oppor tunity to say a few words, however only two availed themselves to this golden opportunity. Wyman Wood, the silver tongued orator of the school, in a few well chosen words, promised always to do his best to i uphold C. S. H. S. when he went ito college next year. He also toM of : his pride in having won the coveted : "C". It is revealed that Wyman came from Belmont and in his speech he declared he had never played with a cleaner bunch of athletes than those which represented the Old Gold and Black this fall Adelaid Peeler, cap tain-elect for next year, thanked the boys for the honor that they had be stowed upon him and promised to give his best efforts to make next team even better than this year's team. The following received letters: Captain "Red" Watkins, played in thirty-five quarters.
