Richard h. Thornton ord, North Carolina otflfetr PATRONIZE OUR ADVERTISERS LET'S ALL BOOST OXFORD FOR A BIGGER, BETTER OXFORD vol. I. OXFORD, X. C. JAXL'ARY 27, 1922 NO. 11 MR OGLESBY SAYS GOODBYE It was with deepest regret that Ox ford bade farewell last Tuesday a. m. to Rev. Stuart R. Oglesby, one of its most highly esteemed citizens. We say this not because his calling hap pened to be that of the ministry, but because Mr. Oglesby is a man. In any vocation our respect for him woul 1 be the same. Mr. Oglesby has said love is the basis for a minister's success, and all his efforts have been characterized by that great quality. Everywhere he has extended and received love. Al- though we hate to give him up, we appreciate his reasons for leaving us, and we may rest assured that he leaves with only the noblest motives. As was suggested at the Christian Endeavor meeting, we should not feel so much that we are losing Mr. Ogles by, or even giving him up, but that we are lending him out and will re- i ceive interest paid in full in the knowledge of the great good that he will naturally do. Four years ago this December, Mr. Oglesby was called from the Rich mond Theological Seminary to preach a sermon in the Presbyterian church. So well was he liked at that time, when he had not yet finished his course, he was called here to succeed Rev. S. K. Phillips. His course was soon completed, and since that time he has been the regular and faithful pastor of the Oxford church. I'loiiv nun- ii-vii me- t'Ai nu u auu I services he has rendered during mr "At: 0 I active interest in the community, he 1 lit t ,u lU ' is a well-known figure in both the , , , . . . school and business centers. He was influential in the establishment, by his church, of a mission in Africa. His was the idea of publishing a church calendar. By his coming, the attendance of his church has greatly increased, and he was the organizer of the Christian Endeavor Society, i This society was organized one year ago under his supervision, with fif teen members. Now the society has ! forty-four members and fills a place , in trio li Vfa tf ri 'niinr I1L rf town that no other form of church ; life occupies 1 Last Sunday night at the meeting of the Christian Endeavor, Mr. Ogles-, by made a talk in which he express- ed his love for the boys and girl, and his regret at leaving them. "Yet," said he, "I expect to hear great things from this band of young work ers. If you ever leave Oxford, come west and look me up. I'll help you find a job." Edgar Recce voluntarily expressed the love and appreciation of the so ciety for Mr. Oglesby Herbert Rountree, Jr., presented Mr. Oglesby j with a Masonic watch fob, a good- bye gift from the society, expressing , as nearly as possiole our genuine sor- i row al n oeparcure an w.sn.ng lor , him a great success in his new field. Last Sunday night a packed house heard Mr. Oglesby preach one of the finest sermons that has been heard in Oxford. His subject was "Man's Greatest Sin." The speaker dealt with the first two commandments, and preached a beautiful sermon on love for God and our fellow man. It is impossible to express our re gards for Mr. Oglesby, and it would be folly to attempt such a thing; but The Tattler staff wish to speak for the school and the town in voicing the greatest praise and admiration for him, and in wishing for him and his fine fam51y a happy and prosperous future wherever they go.

Your flowers are indeed lovi - ly and fragrant, but no more lovely nor more fragrant than the sweet smiles and gentle disposition of our darling baby."

"You can't play it." "No," responded Mr. -Miggs, "for- tunately for you I cannot. And while I've got it he can't play it either. Get me?" THE 0. H. S. SENIORS' PERFECT DAY The first bell was ringing and sure - fate there stood Lillian, a gir! ho never was late. Serenely she went up the stairs an 1 entered the eleventh grade room u await the arrival of the rest of th poor "critters." They came straggling in by twos and threes and congrc gated around the radiators to have a friendly chat before the last bell, The only two studious ones were Hel- , n and Dora. They had their heads h .wed low over a book and were ar- -tuously translating "that awful French lesson." Just then Corinne Cannady who fills a large space in tir hearts and is the pride of our the conversation was cut short, and the seniors went to their seats, for French was to begin. They had hardly seated themselves when a puffing and blowing was heard. Everyone turned his eyes to- ward the door and who should enter but Inez? She told Bessie she had "run all the way from the monu ment" and declared she "just couldn't get here." Then the French lesson was consumed as well as could Ik1 expected. Just before the period was up Miss Tate told Edwin to give an illustration of the general use of the definite article.

Mrs. Fleming was delighted that we wer taking such an interest in geome- try. When we began the exercises, our knowledge vanished at an alarm- ingly fast rate. If anyone had called just then he would not have applied the term "dignified" to the senior class. Each member was striving to be as small as possible in order to hide behind the one sitting in front. We think it is a pity Frank Slaugh- ter is so smart because if he wasn t he could crawl right in the desk and aVoj(, unweIcome attention, )ot fdt ..mi(rhtv unrasy as she entered the English class.

The rest of us hadn't studied either, so when Miss Harrington mentioned L'AUeyro we thought perhaps it was a French sauce. The next thing on the schedule was scionrn.

Frank i went down stairs to get the history j maps. When he came in sight James became frightened lest he should be i weighted down and hastened to as-1 sist him. Then Sam, looking up and seeing that help was needed took Frank and the mans under his arm.i carried them across the room and sat them down. Then Miss Allen appear-j' ed and history began. We finished our lesson a few minutes before time. , Miss Allen told us to be quiet an-J stay in the history class until the bell rang. She was going downstairs to give her class their reports. After she left, such a stirring, bustling and babbling of voices never had been heard. Then, lo! Miss Harringtop appeared well, I won't telL the rest. This is the end of our perfect day. Inez Patterson SMALL BOY ON VALENTINE I don't know what to do. I got a girl that's really worth a five-cent valentine and I ain't got but two cents to my name. My credit ain't any good, an' I need one er my two cents to pay Jiinmie Johnson with for that marble I got from him. That leaves me one cent. Now, I could buy her a funny valentine with one cent, but then, she wouldn't like a funny one, an 'sides it don't say what I want ter say. How 'bout one er them little bitsey ones at the ten-cent store? I could buy one er them for one cent, but then, I want one that's big enough for me to sign my name to. An' sides, she'd think I was pore ef I jc-Kt sent her a penny one. I can't ast ma fer any money, 'cause then she'd make me tell her who I was gonna send it to. Pa knows, but the trouble is, pa always sends me to ma fer money. I jest natchally don't know what to do. Ain't got but one cer.t left to buy a valentine with fer a five-cent girl. . - . i ; .. ,- - ilood! I've thouehter sumDthin'.4 I'll , Jr " ' im, " " ' " ' ' - -- ' -4 ""-..

"LETTERS" AWARDED At chapel Thursday letters were awarded to the members of the foot ball team. Both Mr. Livingood and Mr. Credle made short talks in which they brought out what the letters re presented and expressed the hope that the inemb.rs of the team would set a good example for the rest of the stu dents and make the gold "0" the synilol of good sportsmanship. Those who received varsity letters are: Tincy Mitchell, Park.:r Leigh Tignor, Ivey Allen, Bailey Currin, John Ful ler, Frank Smith, Sidmy Taylor, Will Mitchell, Winston Tay!or, Thomas Royster, Ernest Mitchell, Cam East on, and Herman Meadows. Herman got his collar bone broken in the first game of the season and therefore could not play eight full quarters of a game but he did all he could and he certainly earned his letter. The cheer and song lead;rs and those players who did not ;!ay in at least eight quarters of a game receiv ed scrub letters. Alhpugh these let ters arc not so big as the varsity let ters they represent a whole lot of work. The scrubs are what make the team anyway and we all owe a lot of thanks to the following: Joe Floyd, Fred Perkins, Jack Cannady, Bonnie I tT-:f o . r : i vuson, oaiu varnniun, liiiam Walter Claude Parham, Russell Parham, "Almon Upchurch, R.
