FOOLISH FOOLERY « By I William Privett | THE INTRUDER. Lady Harshfield had retired for the night. Outside it was dark and dreary. The very atmosphere foretold danger. But Lady Hershfield was ready for the excitement that made her family famous. She had left the windows open,. She knew some one was to visit her room that night. And so, beside her bed, in a place she could readily reach, was a stick that she had brought from the woods and trimmed that evening. There in the stillness she lay, pa tiently waiting for the intruder to enter. Then she thought she heard a noise, but no—that was only her imag ination. Lady Hershfield sat up! She had heard something! There by the rays of the table lamp she could faint ly distinguish, a—what waJi it? She screamed! Then her courage came to her; she seized her club and struck. The room rang as the blow landed on her vir> tim—she had killed him!—Poor bug! r GRAMMAR SCHOOL L J THE SONG WRITES AN ENCYCLO PEDIA Napoleon Bonaparte—He faw down go boom.

At tractive posters were made and dis played in the hall. Miss DeVane, from the public library, gave a talk on how to take care of books. At the same chapel meeting, the pupils were pre pared to donate books to the school library, the seventh grade students presenting about fifty. The play of the week was given by Room 5 and entitled “The Golden Key.” Four book characters tried to find the key to Bookland by telling of other book characters Alice, from Wonderland, found the key by giving the children, who were judging, library cards. Following the absence of the English teacher, this letter was written by a Seventh Grade boy during Book Week: Dear Teacher, I missed you yester day as your voice always reminds us of the “Call of the Canyons.” And your face is like the flowers of “The Magic Garden.” We all love you as “Robin Hood” did Little John. I sup pose, when we come in from playing football, we remind you of ‘;‘Tarzan of the Apes.” When we get out of school, we are like “Peg O’My Heart ” We are “so hungry that our souls are hanging on a thread,” and we always think of home as “The Kingdom Around the Comer.” Sincerely, YOUR PUPIL. JOURNALISTS UNEARTH INTERESTING HOBBIES BANQUET INVITATION. (Continued from first page) (Continued from first page) CHAPEL PROGRAMS, Many interesting and varied cha^l programs have been presented this year. A very appropriate one was given by Room 1 for St. Valentine’s Day. Room 4 entertained with a fine St. Patrick’s Day program. Everyone wore a paper shamrock made by the pupils of the Seventh Grade In drawing classes. An account of the life of St. Patrick was given and a number of Irish songs were sung in the form of a play. “Pat and Mike” also presented several tricks.'

After the contest the visitors were delightfully entertained at the home of one of Fayetteville’s Hi Students. A few performances of exhibition danc ing enabled Helen and Nell to vamp the title of being the “belles of the ball”; and when Helen asked to retire for fhe night, she pitifully re plied: Aw, Miss Kornegay. let’.^ don’t go yet, I’ve just started to have a good time” A Dramatic Club meeting v.'^as call ed immediately upon the arrival cf t'lo students the next morning at 10-30. and a spee'^h was required from all those who had journeyed lo Fayette ville.

Jarvis Keel, from the I.O O.F. Home, will probably some day be widely netted for his musical ability, if he does not slacken his pace of learning. His hobby is the beating of the base drum, snare drum, symbols, and trian gular. After graduation, he intends to secure advanced lessons at some conservatory of music. Although these are only a few of the instruments that a drummer has to contend with Jarvis says that the pleasure is all his. Elizabeth Hood, Mary Elizabeth Hartshorn, and Eleanor Bizzell collect college stickers; while Louise Wood ard, Doris Mae Pate, and Naomi' Dan iels go a-walking. The former three have stickers from every college and university in the state and a large number from those outside the state; whereas, the latter three who seek pleasure in walking are often seen hoofing it along the highways. Some of the teachers are caught doing this too. It has also been noted that various forms of athletics are hobbles for a large number of the students. Among those to be mentioned here are: Char lie Smith, baseball; George Edwards, track; Edwin Evans, tumbling; and Archie Pate, pole vaulting. Bettie Barino, a student of the Jour nalism class, has found it fascinating and' enjoyable to collect copies of pic tures painted by famous artists. When she hears of some particular work of art that is creating a sensation among picture lovers, she immediately begins the task of acquiring and adding it to her collection. “Of course,” Bettie says, “it is quite interesting, but it requires much time and patience.” The hobbies of the Faculty are in deed too numerous to mention for they include everything from canary bird raising to airplane riding. While most of the teachers enjoy traveling during the summer monfhs, they all have uLixei iiouuy liiat never laiis to entertain them when they are lone some and blue during the school months. Mr. Armstrong, the Super intendent, seeks pleasure in raising chickens and playing tennis. Miss Perry clips poems and sayings of great men, putting a different one on her home room board every day. She en joys coaching of dramatics MISS ROARK HAS AN ORIGINAL ONE. Undoubtedly, where hobbies are con- anyway ” These were a few of the questions fired at poor Sidney. While Sidney was meekly taking it in, the Professor stepped on the chewing gum. With a silent oath he led Sidney to the office by his ear. The dream then drifted into George’s junior year when he was the hero of some hardfought football game, John Peacock, riding on the shoulders of his classmates representing the hero. Following that George’s subconscious mind turned to his senior year. He was represented as Senior President by Edgar Biain, who was thinking of the Junior-Senior banquet and who he would take. As he rounded the corner of the school building he was accosted by two Juniors, who wanted help on their French lessons. He told them he was busy but would try to help them at recess. Just as they left, another sought help on Algebra, and a fourth on history. He promised to help them all, although he saw nO pos sible chance of doing it. At that moment Worth Baldwin— the Professor again— came up with several things for him to do When Worth left Ed wore a disconsolate look On his face, for he knew that he could not possibly do all that he said he would do. While Edgar’s mind was sifting out all these thoughts, along came his fa vorite girl, Elizabeth Hood, who easily persuaded him to forget it all and go for a soda. A Senior would do that any day, and moreover Elizabeth knew it. In conclusion Margaret Brown ap peared as his good fairy, and led George to the end of the rainbow where rested a pot of gold. From this pot he took a scroll on which was written the Invitation to the banquet. THE JUNIOR BOOK OF KNOWLEDGE The Spectator in “Sir Roger De Coverly Papers” was called the Inspec tor by F. M.

Unable to go very far, due to snags and undergrowth, they left the boat and began to follow the stream via the bank. From that point their journey was uninterrupted until Mark stepped into the only mud hole between the river and lake. After much snagging and many scratches they finally reached their destination. They then looked over the improve ments of the lake and started back. Seventy scratches later they found the boat and began the return journey (the moon was high in the heavens by then). When they finally came to the river the contest of the evening began The river was about two feet higher than usual and the current was unusually strong. When the boat was finally exposed to the current the bat tle royal was on, paddling like mad they made little progress and once they were swept down the river, so strong was the current.
