Allie is sitting by the maga zine rack turning over the leaves of | a fashionable magazine. | Mrs. Ladd (turning to her hus-1 band): Julian, what are we going to do with Jack? He just runs with a rough bunch all the time. He won’t go about nice boys at all. He calls them sissies. This afternoon when I came in from upstreet he had seven boys and all Sam Hunt’s bull dogs in the parlor. My furniture is ruined | Mr. Ladd (absent mindedly) : Well j Clara boys will be boys. Jack will j come around all right after while. I guess he’s a good deal like his pa used to be.. Mrs. Ladd: Julian, I don’t believe you care a straw about what that boy does! Mr. Ladd: Well, I don’t know that caring would do any good.

(He makes a dive for Jack who dodges behind hs father’s chair.) Mr. Ladd: Held off a minute and explain yourself Ranny. Randolph: (Pantingly): Tonight when He’en started to introduce me to Dr. Woods she said, “Papa, you know Randolph, don’t you?” He said no, but I know enough about him. You’re the boy that had the fight in front of the church Sunday night, aren’t you. No! No! I told him, that was my younger brother, but wouldn’t listen to me. It’s not the first time this rascal has gotten me into trouble! (He shouts as he makes another dive for him.) Jack: (Snatching up the pups and running away) : Now keep your girls. I’m satisfied with the pups Run along up stairs little sis. I’ll be up and curl your hair for you in a minute! shown at the Columbia Theatre. Th s is, without a doubt, a wonderful pic ture. It depicts in remarkable scenes the historical Civil war or the con flict between the North and South. It shows the immortal Lincoln as he earnestly prays for the great conflict to cease. This is right in line with the teaching in our high school and we feel that every high school stu dent would be well repaid in seeing this wonderful picture, especially for its historical value. STUDENTS SHOULD SEE ‘BIRTH OF A NATION” Our readers will note in the col umns of this issue the announcement of the “Birth of a Nation” to be BASEBALL SEASON OPENS. (George Snuggs.) The cracking of the bat and the popping of the mitt can be heard at the high school practice these after noons. The boys are lining up in good form and with “Doc” Whitley steering the team, the high school is sure of a good winning season. Baseball is the king of sports and every student of the high school should take much interest and sup port the team. The Albemarle high school has the pitchers, catchers, and other p’ayers, but what they need is the co-operation of the student body. Come on and let’s make baseball a success!
