HI HAPPENINGS
There is being formed a tennis club
in the High School by certain mem
bers of the senior class. Tennis is
not new here but we believe this will
be a great improvement over the ef
forts of a few' years ago.
Material is being collected for a
first class court, w'hich w'ill be com
pleted as soon as possible.
We now' have fifty prospective
members. Rules and regulations will
be drawn up by the club and tourna
ments w'ill be held between sets and
also individuals.
We are not closing with the present
members by any means', but we want
just as many more members as we
can get, so if you are interested in
tennis, either as a beginner or as an
advanced player, join our club im
mediately and enjoy with us a good
game of tennis.

Altho many of the old players of
last year have gone, there is still much
material for a. baseball team. We lack
a pitching staff, but w'e’re relying on
Ijeonard for a start. An infield may
),e selected from Dick and Loo Leon
ard, Shoaf, Andrews and Zimmerman.
The outfield from Anderson, Miller
and Cope. The team has uniforms
and a good ball diamond in the Pair
Grounds. No coach, however, is
available.

Come on, boys and girls, let’s put
out a real Hi debating team. We can
do it, it’s not such a hard job; it just
takes practice. Don’t give as an ex
cuse that you can’t debate, because
you can. Just get behind it and push
it ahead and you’ll soon find out that
you have the hang of the w'hole w'orks.
Dont back out because you are a
“fresh” or a “soph.” If you are
either of these, by a little practice
you can debate as W'ell as a junior or
perhaps even a dignified senior. So
think it over and for the school’s sake
come out wdth your debate.

Miss Brown recently requested that
everybody in the senior class write an
original article or poem.
.After looking over the ijapers she
selected “Doc’s” as being the best one
in the bunch. This was quite unus
ual, but nevertheless she thought for
once “Doc” had really done some
thing w'orth while.
On her English class she began to
read his paper and show' the other
pupils what an excellent poem it was,
when one of the puils said, “Why,
that very poem is in the Literary Di
gest.”

It w'as announced last week that
letters would be sent to the parents of
those pupils “flunking” examinations.
The pupils then made the announce
ment that they would do their best
to intercept those letters. It appears
that friction is about to develop.

Last Friday the girls of the Senior
Class decided that they w'ould pull
something over on the boys, w'ho, by
the way, are their most important ri
vals for senior honors—they, in their
old age, decided to take a rapid flight
back to childhood, w'hich they did by
donning many-colored hair ribbons.
Miss Wilson says according to their
actions that day it w'as decidedly a
success.
A HIGH SCHOOL ROMANCE.
Vi HAT IS THIS—BEI E MONDAY"?
Milcli'ccl Conrad, ’22
When the w'holg darn w'orld is cross
eyed,
.And when your sense of humor is
lame.
And things all go upside dow'n
-And you get all the blame;
When your heart is sore and your
Brain gets sprained.
And everybody is down on you.
And life appears one big, blank spot—
That’s what I call just blue.
Ylartlia Bragaw, ’24
The other day as I sat warming my
hands over some Cowles, I heard
someone say, “Y^ow! Help!” I jump
ed up and said, “YV'arc are you?”
“Here on the VYhilser” (wall, sir). I
looked and saw' a hand Beckon me to
follow'. “This is Jolly,” I said, “hut
very Strange.” I jumped into my
Ford and was driven to Troy by my
Brown Slioaf-er (Chauffeur), where I
was met by a White Free-inan, who
said to me, “If you don’t hurry, Ella
Ylay Sink into the YY’aters of the
Springs.” I increased my speed in
spite of the fact that Brantley was
Barr-ing the w'ay by a rope made of
Sheets. When I reached the Springs,
I took one of the Potts standing near
Andrew (and drew) some Redwine.
I then began to Hunt for the lady
who was in danger and I found her in
a garden where grew a great deal of
Kale. My Ford being out of fix I
drove her home in a Hackney coach.
On the W'ay she was stung by a Fara-
bee but I cheered her up by paying
her the money I had been Owen her.
We were married by a Kirknian and
I hope shall live happily all the rest
of our lives.

play a clean, fair game.
• The school support was the best yet!
The yells were fine, and Bob LePevre
yelled with a cow bell. Between the
halves Shoafy led the snake dance.
The yells were led by Read Barbee
and Reynolds Shoaf.
Lexington started out by throwing
the first goal and at one time we were
five points ahead. At the end of the
first half Albermarle was one point
