THE ROXBORO RAMBLER
Friday, February 4, 1938
We hear that Kitty Collins and
Rachel Hunter are very anxious to
know when we play Oxford. What
is the big attraction, girls?
Frances Foushee, we have been
hearing tales about you, and a cer
tain Semora boy. Have you stolen
Jack Pointer’s heart?
Bill Clay has been heard making
dates with Mildred Russell. Watch
out, Vic.
Instead of the well known triangle
we have a four-sided figure. Louise
Dickens was seen at the Yanceyville
game with Lewis Adams; Charles
Gates was seen taking Margaret
Markham to a dance. Boy, do we
have fun?
Charles Reade’s lanky legs were
seen going in the direction of a cer
tain house on the Semora road.
Slacky, would it have been Sarah
Winstead’s? Just one more thing be
fore we let you go: Charles Reade,
can you spell “smooch”?
We hear that our little freshman
girls are starting young. But it seems
that Margaret Mills and Betty Kane
have got their eyes on the same boy.
Watch out, Elmo Mitchell, they’re
on your trail.
Flash: Four girls boycotted or sup
posedly boycotted several boys dur
ing the holidays because certain par
ties left town and the poor boys had
nowhere to go. The unfortunate boys
were “Donnie, the Snail,” “Red Bar”
Hair, “Cow,” and “Chackey.”
Overheard in the library: Bitty:
“I have a swell technique when it
comes to girls.” Evelyn: “You’re
telling me!”
Also Christmas holiday flash: Ra
chel Hunter took a liking to “Boots”
that aren’t made of leather.
When A Man Is
Really Educated
He will cultivate his manners as
well as his brains.
He will not think that his diploma
is his passport to success.
He will appreciate the higher, finer
things.
He will not be a snob: he will be
kind to and considerate of others,
rich or poor.
He will know the value of spare
time for self-improvement.
He will be willing to take advice
of the more experienced.
He will control himself under
provocation.
He will not always be thinking of
self.
He will know that it is more im
portant to make a life than to make
a living.

JOKES
A tragedy in three acts:
Act I—Algy met a bear.
Act II—The bear was Bulgy.
Act III—The bulge was Algy.
The difference between “tomah-
toes” and “tomatoes” is the differ
ence between higher culture and
agriculture.
1st tramp—“I haven’t had a crust
to gnaw for two weeks.”
2nd tramp—“Well, what you don’t
gnaw won’t hurt you.”
A certain gentleman from the city
went to visit a friend in the country,
and during the night he woke up,
and being hot, he drank a glass of
water which was on a table by his
bed.
Next morning, he complimented
his host for being considerate enough
to put a glass of water on the table.
But, said his host, that was Sonny’s
glass of tadpoles.
“Isaac! Isaac! There’s a burglar
under the bed, I can hear him snor
ing.”
Isaac: “Let him alone, honey, and
in the morning we’ll charge him for
a night’s lodging.”
Mrs. A. F. Nichols and Mr. J. W.
Gaddy, Jr., attended the funeral of
Mrs. Trotter, the mother of Mrs.
Mary Long, in Reidsville, Monday.

Mr. Gaddy Speaks
To Student Body
(Continued from page 1)
self-pity is the most dangerous. Don’t
have self-pity or you will be a com
plete failure. When a man begins to
feel sorry for himself, he loses the
sympathy of the whole world. You
are never really defeated until you
admit that you are. We should strive
for what we achieve, and spend less
hours trying to. get something for
nothing.
It is the right kind of self-pride
to feel that you can be as clean, as
honest, as polite, as much of a gen
tleman, or as much of a lady as any
one. Always feel that you have the
ability to do worthwhile things. There
is nothing as cheap as being polite.
No investment that can pay such
enormous dividends as being polite
to everyone. Let it be said that the
pupils of our school are polite.
We should all remember that there
is no satisfaction quite so great as
knowing you have done what you
started out to do.
Mr. Gaddy closed his talk by giv
ing us one of Edwin Markham’s
poems.
“Defeat may serve as well as victory
To shake the soul and let the glory
out.
When the great oak is straining in
the wind,
The boughs drink in the new beauty,
and the trunk
Sends down a deeper root on the
windward side.
Only the soul that knows the mighty
grief
Can know the mighty rapture.
Sorrows come
To stretch out spaces in the heart
for joy.”

The senior class elected as their
grade-mothers, Mrs. T. E. Austin,

Wagstaff, and Mrs. K. L. Street. The

The seniors feel proud to have
these people as their grade-mothers
and fathers, and hope that they will
feel free to visit them at any time.
Advice To Girls
Don’t go out with—
Track men-—they’re too fast.
Football men—they tackle any
thing.
Swimmers—they’re all wet.
Tennis players—they’re like all
good rackets, and play too many
love games.
Baseball players—they hit and
run.
Basketball players—they’re always
taking time outs and getting “out of
bounds.”

The Debating Club has started
working on the query for debate
among high schools throughout the
United States, which is: Resolved:
That the several states should adopt
a unicameral system of legislation.
It is thought that the preliminaries
will be held about the middle of
February. This high school will be
in the triangle with Hillsboro and
Yanceyville, the same as last year.
