R. Bain, who acted as critic, gave some very helpful advice, which if practiced, this literary society will be climbing the heights to the goal of success. He especially emphasized correct posture, as this seemed to be the thing that most of the ones who took part in the program were sadly lacking in. He als^ demanded that we have clean jokes and offered a few suggestions as to hog to improve the personal appearance when serving on the program. With this he offered other criticisms, after which he proph esied something that was very much appreciated by the entire society. He stated that in this society lies talent and ability with which to develop ora tors, speakers and useful men and women, and also that we have the possibility of triumphing over rivaT societies. ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION ADOPTS RESOLUTION ' The Athletic Association assembled in regular session a few days ago to discuss an important matter. At this meeting, a resolution forbidding any person, not a member of A. H. S. from becoming a member of the Asso ciation or taking part in any practice games in basketball, except by special invitation. If any of the town boys wish to form a basket ball team and would like, to" arrange scheduled games with the school teams, we would gladly extend them an invita tion to play on our court This step was voted on-after careful considera tion and was not intended as a meas ure against any of the town boys. Basketball Pifectice Begins Basketball practice has begun in earn eat and from all indications, we are to have a successful year and a victorious team. The game played on last Friday afternoon was a splen did example of real practice, two school teams engaging in the "basket battle." The score swayed from side to side, one team Anally winning by a 20-19 score. The res pective sides were: ? . Score 20 Score 19 POSITIONS Left Forward H. Holloman S. Isenhower Right forward D. Sessoms R. Hoggard Left guard A. Greene H. Garrett Right guard L. Powell . H. Johnson PEN PICTURES OF FACULTY BY SIBIL MYERS X She's the Freshie's teacher And must be Tery sweet disposed. To put up with the Freshies, Sure, everybody knows. n. Not very tall, yet not a bit small, Light hair, blue eyes and dress so neat. ? And when it comes to teaching Latin, She's mighty hard to beat. m He's a dandy teacher When it cornea to History And no one can ever beat him Teaching Chemistry. ? He comes in with his shoes shined. His hair so dick and prim And answers every question That Seniors pop to him. IV. When he comes in the morning, His hair so crimped with curls; Vou just ought to see his smile As he greets the boys and girls. And. in his class in French And especially geometry too, ' No one will ever know What our teacher must go through. IV. She has a bit of temper Most everybody knows, But H surely is a wonder V How this temper she controls; But she's ens of the best teachers That the seventh grade ever rooghsd. But the worst* thing about it. ThU town don't 'predate her 'nough. i r VI. ? Mistress Mary, quite contrary, Haa grown so slim and tall, / r Her "Shield** is now so faint and dim, She mast have "Moore" or not at all. 1 VII. i We will liken her to modest daisy ? With its beauty and'its use, , Because she- is never laxy i And "lota of work" is her excuse. VIII. Some used to fear a "Catling" While some fear only mice; But this Gatling all love dearly Because she is so nice. IX. The fairest Jewell that we boast, Was found way off our coast, But soon we think she will be with us, And join for good our 'hoskie dwell ers. X When she lifts her eyes so soft and brown And speaks to us so sweet and low. To her we all do fall down And wonder that she can say "no." XI. . She's been seen a great deal lately With her "Catling" in his car And we hope them great success, v And hope nothing their friendship will mar. XII. She's quite the youngest teacher, But not last of the thirteen, Her hair is black as midnight With eyes, the brightest ever seen. XII. She used to be a Barker, But now she is a Brown. You should be with us and hark her, Make music for all the town. SCHOOL NOTES Mr. and Mrs. D. L. Myers delight fully entertained the high school fac ulty, October 18, 1922. Many people look upon this date as a day of doom but to those who* attended this reception, spending a most enjoy able evening,* it will go down as a red letter day in their calendar. In this case, the thirteenth was one of the luckiest possible. Those who enjoyed the hospitality of Mr. and Mrs. My ers were Messrs. K. T. Raynor and T. R. Rain; Misses Emily Gayle, Bessie Gaddy and Mina Holloman. The Sophmores gave a very inter esting program in Chapel Tuesday 'morning.' The devotional exercises were conducted by Miss Gaddy.- She then gave this history and the practi cal lesson that Sam Walter Ross, author of "The House By the Side of the Road," had in view when he wrote this popular American poem. The class then repeated in unison, "The House by the Side of the Road." The Seniors must take a hint from the class of *25. We notice with much pleasure tljat a majority of the teachers have taken "The Warwhoop's" suggestions aa to beautifying their respective class rooms, particularly in the high school. Must we congratulate the Freshmen and Sophmores. Love, or rather ac imitation of love, seems to have established a Arm grasp even upon the tots of six and seven as every recess, while marching to the buildings, we hear a tiny voice from just across, the school boundary proclaimed with a loud tone, the words of' "Sweetheart, sweetheart," to some unknown person in the pri mary grades. "' , v., Miss Mable Clair Hoggard has re turned to her home in Ahoslde after spending some time at the Sarah Leigh Hospital. Although she has not returned to school yet, we all hope she will be back in the near fu ture. The seventh grade recited the poem, "Columbus," in chapel, Thurs day, October 12th. The day will be remembered as Columbus' discovery of Ameri<^. Contrasts There are days t*hich are light and cheery, And cause the heart to be glad. There are days which are sad and dreary, Which cause the heart to be sad. ? 1 In the days that come to ns always, There's a M(?y to make each one so bright By helping lift the load of other* Whose burdens have never been light 1 When some day* seem lonely and dreary, When some days seem often too long Why, just pas* a word of cheering To help them to right their own wrong, \ The days seem often two short . For those who try to gain But for those who do' not try to be something. They pass to earth like rain. ?MARY HOGOARD. Ghotti I Would Lilw To Moot There ere very few people who be lieve there is such a thing as a ghost. I am one of those who do not believe it, but at times, I wish there were such things as ghosts. If such a thing were possible, 1 would like very much to meet the ghosts of some of the famous men, whose names have gone down in his tory as great gefcerals and statesmen. The one I most desire to meet, is thst of our first president, George Washington. I would consider It a great honor if I could even see the "ghost" of a man who never told a lie. If I could only see the outline of this noble man's face, as it was in real life, I would consider it the great est privilege of my life. I would also like to meet the ghost of Robert E. Lee, the man, who in my estimation is the greatest hero the south has ever produced. This lov ing son, who always obeyed his moth er's slightest command without a mur mur. Re was not only true to his mother, but to his country as well; as a general he was loved and admired by all men, superiors and inferiors of rank alike. Such men as George Washington and Robert E. Lee do not exist today, and I don't think there are many, if any people who would not welcome the opportunity to look upon the faces of these grand and noble men, as they were in real life. There are others that I would like to meet, but none that I would con sider as great an honor as meeting either that of Washington or Lee. COLUMBUS McKEEL. .

Many MiDians Lost Annually by Check Raising It has been reliably estimated that from thirty to fifty millions i of dollars are being stolen annually from bank depositors who do not protect their checks. It may never have happened to you?yet your next check may be raised. It is next to impossible to write a check that is safe, unless protected with a modern device. Remember?that in these days, every class of cirme is con stantly increasing and an unprotected check is a dangerous asset. " No matter to whom you (Ave 'your check it is not safe for it may be transferred to another party or stolen from the mail or get into the hands of a dishonest employee, who by using a few drops of acid or by clever pen changing can make over your check so that you would scarcely know it. Do you know that your signature represents every dollar that you are worth? Is it not worth a few dollars of your money to protect it? ? Don't put this matter off another day?but write for inter esting literature on check protection. It does not obligate you at all. A post card will do. We can supply you with any standard make of check writer or protecting device for half price or less. An attractive proposition offered to live wire local salesmen.
