Goods i^ill begin arriving in a

I additional space for groceries,
etc., will be available in the main
building. It is understood that the
store will be in charge of G. C.
McKeithan, who has been with
the Shallotte Trading Company
for many years.
High Times
Friday afternoon the boys and
| girls of the basketball teams got
j their miniature basketballs. They
| are really beautiful. Now when
| you see some blinding object
walking down the street it is just
lone of our players wih his or her
I trophy. Speaking of basketball,
don't you anxious fans forget the
Star-News Y. M. C. A- tourna
ment and that the Leland boys
are just waiting to play our boys
again. We don't mind, do we,
folks ?
Mr. Arlington, Stuart Arring
ton and "Sir Timothy Storma
long", her dog, had an exciting
time in Wilmington when they
had an accident. We guess the
other man should have had his
glasses clean.
The attention of all is called
to the fact that Agnew Fulcher
has not been in detention hall
during the past three weeks. Keep
the good work up, Aggie.
The unbelievable has happened
in Southport high school! The
whole school is in a stir over the
loss of Mr. Sanders' anatomy
book. If you don't believe it just
take a look at what is happening
now. All of the physical educa
tional boys are running around,
asking everyone: "Have you seen
Mr. Sanders' anatomy book?" The
answer is always the same, "No."
Another queer happening in con
nection with the anatomy book
may be if you glance at the roof
of the school building. You will
see Boyce Spencer, George Stan
ley, Richard Brendle, LeRoy Stan
ley, Jimmy Ratcliffe and Charlie
Robbins running about like wild
deer (not dear) looking for the
anatomy book. So far no one has
had no luck in finding it. Don't
worry Mr. Sanders, we'll find it
for you.
Well folks, seeing that some
of you don't know some of our
student^'nby their nicknames, we
would like to take this opportun
ity of letting you in on' both the
nicknames an nonsense. Elizabeth

W. S. Wells Plans To Carry
Colored Photograph With
Him To Raleigh Thurs
day For Representation To
N. C. State Team
A pretty hand-colored photo
graph 16-in.x20-iri. will be carried
i to the Southern Conference Bas
| ketball Tournament In Durham
i this week. Autographed by Bill
?Wells, class of 1924, North Caro
lina State College, the picture
will also be autographed by mem
I bers of the Wolfpack basketball
I team and hung in their trophy
room.
The picture is that of the Wolf
pack, a 54-foot trawler, built for
Mr. Wells by the Diesel Engine
Sales Company, of St. Augustine,
Fla. This corporation is a sub
sidiary of the General Motors
Company.
The boat is said to be the only
one ever owned in North Caro
lina named for an atheletic or
ganization. Mr. Wells, a rabid fan
of the Wolfpack football and
basketball teams, decided even
before starting to build, that the
next boat in his fleet would be
named the Wolfpack. In addition
to several other boats the Wolf
pack is a sister ship to the W.
S. Wells, the Bill, Jr. and the
Claudia J. All four of these were
built at St. Augustine, of identi
cal design and size.
Captain Clarence Spencer oper
ates the Wolfpack and has for
his mate Captain John Woort
man, Estonian skipper of the
Roland, a little 37-foot boat that
brought 15 men and two women
refugees on the 7,500-mile journey
from Sweden to the United States
last summer. Captain Woortman
says that the Wolfpack, with its
100 h. p. diesel engines, sh,ip to
shore and powerful light plant is
quite a contrast to the Roland
in which he sailed the ocean.
Along with the State College
Wolfpack basketball team being
the best in the State, Bill Wells
believes that their namesake, the
trawler Wolfpack is also one of
the best trawlers in operation on
the coast of North Carolina.

CATHOLIC INFORMATION
Isn't It Hard To Be A Catholic ?
Isn't it hard to be a Catholic
and have to go to Mass every
Sunday whether you feel like it
or not?to have to abstain from
meat on Fridays, even if you
lcathe fish and eggs?to have to
confess your sins to a priest,
even your most secret ones?to
have to do the many things that
the Catholic Church demands of
its members?
Isn't it hard to be a father
and have to go to the office or
mill or field on every week-day,
whether you feel like it or not?
to have to abstain from many
things you'd like to do if you had
no wife or children?to have to
help with the' lessons and enter
tainment cf ypur youngsters,
even though you'd rath.er be read
ing the "sporting extra"?to have
to do the many things that your
duties as a parent demand of
you?
Isn't it hard to be a soldier or
a sailor?and to have to risk
death on the battefield, in ths
skies on the seas ?
Hard? How hard every com
pulsion of. life is for the man who
has no purpose?no goal to aim
at?no love for aught but him
self!
Toy, suffering, self-denial, sacri
fice?Wow sweet ? thair flavor to
him who offers them as a free
gift of love to his family, his
neignoor, ms country, nis uuu.
The Catholic believes that his
duty to God is to do exactly what
God a$ks of him. He believes
that his Church was established
by Jesus Christ to make clear
to him exactly what God ksks
of him. He believes therefore
that he has before him an un
erring map of the road which
has to follow "up hill and down
dale," over rough spots and a
round sharp curves, in wet weath
er, cold weather?which he has
to follow, come what may, if he
is finally to arrive in the Pro
mised Land.
Isn't it hard to be Catholic?
Ask a poverty-stricken one of us
if he'd trade his route to Hea
ven for the wealth of the world.
Ask a pain-racked one of us if
he'd abandon his way of the cross
for the health of the world. Ask
the most insignificant. one of us
if he'd risk his road to eternity
for the applause of the world.
JuHt rule any one of us! ,#"3
Isn't it hard to be a Catholic*
That depends on how you
at it. But one thing is certain.
Ker the Catholic who realizes, it
would be unbearably hard not to
be one.
If it's nnythlug Catjholic, ask
a Catholic! For further infor?
