SUCKINO SUCKERS By Mary Alice Bardin Although when a person reachee high ■chool age, he or she Is supposed to have acquired the dignity belonging to one In such a high position: the students of B.H.S. have lapsed into the childhood practice of sucking suckers. Since the store opened, the little balls of bright colored candy on a stick have been going fast. Not a day passes that you don’t see dozens of students roaming around with a little white stick protruding from their lips In the morning and at lunch hour the store is besieged by groping hands with pennies ready to trade them for gooey pieces of red, green, and yellow balls of candy. Now if you hear a gurgling noise at the beginning of class, you will know someone is trying to get the beet out of a perfectly good sucker before he has to put it in the waste basket. An alternative to throwing the sucker away Is to wrap It up and eat sucker, paper and all for a short while thereafter. Now that suckers are coming into common use, they seem to grow in the mouth and It seems that in spite of all that Is done when it Is one’s own mouth, one cannot remember to remove them in the presence of teach ers. This soon leads to various com plications. So the saying, "An apple READING MATERIALS For ttie Family Magazines Newspapers Funnies Current Issues of the lat est publications, always on hand.

M. Douglas for his cooperation and help in pro mulgating the literary efforts of the high school students to the vast aud ience of his subscribers. Without his permission to use a portion of the Transylvania Times, the circulation of these editorials, features, news Items, and poems would be limited to a chosen few. Mr. Douglas’ aid has been invaluable throughout the school year, and we are greatly Indebted to him for his kindness. We are equally indebted to Mr. \ r Clement for the Incentive he has given the students by offering a the atre pass to. the writer of the best unsolicited article each week. There was constantly an atmosphere of friend ly competition in the air during the school year, and many unsolicited art icles were handed in with marks of real merit. Mr. Clement has done the student body of Brevard high school a real service. —§—B H—8— EXOV8E8 By VHank” Carland One thing the students of B. H. S. have learned to do I'm sure of and that is thinking up and using a vari ety of excuses. Most of us are so good at this “art” that we have almost strained our imagination. But don't think that Mr. Kimzey isn't wise. There are only a few of these excuses that go to his office that ever come out with his O. K. on them. Some that didn’t get by: Mr. Kimzey, please excuse Jack for being absent yesterday, as he had to help me plant my mazda bulbs (light bulbs). Mr. Kimzey please excuse Dick as he had to gather our peanut crop and I cannot climb trees. Willie was absent yesterday because he read a sign on the way to school which read. "School—Go Slow.” Please excuse Bob’s tardiness yester day as we are trying out a new silent alarm clock. P. S. It works. Please excuse Omar today as his great, great, grandpa has Just died and he must be there to see him. John was absent because he has “stumpulation” of the big toe. Please excuse Horace the 6th per iod as he will be sick in bed. Please excuse Elmer due to having a bad cold. Please excuse Tom the seventh per iod as I need him to help me at home. Please excuse Harold for not hav ing his algebra as his father was out of town. —8—B H—8— WHEN GRANDMA WA8 YOUNG By Maude Alexander When Grandma was a youthful miss, She didn’t paint her face; She never smoked a cigarette Because^ she knew her place. When Grandma was a youthful miss Way back in eighty-seven, She didn’t do a lot of things To keep her out of heaven. When Grandma was a youthful miss, She didn’t roll her socks; She didn’t dance the Charleston And never bobbed her locks. When Grandma was a youthful miss, These things she didn’t do somehow; But, If she didn’t do them then, Why does she do them now? —§—B H—J— AUDIENCE HAD ENJOYABLE TIME AT “NEW FIRES" By Robert J. Huggins Friday night. May 3rd, a responsive Brevard audience hailed the senior class play, “New Fires”, as a success. The cast topped several weeks of rehears als under Mrs. DeLong with a fine performance. Despite failure of the auditorium lights and the accidental destruction of an antique oil lamp on the stage, the well trained characters carried on in the best tradition to de fray graduation expenses and purchase new athletic equipment for the coming year. The director and cast wish to ex tend appreciation to the persons who furnished "props” and costumes for the play or cooperated in any way toward making the production a success. Notice To Public-] Uniform Charge for Red Cap Porter Service In order to Improve and standardize Red Cap ser vice to the public, the Southern Railway Company announces that effective May 1, 1940, it will make a flat charge of 10 cents for each bag or parcel car ried upon request of owner at Southern Railway Passenger Station, Asheville and Biltraore, N. C. This will place the porter service upon the same basis, with reference to uniform price, as now prevails in the par cel room and locker service. By thus substituting a fixed payment plan for the custom of tipping, with its accompanying irregular ities in the amounts paid, the Southern Railway Comp any will be able to place its Red Caps on a uniform wage basis. In addition, the new plan will eliminate controversies and legal complications which have arisen under recent federal legislation regarding the status of Red Caps as employees and the status of tips as compensation for their work.

Lonnie Jones was elected president; Paul Simpson, vice-president; Dick Hamlin, secretary and treasurer; and Pat Hamlin, reporter. A. J. Parker was chosen as watch-dog. Ell Allison and Pat Hamlin were elected as the co-captalns of next year’s football team.

"An unusual occupation” for Eliza beth Brown is being mad with Ross W. and we are wondering just what she did when Ross came to see her one night. "Stranger than fiction" is the gossip which says "Snooks" L. had a spat with Alva S. This is leap year, you know, and everything is turned around. But we can guess there were love licks from a “cave-woman." Blue (?) as the Danube iB the uni que impression Doug W. gives us since J. Hardin left him to . . . (guess who) at the band picnic. “Believe it or not—W.

E. YORK, W. M. HENRY HENDERSON, Sec’y a blonde, in Hendersonville. And he was sleepy one Monday, too. Wonder why? New romance In the air. Or Is It new? Richard F. left glee club prac tice one day to go see about her. Have you noticed how well Richard Orr and Ethel Tankersley get along? “We the people Speak”. They really do. Well, Thelma D., what’s happened to that spell you used to cast over Har old S. Maybe M. stole your formula. Why doesn’t somebody ask Willoree if she had to crank Hershall's car Fri day night? Anyway, we can bet they had a good time at the play too. Pat Hamlin was in church on Sun day night. Imagine that! And—brace yourselves—he Is going to start a re vival tonight at East Fork. Preacher Garre n, we fear—we greatly fear— (Ahem) that you have some keen competition. Pflvmnnii couldn't find Virginia H. at the play, he was wor ried—take from "we the people”. Not that he would go that way. Oh, no, but he was klnda keeping his weather eye open. Mary A. has got Robert tied to her apron strings. Imagine her not let ting him smoke his own “two for a nickel” cigar. Can It be that “we the people” were wrong? If you had asked us yesterday j we would have said, "Never”. But It's Mary Mae who Is Johnny V.’s new heart beat. Robert May, why don’t you go up to the beauty parlor and get a Job. We know you’ve experimented on Bon nie’s hair enough In chemistry. Mrs. Wlke thinks it’s wonderful— simply wonderful—that David Franklin bought a sucker for her. She hasn’t had one since her high school days back in 1492, she says. How hout that? Who’s the owner of the nice looking car, Helen G., and Lottie Mae T.? Ted M., did you and Annette enjoy the play? Nice going, Ted. But where did you get to afterwards, she would like to know. Beware of bridges Buddy W., espec ially with borrowed cars and Kat Mc Crary. “Now the play Is over”. But not the romance. They were pretty well matched, don’t you think? Perfect part for Jean and “Guts”. “School days, school days; dear old golden-rule days” They are almost gone, so you won’t see any more "Here and There’s” ’till next year. And (maybe) your “We the people” re porter will be gone but not forgotten, we hope. Card of Thanks We thank our dear friends and rela tives for the kindness they have shown us during the illness and at the death of our dear mother. Montieth Family.
