HONOR THY FATHER AND THY MOTHER "Honor thy father and thy moth er" is one of the commandments God gave to the world, yet how often do we break it. Probably when we are not aware of the fact. Our whole lives are either an honor or a dis honor to our parents. The failure or success of our lives are not always due to our parents, but in the eyes of the world our ac tions reflect on our parents. Life is what we make it. We inherit traits both of body and character from our parents, and we- are proud of the fact, but we are born with a will power so it is up to us to do honer to our fathers and mothers. Naturally when people see us their minds wander to our parents and home. Are we an honor or dishonor to them? If we will but ask our selves this question and ponder well our words and actions to see whether Or not our parents will be honored by them we will not commit so many rash acts or say so many words that we ever afterward regret. More often in school life than any other walk it seems our parents are judged by what we do. If we do not do our work well and consistently people say we have not had proper training at home. When nine times out of ten we have failed to make use of the training we have had. If we are a spendthrift they say our fathers and mothers are not wise in allowing us to be so wasteful. There is not a true father or moth er who would purposely give their children advice that would lead them astray. The fact that the world judges our parents by the lives we live is a condition we cannot remedy. So it is up to us to see that our lives bring honor instead of reproach to them. : UY A FORD AND SPEND THE DIFFERENCE. B. B. DOGGETT. DONKEYS "v —- Donkeys are four-footed vetra brates; they consist of ears, vicious ness, stubbornness and kick—mostly kick. Donkeys are very much like peo ple; if you put several to working to gether, part of them will be balking or pulling the wrong way. If a don key balks there is no use to beat him and try to make him go and if you pet or coax him it makes him worse. The best thing to do is just to leave him alone and pretty soon he will get ashamed of himself and come along. Donkeys are like the girls of R. H. A.; they are good kickers. They wind up and then unroll with such velo'city that they can kick the hair off a bald-headed man and make a fellow see stars in the day time. Donkeys have large ears and they stand out from their heads just like Henry Warlick's, and look somewhat like his. ♦ Donkeys are as stubborn as Prof. Prickett and just as hard to manage. Donkeys don't talk; they sing. They make a noise just exactly like Prof. Walker. No wonder Samson killed so many men with the jaw bone of one. Hugh Hemphill, 10th grade.
