♦ ! COOL SPRINGS BUBBLES ♦ (By Writers Club of C. S. H. S.) Chance of Name With this issue of the paper the j Writer's Club has changed the i name of our N&v.s section to Cool , Springs Bubbles," in keeping with: the name selected some weeks ago. in a contest. Let me explain why the name I "Cool Springs Bubbles." The name! Cool Springs is a jokfi on our school, j because there are no springs here j any more than there are Boiling j Springs at our 'red-hot opposites. There must be a spring somewhere, so I decided it must be the spring of school life, with the students as "tadpoles." Oyer the jra nijg ui 1 waters of the regular curriculum there float some news bubbles; bub bles of mirth, etc. Along comes one of the sophisticated-looking "tad-poles," known as a member of j the Writers' Club, who gathers in these bubbles for publication. Hence j the name "Cool Springs Bubbles." j Hereafter, we shall extend our i writing over phases of writing other I than mere happenings: we shall in- ' elude materials created by our own genius; the substances of lengthy j discussions', corrected and revised amateurs at the real stuff. Please ; send all criticisms to the Writers Club. *** . i Dr. Gillespie Talks in Chapel The boys and girls of Cool ] Springs High school were entertain-: ed last Wednesday afternoon, Feb-1 ruary 22, by a talk by Dr. Gillespie. ; He talked of our Influence. All of' us were greatly impressed and hope ' we will be fortunate enough to, hear him again. \ * £ * ' Miss Wilder's Return i Chapel held a new interest for the j student body last Wednesday as the; song was announced in a familiar | y- GENERAL —goes a long n ay to make friends S Balloon f Dual Grip The Tread Two Years Ahead General's Balloon Tread is the leader in the latest principle of balloon design.

It was Miss Wilder, back from her long sorjourn in a white bed, and you knew we were glad to have her back. I can't count the number of times I've heard students say: "My, I never knew how much I really did like Miss Wilder, until she left!" But she's back again and back to stay we hope, for all of us have missed her * i * "Once to Every Man" One of my teeth is growling—lt is painful— l decide I can get along without it—l go to the Dentist's of fice My courage fails as the nurse greets roe' —I ask to see the dentist He hasn't come yet, I am informed — I make an appointment for 3 p. m.

I decide the logical thing to do is stay out ot school. This I do. The town clock strikes once. It is 1 o'clock, or thereabouts. I walk the streets. I build air castles in the air in an effort to forget the inevitable. The castles tumble in the dust. Time flies —the town clock strikes I'm in greater agony. I cease my walking and turn to a victrola tor consolement. The music does not ease the awful pain. lam resigned to my fate. At ten minutes of three. I start my march to my doom. I am a Martyr to a lost cause. Halfway I THE FOREST CfTY COURIER, THURSDAY, MARCH 1, 3928 I think how great men would face the j ordeal. My hopes rise, a decision I j that if Lincoln could stand it, so' ' could I. ; I arrive. The dentist is busy. I i sit down. Reach over to a table;' take a magazine; look through it j about six times; place it back on the l table; and pick up another; the j grind of the dentist's drill reaches! my ears. I feel faint. It is un- j comfortably hot. I move to a win-. dow. Now its my turn. I w&lk slowly j through the door, as a murderer j would to the death chamber.. I seat j myself in the chair. There's a silver lining in every j cloud. I realize that I will have one i tooth less to wash. lam ready. The dentist lays his tools on a. stand before me. lam shaking like J a leaf. I don't know why. He takes an instrument that favors a pump—only smallei*. He calls it a needle. A dose of cocaine is shot into my gums. It stings. In a mo ment my gums are numb. The dentist takes his pliers, opens my mouth. I i almost pass out. He tugs at the tooth. It is out! It is over. lam still alive. * # * A Protest Time was, when we possessed i j | desire to see someone in another i part of the building, permission was j received by continually asking the j teacher until, being worried by our ' nagging, she finally consented. We would, at her "yes" go where we J wished, unmolested. But now 'tis J not so. Here is a reproduction of j I the oft enacted process, by which; j we are enabled to escape the study | hall: j Tom: May Igo see Mary? I Teacher: Where is she? i Tom: In Miss B's room, j Teacher: Why do you want to j ;see her? Tom: Er—er —I just want —er —j He blushed at thoughts of his in- j tention of making a date with her— i George Washington's spotless life has j just been expanded to him and he' cannot tell a lie. Teacher: No—Get to studying. Tom gets a book and works for j about fifteen minutes. ! An idea comes to him and again jhe tries his luck. Tom: May I go get a History book in Mr. C's room? Teacher: Is he having class? Tom: No. Teacher: Here's your permit (a paper with his mission thereon:) Tom makes a wide detour by Miss B's room; makes his date (if Miss B allows May to speak to him); and detours back again with a book snatched along* the way. Now I ask you how can we be modern George Washingtons, as long as this state of having to have excuses keeps up? I protest!
