VOLUME XIV
THIS, THAT, &
THE OTHER
MRS. THEO. B. DAVIS
Granting that a good many per
sons will enjoy the commence
ment at Wakelon this year, I am
fairly certain that the ones who 11
have most pleasure in the occa
sion will be the former graduates
who come back for the reunion
scheduled for the afternoon of
commencement day. They 11 have
most to talk about; they’ll be
proudest of all the improvements
and enlargements; most hopeful
for the future; and will be ex
ceeded in pride in the seniors only
by the immediate families of class
members. Which is all as it
should be.
I hope if any alumnus has a
picture of his class in any grade
he will bring it along. Nothing
could be more interesting. For the
past two weeks I have enjoyed
looking again and again at a pic
ture of a fifth grade taught at
Wakelon by Miss Julia Staples
twenty-three years ago. In the
group are Vida Bell, Fannie Lou
Wiggs, Thelma Clark, Foy Whit
ley, Elsie Horton, Inez Horton,
Helen Horton, Mary Bunn, Myrtle
Jones, and many more. Mozelle
Robertson is there and her young
est sister, Louise, seeing the pho
tograph, asked to be allowed to
borrow it to show to Mozelle’s hus
band. She said she is sure he will
enjoy seeing it, even if Mozelle
wouldn’t. Edgar and Ruth Pad
gett are in the picture, as are Es
telle Chamblee, Lois Gettys, and
Charlie Batts. Staley Denton is
on the front row, and so is Cham
blee Wheless with his tongue
stuck out. Wallace Chamblee and
Sam Harris are sitting on the win
dow ledge with some others I can’t
recognize. My daughter is among
the rest, and when she was look
ifie at the picture Sunday she ex
claimed, “Look at Channie Whit
ley, with his sweater on top of his
coat—and shorter! It always
looked funny, but he did love to
wear it that way.” In a minute
she began laughing again and said
it was because seeing Douglas
Bain in the group reminded her of
the time they were coming from
school and he climbed a tree to get
b#r some mistletoe. She waited on
the ground—and waited. At last
Douglas called down and told her
sha’d better go on home and he’d
bring her the mistletoe next day.
He explained that he had tom his

Small Fire, Big
Excitement
Tuesday morning was a quiet,
dull time in town till the fire
siren sent out its wild screech.
People seemed to appear from no
where and run and ride towards
the oil mill where a black smoke
rolled skyward. The editor got in
his car, picked up a colored man
who was sure it was his home
burning up (he had just taken a
dram of high smelling liquor
which may have accounted for his
certainty), and soon we were
among a hundred others standing
gazing at Floyd Pearce’s wash
house at the Alex Carter place.
Soon the small house was a
blackened, charred frame wdth
smoke and steam rolling from the
ruins. Mrs. Phelps’ home on one
side and the Carter house on the
other w T ere both in grave danger
had it not been for the quick an
swer of the fire department. The
side of one was blackened and the
roof of the other blazed, but no
great damage was done to either.
The fire Is supposed to have ori
ginated from a sack which caught
fire near the wash pot.
Many, farmers from the country
hurried in and many visitors in
town along with the business peo
ple of the town almost made a cir
cus crowd in size. The house
must have been built of light
wood; blacker smoke is seldom
seen from a burning building.

Wakelon Needs
Twelfth Grade
(The following article was con
tributed by Dr. L. M. Massey,
chairman of the County Board of
Elections as well as of the local
school board. We are glad to give
space to a discussion of a topic so
vital to community progress.
—Editor.)
If we do in this community what
l is expecterd of us for our high
school children a twelfth grade is
a necessity. Many of our girls and
boys can’t go to college. Many of
them are too immature and too
young to secure worth while jobs
when they finish high school. An
other year of definite training in
high school will give many of them
the needed chance for security.
Many of our eleventh grade grad
uates, who can go to college, need
another year in high school for
same reason that they are too im
mature for college work.
The high school period is one of
the most important periods in the
life of a child. He usually enters
the high school at the adolescent
age, and sometimes gets out of
high school before his emotions
and ideals are settled. He is sent
away to college when he needs the
guidance, direction, and discipline
of parents and sympathetic high
school teachers. We owe it to our
. children in this community to give
them this extra year of opportuni
ty for growth and maturity so that
they will be better seasoned and
better fitted to meet the strenuous
life of college or job.
The local cost is small; fifteen
cents on the one-hundred dollars,
one dollar and fifty cents on a
thousand. Our local interest in the
school will be keenly enhanced by
making this small increase in ex
penditure.
We have no motive in this mat
ter, except the real need involved
and a real desire to make the
school do all it can for the child
ren of this community. Our child
ren have a right to expect the best
training that a community can give
them. In the light of our interests
in our children we believe that we

moving picture to be presented by
Little River Ice Co. at Wakelon*
Theatre on April 26 promises to
fill all expectations for entertain
ment and instruction. Tickets may
be had upon application to the of
fice of the Ice Co. or at City Mar
ket. Look over the full page ad of
Little River Ice Co. in this paper
this week; study the advantages
offered by a Coolerator; and, if
preferred ask for a free trial of
one in your home. When you dis
cover for yourself how perfectly
foods and milk are kept; how free
from all odors the interior of the
Coolerator stays; how easily it is
kept clean; how low the ice
charges are in proportion to the
size of .the ice container; you will
be persuaded that ice refrigeration
has been brought to the highest
efficiency and that a Coolerator if
a fine investment.
