Telephone 154 TO A FRIEND Acquaintances come casually, Companionship comes by chance, But friendship springs from richer soil Than that of circumstances. Acquaintance is a thing of words, Of idle phrase and touch, - But friendship always understands Without my talking much. Acquaintances will soon forget And lovers soon grow cold, But real friends care just as much friendship has grown old. So share with me my bread of dreams And changeless to the end, Remain that rare and precious thing That I can call my friend.

ETIQUETTE By MISS FLO Dear Miss Flo: Should a gentleman precede or follow a lady when enter ing and when leaving a restaurant? (2) When a man meets a woman by chance in a car, is it good form for him to pay her fare? (3) la it neces sary for a remove his hat in an elevator? I have heard dif ferent opinions in regard to it. Than* you.. Hi .F. The lady precedes the gentleman entering and leaving a restau- lant. (2) Some men insist upon pay ing the fare of a woman whom they meet by chance in a car, which is quite proper. However, he is not un der obligation to do so vnlcss he wishes. (3) The question of whether or not a gentleman removes his hat in an elevator has long been debateu. Some argue that an elevator is in the same class as a room, while others say that it is in the class of the street. However, all etiquette author ities regard the elevator as a small room,^inasmuch as it has a ceiling, and the courteous ^nan should remove his hat—especially while there are women in it. Ir the gentleman wisl.- es—and there are no ladies in the car —he may remove his hat upon enter ing the car, and immediately replace it. Dear Miss Flo: Is there any set rule in regawl to what side of an automobile a lady should take when accompanied by an escort? (2) In stepping from the car, should the lady wait for the gentleman to leave the car? S. E. There is no rule as to which side the lady occupies in a car., She en ters the car first, and takes the seat furtherest away, whether it is the right or left. (2) When leaving the car, the lady waits for the gentleman to lead the way in order that he may assist her. Dear Miss Flo: When introducing a lady and gentleman, is it necessary for the lady who is making the intro duction to arise? (2) Should the gentleman or the lady, upon being in troduced the second time, recall the first introduction? (3) When a young married woman is being introduced to an older woman, whom she has al ready met, should she recall the first introduction or wait for the older we man to mention it? D. S. A person making an introduction should arise. (2) The gentleman should recall the previous introduc tion. He might say, “I believe I have had the pleasure of meeting Miss at Mrs. Brown’s reception. (3)It is the duty of the younger woman to re call the former introduction. She might say, “I have met Mrs. Brown.” Dr. Felder Smith Dr. E.

Phone 101 > : ( Crimson Tornado Sweeps Newberry Hi (Contributed) Those strife-scarred, undying tra ditions of Clinton Hi brought them to a 21 to 0 triumph over Newberry on Brown field Thanksgiving day and wound up a most successful season in a manner befitting the day, that of Thanksgiving. And now that the boys have completed these months of toil they have before them the temp- tions of a host of good feeds. Clinton won because its spirit never faltered, because it grinned at frown ing barriers and went through. Out played was Newberry. They were out kicked and out passed. Neighbors booted his way to the loftiest heights his toe has ever led him. Claude Trammell left Newberry dizzy with his crafty timing of aerial shots. Once his unerring aim brought a touch down to the Crimson Tornado. A 25- yard whirl to Hugh Brown scored for them in the second canto. But it was the Crimson Tornado’s defense which stripped the laurel tree to adorn Gus Blakely, Clifton Adair, McIn tosh, and all the. rest. Trammell hSs climbed to the crux many times in the past to bring back decorations from gridiron gods. His other up ward journeys were trips to the crest of a; molehill. This day he reached who battled -as did the son of-Clin- ton Thanksgiving day. They might as well have attempted to dig up Lake Superior with a jug as to move with Trammell blocking the line. If victory lay behind, Clinton would have walked bouyantly across gleaming hot ploughshares in hell, had Jodie Hollis told them to. New berry came with line plunges as its theme, but the drive crumpled against the Red and White barrier. Summers was stopped and with Summers stop ped Newberry was stopped. Trammell and Blakely alternating in carrying, crushed their way down to Newberry’s one-foot line where Trammell walked through tackle for a touchdown in the last period. Neighbors place-kicked for the extra point. Clinton scored their other touchdown in the third period wh?n Blakely rushed around end for 25 yards on crossing the goal. THANKSGIVING PROGRAM AT HIGH SCHOOL The usual chapel exercises of the Clinton high school were held in the auditorioim Friday morning, Novem ber 28th. The following Thanksgiv ing program was carried out: Song—“America the Beautiful.” Scripture Reading and Prayer. “Origin of.Our American Thanks giving,” Janella Boland. “The President's Proclamation,” Isaac Copeland. , ' “The Governor’s Proclamation,” by Bolt Bobo. Reading: “The First Thanksgiv ing,” Emma Little. Piano Solo—Janette Crawford. Reading: “How We May Be Thank ful on Thanksgiving Day,” Mary Todd. Song: “Carry Me Back to Old Vir- ginny.” Uncle Jahn My Aunty Flapper’s caught the craze to pattern after youthful ways; she loves the girlish paces. . . Her painted jowls defies the stage—be sides her other camouflage, in various other places. She never does a thing by halves, an’ so displays her fatted calves with native erudition. . . Shtf spends a lot fer fancy hose—till every skinny neighbor knows she banters in discretion! I couldn’t say her wealth of bust was somethin’ to excite dis gust in any whiskered artist. In fact I wouldn’t sign my name to any dope that carries blame to one who looks her smartest. “This world is all a fleetin’ show”—our transient natur’ makes it so,—we’re all averse to sor row, and, while we can’t guess Aunty’s age, because of that-air camouflage—she may be gone tomor row! And while she travels with a zip, I reckon we should let her rip. with girly-girly unction. . . My heirs can’t throw much dust at me, if I prove good an’ pure as she, when I have ceased to function.
