We have reviewed, talked and thought about examinations for the past week and they are here at last. Some are glad and some are sorry. Those who have studied for the past term are glad for they will not have much studying to do. Those who have not stud ; ed are very sorry be cause they will have to work ex tremely hard in order to pass. Oth ers are glad because they will have only one examination a day and can devote all their time to that one sub ject. But whether we are glad or sorry, we all hope to pass and make a good mark on each examination. Practically all high school students will have a holiday because we are carrying only four subjects and we devote a whole week to our examina- tons. ( RUTH CARTLEDGE. SERIOUSLY ILL. The many friends of ’Catherine Hildebran, a popular fifth grade stu dent, are sorry that she is very sick in the Children’s Hospital in Au gusta. Soinetime last year Cather ine underwent an operation for ap pendicitis. So grave was her trouble that the wound has- never entirely* healed and it became necessary that she have another operation. Recent ly she has had a third operation and her condition is still very serious. However we hope that with the sk^H Weather Bureau reports:—for that t’me Alabama 4 degrees above zero in January.. Arkansas 3 degrees below zero in December. Georgia 4 degrees above zero in January. , Iktississippi 6 degrees above zero in January. Louisiana 10 degrees above zero to be electecl for a term of six years, in January. South Carolina 2 degrees above zero in January. Tennessee 3 degrees above zero in January. Texas 3 degrees above zero in De cember. Oklahoma 0 (zero) in December. Continuing the report says, “It is strange that the recent cold wave was hearalded as -the coldest weath er in ten years. No reported tem peratures this winter have been be low the temperatures of last winter except in occassional instances, and the emergence of boll weevils last spring was sufficient to cause severe damage to the crop. With the ex ception of the late cold wave the cotton belt has experienced an ex ceptionally mild fall and winter, all of which is most assuredly conducive to heavy emergence.” ' -—***- — , Crop Growing Champions Get Trip To Florida Crop growing champions of nuie- Southem states win be given a trip . . . . to Florida and Cuba next month as fnl care of her doctor, aad imr.es ^ ^ Chilean' Nitrate of and with her .own spirit of determ- 5,.. - _. .. „ and with her .own spirit inatioq Catherine will prove victor ious in her battle for life and health BASKETBALL; ‘ The boys and girls are still work ing in basketball practice. The girls havfe recently selected a first and a second team and competition is strong. In order to hold her place on first team, each girl must con tinually prove herself superior te the girl playing in the same posi tion on second team, and those on second team must work to keep an “ektra” from taking her place. Everybody comes out for practice regularly and an enthusiastic spirit seems to pervade the court more of ten than here-to-fore. With Catherine Bussey as captain, those on the two teams are as fol lows : First Team Jumping Center, Catherine Bussey. Running Center, Ella R. Buchanan. Guards, Louise Ryan, Blanch Wil kie.

The following poem, which was enjoyed in chapel last Friday morn ing, might be appreciated by curt parents and friends who could not hear it in chapel but can read it in the Messenger: “If you think your school the best, tell' em so! If you’d have it lead the rest, help it grow! When there’s anything to do, let them always count on you, You'll feel good when it is through, don’t you know? “If you’re used to giving knocks, change your style; 4 Throw bouquets instead of rocks for awhile. , Boost your teacher and your school; Knock the knocker off his stool. Lift the stumbler from the pool— with a smile. “When a stranger from afar comes along. Tell him who and what you are— make it strong. Never flatter, never bluff, Tell the truth for that’s enough. Be a booster, that’s the stuff, don’t just belong.” goda Educational Bureau. From thirty to foity farmers who have ^ won first prizes within the past year ■to official cotton and corn contests m their respective states and a cer tain number of - agricultural officials will comprise the party. All of the farmers used- nitrate of soda in fert ilizing their crops The trip will begin at Jacksonville, Florida, during the first week of February. From there the champions will go to Cuba, later returning to Florida for inspection of commercial truck gardens and citrus groves. ’The winter season -wilt be at its height in the Cuban capital when the Southern farm champions arrive and several functions are being arranged in their honor. Official invitations have been extended to the party by the President of Cuba and the Gov ernor of Florida. Owing to the importance of cot ton in Southern agriculture, much in terest is being manifested in Cuba in the forthcoming visit of the cot ton champions. In addition to adult winners of cotton and corn contests, outstanding students of Smith- Hughes Agriculture schools or 4-H Agricultural Clubs who have excell ed in their farm projects will make the trip. As now planned the number of representatives from each state is as follows: j South Carolina 5 Georgia __ 3 Florida —^ 1 Alabama — 4 Tennessee —. r 4 Arkansas 4 Mississippi 3 Louisiana J < 2 Texas 5 One of the members of the party will be M 5 ss Ruby Lee Williams of Nacogdoches, Texas, seventeer-year- old daughter of a Texas tenant far mer, who produced 3 bales of cotton on one acre in her agricultural chib work. She will be accompanied by Miss Elga Daniels, also of Nacog doches, who attracted nation-wide at tention last year by producing 2 1-2 bales of cotton on one acre. B. R. Smith of Johnston, Soyth Carolina, who was on the Chilean Nitrate of Soda Educational tour last year as a result of his high cot ton yields will be a member of the party again this year. He won the corn championship of his state with a corn production of 501 1-2 bushels on five acres. The trip to Florida and Cuba is expected to consump about tou duvs Special honors will be paid the champions in some states before they leave their homes to join the Chilean Nitrate of Soda Educational tour.
