EXAMINATIONS.
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.”

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 :

BE A BOOSTER.
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

height in the Cuban capital when the
Southern farm champions arrive and
several functions are being arranged
in their honor. Official invitations

Owing to the importance of cot
ton in Southern agriculture, much in
