C. .I"-—a, 1 McCormick High School News CHAPEL PROGRAM A very interesting program was given in chapel Friday morning, November 7, by a few members of the ninth grade. The play was entitled: “The Cen sus Taking.” An old woman who was deaf was answering questions asked by the census taker. Nearly every ques tion was misunderstood, and some of the answers were very funny. The characters were: A deaf old lady—Lois Arrington. Census taker—Julian Reames. Directed by Miss McCord. Sarah Walker read a few verses of the first Psalm and led the aud ience in the Lord’s Prayer. MR. PRESSLY IN CHAPEL. Mr. Pressly brought us the last of his great lessons on Concentra tion and Memory last Wednesday, November 5th. After he had read parts of the 119th Psalm he led the student body in prayer. Last time he talked oft Concentration and this time it was Memory. We We are in school to accomplish things. If we could concentrate on one thing for only one minute we should accomplish wonders. Dr. E. L. Patten, one of the greatest men of the Universities, said that were the Bible lost he had studied the book so until he would attempt to give it back to the world. The three drawbacks to the Memory work is laziness, absent-mindness and forgetfulness. Learn to Con centrate and control that will. M. LYON. COMMERCIAL CLUB. The commercial club held its regular meeting on Thursday, No vember 6th. After the meeting was called to order the following pro gram was carried out: Office Training in Senior High School—Helen Brown. The Art of Typewriting—Kath leen Hollingsworth. Jokes—Jack Coleman.

The boys in the agricultural classes have been studying cotton marketing for the past few weeks. They have become familiar with the different grades and staples and the difference in prices of each one. Several of the boys have bad cotton classed by the govern ment grader in Columbia. This man is under the supervision of the state warehouse commissioner and is rendering a valuable serviop to the farmers of this state. Our representative to state F. P. F. Camp reports a very interesting and helpful trip. J. H. Mayson went from this school and was in Columbia during the State Fair week. The camp itself was within the grounds of the fair, and every agricultural exhibit and project of interest was visited by the boys. About 130 boys from all parts of the state were there and each one went away feeling that they were better off after attending it. One section of the agricultural classes will have charge of chapel next time. A short program of ag ricultural numbers will be given. MODERN VERSE. We have only to look around to see that we have • rising young poets right here in our midst. Here are two more poems by 2 members of Miss Ligon’s seventh grade Eng lish Class. A Butterfly Look! What do I see? ’Tis not a bird, ’tis not a bee, It is a beautiful butterfly It soars and soars away up high. I Very gracefully it comes down And lights upon a petalled mound. It gathers nectar from each tiny flower, But quickly vanishes with a show er. —JOHN NIXON TALBERT. The Violet Down in the grass under a shady tree This dainty flower I could see; Its stem was bent and hung its head, While it was sleeping in its bed. —LOIS McCOMB. DU) YOU HEAR THAT—r >. Miss. Ramsey forgot to smile when the agriculture teacher came in view? Miss Johnston didn’t know what a quadratic was? Mr. McCrorey was not liked by all his agriculture boys? Miss McCord didn’t laugh? Miss Reid didn’t give long les sons? Miss Corbin didn’t give any class work? Miss Kennedy let us “loaf” in class? Miss Bowles forgot to make an assignment? Mr. Lake never made chapel talks? Well, if you did, somebody was just kidding you. BORROWING AND LENDING. We had an argument with some friends the other night on the sub ject of borrowing and lending. One man held that it was always the duty of one who had money to lend to a friend who needed it. He said the needy friend had the right to demand it, and if it were re fused he was justified in feeling that he had been wronged. We couldn’t agree with him all way. It is pleasant to be abl^ to help a friend but if there are two men with equal opportunities and if one works hard and saves while the other wastes himself and his money, why should the saver be made to suffer for his friend’s im providence? Johnny works hard and saves his money so that he may be independent. He doesn’t work in order that Sammy may loaf and squander—and then de mand a share of Johnny. Of course if Sammy is a worker and no wast er and meets with misfortune, then Johnny, if he is any sort of fellow, will help out generously. But the man .who claims that because Johnny has saved he is obligated to lend his savings to the first friend who fancies he needs them —well, he is just plain mistaken. JOKES.

The alert Red Cap, ever ready to assist offered to hold one of the babies. When she had purchased the ticket she took the baby. Aren’t those twins? asked the Red Cap, in an embarrassed voice. Yes, replied the woman, they were born on elec tion day. I named one of them Smith and the other Hoover. Well, replied the Red Cap, I guess I was holding Smith.

X-5 Many dairy farmers can not af ford to own a purebred buF indi vidually, but every one can afford to have the use of a good bull through a co-operative bull asso ciation. Members of such an asso ciation are usally divided into three or more groups of neighboring far mers, each group being known as a block. A block may consist of one or more herds and may include from 50 to 75 cows. One bull is as signed to a block, and is moved to another block every two years in order to prevent inbreeding. You can get further information about co-operative bull associations from your State agricultural college or from the Bureau of Dairy Industry, Department of Agriculture, Wash ington, D. C.

Needy On Thanksgiving Day CHIEF EXECUTIVE SATS NATION HAS MANY CAUSES FOR THANKSGIVING WASHINGTON, Nov. 7.—Presi- dent Hoover today called upon the people of the United States to ob serve Thanksgiving Day by ex tending aid to those who are in need and suffering from causes be yond their control. In his annual Thanksgiving Day proclamation, the chief executive said this country has many causes for Thanksgiving. He added that as a nation “we have suffered far less than other peoples from the present world difficulties.” His proclamation follows: “By the president of the United States, a proclamation. “Notwithstanding that our fore fathers endured the hardships and privations of a primitive life, sur rounded by dangers and solaced only with meagre comforts, they nevertheless bequeathed to us a custom of devoting one day of every year to universal Thanks giving to Almighty God for the blessing of life itself and the means to sustain it, for the sanct uary of home and the joys that pervade it, and for the mercies of his protection from accident, sickness, or death. “Our country has many causes for thanksgiving. We have been blest with distinctive evidence of Divine favor. As a nation we have suffered far less than other peo ples from the present world diffi culties. We have been free from civil and industrial discord. The outlook for peace between nations has been strengthened. In a large view we have made progress upon the enduring structure of our in stitutions. The arts and sciences that enrich our lives and enlarge our control of nature have made notable advances. Education has been further extended. We have made gains in the prevention of disease and in the protection of childhood. “Now, therefore, I, Herbert Hoo ver, president of the United States of America, do hereby designate Thursday, November 27, 1930, as a national day of Thanksgiving and do enjoin the people of the United States so to observe it, calling upon them to remember that many of our people are in need and suffer ing from causes beyond their con trol, and suggesting that a proper celebration of the day should in clude that we made sure that every person in the community, young and old, shall have cause to give thanks for our institutions and for the neighborly sentiments of our people. “In witness whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and caused to be affixed the seal of the United States. “Done at the city of Washington, this sixth day of November in the year of our Lord 1930, of the inde pendence of the U?dted States of America, the 155th«?
