C. ■/ MASTER’S SALE Governor John Hammlfl of Iowa (loft) Waiter Ferro!!, exocutive secretary of the Iowa chapter of the American Automobile Association (extreme ric''t)» congratulating the Davis brothers on the establishment of a new world’s nen-metor, non-v/hesl stop automobile endurance record. I OWA state officials and civic leaders v/itnessed tho establishment of a new world’s non-metor, non-v/Iieel stop automobile endurance record recently, when Ralph and Holland Davis, brothers, brought their Model A Ford to a halt at tho cast entrance of the state capitol in Des Moines after 2/775 hours and 46 minutes of continuous driving. When Governor Hammill, standing with V/altcr Ferrell, executive secretary of the Iowa Chapter of tho American Automobile Association, gave the signal to stop, the Ford had traveled a total of 47,138.3 miles over all sorts of roads in all sorts of weather and had exceeded by 33,680 miles and more than 2,335 hours the American non-stop endur ance record which, theretofore officially recognized, was made by a much heavier car under almost ideal condi tions on the Indianapolis speedway last year. In the course of the endurance run, the car, known as “The City of Des Moines,” covered practically the entire state of Iowa. Engineers who examined the Ford at the conclusion of the run asserted that neither engine nor chassis'showed evidence of the gruelling strains to which they were sub jected during the 116 days of continuous driving. Both apparently, according to the engineers, would have been good for another 50,000 miles or more. \ r : 7 Greeir Business University, Louise And never, never let it fall; ft l McKinney said that she would not be. Maybe she wants to l^arn how to sling the dish rag instead. The other day Ruby Cothran asked Carl Winn for a recipe on how to make love.” We wonder if she wants to make some? Herman Sandifer seems to un derstand Mr. Shiflet’s lectures on demerits more than anyone else in the class. It must be that he has had more experience. Helen Burnside is very much in terested in Sam Price. Can any one give an explanation for her in terest in this young man? Thomas Talbert has been looking real lonesome this week. That is because Ludie New is not in school Emmie Mayson is thinking , training her voice. Clifton Dren- nan told her that it was real mel low—Mellow meaning rotten. Welboume Schumpert has been real busy this week writing letters to a sick person He went around asking everyone how to spell sympathize” and “dignified.” Azile Self is interested in any thing that happens in Plum Branch. We wonder why. “Ferocious,” in other words our own Elizabeth McAlister may yet become an all American star. If Billie Britt likes poetry, it is love lyrics with the country and a sweet little girl for the background. The other day William Mayson was reading from Robert Burns: “Give me a cannie hour at e’en, My arms about my dearie O: An worldly cars and worldly men, May go topsy-turvy, O.” Miss Kennedy asked him if he was thinking of fond recollections or future hopes. James Patterson is very interest ed in the partnership set in book keeping. I think he wants to find out if two can live as cheaply as one. I must close as I think that I have told you enough news for this time. A few members of my class may think that I have told too much, but anyway I hope that you have enjoyed it. Your friend, M. H. S. For we mean to be the best class of all. WHY. Why is Ab Lyon always ineligible to play ball? Why is Miss McCord wearing a diamond? Why does James Dorn go to Troy so often? By now on iy a p ar j. 0 f a d e sk, ^ Bett y Workman always And stacked away }n a room, I’m never thought of now, I guess, For once I can sit down and rest, pretty good case, To put before those that mark on my face. I’m getting pretty old now, and no one seems to pay me an heed, But still I think myself rather bold, A little encouraging is about all I need. talking? Why does Bill Dowtin always sit behind Elizabeth McAlister? Why does John Thomas McGrath like the “Hawk’s Nest” so much? Why is Herman nick-named “Sheik?” Why do James and Alleen always 0 f study French together? Why is Jack Coleman so big? Why is Jack Pipkin so little? I’m doomed. HIGH SCHOOL GIRL’S CREED. I believe as a high school girl of McCormick I should be— Joyous, courageous, and courteous, Truthful, considerate, and just Loyal and sincere in friendship. Too noble to speak ill of others, Prompt and gracious in obedience, Willing to forgive and forget, Ready to do all possible service, Quick to appreciate what is done for me, Respectful of my elders, True to the best that is within me that I may become a fihe and worthy woman. FRESHMEN We’re the freshmen of ’31, We think we’re the best under the sun; We’ll run around forever more, Thinking about who has gone be fore. There are plenty of boys in our class, And they’re always ready to sass. Randolph Puckett who’s always so funny; Calls Claude Workman his old honey. In history class we have lots of fun, Cause George always says: “I don’t know none.” Haskell, who is a good old soul; Will some day reach the blessed goal. But when we’ve left old McCor mick High, ( We’ll raise our standard to the sky. A BOOK’S OWN BIOGRAPHY (By Harvey Shiflet, Jr.) I’m open all night, I get little rest, I just don’t think it’s right, But I guess it’s for the best. I’m carried about with other books, And my speech is often repeated, My pages are composed of hooks and crooks, And my knowledge is never com pleted. I’m open all night, I’m about worn out, Since I’ve served many a year But I think I’ve put up a good • fight, And I’m sure my end is drawing near. LANIER LITERARY SOCIETY GIVES INTERESTING PROGRAM. / A very interesting program was given by the Lanier Literary Soc iety on Thursday by the members of this society. The first number on the program was the reading of the minutes and roll called by the secretary and next was the suggestion for an appropriate name and motto by the president. We enjoyed a reading “Three Liv ing Writers” by Lois Arrington and “Other Writers of the Day” by Eugenia Langley. “Modem Poetry” was given by Elsie Langley. Rand olph Puckett gave an interesting talk on a well known writer, Jack London. Special music was given by Kathryn Brown. “Passing of a Great American Humorist” by Ellen Bosdell. A debate on “Resolved: That the good old days never rival the pres ent”, was given. Affirmative: Woodrow Callison and Allen Arrington. Negative; Julian Reames and Azile Self.
