If you can look for the good in a person and comment about good qualities—then someone may follow the example, or may be encouraged to do better work. Have you helped someone to day?

Games and contests were enjoyed, after which Hallowe’en candies and apples were served.

The longest run of the game was made by Bobby Dukes who carried the “pigskin” eighty-three yards for a touch down. This was only one of many long runs of the gaiqg»v Our team worked together. The line, too, was playing a high grade of football and letting the Iva boys get away with nothing. The Iva team made very few first downs against this forward wall. The Panthers will play Bates- burg-Leestfllle a return match here in McCormick. This should be a good game as bo^h, teams are evenly matched. The Panthers were the victors in the first game by the score of 13- 6. Chapel For chapel Monday, October 30, we had an unexpected, yet wel comed, guest to speak to us. Gray- don Dukes, U. S. N. R., a former student of our school, was home from the University of South Car olina. He gave us a good talk and I’m sure that the student body was benefitted by his visit. It was a real treat to have this popular person come to our chapel. Items Of Intent Cliff Fleming, Herman Jen nings, and Luhter Ferqueron vis ited in the school this week. The reforestation men brought a movie to the high school Thurs day afternoon. The grammar school children came too, and we enjoyed the instructive movie. This was the first time that both schools have been together, and we’d like to commend the gram mar school on the orderly way they entered our building. We’re happy to have Virginia Smith return to school after havt ing an appendix operation. J. H. A. The McCormick Junior Home Economics Association met Friday morning, November 3rd, in the high school auditorium. The program was centered a- round the initiation of the girls taking Home Economics for the first time. We all enjoyed the combinations the girls were wear ing—those pink blouses with red skirts, high heel shoes and anklets, weeds in their hair—even some carried dolls. You should have heard the pro posals, the melodious duets and the radio announcements. It was all fun and to complete the program delicious refresh ments were served by the hostess es, Betty Edmonds and Elizabeth Brown. Home Economic News The Home Economic girls have really been working to improve the appearance of their room. New curtains have been hung, the ta bles have been covered with lino leum, making the room more home-like and attractive. A number of additional books have been added to the collection of referfence books. The second year girls are begin ning to see how well they can learn to sew. They are making pajamas while the first year girls are learning how to render “First Aid” properly. Beginning November 8th the home economics room will be o- jpened each Wednesday afternoon j for the use of the public. Anyone desiring to use the equipment here is welcome to come. The Home Economics teacher will be there to offer her service. Watch this column for an announcement so you may come to the interest ing and helpful demonstrations that Miss Rucker is planning for the public. ^ X T. E. L.
