LEHMAN SENIORS SCORE SUCCESS
WITH PLAY, “THRU THE KEYHOLE”
ENTHUSIASTIC AUDIENCE AT PRODUCTION
) By VERA WHITESELL
Senior Class, Lehman High School
The Senior Class of Lehman High School scored a decided hit with its an-
nual drama, “Thru The Keyhole”, a three-act comedy, on Tuesday night.
The play was written about the ac-%
tions of seven young people and
Grandma Tierney in the Tierney home.
Among the characters were a foxy old
grandma, a charming young actress,
and an aggressive, attractive girl, who
is bent upon marrying Jim Tierney.
The other characters were interest-
ingly drawn as these. All the actors
had previous experience, most of them
having taken part in the Junior drama
“Drums in My Heart”, last year. On
Tuesday night all gave a splendid per-
formance, taking full advantage of the
humorous situations and the lively dia-
logue. :
The cast: Grandma Tierney, Jean
Zimmerman; William, the butler,
James Whitesell; Joan, the French
maid, Eleanor Rinken; Genevieve Van
Camp, Esther Barnes; Archie Van
Camp, her brother, Ralph Miers; Mary
Tierney, M. June Shaw; Jim Tierney,
her brother, Roger Williams. George
Allen, friend of Jim, Allen Kittle.
A Popular Class!
Student Tells Why
By FRANCESS MEKEEL
Junior Class, Lehman High School
The Junior Class is well represented
in extracurricular activities having six
girls and three boys on the basketball
squad; one boy on the wrestling team;
the head cheerleader and five other
girls on the cheerleading squad; two
boys and three girls on the gym team;
and four members represented in the
High School Orchestra.
The manager of our girls’ basketball
team happens to be a Junior and one
member of the class took part in the
Amateur Contest sponsored by the
Blue Ribbon Club of Dallas on Janu-
ary 30.
Curricular activities as well as out-
side activity do not suffer from lack
of support by this active class. Recent-
ly, two members upheld the negative
side in the debate given by Problems of
Democracy Class. A series of inter-
views showing how and in what man-
ner one should apply for a position
were very carefully arranged and pres-
ented by the members of this class as
a unit in English.

Senior Troop Girl Scouts
A GIRL SCOUT’S DUTIES
(An Editorial)
By ARVILLA SWAN
Girl Scouts put into action the third
jaw—"“A Girl Scout’s duty is to be use-
ful and help others.”
Many Girl Scouts make gifts for poor
children at Christmas time. They also
repair, paint and cover old toys to be
given away. Many troops make bag-
ettes and dresses and toys (out of oil-
cloth and cloth) for the Red Cross at
Christmas time and at various times
during the year. They sometimes give
plays, teas, daaces, card-parties and
other amusements to raise money to
give to crippled children.
If they see some one ill or hurt, they
try to help them. If a small child is be-
ing abused by the older ones, a Girl
Scout sees to it that he is left alone.
Home Courses Studied
At Beaumont High School
By ISABELLE KUNKLE
Beaumont High School
Everyone donned their apron and ap-
plied their most intelligent look last
Friday only to take them off without
using them. : 5
What this is all about is that last
Friday afternoon, Miss Gans, cooking,
sewing and home decorating teacher,
was scheduled to attend our school but
due to misunderstanding she did not
come. Nevertheless, she did come this
Friday, and organized two classes, one
cooking and the other sewing.
The first class includes the Senior
girls in the Dramatics club, who will
take cooking every Friday at 10:30 and
serve lunch at 12:00. They all feel that
Miss Gans will be very helpful to them
and appreciate her assistance.
Her second class, sewing, will be at
1:30. This includes those women out-
side of school who wish to take sew-
ing. They have received instructions
on making slips and will do so this
Friday, coming (February 14).
We wish to say that anyone wishing
to carry this class will kindly come in
Mr. Austin’s room every Friday at 1:30

ZERO LOVE
By Tom Best
(Dallas R. D. 4.)
Winter leaves its mark on me;
It lasts ’till late in spring.
The snow and ice they alternate ,
And troubles to me bring.
The first of things that worries me
Is how to start my car
No matter what precautions
I take, that’s how things are.
light,
And in the radiator .
I've put my trust in anti-freeze;
Dame weather; How I hate her.
Around the house I've stuffed some
pads
To keep the wind outside.
But when the wind comes
north
from the
It far from warms my hide.
When I go out I button up
And think of warm things only,
But frost-bite wrecks my lovely skin,
Oh hell! Where's spring? Baloney.

BIRD LIFE IN WINTER
By MRS DAVID W. SPRY
Shavertown
During the long winter season this
region passes through a period when
our feathered friends find little vege-
tation, except a few weed seeds and
some berries, for food.
During this season, the birds who
have braved the cold spend much of
their time feeding on pests that infest
our trees, If it were not for the birds,
all vegetation would soon disappear
so we should encourage children now
to help in protecting’ the wild life dur-
ing its most difficult time of the year.
Before the warm winds awake all
plant and insect life, much must be
done. During the severe weather we
must all do everything we can to help.
The feeding of our birds is a sim-
ple but very .important matter. So
much waste is practiced, it is pathetic
that any life, no matter how small,
should perish. .
Save your’ bread crumbs, and place
them in a feeder or on a board or tin
which is protected from rain and snow.
Do not scatter them abroad, since
much is lost if this is done. Pieces of
meat and suet—tied toa tree or any
place out of reach of dogs and cats are
appreciated by the little downy and
hairy woodpeckers, chickadees and
nuthatches,
These birds are little heroes when
they attack pests. Feed them, and re-
ceived real satisfaction when they
come in numbers to you every day.
Our little song sparrows and juncos
gather their food from or near the
ground, but a form of hopper feeding
is most practical. Sunflower seeds,
hemp, mijllet, fine cracked corn. and
cracked wheat make good combina-
tions, placed on a board nailed to a
stump, or in some sheltered spot.
The birds which build in hollow
trunks or branches of trees will use
man-made substitutes. Some protec-
tion in the form of little homes should
be provided for the little singers. To
do this intelligently, we must know
what such birds require. Four things
are necessary:
1. The inside of the box should be
large enough to be comfortable for
the bird for whom it is intended.
I'S TIME T0 TRIM
Trimmed trees and grapevines
always produce better fruit and

HUNTERS ATTENTION
In the deep snow the grouse,
pheasants and quail are starving
—Game Protector Spencer will
furnish the grain if you will put
it in the woods where the birds
can get it. Remember, fellows,
another hunting season is com-
ing and this is your chance to
show how good a sport you are,
by saving the game. \
Speaking of the deep snow re-
minds us that we can furnish
you a good power wood saw out-
fit with 20 inch saw for $15.00.
Spend less time in the snow and
more by the fire.

2. The box should be of good wood,
preferably 7-8 inch boards, stoutly
nailed to keep out drafts.
: 3. The box should have an overhang-
ing roof, or lid, which can: be easily
removed in the Fall and the Spring
to clean out the old nest. x
4. The entrance hall should be large
enough to allow the tenants to enter
easily, and should be about 2 inches
from the top, not the bottom, except
in boxes intended for the Purple Mar-
tin, whose door is usually but slightly
raised above the floor.
Face the homes as nearly South as
possible. They should never lean back-
ward, since this would allow the rains
to enter. Birds prefer to hide their
homes.
The one thing needful in bird house
building is to suit | the needs of the
bird you wish to attract and protect.’
The future of American wildlife lies
in the hands of our children. You will
doubtful welcome news of methods of
awakening in boys and girls an ap-
preciation of the beauty and economic
value of our native birds. Forming

way to vitalize your programs. In the

Important Issue
—
Affirmative Adjudged Win-
ner By Other Members
Of Class
By FRANCES MEKEEL
Junior Class, Lehman High School
A new and interesting feature of the
Problems of Democracy Class which
differed from the usual class discussion
was a well organized debate.
The question for the debate was “Re-
solved—That Government Ownership of
Public Utilities Is a Detriment to the
American People”.
The affirmative was represented by
members of the Senior Class who were
Nancy Lamoreaux, first speaker, and
Grace Bertram, second speaker. The
negative was upheld by members of
the Junior Class, Ralph Johnson, first
speaker, ‘and Florence Rusiloski, sec-
ond speaker. ’
The other members of the class
judged the affirmative team better be-
cause of the points it brought out and
