A girl Is always a girl; you can
teil them by a certain faculty of their
sex when they get Into a quarrel.
To get into a quarrel with one is not
in the least advisable. They behave
exactly like a bad-tempered cat, and
act very treacherous as soon as your
back Is turned. When you can't de
fend yourself they pull your hair or
kick you.
When you first meet a strange girl
she slther does not say a word to you
or else lifts her eyebrows and ques
tions you like this: "Why, who. are
you?" Most generally she goes way
around you to some other girl, and,
pointing- an accusing linger at you,

Then, as you become better ac

i It was only last Friday, Nov. lfi,
1923. that the Royal Knights of
Proper Clothing held its first initia

gent of refined manners, but his
clothes were a disgrace to the foot
ball team. Maybe some noticed the
change but others did not, and as a
warning to all concerned, you must
hereafter appear in proper human
clothes or you will be taken to the
darkest extremity of the building and
well, that remains to be done.
As there is to be no more games
this year the letters were given out
last Friday to the following boys:

What the l ittle Folks are Doing
1
On visiting the primary room last
Tuesday we found their room nicely
decorated. On the border above the
blackboards is to be seen what they
have named "Pumpkin Village," with
pumpkin houses, giraffes and bears.
In one corner of the room is a sand
table on which they have built a
Puritan home Btanding among green
trees. Turkeys and other domestic
fowls are within Its rail enclosure.
Puritan men and women are stand
ing among the trees and the whole
scene is suggestive of Thanksgiving
day.
Besides doing the decorating work
the children are taught to tell a story
about each part.
They have also made spelling books
in which they write the words they
have learned to spell. The covers
of these books are made of card
board and mounted with paper cut
tings of black and white turkeys.
The Primary room has sold 175
Christmas sea,s, which is much to
their credit Last week they re
their credit.
Last week they received the follow
ing visitors: Mesdames Kosar,
Cohoon, Brown, Wagner and Klages.
8rd and 4tht
At the beginning of the school
year both 3rd and' 4th grades were
badly in need of review. Tha't has
been done so that now it can be said
of them "Every day in every way
they are getting smarter and smart
er." In art work the children made a
pretty turkey and cornstalk border
for the school room.
The deportment Is higher this
month. Last month there were only
four who received 100. This month
there are eleven.
School closed Wednesday evening
for Thanksgiving holiday and will
open Monday, Dec. 3.
Nearly all the teachers spent
Thanksgiving away from Boardman.

PREAMBLE
We, the students of Boardman
High, in order to form a better
school, establish joy, insure perfect
health, provide for our betterment,
promote our general standing, and
secure the blessings of happiness to
ourselves and our friends, do ordain
a gymnasium for Boardman.
This Appeal is to You!
Don't foiget Elliott's grand or
chestra concert to be given Thursday
evening, Dec. 6th.
Worthy directors and kind friend?
a 'mighty appeal to you is bursting
forth: "The need and longing for a
gymnasium."
Are you going to help us?
Are you going to make our long
silent wish a reality?
If you but knew some of the hard
ships and humiliations that we have
undergone by not being able to offer
comfort to our visiting teams.
We cannot accommodate our home
spectators let alone the friends and
feilbw students of our opposing team
What sort of an opinion of us do
they take away with them? (for the
Wattle does not fall on us.) For in
stance, remarks such as these are
dropped:
"Well, they certainly have their
nerve to take us to a place like that to
ilay bask I ha 1 1'"
"Who could play in a 'cubby-hole'
Ilka that?" and
"I'd just as soon stay clear of that
place."
Friends! Can we blame them?
No. for it is the truth and the truth
Uurta.
We do not gain popularity.
We do not gain anything but slams
and knocks.
It Isn't the. visitors alone who are
disgusted and disappointed, but you
yourselves are. If you are not, then
why do so many people reniark:
"What's the use to go to the game?
Our boys will only be beaten." Our
own mothers and fathers have made
these remarks.
Now! Why were we defeated laii
year?
How could we be otherwise when
we could practice but two nights a
week; when our hall was altogether
too small for suitable team work; its
ceiling too low; and many other dis
advantages, while perhaps not. notice
able to the onlookers were difficult
problems for the players.
The only answer that can be given
is that it was all we had.
Most Worthy Directors and those
of you who will stay behind us and
fight for us, we want you to know
that this plea is sent to you straight
from the hearts of the studens of
B.H.S. By Wahnona Rand:;
THANKSGIVING
(Read in Assembly by Zoe Hadley)
Thanksgiving is a time when the
people of this nation should pause
long enough to engage In serious
thought. It is a day that should
challenge the attention of both erious
and frivolous minds. The fact that
there are millions of our people who
have either forgotten, or do not
know or do not care what this day
signifies or reflects upon our nation.
All that we have, all that we enjoy
in the way of constitution and all lib
erty has its source in the coming or
the Pilgrims.
The Mayflower compact drawn up
by that group of one hundred or
more people was the first step which
finally culminated in our grand and
glorious constitution which was later
instituted by a galaxy of great men.
The founding of a home on the
stormy shores of New England was
likewise the first step in the trans
formation of a new found land in
which oppressed people from other
lands became home builders and citi
zens of a great commonwealth.
The heroism, fortitude and cour
age exhibited by these first comers
was akin to that of Flanders field.
Those sturdy Pilgrims landed amid a
storm of hail and sleet, and began
to build homes. During the lin t . i,.
er over half their little band per
ished from hunger and sickness, yet
when spring came not one thought
of returning home. They endured
the elements of a rigorous climate
rather than return to the oppression
of a tyrant English king. They had
found a land where they could start
life anew and worship God according
to the dictates of their own con
science. In this day it may seem hard for
us to realize what the blessings we
tinjoy have cost. Yet wb have only
to study our school history to know
that we are the beneficiaries of un
told hardships and sacrifices endured
by the Pilgrims and those who came
after thein. They gave thanks to
God for a few crusts of bread. How
much more have we to be thankful
for? We are in a land of plenty.
We are in a position to help the
-tarving and oppressed people of
other lands. The American flag
iloats above us and of all nations on
the earth we are the greatest and
most prosperous.
So, today lest we forget, let us
read again the story of our fore
fathers and renew our pledge to our
ountry, our flag and give thanks to
our God as did the Pilgrims of three
hundred years ago.

When the leaders of the live stock

work among boys and girls, they did
not expect that within only a few

surpass the experienced veterans In
the show a-cna. But this, however,
happened at rhe recent Indiana state
fair when the winner in the baby beef
contest showed in the open classes
and defeated the breeders themselves
for the grand championship of the
show.
The boy who had this proud distinc

son of the well-known- Aberdeen-Angus
breeder, W. W. Wilson of Muncie,
Indiana, After winning nt his county
fair, the young man took his baby beef,
Baron W, to Indianapolis to compete
for the state championship. There he
met stiff competition in the show of
(!2 calves, 24 of which were Short
horns, 22 Aberdeen-Angus and 1G Here
fords. This promising stockman was asked
to tell the story of his success for the
benefit of the thousands of farmer
boys and girls who are enrolled In
club work all over the country. The
following account Is given in his own
words :
