OF COURSE THE COLOR HAS BEEN ADDED AND THE ART WORK BY (THE ROUGHRIDER) COULD NOT BE COPIED WITH ANY SUCCESS. IN 1946, ONLY A MIMEOGRAPH, WAS USED TO PRODUCE THE PAPERS
THE ROUND UP |
||
| VOLUME 1 - NUMBER 2 | NOVEMBER 14, 1946 | |
| THE FIRST EDITION "The Round Up" evidently went over with a bang, for everyone still wants to keep on with our newspaper. One of the first editions was sold Tuesday morning to our principal, Mr. Eddins, who graciously contributed a dollar for it. This dollar helped out in the profit, which is twenty-seven dollars and eighty-five cents as it stands now. Everyone must keep up the work of contributing to our paper, for now we must take the problems of keeping it going on our shoulders and not our sponsors' and staff's. ====================================== EDITORIALS GUEST ARTIST The famous dramatic tenor, Lorence Dossett, and his wife, Frances Dossett, were guests recently of Dr. Griffiths, pastor of the Christian Church. Mr. Dossett who sings with Oscar J. Fox, Texas' most noted composer, visited the high school Tuesday morning, October 29. For us he sang: I Love Life, One Alone, and Riding Along, Fox's latest composition; His wife accompanied him on the piano. Tuesday night The Woman's Council of the Christian Church presented Mr. Dossett in a concert mostly composed of religious classics but containing four of Oscar Fox's compositions. HONESTY What is Honesty? Webster's dictionary says it is: freedom from fraud or deceit; fairness and straightforwardness in speech, thought, conduct, etc. You should know by now that "cheating on homework and tests helps none. Though it may seem to help how there will come a day of reckoning. In reality cheating as the teachers say, is only cheating yourself. So start today and prepare for your future by using your own brain. DEMOCRACY IN C. H. S. Among the students of C. H. S. there exists a very good spirit of democracy---a spirit in which every student feels free to express his opinion, whether it may consider studies, annuals, or papers, so long as it does not hurt some individual. Democracy is an essential for a strong unified student body. There must be a feeling within the students that no one is better than the student himself. In this way all students will feel free to contribute to anything any time and in any proper way.
===================================== WITHIN THESE PORTALS Did you know that the average bobby-sox fan of Frankie is wearing black soxs in mourning over he and his wife's separation? Well, it looks as if Jack Lucas' and Billy Red's (Lillian Robbins') romance has been broken up by J. L. Parker. It seems that a certain peroxide twirler is trying to be another Peggy Neal! Watch out girls, hand on to your boy friends. Ann Harris and Lefty Faulk would be quite the couple these days. That is if Lefty would cooperate. What American History teacher saw a man peeping through her bedroom window as she prepared for bed on night? Don't tell anybody but the secret of Tommy Fontaine's allure for Kathryn Glenn is pecan brittle, his own concoction. Gracious, what is this school going to be? In one end of the hall there are always Bettye and Ellis holding hands and in the other end of the hall! It's to dreadful to mention. The courtship between Ollie Mae Scot and J. L. Parker is being broken up by Erris Goings. Wonder how is catching that love glimpse in Lynn Paul's eye? It is rumored that Tommye Duke will change her royal name, Duke, to Grubs when she finished school at Christmas. Who is this Romeo that turns "Kinky" Samford's baby-blue eyes into heartshapes? Could it be John Matthew Cartwright? Tommy Fontaine has been trying to be enough courage to get serious with Bobby Mosby. Tommy, you better go back to Tulsa, 'cause you're too young to marry. To those who remember Wesley Mason, he is in good health and doing fine. He was seen with two brunets and a blonde at an S.F.A. football game. What's this about La Fayne Covington and that twenty-five year old veteran? She says "hands off". He's hers. ===================================== CLUB NEWS 'LA SERPIENTE ESPANOLA" The Spanish I club met Friday, November 8, second period. The meeting was presided over by the President, Louis Muldrow. The suggestion was made and unanimously voted upon that our club become a branch of the state Spanish Organization, The Pan American Student Forum. A Program was presented under the directions of Linda Lee Wilson and Violet Joy Dukes. Stories were told by Bonnie Lawson, Betty Jo Williams and Billy Mosby. A play was given with Violet Dukes as announcer and Joe Davis Foster, Martha Smith, Betty Hattaway, Roger Langford, Louis Muldrow and S.L. Hughes as the characters. Delicious refreshments of punch and cookies were served; the meeting was enjoyed by all. F. F. A. NEWS The Center F. F. A. Chapters were honored Tuesday, October 29, by having James Hancock of Timpson, the State President talk to them. James made an interesting talk that all the boys enjoyed. He has recently attended the National F.F.A. convention at Kansas City. Bobby Browley, Harley Burris, Royce Holt and Mack Dillard attended the area F.F.A. meeting at Nacogdoches last Tuesday, November 2, 1946. They reported that they had a good time at the meeting. "LATINA PAUCI" The Latina Pauci held its weekly meeting last Friday in the regular classroom. The business session was presided over by the president, Tommy Moffett. Immediately following, he turned the program over to the program chairman--Nancy Chadwick and Kathleen Alford. The program was composed of several Latin myths, stories, and jokes. At the close of the program the class sang the Latin translation of "America" in unison. The Latin class and their visitor, Mrs. Slaughter, were served delicious refreshment of sandwiches, cookies and cokes.
===================================== FOOTBALL NEWS Last Friday afternoon was an open date for the Center Roughriders. The Roughriders had not been out for practice much in these two weeks because of bad weather. The Roughriders are training for good blocking now. We all think the team will defeat the Jasper Bulldogs this Friday Night, November 8. The "B" Team of the Center Roughriders have been showing good progress. They have not been defeated during the season. They defeated the Tenaha "A" team 13 to 0, Wednesday, October 30. It was only a scrimmage game; Charles Brittain made both touchdowns from the T formation. John Allen made the game when he received a punt and almost ran for a touchdown but was tackled and one of his ankles was sprained. Bill Rogers plunged through the middle several times during the game, and picked up yardage. The Carthage Bulldogs defeated the Center Roughriders 81 to 0, Friday Night October 25. The weight of the Bulldogs had the advantage over the Roughriders. ===================================== MISS HEART THROB Dear Miss Heart Throb: I seem to be getting nowhere in my attempts to get Dowell. I have tried tripping him in the halls, sitting by him in Civics, and putting my Sold Geometry problem by his on the board, but all is useless. What shall I do to attract my one and only's attention? Sincerely, Miss Low Morale I wish I could be far more comforting but the only bright light I can throw on the subject is to say that maybe you wouldn't want Dowell if you actually had him. But if you really think you would like him immensely, you must start now to learn the things that Dowell likes. Then you will have something to talk about on your first date, which he will ask for if you wear your prettiest dresses wrong side out everyday, different color socks, and your hair in pig tails. I believe that he just can't help but notice you then. Miss Heart Throb. Dear Miss Heart Throb: As my problem is indeed a difficult one. I cannot study or anything. Reba Beavers and Marvelene McClure are making life miserable for me. They are continually taking me places, talking to me in classes, and hangon me after school. Is there some way that I can let them know that I do not care for either of them without hurting their feelings. Aaron Stephenson. The only thing I know is for you to get these two young ladies in trouble, in fact such serious trouble that Mr. Moffett will consider it necessary to expel them from Center High. Then you problem will be solved. Miss Heart Throb
====================================== THE LONG AND SHORT OF IT The other day Myrtle Price returned to the library a book which had been overdue since 1943. The title: "Get Your Man" *** Betty Smith, a waitress at the Polly Hotel: "I have stewed kidneys, boiled tongue, fried liver, and pig' feet." J. W., a customer: "Don't tell me your troubles, sister. Give me a hamburger." *** Mrs. Hanna: "What's that ugly insignia on the side of the bomber?" Mrs. Wooley: "Sh- h-h-! That's the commanding officer, Mr. Eddins, looking out of the porthole." *** Mr. Moffett meeting Mr. Wyatt fumbling with his key hole in the small hours of the morning, decided to got help-- Mr. Moffett: "Here, let me help you." Mr. Wyatt: "That's all right; you just hold this house still, and I can manage." *** Bryan: "Billy, how did the accident happen? Billy: "I had dimmed my lights and hugging a curve." Bryan: "Yeah, that's the way most accidents happen." *** Be nice to people on the way up. You may meet them again on the way down. *** We heart of a lucky man the other day. He had a wife and a cigarette lighter and they both work. *** A meddling young woman accused a workman of having reverted to drink because "with her own eyes" she had seen his wheelbarrow standing outside the tavern. The accused man made no verbal defense, but that evening he placed his wheelbarrow outside her door and left it there all night. *** A drunk man was beating on a light post and a policeman asked him what he was doing. The drunk said he was trying to get into his home. The policeman told him, "That's not your home." "Oh, yes it is. There's a light on up-stairs." =================================== |
PROGRESS OF THE ANNUAL Monday, the staff of "The Roughrider" got into full swing on the 1946 annual, selling the first copy to our Superintendent, F. L. Moffett. Richard Case, the Junior Class President, leads the subscription list by selling 82 annuals, He is followed by the Senior Class President, Bobby Stewart, who has sold 49. The total number of annuals sold this week was 198. "The Roughrider" staff wants to thank every subscriber for his cooperation in making this year's annual one of the best. ==================================== EDITORIALS VISIT OF PATROLMAN VINEYARD On Wednesday morning, October 30, the entire student body assembled in the auditorium to be addressed by Patrolman Vineyard, who speaks to the students every year. The object of his talk was activity on a school bus. He gave us several plans of safety, which other schools had found successful, to be used on these buses, and suggested that if we liked, we might adopt one or a combination of several. He touched lightly on First Aid. Mr. Vineyard's talk was appreciated by all, for we feel that most of us are quite careless and still have much to learn before our buses are completely safe. HALLOWEEN The students of Center High School had a great disappointment Halloween night when they came to bring chairs, signs, and such things out to put on the high school lawn. To their surprise they found the front porch light and all other lights around the building on. To add to the excitement they found our old faithful janitor, Bud Lawrence, right inside the front door of the building. But still if he was there, there were a few things contributed to the lawn.

Adams Billy Bruce Faulk Art Editor.....................................Peggy Neal Typist............................................June Stolebarger Printing Managers.....................Ray Jackson Bobby Ross =================================== WITHIN THESE PORTALS The Adams- Lawson romance has drawn a lot of attention. Publicity seems to embarrass Bonnie but I don't know about J. W. Ten girls about school are swooning over the new H-man, McNeil Moore expected later. There may be a new love affair between Jack ? and Elaine Weaver. What's this we hear about Joyce Stewart spending most of her time in Logansport. Although we don't think she over gets as far as "Kolb's Bar" she usually stops at the show and "eats popcorn" So Ethel Marie has moved to Joaquin. Oh no, I don't mean in body and soul, I mean in mind and spirit. She's not "Happy" here. Have you heard? Mrs. Menefee collects signs, especially road signs and Coca cola signs. Mr. Sam collects cactus plants grown on Nacogdoches Street. He collects on Halloween night. The new 1946 Dodges are going swimming by themselves. We hear the Carriker's new Dodge took a plunge in Carriker's Lake. One of our tall blonde twirlers is on the hunt again and it's not for ducks. What teacher, desperate for a man, poured hot coffee down a rival's back? What is this we hear about S. L. Hughes and Nancy Chadwick? It couldn't be that Rudd is getting left out, could it? James Paul keeps Mary Jean Jetton in a state of confusion because he always waits until the last minute to ask for dates. That way she doesn't know whether or not to accept other dates, such as Bobby Smith. Pat Middleton has taken over since Buster Stephenson and Marilyn Sluder broke up.
==================================== CLUB NEWS "LAS AMIGOS DE LAS ESTADOS UNIDAS" "Las Amigos de las Estados Unidos" met Friday, November 8, in the school cafeteria. Club minutes were read and club business was discussed.

NOTICE!!! Remember to pay your bills at the cafeteria. Your money is necessary before more good can be bought. The band is making preparations for a concert, December 13, 1946. Others have been presented and were very enjoyable. ===================================== FOOTBALL NEWS There will probably be two first string back fields out of the game with Jasper, Bertie (Kinch) Koonce, and Johnny Allen. Maybe both will be able to play when Center plays San Augustine, November 15, and that will be the final game of the Roughriders in the year of 46. Joaquin defeated the Roughriders 13 to 0, and the Roughrider "B" team defeated Tenaha's "A" string 12 to 0. The Joaquin and Tenaha played last Friday night and the score was 0 to 0. The teams seem uncertain. BULLDOGS DOWN RIDER 20 - 0 On Friday night, November 8th., the Jasper Bulldogs defeated the defensive-minded Center Roughriders. The riders started their second string backfield and were unable to start moving. However, the riders played a whale of a game on defense. On Friday night, November 15th., the center squad will play their last game of the season against San Augustine. ===================================== MISS HEART THROB Dear Miss Heart Throb: I'm 5' 9" tall, weigh two hundred and ten pounds, have red hair, freckled face and green eyes, but still I've a lonely heart. Please tell me what I can do. Tris I have thought very seriously about your problem and have come to the conclusion that the only hope for you to ease your lonely heart will be to wait until November 9 and enter the Sadie Hawkin's Day race. The best of luck to you. Miss Heart Throb. Dear Miss Heart Throb: Please answer a lonely senior's plea, and advice me about my love life. "My Big Moment" is a senior also, but he doesn't know I exist. He's really quite handsome, being 6"2" and weighing around 130 lbs. To me, his red hair and freckles make him Van Johnson, and when his voice isn't changing he speaks nicely. I need your advise soon for now after three years he has spoken to me in the hall. Sincerely, Patience My dear, I have learned that patience will always be rewarded. Miss Heart Throb. Dear Miss Heart Throb: I've come to the tenth degree in trying to get Troy Lynn Stewart's attention. Why, only the day I tripped him as he was coming down the stairs. This trick failed though, for he was knocked out cold and I had to go to class before he regained consciousness. Please help me in this desperate situation. Pleadingly Yours, Prunelle Pierce. I suggest that you fall down yourself sometime when you are near him. Drop your books on the stairs and let the gentleman secure them for you. These things should help you to get his attention. Miss Heart Throb. ================================== THE LONG AND SHORT OF IT Miss Hester, attending Sunday School for the first time, listened reverently to the lesson on the wise virgins, the oil lamps and the wedding. Finishing, the teacher asked, "What is the moral in the story?" She expected to hear "Always be ready." Miss Hester quickly informed her, "Always be on the lookout for a bridegroom." *** Mr. Sam: (addressing a student who was absently chewing on a coin) Gay, don't you know that money has germs on it. Gay: Even a germ couldn't live on my allowance. *** As the lightning bug said when he lost his tail--"I', delighted." *** Mrs. Menefee who had lived in the backwoods all her life went to town one day and happened to stand in front of a tall mirror. She thought she saw another woman so she said, "Well! You look awful lank. I believe I will go and get you a baked potato." She did so and when she came back said, "I see you have one already> I will just eat this one myself." *** The first car Mr. Moffett ever saw was coming up the road. He thought it was a bear and he ran to get his gun. When he shot, the man driving the car jumped out and ran down through the field. Mr. Moffett's wife asked him if he killed it. He said, "No, but I made him turn that man loose." *** Tommye was looking for sugar cane and came upon a couple siting on a bridge chewing away. The boy told Tommye there was some can right over the fence. After Tommye and the others had got a load of cane, Tommye said, "Aren't you afraid you'll get caught?" The reply was,"Why, no, my father owns the patch." *** Mr. Bush: (to players) and remember that football develops individuality, initiative and leadership. Now get out on the field and do exactly what I've told you to do.
