============================= HUNDREDS ATTEND FAIR The first Shelby County Fair since the beginning of the war got under way as the parade, led by the Center High School Band, came down the streets at one o'clock on October 15, 1946. Among the beautiful floats was one bearing a replica of the Center High School. For first prize on the floats, the Center Public Schools received a check for fifteen dollars. On the fair grounds the Center High School booth, sponsored by Mrs. Roy Woolley and her homemaking class, proved to be a great success. One thousand dollars was taken in by this department. A part of the profit will be used to buy an electric refrigerator and some china and crystal for the homemaking laboratory. The F.F.A. boys had on exhibit some of the livestock which they raised. They also played an important part around the fair grounds, taking up tickets at the shows and rides. for their work they were paid one hundred and fifty dollars, which they will use for a trip to the Houston Livestock show and for other things that might occur in the near future. The fair came to an end Saturday, October 19, after the Fair Association had given away the 1946 Ford car. Other business establishments gave away radios, refrigerators and other articles of use. Everyone returned home with plans for improving his crops and livestock and with thoughts of next years' fair. Miss Hester and Miss Taylor attended the rodeo at the State Prison in Huntsville, Sunday October 27th.
============================== ROUGHRIDER SCHEDULE OF GAMES BY J. W. Adams, Sports Editor The Roughriders have played four games this season. Gaston defeated us in the first game by a score 49 to 0, but the riders were not daunted by this defeat. They trimmed Arp 6 to 0 the following week. Next, they lost 13 to 0 to Joaquin, but the very next game they played they tied the score with the Timpson Bears. The riders have three more games scheduled for this season. Carthage, October 25, Jasper, November 8, and a game with San Augustine will end our football season. Our "B" string played the Timpson Bears "B" string in a scrimmage game last Wednesday afternoon and Center beat them 13 to 0. A game between the Future Farmers Football team and the Roughriders had to be canceled due to rain. Bertie (Kench) Koonce, our left half back was hurt in a car accident and is unable to play in the game with Carthage, but we all hope Kench will be able to play in the games with Jasper and San Augustine.
============================= JOKES Mr. Moffett fired five times at a burglar, but missed him every time. The professor needs to do some reviewing on triggernomertry. **** "Est you spinach, Tommy. Don't you know it puts firm white teeth in your mouth?' "Then Feed it to Grandpa!" **** Cop: Use you noodle, Lady. Use your Noodle. Miss Hester: Where is it? I've pushed and pulled every button on the dash board. **** Bill Barton, a Freshman receiving his first report card in Center High School, returned home and proudly said to his mother. "I received 100 in everything; 25 in English, 15 in Science, 30 in Algebra, 20 in History, and 10 in Deportment." **** Mrs. Slaughter received a check for services rendered and discovered that it was a penny short. A stickler for detail, she insisted that the difference be paid--and is due course received another check for a single penny. She presented it for payment at the bank. The teller examined it closely and then asked, "How would you like this, Madam? Heads or Tails?" **** Tub Schillings met Ben Adams in the hotel lobby. "From the looks of you," said Tub, "There might have been a famine." "and from the looks of you," said Ben, "You might have started it." **** Miss Taylor was asked
what she desired most in a husband, brain, wealth or appearances. She snapped
back: " Appearances, and the sooner the better." **** Mrs. Johnston: Jay Jean, a little bird told me you got help on this history assignment. Jay Jean: It must have been a stool pigeon. **** Mr. Eddins: Now boys, remember, two head are better than one. F.F.A. Class: Yeah. But wouldn't you look ridiculous? ============================== CLUB NEWS The Latine Pauci was organized the members of the Latin class of 1946.

Once a month we enjoy a social and have had two socials thus far. Our club is looking forward to a very enjoyable year and many interesting meetings.

============================= CAMPUS CHATTER What's this about Harley Burris riding the hobby horses with that tall, good looking, blonde Tuesday Night? **** It is rather hard to tell these days who is the most popular boy in Center High--Charles Pate or Franklin Barlow! **** So the Aaron Stephenson--Reba Beavers romance is still in full swing. However, from the look on Jaye Jean's face, we fear it won't last long. **** It seems that Betty Hattaway was the only gal that rated Friday Night. Gee Betty, what did you do to get to come back on the football boys' bus? No fair, Coach!!! **** Wonder what Kathryn Glenn sees in Tommy Fontaine beside a lust for knowledge? **** LOST: Some hair, Black; reward if returned intact. F. L. Moffett. **** It seems a certain blonde is keeping Kenneth Baucum "panicky" by being the holder of his snapshot. Surely you wouldn't deprive a girl from looking at your handsome face, Kenneth? **** For the future, Jean Carroll Richards has chosen to be a model housewife for a guy of her dreams, rather than a Power's model. **** Wonder why a certain little short, brown curly hair girl liked the Valley down Mexico way so well? |

All is quite and still; Our fire is our only protection against the darkness of the night. A cold wind blows upon us, We come closer to keep warm. We think only of the friendly fire Not how it could cause us harm. But if we wake at night, And a blazing fire is close by Fire is not a friend! It brings a wail and cry. If we had been cautious Before we went to sleep, There would have been no tragedy, No cause for us to weep.

They have presented some enjoyable performances this fall. The Center High School Cafeteria is becoming famous for those luscious desserts - um - um. ==================== WHY??? Why does Elvin not burn his Bridges? Why did Tommye become a Duke? Why is Erris always Goings? Why is Judy so attached to Flowers? ================================ ROUGHRIDER SPIRIT BY Bruce Faulk, Ass't Sports Editor Although the Roughrider football squad may not be heavy in the line, or have so much weight in the backfield, they are rolling right along with the good material they do have. Their spirits are high and they are striding forward to win their three final football games. The riders have shown steady improvement since the opening of football season and promise to let their three final foes know that they will be in for a battle. With almost all this year's team members returning next year, the 1947 squad should be one of the best, if not the very best team in the Conference. The Riders are determined to show they are no pushovers and that they can give any team they play a run for their money. PEP SQUAD-BAND Let's recognize right now the excellent support the Pep Squad has given the Roughriders. They yell leaders have been most cooperative and loyal. The Center High School Band has been a strong factor in lending support. Many thanks Band, Pep Squad, Yell leaders and twirlers.

Dowell: My girl's name is Mavis! **** Billy McCollum, a country boy, had never ridden on a train. After he had picked cotton and saved one hundred dollars, he went to the depot and asked the ticket agent to sell him a round trip ticket as far as his money would buy. On the train there were several Methodist preachers returning from a conference. When Billy used some words he didn't learn in Sunday School a minister sat down beside him and said, "Young man, where are your going? Billy replied, " I don't know." The minister said, "I know. I'm afraid you are going to hill." Billy's quick reply was, " I don't care. I've got a round-trip ticket." **** Mrs. Stolebarger: "June, I will have to have a talk with you. When you went to school this morning you forgot to comb your hair; you forgot to wash your face; you forgot to take your books. How will I explain that to your teacher?" June: "Oh, that's o. k., Mom, I also forgot to go to school." The Perfect Boy

Why doesn't someone tip off the one twirler who doesn't already have peroxided hair and get her to glorify her hair, also. If we can get this done we'll have the entire twirlers' section one big, happy, peroxided family---all five of them. **** Looks as if Mary Louise and Charles comprise a regular twosome these days.

As real a Texas toughie as ever you have seen. I roped the stars and wanted the moon; I climbed the trees like a real baboon. I'm fat at shoveling out the food, and I really can shoot when I'm in the mood.. Oh, Yes, I'm tough you'll hear them say; for I grew with the pines out East Texas Way.....by Robbie Hudson.
