Perhaps many of our readers will
regret the fact that this happens
to be the last week the Tiger will
go to press. June the 4th, our
school will close and so closes The
Tiger. But we wish to take this
method of extending to our editor.
Mr. Willie J. Miller, our sincere
thanks for giving us the privilege
of printing our school rfews in The
Enterprise. To our many friends
and readers we wish to thank them
for their patronage in keeping the
sale of our paper going. We also
wish to give due credit to Herbert
Smith, W. L. Robinson, Grace Mor
ris, Earnestine Howard, Annie Bell
Dykes and Gertie Rawls who un
tiringly sold papers for their class
and their school. We assure all of
them of our sincere appreciation
for what they have done. We now
hope for them a happy and profita
ble vacation, sins they have so well
done their work.

The Womanless Wedding given
Monday. May 17, by the boys of
the 7th grade, section 2, was a great
success. Everyone who attended
witnesses a very laughable affair
that will long be remembered.
This week the Victory banner
went to the seventh grade, section
2. It is amusing to note that this
class was the first to receive the
banner and the last to receive it.
The Jim Hill Junior High School,
which includes the 7th, 8th, and 9th
grades, has purchased the sum of
$752.25 worth of bonds, and stamps
for the year. In the purchasing of
these bonds and stamps great stress
has been placed on Saving, not
spending, after tne war to the ex
tent that over 99 per cent of our
students still have their bonds and
rtamps. A very few have turned
their stamps in during the year.

President of the Board of Educa
tion, Miss Lester, Principal of the
Poindexter School and our own su
pervisor, Prof. O. B. Cobbins. All

cream was served patrons, friends
and members of the 9th grade class
es.

sented to the principal and mem
bers of the faculty a beautiful en

TIGE RGOSSIP
Well, folk will you kindly listen
to The Tiger Gossip for the last
time in the school year? The Tiger
is just wondering what would hap
pen if Lathern Cooper would stop
dipping into other folk’s affairs?
If Marrion didn’t act so silly? If
Joe wasn’t so funny? If John Ed
wasn’t so bad? If someone would
love Alexander Hickman?
The Tiger also notices that there
are some love buds bursting into
bloom, they are: M. J. H. and E.
W. A. B. S. and W. R. C. F. M. R.
and A. C. T. L. M. D. and L. C. M.

B. D. and E. S. D. R. P. and W. H.
R. E. R. E. and J. W. H. L. L. and

We admire Annie Dykes, Fan
nie Brown and Desree Preston’s
new hairods. Mattie Jewel looked
nice in her new dress and Florence
white bouse is very springy. Glass

and Hickman looks becoming in his
white shoes.
Well goodbye for the year, all
Tiger readers. We’ll greet you
again this fall. HAPPY VACA

CRYSTAL SPRINGS GOSSIP:
Versie Ray you had better get
hipped to these boys because they
are only jiving you. It seems that
Willie Lee cannot decide between
Margaret and Mary Esther. Make
up your mind fellow, which one do
you love? Primrose Morgan has
been receiving letters from Chi
cago. We are wondering who is
the fellow? May Lee is in love with
a preacher, could it be Judge Smith?
Mae Bell Ervin has an engagement
ring, wonder why she doesn’t wear
it? Mattie Mae and G. C. are seen
together often, could it be love? You
had better watch out Ardelle Jack
son, iris v. Jackson is rocking some
one’s dream boat with Hardy Walk
e,r could it be Sarah M. Adams?
R. H. Jackson seems to be heart
broken because his girl left Mon
day, guess who?
Yes, Richard Jenkins, does help
Rosie Lee Brown drop her bombs,
l^cause Shevy is really helping Wil
lie Mae. If all bombs explode like
the one Richard dropped and ex
ploded on himself, I’m sorry for
Uncle Sam’s army. Wonder how
Richard felt when his head was
sore from a shoe heel?
Janice said she looked for her
rocking chair Saturday, but couldn’t
find it. She intended to bring it
home. The Crisler girls say they
would rather ride in the V-8 be
cause it hurts Willie Mae and they
like the Model A because it huri^'
Richard and they take it easy in
the Deluxe. Is it true that Bernice
Bridges’ mother gave her a letter
to mail and she put it into the fire
alarm box in Jackson?
Mattie Hackett said Grady Cris
ler can’t jive her because she is a
jive box. Well, whoever though
Evelean would get a boy friend.
Strange things happened at Friend
ship. It was about the Crisler girls.
If James Funches would stop talk
ing about ffirls mavhp hA not
him a girl friend. Rosie Lee Hackett
said she would soon be going to
Camp Phillips, Kansas. Virgie Hac
kett was really enjoying himself
with Helen Bell Saturday night.
Rosie Lee Hackett said the boys
have got to straighten up and fly
right with her if they don’t fly
right, they needn’t fly at all. Kath
erine Crisler you should stop play
ing around with Walter and get
him.
In Juevember there will be a
chewing gum contest, on a certain
hill. Those invited are: Alic Jane
Williams, Rosie Lee Hackett, Jessie
Flowers, Areola, Johnnie B. Barnes,
Frankie Mae, C. Ethel Mae Jones
and Enie Mae Flowers.
Johnnie Roth there is no need of
looking sad because Ruby Lin Al
lison is a delport. You have to
straighten up and fly right these
days. Ethel Mae Jones there’s no
one worrying about the letters you
get from Pvt. James Bailey. Take
it easy Velma Lackey we all know
that you can’t score anymore. Geor
gia Ann Cison and O. B. Bradley

The New Zion Union Sunday
School is a progressive one. Each
Sunday is filled with more and
more inspiration. Old and young
people enjoy themselves in the ser
vices. The lesson Sunday was a
very striking one. Deacon Black
well. gave a timely and instructive
review.
Deacon A. Bailey and David
Washington also said many whole
some things concerning the lesson
and people of today. We were in
spired to the point, that we all be
live in being temperate in all
things. Prof. O. D. Gray is the su
perintendent.
Private Wesley Blackwell is home
on a visit. Everyone was glad to
see him. He is one of Bogue Chit

Cantreville |at Camp Van Dorn.
He was accompanied by his wife,
Mrs. Nancy Gray, Mr. James May
and wife, Maude and Prof. J. D.
Riley. To hear of Camp Van Dorn
is not enough. It is a great lesson
in itself just to see it, to enter the
Camp, which we did by getting a
pass. It is so orderly and every
thing is done by clock work. Many
lessons ca nbe learned just by sight
seeing.
Prof. J. D. Riley, the principal of

Shoe Stamp No. 18
Good June 16
Stamp 18 in War Ration Book 1
will become valid June 16. 1943 for
the purchase of one pair of shoes,
the Office of Price Administration
announced today.
No definite commitment can be
made at this time, OPA said, as to
the length of the period for which
Stamp 18 will be valid.
From present indications, how
ever, rationing officials express the
hope that the number of pairs of i
shoes available for release to ci- |
vilians will make it possible to j
maintain the same one-pair-per jj
stamp in slightly more than four i
months as provided by Stamp 17 j
(valid February 7 through June
15). j
Each member of a family has one l
Stamp 18, interchangeable among jj
members of the family living in the !
same household.
The validity period of Stamp 18
will be announced about June 1st (
when production and supply data i
now being received have been ^
thoroughly considered by all agen- 1
cies j nvolved.

The eminent banker was ex- t
plaining just how he started in f
business:
“I had nothing to do, and rent- I
ed an empty store, and put up a i
sign, “BANK". As soon as I opened \
for business, a man dropped in and >
made a deposit of $250. The next 5
day another man dropped in and |
deposited $300. And so, sir, the 1
third day my confidence in the £
enterprise reached such a point 5
that I put in $50 of my own
money.”
