A s AIBI*OW ro* HUDKiaON
On Wednesday of last week, soon
after Nfh school had adjoardad for
,h<> dinner pertcd. there passed over
Henderson. »n airplane. Os course
tll i, * nothin* unueuai, baoauae air
planes pam overhead nearly every
Jay This particular *l*a*. though,
probably ait racked a Hale attention
due to the fact that K wee a little
different from the planes we usually
; ee The plane was a flaming red in
rotor, with gold stripes on the rides
,nd a shiny, silver noee. Someone
.aid that it was a Lockhead-Vega
pane, but of this we cannot be sure,
however we do know that it wae a
m i,tUty good-looking one. with a high
powered sounding motor. Thla plane
also cirelied our town once or twice
before It left. U though the pilot wws
looking for a place to land. Not find
ing one. it wan* on.
If the town had poos eased an air
port. in all probability the plane
would have landed. Not only this
I tone, but numerous others that pass
over each dey. An airport mean a
tot to s town; It is a big business In
use If and It boasts the towwn and its
Duanes*. Ablation is a coming enter
prptse. each day helps to increase its
hi*got ode. and a town as large as
Henderson cant go wrong by having
nn airport.
If every time eny one heard or saw
jit airplane going overhead he or she
woukl -Hop and think about the above
nuu-r. w e venture to say that they
would hink quite frequently about it.
Let dbetn think for instance, that
every plane that shes over or circle,
around U looking for a landing place
irut then they will realize the crying
need that Henderson has for an air
port*
The word and opinion of the dtu
of H. H. S. may not carry so
much weight in town affairs, now
but each year now doubles and trebles
our power and Influence in town af
ters. If we, the students of Hender
'*■o high school, make up our minds
now to give Henderson an airport
within the next ten years, we will at
that instant make he ftret and a great
«rp toward doing so.
The United Suites wins again! At
Vast that’s what the unofficial com

Mary Qawiey entertained a group of
friends at a party given at her home
on Friday night. Games were played
and dancing was also enjoyed. T%*
I hostess served delicious refreshments.
Mas B L MsKee Speak* la Seniors
On Wednesday morning the seniors
were delighted to have Mrs. E. L.
McKee of Raleigh, N, C. to speak to
them. Mm. McKee is the flrat wo
man Senator In North OaroHna and
la very prominent in the D. A. R. so
cieties of the state. Mm. McKee took
ss her mbject. History. She conveyed
to the group of boys and girls the fol
lowing points concerning history.
I» studying history, why do we al
ways leave out that part concerning
crur southern states? By careful study
It can be proved that the South has
been at thj front in every crisis. It
is not brought out, however, because
we leave our history for some one else
to write who is very indifferent or un
concerned as to the part the South
plays. We. ourselves learn more
about other history than we do our
own for the simple reason that other
hirtory is made impressive.
In the settlement of America, the
faot that Jamestown was first set
tled Is often omitted. Much empha
sis is pu on Plymouth settlement, how
ever, when Jamestown is really the
the cradle of American history. In
studying the Revolutionary Wfcr, the
Battle of Guilford Courthouse is rare
ly stressed, while tt was one of the
strongest fights in the war. The re
treat made through the Carolines wae
a masterful retreat but is often omit
ted. Among the Important generals
In this War were Green and Marlon,
both Southerners. After the “War
between the States” we left northern
er* to write an account and therefore
set up a prejudiced add mistaken idea
of the causes of this war. It is often
forgotten that the southern boys
broke the Hindenburg Line In the
World War.
We don’t want anytjody etee’s credit
In History, but we do want credit for
what we have done.
The Seniors enjoyed Mrs. McKee's
talkfl exceedingly.
Hostess at “Leap Year Bridge Club”
Miss Dorothy Thompson delightful
ly entertained at “Leap Year Bridge
Club" at her home on Thursday after
noon at four o'clock. The bouse was
beautifully decorated with spring flow
ers and pussy-willows. Mias Marga

handkerchiefs. DeR clous refresh
ments were served. The following
members were present: Misses Doro
thy and Katherine Hunt, Margaret
Turner, Emily Mae TTxxirpson. Mar
jorie Gerber, Althea Perry, and Doro
thy Thompson.
Chapel Assembtys
On Tpeaday morning the Seniors
and Freshmen assembled in chapel
and heard a very help.'.U talk by Rev.
L W. Hughes. After singing "Ame
rica.” we were led in prayer by the
speaker. The subject of Mr. Hughes
talk was the “Importance of Accu
racy in Building Character.” Accu
racy, he says, is essential in school
work as well as ail other kinds of
work, and in baseball, basketball,
and sports. Be accurate and your
mind and character wijj bo so de
veloped that a better enjoyment of
life can be insurad.
• The Sophomore and Junior atomes
were entertained In chapel Ttwreday
morning by Miss Cord la's roam. A
little play was presented called "The
Dumb Wife ” Those taking part ware
Lucy Hester, Jamas Mills. J. P. Set
terwhM< and Teddy Scoggins.
The wife was dumb and her hus
band wished more than anything else
for her to be able to speak. The
meat capable surgeon was aaHsd upon
HENDERSON. (N. C.J DAILT DISPATCH, MONDAY, FEBRUARY 29, 1932 ’
aftd was able to perform the operation
It proved successful, too successful,
drt spoke too much and as no
.person could be made not to speak the
susband consented go an operation
that would make him deaf.
*»»is Uttle play wae very clever and
enjoyed by all.
SPORTS
FLASH BACKS
Anything which happens twice will
happen three time#.” So goee an old
esying. quoted often by the super
. ..iuiiouß people, but it was certainly
a true one when applied to Hender
son HJgh•* part in the Vance County
Tournament. This to the third year
of the annual tournament, and three
tim« during the three years Hender
son has either been edged out in the
semi-ftnals or finals by a margin of
one point or a goal.
In 1930, tihe fins, year of the annual
tournament, Aycock defeated H, H.
S. In the critical gafns when Dement
sank a goal in the exitfa period to give
Aycock 15 points to Henderson’s 18,
thereby giving Aycock the champion
ship.
In 1981, last year, Zeb Vance won 13
to 12, after an extra period had been
played.
Middlaburg made k the third time
In a row when they rallied in the clos
ing minutes of pipy to edge out a
win over Henderson by a margin of
two points last Tuesday night In the
ftaale of the Vance County Tourna
ment . The game was the fastest seen
on the decal court so far this year.
Many fouto were nailed by the referee
and more double fouto were called
than have over been culled In a boy’s
basketball game hare.
Henderson might have won, but
there are a lot of Ifs, so we won’t
mention them. The game was at
tended by a very large crowd, but
of thfe crowd we venture to say that
hardly 10 per cent were Henderson
high school students, and If you had
heard the cheering oiler the game was
over, you would have thought that
every one there was from Mlddleburg.
Maybe the faot that it was a school
kept some of the students away from
the game—-something did.
On Friday night, the Bulldogs met
Aycock. Upon looking back we find
that previous to this game the two
teams had met six times since Mr.
Payne became coach at H. H. S.
Each team won three of the games,
thus the game on Friday night was a
rubber event. In 1980 the teams me*
four times, Henderson winning the
flrrt two game# 19 to 6 and 22 so 5.
Aycock won the cither two by the
scores of 7 to 12 and, as previously
mentioned, IS to 15.
Lest year, Aycock won the first of
1 the two games by 20 to 19 and lost to
Henderson in the next by the score
of 12 to 28.
On Frictay night the Bulldogs broke
the tie with Aycock by winning in a
spectacular game after a mighty slow
rtatt. Thus they earned another try
at Middtefcung and maybe we wttl ypt
win the Vance County Champion
ship.
THE ZSSM VANCE GAME
There has been a great deal of dis
cussion in reference to the Zeb Vance
Henderson high game scheduled for
last Monday night with its unfortu
nate ending. Perhpps we should feel
that we oußht to make a reply to the
protests published in the Dispatch on
Wednesday but we feel that ignoring
these remarks is by far the btelt pol
icy. Anyone knowing Coach Payne
knows that Ms reputation as a fair
end square judge hi any Is above re
proach. And as for Jesse Matthews
whom we all know well it is incon
ceivable that he would referee a game
and make unfair decisions.
May we take thla opportunity to
state our theory in regard to Zeb
Vance’s failure to g» through with
the gams. What we behove was a
very Important factor was—the fact
that the ssoond team from Henderson
high school was aMe to fame Zeb
Vance to ex*it the boat they had be
fore they (the ssoond team) went
down in defeat- , *

STATE tUIABOb -TOURNAMENT
Henderson High School has been ad
mitted to the annual State OoMege
tournament held in Raleigh. Each
year a committee selects the teams
that they consider the outstanding
ones of the State and then issues to
eooh of them an invhition to parti
cipate in an eThnlnatfen seriea to de

Last year Henderson was invMed to I
attend, and did; but did not meat with [
any spectacular auoceae. being elimi
nated | n the second round by New
Barn. The game was a very close
and an extra period had to be played
before New Bern could eke out a win
by a slender margin of one point. The
team of las* year doea have (Me to its
credit though—it is the only team sent
to a tournament by Henderson which
survived the first round of play.
The team of this year has establish
ed a better record in games won than
larfc year's team did and thus they
should go farther In the tournament.
Here’s hoping they do.
EXCITEMENT IN THE SENIOR
CLASS
Wihat is all this about anyway? All
the Seniors are hurrying around, yell
ing questions “What are you going to
try for?’’ and rtayl n gat school late
in the afternoons. I«t is just the be
ginning of an event which has been
prophesied about four or five timee al
ready to take place on March 18. The
cause and the event is the long awak
ed Senior play. It has been a custom
for the Senior classes to present a
play every spring and we are trying
to follow the tradition. For two aft
ernoons, Tuesday and Wedneotkiy, the
student* wore gi’Mn tryoute for the
different parts. Since there are fifty
two members of the Senior Class and
only thirteen charactere i n the play,
only one-fourth of the class will be
sble to take part in the play. How
ever, some {jood props" will be found
in the remaining group, who. after all.
Play a large part, if not the largest, in
the success of the play. We are not
ye* revealing the name of the play, as
that w«U give a clue to the plot, so
juot use your Imagination to find
out what it is about. Everybody be
gin raving your pennies, so you can
come to tils promts!ngto-'be-det'ight
ful entertainment. We stroll expect
you, w> please, don’t disappoint us.
THE THREE MONKS
We see all—We hoar all—We tell all
Perhaps you noted the Statistics, on
the work done in our school by boys
who are members of the Boy Scouts
of America, in last week’s edition of
the Barks of the Bulldogs. If you
did then this will he of Interest to you
because you are probably interested
in the Boy Scouts and their work.
Not so long ago a certain youth, in
the Sophomore class, took his Scout
teat on cooking and ate the meal
which he cooked. But the next day!
Our good friend was confined to his
home on account of the illness of his
best friend. Yes,—you’ve guessed it;
he is his own best friend!
Wonder how many of the other
Freshmen and Sophomore Scouts had
the same thing happen to them as
happened to the aforesaid young man;*
who. by the way. works a* the Caro
lina Bagsying Mill Office on Mont
gomery Street.
Wonder wh&: blight has settled
upon our once but now gloomy
friend? This yoijng man, who, was
voted Henderson's high beat all-around
athlete lqst year, seems to have lost
interest in peeking through the key
hole during a certain period. Wlonder
if the report, which has been going
round the school, about an alleged
falling out between him and a certain
attractive young lady has anything
to do with it? Personally, we wouldn’t
think so. We have always thought
that the ladies wore crazy about our
star halfback our wonderful guard
and. our stik more wonderful short
stop. At least that was our impres
sion.
Who is the 1 Mystery Man of H. H.
S ? Well gather round close deer
rseader and open your ears and we
will whisper njhe secret. Can you
thing of a clapper young man who
wears a black hat? One who holds
one of the chairs of Science in H. H.
S. Yes. that’s him. He may look
like a vilUan in his dark hat when you
meet him In the dark, but we think he
has a heart of gold (Really, no sar
casm.) This young man, however, has
been very successful in eluding the
Three Monks. He is the only one of
the faculty who has to our knowledge
let hi* or her skeleton out of the clos
et . This fact has only served to
brighten our ambition and since we
are going to trail him in real earnest
we think we ought to warn him.
So. Dear reader, just be patient and
we promise that your patience will
