AND PROHIBITION It seems that tin* sex that was large ly Instrumental in puffing the ltMh ' amendment In our constitution, will be equally instrumental in taking said . cmendment out of It Since the days of Adam and Eve woman has consid ered it one of her rikost sacred rights , to change her nmd when and where j she planned Sometimes the results i of rhis flexibility of opinions and viewpoint have been bod and some- i times they have been good and some- l times they hav? been Jus* exasperat ing. i » We hope that ad the above will lead to. If not explain, the fact that, at the Jefferson Doy luncheon rally of the nation s leading Democrats, the only perron who mentioned prohibition was a woman Representative Mary F Noctan of New Jersey Representanve i Norton made quite a siab at prohi bition urging the abandonment of j the prohibition bureau; and saying ' that the noble experiment" had cost the American people T370.iV10.000 for i enforcement alone, not counting the j r* venue “which couM be had from a , .legalized tax on beers and wines; | while the coot in murders, suicides, j I crime, els, cannot be estimated." We wonder what conclusions we i ought to draw from this. Are wo men going wet. or Is it just that New Jersey is wet. or it th« country as a ; whole turning wet. or are the men just good enough politicians to leave the settlement of the delicate question up to the women? At any rate we can »ay that ir won * be long now before at least »ome of the questions will be anrwered A MATTER OF JUDGMENT Do all Seniors realize what a big step they are taking when they grad uate from high school? Up until the time one graduates from high school one's hie is a simple thing. From the tme we were mere infants until now our life has been more or lei»s jHa li ned and scheduled for its. From biitti Until the time we were five years old our life was practically lived for us. Thai was a stage of bliss due to inno cence and grand ignorance. When we reached the age of five or six we bad the prospect of seven years of grammar grade work before us. Each year after five saw an amazing in tar trials and problem*. After that came four years of high school educa tion probably th« harden, moot trying and yet in many ways the most en joyable period of our yet young life. Now. the time har. nearly come when we can look back over those three periods of our l'fe and sigh with re lief. relied that we have successfully pased through the problems and trials bo far; and yet with regret. regret that we are losing the simple plea sures of childhood and youth. Looking backward is all right but 1* doesn't get us anywhere.

Up until no\. ioQ»i of our important decisions have been mode for us Even now there are some of us who will probably still have decisions made for us, but the most of us will have to de cide for ourselves. And those deci sions mean a lot. Upon them Ivanga the future man or woman. Should we go to eolloge or should we not?

Can we meet them all fairly and decide for the best and the | *.igbt in every' case? This is a ques- j lion we should all ask ourselves. AN APPRO! RIATE SUBJECT I The Senior Engl sh Class Is now j studying a very appropriate subject. ! they are studying Emmerson’s "Se-llf- Fteiiance." Seniors should have now come to the Pk» ce where self-reliance means a lot to them, rom now or quite a few of us are going to have to rely on ourselves. It takes a man to believe that he can make a success of anything he rttempts. and thus meeit and admit failure, and yet go right on believing as he did before. Borne people say that it takes a fool to do that, but a fool never admit* failure, and the wise man does recognize it. If we fail once is that a reason w: -die 11 fail again? No, as long as w< liave self-r-eliance we will always see our way clear. It is when we give up and quit that clouds gather. FREEDOM OF AN ICEMAN An Oklahoma b.-eman gives the country something to think about. By deciding to become an Iceman he has brought up an issue which may be of decisive Importance in the economic ;,i ogre** of the United Stqtes. A grie) k <jfrthe case is this: thill man decided to become a> iceman, he was told that he couldn’t -since a State law made the ice busi ness a public utility and he would lave to obtain a state permit. Aft* long fight, the Supreme Court of •he L'nited States has ruled that he has an inalienable right to he an ice man. The two opposing sides give reasons or their stand. Justice Brandies or | prewes the opinion of the minority in ! the decision by advancing a bold doc- I trine favoring control of the compec rition by the State and picture*! the preoent crisis as “worse than war." He <*ays that thrre is strong doubt as to whether it is economically wise or morally right, that men should be per mitted to add to the producing faoili ;ies of an industry which is already suffering from overcapacity. The i majority opinion as expressed by Justice Southerlard says that the con- I trol under discussion does n ot protect | against monopoly, but tends to foster it. The aim is r.ot to encourage com petition. hut to prevent it, not to regu late the buoinssp, but to proelude per sons from engaging in it. What Is the meaning of this? Dots the stand of Braddies herald a turn ing point In the American govern ment and that or.e man can put aside th« constitution to express his own philosophy? Doea it mean that from new on there will be a stronger fight between stata and private ownership? Which stand Is right? HENDERSON, (N. C.,) DAILY DISPATCH, MONDAY, APRIL IS, 1932 CAMPI’M MIRROR This week cst rthoughts turn first to a tall, slender. Monde girl who is a member of the Senior Class. She is very attractive, neat; and fond of wearing sport clothes. She is hum orous and friendly and is liked by all the students and teachers; particu larly the math teacher. Her affairs with the opposite sex are somewhat tangled, therefore wo don’t know any thing definite &).out them Yet we know that these will turn out all right, because she usually comes out on the tap of everything that she undertakes. To ngike it clearer think of one of the mral members who was a very petty usher at the Senior Play. Also there is a medium-sized girl with dark, wavy hair and brown eyes in the mirror this week. She is al ways nicely drestsad; wearing spoil clothes moat of the time. Not only is -he nne of the most popular girls of the Class of ‘32. but she is one of the honor students, being considered one of the best Science pupils. She is one who does her best when she has some task to perform Playing flie part of Mrs. Jenkins in the Senior Play as she did. she took the eye of every one. There is no need to men* ion her love affairs, because everyone knows that her heart lies in Oxford. SPORTS | DOUBLE-PLAY Double-play: Smith to Jones to Brown. Such a sentence you may see every day in any paper which carries news. The double-play is one of the most common of rare th.ngs about a baseball game but there are always two or more made in every game of professional ball and thus its thrill is often overlooked. A team must be a good cne to be able to com plete double plays consistently. Os course there have ‘pecn successful teams which have gone through many games without making a single double play. But it. is a known fact lhat one v. ay in which you can judge the cal ibre of an infield is by the number of double-plays and t*he ease in which they are mode. It is taken for granted that any professional team can and does make a double and sometimes triple plays For an infield to make two pu>louts o n one batted ball there must be almost perfect timing and of course the other essentials are speed, skill, accuracy etc. The perfect timing requires long hours of constant practice. Ever since Henderson high school has had a baseball teem one of the hardest things for that team to do has been to complete a double-play. All amateur teams have the same dif ficulty because they are not suffi cient ly trained in the necessary essen tials of the game and thus the coach has to direct practice in fielding, hit- Lrg. etc . and the infield does not get the time to practice for that perfect timing. Bill Hight Cittiborne Inscoe and Edwards partcipaied in a double kill ing In a recent game with Bethel Hill All of these men make up part of our rookie infield am! they have thus far handled themselves well and give pro mise of a great future next year. You know of course of the now famous double-play which these same men pulled in a recent game! THE THREE MONKS We see oil—We hear *ll—Wc tell all The (£)rimp& of the freshman class seem to be getting together more now than ever before, the little girl is in home room three as are two of her ad mirers, she has brown hair and goes wish a toll girl who lives on Garnett St., and also is in home room three and has brown hair, her nick name i* i?) and they are both weH kupwn and liked by everyone in grades eight and nine.

One of the boys Ls real smell to be a fresh man In high school has brown hair acts funny and lives on Young Ave., as do two of the other boys, one who wears glasses and has a sister in the sophomore class and another who is a junior. He is in home room one and the other Young Ave.. resident is also small <but smart), has light hair and is in home room three, as is a red haired sheik who is president, of his home room and Was captain of the room three basketball team. He lives on Parham street and is about the right size for a freshman. All of the sheiks are boy scouts. The main girl in this story used to bo interested in a boy from Franklinlon but it seems that stork in the old home town has gone up for the young crowd.

JUNIOR SENIOR BANQUET The Juniors delightfully entertain ed the Seniors and Faculty at a ban quet given Friday evening, April IS. at 7:80 o’clock. Invitations were sent to the seniors in the form of an an nouncement of the "Junior Racket,” opening to be held that evening, thus the seniors knew not what to expect. SiamLng in the doorway of the Country dub a rectangle of tables could be seen placed from one aide of the rectangle made by the tables were two small tables. Lighted congles down the center of the tables gave a soft and pleasant light. Sweet peas and other spring flowers wore artistically arranged along the tables, mo&king one realize that spring was here and that the night was a true ‘‘MANY THANKS, MY LITTLE MISS!” ■P5* appro - JsKfr ymmmSm I'rc.-iui lit Hoov-r receives the lirst iiutiil/ poppy in Washington from Betty Joan Christian of Bentoa spring night- Other flowers were placed about the room in appropriate spots.

The program carried on throughout the evening was made up of first, a dance of the waiters.■ given by the waitresses selected from the sopho more class.

The student* were ihen overjoyed to see Miss Lily Kyle, math teacher l n the high school, tome to the center to give a reading, “Hew It Happened.” She is well known for her reading ability.

Just like the appetite for food, except tho victim wants not to eat, but to be eaten. He points as proof to the female spider who tn the act of love eats the male spider.

SOTI F T Y Katherine Faulkner, Editor CHAPEL PROGRAM The Sophomores and Freshmen at i ended oho pel Tuesday morning to hear Mr. Ems «u* address of the year. Mr. Elks chose as his subject the parable of the loaves and fiahes. He expounded tne parable more from the standpoint of Christs generosity than as a miracle. He showed how the spirit of generosily had been lurnded down through the ages a beau tiful illustration of how the knights of old dlstjlhuited gold to the rabble at tournaments. The npxt picture he presented to us was concerning a miser who loved his gold so that he wished to take it with him when he passed on. A kind friend told him that if he took the money with him i' would probably melt as the climate is so hot. Many other beautiful il lustrations were mad« of God’s great and generous gifts to us all, of every thing that ls worth while. Forceably reminding us that we are too prone to hoard our gifts and talents which should be used for the good of man kind, he closed with a prayer. CHAPEL PROGRAM On Friday morning, the Juniors and the Sophomores were entertained by the students from Miss Kyle’s home room. Francis Marlin read the Scrip ture and led in the Lord’s Prayer.
