He included in his program character impersonations from “Down to the Capital,” “Knee Deep in June” and “Nothing to Say.” Mr. Snethen has a droll and whimisical fashion of reading poetry which fits Rileys “homespun” poetry very well. The entire club enjoyed this unusual program very much.

Speedway Christian Church Rev. Howard Anderson Minister SUNDAY SERVICES 9:30 A. M First Morning Service 11:00 A. M. Second Morning Service 4:30 P. M.Vesper Hour Our church is at last ready to launch itself into the final phases of a campaign for an extension of its present building facilities. For sometime now we have been aware of the fact that our building was not large enough to house our growing church school. During this period of time the official board and appointed committees have been planning for an extension of the building to house educational rooms for the school. In addition to this it is planned to brick or stone veneer our building to make it more permanent and beautiful. How much of this work we can accomplish in the immediate future will depend upon the response of the membership of the church and the community to the financial program which will be entailed. Many people have been asking questions about the amount of money which will be needed and the amount of work which is contemplated on the building. Next Sunday morning the 9:30 service will be set aside to answer these questions. Immediately following the class sessions the congregation will convene as a group to hear the chairman of the official board and the minister outline the complete projected program up to date. Everyone in the church and the community is cordially invited to this open session to discuss our building program. The 9:30 service will close with JJ?K SI^ b L th f , chancel choir the service of Holy Communion. The 11:00 o clock service will, as usual be a service of worship wdh a short message from the minister in addition to the music by the chancel choir. _. « Ch anters To Sing For Vespers the Murat Chanters, a men's choral group of thirty voices will present a program of music at the 4:30 vesper services next Sunday afternoon.

School News (Marcy Mann) Hello, folksies! Sh-sh-don’t make any noise, I’m looking around to see if I can hear any “gab” to put into my column this week. (That sounds kinda silly, doesn’t it?) Oh, oh, there are two very interesting scholars, maybe they know something. Say, this sounds good—they say there’s going to be—of course, why didn’t 1 think of that) There’s going to be a Home Coming game tonight at good old S.H.S.! Don’t you remember? We had one last year, too! Hot diggety' I’m sure goin’ to be here! (Say, I’d„ better get closer, so I can hear what else they’re saying about it.) Ah, yes, we’re going to play Avon, and there’ll be two games—uh—at seven and eight o’clock! Whee! A double feature, and everything! Boy, won’t we have a swell time tonight! “Will you go with me, kid? I’ve got two tickets.”—Oh, excuse me, pal, I didn't intend to put that in—gee! Lucky Let’s see—what’s this? It looks like an old maid’s convention— Ah! Some more news—l hope! Hm-m-m-m! They’re ’cussing’ and discussing the tourney! Seems as though the New Augusta Red Devils beat ' Speedway by 32-25. Shucks! Ah, but the Sectionals are coming! Who are the county champs? Decatur Central? What again! They must have some team!

Well, here we are at the Home Ec Department! Well, I’ll be doggoned! Say. what are you doing in there? Cleaning? Well, all I can say is, I’m sure glad I’m not taking Home Ec. What, I said I wanted to take it last week? Yes, but that was ‘last week, before you had to clean the whole place up. Say, it looks awfully nice though. I sure do like those new stoves. Four of them, aren’t there? Gas stoves, too. Say, that’s alright! And the floor, boy, that’s really grand! Well, you hurry and get this room cleaned, and I’ll come in next week, and get another report. Say, these Freshmen boys seem rather glum, today. I wonder what’s wrong. What did. you say, pardner? They lost a game Tuesday? Oh, that’s a shame. Who to? Shortridge? Well, they’re a pretty tough team to beat. I hear we were one point ahead of them at the half. What was the final score? 26-17—say that’s not at all bad. Oh, oh, I see some disappointed faces today—l’ve also been looking in the mirror at mine. No it’s not dirty! It looks sorta disap-

pointeci, too! It seems like the report cards were handed out yesterday, and all over the school you hear, “I deserved better than that,” ‘Boy, did I get a lecture at home,” Say, I got all A’s this time,” and Dog-gone-it! I should have tried harder!” Which all goes to show you, Speedway High School is full of “regular fellows!” I’m getting rather tired walking around, so I think I’d better go on to class—the bell’s about to ring anyway so—so long! See you next week.
