NEWSPAPERS: EAGLES' VOICE - HAZEL HIGH SCHOOL (1929) EAGLES' VOICE - Newspaper of Hazel High School - December 13, 1929 - Vol. 1, no. 1 HAZEL HIGH BAND IS NOW ORGANIZED Seventeen Piece Band Is Being Instructed by Mr. Iris Forguson Hazel High School organized a seventeen piece band late in October 1929, and is progressing nicely under the instruction of Mr. Iris Forguson, a senior of Murray State Teachers College. The band was organized under the direction of Mr. Burnham, head of the music department at M.S.T.C. Our instructor has had four years band experience and is qualified because of his natural musical ability and experience at M.S.T.C. We are glad to have him as our instructor. The instruments were purchased by the members, but instructions are given free of charge. The band started with plenty of enthusiasm and has reported as doing fine. The students of Hazel High School are justly proud of it's band since it is the first community musical organization in Hazel and is believed that it will increase public interest in school work. The band is composed of the following persons and instruments: Hollis Walker, Edward Curd, A. T. Whitnol, Evelyn Wilson, trumpets; R. E. Orr, Elwood Black- burn, and Sam Boyd Neely, trombones; Charles James, alto; Charles Jones, baritone; W. D. Kelly, Jr., bass; U. S. Lamb and F.G. Melton, saxophones; Mrs. Wrather, Marthanna Mayer, and Pauline Paschall, clarinets; Enoch White and Juanita Allbritten, drums. All members of the band are manifesting interest in its work. The band practices two hours Tuesday and Thursday afternoons of each week. The personnel of the band seem to be proud of what they have accomplished this far. Each day they come to practice tooting horns and beating drums as though they were master of ceremonies but it is not long until they are called to attention and all of this pep is put into band practice. The band made its first appearance at chapel exercises in the new Hazel auditorium on December 5th. About thirty minutes was taken by band numbers. Also three quartets were arranged by various member of the band. Other students of the school have indicated interest in band work. It is believed that its members will be increased to twenty before long. MISS MARY SUE GARRET ENTERTAINS WITH PARTY Miss Mary Sue Garret entertained her friends with a party at the home of Mrs. D. N. White last Thursday evening. Music was furnished by the hostess and Miss Hazel Jones, a student of M.S.T.C. After a few hours of fun refreshments were served. FUTURE FARMERS CLUB ORGANIZED The vocational agriculture boys have just organized a Future Farmer Club, with help of our sponsor Mr. F. G. Melton. The officers of the club have already been elected. With Mr. Prentice Douglas President, Mr. R. E. Orr Vice-President, and Mr. W. D. Kelly, Secre- tary-Treasurer. An initiation was put over very successfully last Monday night, with the help of the officers and also the sponsor of the club. The initiation was to show the poor condition of farm and how they should be improved. Each member had to remove his shoes then was to go through the old farm before he had a right to become a member of the club. It gave the boys a complete idea how the farm should be improved. Also to encourage each student to spend at least 250 man-hours on his farm practice program this year. Encourage each member of the organization to have a bank account in his own name. To use and encourage others to use, whatever practical purebred sires, to feed and encourage others to feed a balanced ration, to encourage the use of lime for legume crops, and to encourage the use of certified seeds. To encourage boys who have dropped school to re-enter. To test free of charge samples of milk for patrons in the patronage area and help them to figure out a balanced ration based upon the number of pounds of milk the cow gives and the test of the milk. To organize a short course in agriculture for the farmers of the patronage area. To encourage a summer camp of not less that two days and nights for every member of the organization. To promote better farming through out the patronage area. The future farmers expect to do these things when called upon. MISS SALE ILL OF FLU On account to illness Miss Elsie Sale has not been able to be with us for the past few weeks. Both the faculty and students have missed her very much. The members of the French, American Literature, Algebra classes and the English Club have especially missed her. Her place has been filled by Miss Lucile Farmer, of Murray, Ky., who came to us after one week of Miss Sale's absence. She was like a ray of sunshine after a series of storms to the faculty as well as the students, as they were trying to carry on Miss Sale's work in addition to their own and examinations coming the next week. They had cause enough for wearing dark frowns on their faces but with Miss Farmer's appearance and shouldering part of the burden the faculty again learned to smile and things are going on nicely. We are surely grateful to Miss Farmer for her help. The students all wish Miss Sale a rapid recovery and a speedy return to H.H.S. _________________________________________________________________________________ EAGLES' VOICE Newspaper of Hazel High School, December 13, 1929, volume 1, no. 1 SENIORS OF 1929 Last year Hazel High School started seventeen seniors out into the field of life and as their Alma Mater she is still keeping tab on their actions with the same sincere interest wishes for their success that she has ever had and ever will have.

NEW AUDITORIUM IS WELL EQUIPPED Has Seating Capacity of 1000; Up-to-date In Every Respect. The Hazel High School auditorium has lately been equipped with other $2,000 worth of material consisting of chairs, bleachers, and two large stoves. The chairs are situated in the middle of the building and are movable, while the bleachers run along the east and west sides of the wall. There are over four hundred chairs and the bleachers will hold five hundred people. It is estimated that both chairs and bleachers will seat a thousand people. The stoves, which are of the hot air type, are located in each end of the building. They are thought to be two of the best stoves on the market. In a few months we expect to have one of the best auditoriums in the state. The receipts of the basketball games and other programs will go to further equip the school. ---------------------------------- Mrs. Riley Miller and Mrs. J. E. Edwards who have charge of the Red Cross drive in our town visted the school Wednesday morning. Mrs. Miller made a very interesting talk to the students. Her subject was "What Ever You Mean to do in Life, Start Now". PROGRAMS GIVEN ON AGRICULTURE Beginning January 6, 1930, the different agriculture teachers of the county, assisted by several prominent persons in the county, will give a short course in agriculture at the various schools in the county. There will be four courses given at each school. L. E. Radford, who is an upstanding sweet clover grower; Leslie Ellis and C. E. Clark, who are among the best tobacco growers in the county, will appear on the programs. T. S. Arnett will talk on winter feeding and tobacco diseases. L. E. Radford will lead a discussion of lime, legumes, and phosphates. C. E. Clark will talk on the subject of tobacco. S. E. Wrather will discuss breeding and care of milk. O. W. Barker, manure and cattle diseases. Leslie Ellis will talk about tobacco. Ed Neihoff, legumes and crop rotation. F. G. Melton, commercial and other fertilizers. These talks should appeal to every one interested in agriculture. This is for the benefit of the farmers and future farmers of Calloway County. Everyone of you should attend these courses and thereby gain more knowledge of "bigger and better farming". The program for the short course will be as follows: Faxon, January 6, 8, 13, 15; Kirksey, January 7, 9, 14, 16; Lynn Grove, January 20, 22, 27, 29; Almo, January 21, 23, 28, 30; Concord, February 3, 5, 10, 12; Hazel, February 4, 6, 11, 13 MUSIC STUDENTS OF MRS. CHAS. POOL GIVE PROGRAM One of the most enjoyable programs of the season was that one rendered by the Hazel High School and grade pupils of Mrs. Chas. Pool, from Murray, on Friday morning, November 15, which was held in the high school auditorium. It was thought a success by those who heard it. The program was as follows: Scripture reading -- Gertrude Vance. Prayer -- Prof. M. O. Wrather. Piano solo, "Cinderella Waltz" -- Audrey Oliver. Vocal duet, "Whispering Hope" -- Marthanna Mayer and Mildred Patterson. Piano solo, "Oh So Pure" -- Elizabeth Walker. Vocal solo, "Hearts Bowed Down" -- Madeline Lamb. Piano solo, "Egyptian March" -- Mildred Miller. Piano solo, "The Dance Begins" -- Annie Lou Herron. Vocal solo, "Ole Sole Mio" -- Mildred Patterson. Piano solo, "Scarf Dance" -- Marthanna Mayer. The music club under the direction of Mrs. Chas. Pool from Murray, is improving nicely. The class consists of about twelve members. It has increased in number radpidly. The pupils are interested in piano, art, voice, and expression. Besides teaching these various things she also teaches wind and string instruments. Mrs. Pool is highly qualified and we think we are very fortunate in getting her. STATE INSPECTOR VISITS SCHOOL Inspector G. I. Barnes Reports Standing of School May Easily Be Raised. Hazel High School ranks above the average for a B class school, so says G. I. Barnes, State Inspector of High Schools. Mr. Barnes honored our school with an all day visit a short time ago. In fact he tells us that with only a small improvement in each department, our school will be placed upon the A list. Mr. Barnes seemed pleased with the equipment of the Home Economic department. We, too, are quite proud of this department, we realize that the purchase of our three stoves, three sewing machines and other necessary articles represents quite an outlay of funds, but when we think that by only the additional purchase of one sewing machine, this department will be raised to an A level, we feel assured that the purchase will be made in a short while. The boys were delighted to have the inspector visit the agricultural and science laboratory, which is satisfactorily equipped for the present rating of the school, but the boys say that if the Economic department can soar higher by a little extra effort, then So here's to the future of an A class school for the Hazel plant. HOME EC GIRLS EQUIP OFFICE The Home Economics class of Hazel High School spent one week in equipping Prof. Wrather's office. The class was divided and each division appointed special work. $8.00 was given the class to purchase the needed articles in furnishing the office. It is now equipped with a rug in various colors with gray as the background. The walls are calcimined in cream and curtains were purchased to harmonize with the walls and rug. A desk telephone, stove and other things have also been installed. The class is pleased with the result of this project and feels that it proves a successful one. JUNIOR HIGH ENTERTAINS The Junior high students gave a very interesting program Thursday morning November 21. It was given in the high school auditorium and was sponsored by their teacher, Mrs. Chas. Denham. This program was very closely connected with Thanksgiving. The program consisted of Scripture reading, prayer, songs, and a short play. Those taking part in the exercise were: Anna Mae Holifield, Buenell Irwin, Jack White, Joe Hal France, Linda White, Minnie Marshall, Emily Miller, Buthul Tucker, and Otis Hatcher. ORIGIN OF REVEREND The earliest record of "Reverend" for clergyman is in the English parish registers of 1657. _________________________________________________________________________________ Published monthly by student body of Hazel High School Application made for entry as second class matter at the post office, Hazel, Ky.

Lamb Celia Miller Enoch White CULLING POULTRY Culling poultry is very important at all times of the year, but especially in the fall for this reason. If a person does not cull his birds he will no doubt carry over birds through the winter that will not produce him any profit. The following are general rules for culling poultry. Layer 1. Pen bones (pelvic or lay bones) wide apart. 2. Vent pale and pliable 3. Large full bright red comb and wattles. 4. Pale yellow to white beak and shanks. Loafer 1. Pen bones close together. 2. Vent yellow and puckered. 3. Pale shriveled comb and ??? To lay well a hen must have a sound body and must be vigorous and healthy. Characteristics of a hen of high and low vitality. High Vitality 1. Broad deep head. 2. Bright prominent eye. 3. Long deep body. 4. Strong parallel legs. 5. Stylish carriage. 6. Active disposition. Low Vitality 1. Long slim head. 2. Dull sunken eyes. 3. Short shallow body. 4. Knock kneed. 5. Droopy appearance. 6. Lazy, sluggish dispostion. A laying hen has a large, moist vent, showing a dilated condition and looseness as compared with the hard, puckered vent of a non-laying hen. Just below the vent are the two pen or pelvic bones, one on each side, projecting towards the rear. By placing the fingers, flat between these bones, the width apart can be determined. If the ends of the bones are soft and pliable and the width of two or three ordinary fingers can be placed between them, the hen is, in all probability, laying at the time of examination. If the bones are close together and the points hard, the bird is probably not laying. If the comb, wattles and ear lobes are large, full and smooth, or hard and knotty, the bird is laying heavily. If the comb is limp the bird is only laying slightly, but is not laying at all when the comb is dried down, especially at molting time. It is very necessary to watch your flock this period of the year, because a hen that is not laying now is likely to be a boarder all winter. Such birds represent financial losses of the poultry enterprise. WINTER FEED FOR THE DAIRY COW During the winter cows should be fed more feeds containing carbohydrates, because they furnish the heat and energy for the body of the cow. The ration of the dairy cow will vary according to the temperature and the pro- tection of the building. However the most expensive and usually the most lacking part of the ration is pro- tein. This is furnished by the richest feeds as cottonseed meal, linseed meal, shorts, etc. As a general rule cows should be fed a ration that is 18-20 per cent protein, depending on the amount of milk she is giving. A heavy milker in full laction can handle a 20 per cent protein feed. The protein content should de- crease as the flow of milk decreases, until it reaches 18 per cent. Adding the protein content of all feeds used and dividing the total by the number of feeds. 20.8 per cent is about the right per cent for a heavy producing dairy cow in a full flow of milk. When possible cows should always be fed protein rich roughages, commonly called legumes. They are high in protein and minerals as compared to other roughages. DISEASE COMMON AMONG CATTLE The most common diseases of cattle are indigestion, milk fever, garget and the imaginary diseases. The disease that affects cattle mostly at this time of the year is indigestion. There are two forms of indigestion--one caused by drinking cold water and the other by feeds that cause gas in the stomach. The indigestion caused by drinking too much cold water, usually referred to as colic, usually starts immediately after the animal has drunk the water. It usually comes on the animal with a trembling or fit before the cramps come on. A good treatment is, first, walk the animal about ten minutes. This renders it safer to give medicine. If this does not relieve the cramps, one may give one ounce of sulphuric ether and 1 ounce of tincture of opium, shaken up with a pint of warm water. The other indigestion is caused by feeding damaged feed, and by overloading the stomach. Two ounces of camomile flowers should be boiled for 20 minutes in a quart of water and the infusion on cooling should be given to the affected animal. This may be repeated three or four times a day. Milk fever is a disease that follows freshening of the cow, and usually occurs in mature cows that are heavy producers. The city stall-fed cow has the disease oftener that a cow on pasture, as confinement in the stall is an accessory cause, partly because stabled cattle are highly fed, partly because the air is hotter and fouler, and partly because the cow gets little exercise. On taking the disease, the cow seems dull, hangs back in the stall and sometimes holds the head in a drooping position. The cow may lie on her breast bone with her feet under her body and head turned sleepily around, with the nose resting on the right flank; or, if worse, she may be stretched full on her side. The breathing is quickened and at first associated with moaning. The treatment usually given is inflating the udder with pure air. Sometimes the udder is filled with well-boiled water. To get the best results the treatments should be applied only by one who has been trained in the careful antiseptic methods. Garget usually appears in heavy milkers, before and just after freshening. It is the rule that the mammary gland is enlarged, hot, tense, and tender. The disease appears in two or three days when the secretion of milk has been fully established. This breaking up of the disease may be hastened by rubbing the udder with the palm of the hand. There are a few imaginary diseases of cattle. These include hollow horn, loss of cud and wolf in the tail. Many farmers think that their cows have hollow horn when if the truth about the matter were known, it would be found that something else was the matter. When the horns are hot it is evident that the cow has some disease causing her to have fever. The so-called loss of cud is simply a cessation of rumination, frequently one of first indications of some form of disease since ruminants stop chewing the cud when they feel sick. No local treatment is required. Wolf in the tail is a term applied to various disturbances of the digestive func- tions, or to some disease which is in reality in the stomach or bowels. EAGLES' VOICE - Page 2 (Hazel High School Newspaper) OLD BUILDING REMODELED The students of Hazel high school are proud of the new building, but are just as proud of the old one since it was remodeled last summer. It was remodeled up- stairs and down by the rooms being divided into class rooms with the proper lighting and ventilation. The entrance of the building was changed to the center of the front. There is a hall running in a direct course from the entrance to the back. The downstairs is divided into four rooms which are entered into from the hall. The upstairs was changed quite a lot also. The large study hall was changed into a medium sized one and two class rooms. The study hall is lighted well with a large group of windows in the back of the hall. After changing the arrangement of the building, the workers did not paint the rooms. So then by the effort of Prof. Wrather, we secured the paint for the builing from the county school board. The boys and girls in the high school de- partment put this job over with their own brawn and muscle. The rooms were painted a cream color with baseboards dark brown. We will always try to do all we can ourselves, because the old saying is, "People help those who help them- selves". ------------------------------ Miss Polly Denham is in Clinton, Tenn., this week visiting her sister, Mrs. C. D. Paschall and family. Miss Lula Paschall who is attending school at the Murray College, spent the week- end with home folks. Wilburn Hurt, who has been in the Mason Hospital for several weeks, has returned home. Mrs. W. H. Miller, spent Thursday in Paris visiting friends. Mr. & Mrs. J. R. Miller and sons, James Parker & Robert Obe, spent Saturday in Paducah. Miss Willis Orr, who is attending school in Jackson, Tenn., spent Thanksgiving with her parents, Mr. & Mrs. Rupert Orr, south of town. Miss Gennie Oliver, of Paris, was the guest of her sister, Mrs. H. F. Rose a few days last week. HOME ECONOMICS MUCH IMPROVED The Home Economics department of the Hazel high school is much improved over that of previous years. The teacher is Mrs. M. O. Wrather. She received her training at the Western Kentucky Teachers College and Murray State Teachers College. We have in our department five nickel-zinc top tables made to accomodate four girls. The cooking utensils were donated by the patrons of the community through a miscellaneous shower which was sponsored by the two classes by means of a con- test. We have three stoves, three machines and a wardrobe and our library consists of about sixty-five books and a number of bulletins which aid us in carrying on our work more successfully. Recently a sink and running water has been installed, making our equipment up-to-date. The high school inspector, Mr. Ivan G. Barnes, visited our department some time ago, complimenting it very highly and suggested that we make a dressing screen and purchase another sewing machine which would make our department up to the standard. We now have our screen completed. The frame was made by the agri- culture class and covered by the home ec girls, and we are putting forth an effort to purchase another sewing machine before the next semester. Our class consists of twenty girls each of whom seem very much interested in their work. The first unit for the year was food preservation and in the fair held here. The class won first prize for having the three best cans of vegetables, also a prize for the best cans of fruit. Our study of budgeting, which was the second unit, was very much dreaded by the girls at first but after getting into a deep study of it we found we were in some- thing worth while and there was more interest taken. An inventory was made out by the girls and a plan how to buy clothes and articles needed the most economical way. We are now keeping an expense account for the year and are just beginning to realize the importance of this unit. It causes us to be more thoughtful in our buying. Some beautiful woolen dresses were made next. Perhaps the most enjoyable of our work so far this year was the Christmas project. We were very fortunate to get Mrs. John Ryan of Murray, to aid us in this work. She spent one day with us, bringing with her many simple gifts that could be made at little expense. For the past two weeks we have been making door stops, letter holder, and candles. This department was organized four years ago by Mrs. Wrather, although it must have been a great struggle as funds were limited. ------------------------------- Mr. and Mrs. Hoyt Lamb and children of Frankfort, Ky., are here on a visit to their parents, Mr. & Mrs. Jim Lamb, and Mrs. Lamb's grandparents, Mr. & Mrs. R.

HAZEL SCHOOL FACULTY IS WELL QUALIFIED We have started on what we feel sure will prove to be one of the most successful school years Hazel high has ever had. We have a highly qualified faculty to guide us in our studies and we also have a local board that is always on the job when the job is helping Hazel high in any way. The faculty is composed of the same teachers as last year with the exception of music instructor. The members of the faculty are: Prof. M. O. Wrather, principal, who has a B.S. degree from M.S.T.C., also graduate work at Peabody; Mrs. M. O. Wrather, life certificate, M.S.T.C.; Miss Elsie Sales, B.A. degree, Phillips Uni- versity, Okla.; Frank G. Melton, B.S. degree, agriculture, University of Kentucky; Mrs. Charlie Denham, life certificate M.S.T.C., has charge of the 7th and 8th grades; Miss Frances Vaughn, life certificate M.S.T.C., has charge of inter- mediate grades; Miss Lorena Wilcox, a student of M.S.T.C., has charge of primary grades and Mrs. Poole, instructor of music, voice, expression and art. This place was held last year by Miss Carnell McRee, of Cottage Grove, Tenn. The local board that is backing us this year is composed of the following gentle- men: T. W. Doherty, chairman; Dr. W. F. Grubbs, Pleas Morgan, C. W. Curd and Dr. E. W. Miller. The county board is also aiding us to reach the goal of a successful school year. It is composed of Dr. C. H. Jones, chairman; Dr. L. D. Hale, vice chairman; Harry Wilcox, G. M. Potts and Joe Montgomery, whose term expires in January. He will be succeeded by Mr. Gardie Lassiter. With this faculty who are always willing and ready to help us over any stumbling blocks that appear in our path and both these boards to give the backing and help that the faculty can't, what can the pupils of Hazel high do but make it a successful year? NEW STAGE CURTAIN INSTALLED BY P.T.A. The Hazel high auditorium has a new curtain, the best high school curtain in the county. The curtain is in the school colors, blue and gold. It was purchased by the Parent-Teachers' Association, directed by Mrs. Frye Rose. The curtain is of the best material for a curtain. It is made of velour of the finest quality. The curtain was made by the home ec. girls and the hanging was headed by Mr. Elwood Blackburn and Miss Edna Blackburn, both students who have had experience of this kind. It is hung in the latest style by the sliding plan, or it works on a large rod and slides from the center back to each side. The members of the P.-T.A. who helped select and purchase the material were: Mrs. Riley Miller, Mrs. Bob Hicks, and Mrs. Frye Rose. The student body expresses its appreciation for the curtains and will try to take the best of care of it. These colors of the curtain are old gold and royal blue of the prettiest shade. Near the top of the curtain in the center is a large "H" in gold colors on a blue back- ground. EAGLES VOICE - PAGE 3 INTERMEDIATE NEWS The pupils of the intermediate grade the first six weeks were not so proud of their report cards. But before time came for the next sixth week report many children were found carrying books home, and studying more at home and also at school. As a result there was a great improvement. All were proud to carry books home for the parents were pleased as well. The students that made all grades of A were Celia Miller, Virginia Miller, and Mary Frances White. These students were prouder of their report cards the last six weeks than the first. Also our teacher is proud of us and the report cards. Each member of the fifth grade has been traveling in geography land. Every boy and girl has visited a state in the New England, Middle Atlantic, and South Atlantic States. After returning from their trip a comparison was made and they found states of each group were very much alike in their industries, climate, and sur- faces. They then drew the states they visited and placed in it the most important industries, capitol, climate and etc. After each had drawn their state they were then pasted on a cardboard in groups and compared with the group in their geo- graphies and though not exactly true they resembled ones in their book. Proud of their travels they wanted to take another trip. So their next trip will be to the South. The sixth grade divided into groups and made reading booklets. They selected the poem of "Out To Old Aunt Mary's". Pictures of different scenes of the poem were brought in by members of the groups and the best pictures were chosen to put into the booklets. Then the passages that suggested the pictures were picked out and written below the picture. Great excitement filled each member of the class while the judges were grading the booklets. Each group wondering whether his or her booklet would be chosen. Finally after a few minutes of waiting the judge came out and announced the winners. Brent Webb and William King. Although the second winners lost, they were glad to be in the race. After History was finished and the sixth grade was reviewing over the book, a large poster was to be made on the Civil War. All the important generals of the south were to have a report written on their lives, also the northern generals were to be reported on. Many famous battles that were fought were described and the pictures of the battles were found and placed above the report of the battle. The flags of both the Union and Confederacy were found and placed under the pre- sidents of the union and confederates. The chart will be hung on the wall of the intermediate room. Later they will take up other important wars and more impor- tant men's lives. Many pictures of Lee and his army and of Grant and his army were found. A good theme was written on Lincoln and his kindness to southern soldiers. After many days of regret and remorse in the hearts of the intermediate girls, they decided they wanted a basketball. They permitted two girls of the seventh and eighth grades to play, to make the sides even. The ball court in the front school lawn, being deserted, they decided to use it. Having finally made enough money for the ball, it was ordered and came in. Many pleasant days were spent playing ball, but at last bad weather came and the games had to be omitted but they are looking forward to spring. The intermediate room's traveling library came and every one is enjoying reading the good books. Some of the pupils along in their studies are helped by them. The fifth grade pupils are studying about the Pilgrims and Puritans. They found in the library a book of the early life of these people. Also the sixth grade have been studying about Grant and Lee, and a book of Grant and Lee were dis- covered in the library. Some of the pupils brought books from their homes which increased the number in the library. To promote their good English, the fourth grade made pictures of rainbows. The ones that filled out blanks with the correct form of lie and lay reaching the shining pot of gold. The ones that filled out the blanks correctly got their rainbows put upon the wall. The ones that did not fill out the blanks correctly failed to find the shining pot of gold. The ones to reach the pot of gold were Roy Mae Hart, Dallas Miller, and William Hughes. They are proud of their im- provement in English. They are trying to improve their English so they may talk more correctly. GIRLS QUINTET DOWNS BENTON, SCORE 17-6 Hazel girls defeated the Benton five by a score of 17 to 6 in the Hazel gymnasium Friday night Nov. 22. The Hazel girls out played the Benton quintet all through the game holding the lead from the start to the end. The score at the first quarter was three to one, and this was the tightest part of the game with both teams being fresh. In the second quarter, Hazel scored two more field goals while Benton gained only one point. When the whistle blew for the half the score was 7 to 2. After several minutes rest the game began again. Hazel scored only two points and and Benton none at the close of the third quarter, the score stood nine to two. The fourth quarter was a free for all hitting contest. Benton gained two field goals and Hazel made four, winning by a score of 17 to 6. Vaughan starred for Benton making three points. Benton Pos.

H. Pigue and family have moved to their home out near Harris Grove, Ky. J. M. Marshall was in Murray Friday on business. Guy Fields, of Fulton, Ky., was in town Friday on business. A. B. Casey and Mr. Bogsby, of Paris, were in town Thursday in interest of insurance work. Fred Barber, of Murray, was in town Monday on business. ATHLETIC NOTES The girls of Hazel were fortunate this year in losing only one letter player and we are glad to say have walked off with three out of five games, being unsuc- cessful in their attempts to wallop Concord Nov. 15, losing by the score of 7 to 10 in a see-saw battle up and down the floor at the New Concord gymnasium. They were also defeated by Brewers after keeping the lead the first half. The three victims who have fallen under the Eagles claws are the Almo quintet, the Farming- ton girls and the Benton five. We of the staff believe that if they have the amount of support in the future that they should have and the support that we could give them they will make still a better record. Our slogan should be "Support Your Teams". With the good coaching of Mr. Wrather and the school behind them just watch them improve. Those who made the squad this year are as follows: Captain Dathal Chrisman, Clara White Wilcox, Madeline Lamb, Leva St. John, Melva Walls, Francis Wilson, Mildred Patterson, Geraldine Hart. Considering the fact that we lost three lettermen last year our team is making rapid progress under the careful coaching of Mr. F. G. Melton, and will fight to win honors at the Callaway County Basketball Meet at the close of the season. The championship was won last year by the Almo high school with New Concord as runner-up. The contest lasted three nights with a large attendance each night, the proceeds going to the schools in Calloway county. The men who made the squad this year for Hazel are as follows: Captain Morris Lamb, John Brent Underwood, Edgar Maddox, W. D. Kelly, Jr. Carl- ton Buchanan, Brent Phillips, Lester Dunn, and Ben Grubbs. HAZEL DEFEATS PURYEAR 19-15 Monday afternoon, November 18, Hazel high school defeated Puryear high by a score of 19 to 15 in a hard fought game at Hazel. The Hazel Eagles played a better game the last half. Hazel was in the lead at the end of the first quarter. When the whistle blew for the half the score was ten to ten. The third quarter found the Eagle's quintet again in the lead, holding it till the whistle blew for the game. Buchanan played best for Hazel while Potts starred for Puryear. Approximately one hundred and twenty-five fans witnessed the contest. The line up was as follows: Puryear Pos. Hazel Mayes F Maddox Underwood F Underwood Potts C Dunn Valentine G Buchanan Morgan G Kelley Substitutions: Puryear, Capps for Potts, Alexander for Morgan; Hazel, Phillips for Dunn, Phillips for Buchanan. Referee--Wrather. A second game was played in which the Hazel Eagletts were defeated for the second time of the season by a score of 8 to 4 by the Puryear Midgets. _________________________________________ Harold White, of Murray, was in town Thursday. EAGLES VOICE - PAGE 3 HAZEL EAGLES DEFEAT BENTON NOVEMBER 22 The most exciting game the Hazel five have played this year was the contest with the Benton boys. Hazel defeated them, after it was decided to play three extra minutes, by the small margin of one point. November 22 marks a very important date in the history of Hazel High School ath- letics. The Hazel boys shot a goal in the last quarter as the whistle blew and it could not be decided whether it should count or not. The score before the ball was thrown was 11 to 10 in favor of Benton. If the field goat should count the game would go to Hazel by a score of 11 to 12. The coaches of both teams met together with Referee Holland and time keeper Wrather and held an intermission of fifteen or twenty minutes and decided to play the extra three minutes. The Hazel quintet during this time scored one field goal and a free shot while Benton gained only 1 goal. The score by quarters was as follows: First quarter: 4 to 2 with Benton in the lead. Second: 6 to 3 in favor of Ben- ton. Third: 10 to 5. At this point of the game it seemed that Benton had the game in a bag. But the home boys probably felt inspired by the victory of the H. H. S. girls for they went to playing in earnest. In the fourth quarter Hazel steadily gained and as stated the end of the game came with a disagreement as to the score. The line up was as follows: Hazel Pos. Benton Underwood F Boggs Lamb F J.S. Strong Dunn C Heath Buchanan G W. Strong Kelly G C. Ely Substitutes: Benton--Fisher for Boggs; Ely for Heath. Officials--Referee, Holland; Time keeper, Wrather. DISCUSSES FEEDING SCHOOL CHILDREN "Food for the School Child", a circular written by Florence Imlay, of the College of Agriculture of the University of Kentucky, contains many suggestions about feeding children. A school child's diet should included daily one quart of milk, one whole cereal, one cooked vegetable besides potatoes, one raw vegetable, two fruits, one of which is raw, and an egg. Green leaf vegetables should be served three times a week and meat or fish three times a week, according to Miss Imlay. There is much valuable material about food, eating habits, school lunches, and other problems. Mothers should ask their home demonstration agent for a copy of the circular, which is No. 226 or write to the College at Lexington. _______________________________________ Joe Allbritten, of Murray, spent Saturday and Sunday here as the guest of his sis- ter, Mrs. Ada Marshall.

Melton, agriculture teacher at Hazel high school, and four of his agriculture students, J. Y. Brandon, Cyril Wilson, Ralph White and Ralph Edwards, drove over to Hopkinsville, Ky. on November 22, to see a great tobacco show and also carried 15 samples of tobacco to the show. On Friday, November 22, they left Hazel about 6:30 a. m. and arrived at Hopkinsville about 9:15 and just in time to enter their sample in the contest. After the judging of the tobacco was over, they went in to see if they won any prizes in the contest. After lunch they went down to the association house and talked with the secretary and treasurer of the association. As every boy along was in the association, they were anxious to know if they were going to get any more of the money that the association owes them for their tobacco. The secretary of the association had nine persons writing checks for the 1922 crop, to all members who had tobacco in the association. The secretary said that they were planning on getting all checks for the 1922 crop sent out by Christmas and checks for later crops would all be out in six months, and also every fellow would get every penny his tobacco brought, after expenses for selling were taken out. About two o'clock they went to the Alhambra Theatre. Their admission was free as every boy that entered a sample of tobacco and was an agricultural student was given a ticket to the theatre. They left Hopkinsville about 4:30 p. m. and arrived at Hazel about 7:00 p. m., just in time to see Benton and Hazel play in a game of basketball. ____________________________________________ Mrs. Lenard Adams, and other relatives and friends.
