HAIGLER HIGH SCHOOL WINS
JUNIOR TRACK CHAMPIONSHIP
All Schools of the Frenchman
Valley
Conference Were Present At the Meet
Coach Eller
and his tracksters journeyed to
Imperial last Saturday, where they spent the day competing in an
interesting
track meet. All the schools of the Frenchman Valley Conference were at
the
meet. The contestants from the larger schools formed the Senior
Conference, and
those from the smaller schools formed the Junior Conference. Haigler
competed
against Max, Parks and Hamlet. Haigler won first place and a beautiful
trophy,
Max was second, Parks third and Hamlet fourth.
Much
credit is due the boys under the direction of Mr. Eller for their good
work in winning the meet. It certainly was an inspiration to stand and
watch
these lads from Haigler give the best for their school. Every boy
competing for
Haigler helped to win the meet, which fact indicates that Haigler has a
well balanced team. The work of every boy was. fine. We are
proud
of the fact that Paul Wood put the shot forty feet seven inches,
hanging up the
second highest mark of all schools competing in both Junior and Senior
Conferences.
These
facts indicate that Haigler can do something in athletics when
competing
on even terms with other teams. Why not make up our minds that Haigler
will have a Gymnasium for the next school
year? What do you say patrons of the school?
LET’S
GO!
The
following boys competed: Paul Wood, Voland Schmutte, Lyle Scrivner,
Garold Karns,
Willard Catlett, Stewart Catlett, Everett Dixon, Troil Welton, Floyd
Evans and
Orville Marshall.

METHODIST CHURCH
NOTES
Our
Revival is in full swing at Parks with
Rev. John T Maynard as the evangelist. He is, at the time of writing
this not,
preaching to capacity congregations and the Lord is saying folks. Dear
reader,
mark this: the day of
revival has NOT past. These meetings will continue as long as the
Lord blesses our efforts as he is now doing.
Come and see for your self what the Lord is
doing. On account of these meetings, the pastor will not preach at
Haigler next Sunday night. The morning service will be held as usual.
And don’t
forget the Sunday School; give it your whole hearted support. See that
your
children are there. Court records
show that an overwhelming percentage of the criminals of our country
were never
in attendance at Sunday School and Church during the period of
character
building. See that your children are in Sunday School; better yet, go
along
with them and then encourage them to remain for church service. Get the
salvation of your children and young people on your hearts and then you
will be
praying for them that God may
find an entrance into their lives. Only a
few weeks now until we begin
our revival meeting here at Haigler. Brethren all you who want a
genuine
revival here should be praying definitely for the baptism of the Holy
Spirit
upon the community. Prayer does change things.
