School Spirit
Do you have school spirit?
The urge to win a ball game?
The pride that refuses to
Let you write on the desks?
Throw paper on the lawn?
For the sake of your school,
Do you pat your team on the back,
Even when they've lost that
Close game?
And do you take pride in your
School work, the grades you obtain?
In many places we have all
Fallen, but nobody says you
Can't try again.
______________
Seasons
by Clarence E. FLYNN
The weather, that great friend of man
Follows a check and balance plan.
The winter frosts me all about,
Then summer comes and throws me out.
When summer's warmth begins to strain,
The winter cools me off again.
A splendid plan. All honor to it.
The trouble is, both over do it.
____________________
The Many
by Edgar A. Guest
Some talent to each one allowed,
Some place to fill from day to day.
While able all with strength endowed
To serve as each shall see the way.
The few, from cradle to the grave,
The path to fame or wealth may find,
But all the many van be brave
And to the troubled can be kind.
Not all the greatest sums can give,
Not all the most to aid can do.
But all of us the while we live,
Can to the faith we hold be true.
Tis not for wealth or fame alone.
The soul will praise from GOD deserve
But to the courage that was shown,
And for the willingness to serve.

High School Newspaper
I love the paper.
I read all the ads,
I think it's swell.
I note all the news,
The day it comes out
I take all the fads.
I run pell-mell
When I praise the paper,
To get my copy and read each line.
I scorn those who laugh.
The stories and columns
I'm really loyal.
I think are fine.
I'm on the staff!
I laugh at the jokes,

ADVISE TO THE LOVE-LORN
Dear Aunt Phoebe,
I am a sophomore and in love with several boys, but it seems like they don't know that I exist. Could you please tell me what to do?
B.P.
*********************
Dear B.P.
It seems as though you are trying to get them all. Why don't you just set tight and don't try to get a boy-friend, but let the boy try to get you.
I assure you will have good-luck.
Aunt Phoebe
*****************
Dear Aunt Phoebe,
I am a Freshman in High School and I am going-steady with a Senior Boy for a month now. Mother thinks I am to young to go steady! What do you
think I should do?
A.B.
***************** Dear A.B.
If your mother thinks you are too young to go steady, why don't you try dating other boys for a while. If she thinks you are doing too much running
around I am sure she will let you go steady.
Aunt Phoebe
*************************
Dear Aunt Phoebe,
I wrote to a boy several times but he hasn't answered my letters. Although he is going steady, I still like him very much. Would you tell me how I could get him to like me?
H.M.
*********************
Dear H.M.
I'm afraid that writing to a boy who is going steady is the wrong thing to do. He is probably deeply in love with the girl he is going with and no
doubt will marry her some day. You better stop writing the letters and maybe you'll have some one to go with some time.
Aunt Phoebe
*************************
Dear Aunt Phoebe,
I am a Senior in High School And I am going to be in the class play. The boy I am going steady with don't think I should be in it because I have to make
love to another boy. Please tell me what I should do.
"Ellie"
*********************
Dear "Ellie"
Go right ahead and be in the play. I am sure your boy-friend won't be mad very long. After all it's just a play.

Billman's Store
Billman's Store
Century Old Store Changes Ownership
Photo with caption "George Radon and F.R. Billman, new and old owners, exchange greetings"
"Billman's Store" in Lewisville, which has served that community under various ownerships for the past one hundred years, was recently purchased by George Radon, of near Woodsfield, from the more recent-years owner, F.R. Billman, and has taken charge.The new propietor has had considerable experience in the general merchandising field, having been employed with the Kroger and Bailey Companies in Cleveland for a number of years, and he plans to operate the widely-known general store on the self-serve basis and by courteous service and quality merchandise, he hopes to continue the tradition of this fine and ancient store.
A Mr. Packenburg owned and operated the store many years ago and later sold his business to Frank and Charles Oblinger, Clem Oblinger later purchasing Frank's share.
On August 18, 1907, Mr. Billman was employed by the Oblinger's and in 1910 bought a one-third interest, the store being known at that time as the Oblinger, (Marion) Robinson & Company. Prior to purchasing an interest in the store, Mr. Billman worked in the oil fields for five years. He is the son of the late Mr and Mrs John H. Billman, of Lewisville. In July, 1918, Mr Robinson entered World War I and Mr Oblinger and Mr Billman bought his interest in the store. Mr Oblinger died in December, 1920, and in January, 1921, Mr Billman became sole owner. Mr Radon took possession June 1st. He is a former Clevelander, coming here in 1943 and is a prosperous farmer in the Lewisville area. Before coming to Monroe County he was Service Representative for Curtiss-Wright Corp. of Caldwell, New Jersey. During World War II he served overseas as a Technical Representative. His wife is the former Edith Faber, daughter of Amiel Faber and the late Mrs. Faber. The Radon's have two sons, Robert student at Ohio State University, Columbus; and Richard at home.Mrs. Billman, the retiring owner's wife, is the former Ollie B. Fisher daughter of the late Mr and Mrs Grant Fisher of Lewisville. The Billman's have one daughter, Mrs Frank (Grace) Stallings of Westerville, and one grandson, Robert Alan Stallings.And with the passing of one era and the beginning of a new for the "Grand Old Store of Lewisville," the community's best wishes go to both the retiring and the new owner -- F.R. Billman and George Radon -- for a long service that has been well done and a new that hopes to serve as in the past a modern setting. (Beacon Photo)
