Ponce Meets Tampa Team Here Today

Friday afternoon at the Ponce "stadium" the Cavaliers will meet a very formidable eleven from Thomas Jefferson High School in Tampa, a team that's probably about as good as any Ponce has faced or will face this year with the exclusion of the Miami High Hurricanes. This important game will come to the McLendon coached squad following a two week "rest" after Stuart. These "rests" never seem to be rests in the true sense of the word since the boys get worked even harder in the practice sessions. Jefferson has what can be called just about the best that the west coast has to offer. Looking at some comparative scores, we find that Jefferson is as bad, if not worse, than the standout in their section. Clearwater has defeated Ft. Myers 6-0 and Ft. Lauderdale's "Flying L's" walloped Andrew Jackson 40-7. The same Andrew Jackson that Tampa Jefferson beat 19-0 all of which makes one believe that Jefferson will be an interesting bunch of boys to watch play and that our Cavaliers will certainly have their hands full Friday afternoon. Figuring it out on paper, never a good way to do it, we find that Jefferson comes out about some 40 points better than Andrew Jackson. But don't get too pessimistic about this game, Monday morning Coach McLendon stated that his charges are showing the best work so far this year. The down-field blocking looks as it should and the boys are showing more aggression. The softspoken mentor added that the spirit of the team as a whole was "very commendable".

This is the Gimble Trophy that the Ponce Cavaliers will do their all to capture when they meet Andrew Jackson for the Little Three title the night of December 6. The two pretty girls are Dot Wilson and Kitty Hoffman.

Ponce High Chatter

National Art Week was the theme of the art department last week. Displays of student work were seen in the library, on the bulletin boards and in the art room. Brightening the show case were many posters and maps, many of which were made by students in the history classes. Helping Mrs. Ruth Johnston and Mrs. Herberta Leonardy arrange this display were Italo Calpini and Verl Marr. Three character parts in the senior class play, which is to be given after Christmas, have been changed. Frank Williams is to replace James McGibbon, as the hired man, Elmer Tuttle; John Kolbe replaces Frank Silas, as Mr. Harris and Leigh-ton Rushing replaces Ann Cone, as Shirley Wentworth. The Ponce Cavalcade, a presentation by the senior class, will roar into Ponce Dec. 4. Although no details can be obtained as to the theme of the show, its cast is to be made up of seniors only who are giving the assembly to the field in a series of competitive presentations by each of the four classes. Since many people have advanced a plan by which the students would take an active part in conducting classes, Mrs. Ruth Johnson, head of the history department, is now allowing some of her students to take charge. Mrs. Johnston said the classes seem to enjoy this and that those having charge of the classes are doing a good job. Playing tag with citizens of Coral Gables, South Miami, Coconut Grove and Perrine all day Saturday provided lots of fun and quite a bit of money for the Cavalettes. Approximately $100 was earned by the various girls by taggings the unsuspecting mite posthrougout the cities for two hours or more. Pauline Pearson, Pan Routh, was recently elected president of the senior class at the Theodore Roosevelt High School, Wyandatte, Mich. Pat attended Ponce during his freshman and sophomore years, was in home room 202B and belonged to the band.

Beverly Owens was elected secretary of the Pan American County Club at the last meeting Nov. 18. Other officers representing different schools are president, Betty Smith, Miami High School; vice-president, Vivian Rutherford, Homestead; treasurer, Charlotte Frank, Miami Beach. Potatoes, meat, cranberry sauce, and vegetables are among the many contributions that make up the Thanksgiving baskets being given to the poor today by the different homerooms and school organizations. The baskets are in charge of Mrs. MacGregor Smith, welfare chairman, Mrs. Ethel Wilson, chairman of homeroom mothers, and Mrs. Mellie Harell of the cafeteria. Plans to landscape the band and agricultural portables and to start a small plant nursery and demonstration home garden are being formulated by the Future Farmers of America at Ponce, under the direction of Mr. Floyd Northrup, agricultural adviser for Dade County schools. Seven delegates from the Ponce chapter of the Hi-Y attended the State Conference in Orlando last week end, Nov. 21, 22, 23. The boys, Frank Dawson, Ben Shuman, R. E. Shirley, Lynn Vanderboogh, Edwin Johnson and Ralph Bagley were chosen by the club as its representatives at the meeting where they discussed the plans and the problems of Hi-Y clubs throughout the state. Hoping to put on a "Victory Dance" for Ponce after the fight for the "Little Three" title Dec. 6, the Student Council is planning a dance to be held in the gym after the game. The Quill and Scroll, international honorary journalism society, will hold its first initiation of the year Monday, December 1, at the home of Miss Nedra N'Namara, journalism adviser when two new members will be inducted by a formal ceremony. The new members, chosen for their merit in journalism, are Jack Hoehl and Jing Troetschel. After the ceremony the two new members will give a 15 minute entertainment as part of their pledgeship activities.

U-TALK

BY BARBARA BROWNE After helping the M-Club members to select football sponsors all this season, Varsity Girl Dottie Lowe will now get a chance to be a center of attraction when she sponsors the Miami-Alabama game tonight. The Varsity Girl has the privilege of choosing the game she would like to sponsor. Dottie said she had a "perfectly horrible" time deciding but finally selected the Alabama game because she thought it was going to be exciting. It will be, too, if the Hurricanes play as they did last Friday night. The South Georgia game was really like old times. All the students were back in the sections cheering and having fun just as if the loss to Florida had been a bad dream. Sara Jane Blynn, wearing a yellow sweater, plaid skirt, and huge chrysanthemums, was helping Keith Phillips cheer the team on to victory. The former Natalie Lowe was watching the team of her alma mater with husband Arne Skagseth. Touchdown Tommy Back Everything seemed just right when John Lowe pulled our ever faithful Touchdown Tommy on the field. All the U students have come to regard the little orange and green cannon as a necessary part of the Hurricane team, for no one can deny that the only game Miami lost this year happened when Tommy wasn't on the field. Janet Silverglade and Mary Maroon were the two sponsors for the game. Janet, escorted by Alex Basil, wore a silver fox jacket over a black dress with gold trim; while Mary, who walked across the field with Billy Gillespie, wore a rose jacket over a dark skirt with tiny hat to match. Chi Omega Open-House Any cars going down Anderson Road Saturday night will probably be headed for the Chi Omega open-house, at 4521 Anderson Road from 8:30 to 12:00. The semi-formal event is in honor of the sorority's new pledges, who will be presented to the guests during the evening. The house, which is the former Connor estate, will be decorated in the sorority colors of cardinal and straw. Also on the social calendar for Saturday evening is the Zeta Tau Alpha barbecue which that sorority is giving for the Pi Chi boys. Sweetheart of Kappa Sigma Happiest girls of the week was Jacque Watson, Sigma Kappa, when she was declared the Sweetheart of Kappa Sigma at the Black and White Ball, November 19. Among the date crowded spectators were Mr. and Mrs. Bob Olsen, Jacque's date Bill Landrum, and Mimi Barnette, who was with Gil White. Choral Leader Bill Rhett brought Kitty Lou Hoffman. Pompoms to match the festivities. Frank Johnson's date, Rebecca Jackson, was a picture in a rust-colored dress of black velvet and white net, which she confided had six starched petticoats! It won't be long now until all of the "out of collijus" girls and boys will be home for Christmas. It will really be grand to see Sue Bonner, Frances Vandiver, Margie Loomis and Ethel Dimmig when they return from Tallahassee, Martin Avery and Jimmie Mendel are planning to drive down from Emory University in Atlanta. In fact, no matter where they are, they will all be home soon for a reunion of the "Gang"!

Small Pair of Chinese Shoes Symbolizes Nation's Gratitude

A diminutive pair of embroidered Chinese shoes, fashioned to the bound feet of China's old-time ladies, found among a flood of gifts and letters, perhaps best symbolizes China's gratitude for American Red Cross war relief. During the past year, the American Red Cross has expended over $3,100,000 in foodstuffs medical supplies, clothing and ambulance units for the relief of China's war sufferers. Therefore, China is trying to voice her thanks. The shoes were given to the Red Cross by an aged Chinese lady who lives on the coastal island of Tinghai in the South China Sea, where Red Cross wheat is bringing quick relief. "She came to us," an American relief worker reports, "with tears in her eyes, carrying a little basket with these embroidered shoes in it. She explained that she had nothing to eat for a long time and she begged us to buy these shoes and pay her in the good American wheat. "We filled her small rice sack at once with wheat and gave her a ticket to come every week. We wanted to buy the shoes, since we are sometimes asked for such things as curios, but she insisted on giving them to us." According to the Red Cross, shipments of American rice to China, which have now reached a grand total of 2,100,000 pounds, are especially prized by the Chinese. "What beautiful rice," they say, "and so clean we do not need to wash it." One worker tells of issuing rice one morning to nearly two hundred families in a single village who were, almost without exception, in the advance stages of starvation. "One eighty-year-old grandmother," he reports, "had the rice ticket for her family and went hobbling back to the rice room with her basket. As she returned to the room where many were waiting their turn, a girl of eight or ten rushed up to her with a smile of the greatest joy. Her face beamed all over as she ran her fingers through the clean, white rice, felt it to see how perfect it was and finally took a few grains to her mouth and bit them to see how fine such new rice would taste when cooked." Dr. J. C. McCracken, Superintendent of the large American Hospital for Refugees in Shanghai, reports that many of his cases are suffering from beriberi. "And that," he writes, "is where the Red Cross wheat comes in. Wheat not only prevents that terrible disabling disease but it also is a good remedy for such ailments. Beriberi cases are given in this hospital a special wheat diet." Because of the prohibitive price of cloth, his hospital's matron is making over each empty Red Cross wheat sack into pillowcases draw sheets, pajamas, and children's trousers. Letters of thanks and request pour in, the Chinese themselves, which are now finding their way to the American Red Cross headquarters in Washington, tell an ungrammatical but vivid story. One boy writes, "On behalf of the Shanghai Home for Destitute Children I wish to extend to you our sincere appreciation on April 12 gave us four hundred bags of rice. Your gift gives us great encouragement in carrying out our work during period of national crisis. But now we all eat finished, So I hope I am not to bold in making request for 300 bags of rice and 100 bags of wheat, then we can eat about two months." Among the letter which have reached America is one from an American relief worker who consigned some Red Cross rice to a struggling Chinese school for poor children and called on the same day to watch them receive their first meal of American rice. The children filed in from their late afternoon chapel exercises, took their places at their desks, and decorously sat there without a word while the rice was poured into each bowl in turn. Though their eyes grew big, no one started to eat until all had been served. Then they rose politely, sang their Grace, sat down again and promptly consumed four or five bowls of rice apiece. Not until after wards did the relief worker learn that no child in the room had eaten since a single bowl of thin rice gruel given them the morning of the previous day. She reports that the expressions on their faces as they ate would excel every letter of thanks which has come to the American Red Cross from the land of China.
