Havana was saddened this week by the death of Mrs. C. T. Tullos, who for many years has been a resident of this community. She had been in ill health for the past three years.

T. A. Funeral services will be held at the Baptist Chruch on Friday, Feb. 21st at 3:00 o'clock, Rev. J. D. Willingham and Rev. E. F. Quarterman officiating.

The Havana Bears Upset The Leon Cagers 53-37
Sweeping Victory Comes As No Suprise To Many Bear Fans
The Havana Bears jumped into an early lead to upset the highly favored Tallahassee High School Lions, 57-37 at the Leon County Armory. Sparked by little Pat Butler, Don Williams and Dan Miller, the Blue and Gold warriors led all the way and were never seriously challenged by the Lions. In the previous meeting this season the Lions shaded Havana in a close game 31-23. The Bears hit the cards for a first quarter lead of 17-7, and added 7 points in the second stanza to be away at the half 24-13. Pushing all the way in the third Havana picked up another 9 points while in the last quarter they piled it on to the tune of 20 points. Pat Butler chalked up 22 points to cop high scoring honors for the night. Right behind him was Temple, center, nicked the hoop for 19 points for the Lions, who were playing without the services of Artie Ranew, due to his father's death. Sharing in the scoring honors were Don Williams, tallying 11, and Dan Miller, 10, for the Bears. Tom Brown, Earnest Wiliams and Temple combined to score all of the points for the losers. Bobby Miller, Harold Bert and Jim Morgan combined successfully to bottle up the Lions' scoring, and passed deceptively and well to set up the Bears tallies. In the preliminary game the Lions team defeated the Bears by 26-4.

Band News
The Havana High Band announced this week the arrival of a new baritone saxophone and stand which they have been trying to secure for some time. The new saxophone brings the instrumentation of the sax section to a total of five with the following instruments included; Three altos, one tenor, and the new baritone sax. It is believed that an experienced member of the band will change over to this instrument instead of adding a new member to the band. Other instruments purchased since the beginning of the present school term include a bass horn with case and stand and a new snare drum. These added instruments bring the total instrumentation of the band to 38, and according to Miss Cowart, band director, is probably all that will be added for some time. The band is also enjoying the shelves which the Ag boys made for them under the supervision of their Ag teacher, Mr. Denson. The shelves, which are made into individual compartments for holding music and some instruments, are a definite improvement over the old method of leaving the music on the stands, but they are still hoping to have a band room to call their own sometime in the future.

Editorial--School Organization
It is our belief that Havana High School needs a student organization. It would be good for the students, the teachers and the community. There are many ways which an organization of this type could be set up but here is an example. The candidate for president, vice president, treasurer and secretary would campaign the first two weeks of September and election take place on the third week of September. From each of the High School classes, the ninth through the twelfth, would come one class representative who would be elected by his class. These 6 members would sit on the board to decide questions brought up before them. The main purpose of this organization would be to select entertainment such as educational and enjoyable movies, and plan parties and dances for the members. The money for these things would be obtained from the dues paid by the members. The students could really use some educational pleasure. Count the number of times that you have been in the auditorium during school hours to see, hear, or take part in a good program!

Sports
Havana Bears Victorous
During the last week-end the Havana Bears won the Chipola Atheletic Conference Basketball Tournament with the ease and unchallenged sytle that was predicted they would do. In acknowledgement of their fine record during the regular season, the Bears were selected first in conference play. Havana received a bye in the first game while Greenwood played an undefeated Altha. The Havana-Greenwood game was of much interest because Havana defeated Greenwood by only three points during the regular season. The end of the first quarter found the Bears ahead by only five points but the half found them riding on a comfortable 23-11 lead. The final score was 49-19 in favor of the Bears. Saturday morning at 11 o'clock Havana defeated Wewahitchka in the highest scoring game of the tournament. Wewa fought hard to upset Havana but at the half they were trailing by 26-7 score. All ten members of Havana's first quad got to see action in this game; all but one of them scored at least two points. When the final whistle sounded Havana was leading 54-16. Saturday night Havana met Sneads in the play off. Sneads had defeated Greensboro Saturday morning in a close and exciting game. Sneads got off to a lightning start by scoring the first two points but Havana struck back just as fast when they got the ball. Sneads scored one point from them until half period when Havana score 16. The score at the half was 18-3. The game as a whole was a little on the rough side. Several of the boys from both teams had as many as four fouls at the end of the game, which found the Havana Bears ahead 35 to 18. At the close of the game the spectators were asked to remain seated for the presentation of the awards. Due to the absence of the Chipola Athletic Conference president, the vice president made the presentation. The basketball used in the tournament was given to the Kincaid High girls' team for defeating the Sneads girls in the play off. The runner up trophy was presented to the captain of the Sneads team. The winner's trophy, which was the most important to Havana, was presented to Pat Butler, captain of the team. Let's go back now and look at some of the individual scores for Havana. Harold Bert took top honors for the highest scorer in Havana's first game with 13 points. Pat Butler was on top in the second game with 16 points to his credit. In the third and last game, Dan Miller was the high scorer with 13 points. Havana defeated Chattahoochee Feb. 8 in Sneads. There was only one game and Havana took it by a 52-21 score. On Feb. 11 Havana took two games from Monticello in Attapulgus. The A. squad won by a score of 72-18 and the B squad by a score of 22 to 12.

D. A. R. Girl Chosen
On Feb. 14, 1947, after a program put on in the auditorium by the Junior class, Prof. D. F. Burns announced that the faculty had decided to award Marilyn Hartsfield the distincition and honor of being recognized as the Senior girl most suited to receive the Daughters of the Revolution award of a trip, all expenses paid, to Washington, D. C. Marilyn, however, may not get the trip because she only has an even chance with the hundreds of other girls whose names are sent in from the scores of high schools in Florida. Even if she doesn't receive the much coveted trip she will still receive recognition from the Daughters of the American Revolution organization.

Guess Who
He's a Senor who is about 5 feet 9 inches tall. He has very brown hair and hazel eyes. Though you might not suspect it, he is 18 years of age. His favorite singer is Bing Crosby and his most common expression is "Aw Shoot!" He likes loud shirts and socks but the girls like that red shirt best of all. If you can't guess who he is we'll tell you next week. Last week's character was Beatrice Lambert. (Answer: This week's character is Ross Ellwood.)

Society Notes

Bobby Ellinor has been out of school for several days to have his tonsils removed.

Fred Poppell spent last week-end with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. B. G. (Brink and Claudia) Poppell, of Concord, Fla.

"Dirt", Incorporated

Helen, let's not be untrue to Raymond by walking home after church at night with another boy.

Leo, you may have to get someone else to play cupid. I hear that the one you have now is becoming tired.

Maybe you took our advice, Mary Ann. Be shame, making your little brother give up his seat in the show for David.

Elsie W. (Walsh) is seen a "right smart" lately with a handsome "Coonbottom" Romeo.

Nellie (Yawn), looks like you got some competition. If she's that wild and wooly, can't you just rope and tie her up?

When Mr. Strange is late for class, Joye (Hitson), that's no time for you and Emory A. (Atkinson) to exchange love licks.

Marilyn, we hear Fred almost missed his bus in trying to get a chance to say goodnight to you. Couldn't you have made the situation less difficult?

Frances (Powell), you shouldn't treat Donald (Williams) so rough. Just think of him losing all that wavy hair.

Just what is it that Ross (Ellwood) has that attracts Virginia (Dunnavant) and Deede (Robertson)? Pat (Butler) and Bobby (Harrell) had better look over the situatin and find this secret attraction.

I bet Maryzell (Haskins) is looking forward to another band festival if it is held in Tallahassee. She seems to know quite a few boys in Tally.

A foursome from Concord seems to like Saturday midnight shows very well now that there are new seats.

Harold Kelly, tell us why you like the dime stores in Tally on Saturday night. Now, don't tell us you are a lone wolf!

Janie Lee, better let him use your glasses since he has such a hard time trying to see the show in such a position.

All the girls were swooning the other day when they saw Walt Walsh getting down (the jack)?. They thought for a minute it was a sailor.

Martha P. (Pearl Sanders) we're getting very impatient with you. You never give us anything to talk about.

Mary Alice (Avirett) and Odene (Brock) really do get around and I mean around. Seems they are learning a new jitterbug step!

Jesse has such nice handwriting, girls. Can't you get him to write you a few notes?

The characters in the play last Friday had a hard time trying to get material to imitate the teachers. Surely they know them better than that after all these years.

A Navy jacket is certainly getting a lot of wear lately.

Feature Attraction
On Saturday, Feb. 8, 1947, at 10:30 p.m., one of our most distinguished looking girls made her debut at the Havana Theater. After an hour of the maids, Sarah Brock and Nellie Yawn, fussing over her and getting her just right, she faced a cold blast of wind and tripped gaily up the street to be admired by all her friends. Her clothes, made up of a striped jacket and matching purse, was a very expensive outfit from Guam. Her hat was crocheted and decorated with a big red rose. The makeup she used blended with her fair complexion and her lipstick was a contrast to her sparkling teeth. Her quarter lenghth stockings were of bright red and yellow cotton. Her shoes were slightly run down at the heel, but as she walked all the attention was fastened on her well-proportioned figure. I know that you're wondering who this wonderful girl is. Her name is L. D. Hitson, who went incognito to the midnight show. Girls' appearance must have some effect on boys but I hope none of the girls try to copy L. D.'s new costume.

Honor Students
With the averaging of grades at the end of the first semester it was found that Havana High could boast three honor students. In order to meet the qualifications required in order to be classified as an honor student, one must make an average grade of 90 per cent or above, have no absences or tardies, and have a satisfactory conduct. Dickie Fishcher of the tenth grade and Winston Sapp of the ninth grade are at the head of the list with a semester average of 93 plus. Elsie Moore of the seventh grade had an average of 91 plus, Annette Darsey, also of the tenth grade had an average of an even 93, but was tardy once during the first semester. In grammar school where a different system of grading is used, it was found that there was a larger number making honor roll for the first semester. They are: First grade, Jack Freeman; third grade, Earl Perry and Jimmy Powell; fourth grade, Joyce May, Jane Gregory, Annette Whigham and Eugene Moore; fifth grade, Kathryn Willingham; sixth grade, Marjorie Moreland and Mary Lou Gandy. The following pupils made honor roll grades for the first semester but had one absence, Mary Jane Butler, Miriam Cowart, Betty Shelfer, Elizabeth Weatherly and Richard Gandy.
