In Memory — A Blood Drive at FHS last week in memory of Yahir Cancino was a huge success. Blood donations, mainly from students, surpassed the greater good goal which generated a $360 donation to the charity Donate Life Texas. Yahir was a sophomore at Dalhart High School. He passed away after suffering a serious injury during a JV football game in early September. The drive was so successful that additional donors had to be turned away because the blood drive staff ran out of supplies.

Just 4 Laughs — (1) Helvetica and Times New Roman walk into a bar. "Get out of here!" shouts the bartender. "We don't serve your type." (2) Did you hear about the claustrophobic astronaut? He just needed a little space. (3) Why should the number 288 never be mentioned? It's two gross. (4) What do you call a parade of rabbits hopping backwards? A receding hare-line.
