BAILEY BUGLE September 26,1947 B A I L £ Y, NORTH CAROLINA page 4 HRVE IjUE thought about OUR FUTURE? SusieBebles What are YOU going to do when you finish school? For many of us this is our last year of high school. Are we gcsing to college, to business school, to the farm, or into other profitable businesses that will benefit our fellow man? Or, are we going to join the shiftless throngs that roam our streets, parasites,who, donating nothing to so ciety, live off of the work of others? Court records, prisons, press, and radio reveal the alarming status of young people who have never developed character. Idleness, negligence, and lack of initiative, causes of crime, lurk at the door of err^ch of us as youth. Idle students are often seen at hangouts, pool rooms,and undesirable spots, losing time needed in preparing stud ies, developing hobbies, and participating in healthful recreation. The school ground is the students’ world where op portunities to mold character lie open to each pupil. If we do not take advantage of the opportunities offered us in high school, can we be expected to succeed in the world? Compared with youth of other countries, America’s young people have opportunities that surpass the fondest imagination of others. Is it fair for us to lightly take for granted the privileges others have striven and fought for? The ideals, knowledge, and ambition within each person v/ill determine the path or pattern of life he will follow. Then here is a challenging thought from a high school teacher of North Carolina: "The curtain rises ! A nev/ age, the beginning or the end? Yith this generation lies the answer. And who de termines the thinking of this generation? The classroom, a stage for heroism or cowardice?" What part are we Bailey students going to play in this new drama?

Farmer, Laurine Lassiter Hi ya Well, here’s your slap dash ink slinger at it again, only a bit thewor se from the wear and tear of throe months of mosquitoes tobacco barning, varied and sundry automobile acci dents, and the addition of a few freckles. Putting on the dog.. Dollie Bunn says no one would believe her when she told of buying hot dogs a foot long in Rocky Mt. To prove her point, she brought one of the incred ible looking things home with her. All I can say is "that’s a lot of dog for anyone ’ s money I" Tans, etc The sight of all those beautiful tans accumulated during the summer simply smote me the first day of school. A fe’.v who possess those smooth even tans are Sue Lassiter, Lois Jean Medlin, and Jean Williams, ■li-nd speaking of freckles — woe is me ! They're all the results I got when I tried to get a tun. Have you heard? Billy Moro.n: "Say, Blue- Grcne, how come all them people saluting as they go into Mrs.Lassiter’s room?" Blue-Geno! "Eon’t you know? General Business is in there," Honestly, now, how long has it boon since BHS has seen a more attractive, less awkv/ard appearing group of freshmen than we now have? Except when we juniors were just ap pearing on the scene, 0. Beard
