C., JANUARY, 1938 Paragraphics The end of the first semester is almost here. Are you satisfied with your record for the past months? If not, why not turn over a new leaf and resolve to make better grades? Start the new semester off right. How? By studying It will soon be time to elect new class and club officers. Now i; time to begin thinking about who is best qualified for each position. Do you like thrills and excite ment? If so, attend the basket ball games, and watch our teams win some more thrilling victories. Not only will you support the school with your small fee, but with your cheering you might help the teams win. Students, don’t you think w be more careful about the waste paper? It is just as easy to stop by the teacher’s desk and drop it into the waste basket as it is to jam it into your desk—which probably already full. And don’t tear up those notes into a thousand tiny pieces and scatter them the floor! Let us make our school a cleaner one by keeping that de mon, Waste Paper, off the page. Care of Our New Gym Aren’t you proud of our nev $30,000 gym? Then why not take good care of it? Each of us has to do his part to keep the gym in the good condition it is now in. During the basketball season while you are watching a game and ing candy, popcicles, or peanuts, be careful not to put paper or other trash on the floor. It isn’t half as easy to pick up as it is to throw down. Don’t stick your old wad of gum under a seat either. Park it behind your ear—swallow it if necessary—but don’t leave ; the gym! What about your shoes? they have leather soles and heels or maybe steel taps? If so, stay off the gym court. Would you be as proud of our gym if there were stains or scratches on the smooth ly polished floor? Don’t be careless about the use of the gym doors. Watch out for the glass, and be sure that it isn’t you who carelessly slams a door, breaking the glass in it. You know that ours is one of the best equipped, most attractive gyms in the state, so let’s cooper ate in keeping it in the best pos sible condition so that we can al ways be as proud of it as we are Facing Those ‘‘Exams” The holidays have come and gone; the end of the semester here, and, with it, will come the mid-term examinations tomorrow and next day. Do you face the ordeal with fear? If you have studied your lessons in the past months and re tained the knowledge which you should have, you ought not be afraid. Fear usually comes from not being prepared. The time for study has now passed, for cram ming the night before seldom does much good. Usually it only tends to confuse you, so that you can’t think clearly. The best thing to do now, after briefly reviewing your subject matter, is to go to bed early and get a good night’s rest so that you will be physically fit tomorrow. When you go to class, take with you all the materials which you will need. Many teachers don’t approve of borrowing on class, and on a test it probably will not be tolerated. Read through the questions and answer them all to the best of your ability, leaving the more difficult ones until last, so that you may have more time to study them. Don’t lower yourself by cheat ing. Dishonesty does no one any good. It is you, yourself, whom you injure and cheat when you resort to this practice.. And it isn’t the grade you make on the “exam” that, after all, is most im portant. This will prove useless when, in later life, the need arises for the information you should know. All through life, in busi ness and in school, you will find that honesty is the best policy. OPEN FORUM Dear Editor: a Each student should make a special effort to keep the library books and magazines in good con dition. Some students seeni to forget that the material found in • library is for the use of over hundred and fifty people. Since there are only a few copies of each book and usually only one subscription to a magazine, it is necessary that good care be taken of them. Some students make a habit of cutting advertisements and pictures from various books, magazines and newspapers. Some also mark in the books and turn down comers of pages. This habit should be stopped immediately. Books from the library should be kept in a dry place so that the pages will not become wet and faded. Let us try to remember that books stay in use at the libra ry year after year, and that the periodicals are also kept there for future information. It is up to us then to keep our library mate rial in the best possible condition. —JACK LOWDER. BOOK REVIEW “THE CHARLEMONTE CREST” A My«tery of Modern Haiti by Augu.ta Huiell Seaman Reviewed by Ruth Huneycutt Molly Benton, lively daughter of a Colonel of Marines, stationed at Cape Haiten, and her friend, Helen Brooks, a new-comer to the island, thought the story of Haiti was merely a history until they found a packet of old letters in a tall candlestick, an heirloom of the Brooks family. Then they found themselves involved in a mystery which carried them back to the Revolutionary days when Jean Jacques Dessalines, the fa mous black leader, struggled with the French for supremacy, claimed himself emperor, and sacred the white people. The tall candlestick with its strange crest was a relic of that massacre. Where was its mate? What did the letters mean? Molly and Helen were deter mined to find out—and they be come entangled with code letters, a missing emerald necklace, a buried chest, the Charlemonte Crest and strange beliefs of the Haitian voodoo worshippers be fore the unraveling of the century- old mystery that had its begin nings in one of the most colorful periods of Haiti’s romantic his- When a Man Is Really Educated He will cultivate his manners as well as his brains. He will not think that his di ploma is his passport to success. He will appreciate the higher, finer things. He will not be a snob: he will be kind to and considerate of oth ers, rich or poor. He will know the value of spare time for self-improvement. He will be willing to take advice of the more experienced. He mil control himself under provocation. He will not always be thinking of self. He will know that it is more im portant to make a life than to make a living.
