Should I go to college? This is the question that all high school seniors ask. Yes, if you have the requisite mental capacity for college work and a reasonably definite purpose in securing higher education, together with am bition, health and sufficient funds. Any high school graduate of ability who possesses funds enough to cover his freshman expenses should not hesi tate to go to college, because scholarships, loan funds, or work will likely provide for th6ir future education. Lack of ambition is a far greater handicap than lack Of funds in securing college training. The chances for success of college-trained men and women are much greater than those of non-college gradu ates. In fact, the chance of achieving distinction by an individual without education is very doubtful. In view of these statistics prepare yourself further for the competi tion of life by securing a college education. IT MAHERS WHAT YOUR GOAL IS “You must keep your goal in sight; labor toward it day should-be too old to care.” The wise person, when planning his life’s goal should go about a similar procedure of that which a traveler would, when choosing his destination by first deciding what means he will use on the journey, for life, too, is a journey. It must also have a reasonable goal chosen before determining how to spend each day. Many people today have taken as their goal the ob- tainment of wealth and material goods. This is an inferior “destination,” for it reduces man’s dignity, making him serve something lesser than himself—for material goods are inferior to human personality. BE GRATEFUL “Grateful must we be that the heart may go withersoev er it will.” Gratefulness is a way of expressing appreciation and thankfulness, and is an important asset to all m every walk of life. Are you guilty of taking others for granted? Did you forget to send a greeting card, a thank-you note, a small sift or visit a person who has been very kind to you. How about you who ride to and from school with your friends and teachers, do you ever say thanks or Ill help pay for gas this week? Will you rob mom of that new dress she needs for your own selfish reason? Have you ever taken time out to say thanks to mom and dad. Has life become so much fun that you lack the time to say a simple prayer. . Many favors which are done daily are • done without compulsion of recompense; but how many mdividua^ stop to consider this fact and give a reply of thanks for such gratuity shown toward them? When we can give a simple reply of th^ks for such small courtesies as a bus driver waitmg for us, others picking things up for us or holding a door and many more courtesies paid, signifies that we are growmg m consid eration and human kindness. "HUDDLE PRAYER" Lord we thank Thee for this day. Grant us guidance in our play. Give us strength in hand and heart To play the fair and sportman’s part. With courage and regards we will play bv the rule . ^ i »> For honor of good ole “Dudley High School. Letter To Ihelbiloc 142|7 Neldei^'Ro^ We$t January 2, The Panther’s Claw Staff Dudley High School Greensbbro, Itorth Carolina Dear Friends, j Thank you fjar sending me issues of the Panther’s Claw this past semester. As a graduate of Dudley and a former member of your staff, I can appreciate the effort it takes to put out a newspaper; certainly oncj which is by far, the caliber of jthe Panther’s Claw. You might! be interested in knowing to what piurposes I have put my experience in journalism and some of its advantages to me; Mainly it has'been helpful in se curing my present job as a Tech nical Editor for a large Aircraft Corporation, It was one of the first items listed on my applica tion that the interviewer noticed. Then as I wiirk at this job, my knowledge of journalism, even though limited, has been useful in making abstracts of articles and reports inasihuch as in these instances conciseness is an im portant factor. Thus can you im- derstand why I value the extra time as well as have fond memo ries of the days I helped to “put the Panther’s Claw to bed”. Again thank you for including me on your mailing list. I am look ing forward to the next issues ^th news from Dudley. Best wishes also for continued successful publications in 1957. Sincerely youre, Delores Douglas Archer Music Speaks A Language Music is a universal language, one which the people of all coun tries can lasitwstsnd. Music is like - a language written in notes instead of words. The written notes are read by the player and made into sounds which the listener hears. In this way the composer gives a message to the world. He ex presses joy, sorrow, nobility, fear, beauty, and many other feelings and moods with his music. The music that makes people feel emotions is usually the best music. Music appreciation also makes you want to make music yourself. If you do play or sing, it should teach you to be a better interpreter of the great music of the world. As a vocation, music offers op- portimities to earn a living in at least seven different classes of work—teachers of music, perform ers, singers, conductors, makers of musical instruments, critics, comprosers and arrangers, the Pan therms Pulse Heretofore, various colleges have always reported how well former Dudley students behaved and did their work. Dudley has always been happy over such reports, but T* it seems that some of these former Dudleydtes are not holding up the tradition. It is constantly being said that several former students are carrying on activities that tend to bring down the high standards of the schools they are now attending. These re ports have been brought to the Claw Staff so many times that it was decided to get opinions from present Dudleyites. A Senior— Remember the Gtolden “Do unto others as you have them do unto you. Don’t be a trouuble maker. A Senior Rule: would The thought of attending college after high school occupies many minds of Dudley students, one time or another. What they do after they get there occupies the minds of teachers and parents oft en. Will their actions in college cause praise for Dudley or dis grace. This is something one should think about more seriously than in the past, and make an example to cheer for one’s former Alma Mater! Using the slogan, “Those who do right have nothing to fear,” will help many I’m sure. A Sophomore— “Lives of great men all remind us , . . We can make our lives sublime, and, departing, leave be hind us . . Footprints on the sands of time . ; , ” What kind of footprints are you leaving—good or bad? It never occurs to the actors of these evil deeds that their lights of life re flect on each student now attend ing Dudley and the future gene ration. Each person has to live his own life—how it will be lived is entirely his responsibility. The people who insist upon do ing wrong and know it are the kind to be banned from our cultur al society. One rotten apple can spoil a whole barrel—are you that rotten apple? So the plea from the Dudley family to these stu dents is: “Good, better and best, never let the three rest, until good becomes better and better becomes best.” A Junior— If such things are true and are not soon stopped, colleges may be very careful ibefore letting in other Dudley students and this will be hard on some of them. If this applies to one, check and live up to this quotation, “Let your light so shine that men may see your good work and glorify your father which is in Heaven.” This means live right so that other people can see your good work instead of all your bad work. A Junior— The colleges are willing to serve all pupils using it for recreational and educational purposes in the- right way, and willing to comply with its few simple rules of school etiquette. Because of the crowded campus this year, consideration •for others is more than ever im portant. This should not include running around the campus trying to be heard and seen. You may accomplish both by just being your old self. Are we losing sight, of the main things of life by having a tem porarily good time which will re sult in paying for one hilarious moment throughout our lives? It is not necessary for us to be unusual in an unlady like manner in order to gain attention from others. Instead of our indulging in such things as to hinder others’ reputa tions as well as our own and place such untasty reflections upon our parents, teachers, and our “dear ole Alma Mater” which are not deserved, let us put our best foot forward, and remember in prepar ing for and attending college we should realize that a college life should lay the basis for a broader and a sounder Christian life. A Senior— vfcr the -“’stuidf^nt—body;—are ashamed of and sorry for some of these students, because we feel that they are weak and not strong enough to stand up and say, “No that is wrong and I’m not going to do that, because my parents taught me better.” Dudleyites should always be kind, courteous, obedient and respectable.

Elm St Qreeensboro Hi girls! Are you looking toward a new season and a new ward robe? While you are in the process of organizing and thinking, I am going to let you in on the new types of the 1957 suit changes. Beginning for this year’s suit- news is a blouse. Simple as that— is the open jacket suit filled with the freshness of a blouse. The blouse is apt to be delicious in itself. For instance: white surah with big dots, a big bow or both. What about the suit skirt? It ought to be hemmed an inch or so longer than last year’s and it pught to fit on the easy side. Some it skirts have begun to gather ery definite fullness, that’s the of the cropped jacket suit- s now. 5 for the rest of the suit look, for the soft little hats worn le bias, with an eyelash curved shoes with a little less heel it, but slim nonetheless and If or believable jewelry, pearl aces more often in triplicate J^not.

You will also find the handsome blazer stripe cardigan sweater made of lamb, a blend of orlorn and lamb’s wool; the cross over V-neck sweater in all wool is to be popular this year in men’s ap parel, For casual wear look for the pull over sport shirt in orlorn and the lambs wool sweater with long sleeves. Got A Problem Question I am a high school student and have not decided what to do as a life’s occupation. This brings the problem of what to major in while at college and which college to attend. Answer This problem has confronted many students and the school is trying to offer help. Our guidance counselor suggests the following: (1) Start planning early (2) Take “solid” subjects and (3) Get good grades. Available also are aptitude tests. From this you may find some subjects that would prove worth being your major in college. With a definite major, it would help greatly in deciding on an occupa tion. Our ’counselor has catalogs which you could look through for choosing a college. The library carries a set of catalogs also.
