out of ten boys and girls now en

education. Many of these youths

ing their education by going to
college. Thus preparing them-

Library Notice
All students are urged to take
care of the library books. Return
all books on or before the date due
to avoid having to pay the two-
cents per day over-due fine. Re
turn all books to the librarian’s
desk. Addie Winstead and Rober
ta Morrow have recovered quite
a few books, which had been “re
turned”, from desks in the vari- I
ous classrooms.
The bulletin board displays of
the year have been unusually at
tractive, interesting, and educa
tional. Have you noticed them?
The classes and teachers who have
been responsible for them should
be highly commended. Since
Christmas we have had four very
fine displays.
“Dipper Full of Stars” was a
beautiful display. On a blue
background there was a large
silver dipper overflowing with
stars. Famous quotation were
written on the stars.
"Penny Saved Is A Penny Earn
ed” represented Thrift Week. A
huge but beautiful piggy bank
was placed on a yellow back
ground. Real pennies appeared to
be falling into the bank. Play
money, a “play” bond and checks
were placed around the bank.
“Fight the Common Cold” was
a display of a part of a unit of
work by the 5-B grade. It show
ed several “do’s” and “don’t” to
avoid colds, spelling pads with
words about colds, and drawings
about colds.
“Winter Scenes” gave some of
our artists an opportunity to show
their talents. This display was
composed of drawings pertain
ing to winter by students of the
high school and elementary
school.

LAUGH A LITTLE
Teacher; Joan, tell us some
thing about oysters.
Joan: They are very lazy.
Teacher: What makes you
think that?
Joan; They are always found
in beds.
Mr. Smith; Milt, can you tell
me one of the uses of cow
hide?
Milt: Yes Sir, it holds the cow
together.
POET’S
NOOK
THE COMMON COLD
I hate to catch a cold.
It makes me feel so old.
My throat gets awfully sore.
I have to rest much more.
I sneeze and sneeze and sneeze!
Excuse me, if you please.
This cold has got me down.
So I just sit and frown.
Ethel Atwater—5-B
LET’S MARCH
AND FIGHT AGAINST
POLIO
The March of Dimes is under
way.
We should try to give as much
as we can today.
Let’s give pennies, nickels, and
dimes.
Even give up some of our gay
times.
Although you miss the dollar
you give.
It will help some person to
live.
Let’s be generous and let our
spirits grow
For those who are afflicted
with the germ of polio.
It may be YOU tomorrow, or
the one you love most.
Or any friend, relative, or per
son from coast to coast.
Let us fight this disease and
try to be
The true and loyal guardians
of our community.

LOOKING IN
Coming home one winter night
I passed windows warm and
bright.
I looked through and I could
see
People snug as they could be.
Safe inside they did not know
That it was cold out in the
snow.
Joseph Foushee Grade 4-B
An aviator flew in the sky
His friends exclaimed, “My,
My”;
The airplane fell
In a farmer’s dell
Now he’s gone bye, bye.
Druscilla Clark—-S-A
There was an old man in a
tree
He almost sat on a bee;
He looked around
And fell on the ground,
And landed right on me.
