THE WEEK APTfR
CHRISTMAS
Twas the week after Christ
du, and all through the
halls,
Not a student was heard laugh
ing or seen writing on walls.
The rooms were all deserted,
the halls are bare.
In hopes that some students
soon would be there.
Mr. Lucas, in his suit and the
teachers in their styles,
Were sad faced 1 and lonely;
gone were their smiles,
When out on the lawn there
arose such a clatter,
The faculty ran to the window
to see what was the matter.
When what did their startled
eyes allow them to see,
But 1,300 Hillsiders as noisy
as noisy could be
They were decked out in mini's,
bellbottom pants and knits
And you knew right away
Santa done his bit
As they surged through to their
classes and 1 autographed the
walls,
Mr. Lucas smiled and said
"Merry Christmas to All."
Over the intercom Mr. Alston
was reading his list,
A day would not be complete
without his doing this,
His list wasn't compiled of
gifts and toys,
He was faced with socking it
to the naughty boys.
As the usual things happen
and things really move,
You could tell by a glance,
Hillside was in its main
groove.
Then the lunch bell rang, the
studfents went in bunches,
Hoping the New Year pro
vided improved lunches.
The bread was a little better,
the barbecue the same.
The students were yelling, call
ing each item by name.
KAREN OLDHAM
A plate lunch, a cheese sand
wich, some soup piping hot,
For the lunch to be so bad,
they sure ate a lot
After lunch and the classes
are resumed,
It's hard to beleive these were
once silent rooms.
Each class is a world all of its
own
But as you know a house isnt
necessarily a home.
A school's what you make it,
It's as strong as you stand
A school is a learning bush, a
trainer of man.
When Santa leaves your bag
and spreads his cheer, ask for
a sack of kindness, cooperation
and consideration for Hillside
next year.
And that's the way it is at
Hillside, December 27, 1969.
Stay tuned for Phillip and
Happy New Year to all.
NEWSMAN SAYS THERE'S
A GREAT NEED FOR MORE
BLACKS IN JOURNALISM
By STEPHANIE BELL
Editor's Note: This is first in
a continuing series of Inter
views to be written by Miss
Bell, a senior at Hillside High
School and a promising writer.
It was shocking to discover
that out of 1,749 daily news
papers in the United States,
employing some 25,000 news
editorial personnel only 175
Negroes are employed. Equally
as surprising was the fact that
only one Black—Sam Brower,
news editor of the Toledo,
Ohio, Blade holds a daily
newspaper rank higher than a
reporter, feature writer or col.
umnist. This rather depressing
information came from Milton
Jordan, managing editor of the
Carolina Times, who expresses
great interest in attracting
more young Blacks into the
field of writing.
An initial reaction to the
dearth of Negro writers was to
wonder why. Why is there such
a deficiency of Black people in
journalism and other related
fields? Jordan offered several
suggestions to answer this
question.
One reason, he noted is the
fear that many Negroes have
of taking risks.
"It seems," he said "there is
an almost instinctive hesitation
by some Blacks to venture into
those areas that do not provide
definite guarantees of imme
diate success."
He pointed out that for many
average* Negroes anything that
requires, an lhyestment of time
and money with, no assurance
of tremendous profit is too
much to ask.
The emphasis of school cur
riculum was said to also play
an important role in a croice
of professions. Traditionally,
teaching, the ministry and sci
entific fields havff been held
up as the only worthwhile
goals in life, according to the
young newsman.
Of course, the next question
In line was what can be done
to alleviate this tremendous
need. In addition to proper
training, and actally coming
before it, Jordan pointed out
the need for Negroes to ana
lyze themselves carefully.
"Many of us need to look
at ourselves more critically,
and get rid of some of the
problems coming from with
in," he observed. "Our values
need to be restructured, and
more emphasis must be placed
on the practical, worthwhile
goals in life rather than the
pure idealism we see so much
of today," Jordan continued.
He admitted that Blacks are
reading, talking and thinking
more and that this is certainly
a step forward. However, he
cautioned that we must not be
content because there is a lot
more to be done.
Writing, the editor reiterat
ed, is a booming career. There
is an ever increasing demand
for writers, especially those in
minority groups. Anyone who
wishes to investigate the pos
sibility of embarking on a ca
reer in writing should get in
touch with the local paper or
magazine and find out just
specifically what must be done.
Remember: No one can call
you unqualified and prove it,
if you are not unqualified ano
ihow it
A new law which went into
effect December 1 provides
automatic increased payments
foe most widows of servicemen
and veterans eligible for de
pendency and indemnity com
pensation.
A veteran who must com
plete high school training in
order to qualify for higher
education may receive an edu
cational allowance which will
not be charged against his
basic educational entitlement.
