THE MAJESTICS THE THREE SIGNS OF LOVE '' ' " TWI CKNERATION SIMG& I Writers i 5 By George B. Run , Forumm f v M f •***-»* ■■"■'■■■■ifdg All Human Beings Hunger For Appreciation Tyron James Muse is a Hill side High School Senior. He is one of the "Hornet's on the Varsity team; he plays "guard" and, "tackle." Muse is in terested in Business Adminis tration and Law. He is a fine conversationalist once you arouse his interest. Football is a natural starter -- Black Stu dies -- girls -- How To Make Money. We have enjoyed "talk sessions" since he was a Cub Scout with Pack 111. "Tyron, when is Youth Appreciation Week?" "I'm not sure, but, I think the 2nd week in November is Youth Appreciation Week. City week and Culture Week are observed during the latter part of the month.'' The idea of Youth Appre ciation Week struck home as being timely and slanted to ward a segment of society who needs to be shown some down to earth, appreciation-in-depth for their being here. A few bad apples should not repre sent the sum total for an entire generation. Perhaps our youth shown every sign of being little de mons set loose here on earth to drive parents, teachers , counselors -- the citizenry in general to a point of madness. No overtones of mere anger - outright, full blown, hair pul ling frenziness -- but, we have with us manifold problems not legions ol devils to cope with - 'ive with until death do we part." Our youth are not here 'be cause they're here because they're here' as in the case of a drunk who awoke and found himself in jail and reasoned with himself why he was in jail, in a drooling ditty; "I'm here because I'm here because I'm here." Tune: Auld Lang Syne." Have you ever watched how eagerly professional entertain ers bolt down appreciation shown them by an audience? The same applies to our sales girls, waitresses, office work ers, receptionists, paper boys, students; wherever our young people are found. Most of us are guilty of being a little rude to a nonchalant salesgirl, a flippant waitress, the young ster who writes a receipt wrong: "Look what you did, you messed up this receipt. If you don't know what you're doing," etc. Our blacks employed down town don't feel they are "better than anybody else" be cause they're employed where -Chain (Continued from front page) nue. Miss Hudson was spon sored by Scarborough and Har gett Funeral Home. Second runner-up was Mrs. Patricia A. Lester of Roxboro. Mrs. Lester was sponsored by her employer. Mechanics and Farmers Bank. Both runners up were presented with cash prize. A beautiful watch and a popular record album were pre sented to each of the 7 re maining contestants. Entertainment was pro vided by several musical groups. Among them were the New Generation Singers, the Three Signs of Love (of the Chuck Jackson Revue), the Syndicate and the Majesties. Ervin Hester served as emcee. Among the 37 door prizes, which included radios, turkeys, and cassett tape players, the grand prize (a color television) was won by Willard Lewis of 423 Price Avenue. Coordinating activities of the affair were: Ralph A. Hunt of Project Outreach; Reginald Gray of IBM; Mrs. Mary T. Horton of the Durham Busi ness & Professional Chain; and Mrs. Carolyn H. Allen of Pro ject Outreach. Many officers and members of the Chain were on hand to assist in the activi ties. The Durham Business and Professional Chain in an affili ate of the National Business luague they really fought hard for those jobs. So, Jet 'em push out their chests. We do give some of them a hard time. Some go far enough to lamb last these persons loudly enough for management to hear and come running. We do run into some sticky situa tions; nevertheless, we can show our appreciation by keeping our cool. At least leave a good impression of ourselves. The ire you don't heap upon a flippeant, nonchalant, ibi«- happy, gum smacking, impa tient salesclerk or what have you, can be "bread cast upon the waters.' You'll be longer remembered by your gregariousness than by your in trasigene. Leaving a friendly trail of little sparks of appre ciation is not always the easiest trail on earth. But the divi dends to your well being is worth the effort of cultivating the habit of reflecting happi ness here 'n there, wherever we go. Naturally, when we meet or have dealings with our youth, we vibrate our smould ering hostilities - quickly pro ject the wrong phase of our personalities. Youth's ddn't care'ness can often times give one the wiUes, but don't sell 'em short, they're no fools. Your appreciation is received with greater pleasure than you may suspect; too, you will sense greater enjoyment your self because you have shown, in a small measure, you appre- ■I m m | MUSE ciate. This is a step toward greater discrimination in analyzing and evaluating our youth. We appreciate people and things for various reasons. Specific reasons. Here again self-awareness carry us across the threshold of understanding - the gateway to the basis for appreciation-in-depth for our youth.
