OUR HOME ROOM PERIOD i
(Wm. A iktn)
In my opinion, the home room per
iod is the most enjoyable perid of the
day. I am sure that most of the other
fcoys will agree with me on this, aa
that period gives us a change to go
outside for a little recreation just at
the time that it is needed moat.
The home room period usually
?starta with Miss Puette's calling the
roll and chocking up on the absentees
from Doth chapel and home room.
After this is done, we go outside, if
the day is pretty, and play football
or pitch horseshoes. On rainy days,
we stay inside and study or amuse
ourselves by looking at the various
French posters and pamphlets that
decorate the walls of the room.
Miss Puett is very obliging in
helping us with our studies, especially
with Algebra and any other point
subject about which we need informa
tion. In this way, our home room
period is quickly spent and very much
appreciated by the boys of the ninth
grade. I

CHEER LEADERS ELECTED ;
[Lohusi: Gillespie) '
Last Tuesday in chapel, the follow
ing cheer leaders were elcted by the
student body: Jane Pearce, Thelma
Johnson, and Christine Joines. It is
th.- desire of these leaders that every
hi i -school student, as well as town i
f;;. , to eonie out and support our
ten : a by yelling lustily. Perhaps, if
Cc-'.ch were writing this, he would
add, "Buy a ticket, and help support
the football team financially."
CHEERING
( Jane Pearce)
Cheering is two-fold accomplish
ment. In winning instances, it spurs
the team on to greater victories;
whereas, in time of defeat, it braces
up the boys and makes them more
tletermined to be deserving losers.
In order to be useful and effective,
cheering must be simultaneous and
enthusiastic. To effect this, all root
ers should closely observe the cheer
leaders and obey their commands.
This necessitates absolute harmony on
the part of the leaders. Regardless
of how inadequate the leading and
cheering might be, always remember
that it's the spirit of loyalty behind
lusty cheers that makes them helpful,
yet this combined with harmonious
procedure produces cheering that ade
quately expresses the belief of the
spectators in the prowess of their
team.
RREVAR1) HIGH SCHOOL
JUNIORS MEET
The Junior Class of Brevard High
School had its first meeting of the
year on Wednesday, October 21. The
purpose of the meeting was to elect
officers for the coming year.
A committee of six members of the
class was appointed, consisting of
three boys and three girls. The com
mittee nominated officers, and the
class elected them by a majority vote.
The following officers were elected
for the year, 1931-32.
Bob Pearce, president; Rachel Orr,
vice president; Justine Wright, sec
retary; Merrimon Shuford, treasurer.
We know that these officers are
capable of doing splendid work, and
the Junior class, under their leader
?>hip, will be the best that Brevard
High school has ever known.
AUTUMN
i Louise Gillespie)
)ctober's bright blue weather ?
How true is the poet's song,
As the children walk together,
Toward the sounding of the gong.
3ome walk together, others alone,
But each, undoubtedly, sees
Nature's painting, which are in tone
With the beauty of the trees.
A light frost comes during the night
And leaves a chilly breeze; .
It gives the ground a coat of white I
And further colors the trees.
The gorgeous array of the mountain
Is niade by colors of every hue.
Laughing like a bubbling fountain,
Floats up toward the celestial blue.
Kach child has his own daily task
In search of learning and lore;
For regard what more could each ask j
Than these hundreds of beauties ?
yea more.
i'hese beauties has Nature given us,
And less than a "Thank you" we
give
In return for the scenes so numerous,
In the country in which we live.
Why do we not thank the Maker,
The giver of all perfect gifts?
each of us only a partaker
Of this beauty which really uplifts?
Look at the trees and the sky of blue ?
Remeber the One who put them
there ?
The One who put them there for you,
For me, for all the world to share.
THE JUNIOR CLASS
As the first two months of school
are over, everyone is well settled in
his individual work. The Junior Class
hps the responsibility next year of
carrying on the same important work
which the Senior Class is now suc
cessfully performing, so, therefore,
I must begin to prepare itself to do well
the tasks which are involved. The 1
Juniors and Seniors are always looked
upon, more or less, as the ones to set
?examples for the lower classes, so,
therefore, must be well trained in
every way.
Many Juniors have already made
excellent marks in their various sub
jects and it is quite evident that next
year's graduating class will be even
larger than that of this year aqj}
possibly larger than any of the pre
vious years. Thus far, the Junior
Class has done its part in every school
activity that has needed its aid. Its
members on the football team have
j fought hard and played clean just as
(the class wants every one of its ath
jletes to do.
j However, in every line of work,
, sports, or play there comes a tendency
j to slack a little when a good begin
ning has been made. This is not true
| with the Junior Class. Its members
?are working harder, doing more and
j really making greater accomplish
ments than ever. They are determin
ed to do their best with this year's
opportunities in order that they may
i be worthy of taking the place of the
; class of '32 next fall.

Feed it. to hens with Purina Egg Chowder ? 7 V->c worth

Feed 2c worth of Hog Chow per day with your corn.
It will put on an extra pound of pork. One bag will

WOMAN MAY RUN
FOR COMMISSIONER
Raleigh, Oct. 28 ? Information fil
ters down to Raleigh that Mrs. James
L. Scott, Greensboro, daughter of the
late Charles Duncan ' Mclver, is just
on the verge of becoming a candidate
for commissioner of labor, a job for
which Major A. L. Fletcher, deputy
insurance commissioner, and Rev
no? Attorney Tom P. Jimison, of
Charlotte have announced, and for
which R. R. Lawrence, Winston- i
Salem, president of the State Feder
ation of Labor, and Dr. C. M. Hig-'
gins, Lexington, House sergeant at
arms, are prospects.
sum of traits and habits that make
up a persons mental and moral being;
that which has to do with the mind
and the soul.' Development is a
gradual unfolding. Therefore, char
acter development is that gradual un
folding of mind and soul that causes a
child to be what he is.
"The question, what does reading
do for a child, has been asked of many
people, and different answers have
given., One of the most important
things that reading does, however, is
that it contributes largely to the
child's vast store of information, and
encourages him to learn more by read
ing. It develops an intellectual curi
osity which increases the knowledge
of that particular thing in which the
child is interested. Reading awakens
the imaginative and creative abilities
and also develops a power of expres
sion. Ruskin acquired his power of
expression by reading and memoriz
ing Psalms of David from his earliest
childhood.
"In the spiritual development of the
child, reading gives an appreciation
of the beautiful, its stirs the soul to
do and to dare. The child reads of
great accomplishments of the past
and is fired on with enthusiasm.
Reading establishes ideals for the
child and he strives to emulate his
heroes. Tennyson said, "I am a part
of all that I have met." In books we
meet men of courage, truth, honesty,
(purity, loyalty, respect for authority
in home, school and stati, and respect
| for God.
I "Socially, reading furnishes whole
some recreation. It takes a child out
of himself and into the lives and in
iterests of others. He creates real
Ifriends in the world -of -literature and
imagination. Reading gives a know
1 ledge of human nature. Alphonso
Smith once said, 'Through literature
you will laugh with the great laugh
,ers, love with the great lovers, dream
with the great dreamers, see with the
great seers, and do with the great
doers.'
j "And lastly, reading develops a
sense of humor, without which we are
lost, socially.
! "All of this character development
cannot take place unless parents and
teachers work together in guiding
children in their choice of books and
friends.
" 'I took a piece of plastic clay
And idly I fashioned it one day.
And as my fingers pressed it still,

" 'I came again when days had passed,
i The bit of clay was hard at last,
The form I gave it, still it bore.
And I could change that form no
I more.
" 'I took a piece of living clay
I And gently formed it day by day,
'And moulded with my power and art
A young child's soft and vieltlinu
heart.
" 'I came again when days were gone,
It was a man I looked upon.
He still that early impress bore
j And I could change him never more.' "
KIMSEY SPEAKS AT HIGH
SCHOOL
The high school students and fac
ulty enjoyed a talk given by Mr. Pat
Kimsey a t Chapel Tuesday. H e
brought out some very interesting
points about the legal profession, and
since he is a representative of the
Carolina- Motor Club, he urged each
person to observe the twelve com
mandments on driving an automobile.
These commandments he read and ex
plained very effectively and we eve
inspired to become better drivers,
thereby avoiding accidents.

GIRL SCOUT NEWS
( Jane Pearce)
The first meeting of the Girl Scouts
this scholastic year was held at the
home of Miss Ethel McMinn. Since
the meeting was informal, joking and
"cutting-up" was permissible. As the
affair was rather hurriedly called
many old scouts, not to mention new
ones, were absent. Upon reestablish
ment of Tuesday as a regular meeting
day, it is believed that the scouts wil!
resume their activities on a bigger
and better scale.
Again Miss McMinn and Mrs. Mc
TRANSYLVANIA AIDS
CHURCH ORPHANAGE
Several Truck Loads of Food
Sent by Local Churches
to Thomasville
I
Several churches of the Transyl- '
vania Baptist Association have vis
ited the Mills Home of the Thomas
ville Orphanage at Thomasville, N.
C., taking tine truck loads of produce.
1 .Members of the association are ex
pecting many more to go in the near
future. It is a splendid work and
the orphanage is very grateful to
the local churches.
Rev. W. S. Price, Jr., wishes to ex
tend to the members who aided' in
the great movement, the thanks and
appreciation of the orphanage for
the services and produce.
Mr. Price said Wednesday: "May
we not forget our little orphanage
brothers and sisters; they are our
own children and their future de
pends on what we do for them now.
"Let every Sunday School remem
ber that once a month offering of
$2.50 from each Sunday School will
not be felt by any member and if we
all do our part, but it will mean lots
to the orphanage and will produce
fine men and women in a few years."
He further said, "Let me again in
behalf of our orphanage, extend our
deep appreciation to each one who is
doing his part for the orphanage."
Leod will be our leaders, the former
acting as lieutenant and the latter as
captain. The older scouts will re
member these as very deserving and
competent leaders with all necessary
qualities for successful leadership.
The various members of the B. P.
W. C. will duly act as our sponsors.
As this noteworthy group is said to
be very interested in the Girl Scouts,
rapid improvement and renewed in
terest is expected.
i Although unfortunate circum
stances compelled the discontinuation
I of scout work for the past few
months, present conditions warrant
j the resumption of these tasks with
added vigor and enthusiasm.
Already the girls have displayed
their willingness to work by splen
jdidly responding to our leaders' plea
'that we celebrate Scout Week (Oct.
25-Nov. 1) in true scout fashion. No
doubt, observant Tuesday shoppers
| noticed the arrangement of Plummer's
! window on that day. For those who
missed this attraction, it might be
beneficial to add that the above named
| window was artistically decorated
iwith Girl Scout Handicraft. This was
a fitting event as this day was ob
served nation-wide by the Girl Scouts
'as Handicraft Day.
| In like manner subsequent as well
as preceding days were and will be
celebrated by appropriate activities.
