Edmondson Mrs. R. E. Hellekson MEMBER Southern Interscholastic Publication Association SPOTLIGHT SHINES This month the spotlight shines on a young lady who is well- known and well-liked around school. This certain person is none other than Sarah Neil Hamer. Sarah Neil was born in Maxton, N. C., nineteen years ago. She was graduated from the Maxton SPORTSMANSHIP Now that sports of all kinds have become popular with the public, the word, sportsmanship, means quite a lot more than perhaps the individual realizes. _ Just how can you define sportsmanship? Webster’s Col legiate Dictionary defines it as thus, sportsmanship is skill in or devotion to sports especially the conduct becom ing to a sportsman, involving- honest rivalry and graceful acceptance of results. How then does this affect the individual? Perhaps we can best explain by giving illustrations of what sports manship really is. Take for an example the hunter and the fisherman, one day their luck in catching or bagging game may be poor, but on the next day his luck may be exceptionally good and he has bagged his limit of the game. Here these sportsmen prove their point by not being greedy or selfish. They leave whatever game is around for the next man and in this way keep the animal and fish growth level to the demand of other hunters and fishermen. In the field of sports you can call sportsmanship at a different angle because it takes a real sportsman to go out _and ,f•ir.uiWiiibut clean team. However, this sports- mn usually tries to keep these points in his mind, to play a clean game, keep cool head, and if his team lose, master the situation as a sport instead of a poor loser. Some people have said it isn’t the way that you win or lose a game but it is the way that you take the ,results. Another point in sportsmanship is the conduct of the spectators at a .game for they greatly influence the game. Perhaps we could say when a team’s cheer leaders are giv ing a yell, don’t try to .jam them up with yells or boos or yells of the team that you are pulling for; it isn’t gentle- menly conduct and you usually give the school a bad name in the thoughts of other spectators in addition to producing a feeling of hatred rivalry between schools and spectators alike. In closing. I’d like to remind the student and player that our school will be playing teams we have never met before in the Eastern Tournament at Dunn. If we are courteous, whether we win or lose, if we take it on the chin, then we can look forward to the next time that our school w'ill be participating in sports against some of these same teams. Pei'haps a poor sportsman can be summed up in these words: a person who Avaddles like a duck, quacks like a duck, and thinks like a duck, is a duck. What shall it be? High School. Upon her comple- tian of high school, she chose P. J. C. for her basic college work. This marks her second year of at tendance at P. J. C. Always looking fresh and cheer ful, she has a welcome smile for everyone. Sarah Neil takes part in many school activities. She became a member of the Phi Theta Kappa scholastic society. She is secretary of the sophomore class and also holds a position on the Bagpipe staff. Besides all this, Sarah Neil maintains a “B” average and her name appears quite frequently on the Dean’s List. After completion of her work at P. J. C. she plans to attend Woman’s College in tlreensboro Songs And You W. P. J. Did you have your radio at the bright spot on your dial last week end after the P.

Meet The Faculty By ELMO JERNIGAN I'm sure that the student body of P. J. C. has seen the, busy ac tivities of the library by Miss Haynes, our new librarian, that is, the students who make use of the library. Miss Haynes was born- in the POET’S CORNER Maybe you haven’t heard the news, About four boys who had the blues. They went flying off one Wednes day night, Had dates in Charlotte that were strictly all right. One boy who had the other two a date Came out fine, his date was great. She held his hand just like a true friend, From the start of the cartoon ’til the very end. The other two boys weren’t quite so lucky, To come through smiling, they had to be plucky. On Thursday morning, one’s heart was broke, While the other thought it was all a joke. Walter dated an awfully cute little girl Around from the other side of the world. I believe it was from China she said she came Any way Wan Too was her name. .Jimmy’s date was from Charlotte town And hoy she was built to mow em down. They were the cutest of the tu ples by far Until she got sick and threw up in the car. The “Reverend'’ was also in on the trip But on his return he buttoned his lip. You’ll never hear the Reverend brag About going to Charlotte to see a hag. I know “Rev.” won’t tell you, so I will The Reverend’s date was really a thrill. They just sat in the parlor and talked Except for the 26 blocks he walked. In the Charlotte bus station they had a good time. town of Hays, N. C.

Second Semester The first semester is over, And the second is well tmder way. If you haven’t started studying Then you’d better buckle down to day. Last semester is gone and for gotten And we’re started another brand new. What grades will you have this ^ last half? You know it depends upon you Don’t be content to “just get by”, Really pitch in and fight. Master your studies ’ere they down you, And you can sleep on examina tion night. A year of school is just like a race And we've finished only the first heat. Are you ready to run the second Or are you “out on your feet?” In another way school is like a race. V/hen you figure your grade amounts, It’s not the way that you start ■ off, lut the way you finish that counts. Thev always say, “a word to the wise s sufficient.” this advice is sound and concrete. But let me say in connection with studies, Don’t let grass grow under your feet.
