C., NOVEMBER, 1937 Paragraphics Come on everyone! Let’s give our football team a great big hand for showing that old fighting Bull dog spirit this season. Mr. Canipe is certainly “pour ing” it to the physical ed. boys. That’s 0. K., boys; keep up the good work. Show him you can take it! Let’s cooperate in trying to keep paper off the floors during classes and study periods. Don’t tear up those notes into small pieces that stick like gum to the floor, mak ing it hard to sweep them up. Use the waste basket, not your desk, for your scrap paper. Then our rooms will have a neater ap pearance, and we’ll be recognized as better housekeepers. That Study Habit—Get It Regretting that they did not study more in high school, many alumni are coming back to tell us of their hardships as freshmen in college. A Wake Forest freshman groaned, “We have 40 French sen tences to write for one assignment I ’’ And most of our seniors think that it’s asking for the impossible when they are told to prepare only ten. From N. C. State, A. S. T. C. and other schools comes the astound ing news that just one misspelled word lowers a theme grade ten to fifteen points. But how many of the seniors are consulting the dictionary when in doubt and are training themselves to be careful and accurate in spelling, not only in English, but in all subjects? Most of the students in our high school have a sixty-minute study period every day. If real concen trated study were done during that time, very little homework would he left. In every class the teach er uses part of the period for su pervised study. Again there is opportunity for preparing assign ments. Many upper classmen sit in study hall or in class day dreaming or wasting their precious moments in some other way. Take a tip from those who havi so recently learned from experience that it pays to acquire that study habit while in high school. Don’ wait until it’s too late. Wake u] and work! n A. H. S. The Thanksgiving Spirit “Enter into His gate with thanksgiving and into His courts with praise: be thankful unto Him and bless His name.” So sang the psalmist of old, and again this year the American people will keep the day set aside by their pilgrim fathers and give thanks for their many blessings. e are all familiar with the story of the first Thanksgiving, for we have heard it told each year at this time since we entered school—how the pilgrims came to this new land of wilderness, wild beasts and hostile Indians so that they could worship God in the way they saw fit. The winter was hard, and through the spring and sum mer they toiled, planting and car ing for the crops. In the autumn they were rewarded with a bounti ful harvest, and the governor of the little colony proclaimed that a day be set aside in which to give thanks. Some of us wonder if on that first day they ever dreamed that it would become one of the most outstanding holidays of so great a nation as our United States. Thanksgiving is not a legal holi day but one set aside by proclama tion by the governors of the vari ous states and the President. Al though this is the special day for thanks, we should be thankful each day in the year for the num erous blessings we receive. As the time draws nearer, we are all beginning to plan how we shall spend Thursday and Friday, our holidays. Some of us no doubt will attend one of the football games scheduled, but the majority of us will celebrate in the usual manner, with turkey and cranberry sauce. Whatever our activities may be, let us have that same spirit of Thanksgiving through the holidays. tentiary. There are students ..no are unconsciously following in the footsteps of this man. Walk ing across the school lawn may small matter, but it is one that seriously affects the appear ance of the school. Remember the eleventh commandment, “Don’t walk on the grass.” OPEN FORUM Dear Editor— , , . „ An issue confronts A. ti. which should be of vital interest to all her students, that of insti tuting a plan of student govern ment in our high school. This plan seems to m_ wise one. It has met with great success in other high schools. In the Central Elementary school of our own city this government has brought about many worthwhile suits. , . , j The student government is head ed by a student council composed of a representative from each homeroom. It has a president, which the members of the council choose, and a faculty advisor. They hear the cases of students who have committed various misde meanors on the campus or in the classroom, and if they find them guilty, require them to do a certain amount of work for a short period of time. They also sponsor worthy projects in the school. If the council functions as it should, it will be a help both to the faculty id to the students. Of course this plan can go too r, or, because of lack of coopera- 3n by the student body, ase to function entirely. whole plan depends upon the de cision of the students in choosing the representatives and upon their cooperation with the council. If both factors are present, a student government can be a great ass LEE COPPLE.

He cut classes, cut club programs and foot ball practices, and did anything get through with the least amount of work. He used to cut across the front lawn of his school. In the course of four years, he was graduated and entered college, but the habit stayed with him! rAMPUS CHATTEI riara On Halloween night. . .._ shTukes his new mustache ...

This valley was settled by many brave old pioneer families, and the Fincastles are among this rugged stock. Old Grandmother Fincastle still has the real pioneer spirit— the bravery, the fortitude, and the will to carry on through “ups and downs”. She has a fine and strong old spirit and passes on to her granddaughter, Ada, that same strength to face the problems of the modern world. Ada’s father was a great dis appointment to Grandmother Fin castle. He entered the ministry, but pursued his studies so far that he became a free-thinking philoso pher, and, as he differed with s of the old church doctrines, he cast out of the ministry. He forced to come back to the valley to his mother with his sweet but dehcate wife and Ada, his daugh- It sorrowed the old grandmother ore when Ada decided to follow the desires of her heart and take happiness as she found it. How she waited for her lover to return rom the Great War, tried to build up their changed lives together, and faced the problems of the 1930’s IS the main theme of the book. She adapted the pioneer spirit of her grandmother to the modern world and found happiness. This is an unusually interesting and easily read book. In mv opinion high school students, especially u^pper classmen, would really like this novel. Why it for parallel?
