Bain Come On People Now BY Melita Corriher help (verb)-to furnish with strength or means for the successful performance of any action or the attainment of any object. This is what the people involved in H.E.L.P. are trying to do. Their main purpose is to help blacks and whites learn more about each other. The initials H.E.L.P. stand for Help Everyone Live Peacefully. It is hoped that students will practice this in the community as well as in the school. The project was started by Mrs. Almond’s Black Literature class with hopes of helping conditions in the school and the community. The group has met twice with an attendance of approximately 50 each time. At the first meeting, members got into small groups to discuss activi ties to involve the whole school. Some of the more popular activities were H.E.L.P. Week with H.E.L.P. Day on Friday, sponsoring an assembly, and Heritage Day. They discussed what they wanted to accomplish and how to do it. At the second meeting, the group voted on officers. The following were elected: Co-Pre sidents, Darryl Ellis and Tom Knotts, Vice-President, Ronald Wall; and Secretary, Sharon Davis. A list of activities was passed out so members could vote on the ones they thought they could do by the end of the school year. Mrs. Almond broke the members up into five groups and asked each person to answer five questions. The groups discussed their answers to see the variations in personalities. Maybe you don’t need H.E.L.P., but some people do, and H.E.L.P. needs you. NHS Councils Rising Students The National Honor Society recently implemented a pro gram to inform the rising sophomores, who are present 9th graders, of the courses available at Senior High and their contract. The program nearly fell flat on its face due mainly to the lack of communication. What finally appeared at the Junior High was much different from the NHS original plans, but the program was received enthu siastically. It seems that since the school is trying to better itself through self-evaluation communication with Junior High is of utmost importance.

A throw-off on school life, the play went through an “average” school day. After a few warm up jokes and a morning scene, the chorus girls introduced the homeroom scene, with a song. With an intruding motorcycle included, the perils of homeroom became the victim of satire. Different people represented stereo-type students found in school. Following' the homeroom, there was more comedy with an elephant routine, a hillbilly song, a growing plant, and the chorus girls. This led to the French class. A jumble of antics showed how even a foreign language can be funny. Racing tricycles was the next topic, proceeded by another chorus song. A hassled director then brought out the “talents” of the chorus class. More jokes and another chorus dance came next. This brought it up to lunchtime where the true wonder of the cafeteria came into fucus. After further kidding in a “silent spot” and chorus girls, history and gym scenes depicted a lighter side of learning. Jimmy Hesley and Charles Cooper served as the masters of ceremony.
