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.

With student council elections
coming up soon, the student
council is preparing for regis
tration and voting. Once again,
we will vote in districts.
March 14th through March
21st students registered in
homerooms. Students are able
to tell which district they are in
by locating their home on the
large map near the office.
On March 19th students
interested in running for
student council offices informed
Mrs. Almond of their desire and
she checked on their eligibility
requirements.
Then from March 20-24 these
students sought to receive 100
signatures of fellow students
who felt they were qualified to
hold the particular office of
which they were seeking.
On April 4, we will have
primary elections if necessary
to lower the number of students
running for each office to two.
Then on April 12, we will have
final elections. At this time,
students will vote on the
students they feel most qualif

period, March 13. 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

the three classes played
different parts throughout the

The Junior Council would like
to thank all of the people who, in
addition to their time and
talents, donated many of the
supplies needed for decorations.
Many students also gave
items used for refreshments
such as cookies, peanuts, and
other such snacks.
