MABLE BEST Only one ninth grade student made the honor list for the first reporting period. Out of a class of 350 Mable Best from Norwayne School was the only student to make the honor list. Mable had a majority of A’s in scholarship, an A in deport ment, and perfect attendance. She says she works hard on all alignments, and after finish ing her college work, she plans to teach mathematics. Her favo rite subject is algebra, and her hobbies are singing and dancing. setting up a full military force in the form of launching pads, missile bases and ground to ground missiles aimed at major cities in the U.S., President John F. Kennedy let it be known to the world and the Soviet Union that he would not tolerate this move, that the bases would be dismantled and that any ship bringing such supplies to Cuba from Russia would be turned back if possible but, if neces sary they would even sink the ships. I am in favor of his de cision. Douglas Lawson President Kennedy handled the Cuban Crisis with superb skill. His well-planned strategy forced the Soviets lor once on the defensive. I’m in full agree ment with him on the Cuban Quarantine. He let the Commu nists know that this nation is not bluffing. It brought about the Soviet retreat of ships and the dismantling of nuclear wea pons in Cuba. We could call this a battle won without a single shot fired. However, it could be more of the Kremlin’s strategy to work on another ' troubled spot, namely Berlin. Another blockade of Ber lin by the Soviets seems almost inevitable. Douglas Gills 7.

Have an urge to be in class with your adviser at 8:20 a.m. 2. Be sure that your clock keeps accurate time. 3. Get out of bed in time to dress properly- 4. Be ready eat breakfast as early as 7:15. 5. Whether you walk or ride to school find out how much time you need, and leave home with the determination to make the deadline. Charles Scott Teachers are people too, and like students have work to do before coming to school. I have found that the most important not ONT.Y H. S. BUT COLLEGE By Katrina L. Hicks In 1957 a survey from the U. S. Secretary of Labor informed us that by 1970 the quota of un employed adults who had not obtained a high school tion would be approximately percent. This was not only alarm ing but to some people anil the Federal Bureau of Education very inspiring. Soon after this President Dwight D. Eisenhower started encouraging the Quality Education Program in all the schools of education in America. Since 1957, and there after great emphasis has been put on not quantity, but quality or Character education. Take the advice of people who know the facts.

And lo, the an gel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them; and they were sore afraid.

Catherine Horton, thinks homework now and then would be sufficient. Students might even enjoy it. It would be nice,” says Mar tha Borden, “if teachers would work out plans for homework together, and in this way no student would have too many assignments for any one night.” Gloria Middleton, thinks if teachers are going to give home work they should give briet as signments, and then the student won’t feel that he has to use all of his time on one subject. Principal, J. H. Wooten, feels that homework should be given if the student can profit by it. He feels that homework should Seniors Keceive Prizes For Essays Using as a topic “How We Can Prevent Fires at Home and at School,” Louise Buckram and James Barnes were the winners in an essay contest at Dillard during the annual Fire Preven tion Week celebration.
