Wanted: Alive By Brenda Crowder Students who possess the three V’s: Vim, Vigor and Vitality- The long-ago spirit that was once in our clutches is slowly, but surely escaping. It is our duty to recapture and revive the Dillard spirit and keep it for ever alive. Pep means spirit, energy and win, and the pep rally without these qualities cannot function properly. There are always those who think of a pep rally as a means to get out of class. The real pur pose of the rally for these stu dents is lost. Take a look at the basketball games. They are supposed to be for the enjoyment of the spec tators, but because they spend so much time going to and fro - from seats to the concession stand, they spend very little 1 time watching the game. Others ] who would like to see Ihe game, ! cannot because of people block- , ing their view. I Let’s revive the good old Dil lard spirit and prove that we know how to enjoy a game. Poem Of The Month The Robin’s Song By Vera Hardman Today I heard a robin call, A gay little bird was she, And she said if I looked quite closely, I’d find A nest in the old oak tree. Her joy was the kind that knew no bounds As she darted here and there— And a jauntier, gay, little red breasted bird Never was found anywhere. But one of these days when the eggs are hatched, And she’s hunting our garden for food There won’t be time for her gay little song, She’ll be busy feeding her brood. So now we beseech you, our wee feathered friend, To tell of your joy and sing. And herald the flowers and April rains And tell the whole world it is spring. Knowledge Of Today Challenge For The Future We are preparing for future challenge through knowledge of today. We are gaining the skills and information that are im portant for a successful person. We as students are taught to read or write one or more languages, to use a system of numbers and to acquire knowl edge of such subjects as history, literature, and science. The im portance of our future is deter mined by our ability to apply knowledge to our daily life. Recent Appointments Place Two New Teachers Recent adjustments have brought two new teachers to Dillard faculty, one a replace ment and one an addition. Mrs. Gloria Kelly, teacher of social studies 401, 421 and 109 replaces Mrs. Delores Hayes who is on maternity leave. Mrs. Kelly, prior to coming to Dillard was a special teacher of home economics, O’Berry Training School, Goldsboro, N. C. Mrs. Helen B. Johnson, a Dil lard graduate and former teach er of Harnett High School, Dunn, N. C. is the addition. Mrs. Johnson has charge of English 101 and 102. We know that all persons are not the same; but we all must learn to reason logically. Schools stress learning activi-J ties that develop the power of reasoning. The study of history,! geography, social science and literature helps develop social and civic knowledge in students, j A group of persons cannot, live together happily for any length of time unless they agree to act in certain ways. We need education to obtain membership in the future society. Through education we acquire the knowl edge needed in future life. See ing and doing makes education more meaningful, such as watch ing an egg hatch and helping perform an experiment. All of these advantages lead to better knowledge for the fu ture through the educated man. He will always be open-minded and never laugh at new ideas before making a decision; he weighs all the evidence. He will always work easily with others and use tact and consideration in dealing with others. He will respect individual differences. In the near future the man who has acquired knowledge will be better equipped to take his place in community life; he can advance further in his chosen work; he will be at ease with all kinds of people, and he is likely to earn more because he has taken the knowledge of the past to succeed in the future. Doris Daniels QUOTABLE QUOTES Kites rise highest against thei wind-not with it.— Winston Churchill * * • • * ‘Tis education forms the com mon mind; Just as the twig is bent the tree’s inclined— ***** Alexander Pope Students Voice Opinions On Teenage Drinking By Donald Weathers On a recent poll conducted at Dillard on the question, “How do you feel about teenage drink ing,” these students gave the following replies: Sarah Spicer expresses the opinion that high school stu dents should not drink. She feels that the average high school student is too irresponsible to be given this privilege. Willie Jacobs feels that drink ing is harmful to the growing teenager and that it should be discouraged among all high school students. Bobby Coley thinks drinking in the early teenage years is bad and harmful, but he also adds that once a person reaches the age of seventeen, sociable drink ing should be allowed. Mable Best believes that teen agers should not drink, but if a person feels that he must drink his drinking should be done with moderation. Robert Grant feels that drink ing is all right if the parents consent, but if the parents don’t consent he is opposed to drink ing. Linda Hall feels that drink ing is all right on special oc- cassions. In another survey it was found that 30 per cent of the juniors and seniors of Dillard do drink and 70 percent do not. Wear And Where By Joyce E. Hubbard Is what to wear a problem for you? Classroom wear should be neat in appearance and comfort able to wear. Dresses or skirts and sweaters^flats, loafers, or tennis shoes are the appropri ate attire for attending classes, for campus wear, and for socia lizing. The boys wear blazers, slacks, sweaters, or sports shirts with loafers or tennis shoes. This type of dress is also worn to casual functions, such as mixer or dances. Generally speaking, the attire for football games is rather) dressy. Suits, dresses, skirts and sweaters are worn with flats or heels. Suits, white shirts, and ties are worn by men. More casual clothes are worn during the winter basketball season. Skirts, sweaters, flats or loafers, are worn by the girls and slacks with sports shirts or sweaters are worn by the boys. The typical coed will wear slacks, shirts or sweaters along with loafers and flats. Semi-formal attire is in mode for the majority- The girls wear from a cocktail dress or short formal to their Sunday best, depending on the dance. Boys wear dark suits and dark socks. Formal attire is worn for BOOK REVIEWS By Curtiss Phillips The U-2 Affair: A U. S. surveillance craft downed over Russian territory, U. S. denies any act of espio nage, and Francis Gary Powers gives his version of the flight. These events suddenly arouse suspicion among countries all over the world and Internation al peace is again shrouded by clouds of doubt, fear, and sus picion. For intriguing and sus penseful reading try “The U-2 Affair.” None Dare Call It Treason: John A. Stormer Public officials of the U. S. State Department have constant ly been admonished of existing subversive activities, on the part of pro-communists, within the very nucleus of the government. These warnings almost always go unheeded and the Commu nists continue having their field days by undermining all anti communist programs and pro viding a perfect setting for government upheaval and cor ruption. For modern and histori cal reading pick up a copy of “None Dare Call It Treason.” The Bay of Pigs; Haynes Johnson Why did the proposed inva sion of Cuba fail? Who gave the order to attack? Did the U. S. lose much of its prestige be cause of this terrible blunder? All these questions are answered in Haynes Johnson’s “The Bay of Pigs.” The stories are related by all the men concerned, of ficers as well as enlisted men. To get all the answers read “The Bay of Pigs.” Deveraux Street Dragsters By Michael Pulley Do you remember John Har- Vtjy? IllJ w ex^ tills lliilc Vioy wlio may have lived next door to you or me. He may have been a member of our junior or senior class, but John was killed on Deveraux Street by a fanatic driver. If you are a Dillard student or if you live on Deveraux Street, certainly you have notic ed the speeding situation exer cised by some drivers, frequent ly friends of Dillardites. Surprisingly enough this care less driving is not done by Dil lard students alone; older and possibly graduates who come by after school actually commit this deed. Obviously some thinks it’s cute and exciting to fly by on a two lane street partially covered by students. Girls, please tell your chauf- fuers to slow down. Remember, the life they take may be yours. This problem is not the polices’ and parents’ alone but it also belong to us.
