IN NEW BERN TODAY
All of the students at New Bern
High school were sorry to hear that
Mis. Whitley was leaving the staff
in Dr. Spear’s office, and moving
from the city. She was always cour
teous. kind and considerate. We
think it was a nice gesture on the
part of the faculty to give her a
farewell party.
ft is to be hoped that by now
all of you have recovered from the
disappointment of losing our first
football game of the season at
Morehead City. Tonight’s first
home game against Washington is
very important, since it opens the
Northeastern Conference competi
tion. Be sure to be on hand, and
help out with the cheering.
Our rooting at Morehead wasn’t
as good as it could have been, and
we need to be out in greater force
at the local High school stadium
tonight. Any team can play better
ball with cheering in the stands, so
come prepared to yell for the
Bears.
Again we want to thank the busi
nessmen comprising the New Bern
Boosters Club for their wonderful
support and assistance. With such
help from adults, many of whom
don’t have sons and daughters in
school, we as students should show
the same sort of spirit.
Although the New Bern High
school auditorium is one of the
largest in the State, it was almost
completely filled when we had our
first assembly program last week.
Mot until we get together in one
place do we realize how big a
crowd of 900 students really is.
Don’t forget, our clubs get under
way next Wednesday, No matter
what club you belong to, it wdll on
ly be as strong and successful as
its members make it. .A good start
is necessary for a worthwhile year.
Why not drop a line to your
friends among the college crow'd
occasionally? They will appreciate
hearing from you, especially those
homesick freshmen. And, of course,
it’s fun to hear from them.

MEDITATION
Learning to live is an art, and
requires guided effort to find hap
piness. The joy you reap comes
from the seeds you sow, just as the
beautiful plant or flower.
You also receive as you give.
This does not mean money, but
what you give of yourself. Some
times what you give is mere words
or expression.
Test it yom-self by taking a
walk around several blocks. You’ll
be surprised at how your attitude
radiates. You will see those who
need a kind word. Some need a
compliment, some need an encour
agement, others need condolence
or sympathy.
Say something good that fits the
event — their personality, their
characteristic, or endeavor. These
are the seeds of happiness you sow,
Watch them grow. Turn and watch
the renewed vigor of the one
whose ego you have just boosted
It’s like a web that grows and
grows, and the most wonderful
part of it is you’ve been caught in
it too. You will surely have a won
derful day. Gloom will spread in
the same way, but once it’s started
it is with you to stay.
So, start with a prayer and a
smile—allow your day to flower
into something woi’thwhile.
—EMMETT L. BRINSON.
NEW BERN MALES—
(Continued from Page 1)
there weren’t as many ulcers, ei
ther.
Anyhow, the only reason the av
erage New Bern male doesn’t peel
off a lot more—especially during
the hot season—is the acute aware
ness that his knees are knobby,
his upper torso pigeon-breasted,
and his paunch prolific.
In his heart, every guy would
like to wear Bermudas. It’s the
Tarzan in his soul, and a throw
back to the cave man era. Despite
the grotesque dimensions of his
physical architectm’e, he would
still amble along Middle street in
Bermudas if his wife didn’t bring
him to his senses with threats or
ridicule.
So, hold your tongue, Mr. New
Bernian, when next you feel the
urge to poke fun at a fat gal in
shorts.
