We ask your sincere supoort^and we will in turn strive to produce a school paper which ■■you, will be proud of, Charlie Jigf_,etts Reportorial Staff Lewis Greene Robert Scott Claude Epps Editorial Gwendetta Pratt Margaret Green Melvj'n Balthrop The first edition of our school paper finds us with quite a fev/ new teachers and students. Although we miss our old teachers, we have become accustomed to our nev; teachers and are doing fine, ■ Remember our last year’s teachers who are in the armed forces of the nation, ]/Rien we think of them and our own relatives in the forces, we should be inspired to buy more war bonds and stamps, We are helping them very definitely when we add our scrap metal and iron to the grovfing pile in front of our school. Every piece of iron or metal helps. That old iron your grandmother used^ which once held the dcr-r open, for instance, makes thirty ’’pineapples" officially called hand grenades. These are knhwn to kill at least five and wound twenty-five to tliirty persons. Cooking grease that you once threw out is now w'anted by the government. Save each small ajnount until you have at least a pound. When you take care of your clothes, your car, your'home, ana alx the things you need in civilian life, you are aiaing our beys who are in the service. Many of us do not yet realize tlie seriousness of the war situation, ' Before this preser.t conflict is ove'r, it is believed that our standard of living will be decidely lowered. We have been o enied manj’' conveniences, but according to world-wide reports, the worst is yet to come. Let us do the little things that will help the armed forces in a big way. Don’t forget, we have this \.ar to win I At this point, I would like to thank the laembers of the staff, the student body and faculty for their support in making this, our first edition possible. Sirice the nev;spaner is the most efficient ■forin of expressing oublic opinion, we hope that the students will consider "The Cainpus Herald" as a paper for the students-and by the students. The school paper is the best v.ay of keeping every student informed of v.hat other students are doing in various school activities, A box will soon be placed in some convenient place in the builaing, where the stuaents carl-enter their'articles. These will be checkeu over ana the best -published. ICU THAi'^KFUL?—By Izola Hendei'son 31any of us spend a good deal of -■ tine complaining about the things that we do not have. As students, ive worry our parents because wm can't have the same things our frieiids have. But how many of us ever stop to consider and appreciate the things we already have? In this iiionth we celebrate one o^ our most joyful holidays, Thanks- giviiig Day, This Thanksgiving Day ^ should iiave a special meaning for all ‘of us. Although the v«ar prevents our having sojaethings we want, we have much to be thankful for. There are jaany , countries where the children can not go to school, can not get food or clothes. We still have food, clothes, schools ana churches, W'e have so much to be thankful for. We should be - thankful for our lives, our friends, homes, churches, schools, fooa and . health all through the year. We don't alvj-ays have to live in fear of bodily danger.
