H QUOTATIONS Hall of Shame In Kansas City a plan has been installed to cut down automobile accidents. If the result of the casualty is serious injury or death, a pliotograpli of the motorists will bo bung in the City Hall. This is their Hall of Shame. In Green-sboro high school this plan could be inaugurated by having the pictures of those who run in the halls, fight, bi’eak library rules, and perform other misdeeds, placed on the bulletin board in the main hall. Junior Achievement Company Today 15,000 young people between the ages of sixteen and twenty-one are learning by experience • wliat makes the wheels of business go around. They are getting an idea of what it means to finance and equip a company, sell stock, and meet a payroll. F\ir years busine.ss men had been talking about young people going out to meet the business worlil with no practical experience, but it wasn’t until a few years ago tliat someone decided to remedy this. Horace A. Moss, president of the Stratiiinore Paper eonipany, and the late Theodore N. Vail, organized the Junior Achievement comjiany, Tliis company started with only a few young people and a very small capital. Today there are more than one thousiind companies, each a 'separate business in itself, under the main organization. Sliaros of stock are sold at 25c and 50e a share. Anyone between the ages of sixteen and twenty-one may be a stockholder. The different positions arc rotated so that everyone may get experience in all tields of the business. Competition with adult con cerns is kept at a minimnm by putting only hand made articles on the market. Those young people are finding out by experience what tlioy want to take up for their life’s work. Tlicy are making some .spending money, and after lliey arc out of school unemployment is practically unknown to those who have worked for a Junior Achievement company. Much credit is duo Mr. iloss and Mr. Vail who have helped so many thousand.s of boys and girls. Our one plea is that this fine work will be available to more young people in the future. old individuals together under high stamdards. S eparate the worthwhile from the worthless and promote the highest interest of stu dents, teachers, and school. The tfilent of sucw‘s.s is notliing more (him doing what you can do well, and doing wel{ whatever you do.— Longfellow. Look within. Within is the fountain of good, and it will ever bubble up, if thou wilt ever dig.—‘Marcus A urcHiis. If people knew what an ins])iring thiiig it is to hear a man housling, .so long na lie boasts of what he really has, ! lielleve they would do it more freely and with u better grace.—IStcvcnson. Women and Children First In peace and war women and children have always come tir.st. TJiis has been so since the be ginning of time. The main reason man fights is to insure safety and protection for his loved ones. Yet, in war time, is it safety when towns arc bombed and helpless mothers see their children killed before their very eyes? Is it protection when babies too young to grasp the full significance of war, see the mother’s hand that holds them fall limp and lifeless? In one sense this is woincn and children first! World Afiairs from High School Side Lines By Sue Hall Wilson’s policy of drifting, until we had drifted into war, is definitely out of trend with the Amer ican plan of today. President Roosevelt is by no means idle, for today it is not safe to be indifferent when the movements of dictators comes hard and swift. lie has announced a limited emergency and added three new members to the executive depart ment: Loan Administrator, Jesse Jones; Works Administrator, John Carmody; Security Adminis trator, Paul McNutt. The army and navy have been ordered to increase, and heavy forces are cracking down on spy and anti-American forces. Party Pets While the rest of the world has war worries, the Republican Party has its own particular dis agreement, choosing a candidate that may well be the next president of the United States. Among the likely prospects are racket-busting Thomas Dewey, young and popular District Attorney of New York City; next is Conservative Arthur James, Governor of Pennsylvania; the son of the twenty-seventh president, Robert Taft, who has already announced his intentions; and Arthur Vandenburg, outstanding senator from Michigan , with an especial appeal for the voters in the upper brackets. The thing that is most interesting to the Republican Party, in considering this group, is the appeal, personal and otherwise, and the amount of votes these particular men can carry. Bomb Trouble With 10,000 bombing casualties a day expected in London, Britain is not to be caught napping without an organized hospital force. Two hundred and fifty transport busses have been transformed into ambulances, and the city is thoroughly dotted with first aid and casualty stations. The evacifa- tion of all mothers and children, non-essential workers, and invalids has been planned for forty- eight hours after the first raid. All poisonous snakes and animals of the London zoo have been killed. Home Coming On tile eve of the second World War the Duke of Windsor, in his home in the south of Prance, was listening to a plea from his brother, the King of England, to return home and serve his country. •In this war the Duke will have no chance to fuss al)out being coddled and protected as he was in the last conflict, for this time he will report for actual duly on the battlefields of Prance. The brothers, having settled this matter, decided, also, tliat the long sought, “Her Royal Highness” for the Duchess of Windsor, could be forgotten until a better time. While the Duchess, still minus her title, made plans for turning her French home into a hospital. Money-Minus While Argentina, Brazil and Uraguay proposed a patrol for the South American coast in ease some warring nation did try to establish a naval base there, a larger problem faced neighboring Mexico. Germany has been buying some two million dollars worth of oil a month up to September 1. With this sudden stop Mexico suffered a severe money short age. Also, the manufactured products of the Reich could no longer be sent, leaving Mexico to trade reluctantly with the United States. In the liarbors of the country nine big troubles had dropped anchor—refugee ships which have to be watched day and night. Wifli these worries the Mexican government called off its annual celebration of Independence Day. ]. Poverty Amid Plenty! I Came, I Saw, I Conquered! Can this be applied to you? Stop and think! Do you try to make a good impression? It is important to remember first'impressions are last ing. Therefore, at school, football games, parties and elsewhere, be on your best behavior and con sider how you must appear in the eyes of others. To have that “certain something” that conquers our acquaintances is what most of us desire. A few people are born with the good looks and mag netic power to do this; others are not. Yet beauty and personality can be cultivated. Beauty is only skin-deep. A beautiful face can be easily marred by a frown. Genuine beauty comes from within, shining through and reflecting the beauty of the soul. Personality is indefinable, but its place is unde niable. It is a quality that makes unattractive people radiant. It is like a magnet. It draws your acquaintances to you. If this possession is not yours, secure it. Naturalness, interest in oth ers, and cheerfulness are all forerunners of per sonality. When you walk into a room, let it be said that you came, you saw, and you conquered! Contribute to the Community Chest! THE BOOK NOOK t Library News New books in the library are now in the shelves and may be cheeked out. Suggestions by students for any books they would like to have in the library will be appreciated, as another order will be made soon for more books. THE CLASS THEY ALL WANTED High school students of Phoenix, Arizona, the Reader’s Digest reveals, have written their own text-book on etiquette. It is based on over 12,000 questions about everyday prolEems of correct be havior submitted by the puzzled students them selves. Manj’ schools are now giving courses in etiquette as a part of the regular school curriculum. Stu dents who are perfectly intelligent, but who have not been instructed by their parents in gracious liehavior, have requested these courses and are showing how necessary it is to know the best thing to do at the proper time. One school started a course in manners when teachers noticed how uncouth the children were in the lunch room. Another, because the students were ill at ease at class dances. Needless to say, after proper instruction the students began to enjoy their dances and it was noticed that every girl made it a point to introduce her escort to the chaperon. High school boys of one of the best residential districts of Cincinnati recently asked the home economies teacher to give them an etiquette course. A survey _ of ten high schools in Pennsylvania revealed that two-thirds of all the students, boys as well as girls, wanted a course or club in manners. Pupils and teachers have finally realized that knowledge of etiquette does not exclusively belong to young ladies at finishing school, but is a part of everyday living and that, incidentally, habits of poise and genuine courtesy are important factors in getting and holding jobs. This business of thinking up jokes Has got us a little daunted. The ones you want, we can’t print And the ones we’ print aren’t wanted. Flash I One Senior in school studies five hours each day. Juniors, take heed; that’s something to look forward to. Library Club Formed Library assistants and other students in the school who are interested in library work have formed a library club, which held its first meeting last Wednesday. The following officers were elected: president, Dorothy Hodnut; vice-presi dent, Virginia Barringer; secretary-treasurer, Frances Howard. The duties of this group will be to make the library more interesting and to attract a larger number of students to it, to make plans for Book Week, November 12 through 18, and a chapel program, to take over the bulletin boards and decorations of the library, and to keep picture and clipping files. Ain’t It So! Strange how many persons try tO‘ come in a door marked “Out”! Inspiration of the Moment Little drops of powder, little dabs of paint. Makes a woman’s freckles look just like they ain’t. Library Regulations The student council library committee met and drew up the following regulations regarding conduct. 1. No loafing allowed in the library. 2. No disturbance of any type. Outside of these two simple things, there are no restrictions. In other words students are expected to behave like ladies and gentlemen. The March of Times— 1919— CAROLYN COKERl’S first words were “Hi ya. Butch” to the little boy across the street. This event launched her on the well known career of coquetry. 1920— BILL (DOCK) AUSTIN gives that famous laugh of his for the first time and his mother thought it was a shade flying up. Now his mother says it sounds like a T Model Ford without a mufiler. 1921— BEN CRAWFORD starts to school. He surprised his teacher, by saying “da-da” before he was promoted to the third grade. Such intelligence, my, my! yVe wish that we knew how to get tickets for reserved places in the lunch line. Weather Report Thursday: Showers. Fi’iday: Showers. Saturday: Showers—but no soap. A famous English explorer has left for Africa to find a race of giants. All we have to do is to go into a movie and they all sit down in front of us. The Reason The telephone wires were sagging, Some considered it the wind. The lineman said they were sending A wire photo of “Loady” Glenn. Wonder how Mark Altvater and Joe Leak would ' feel if they could hear how good our band is this year, (Without them.) Gee! It’s strange tliat the very pupils who are late in the morning are the first in line at lunch! There’s Undiscovered Talent in G. H. S. (Sung to the tune of “Beer Barrel Polka”) Roll us the score, boys, Go down the field on the run. Roll up the score, boys Let’s have some old-fashioned fun. Strive for a touch down; Fling that old ball in the air. Now’s the time to tell the world, boys, G. H. S. plays fair. Surprise! That was by our own Miss Louise Smith! Dear Students: We wish to remind you that we haven’t got a dust pan, but we still get all the dirt. And so, until two weeks from today, we remain your Westover Terrace correspondents.
