Rev. ,T R. Manley, pastor of
Rock U il Baptist Church, Chapel
Hill, N. C.. was the gu“st rpeaRer
for ‘-he assembly p r o g r .a m on
Monday, Januaiy 16, 195U. Rev
Manley brought a lasting lesson
to the toys and girls through an
illustration of a straight pin. He
compared the lives of boys and
girls with a straight pin, pointing
out that the pin is sharp, straight
and has a heed. The pin lias to be
hai'D and straight to serve its
Durpo.'.e. A pin 'without a head
would not be ot much service.
.All parts of the r'traight pin have
purpo.C:;. It we are to have a
worthwhile puipcse we must live
straight lives. Boys and girls can
live straight lives by being obe-
lient. truthful, honest and kind.
We can do the cjsrrect things at
ell times by using our heads.

Rev. L. Upshaw pastor of the
St. Paul Methodist Churcli,
Chapel Hill. N. C., gave all of
the high school students good
resolutions with which to begin
the new year in his talk, “Tak
ing Advantage of Your Oppor
tunities,” in the high school as
sembly on January 6. Rev.
Upshaw made brief comparsions
between the educational and fi
nancial advantages of young peo
ple of years ago and the
advantages of young people of
to-day. Rev. Upshaw stated that
the average girl or boy to-day
has a weekly allowance which
almost equal the amount of money
spent for food for a week in some
families of a few years ago. Rev.
Upshaw said that boys and girls
should learn to use their money
wisely. He als(3 compared the
school building and equipment
with that of years ago. Rev. Up
Why ! Like
World History
I like the study of 'World His
tory .not because I have a “B”
average so far, but because I
am very intrested in it. I am in
terested in the 'background of
civilization; the story of man and.
his world and the many things
which have happened before we
were barn. The I'lsmes of people,
things, anci events of other days
are strange to us. It is here that
we can turn to history to help
us. Fortunately, for us, histori
ans have written;, down accounts
of many of the ispportant events
that have happened. This we can
read because histpry is the rec
ord of all that jman has ever
said or done ofMmportance up
to the present time.
u
I would like to. tell y.ou some
thing about two groups of people
that we have studied in World
History, the Egyptians and the
Greeks.
The Egyptians ,had many gods.
Each god was believed to be a
spec.ial protector. T here were al
so other gods whom ail the peo.-
ple worshiped. These gods re
presented the forces. of nature
s\ici't as the sun god. Many tem
ples were built for the gods.

Lincoln Tigers, P'oy
For March ot Dirr.GS
The Lincoln High School bas
ket ball teams played host to
the Chapel Hill Clowns in a ben
efit game for the March of Dimes
Dri-''' on Thursday night, Feb-
rimry 2.
A large crowd was on hand to
sec the Tigers win the double-
header. The girls won by a score
jof 13 7. The boys won by a score

education seriously. [The Gr-'ciks hr /e made gr'^ '’on-
tributions in the fields of drama,
architecture, soulturing, and nat
ural science. Their scholars laid
the foundation for mathematics,
and physics, and early writings
about invsible atoms-, planetary
motions, and many other prob
lems which have been worked
out in the laboratories of mo
dern times.
Without a fair knowledge of
what happened in the past, one
may become utterly confused
about present and future hap
penings. I feel that world history
is not only a subject but a “must”
in the lives of all intellectual
beings.
