DR. LEBAL SPEAKS
TO ASSEMBLY
Dr. E. Lebal from Germany
spoke to us about the education
al system in Germany. The dif
ference between American ed
ucation and German education
varies quite a bit. Instead of
waiting until you reach college
to pay for your education, you
must pay when you reach the
fifth grade. You must also
choose what you wish to
be in life, when entering the
fifth grade. This is necessary be
cause of the fact that from the
5th-12th grade separate schools
are attended in order for you to
prepare for your life’s work.
In my opinion, this is a great
disadvantage. Children are forc
ed to go into different fields at
the age of 10 or 11. Most of the
decisions are made by the pa
rents. At that age you probably
feel that you want to be what
ever your parents want you to
be, but as you mature, your
mind changes. Unfortunately,
you cannot change schools un
less your family is rich and very
few rich families are found in
Germany.

GIRLS VISIT BENNETT
COLLEGE
Each year Bennett College,
Greensboro, North Carolina has
I Youth Day at which time high
school senior girls from various
places visit Bennett College.
On March 29th and 30th two
of our senior girls, Velma Bell
and lola Baldwin, attended this
annual meeting. Discussions
were held and a film was shown
to guide the girls in choosing
vocations for which they are best
suited. Points brought out in the
film to consider in choosing
a job are (1) to analyze your
self and your ability, (2) to
study the occupation, and (3)
to consider your financial prob
lem. There were many more
minor points to be considered.
The freshmen girls at Bennett
acted as hostesses to the visit
ing girls. The trip was both
pleasant and beneficial to lola
and Velma who may attend
Bennett next year.
Eighth Grades Have
Orientation
HIGH SCHOOL AND YOU
Since March we have been
discussing “What Do You Want
To Become?” “High School and
You!” “My Future Career!’’ and
“The Three Main Reasons For
Going To High School.”
Many of our students would
like to become nurses, airplane
hostesses, teachers, druggists,
veternarians, doctors, beautici
ans, W. A. A. C.’s, Mathematics
teachers, home-economics teach
ers, and the like.
We have written papers on
“High School and You!” “My
Future Career” and other act
ivities in High School.
The three main reasons for
going to high school are:
1. To better prepare you to
earn a living.
2. To get more out of life.
3. To be of greater service and
to do more good in this world.
Miss Pope, the Home-Econom
ics teacher, came to talk to us
on the advantages of taking
home-economics next year.
These are some of the things
you learn.
I 1. How to prepare foods.
2. How to make your future
home happy.
3. How to prepare a budget.
4. To know the different kinds
of fabrics to buy when making
an article.
5. Child care and manage
ment.
But the main purpose of tak
ing Home-Economics is to help
pupils to prepare for home
making with all its responsibil
ities and advantages.

Our Visit To The
Vocational Agriculture
Department
As a part of our freshman
orientation program the boys
of the eighth grade, section B
visited the shop to learn of their
shop work for next year.
Mr. Smith, the Vocational Ag
riculture teacher, gave a lecture
on the work we would do next
year. He showed us the record
book that would be necessary
for each boy to keep. Then he
told us that in shop work just as
in a club we had rules to follow
and he assured us that if we
follow these rules accidents
were not likely to happen. He
said that the boys in their
freshman year were taught to
use hand tools because in the
home there are not always elect
ric tools to work with. He show
ed us the electric tools and the
hand tools and a chicken incu
bator.
The boys showed much inter
est and asked questions during
the discussion period.
