Essay; Cited
BT RICHMOND STEWART
The works of a creative artist be
gins at any time and any age. This
was Indicated by Miss Deborah
Bass, a sophmore at the J. W. Li
gon Jr.-Sr. High School by her
composition entitled "And So They
Marched.”
The theme for her essay, which
was a part of har English project,
was Influenced by the movements
of certain groups as they express
personal Involvement and dissatis
faction with certain customs or ha
bits that are considered unjust
Miss Bass' essay, along with some
others, is the result of an Engltsh
class of excelerated students taught
by Mrs. M. W. Allison. According
to Mrs. Allison the Tenth Grade
English classes of Ligon High
School recently completed a unit
on "The Essay.” As a culmination
to the study of this literary work,
the students wrote original essays
on a topic of Interest to them.
The eesays were restricted In
length to less than two-hundred
words. Students were encouraged
i to write the familiar” assay and
to give their opinions on a restrict
; ed topic. The essay. "And So Thsy
Marched ”, written by Miss Bass fol
-1 lows:
AND SO THEY MARCHED
"They wanted to have education
al righto so they may be capable of
attending any school of their choice.
They could not, and so they march
ed. When they completed high
school, many were deprived of at
tending a college of their choice,
and so they marched. After the
hard trial of struggling through col
lege, they were qualified to fulfill
any positions, whereas, they were
not permitted, and so they march
ed
“When completing • hard day’s
work, many wanted to spend their
leisure in some places that they
were not allowed to enter, end so
they marched. For enjoyment, many
wanted to attend a opectol movie
to see a good picture but were not
given the privilege of going there,
and so they marched. For recrea
tion, some wanted to participate In
special events In sports, but they
were not permitted to sit in on the
games, and so they marched.
Marching —marching— onward,
forward — and with dispatch, they
march to destiny.”
