Ff Ji Editorial “The thing that goes the farth est toward making life worth while, “That does the most and' costs the least is just a pleasant smile.” If every high school student would remember this little rhyme, what a group of happy faces our school would have! Nothing helps any individual more than a smile, a grin, or a kind word when things seem to be going wrong, and noth ing reflects your type of nature or develops your personality more than a cheerful countenance. Don’t turn your smiles on and off like a fountain—keep them turned on all the time, radiating happiness and good-will to those- about you. Look up, put a song in your heart, and smile!—Kathryn Oliver. HAVE THEY ALWAYS SAID TIPS FOR TEENS THE j^ ^W^ #£#«» THURSDAY, MARCH 31, 1949 RFD ^TRImM N. £ PAGE THREE Edwin—-Don’t it cald you?

Miss Spotlight u Biography * Of A Teacher If yo{u visited Fairmont high school and asked to be shown into the French clas, the door would probably be opened for you by a very slight, gentle and mannerly lady who would say to you in her quiet way, “suppose you come in and be seated.” This school marm who presides over the French class is Miss Fylma Wates—a good tea cher and a perfect lady. Miss Wates, christened Wylma Anne, was born in Olanta, South Carolina, January 4, 1928. She was the older of two girls. Her father is a merchant in the town of Olanta and her mother teaches in the public schools. Whether it came from her school teacher mother or not, Miss Wates had an early liking for the teaching pro fession. She told me that she used to play school with her dolls, and though she doesn’t instruct dolls any more, she has followed the childhood pastime through the years. In high school Miss Wates took a fancy to basketball and went out for guard all four years. She M ilwas an honor student for she be- T longed to the Beta Club and was valedictorian of the senior class. Here, too, she took piano and learned to appreciate music—she plays the piano in her spare time. In 1944, Miss Wates entered Coker College in Hartsville, South Carolina. It was here that she decided to be a French teacher and before long she was elected secre tary and treasurer of the French club. She sems to have had a flair for the drama also, for she was a member of the Queen Bess Players and Alpha Phi Omega— the National Honorary Dramatics Society. She was also a member of the International Relations Club and goalkeeper on the class hockey team. Always a good student, she was on the Dean’s List and, was graduated “cum laude” in 1948. After graduation, Miss Wates went to Middlebury, Vermont where she attended the French School at Middlebury College for six weeks. All of he rteachers here were native French and as the students entered the school, they gave a promise to these teachers not to speak anything but the French language during the entire time they were there. Regular .courses were offered in French Literature, grammar, etc. Immed iately following her return to Olanta, Miss Wates accepted a position in the Fairmont Schools and she teaches first and second year French as well as Typing and General Science. To describe the lady is not easy because she is very modest and wouldn’t tell me much about her self. I did find that she likes movies and enjoys reading all good literature. Her favorite color is lavender and it goes well with her dark hair. She is very neat and dainty ’and has a very soft voice. She heartily dislikes blow gum and of course a noisy classroom. All in all, she is as nice as a teacher can be, and is wholly dedicated to her work. We, as students, are glad that she is a part of our school life. Miss Spotlight this month is a very cute and popular member of the sophomore class. She has a basketball suit and plays a mean forward. She hasn’t gotten to play in many of the games this year, but she’d like to make, varsity next year. She’ll do it too! Her current flame is from Orrum by the name of James Leggette. He gave her a lovely identification bracelet for Christmas. Could it be Love?. Miss Spotlight is always well dressed. She is the long and lanky type with blue eyes and straw colored hair. She’s always bub bling over with personality so, of course, she has many friends. If you haven’t guessed by now who she is, I’ll give you another hints— her first name begins with C. Guess who! Mr. Spotlight Mr. Spotlight this month is a member of the junior class. You saw him in the Junior Play as one of the leading characters, the vil- lian, no less. You know; he really looks cute in a mustache. He is very vain about his hair, and it is rumored that he combs it at the most peculiar time—like during a football game. He plays football rather well, goes out for intramural basketball, and right now he’s get ting his pitching arm in shape for basbeall season. Mr. Spotlight drives a black Hudson »which, incidentally, sees quite a bit of the roa dfrom here to Lake View. His most current love light is Sarah Alice Elving- ton. He just loves physics and makes good grades too. Now geo metry is another matter which is too lengthy to discuss. You know him by now, don’t you? Sophomores SHOULD YOU KISS HER???? - - She has her key in her hand and it’s time to call the date quits. She’s looking at you, and there’s a light in her eyes that says, “Thank You” more loudly than her words. So you think—“I may.as well try.” You know full well that' she’s thinking—"but this is my first date with you — what will you think of me if I kiss you right off the bat?” So she says "NO." You marshal some argument in favor of doing so. She says that she doesn’t know you well enough, and you say you know her well enough already to know that you’d like to kiss her good night, and isn’t that enough? She says "not quite.” She’s not in the habit of kissing everybody she goes out with and what makes you think you are special. Well, I think kissing’s fun, too, but the thing I don’t think is fun is the way you talk about it after wards. You argued and argued with that girl until you got your way. You talked her down, you made her break her rules. You made her think there was some thing special about you, •— and you’ve told her you'd value her kiss as something special. But you don’t—if you slip the word to the boys the next day. If even in your private thoughts you decide that it wasn’t so hard. You persuaded her to kiss you—you wanted her to—so don’t blab about her be cause she did. Keep your special events special—and to yourself. That’s a sign you’re a scholar, a gentleman, and a very smooth date. inauguration two years ago, the National Committee on Boys and Girls club work, reports.
