TERESA
CREAGH
IflglSf
Well, I suppose there is only one
way to begin this week — School
has begun!!!! No matter what that
statement may mean to different
individuals, it is a serious one.
To some, school is an exciting
place,' a place to have a good time.
To others, it is a place to learn
simply for the sake of increased
knowledge.
/To still others, it is just a place
to go because there is nothing else
better to do.
What then is the real purpose of
school? I believe that it is to grow;
to develop young people aurally,
mentally, physically, and spiritually,
so-that we may be better equipped
to face tomorrow’s world.
, In this capacity, school is of vital
importance, because not only is il
a place to learn but also a place
tp have fun and to share exciting
experiences.
This school year should be an ex
cellent one, but even with our won
derful faculty, administration, and
facilities, much of the effectiveness
of Jones Central depends on us, the
students.
Therefore it is imperative that
we give our full support to everj
facet and program of our school,
never forgetting that Jones Cen
tral is a school of which we can be
very proud.
Robin O’Bryan has returned from
Oklahoma where he has spent a
good portion of the summer. Yes,
he has hung up his boots and sad
dles and has given up “ridin’ the
range” for awhile. He returned
home looking like a real cowboy.
NOTICE: Patricia Brock is ar
riving back in town this weekend.
That is all that I’m going to say;
you cih take it from there.

Wonder . . .
Why Sue Booth wanted to go to
Jacksonville last Sunday?
What happened to Robin O’Bry
an’s new Corvette ? ?
If anything will be left of At
lantic Beach after this weekend ?.
Who was looking for Brenda Hill
last Saturday night.
If Nancy ’OBryan is about to get
in some more trouble?
Remember that our first football
game is Friday night (Sept. 4), and
we’re going to win!
