It responds to the people’s will. More than any other American institution, it has been shaped directly by the tireless ef forts of the people. . . . “The home was the first school, Parents were the first teachers. .They will always be teachers. Nc public school operates effectively jyery long without a high level of parental understanding, interest, and participation. “The public school is free. Its doors are open to all the children Df all the people regardless of vealth, birth or social background. Free public education in the Jnited States was not adopted as an inspiration of the moment. It a result of three centuries of Experience. It began, and con Inues, a basic ideal in a free Iworld. “The public school is the unify ing force in America. It makes our people one. No other institution touches the life of every citizen. The public school binds us to i gether in common ideals and pur poses. It symbolized the motto of the United States “Out of Many, i One.” ... “The public school is a bright flight in a world shadowed by the DECEMBER BIRTHDAYS Dec. 1 Dec. 1 Dec. 5 Dec. 7 Dec. 11 Dec. 19 Dec. 20 Dec. 22 Carolyn Spivey Bobby Nickles Clara Ann Pickens Betty Lou Smith Jimmy Adams .

Down The Hall Junior Class Square Dance On Dec. 13 the Junior class of Swannanoa High holds their first square dance of the year. It will be held in the new Swannanoa Community Building. This is the first of many square dances that the Junior class is going to have. Prices are 25c stag and 50c coup le. Everyone come and have a good time. 10th Grade Cooks The cooks of the 10th grade decided to plan feats to test their skill at cooking. So dividing into groups they made out menus, and, the best part of all, they could have guests which, of course, were all teachers. The menus consisted largely of chicken, potatoes, hot bread, but ter, green vegetables, salads, and the dessert and a beverage. All went well except well may be a few things such as breaking one of the beautiful crystal glasses, or forgetting to put the plates under the dessert dishes, but as I said all did go well. Visitors At Swan. High One of our visitors last week was Ralph Shook who has just completed boot-training in San Diego, Calif. Before entering the Navy he worked in Chicago, 111. He surely is a cute sailor. Thomas Allen, who is in the Air Force, also visited us. He is home on a 30-day furlough. In case you don’t know, he’s Harold Allen’s brother. Keith Gant was another visitor. He’s Donald Gant’s brother and a former student at S.H.S. James Gibbs, Jo Anne Ensley, Joyce Shope, Joyce McMahan are frequent visitors around school. They visit us about once a week.

They talked on “Good Citizenship” and the essay contest held each year by the club. Only members of the Senior class are eligible to enter this contest. The awards are, $50 in U. S. Defense Bonds for first place, $25 for second place, and $10 third place. There will be four honor able mentions. In the International contest, scholarships are awarded. These scholarships will be available for any college or university. Civitan is primarily a service organization. Through its local clubs it not only sponsors many worthwhile projects, but actively supports various movements which have better government for their aim. Civitan believes that one way to insure good government is to direct the thinking of our high school boys and girls, our leaders of tomorrow.

The trouble with most of the expert opinion is that the experts seldom agree. A good neighbor knows how to live and let other people alone. The Student Council discussed the aims of the council at a spe cial assembly on Thursday, Dec. 4. James Stroupe, president of the student body, presided at the program which began by the sing ing of the “Star Spangled Ban ner.” Phyllis Hutchins, vice-pres ident, led the devotionals from the Book of Proverbs. Five council members ma/'e brief talks on the five aims or aspects of the Student Council. Following are summaries of these talks: I. Student Council Organization Jim Ward: The name of the organization is the Swannanoa High School Student Council. The purposes are: to develop loyalty and school spirit, to encourage and develop leadership among stu dents, to develop a sense of re sponsibility in school activities, to encourage all worthy school organ izations and to advance individual participation in school activities. The powers of the council shall be determined by the executive committees composed of: the principal, the advisor(s). the coun cil president, vice-president and the secretary. The powers and duties of the representatives are to: Attend all meetings of the council, perform such duties as the president shall direct, faithfully represent his homeroom or club, then report new ideas back to the council. Election of Members: The president is elected by the entire student body in the spring of the school year, from the rising senior class. The vice-president is elected by entire student body in the spring of the school year from the rising junior class. The secre tary-treasurer is elected by the entire student body in the spring of the school year from the ris ing sophomore class. The repre sentatives are elected in the first month of the fall semester. The council meets once every two weeks. Meetings may be called by the president or faculty advisor. II. Broader Club Program As most of you know we now have only five clubs in Swan nanoa High. These include the “S” club, F.F.A., “Beta” club and the Safety Patrol. We have a lot of students who are interested in other things but we don’t have enough clubs to take care of these interests. I have two questions that I want everyone to think about. What is the purpose of a club? What is my purpose in joining? Well, every club has its own purpose but here are some that I think every club should include: to learn new skills, to practice and perfect old skills, to exchange ideas, to serve others, to have fun. Once you know the purposes of a club then you’ll know whether or not you want to join. Your purpose for joining should be to meet new people as well as new ideas. Another good purpose for joining should be to learn how to get along with others. So you see we do need more clubs in our high school. I’d like to say this in behalf of the Student Council. We would be glad to help anyone who is interested in joining or organizing a club. —Barbara Harding III. Improving Student Responsibility John Brown: Improving stu dent responsibility is one of the aims of the Student Council. Under this title there are three major topics: citizenship, leader ship, and student government. Citizenship — There are many things included under citizenship. The first thing we think of is citizenship in school. Being a good citizen is not only keeping quiet in the classroom but it is also the way you act towards God and to your community. A good citizen does many things to improve his community. It is the aim of the Student council to build good cit izens today because they will be our leaders of tomorrow. Leadership: In the Student Council each person should be a leader. This does not go on only in school but after you are out af school and participate in things your community does, this train ing will help you. Leadership and citizenship go together.

T. A. Will Meet Thursday, Dec. 18 The special Christmas meet m t f t Hie Swannanoa P-TA will be held on Thursday, Dec. 18, in (he school auditorium. Pres ident O. M. Alexander will call the meeting to order promptly at 7:30 in order to allow full lime for the program. The special program will in clude verses, songs, and stunts by the primary grades. Last year’s Christmas program was acclaimed as the best ever pre sented at P-TA. The senior dra matics class will also present a short Christmas skit. This is one meeting of the year that everyone attends. Be sure you support your P-TA. Student Government: This operates like the state govern ment. Like any government the Student Council operates under a constitution and by-laws. We are all given an opportunity to participate in our Student Council. We want to make our Student Council the kind of a council that will develop student responsibil ity. V. Improving the School Jack Hunter: Improving the school is one more aim of the stu dent Council. By improving the school we hope to help the phys ical looks of the building, like we did last year when we painted and repaired the trash cans, and some other things. We have a new project coming up this year and that is fixing the damaged lockers. Another way to improve the school is just like Betty Lou Smith has told us, we all have to work closer together. When we do this we will get quicker and better re sults. We also can use the Bulletin Board, which will boost the morale and interests of a student. We can help improve the school by giving awards to students for some outstanding things they have done that usually would not be recognized as an outstanding deed. Won’t you all help to make our school a better school. IV. Closer Relationships Be tween Faculty and Student Betty Lou Smith: This subject should be discussed from the point af view of both faculty and stu dents. I have asked some of the teach ers and students for their opinions. Here are some of the students opinions: (1) Parties should be given for the students and the faculty so they can get to know each other better. (2) Students should discuss their problems with their teachers. (3) Teachers should treat all students alike. (4) The students should co-oper ate with the teachers. (5) The students could remem ber their teachers on their birth day and at Christmas by sending them a card. And if by any chance they have an extra special teacher they could give him a little gift to let him know they remembered. Now, for some of the teachers apinions: (1) Students should let teachers know about their problems and routine of work at home. Maybe the teachers would be more con siderate when giving homework. (2) When the teacher has to be away from school for a little while, he could let some of the better students take over until he gets back. (3) If a student is especially in terested in a certain field he should let his teacher know. May ae the teacher could suggest some subjects that would help prepare aim for this special field. (4) At the beginning of the year the teacher might give the stu dents an outline of what they should accomplish that year. (5) Teachers should find out what the student is interested in jutside of his regular classwork. (6) The students should realize hat teachers are human beings iJlllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllliiliiiiiiiiiiiiimiii PORTABLE MIKER A lightweight, moderate-priced mixer Weighs only 3 pounds Yet it is powerful enough to do those tough mixing jobs So convenient to use, because you can carry it to any part of the kitchen to do your mixing.
