CLEAR LOGIC IN
OUR REASONING
RAINING ‘
By Bonnie Ruth Digby |
It ign’t raining rain to me, |
It’s raining daffodils; |
In cvery dimpled drop 1 sce |
Wild flowers on the hills:
The clouds of gray engulf the day
And overwhelm the town, :
lt isn’t raining rain to me,
It’s raining roses down, e
It isn’t raining rain to me, -
But fields of clover Dloom,
Wher y bdceanecering bee
May | bed and room;
A health unio the happy!
A fig for him who frets'
It ign’t raining rain to me,
It's raining violets.

A CHARACTER OF C. H. S.
By Marion Brown
Does he ever know has lessons’
Why I guess he does. In faet, I
know he does, on the- days when
there’s no one to frolic with in the
study hall.
He loves to get his Laiin up like
poison, but he passes on it rather
well. %
Is hesever without a smile on his
face? N@gt that I know of. Does he
cver fuss? S{n-e‘, but it doesn‘t last
long. J' Dlt g i
He isgviliing to take a chance, al
ways off the front seat il there’s
any funggoing on.
Does ghe ever worry his teacher?
Why offcourset He does every day
he cees her. Almost every one of
them is tantalized by him, but doec
he care? Don’t they pet him any
how? He gels away with anything he
pleases and almcst never has any
study hall time while I can’t smile
across the aisle without thirty min
utes to my credit.
The teachers say he’s cute, so he
must be. |
He’s always on the go, laughing;
as usual, i
Is hc}i}azy? No! He works on Sat
urday é'nd has a good time at it. l
He géts his lessons, but never
seems t@ study. |
He I%’, friendly, witty and humor-l
ous. &
Do we all like him?
Well :I'll zay we do! |
THE '‘COFFEE HOUSE OF THE l
EIGHTEENTH CENTURY
. By Sadie Cohen l
A Coffec House is a house or
build.ipg_ in which man met in I.hei
cigb%\_;flth century in order to sce!
fihe *gentleinen, to hear the latest
newsg, to listen to witly convcrsu-l
tions and to meet his friends and’
receive his mail. A man of this pe--[
riad writes, “We rise by nine and
thote that frequent great mcnsl
levee find entertainmeni at them till!
cleven or as in Holland, go to the
tea tables. About twelve the “beau-!
monde” (fashionable world) as—|
sembles in coifee or chocolate’
houses. Besides these people there"
were mgny of the great and risinr;.
middle @ass who were able to grati-/
{fy a gfeowing inierest in/ news and’
conversftion, manufacturers;’ mer-,
chants, ;fihippers were increasihg‘.
their wealth day by day. One of thel
chief reasons for the popularity of|
the coffee houses ‘was the desire ofj
the migale class men of leosure to‘
cducate themselves in the urdanity
and cultre that had once been prop
er only for the aristocrats. These
meeting places were so important
during the eighteenth century that
two thousand flourished in the dif--
ferent raris of London, Some ap
pealed to wits and poets; others to
lawyers and clergymen, still others
to merchants or military mcn.!
These mecting places were the places
in which they sipped their cofl'::c‘
and “discussed every topie underl
the sun.” Here the people came to;
notice each others manners and ways
of thinking. They became urbane in
conversation, at the same time they
ddi not lose their middle class con
victions. They disapproved of the
frivoloties and dissipations of the
fashionable circles. They also applied
standards of sound sense and morali
ty to the gay life of the town. Thus
the coffee houses enriched the inter
est of the Londoners and developed
a public opinion about the affairs of
daily life.
MISTAKES IN MY HIGH SCHCOL
CAREER
By Louise McA:thur
I think no other high schoo! pupil
ever made as many mistakes during
their four years of high school lile
as I. My pal and I liked to experi
ment. We had the whole high school
La Petite Dispatch
EDITED BY THE JOURNALISTIC CLUB OF THE CORDELE HIGH SCHOOL
and campus for our lab, |
One day in our Freshman year,!
we tried our firsl experiment. Ob--
jeet: to throw at and hit our civies
teacher who was sitting on the front:
steps. Material: dried beans und]
rocks. Procedure: Part A, We col--
lected a few beans and rocks in our
tight hands and threw them. Part B.
The rocks hit him, Result: Forty
fivo minutes in study hall and a lce
ture.
In Iwy Sophomore year I tried a
new experiment. Object: to stick a
pencil in a fat boys back to sce if he
would jump. Recult: Ile did anl I
did,
One morning in my Junior year 1
came to school with my hand all
bandaged up, pretending it was hurt
to keep from standing a test. Result:
The prineipal caught me writing a
note and I bad to stand the tgst when
I hadn’t studied.
In my Scnior year I experimented
carrying flowers to my teacher ey
ery morning to see if she would raise
my mark-—she didn’t, !
Children, such mistakes arc harm
ful, so do not make them.
A PEEP INTO THE FUTURE
By Ella Wehlitz
My dearest Betty Lou:
There is a new magazine being
publiched now. I read t{he initial
copy teday and it certainly did in
terest me. Do you remember about
fifteen, years ago at Cordele High
gchool they had a Journalistic Club?
If I remember correctly, the mem
bers were editors of a paper called
“La Petite Dispatch.” This new
magazine is edited by this very same
greup and they ecall it “La Grande
Dispateh.” You will ‘enjoy reading
it!
The editor in chief is Miss Frances
Gower. She has been “teaching jour
nalism at Columbia. I think it is, and
is trying to show her pupils that she
really does know what she is talk
ing about. Her able assistant is Mr.
Hoyt Hulsey. You remember about
five years ago he made that thrilling
trip into .the wilds of Mexico and!
wrote a story about it, |
The first story is by the author oi"
“The Stolen Jewel,s” Annie. Mfl_g,‘!
Brooks. She is one of our poplar an
thors today and her steries alonc!
would make any magazine a suceess, |
There are several feature articles by*
people you will remember, “lec'
Follies,” a clever comment on the
various vaudeville is written by Nr.l
James Wiard, “Main Street Sights” is'
written by Miss Sadie Cohen. This is!
somewhat like the articles Swan used!
to wrile, “Seing New York.”
A page of cartoons is drawn by
. Safford Harris. There are usual-
Iy satires on other magazines. She
uced to be on the art staff of the[
“American” The Fashions” are edit-|
ed by B. R. Dilgce and sketehes :-u'ei
by M. Scott. Miss Katherine Vinso::‘
writes hints on beauty and conducis
a question box for readers.
O, ves and I forgot to tell you,
about two other writers. Miss Mar)‘i
Clements and Mr. Joe Cannon have|
~collaborated on a = scientific article,
