CLEAR LOGIC IN
OUR REASONING
THE FLORIDA" HURRICANE
q By Marion Brown
" The great campaign for those in
Florida who are storm victims has
been one of the marvelous revela
tions of the heart of humanity. The
whole ‘country has responded to the
call and even people in other coun:
tries have tried to lend aid to the
sufferers. It has been a wonderful
example of human response in an
hour of need. j
'Bnly one thing has marred the
moven{ent, or appeared to . have
marred it. That is what is charged
as the desire on the part of some
real estate operators and officials to
lessen the real damage done, They
wish people to think that it's not
quite as bad as it seems.
The Florida hurricane is said, by
people who have seen for themselve's?
to be the worst catastrophe in this
country since the San Francisco
carthquake. Fort Lauderdale, Miami
and other smaller communities suf
fered great property loss as well as
four to five hundred deaths and two |
thousand injured. It has been said

their homes and saw every trace of
the roof blown away and every
piece of glass in the sash and doors
blown in and even their household
belongings taken through doors and
windows and carried away by the
terrific wind.
' Many people were victims of the
flood waters of Lake Okeechobee,
when its dykes were broken in the
storm. Many were carried away in
theit: homes as the waters bore down
upon them,
In the poorly built houses in al
most every case, . damage was
done. Many people were killed or
injured in the homes that would
not stand the strong winds, Indeed,
all the loss of lives occurred in
homes of this sort and in the lake
rggions where the waters came
through the dykes. Many former
Georgians were victims but those
who went from Cordele and imme
diate sections came through the
storm without a death or serious in
jury. Several persons who went
from Crisp county to the storm area
lost all their possessions :anq' several
of these came back to their formen
hothes with not even'd Hat to wear.’
The spirit of the people in Florida
in making their plans to rebuild fg
wonderful, They are out rebuilding
and replacing the damages done to
their homes and business houses;
.clearing up their sanitary systerfié,
water supplies and rebuilding the
power plants. ‘
They still tell the outside world
that they stay greatly in need of
help and altho the response seems to
be liberal everywhere, it will take
months to overcome even tempmri-l
Iytthe damages that have been done. |

THOUGHTS OF A FRESMAN ON
ENTERING HIGH SCHOOL
By Virginia Rose Marshall
In the words made famous by our
gallant Pershing we freshmen feel
like saying “Lafayette we are here!”
After all those years of study and
toil in the primary and grammer
grades we have at last reached the
goal which we kept in mind all along
the way.
We can look back now and re
member how when we were in the
lower grades, we used to look with
awe and wonderment -at .those be
ings so ‘wonderful to ‘.fi—thé Seniors
We felt that even the freshmen had
attained to the most desired heights
on- being able to really go to school
in the wonderful building. It always
"tilil‘_:’;:the appeagrance of ‘bei'hg the
-very seat of lgérning to us. But now
although wey still stand somewhat
in awe of our upperclassmen, we.
feel that ave are in a measure one
of them. ' |

~ And our new studies? The high
snchool books, Latin, algebra, and
‘ science, looked as though they held
“all the wisdom and understanding
of the ages within their covers.
Latin is called the dead language
but imagine Miss Ruth McKenzie
thinks that to uge it is “the unknown
tongue.”
And as for algebra—all we know
about that is that X eqals the un
known quantity; but with Mr, Stan~‘
dard’s and Miss McKenzie’s able
teaching and our own hard work,
we are determined that by the end
of this term we will be able to track
that “unknown quantity” to its lair.
As for Science like the young dough
bey when he joined the army in
the late war:
“We don’t know yet what it’s all
about,
But I guess by heck we’ll soon
find out.”
We have found that high school
is not all work and study but that |
it has many pleasures and sports
that the grammar grades lacked. We
take much deeper interest in foot
ball and the other sports, since we
are in closer touch with the players.
Summing it all up we “freshies”
are very much thrilled with our new
rank .in school life. We are going
to keep th& thrill with ug all throurh
the year, and do our best to make a
showing that will, at least, besat-.
