CLEAR LOGIC IN
OUR REASONING
TESTS FOR THE FACULTY
. By Genevieve McKee
The other day while “fooling”
arcund in the lab we made a queer
kind of gas. So wé decided to take
it to Mr. Culbertson to ask about it.
fi and Miss .Bettie Lou McKenzie
“were discussing the Scnior’s behavior
rather heatedly but the moment they
got a whiff of this strange gas the
most extraordinary change came
over them. They grabbed up some
books and started talking about
what hard lessons they had. Miss
Bettie Lou declared, “I am positively
not going to write my ther?le for I
don’t knolw one thing about it. Mr.
Culbertson said, “whoever thinks I
can work all those physic problems is
clear goofey.” -~
When we saw the astounding ef
fect the gas had on these two we de
cided to try it on the rest. To our un
bounded delight they too ' thought
they were pupils about to begin a
hard day’s ‘work in C. H. S. They |
congregated in the hall and excited
ly asked questions about the on-f
coming tests. They were very flus
trated and when M. Reyston asked
Miss Crum what two numbers added
top;ethex‘l made one. She replied, “I
think it was Paul Revere when .he
rode the Declaration of Independ
ence to Banburg Cross.” =
"We then rang the ball and they
noisily filed into 4-1. When the roll
was called each answered, “Here in
body, but not in mind. We heartily
agreed. :
Then we put the tests on the
board which they had made us
stand the week before. Immediately|
‘there arose howls of protest .and
pleas of mercy. “We haven’t had
that” “You .didn’t tell us to study
that.” “We couldn’t work that one.”
We steinly shook our heads and
told them to hush and go to Work.'
They mournfully got out pen andi
paper and started to write. “I don’t
know one part of speech from- anoth- }
. );'bfit I can give part of Cicero
*ie‘rom memory. Will that do just asj
well asked Miss Holmes. We told her 1
no and not to ask any more ques-:
tions or she would get zero, Then
Miss Parker started crying and said, ‘
“I just can’t tell how to make a;
dress. Why I never sewed a straight
seam in my life.” i
‘At this moment Miss Ruth McKen- i
zie stuck a pin in Miss Christiani
and a lively contest of pulling hair, 1
slapping faces, ensued. |
When we finally stopped them we }
were very shocked to find that thei
rest of the room had been cheating!
We sternly told them to hand in
their papers at once. At this moment
Mr. Standard and Miss Rose walked
in, Mr. Standard rubbing sleepily his
eyes and Miss Rose so cross she!
*wouldn’t speak. ¢ |
“Dan Standard are you and Lydia
Rose late again?” we yélled, “Take
two hours apiece and everybody else
-go with th_éni for cheating.” ‘
With their howls of grief I felt!
someone shaking me and the sun
shining in my face—only anotherj
nightmare after a strenuous test
week. ‘
THE FABLE OF THE FROGS
By Maxine Land
Two little green frogs, Ikey and
Mokey, taking their morning’ hop
were busily engaged in talking about
the grasshoppers they expected to
catchifor breakfast. Said Ikey to
Mikey, “The best place to find our
breakfast is ‘down by old man John
son’s dairy—down by that nice little
stream of water.” Said Mikey: “Good
we’ll hasten on beforve the sun gets
too hot.’ ’So away they hopped with
a skip and a jump gaily talking as
'Q.Aey went. Upon reaching the
dairy, they at once Legan their
morning search and soon had en
joyed a very good breakfast.
Ikey,.,very spry, after so good a
breakfast decided to race about a bit
to see what there was to be seen

brown something which puzzled him
and turning to Mikey said: “Mikey,
come here and see what I see.
So up jumped Mikey and hasten~
ed to Ikey’s side..
[\ After a brief coxwérsa;"tion, they
’determined to see what this big
! brown jar contained. So up they hop
i ped to its rim and looking over saw
! that the churn contained a quantity
|of _nice rich milk that old farmer
-Johnson had set aside to churny Ikey,
the more daring of the two, not con
tent with seeing the contents of the
jar decided to dance around. ¥ts rim
a bit for exercise. When all of a sud
’ den—he lost his balance and -be
gan to fall into the churn! | qurf
} Mikey, seeing the calamity rushed to ‘
l his side only to be pulled in by thei
/frichtened little Tkey. Splash!l
Splash! and the poor little green
froggies were desperately trying to
reach safety. The sides of the churn,
'howeVer, were too steep, and poor
| little froggies, they could not makq!
i the grade! ' ’
: Finally, in despair, Ikey said to
Mikey, “I’m about to give out. I
can’t last much longer! Whereupon
after a few more feeble séruggles
he drew up his legs and heavily sank
‘~ to the bottom. i ‘
Mikey, whose determination and |
« ambition were made of “sterner !
stuff”’” kept saying to himself, as he |
« kicked vigorously. “I ecan—l think II
can—l think I can—l think I can”,’
And all of a sudden he began to feel
something buoying him up. And after z
a few more rapid kicks, to his utter
amazement and surprise, he found
| himself sitting on-a pound of but
ter, near the top of the churn. Look
ing around with frightened and sur
prised countenance he glibly hopped
to the top of the churn and out into
i the great world again.

WHY NOT A PARENT-TEACHER’S ‘
ASSOCIATION IN CORDELE? }
By Adelaide McKee
The Parent-Teachers Association,!
which was first organized in the year‘
of 1915, was the outgrowth of two
outstanding factors which appeared
in the life of the schools and homes.
The first factor was the recent in
clusion in the public school curricu
lum of such practical subjects as do
mestic science, health, manual train
ing, agriculture ete., which extend
over into the homelife of a child and
demand parental co-operation if the
instruction is to be the most effec
tivel. The second was vast increase
of foreign homes in America and the
fact that lack of adjustment is often
a tragic handicap to the children at
school.
Today in remote country districts,
in small town and in large cities the
members meet to talk over such local
problems that vitally involves both
home and school interests. The work
of the Association is not concerned
‘ with class room matters, but with
those personal and community prob
lems which are becoming absorbed
| more and more into our public school
s fa
If health education, for instance,
, is to mean anything, a teacher of hy
giene needs the active support of
l parents in encouraging the pupils to
obscre s‘lmple rules of healthful liv
-ng. Cooking and sewing classes ob
iously benefit by a close relation to
such work in the homes of the pupils.
Lunch roofs and saving banks too
require the attention' of both par
ents and teachers.
In these overlapping. realms of
home and school, parents and teach- ‘
ers have joined hands in some very ‘
specific achievements and have also|
stimulated thaose mutual sympathies
and ideals by which alleducation
! benefits. Better buildings and equip
!lment have been secure. Hot lunches
i have been instituted in isolated |
' school houses on the Dakota prairies
and New York immigrant children
have been weaned from a diet of
sausage and dill voickles. Various
' forms of entertainment have-helped
I to keep young peciie from undesira
ble association: =nd have cncouraged
,'the spirit of youth amona parents.
Parent-Teachers Associations are
the beginring of community interest, i
the fircy step toward cific better
ment vorulling in - improved condi
ltio:x;. This orzanization provides a
notural and friendly means of
! Americanization in the better sense
| of that much-abused term. And its
'accomplishments indicate that such
tparent—teacher co-operation is prac
. tical, valuable and democratic.
I The needs in Cordele are the same
2s in other towns which have such an
organization.. Atlafita, Macon and
Columbus have wide awake ones, and
too, there are hundreds of towns,
’ much smaller than Cordele that have
}live ones. Our Bwn University of
Georgia recognizes our needs and of- !
fers courses in the summer school
for the organization and administra
tion of these. If the rest of the state
and nation find a parent-teacher as
sociation a necessity as well as a
help why not organize one in Cor- |
ele? 5

As the bell rang, my eyes caught
sight of a small, healthy youngster,
heavy ladened wih freckles and red
hair and giving an impression to all
that sorrows had vanished and mis
chief was penetrating his thoughts.
It seems that most of the boys take
great delight in picking on him, but
Red turns it into a joke. His happy
disposition, blue eyes, and red hair
gives to all a good idea of a 100
percent Freshman. : :
The door opened and in walked a
rather low, slender personages with
sand colored bobbed hair that was
waved. She had light complexion and
blue eyes. She had an attractive
smile which revealed two rows of
pretty white sparkling teeth.
Turning, she said to us:
“All right, girls, no foolishness to
day.”
Here she comes,
There she goes,
What she’s up to,
Nobody knows.

Do you know her?
There is a girl in C, H. S. that is
very attractive to all. She is a typi

arranges her hair which is black with
#oig waves that are set naturally. She
is very-slim and neat looking in her

‘ble The last whistle blew and Cor
delc had won the game! A tall lanky
man ran out on the court shouting
and jumping and hugging every
boy on the téam. “Oh boy!’ he
shoted, “I knew we could win.”
His blue eyes sparkled with joy
and his straight dark hair was tous
led and his dark face was one big
grin.
“Come on, boys; fifteen rahs for
the losers.” v é !
I was walking down the hall yes
terday when I saw at the far end of
the hall something coming toward me
which resembled a bean pole.
Drawing near I found it to be a boy
who would put a bean pole in the
shade. He has dark hair and parts
it in the middle. His eyes are small
and brown. He had just drunk an or
ange crush and looked like a ther
mometer. His ears went back to
make roo’n for a broad smile which
played ficross his face.
Yes he's small and fat and round
—ie’s jolly too—even if he does
have to lsok stern. His hair is dark
" brown and curly. His eyes are black
- —Yes they are and they have the
“habit of of twinkling if he knows
vou are afraid of him. His nose is

which are even and white, make his
smile very attractive. He is often
seen in the corridors of C. H. §.
with a bell and rule book.
