AN APPRECIATION
Through the courtesy of the Grif
fin Daily News the pupils of G; H.
S. arej- given the privilege of space
in its columns,., that we may keep
those people of Griffin who are in
terested in us informed concerning
the school activities.
As a representative of the student
body we wish to thank the News
for its generosity and interest.
BEN WARREN,, Personal Editor.
EDITORIAL
Why do the students of G. H. S.
want a weekly school page in the
Griffin Daily News? For the simple
reason that they think the informa
tion as to what they are accomplish
ing in their school work would be
aews of interest to Griffin residents.
They feel that this page will bring
them in closer touch with the com
munity at large so that they can
let the people know just what they
are doing; what they are accomp
fishing. __________________ __--------------- --------------
If the pupils know that other peo
ple are interested in what they are
doing, they will naturally feel more
pride in their school. They will take
more interest along every line of
school activity and will strive for
something bigger and better.
Along with the objects of the
school page may be mentioned a
number of benefits to be derived
from it. It helps to develop writ
ers in the school, for everyone, from
the lowest freshman to the highest
senior, is asked to write up any
news article concerning the school
J which they think will interest the
public. This practice helps anyone
who might later want a chance at
newspaper work. Then, again, this
weekly experience in journalism is
a great asset to the English course,
for it gives practice, of the best
kind, in themes.
This school page is controlled by
the Editorial Staff, whose intention
is to present to the community a
true picture of G. H. S. life in its
various aspects.
ETHEL McLEROY.
FROM THE SUPERINTENDENT
TO THE PUPILS OF’
THE GRIFFIN SCHOOLS
It is going to be fine to have a
page of our own in the Saturday
edition of the Griffin News.
Let’s co-operate with the manag
ing editor, Mr. Givens, and make
him glad that he offered us this op
portunity. If we make a success
of this school page, it is going to be
one of the best things we ever did
for the schools. Let’s read it and see
that our own school has some inter
esting news in it every week. The
schools that' do things worthwhile
won’t lack for news.
We are all good citizens of a good
city and county, I hope, and we are
interested in making our homes and
our home town and county attrac
tive. Nothing is so attractive as
cleanineas, whether we are speaking
of streets and homes or of persons
and character. —
Next week is “Clean-up week. t*
SATURDAY, OCTOBER 4, 1924. ■
that means us—is
to take time to clean up and
up his home and his yards,
help do the same thing at school
on his street. And what a fine
it will be if we all go even
and resolve to be clean thru
thru in thought, word and act
now on!
I hope to have time to write you
letter every week and talk to you
about things that will make our
better.
Sincerely yours,
L. M. LESTER.

HOME ROOM AND
ASSEMBLY
This year the school is
on the home room basis. All pupils
report to their horn# rooms in
morning where devotional
are conducted, announcements
attendance taken and short
grams conducive to home room
it and general school unity are
1
dered. The home room period
fifteen minutes.
In 'addition to the home room
riod there is a weekly assembly
• riod when all pupils assemble in
auditorium. This period is set
ghiefiy for worthwhile programs
the pupils.
Thomas Goddard: Well, I’ve
ed physics at last.
Wilbur Wilson: Honestly?
T. G.: What difference does
make?
A FEW POINTS FOR PARENTS
OF CHILDREN IN R. O. T. C.
The .allowance of uniforms for
each student of the ROTC for two
^ €ars as f°Hows:
1 belt, web; 1 belt,, pistol; 1 cap,
overseas; 1 coat, 1 cravat, 2 pairs
breeches, 1 leggings,. 1 set collar
ornaments, 1 set insignia for
sleeves, 2 shirts, f'.annel..
This clbthing remains the proper
ty of the United States, and. must
be turned, back to< the- school at the
close of the school year.. Should a
student quit school for any reason,
the uniform, issued, to' him must be
turned in to the school.
Any article of the uniform which
is missing, when the uniforms are
turned hack to the school, becomes
a charge against the school and the
school in turn wilj. expfet the pa
rents of the student to pay for the
articles which, are not returned.
Articles which, are worn, ^ut by
fair wear and tear, will he returned
and may be replaced if satisfactory
evidence that they were worn out
in service is furnished.
t
Parents are informed that ar
tides thus worn out should not be
thrown away, but turned back to
the school, so they may be put be
fore an inspector. All inspectors
are skeptical, and the mere state
ment that your son had a shirt .will
not satisfy him, he will insist on
seeing the shirt no matter how bad
ly worn, 'So do not put the' remains
of the shirt in the rag bag, but re
turn it to the school authorities fot
condemnation.
R. O. T. C. NOTES
This year has marked the begin
ning of an R. O. T. C. at G. H. S.
There are 144 enrolled. The first
two weeks of training were taken
up in preliminary drilling. The rifles
have not yet been issued to the boys
but will be the latter part of the
-
week. Most of the boys are anxious
to get their rifles and begin rifle
drill, but this is explained by the
fact that they have never handled
one before. They are working hard
this week trying to learn the differ
ence between ‘squads right’ and
‘squads right about.’
BEN WARREN, Personal Editor.
ATHENIAN SOCIETY

There are a good many Freshmen

It’s easy to get ahead of him, though. Just bring Mother to
this store and select a warm winter overcoat, a flannel frock or
two for Sister, and smart knicker suit for Brother. Then, with \
a
jaunty tam or woolly cap, and all leather shoes, you can turn and
laugh heartily at old Jack Frost. Tell Mother that apparel
bought here is sure to keep you snug and warm. '

FACET THREE
The other night
We attended a
Wooden wedding anniversary.
The menu consisted
Of plank steak
Potato chips
Club sandwiches
And cabinet pudding.
Wooden that jar you?
it What are you studying: now?”'
asked Mrs. Johnson.
(i We have taken up the study at
molecules," answered the son.
44 I hope you will be very attentive
and practice constantly,” said the
mother. “I tried to get your father
to wear one, but he could not keep
it in his eye.”
You can always tell a senior,
For he’s so sedately gowned;
You can always tell a junior,
By the way he struts around;
You can always tell a freshman;
Bjr his worried looks and such;
You can always tell a sophomore,
But you can’t tell him much.
WEST GRIFFIN SCHOOL
Our plans for “Clean-up Week”
are to clean up our school grounds
and yards at home. In this way
we hope to reach a good many
places. The children expect to bring
hoes and rakes to school and spend
their recesses getting rid of high
weeds and dead leaves,
The second and third grade chil
dren, are bringing scrap iron and
gla^s bottles to be sold to buy play
ground equipment, Pennies are
coming in also from these grades
to replenish the medicine box.
Fourth Grade.
Our grade is beginning to put our
grounds in orddr by pulling up
weeds.
We are going to try to make our
grade this year. None of us want
condition cards.
Watch, other fourth grades, or
else we will excell you.
We enjoy our work. We like our
new superintendent and are glad
when he comes to see us.
