SENIOR CLASS
ELECTS OFFICERS
FOR NEWSPAPER STAFF
(By Ethel McLeroy)
The Senior Class met last week
for the purpose of electing new
officers for the newspaper staff.
The following were officially elect
ed to serve during the ensuing
six*weeks:
Evie Epps, editor-iiychief.
Wilbur Wilson, business man
ager.
Myrla Bowden, general school
news.
Woods Ison, sport editor,
It was agreed upon at the be
ginning of the year, in order to
give every pupil, capable of doing
the work, an opportunity to serve
on the staff, and that the officers
were to be elected for a term of
six weeks. These officers are
eligible for a position on the staff
for more than one term, if their
work proves satisfactory.
CO-OPERATION THE
GREATEST NEED
OF THE SCHOOL
(By Evie Epps.)
Just what does the word, Co
operation mean?
In the dictionary it is defined
as a “working together. M
As far back as we can remem
her the word Co-operation has
never been unknown.
To have a good communi the
citizens of that community must
work together for the good of the
community as a whole. To have
a good school there must, without
doubt, be co-operation from every
pupil individually in that school.
Every student has a part in the
making of his school, and it is
left to him what kind of attitude
he is going to maintain toward
it.
To have successful activities in
the school there must be co-oper
ation from the faculty and the
whole student body. We are al
ways assured of the co-operation
of the faculty, bub it depends on
the pupils themselves what stand
they are going to take for their
school.
To keep our societies going and
to create a spirit of rivalry be
tween them, every pupil must
lend his aid individually to ac
compliah this. To have successful
football and basketball teams the
" -y —
SCHOOL \
N S
whole student body must be be
hind these teams, co-operating
with them in everything they un
dertake to do.
To maintain a Student Body
Association, which will enable our
school to have a higher standard
and which will give the pupils a
chance in handling directly the
government of the school, every
one must do their utmost towards
helping this association run
smoothly and to carry on its
work. ,
In short, if every student will
co-operate in trying to do the
things mentioned here, there will
be a better display of the REAL
school spirit, and we will have
succeeded in making our school a
standard institution.
PI R. SQUARE CLUB
ENJOYS OUTING
(By General News Editor)
The Pi R. Square Club, com
posed of Senior girls, with Miss
Paulk as chaperone, enjoyed a
hike early Saturday morning.
It was a beautiful day and the
members of the club were in high
spirits, so after- walking about
two miles out into the open, an
ideal spot was found to cook
breakfast. Soon the smell of ba
con and coffee could be detected
in the cool morning air.
After a delightful breakfast
and a period of exploring, the
“Pi R. Squares” hiked to their
respective homes.
FROM THE SUPERINTENDENT
TO THE CHILDREN OF
THE GRIFFIN SCHOOLS
A little while ago I wrote you
a short letter in which I asked
your help in “making the Griffin
Schools the best schools in Geor
gia.” I know you want to do it
and will CO-OPERATE.
The chief thing we are in
school for is to learn to be use
ful and no one is useful who can
not work with others, agreeably,
doing his part, and doing nothing
to hinder his fellows in doing
their part.
In order to study well, one must
have quiet and orderly surround
ings. The best place to study is
in a room in which there are oth
ers busily engaged in doing the
same thing. There should be no
squeaking desks, * no shuffling
feet, no rustling papers, no talk
ing either by teacher or pupils.
Everyone should be seated com
fortably and should have one
book before him. No one can
study two things at once. You
should not leave a lesson which
you have begun until you have
finished it. One should make fre
quent use of the dictionary, but
most words may be found in a
small edition #hich every student
should own and hare in his place
of study. Passing to the library
to look up a word or a few words
is wasteful of your time and dis
tracts from the quiet of the study
haH. There is a great advantage
in studying in a room with oth
ers who are studying, hut it is
very hard to learn when others
are constantly interrupting or do
< ing • things to distract
your atten
tion.
If you are studying at home,
you should have a comfortable
room, alone or with your brothers
and sisters who are studying, too.
You can study better if you will
form the habit of studying at the
same time and in the same place
every day. Prepare certain lessons
each day in study hall and cer
tain others each day at the same
hour at home.
Let everyone of us do his part
to provide suitable conditions for
his own study at home and help
keep the class room and study
hall quiet and orderly.
One more point I’ll leave with
you — and you may tell your
teacher this—the room which is
neatest and cleanest with the
least paper on the floor, except
after an art lesson, is likely to
be the room In which the best
work is done.
Sincerely yours,
L. M. LESTER.
Griffin, Ga., November 15, 1924.

A Thanksgiving party was de
cided upon. The following com
mittee was apointed: Mildred
Power, Louis Murphy, Zollie Ison,
Evelyn Nutt, Wellborn Persons,
and Nadine Pursley^ with Well
born Persons as chairman. Plans
were made to have the party Fri
day evening, preceding Thanks
giving, at 8 o’clock in the the
High school building.
A interesting feature in the
Sophomore Class was the deliv
ery of report cards for the first
six weeks. Some were good, some
were bad, some were glad and
some were sad. However, let’s
hope all will be glad at the close
of the next six weeks.
R. O. T. C.
(By James Knox, Editor)
During the past week there has
been much complaint among some
of the members of the R. 0. T.
C. about having to drill. The cap
tains are getting down to busi
ness now and it is not as easy as
it has been but still it’s a great
life if you just don’t weaken.
Company A, Company B, and
Company C all have put up some
snappy drills during this week
while practicing for battalion
drill and Friday it was pulled off
up town in the form of a parade,
celebrating home-coming day for
the Griffin High school football
team, and it was very successful,
considering the time the battalion
has been drilling.
Belts were issued last week to
be worn with the coats. There are
several more things to be issued
before the year is over, all of
which makes it seem more like
army life, the only difference be
ing that there is no pay-roll com
ing in every month to cheer up
the old bank account. Lieutenant
Adjutant Amos has been in
charge of the battalion for most
’of the time this week and when he
learns to call the battalion to” at
tention and Jaraes Berry and
John Powell, buglers for the bat
talion, learn to blow “Sound off”
right, the battalion will be going
smoothly and on the road to a
greater knowledge of militarism.
PERSONALS

GIRLS’ BASKETBALL v
(By Francis White)
Miss Jessie Pearl Rice, who is
again to coach the girls' basket
ball team, called a meeting of all
the girls expecting to practice
this year, and about 60 girls re
sponded and met in chapel after
school Monday.
In talking to the girls, Miss
Rice said that after such an un
usually good team last year we
couldn’t afford to let down the
school’s name, and must work
hard to turn out as good a team,
if not better, this year.
It has been decided to have a
team from each home-room and
have games between the different
rooms.
Katherine Rogers was appoint
ed manager of the girls’ team to
assist Bill Tyus, who is manager
of the boys’ team, in the securing
of games for the season.
Real practice will not begin be
fore next week, and it will be
some time then before the team
is selected. a
SCHOOL DAYS
(By Merla Bowden)
When our youth is over,
And we are old and gray;
We’ll recall with happy tho’ts,
Memories of our yesterday.
Memories always bring back joy,
Of our thoughts and ways;
And among them there will be—
The dear school days.
In our midst are many
Who hate to go to school,
They’re opposed to books and
studies,
And strict school rules.
But there’s a lot in life,*
That we don’t like to do,
So what’s a few hard studies,
For me and you?
School days are the happiest,
As you have heard before,
But they’re what we make them,
Yes, and nothing more.
So let’s love our school,
And do our very best,
So that all our memories,
Will be of happiness.
