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. vice president, Zollie Ison, presid ed. 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 (By Henrietta Brewer) Lawson Johnson, a former Grif fin Hi sudent, now attending the Georgia School of Technology, was elected last week as one of four of the most popular boys at Tech. George Carson, Ernest Carlisle, Frank Pittman and Charles Phil lips were among those ""attending the Georgia-Auburn game in Co lumbus today. Practice has been started for basketball and it is believed that a good team can be made up of those interested. The first glee club of the seas on was held in ttie High school building last evening. 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. BREAKFAST SERVED BY SOPHOMORES (By Louise Redd) Section four of the Sophomore cooking class prepared and served a delightful breakfast Tuesday morning in the dining room of the High school. This was an in teresting way of summarizing the first semester’s work, planned by the teacher, Miss Burnett. During the first six weeks of school the pupils of this class studied all foods suitable for a breakfast. Table service and dining room courtesy were also stressed. In the dining room the color scheme of yellow and white was carried out effectively. Vases of yellow and white chrysanthe mums were attractively arranged about the room. The center-piece of the table was a lovely crystal basket of yellow and white chrys anthemums. Small white place cards on which sprays of dainty yellow flowers were painted, were used. Friar Thompson, a former Grif fin Hi student, who is now at tending the University of Geor gia, spent this week-end in Grif fin with his parents on College street The R. O. T. C. invites e •y one to come out and see their drill at any time. Bill Scott was among those spending this week-end in Griffin. Ethelyn Ison Was among those going to Atlanta this week. J. H. West was among the alumnus of Georgia from Griffin going to the Georgia-Auburn game in Columbus today. A.
