BETTY CANARY
fl
Target for Cruelty’s Barbs
By BETTY CANARY
A high school sophomore in a midwestern
city wrote, “Every year the same thing hap
pens. The teachers read aloud, right in front
of the classes, the names of those who had
not paid their book money or got their gym
suits. When I was in grade school they did
the same thing, only then you had to raise
your hand. My mother just gave me the
money today. 1 always want to crawl under
the seat and cry but I have learned to stare
ahead and pretend I didn’t know everybody
was looking at me.”
I never stop being amazed at cruelty to
children in its many and varied forms. And
this is barbarism in the classroom in one
of its less subtle forms.
It is a waste of time pointing out that
parents should know the first day of school
is coming. Some forget, some midsunder
stand (even though they have received 10
mimeographed sets of regulations) and some
simply won’t have the money until a certain
payday.
It i s pointless to mention teachers and
bookkeeping. (I'm on their side. Who needs
all that training in order to count milk money
and make change?)
Miss Linda Priest
Weds Mr. Riddle
Midway Methodist Church was
the scene Saturday, September
14, for the marriage of Miss
Linda Marie Priest to Mr. Wal
ter E. Riddle. The Rev. Ed Kel
ley performed the double ring
ceremony at 4 o’clock.
The bride is the daughter of
Mrs. W. D. Thaxton of Griffin
and Mr. G. R. Priest of Albany.
The groom is the son of the Rev.
and Mrs. R. E. Riddle of Jack
son.
The church was decorated with
a central arrangement of glads,
mums and stephanotis. Two se
ven branch candelabra entwined
with ivy were used. The altar
was banked with magnolia.
The candles were lighted by ,
Mark Riddle, brother of the ,
groom, and Billy Thaxton, bro- ,
ther of the bride.
Miss Darline Massengale, or
ganist, presented a program of ■
traditional wedding music. Miss •
Nadine Massengale, soloist, ,
sang “More” and “The Lord’s ,
Prayer”. The bride and groom ;
sang “One Hand, One Heart”. (
Mr. Tommy Copeland of Gris- i
fin served as best man. Ushers ’
were Mr. Jeff Turner and Mr. i
David Statham, both of Griffin. 1
Mrs. Deborah Mangham of Gr
iffin was her sister’s matron of 1
honor. She wore a floor length
petal pink embossed taffeta ’
gown styled with a fitted bodice 1
and scooped neckline. She car- <
ried a nosegay of pink, yellow ’
and lilac color mums. i
Bridesmaid was Mrs. Vickie 1
Peek of Griffin. Her dress and
flowers were identical to the
matron of honor's.

The bride was given in mar
riage by her step-father, Mr. Wil- 1
liam D. Thaxton. She wore a
floor length chantilly lace over '
peau de sole gown. The gown :
was styled with a sabrlna neck- :
line and long sleeves, which :
The important factor in this eternal fight
for fees is that the children are the ones
who pay—in embarrassment and humiliation.
Schools should skip the sadistic list routine.
Delinquent fees and payments can be quitely
handled by the school office.
Other crimes committed in the classroom
include the clothing exchanges set up in some
schools. The idea is fine —pass on wearable
lothing. But, I have often wondered why the
clothing is not taken to a different school
instead of being distributed at the point of
collection.
The poor untiring PTA workers would have
yet another chore—driving loads of clothing
to trade with other untiring PTA workers.
And, they would never see the results of their
labors, which, in this case, would be in the
form of what does NOT happen. One wonder
ful thing that would not happen would be hav
ing a fourth grade classmate point at you
and ask, “Isn’t that Mary Sullivan’s old
dress?”
Other atrocities include sarcastic asides
such as, “Os course, SOME of us do not sup
port our school teams.” This, as all the kids
in class know, means, “Linda is the only one
in this room who didn’t buy a season ticket
to the basketball games.”
The truly fine point of humiliation comes
in sharing experiences. The “What-I-Did-
This-Summer” essay is fine. I have read
somewhere kids who did nothing except play
in the yard all summer made their vacation
sound so interesting that classmates who
went on a month’s tour almost wept with
envy.
I have also known a teacher who held
“Florida Day.” If you had gone (half the
class had) you had an entire day to make
the rest of the class despise you. I always
expected her to hold an Income Comparison
Day and have everybody bring their fathers’
check stubs to share. I am happy to report
that this teacher is no longer with that same
school system and I do not know where she
is. Hopefully, she has been confined some
where.
