Acts Are
For District Play
By ROBERT LINDSEY
Last Friday in chapel the stu
dent body saw the first of two
talent shows that are being pre-
* seated by the student council
in order to select the better to
appear in the district talent
show on March 4.
* The acts in last Friday’s tal
ent show were: Maureen Neal
singing “Scarbourgh Fair”, Ma
rian Bolton singing “My Favor-
, ite Things’’, Susan Pitts and Em
i'y Pyron dancing synchronized
choreography, Don Braddock
and Fran Doolittle in a comedy
* WASHINGTON (UPD—Sens.
Jacob K. Javits and Charles E.
Goodell, both R-N.Y., have
introduced a bill to authorize an
* additional S2O million to control
rats in slums.
Javits said rats cause $1
billion in damage each year.
Goodell said it was essential to
continue the rat program “so
that we can start to catch up in
cur lagging efforts to bring a
halt to the pestilence of rats in
* our slums.”
PRESCRIPTION
PERFECTION
When your doctor prescribes special shoes or shoe
adjustments for your child, your first concern is that
the prescription be followed to the letter. In addition
it is important that such shoes give maximum com
fort, are soft and pliable and are properly fitted.
Few shoe stores are equipped (by training or inven
tory) to fill a doctor’s prescription as it should be
filled. We are. We carry a complete line of
Pedic shoes, designed by specialists who know little
feet. So bring your youngsters’ shoe prescriptions to
us . . . where there is an
(diuards Pedic shoe to meet
every prescription need .. . IJ,
and expert fitters to guarantee
the proper size every time.

Read Faster For Better Comprehension --3
Load Up With New Words
By THE READING
LABORATORY, INC.
You can master all the techni
ques for faster and better read
ing, but without a decent voca
bulary you’re in trouble.
The language you use in ev
eryday conversation with your
friends is probably adequate.
But do you feel like a wallflow
er in conversation with older
people because your active voca
bulary is limited or inaccurate?
The best way to enlarge and
improve it is to improve your
passive (reading) vocabulary.
There are four simple steps.
LEARN FROM CONTEXT.
Try this sentence for vocabu
lary size. "No matter where I
go my little sister turns up, lead
ing me to conclude that she sha
res übiquity with the Deity.” If
we wrote "übiquity” all by itself,
you might have trouble. Look
at it in its context, and see how
it is used. There’s only one me
aning that word can have there
—being everywhere at the same
time. Don’t go to the dictionary
until you’ve made an educated
guess. Then, by all means, do
go to the dictionary, and rem
ember that old saying: “Use a
word 3 times, and it’s yours.”
LEARN FROM LISTEN
ING. Maybe it was the same
wise man who said, “Knowl
edge enters through a closed
mouth," and, "Choose at least
one friend who is smarter than
you.” When people you know
use words you’ve never heard
or are unsure of, wait for the
proper moment, then ask them
the exact meaning. They’ll be
flattered; you’ll be Informed.
LEARN FROM WHAT YOU
ALREADY KNOW. In grade sc
hool they taught you prefixes
and suffixes. Make full use of
Hamlett, Betty June Langston,
Floyd Newton, Steve Roberts,
Debbie Sims, and Kathy What
ley.
Eighth grade students who
made all A’s and B’s are Vicky
Allen, Patti Bass, Mark Beck

adford, Rosemary Brown, Tho

Fairmont High
'(if) Yearbook
By WANDA HEAD
And DEBORAH HOLMES
The Fairmont High School
yearbook staff completed the
"69” election Tuesday. The book
was mailed to the publishing
company; it is expected to be
ready the latter part of April.
Staff members have worked
faithfully trying to make their
book the "best”. They have sou
ght to compile memories that
will live forever. The name of
the past books “The Fairmon
tonian” was changed to the
Bear-Lite, bearing the same
name as the newspaper.
The theme is “What Is Fair
mont?” The opening session will
include non-posed color snap
shots. The book will cover all
interesting news around Fair
mont.
The staff this year consists of
21 members. They are: Editor,
Wanda Head; Associate Editor,
Eyvonne Touchstone; Business
Manager, Willie Maude West;
Typists, Johnnie Ferguson and
Annie Lowe; Layout artists,
Carletha Johnson, Hazel Chap
man and Imogene Willis; Photo

Katoria Heggie, Geraldine Eth

mended for their excellent gui
dance and aide in preparing the
book.

cate. If you forget what these
prefixes mean, try to derive
their meaning from your know
ledge of the entire word. Then,
when you encounter a strange
word with one of these prefix
es or a suffix, you have additio
nal knowledge to bring to the
context.
LEARN FROM THE DIC
TIONARY. Here’s how to use
the dictionary:
1. Get the EXACT meaning.
2. Look for examples of how
the word has been used.
3. Look for different shades of

leave the page till you check out

elation of two poems by Robert
Frost. Will you preread it, write
down searching questions, skip
and skim your way through It?
Certainly not. Frost wrote to be
enjoyed; he wrote to delight you,
to stir your emotions, not to
give you facts.
But now your English litera
ture assignment is finished and
you can curl up with that myst
ery novel your friend loaned
you. Your purpose in reading is
altogether different; you’re not
looking for self-enrichment, you
just want to relax. Just the clu
es and the story are all you
want, and you’re eager to see
how the book ends. Speed mak
es sense, but don’t skip and
skim to the extent that you miss
all the clues and spoil the fun.
After breakfast tomorrow you
pick up the paper. Usually all
you want is information. What
has happened around the world,
in your home town, at last ni
ght’s sporting event? This you
can do in about 15 minutes be
cause your purpose calls for top
speed. You want instant infor
mation Instantly.
But when you read the news
paper thoroughly, your purpose
is different in many ways. You
will read for Information AND
to evaluate. You’ll read critical,
opinionative writing alertly;
you’ll be on the lookout for poor
reasoning, for invalid premises
when you read political com
ment. You will analyze, bring
ing your whole reading backgr
ound to judge the content.
You will get a lot more out of
each development because you
want more, and it will take you
more time.
These are me four reasons for
reading:
1. For information —and here
you read at top speed, making
use of all the steps.
2. For relaxation — and here
you read fast but not so fast as
for information.
3. For self-enrichment —and
here you read more slowly, be
cause you don’t want to miss any
points of beauty.
4. For critical evaluation—and
here you are not a passive ob
server. but an alert and ques
tioning judge and jury. This is
your slowest pace, but it should
not be a slow pace after putting
these chapters into practice.
