The Butterfly’s
Trail
By Albert Mary Thweatt
Thought For the Week:
"We make much use of the phrase “getting a kick” out cf life.
Those who use a gun know that a “kick” is the rebound that comes
from the release ot pent up energy. “A kick” out of life comes as a
similiar process. The child jumps up and down ami laughs. The student
bends to a problem and finds joy in it. The loving heart pours itself
out joyfully. No man is happy for long in merely receiving things.
It is nature’s protest that he is not the center. Happy people are
those who put the center of life outside themselves. In spending, not
in getting, in realizing their noblest hidden energies, they find life’s
greatest and most enduring happiness.”
Shut Ins.
Mr. Oscar W. Greene of Thunderbolt is recuperating at home

sity Social Work School graduate for her appointment as caseworker

Congratulations also to the members of the 12--. and 12-B clas¬
ses of Beach-Cuyler for their Home, Family Parley on last Tuesday
night. These boys anil girls are making an effort to solve some of
the problems of the classes in home and family living. A large num¬
ber of parents and friends were present and an interesting panel
discussion was held. With the cooperation of some of the instiuctors
of Georgia State College, the group set up a number of problems to
serve as teaching experiences during the year. Mrs. Mary Wright,
Librarian for Beach-Cuyler, gave a resume of three of the newer
books being used at the school in connection with the course. The
books included New Patterns in Sex Teaching by Dr. Francis Bruce
Strain (winner cf th i Annual Parent’s Magazine Medal Award),

cation by -Dr. Edith Hale Swift and the Normal Sex Interests of

Strain . . . Mrs. 11. W. Turner, consultant for homemaking education
spoke and presented Miss Virginia Ware home-making teacher at !
Savannah High and Mr. Brainerd Iiodgc, consultant for secondary
education for the public school system who made contributions to
the group.
Delicious punch and cookies prepared by the class were enjoyed
by all along with black and orange candy. Hallowe’en decorations
were used.
Mrs. Dorothy Lampkin assisted toy Mrs. Jaime Blake are to be
greatly commended for their interest and contributions. Miss Henri¬
etta White of the 12-A Class was general chairman and Miss Alma
Ford of the 12-B Class acted as secretary.
A grand step forward. We will be looking forward to more
panel discussions of that nature.
Vocational School
It is very interesting to observe the many adults who are taking
advantage cf the courses taught in the Vocational School at Beach-
Cuyler. Inspite of a full program of school work and other activities,
I decided to take advantage of some of the courses offered. It’s a
pleasant diversion from my daily work ... so Tuesdays and Thurs¬
days find both my hubby and me driving over for courses in. slip cov¬
er making, draperies, upholstering, and interior decorating . . . and
we enjoy it . . . with a very interesting and well prepared teacher
(Mrs. Erma Williams) and a most congenial group as members of
tiie class. Members of this particular class include Mesdames Etia
Brown, Marie B. Dixon, Sarah Adkins, Marie Brown, Mayme Bacon,
Susie B. Brown, Maybell Mackey, Janie Jones, Leila McKinnon, Mil¬
dred Beard, Albertha Burke, Corrie-M. Sibert, Ida Scott, Francis
Robinson, Louise Battle and Mrs. Mildred Hutchins . . . Mrs. Wil¬
liams is indeed an expert in her line of work. Haven’t had chance to
get a line on some of the folks in other classes . . .but will be find¬
ing out soon . . . Mesdames Ida Scott and Mildred Hutchins hope
to complete the course this year. Representatives from the State
Department of Education took pictures of the groups in action on last
Tuesday night.
