DEAF BOYS AND GIRLS FOUND
MORE EFFICIENT EMPLOYES
I Atlanta, April 11—Although they
can neither speak nor hear, 21 boys
and girls from the Cave Springs
Bchool for the deaf have gone to
work in Atlanta's biggest depart
ment stores—initiating an experi
ment which Dr. M. D. Collins, state
school superintendent, said today
he believed was the first of the
kind in the nation.
These youths were trained by the
vocational rehabilitation division
of the state department of educa
tion in cooperation with the state
department of public welfare.
They are employed in the prin
cipally wrapping, packing and de
livery departments of Rich's and
Davison-Paxon and they are win
ning the enthusiastic commenda
tion of their superiors.
“We find that they learn their
jobs faster and' are more accurate
than many other ordinary em
ployes,” R. H. Gaines, personnel di

My First Date
During the eraly year's of my
adolescence, like many another
youngster, I was rather shy in all
matters, pertaining to any member
of of the opposite sex. Indeed, as I
later learned many of my ac
quaintances had grown to consider
me very bashful. Thus it is not
surprising that I went on my first
real date during leap year. It is no
doubt surprising, however, that the
young lady involved Betty Smith
was the sweetheart of my best
friend. The facts in the case is
this.
One Wednesday afternoon in the
early part of Aug. the young lady
in question invited me to escort
her to a leap-year party on the
following Friday evening. Having
inspired my secret admiration for
several years, I gladly accepted her
invitation. During the next 2 days
I lived apart from the world of
reality, In a land of heroic dreams.
Not the least concerned with the
affairs of daily life. By Thursday
night I began to appear to my
self more like a Casanova, I lived
in a visionary world of romantic
love. I read the balcony scene from
Romeo and Juliet to pass away the
time. I being Romeo; she being Ju
liet.
Precisely at the appointed hour
on that fateful Friday evening, a
big limousine stopped before my
house. I scrambled down the steps
and soon sat myself breathlessly
next to the lady of my dreams. He.'
father, looking slightly amused
over the situation, drove toward our
hostess home.
On the way he regaled us with
matters which he appeared to con
sider of some interest to us two
members of the younger generation
Nice weather we are havipg he re
marked at the end of the’ first
block. Sure is I replied. A bit warm
though he .added at the end of the
fourth block. Sure • is I replied.
Somehow I don't think my conver
sation made such a very good im
pression. But since a perfumed
blond curl was. occasionally blowed
across my cheek, I did not seem to
worry much about my conversa
tion. My worries being of a differ
ent sort.
The party began so delightfully,
that I shall always remember it.
Laughter fell thicker than shat
tered rose petals. A spirit of gaiety
surged through my soul. My usual
bashfulness seemed almost to have
vanished. No one could of carried
out the full spirit of such delightful
games, as drop the handkershief,
Jacob and Rachel, and spin the
bottle more fully than me. Besides
games, we also did some prome
nading and sang a few songs. But
their is really no need to recount
for you my many sources of happi
ness and bliss that Friday evening
Each moment had it's thrill. Betty
was beautiful beyond words, her
manners were perfect, and her
voice was unexcelled. I could feel
myself deeply effected more and
and more at each glance that I
stole in her direction.
Then suddenly I missied my
friend. I immediately began to
suspicion something and inquired
about his absence. Gradually, the
truth dawned upon me. Bill's
mother had not let him attend the
party due to a bad toothache; Bet
ty had therefore selected me as an
escort who she considered likely to
cause any kind of suspicion or
jealousy on the part of my friend
Bill. The complete and utter folly
of my grand allusions fell upon my
spirit like a great weight. Bashful-
nesst twisted my emotions into a
hard knot.
Y. M. C. A.
For the past eight weeks we have
been having a Y.M.C.A. course en
titled "Gateways to Freedom." As
yet our papers haven't been com
pleted, but we are confident that

the average.

order that you might “sharpen your
wit:" .. •

the following statements are true
or- false by placing an affirmative
or negative answer after each state
ment. ,
1. Everybody wants to be free.
2. True freedom consists in think
ing and doing what one ought to
do.
3. One grows more free by meet
ing and overcoming obstacles.
4. Freedom involves restraint for
the good of others.
5. The selling of a product that
is harmful to others interferes with
freedom.
6. Freedom relieves one from con
cern for others.
7. Less responsibilities one has
the more free he is.
8. The More one learns the less
free he is.
9. In a Democracy people are
kept too busy to enjoy freedom.

prejudice restricts freedom.
11. Negroes have as much op-
portunityin America as other peo

ply our wants and needs.
20. Jesus said that men gain free
dom by living his way of life.
State Spelling Contest
Mr. Joiner fixed the Seniors up
April Fool's Day. It happened by
coincidence (I seriously doubt this
tho) that we had the Emory
Scholarship Test and the State
Spelling Contest on this day.
Speaking of that spelling test,
those words were really hard. The
Emory test was a "honey" too. We
think we did "pretty good” on the
spelling, not gragging of course!
Our grades ranged from 88 to 69
with an average of 80.6.
The Seniors have quite a tra
dition to uphold; for the last two
years R. H. S. Seniors have won
the State Championship. Seniors
before this time had also won the
state title several times before this
to say nothing of District Cham
pionships won.
If you think the words are easy,
you just try to spell these words

Teachers Bombard
Students
Pot Pourri
1. Poor little Dan! At least that's t
what Ann Howard thinks. She felt i
so sorry (?) for him Friday that
she fixed his typewriter so he
wouldn't have to.
2. Boy, that Lonely Hearts Club
really got results. All the letters
were answered the next day. Gee,
what results WILL the H. T. Club
get? “Got to get going and
piffle!"
3. How Sue, Carolyn, and Ekie
rate! They even got to ride in the I
“A” at dinner. |
4. Poor old Frank had to sit up
and take all the heartfelt confes- j
sions of the girls Wednesday after
noon about their dream boys. He |
even consented to put in a good
word for us.
5. Donald wishes he knew some-!
thing. Wonder what it is?
6. Teacher's having to bribe ev
erybody in the first year typing
class so they won't tell what she
said Friday afternoon.
7. Wonder why everybody's say
ing this—in English.
Bonjour, ce matin. Beau matin,
ce matin. Si chaque matin etait
aussi beau que ce matin nous
aurons un beau matin chaque
matin.
There were many questions being
asked last week. The teachers
bombed the students from every
angle and ever range. The casualty
list has not been compiled yet but
it is expected to come out some
time next, week when the report
cards are distributed. After that
time the lunch room will serve
lunches from shelves built around
the wall. Some of the questions had
the effectof a ten-ton bomb while a
precious few were only duds.
This is a very unpleasant subject
to write and I believe it is a much
more unpleasant one to read. But I
was assigned to fill up space so
I'll continue.
The test began bright and early
on blue—and a very blue—Monday
morning and ended on a wonderful
Wednesday (it was one of the
most wonderful Wednesdays I've
ever seen).
I have filled up my assigned
space, so I'll quit. To you who have
borne with me I say, “More power
to you!”
