mountains is the Piedmont Plateaw.
Many low hills and wide valleys
are here. Athens is in this section.
South Georgia is in the great
Coastal Plains section. It is low

THE BANNER-HERALD, ATHENS, GEORGIA
ATHENS HIGCH SCHOOL
By CHARLES JOEL, '36
The high spot In school activi- |
ties this week was a speech deliv
ered by Mr. Abit Nix on “Loy
alty.” He spoke at assembly Fri
day in Mell auditorium.
“The two characteristics one
most admires in other people are
courage and loyalty,” stated Mr,
Nix.
“While vigiting in Chicago, 1
had the opportunity to visit a jail
und see the notorious Al Capone,
public enemy number one. 1 ask
ed him what traits he required in
his men. He answered without a
moment’s hesitation that his men
must have courage and a sense of
loyalty.”
During a visit to President
Roosevelt in the Little White
House Mr. Nix said that he asked
Mr. Roosevelt’s mother what had
brought her son to be citizen num
ber one of the United States.
‘She responded, ‘He is unafraid
‘and he is loyal to ideals. These
two characteristics have enabled
~him to achieve the position of
|]eadership he now occupies’.”
' The speaker stressed the fact
Ithat the times now demand young
people and older citizens who
have the capacity to be true.
loyal, and faithful to high pur
poses and ideals.
“There are three things,” de
clared Mr. Nix, “that all people
must be loyal to. The first is loy
ialty to the home which gives a
person a family name Which
lstands for worthwhile things.
One should never do anything to
mar this sacred heritage. One’s
family also gives one rich, red
bicod which means a well and
lsnong body, and the ability to
a-hieve in scholastic realms. Each
lof us owes it to our family never
' to do anything to rob our body or
' our mind of usefulness.
~ “Second, we must be loyal to
our country and community and
respect the rights of others.” The
speaker emphasized the necessity
for everyone realizing that pri
vate property is a sacred thing
and should never be injured or
taken.
“We need to realize that we are
the greatest country in the world
and that we have the greatest
government in the world,” said
the attorney. “The thinking and
conduct of you young people will
determine our government of the
future.
“Third, we should be loyal to
God who made us.”
In closing his address, Mr. Nix
reiterated that future America
depends on the coming genera
tion, and that no man or woman
could be a well-rounded citizen
who neglects loyalty to home and
family, to country, and to God.
Tate to Conduct Assembly
The program for assembly next
Friday will consist of a number
of musical selections by the Rev.
John Tate. ey
Chapel Exercises
The Character Education Com
mittee in addition to planning
the programs for the regular as
semblies on Friday is now spon
scring chapel exercises for the
faculty and student body every
Tuesday morning. The committee
has asked Mr. Mell to speak to
the group on the first Tuesday of
each month and students from
various home-rooms to conduct
the other programs.
Mr. Mell Speaks
Chapel exercises were held on
Tuesday with Principal E. B. Mell
in charge. The service was open
ed with the reading of Scripture
after which the student body sang
“Carry Me Back to Old Vir
ginny.”
Mr. Mell gave an interesting
speech on “School Spirit.” He
used as an example of true school
spirit, the Athens High school
football team in Lakeland, Fla.
The players were complimented
to Mr. Mell by a number of peo
ple as the best behaved group of
boyvs they had ever seen.
Further evidence of the beauti
ful school spirit that has prevailed
at Athens High school is the com
ments that visitors make on the
great courtesy shown to them by
the students.
Mr. Mell gave as another in
stance of the proper school spirit,
that manifested by a group of
boys who insisted that their class
mate who had made in their pres
ence an untruthful statement to
the principal. Mr. Mell said that
the group made the guilty person
make a confession to him.
“School spirit is not only mak
ing noise at football and basket
ball games,” declared the speaker.
“but true school spirit makes
boys and girls work together for
the advancement of the school.”
High Schoo! to Have Orchestra
A High school orchestra, under
the direction of Professor Dottery
and Mr. Mell, is being organized.
The task of getting an orchestra
into shape is long and tedious,
but Professor Dottery hopes to
have it in condition to play at
auditorium programs before many
weeks.

tory students are required to

A Good Time in The Snow
One afternoon when the snow
and ice were on the ground, my
uncle came for me to go sled rid
ing out at the country club. I had
my slcd and was ready when he
came. He had a (arge sled on the
back of his car, fastened by a
‘chain. I rode out there on the sled}
hooked onto the back of his oar.
It was swaying so much that 1
could hardly stay on. When we
got out there we took our sgleds
and went riding on the first green,
except that day it happened not to
be green. It was a very long hill,
and we had lots of fun. Down
near the bottom of the hill, it was
very steep. After we had ridden
a long time, we were ready to go
home. 1 rode back home on the
sled behind the car, as I did in go
ing out.

stay away. Our driveway got very
gsoft and slippery where our moth
ers and fathers could not pass over
it. We hope everybody had a
Merry Christmas and a Happy New
Year. Some of the boys in our
room made sleds too late, because
the snow was gone. Some people
are glad it is gone and others are
not. We hope Santa Claug did not
have g hard time getting to your
houses.

certain craving for sweetg after
the heavy.meal when you get to
the point where you just can’t s
swallow another mouthful.
Chewing gum may be served
with ‘the coffee in the living room, ‘
passed around with the cigarettes,
or put on the able immdiately af
ter dessert. 'The gum may be at
tractively served on a shiny little
silver plate.
