'ATHENS HIGH SCHOOL ‘—_—“-—-—————_— ; By MARY DARDEN, '37 l Dr. Wheeler Speaks ' At Assembly I Dr. J. T, Wheeler of the Voca tional department of the Univer sity of Georgia, spoke to the stu dent body and faculty of Athens High on “Thg Ffervice Demanded by TEveryone,” Friday, October 30, in Mell auditorium. Dr, Wheeler discussed the mean ing of the word ‘vocation” and the important place it holds in the working world. The word “vocation” e¢omes from the Latin word ‘“‘voco,” which means to call. Dr. Wheeler stated that when society calls for service and men and women respond, they find themeelves in vocations. Dr. Wheeler said that if stu dents would look uron vocation as a calling of society to service that many problems would be solved and people made happier, The speaker classed vocations under two main heads: vocations that create commodities and voca tions that create service. I Althougii the vocation of pro ducing commodities employs a much larger percentage of peorle, the vocations that dreate service require longer and more highly trained workers to carry them on. The speaker stated that the worth of voecations, however, is not meas ured by length of preparation re quired, but by the kind of judg ment exercised in the carrying out of the vocation. Dr. Wheeler stated that 26,000,- 000 women ar, engaged in doing full time work in the vocation of home-making. This fact proves that there as many women en gaged in full time work in this fleld as men and women employed in the vocatjon of producing com modities, the largest one in the world. “The vocation of producing com modities and that of home-making are the larg, fields toward which the youth of today move,” was | the concluding remark of Dr. Wheeler., } Commercial Club I Organizes A commercial club, made up of’l students interested in variots rhases of business, was organized at High school, Thursday, Octo ber 29, with Miss Althea Bailey as Sponsoro { Mary Fred Warwick was clected | president; Rheuamie Nelms, vice- . president; Vivian Bridges, secre-] tary: and Jane Preston, freasurer.

Among the most outstand ing was one of Feliz Salten’s book, “Bambi,” given by Richard Morris of the 111-A section. The book was published in 1929 by Grosset and Dunlap of New York. Richard’'s review is as follows: “As John Galsworthy says in the foreword; ‘‘Bammi’ is a delicious book.” There is not a better word. The author is truly a poet and norirays the life of @ deer, Bambi, as well as one could portray a character, Th, book is simply de licious. “Bambi, a bright little deer, is born into a strange world. He soon learns ‘to talk and under stand the language of deer as babies learn from their own mothers and fathers. As he makes friends and gruws up, Bambi has. a romance which adds beauty. “The description of the forests, of the animals, and even of nature is most beautiful. The reader, after getting a good start in the hook, seems to become a deer. The picture is so vivid that this book should readily be called, as Mr. Galsworthy says, ‘a little mas terpiece.! Many reople call it real literature. 2 “So unlike the usual animal story in which the chief charae ter is almost always perfect, ‘Bambi’ touches the heart. The real beauty of animal life seems to be outstending. The author very strikingly writes of that which is terror to wild life—man. This bit of literature is really hu man. The sportsman would prob ably like it best, although one who loves beauty without exag geration surely cannot miss this delightful story, : “Kven a sportsman, after read ing ‘Bambi’ will hesitate a long ‘while before he hunts deer.” Committee Plans : Programs For Bird Club : The program committee of the Bird club met October 26 in Roox}n 2 to map out the programs for this year's meetings. At each meeting the club hopes to have Mr. Mell speak to them for ten minutes on some particu lar bird. The lives of bird lovers and their contributions to the study of birds will also be pre sented at each meeting. The club hopes to go further into the study of hirds by taking field trips and observing the liv ing forms of various birds.

Dottery Has Hopes Of Orchestra ; Professor Deottery has high hopes for this year's orchestra, since only two of its members wer, graduated last June. In another week or two re hearsing and try-outs will be held. Given below is a poem written ¢n October 27, during activity period in Room 28, by Marion Burt, a member of the 111-A Eng lish section: : HOW AUTUMN CAME “This auutmn eame on smoky wings, I saw when it ascended: ’3, I smelled the scent of burning leaves, A And saw fires carefully tended . : i I saw the women pile more leaves, | Upon their blazing heap; 11 lI watched the blackened leaves soar high, ! And acorns crack and leap, 1 I"me somewhere crert a lonely i breeze, { That whirled the leaves around; |1 saw th, leaves fall from the street, ! And softly hit the ground. | E “Ihe breeze blew on, far down the stret, ! And set the gay leaves free; i It made a sight so simple, sweet, i It suddenly bewitched me, , { | “The women looked back on their | vards, | But shook their heads and I smiled | When they saw that the yards I they'd swept,. Again with leaves were piled. “The autumn came on Ssmoky wings, | I knew, when twilight came, | For «ll the air was filled with smoke; . I saw autumn when it came.” A T ———— An Appreciation of Athens High Schoo! | l . (An Editorial) 5 ‘ Athens High!
