“Typists Wiork on Speed Tests
The typewriting students at Ath
eng High are at present workmgl

wdrds per mintute before the end

cujar typists have achieved the

Seniors Write Autobiographies
dhe fathers and mothers of
many seniors of Athens High
scheol have doubtlesy been enjoy
ing the autobiographies being writ
ten at the preseént time by the
members of the fourth year class.
Orfe student said, with reference
to this fact, “My father knew all
abeut his ancestors, but mother
knew little of hers. Now she is
writing all over the country to get
information.”
Industrious senlors, in toiling
ovér such a seripus problem, write
much about their gchool days, as
well as their childhood, with such
events as cutting the first tooth,
the first school day, and school
pranks, occurring in the story at
different intervals,
Practically every author of his
or her autobiography seems to
mention one of the most thrilling
moments in a lifetime, the one
when the first date arrvives. The
following quotation is apt to be
geep in one: “I was awfully ner
vous. I did not know how to aect,
what to do, or when to do it. But,l
I must gay, if there ever was a
thrilling moment to happen, it was
that when I had my first soeln.l‘
date.” \‘
Many illustrations are included
in the combpositions, A coat of
arms, in bright colors, of one fam
ily was jssued as the front cover
for one student’s autobiography,
while photographs, kodak pietures,
and the like, are often to be found
throughout the writings. .
mTr:;l’y “l;er; is one chance that
one can have to “show himself up.”

ROBIN HOOD
This story I'll unfold,
As the ballads have told.
There was a man named Robin
Hood, ;
In the forests of Greenwood he
stood.
He had a band of merry men,
They numbered two score and a
half, plus ten,
Once he met & man, {sittle John,
Of whom he was very i®nd.
To the king he was known,
Many times his horn was blown.
He slept among the fern,
As men did learn.
He usually hit the bulls-aye
Just fine;
The target was made of pine.
He also shot the king’s deer;
Of him they had not fear.
Robin’s fair horn
‘Was heard at morn.
He robbed the rich, he gave to
the poor;
He found great castles in the big
! moor.,
. One Little John said, “Give us
: rules, master,
And we will go very much faster.”
This is what Robin said,
For he had a good head:
“These are the rules 1 followed
in my life.
If you must, use your hunting
Knife,
Be very kind and good;
To the poor, give food."”
Men to his band flocked;
When people came, his chest he
unlocked.
“Help anyone in need,
The helpless you shall lead.”
This Robin said.

flowers are bright blue. Linen
fiber is in the stem ~f a flax plant.
I¢ is taken ouy after being soaked
in waten., The fibers are sepa
rateq and the best ones are used
for cloth, Some of the coarse, poor
fibers are made into rope and

hard te make a living. A two acre
farm is considered a large one.
They also raise silkworms and
have many factories for manufac
turing silk. The raising.of silk
worms is very interesting and is

Memorial Day Program Is Given
Memcrial Day was observed at
University High in the assembly
Monday, April 19. Mr. Henry
West, prominent Athens lawyer,
was the principal speaker. Prof.
R. T. Dottery, leader of the Uni
versity of Georgia band, gave two
instrumental solos. He was ac
companied by Mrs. Dick Fergu
son,
Mr. West talked of the spirit
of patriotism that has led the
South to play a noble part in
every war that America has ever
fought. The activities of the
South indicate that ideals have
ever led the Southern soldiers.
Just as the difference of opinion
divided the United States at the
time of the War Between the
States, so at a later period a com
mon ideal brought the two sec
tions together. Witfout hesitancy
the South joined the North in the
World War, and the division, ani
mosity, and bitterness were for
ten.
‘Mr., West pointed te the brav
ery of Sergeant York of Tennes
see, and of the Alabama gection
of the Rainbow Division as exam
ples of the South’s contribution to
America’s part in the World War,
Dr. Wilkinson Speaks At Chapel
Rev. J. C. Wilkinson, pastor of
the First Baptist church, spoke to
the students of University High
in assembly Friday, April 30.
The theme of Dr. Wilkinsen’s
talk 'was found in his statemeat;
“Jaducation is for the purpovse of
correcting habits.” Through a se
ries of illustrations, the speaker
pointed out that most of our
habits are formed accidentally,
and are therefore frequently not
of as much advantage to us as
they should be. The correction of
such habits requires conscious and
persistent effort. Ed'ucation is
really accomplished only when
habits are so firmly fixed that
they function in times of great
stress.
Just preceding Dr. Wilkinson’s
talk, the Home Economics club
presented a short play in which
the value of home economics was
evident. The rlay, “The Bachel
or's Dilema,” showed the singlée
man’s problem of finding some
one who can efficiently manage
the problems of the household.
Appearing in the play were J. .
Parham, Harriett Wallace, Wer
ner Collins, Gwendolyn Sanders,
Margare, Iraulkner, Helen Tedd,
Frances Eberhart, Mildred Shep
herd and Evelyn Oldham.
