Renee Smith
Renee Smith is number eight
in a family of eleven. This
eighteen-year-old, five feet,
two inch blond beauty is a fine
example of wholesome, Ameri
can youth. She is alert to the
things around her and cher
ishes those things which have
played a great role in her life.
Speaking of her early
childhood days in Jackson Ga.,
Renee points out the fact that
she is proud of her rural
heritage. She fondly remem
bers the many animals that she
tamed and loved as pets -
rabbits, ducks, dogs. Especial
ly, does she speak of the wild
baby rabbits that she often
j found at hay hauling time and
tamed by her gentle touch and
tender care. Renee’s mena
gerie offered her many
humorous incidents.
FAMILY COW
One time she confesses she
decided to milk the family cow,
but the adventure was an
“utter” failure, and both she
and the cow were glad when
| Renee abandoned the project.
Renee described herself as
tomboyish, “very very tom
boyish , not frills. I hate to dress
up, but I like to look nice in
public and be sloppy at home.”
She admits that she talks too
much, but what she says
makes good sense.
Speaking about youth today
; Renee feels, “Youth today are
not given enough credit for
what they are capable of
doing.” Renee is truly a
capable young lady. She served
as secretary of her freshman,
junior, and senior class. She
was a member of the Jackson
High’s Honor Society and
Co-Captain of the Varsity
Cheerleader Squad. Mrs. Va
nita Maxwell, Renee’s nomi
nating teacher said of Renee,
“She has the initiative to see
that any job given her is
completed to the best of her
ability.”
EDUCATION
Renee is very sure of how she
feels about her education. “I
never wanted to go to college,
but I wanted something beyond
high school,” she said. “I think
that vocational education is
offering people, young and old
alike, an opportunity to
improve their skills without
spending their life’s savings on
education.” Following this
philosophy she is in her third
quarter as a Secretarial
Science student but has
already completed courses
that fourth-quarter students
usually take.
MARRIAGE
The future for Renee
includes completing her educa
tion and acquiring a suitable
job, but also her plans for
marriage. Her eyes sparkle
when she speaks of her steady
boyfriend, who is a lineman
and with whom she has been
dating for four years.
Sundays find Renee in
church with her family.
Perhaps this is one of the
major reasons she says that
she is “a straight, no trouble,
church-going, family-loving
girl.”

(Editor's note: These four Griffin Tech students are winners
in the school’s GOAL awards program, similar to the state
STAR teacher-student program. It recognizes outstanding
achievements by vocational-technical students across the
state. One of the four will be named next Tuesday at the
Griffin Exchange Club’s meeting as Griffin-Tech winner and
will compete in district and state events. The Exchange Club
and the Griffin Area Chamber of Commerce sponsor the local
event. The Exchange Club will meet Tuesday at Bonanza
Restaurant to have the program honoring the local GOAL
winners. The stories about the four students were written by
Charles Whatley of Griffin Tech’s staff.)

Eddie Willis
With a quick, ready smile
and a kind word to all, Eddie
Willis goes about his work at
Griffin Tech. Eddie is presi
dent of the student council and
devotes a great deal of both
effort and time to making it an
effective organization. He
tackles all tasks with enthus
iasm and determination.
This same determination got
Eddie through army basic
training. He says when he felt
down and out and wanted to
quit that he just told himself,
“If the next guy can do it so can
I.” He successfully made it
through the infantry days and
began thinking about his
education.
But first he took time out to
buy a car, get married and
then decided to get the
education. After working on
the job for a while, he realized
that training would offer him
more security. He feels that “If
a man has a skill, he has
something he can offer an
employer.” “I am looking for
security and a better way of
life for myself and my family.”
MACHINE SHOP
In Griffin Tech’s machine
shop, Eddie is receiving the
skill to secure his future.
When he was a student at
Jackson High School, Eddie
played football and hoped to go
to college and play, but he got
sidetracked. His activities on
the farm that his family lived
on have influenced him
greatly. He learned in the 4-H
and FFA how to be a leader
and how to reach his goals. His
prize pig won first place in the
County Fair, and Eddie was a
State Champion in Field Crop
Demonstration using corn as
his crop.
Like so many Vo-Tech
students, he works full time

and comes to school full time.
Eddie is at the Sherwin
Williams Paint Company until
12:00 each night, and yet he is
ready for school the next day.
His attendance record is
unique. He has missed no more
than two days in any given
quarter.
REMAIN
He hopes to remain in the
Griffin Area after graduation.
He and his wife Shirley Ann
and their son Arico (18 months)
enjoy the home they have
bought on North Hill Street.
Keeping the yards beautiful
is a challenge to Eddie who
cuts his grass and trims his
hedges and enjoys watching
things grow.
Growth is important to
Eddie. He realized the value of
each person’s being able to
make the most of his abilities
and speaks proudly of the fact
that he and his three sisters all
graduated from high school.
His “baby sister” is in college
now and Eddie is doubly proud
for her.
Eddie’s nominating instruc
tor Horace F. Bond, feels that
Eddie’s attitude “is probably
the best of any student I have
had in my six years of
teaching. He has never
frowned on any assignment I
have given him.”

Tenets Of
New Church
Released
Donald Sheffield of Jackson,
lay leader in the newly
organized Assembly of God
Church in Jackson, this week
released the ten tenets of faith
of the Assembly of God Church.
Mr. Sheffield released the
beliefs in order that people in
this area can know more about
their church.
The tenets of faith are
released as follows:
WE BELIEVE . . .
... the Bible is the inspired
and only infallible and authori
tative Word of God.
. . . there is one God,
eternally existent in three
persons: God the Father, God
the Son, and God the Holy
Ghost.
... in the diety of our Lord
Jesus Christ, in His virgin
birth, in His sinless life, in His
miracles, in His vicarious and
atoning death, in His bodily
resurrection, in His ascension
to the right hand of the Father,
in His personal future return to
this earth in power and glory to
rule a thousand years.
... in the Blessed Hope -- the
Rapture of the Church at
Christ’s coming.
. . . the only means of being
cleansed from sin is through
repentance and faith in the
precious blood of Christ.
. .. regeneration by the Holy
Spirit is absolutely essential
for personal salvation.
... the redemptive work of
Christ on the cross provides
healing of the human body in
answer to prevailing prayer.
. . . the baptism of the Holy
Spirit, according to Acts 2:4, is
given to believers who ask for
it.
... in the sanctifying power
of the Holy Spirit by whose
indwelling the Christian is
enabled to live a holy life.
... in the resurrection of both
the saved and the lost, the one
to everlasting life and the other
to everlasting damnation.
The church is meeting each
Sunday and Tuesday evening
at 537 East Third Street.
Sunday services begin at ten
o’clock and seven o’clock with
prayer meeting on Tuesday

TEST TO BE SURE
Spot and Stain Removal
Test to be sure, before
removing any spot or stain
from a garment or household
testile item. Spots and stains
come from many and varied
sources. Even more diversified
are the many textile products.
A single fiber may vary greatly
with the dye and finish used.
It’s always best to test any spot
or stain remover on a seam or
facing. Check for any change,
particularly in color.
Read the label before using
any commerical product. Any
caution should be followed. For
instance, some commercial
products warn against using
the product on acetate fabrics.
Iron-on Products
Iron-on interfacings and
fusing agents for bonding two
fabrics are very popular in
home sewing today. They can
eliminate a great deal of hand
stitching. However, you must
be sure the product is suitable
for your fabric and garment
style. Test any iron-on product
or fusing agent on a scrap of
fashion fabric before using it in
the garment. Check for any
changes in texture or color of
the fabric. Also check the hand.
While you want added body to
undercollar and lapels, some
products may make a hem too
heavy or stiff.
Removing Creases
A half-and-half solution of
white vinegar and water used
to dampen a press cloth will aid
in removing creases from
hems. This technique can also
be used to remove heat-set
wrinkles from polyester fabric.
A word of caution, test to be
sure that there is no change in
fabric color before using. A
seam or facing is an ideal spot
for testing Any color change
that occurs cannot be reversed.
A few minutes spent in testing
can prevent permanent dam
age to a garment.

DONT CRASH DIET
Many women think it’s
easier to lose weight by going
on a “crash” or “fad” diet. Not
so, says Martha Johnson, nutri
tion specialist with the Uni
versity of Georgia Cooperative
Extension Service. Any diet
which varies radically from
usual food patterns should be
undertaken only with the
advice of a physician. Ideally,
many kinds of foods in small
quantities are included on a
diet menu, rather than a
monotonous few. Thus the
dieter maintains good nutrition
while losing surplus pounds.
