Charles King
Named Sailor
Os the Month
Charles King, son of Mr. and
Mrs. C. L. King of Nahunta, has
been named “Sailor of the Month’’
on the USS Krishna.
His parents received from his
i commander the following letter:
“Dear Mr. and Mrs. King,
“Each month on board USS
KRISHNA it is my good fortune,
as Commanding Officer to aid in
the selection of a man of this com
mand as “KRISHNA’S Sailor of
the Month.” This man is chosen
not for the quantity and quality
cf his work alone, but for the ideal
he represents and for the example
he sets for his fellow shipmates.
In the Navy it is particularly true
that we literally exist because of
the dedication of men whose first
allegiance is given to duty and
country before self. Such devo
tion should not go unnoticed, and
it is to this end that a man is
selected for this special award.
“It is with great pleasure that
I inform you that your son
Charles is considered representa
tive of these high standards and
has been chosen as “KRISHNA’S
Sailor of the Month.” In recogni
tion of his outstanding perfor
mance, Charles will be awarded
a meritorious Mast, a ship’s pla
que, and a gift certificate that
may be exchanged at his choos
ing.
“This is an honor of which both
you and he may be justly proud;
Sincerely yours,
L. C. RUEFF
Lieutenant Commander
U. S. Navy
Commanding Officer”
Seniors Given
Mental and
Physical Tests
By Melinda Wilson
As Nahunta’s Home Econo
mics representative to the
literary meet in Douglas April
1, I have carried out a project
on mental and physical health.
While carrying out this pro
ject I gave the seniors at Na
hunta High a mental survey.
When compiling the results
of this survev I found that the
seniors of Nahunta High are
mentally healthy and are able
to meet the challenges of the
future, but they are also im
mature in some aspects.
1. I found that over half of
the seniors worry about what
is going to happen to them in
the future.
2. Approximately half of the
seniors often get out of trouble
by stretching the truth a little.
3. Almost half of the seniors
can not take criticism without
being “upset” by it.
4. Over half of the seniors
believe when the teacher cri
ticizes the class, the criticism
is directed at them personally.
To meet the demands of life,
to be a success, and to feel
comfortable around other peo
ple, we must be in good men
tal health.
Mental health is the basis of
happiness. Happiness must be
defined by each individual ac
cording to his own needs and
satisfactions. Mental health in
volves many areas of physical
health because when we are
mentally unhappy, we are also
physically unhealthy.
