Students who sold the most
nagazine subscriptions dur
ng the magazine sales select
ed their prizes last week-
There were some very nice
prizes for the winners to se
ect from, such as watches,
cameras, radios, etc. There
was also a prize of an auto
graph hound for the student
who sold the most subscrip
tions each day. Each year a
goal is set that the seniors try
to reach, and this year we
went S9OO over our goal. We
were very pleased with this
fact.
Last Wednesday was a day
:>f crisis for some students.
It was the day we received our
irst report cards. You know,
he first one is always the
'ou&hest to look at. Have you
,ver noticed the way every
)ne looks at his first report
of the year? It is so in
eresting to watch the differ
ent expressions on everyone’s
’ace when he opens his report
?ard and peeks at it for the
very first time. He won’t take
t out all the<way. He just
Jowly pulls it up, exposing
mly one grade at a time (to
void massive shock).
After every grade has been
carefully surveyed, the stud
ent is either in a state of
hock or grinning and asking
everyone else what he made
(which infuriates one to no
md if he has a bad report
.ard).
Now the crisis is over and
,he student reluctantly takes
he card home to be observed
3y his parents- They sig-h, uh,
mean sign it, and the ordeal
s over for six weeks. We real
ze, however, that there will
>e five more to cope with be
' ore school is dismissed for
he year.
Mrs. Evans’ study hall pre
ented a most interesting
Jay in chapel Friday. Follow
ng the play, announcements
were given by students, Mr.
Albert Payne, Coach Snell and
Mr. Jenkins (the “Mr. Vane”
f Seminole High). Mr. Payne,
who is also Donalsonville’s
lew Nazarene minister, gave
nore details concerning the
•chool’s presidential election,
le stated that the election
will be a good experience for
the students of today, who
will be the citizens of tomor
row.
In closing, Rebecca McLeod
ays, “Happiness is knowing
hat every time you see a
patrolman coming you don’t
have to worry, ‘cause you’ve
'inally gotten your driver’s
icense.” '
Mr. and Mrs. Edmond Ger
mon and daughter, Julia have

painful injury in which she

Germon is recuperating with
her parents, Mr. and Mrs.
Issac Parker. Julia is also en
joying visiting her grand
parents.
The family is being joined
