JONES Phone JA 4-5273 Post Office Box 506 Cynthia says.. by Cynthia Davis 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.
