Japanese Speaker
Reveals Conditions
Of Japanese People
By Inez McCart.
Excellent work is being done in
the three young people’s organi
zations of the Presbyterian, Bap
tist and Methodist, churches.
Splendid programs are given
each Sunday night, but Sunday
night, Feb. 29, brought forth one
of the best in many weeks.
The three Leagues met together
in a Union Service at the Metho
dist church. Miss Stewart was re
sponsible for the program, and we
were all very happy to learn that
she had engaged an out-of-town
guest to speak to us.
It was our great pleasure to have
Keyoshi Tonimoto, from Kobe,
Japan. Each ear was turned at
tentively to our speaker as he re
lated some of the very undesir
able conditions existing in Japan.
Anyone hearing this talk, I feel
sure, would be anxious to put forth
great effort in order to alter these
conditions.
1 We could not help but think
how fortunate we are, having the
J glorious Christian opportunity notion with of living priv- in
a the
ilege of worshiping Gnd as they
wish.
Closely we watched and listened
to Keyoshi as he revealed the story
of some points in his Christian
life; how he accepted Christ as
his Savior, but was rejected by
his father who is » leader of
Buddism. Keyoshi says that he
can not return to his home when
he has again returned to Japan.
Here I would like to give some
information concerning the edu
cation and work of Keyoshi Toni
moto.
He has been in the United
States for three years, and is do
ing graduate work and writing
his thesis at Emory University.
I Fight Ways To „ 1
Cheat Yourself
By Jean Cook.
If you are a cheater you should
start doing something about it to
day.
Remember, when you are cheat
ing, you hurt no one except your
self.
When you cheat, you lower
your character, you learn very
little if anything.
Sometime students cheat them
selves by saying these things:
1. I didn’t have the assign
ment.
2. The period was too short.
3. The History lesson was too
lon S'
4. The assignment was too
hard, I couldn’t understand it.
5. I didn’t understand how to
go about it.
6. The room was so noisy I
couldn't study.
7. I was too tired.
8. I don t like to work for Mr.
Blank, I’d rather work for the
physics teacher.
By doing these things you can
build better habits.
1. Copy the assignment in a
regular place before you leave the
class.
2. Getting started. Train your
self to start promptly.
3. Budget your time as you
would your spending money.
4 . Use dictionary’ encyclopedia
and other references.
5. An outline will help on im
portant things.
fi. Train yourself so that noise
wont bother you.
7. Study the lesson for your
own sake, not for the teacher’s
sake.
From 40 to 45 per cent of the
total annual rail movement of
fresh fruits and vegetables in in
spected on the basis of grade
standards.
Before coming to America, he at
tended a Methodist training school
in Japan.
When he graduates from Emory
he plans to study for a year at
Columbia Seminary. This will cli
max his studies in America, as he
then plans to return to his home
land, where he will enter into
active ministry, endeavoring to
bring the story of Christ to the
orientals, w'ho have never heard
of God.

G. 'A’s Hold
Regular Meeting
By Mary Wilson
There is a Girl’s Auxiliary or
ganization in Porterdale, but few
people know about it, so right now
1 want to give a few facts about
this club. It is known as the G,
A’s, and originated in the Baptist
church. There are about fifteen or
twenty members in the Senior De
partment. The meetings are held
on the first Tuesday night of each
month at 7:00 o’clock. The girls
hold the meetings at the homes
of the members.
The last meeting was held at
Mamie Miller's home, with fif
teen members, and Mrs. Rollings,
present. The program was based
on a play about students in other
countries, who attend the Baptist
Mission schools.
If you could have been there at
that meeting and just heard what
some of these Chinese and Japan
ese think of us, you would have
been proud that you live in Amer
ica, so you could improve the con
ditions here.
These foreign boys and girls
think that American people are
grand. This program was given
as a play, where the Chinese, Jap
anese and other foreign children
gave their ideas of American life.
They say they don’t believe that
the younger set of people in Amer
ica drink, or smoke. They want
to live as we do; we are their
ideals, so I think that we should
live, so that we would not be
ashamed for one of them to know
of our every thought and action.
The G. A’s had a short business
session before the program, at
which a supper was planned. They
planned a supper to be held Sat
urday night, April 20. 1940. The
menu is to be Tenderized Ham,
Irish Potatoes, English Peas, Cran
berry Jelly, Macaroni and Cheese,
Hot Rolls and coffee or tea. There
will be two different priced plates
15c and 25c. The money made on
this supper will be used this sum
mer when the girls go on their
summer camping Grip. Let’s every
one make our dates ahead of time
and be right there Saturday night,
April 20.
All of you Girls who don’t be
long come to the next meeting and
you’ll find a hearty welcome.
We have had two new members
recently, Nettie Lee Castleberry
and Sue Martin. The other mem
bers are: Mary Rye, Virginia Sow
ell^ Rena Mamie and Ruby Miller, Bowers, Ruth Hewell, Melba
Bonner, Hilda Mitchell, Doris and
Marian Hazzard, Mary and Lyn
ette Wilson, Barbara Rollings, Opal
Kitchens and Mrs. Harvey Rol
lings, our teacher. The next meet
ing will be held at Rena Bower-s’
home, ‘May 7, so let’s everyone
be there.

Plans Of Senior
Class Revealed
By Mary Lane (Senior Class)
When Miss Elder asked me, as
reporter of the Senior Class, if
I would contribute to the “P, H.
S. in Review,” I was indeed hon
ored and very much flattered as
I always am, when someone rates
me so highly as to consider my
writings worthy of newspaper re
cognition. When I asked her for
a suggestion for something to
write about, she suggested that I
tell about some of the senior’s
plans. Of course, this pleased me
exceedingly, because at the pres
ent writing, we have more plans
than anything else. But before I
tell of them I would like to con
gratulate the Juniors on their “P.
H. S. in Review.” Last week’s
section was very interesting and
I’m sure it proved helpful to the
entire High School, and I shall
be glad to help in any way with
the paper whenever called upon.
Now for the plans—We have
already received our personal
cards and invitations and have
had our class rings since October.
Friday, our names were sent in for
diplomas, and we are looking for
ward to receiving them on the
night of May 17th. We are going to
make an imaginary trip to Mars
on our Class Night program, the
date undecided as yet. but will
occur one night during Senior
Week. May 10th is the date chos
en by the Juniors for the Junior
Senior Banquet, and May 12th
will be the Sunday for the Bacca
laureate Sermon. We would also
like to remind everyone that we
are presenting Uncle Ned and his
Texas Wranglers Show, April 12,
and that we can really use the
money, because we are leaving
the 21st of May, for Jacksonville.
Fla., returning home the 25th, if
we don't get stranded financially,
and no one would want that to
happen, so come down to see the
show and help us out.
Our ‘CSp and Gown order’ has
already been placed, and outside
of the various parties to be given
for us Senior Week, this completes
our plans.
We are planning on having lots
of fun, so you can well see for
the rest of this school year we
are going to be busy as bees—
but we LIKES it!

Reason* why you
Should Not Quit
A Heading School
By Hazel Rollins
Every year, we experience the
sad thing of seeing some of our
boys and girls start school and
then stop. This year we have had
a number to make this mistake.
Miss King, the teachers, and some
of the pupils, when they hear of
someone stopping school, go to
the person and talk to them. They
try to show them that they are
making a big mistake, and will
regret it for the rest of their life.
We had one to almost stop, but
by the help of our teachers saw
that he was wrong, and kept on
going. Most of them, though, just
laugh and say ‘‘we, will never
regret it,” but find they are very,
very much mistaken.
Today in Porterdale, there is no
excuse in the world for a boy or
girl to not have a High School
Education. We have free schcool
books given to us, and free schools.
A few years ago. our fathers
and mothers would have given
almost anything they had, to have
had the great opportunity we have
of going to school today. It was
very seldom one of them ever
finished High School and it was
n't because they didn't have an
opportunity.
I know a man, now, that did
n’t have a chance to go any far
ther than the third grade. You
may laugh and say, ‘‘poor fellow”,
but this man wanted an education
so badly that he saved his money
and bought books. He studied
these books and bought more, and
studied them, until today, this
man is a very well educated per
son. You can ask him almost any
thing you want to and he can tell
you about it. His mother died
when he was born and his father
died when he was very small, so
you can see that he had to dig
for himself.
Why haven’t we this much en
thusiasm today? Is it that we have
had too much done for us and
have not been made t,o dig for
ourselves? Do we look for other
people to study for us, and do our
thinking?
Here is some advice from a
person who stopped school a few
years ago. “Boys and girls, don’t
quit, for you don't know what
you are missing. Oh Yea, I know
what you are saying to yourself
and to your classmates, who ever
this is writing this doesn’t know
what he is talking about. Well,
I do. and boys and girls don’t
quit for your sake as well as for
mine. I went to school and got
the notion in my head of stopping,
and in less than a week I regret
ed it, and still do, I am still young,
not yet twenty, and you are saying
“why don’t you go back to school,:’
well, I went to work when I quit.
After you go to work it looks as
if you can’t stop working and go
back to school as much as you
wish. Let me tell you work is no -
