) How Do You Spend
1 Your Spare Time?
I By Herbert Bunch
t
i According to the American
}' Youth Commission, ten per cent
V, ‘ of the young people in Maryland,
when asked how their spare time
was spent, gave replies like the
> following:
“Just walk around like the oth
n er* do.”
-7 “Walk around and home to
cr go
! bed.”
“Sit in front of the door.”
"Lie under * ihade tree in the
I »unmer.”
■
"Hide in a truck, ride in a ear
er loaf.”
Do you spend your spare time
i doing these things?
Young people today have more j
t s time for recreation than did their j
t i parents a generation ago. On the
1 ether hand, opportunities for re
| creation have grown scarcer f 01
thousands of youths who live un
der crowded city condition. These
! youths may do nothing but loaf
i in their spare time, and they may j
i develop undesirable habits. ,
Few people realize that spare- ’
j time enjoyment and thinking requires as much
I planning as our
working time.
One of the busiest persons we
know of in Porterdale is one of j
I tbe high school teachers, Miss El- j
dev. She said in our English 1
I once
class she would not know what to j
do if she had any spare time. We
i know she stays busy and we can
*ee the results. She is doing good
i work for Porterdale High and its
community. We think she is leav-

would spend his spare time work

enjoy life better. Many fail to
I enjoy their spare time because

Why not take interest in reerea
tional activities? This would help
in your spare time. Activities as
attending movies, listening to ra

basketball, tennis, golf, club work
and many others? Try to take part
in these things in your spare
time.
I have interviewed *ome of the
high achool students during the
week-end, just to find out what
they do during their spare time.
Bette Bowden—-we alt know she
is a very good sport. She spends
* ler spate time playing basketball,
softball, swimming, reading, list
oning to the radio and keeps a
scrapbook on medicine. She is very
interested in medicine, and hopes
1° become a nutse in later years.
Fay Sprayjierry—a very hard
worker, said she had no spare
time. We can see the results of
her work, because she is tops in
every one of her subjects. We
know she will be a successful stu
dent at Piedmont College.
Pete Day—a very good sport al-

ketball, swimming, tennis, read

lot of candy.
Billy Crowell is very interested

A few weeks ago most of the
student body learned from various
sources that a large number of our
favorite teachers are not to be
with u* next year. Various opin
ions have been expressed, but each
has had the same keynote. Before
all the excitement of the banquet
and graduation arose, this was the
favorite topic of conversation in
every nook and corner of our
school. It is fitting, therefore, to
dedicate this space of our school
paper to these teachers.
To Miss Glenn:
I speak the sentiment of the en
tire student body of Porterdale
School when I say we are to lose
one of the finest persons our
school has ever come to know.
She will always be remembered
by her good sportsmanship, her
ever-ready smile and her pleas
ing personality. To Miss Glenn, on
behalf of our school, I give out
most sincere appreciation and ad
miration.
To Mr. Burke;
Although Mr. Burke is leaving
us we will always remember him
as the red-haired shop teacher.
Every student in high schooi
knows and admires him as an ex
cellent teacher and a thorough
gentleman. Many thanks to the
quiet spoken man who has won
and hold* still the friendship of
every student.
To Miss Williams:
Miss Williams is better known
to the girls, but she has many
friends among the boys, also.
When Miss McCall left us. we
didn’t think another Home Eco
nomics teacher could ever fill her
place, but we wish to say that
Miss Williams has filled her place
admirably. She has lived up to
our expectations and above them.
Thanks to you, Miss Williams!
To Mr. Wright:
To you, Mr. Wright, goes our
gratitude for being the swell per
son that you are. Every student
knows and admires Mr. Wright.
We hope he turns out as many
fine typing students wherever else
he goes. Good luck, Mr. Wright!
Miss Eva Mask, although she is
a grammar grade teacher is due
some of our gratitude. Most of us
have had Miss Mask as our leader
either in school or in the various
clubs. In behalf of the school, I
wish to thank Miss Mask for ev
erything that she has done for
us. We will always think of her as
one of the finest teachers ever.
To Miss Conn and Miss Gilland
we wish all the happiness possible.
They really deserve the best.
Thanks to you two,
There are other grammar grade
teachers who have not decided
definitely, but we want to express
our gratitude to them, also. Good
luck to all of them.
To Miss Elder:
We wish to thank you, Miss El
der, for being one of the most un
derstanding and most considerate
teachers we have had. Good luck
to you.

Roys Heard at Gym
By Ferrell Love
Everyone who was present at
the gym Thursday night greatly
enjoyed the program sponsored by
the Redmen.
This appearance was the sec
ond one for the boys, and we think
they did real well. We were also
entertained by a little act by the
I Redmen.

Boys” will be back later for an
'
other appeal ance. So next
let’s show those boys a larger
1 crowd.

I successful at Oglethorpe.
Melba Bonner—the star tennis
player, likes to listen to her radio,
She is good at bat tennis and table
tennis, too.
Ruth (Curley Hewell is a good
basketball guard, said she had
nothing to do in her spare time
since basketball season is out.
Mary Rye—Likes to read books
(especially the Tech Yellowback
et.) She spends most of her time
playing ping pong and is a very
good player. She takes up a lot
of time with animals especially
cows.
Louis Lyda is a good bat tennis
player. He also plays a lot of
ping pong.
Agnes Harper spends her spare
time reading, playing ping pong,
tennis and riidng her bicycle.
Don't you like to attend movies,
Agnes?

“What's My Name"
By Allene Harper
“What’s My Name” is offered
for entertainment and to make you
better acquainted with the promi
nent people of our city.
This week’s consists of agents,
faculty members and members of
business world.
While an interne in college he
made the highest grades of any
one his age. He and his wife and
very much in demand in the so
cial whirl, He has won many
friends in Porterdale and deserves
much praise. His work is in behalf
of his fellowman. His friendship,
sunny disposition and desire to
be cooperative help to give his
record top recognition. A little
car belonging to this person can
go speeding down and twist or
turn at a moment’s notice.
What’s his name?
Her hobby is staritng the ball m
roll for high school boys. She nev
er fails to be the first to volun
teer her aid in any social affair
and always turns out the best
materials. Her connection with the
school shows her patience. She
carries her work on in all the girls’
and boys’ clubs of Porterdale and
gives her best wishes and encour
aging words to any worthy cause
in our city.
Now, what’s her name?
School athletics claim more of
his time than any other of the
courses in school work. Although
I’m sure his willingness goes far.
He recently remarked this being
his fourth year teaching he
guessed it was his lifes work. He
contiols his temper remarkably
well. He’s lot of fun if the joke is
funny. His understanding goes far
and he's good on shoes, taking into
consideration his trips to the gym.
I bet you know what’s his name.
He’s the most important
around Porterdale. His hobby is
his girl’s welfare. His aim is to
please people of Porterdale and
his chief pastime is golf. When
some organization needs financial
aid be is a friend indeed. The G.
R.’s take a lot of his considera
tion and he takes them up on a
iot of things.
He’s a good orator! Now what’s
his name?
She’s a very able business wo
man in our city with many friends j
in and around Porterdaie. Recent
ly she did something that broad- j
ened her business and host
friends. Her neatness makes her
always alert, spic and span and
her smile is greeting enough. Shr
seems right on top all the time.
She also is a sort of prop for the
many clubs in our city. Just be
walking her way and she’ll
you a lift. You know her.
her name?

Studies Important !
By Inez McCart
During the second semester the
tenth S rade English class has de
voted muclh time to ™caiton stud
ies - Ir » doing thi * each P u P d has
had the opportunity to express his
opinion on the vocation that he or
she would like to follow.
It has been great fun and our 1
instructor, Miss Elder, has done j
some splendid work in helping
each of us to better understand
the vocation that we have chosen
and I feel that we have all been
greatly benefited.
I would like to now tell you
about the boys and girls who plan
to be aviators.
First, I would like to mention
Miss Glenn, who is resigning her
position with the Bibb. She has as
her greatest desire to learn to fly
Miss Glenn is planning to do grad
ua te work at Mercer next year
an d take a C. A. A. course in
av iation.
Her desire to learn to fly is not
j or a . careerj hut Miss Glenn says
lhat she jugt ]ove sthe air and in
tends to learn to fly, merely for
pleasure . .‘ Much luck to you,” is
QUr wigh for Migs Glenn
Now T to , get ...... back to the students. . , .
There in aviatl0 M "- bu ‘ ^busiasm tbe m09t e " sbown thus ’
ia ' tIC 19 Carter ’ one of our
s maltesl 8 u den t s -
Hoy says that he has always
wanted to fly and he doe- not
{end He To plan that to he do feels anything that else, of
says one
the greatest frontiers a present is
in aviation, and he intends to help
cover that frontier.
Upon finishing high school work
in 1941, Roy plans to join the
United States Army, where he will
be able to secure training free.
After finishing four years Army
training, he wants to fly a trans
port plane.
Roy believes that there will be
a great reward in store for him
when he has mastered his profes
sion. We extend to him our best
wishes.
Since there is no Army for girls
Hazel Rollins informs me that she
will have to secure her training
Atlanta, Georgia,
1 She plans four years’ study and
■ estimates the cost at about
thousand dollars.
j Hazel doesn't mind that so much
she says, because she feels that
she will be fully rewarded when
she secures her license to fly. She
feels that the greatest opportunity
for a woman’s fame is through
aviation and'we sincerely hope
that Hazel’s desire for fame will
i be fulfilled.
The Subject I Like
Rest in High School
By Dorothy Hancock, 8th Grade
I don’t know which subject I
lor 660 dViCS and h ° me }
I like civics because it just tells j |
you all about what me world does
as it goes around. It tells us
about things which we
know. We should know about our j
government and its movements,
We should know about our com-'
and our schools. We should
know how to help prevent and to 1
understand crime. Civics gives you
ideas and facts about your com
munity and around your home.
The reason I like home econom
ics is that I like to cook and sew.
We have made aprons and grown;'
this year in the eighth grade home
ec class. We have cooked all kinds
of breakfasts, dinners and lunch
eons. We plan to have a picnic
Wednesday afternoon after school.
We plan to wear slacks and shorts.
We have invited Miss Helen Glenn
to go with us. We all like her,
I can’t make up my mind ex
actly like I want it. I like one
best then the other. I love my
teachers, every one of them.
It is almost time for school to
be out. We will have to part from
our friends for three long months.
Some are glad that school is out,
but I am not. I like school, I like
my lessons and my teachers.
Sometimes we get downhearted
and out of heart but when we
come to thiqk of it and get down
to the point of it ail we must un
derstand that it is a privilege to
get an education, not a duty. We
are getting something our par
ents missed. Let us uphold old P.

j Poillld Party Given
Miss Mask Monday
Bv Gladys Daniel
! A pound party was given in
honor of Miss Eva Mask, a mem
ber of Porterdale school faculty
j and a Sreat advisor for the J. O.
Porter Girl Reserves. This party
was held at the home of Mrs. Jim
Cook on North Broad. It was held
at the regular meeting lime, 6:30
The girls opened the party by
singing some songs then had the
roll called.
Then they got down to the ser
ious part of the program where
Carter Moody played some selec
tions on his trombone. Then some
of the seniors gave a little play
let afterwards the program was
turned over to Miss Maud King,
who made a little talk on how we i
hated to see Miss Mask leave us.
Then she presented to Miss Mask j
the little gift we had prepared |
for her. The gift was a and very lovely j
one “A traveling kit” we hope
that she enjoys it as much as we |
enjoyed giving to her. Marion Fin
ley presented her with another
gift, a smalt locket.
Then delicious refreshments
were served and we were dis
missed,
