the passing of Mrs. Mary Jay,
Girls Physical Education In

knew her best, said that her
role as instructor of girls was
not just a job, it attained the
proportions of a mission. Every
girl was an individual in her
classes, not ju^t another stu
dent. They say of her, “She
didn’t just teach us develop

her training included our minds
and morals. She wanted us to
be ladies’’. A faculty member

when she said, “The world is
a better place because she was
in it.”
A Quaker by faith, Mrs.
Jay’s high standards and quiet,
unassuming walk in life will
influence the future of hun
dreds of girls she taught, and
she will live on in her only
daughter, Jeanne Jay, who
graduates in June from Rich
mond Professional Institute.
Our deepest sympathy joins
that of hosts of other friends
to Eddie Najjar, in the loss of
his mother, Mrs. Mary Najjar
of Atlanta. We did not know
her intimately, but, her son’s
dedication and concern for
Newton High youth, whom he
counsels, reflect the training
of that mother. And, the ties
of family devotion which the
years have only strength re
flect the unselfishness, love,
laughter and loyalty that must
have reigned in that home un
der her influence.
Good wishes wend their way
to Newton County Hispital,
for the recovery of many rel
atives a^d friends, as well as
those from other sections. Our

We add our congratulations
to those of many friends, in

chants who go all out this
week in good wishes to Newton
High graduates, who will ex
perience life’s first major suc
cess, Monday night, when they
receive their diplomas, seals of
success for 12 years of study.
Orchids also go to teachers and
parents, who have praised,
scolded, cajoled, threatened,
punished, rewarded and en
couraged them on, every day
of those 12 years.
In this era which some have
termed “America's Twilight of
Honor’, because of corruption
in high places, and the depth
to which moral standards have
fallen, young people standing
THE COVINGTON NEWS
on the threshold of life, face
a confusing world.
As if in contradiction to all
the training of those who love
them most, they see dollars
and cents success attained by
oftimes unethical means; and
girls see popularity sought and
gained at any price. They see
a world which seems to have
forgotten that every individual
is a creature of God, created
with a destiny which no other
person can fulfill. It is a hard
world, but, not a lost
world —the choice is still the
individual’s. No one person can
save the world, but he can
make the little space he occu
pies worth saving. This is not
an easy challenge.
We have never felt wise
enough to offer advice; but we
like an old Chinese proverb,
"He finds easily that which he
searches for diligently” — in
plain English we find what we
seek.
And, the Ma.-der Teacher
gave us a formula for fulfill
ing our destinies, some 2,000
years ago, when He said, “Seek
ye first the Kingdom of God
and His Righteousness, and all
these things shall be added
unto you”. A big order? But,
there are those among the
Newton High Class of 1962
who will carry it out!
We shall follow our gradu
ates’ careers with pride and
prayer; and try to make our
own little corner a better place
in which to live, bv not neg

East Newton PTA
Entertains Its
Teacher of Year
The PTA of East Newton
Elementary School highlighted
its final meeting for the 1961-
62 term with an entertainment
for the teachers. Miss Fannie
E. Curry, Teacher of the Year
of the School 1961-62, was the
main speaker. She was very
affable and made a very inter
esting speech.
The Teachers’ Ensemble of
East Newton rendered beau
tiful music supported by Mrs.
S. N. Syphoe at the organ. Mrs.
Lavonia S. Strong, President
of the Band Booster Club of
R. L. Cousins School, gave a
beautiful Musical Selection.
Mrs. J. L. Clay, Newton County
Teacher of the Year, gave in
spiring remarks. Mrs. Clay
is a First Grade Teacher at
Washington Street School. Re
creational Activities were con
ducted by Mr. R. L. Clements,

her remarks.
The Refreshment Committee,
headed by Mrs. Anna Banks
prepared a most delectable re
past. She was assisted by Mes
dames Mattie L. Woods, Annie

Contemporary design places
great emphasis on sweeping,
lateral lines. According to the
Southern Pine Association, the
combination of horizontal wood
siding and a large roof over
hang enhances such effects.
Modern methods of produc
tion, harvesting, processing,
storage, and transportation now
provide farm - fresh foods at
all times.

Walton Sheriff C. J. Sorrells
Dies from Shotgun Blast
C. J. (Doc) Sorrells, Sheriff'
of Walton County for many
years, was fatally wounded
Sunday night by a shotgun
blast when he and a deputy
went to arrest a man accused
of wife-beating. Sheriff Sor
rells had many relatives and i
friends in Newton County. He
had been a law-enforcement
officer for a quarter of a cen- ;
tury.
The deputy, James Haralson,;
also was struck by a few pel
lets from the double-barrel
blast. X rays indicated wounds
above his right eye and in his
stomach but they were not be
lieved serious.
After receiving emergency
medical treatment. Deputy
Haralson returned to the scene
with reinforcements and help
ed take Malcolm Conner, 34,
who was accused of wife beat
ing, into custody.
“He (the sherif) took most
of the shotgun blast in the
middle of his body,” Deputy
Haralson said.
Sheriff Sorrells died about I
three hours after the shooting ।
at a hospital in Athens.
The arrested man, a garment!
factory employe living some I
seven miles southwest of Mon- |
roe near the Pleasant Valley |
Community, was taken to the j
jail at Athens. He faces a mur- i
der warrant, it was indicated.
Deputy Haralson said these |
events occurred before and as- i
ter the shooting:
Mrs. Conner took out a wife- i
beating warrant against her
husband and refused to return ;
home until he was arrested.
Sheriff Sorrells and his de- ।
puty drove to the Conner home |
late Sunday night to serve the ;
warrant. At first, no one an- I
swered their knocks on the
front and rear doors of the I
house.
Then, after Deputy Haralson |
had identified himself, Conner 1
called out, “Well, meet me at I
the front door.”
The deputy rejoined the j
sheriff at the front door and |
the arrested man said, “Well, i
Doc, you come after me.”
“Yes,” the sheriff replied, ’
“I’ve got a warrant. Come on.” i
“Well, I’m not going. If you j
get me you’ll have to come in !
and do it.”
