an overall average of ninety or '
above for three previous seme- i
sters. Committees were ap-1
pointed for school projects, |
initiation of new members, and I
parties for the coming year.
Mason Stephenson and Diane |

ties to represent the club. The I
club hopes soon to get underl
way with its projects and acti- ;
vities.
KEY CLUB
On September 29th, the
Newton County High School
Key Club was host to the Di
vision 12 Training Conference
held at Newton County High
I School. Officers and committee
| chairmen of the other clubs in
the division assembled for an
afternoon of training and
fellowship. Bob Travis of the
Newton club is Leiutenant-
Governor of Division 12 and
was in charge of the program.
Local club officers led the
classes and discussion group.
At its regular meeting on
September 18th, the Newton
County Key Club selected
Terry Smith and Kathy Hardy
as club beauties.
FUTURE NURSES
Two important topics of the
Future Nurses Club was the
discussion of Candy Stripers
and election of the Beauties for
the coming year.
The question, Would you like
to be a Candy Striper?, was
1 brought to discussion by the
new President, Lynda Satter-
I field. A Candy Striper is a
I young girl who does volunteer
work at the hospital and has
little stripes on her cap. She
receives real good experience
! for her future career in nurs
ing. Each girl liked the idea
and consented to being one if
j they had the chance.
The next item on the list to
give consideration and careful
I thought to was the beauties to
represent the club. Nominations
were made and the final beau
! ties were selected. They are,
Lynda Satterfield and Bobby
McGauhey.
The club then made plans for
a very prosperous and bright
year. The meeting was then
adjourned.

held each year for all freshmen and sophomores.
Ann McKay, Vice-president
of the Student Body and over

from 8:00 to 11:30.
For atmosphere, all Junior
and Senior Council members
will come dressed in true
Western fashion. To complete
the show, a King and Queen of

Chapel Program
Students of Newton County
. High School were in for an ex
traordinary surprise Friday
morning, September twenty
seventh. John Knight, a 1958
graduate of our “grand old
school” presented a series of
folk songs that are typical of
our American heritage.
John opened his program
with “This Land is Your Land”
and sang other favorites such
as “Green Fields”, "Razor
back Steak”, and “Ye Yankees
and Ye Rebels”. His guitar ac
companiment highlighted the
event, creating an atmosphere
of calmness and great expecta
tion.
One reason the Students en
joyed John’s program so much
is that he was born and reared
in Newton County. A student
of Newton High for four years,
he and his two sisters wrote
our school song, “She’s a Grand
Old School.”

Student Council urges all
freshmen and sophomores and
their dates to come out and
have a “real big time.”
The third school citizen
elected by the Council on Sept
ember 21 is Allen Barnett. The
Student Council would like to
take this opportunity to thank
Allen for the service he renders
to our school. Whenever there
is a need for the P. A. system.
Allen is always willing to offer
his talents in the field of elect
ronics. Besides this vital ser
vice to our school, Allen is also

equipped to learn. Parents can
have a great part in seeing that
their child leaves home pre
, pared to do his best.
A child’s feelings about
school, his physical condition
and his social behavior are very
important to school success.
The tempo of misery or happi
ness at home can cause the
child to fail or be successful in
school. Home worries can pre
vent concentration on school
work.
Attitudes about education
begin at an early age. From
attitudes at home, he gets much
of his ambitions for the future.
Several years before he starts
to school he is either dreading
or looking forward to school.
It helps if conversation can be
centered around the enjoyable
things he will learn at school.
The home lays the foundation
for school success.
The school beginner needs to
make a visit to the school he
will attend before school starts.
It helps if he can learn his way
around, meet his teacher and
the other pupils and get an idea
of things he will enjoy. It is a
long step from mother’s knee to
a consolidated school. His first
experience can influence his
attitude about his future educa
tion.
Careful consideration needs
to be given to the child's per
sonality. Some children are un
duly shy due to a feeling of
fear or inadequacy. Special at
tention is needed to help them
succeed. Deserved praise will
help build self-confidence.
Children learn at different
rates and have different abili
ties. They should be helped to
learn at their own speed and
learning should be keyed to
their individual talents. Push
ing a child to learn and com
paring him with others only
confuses the child and causes
him to dislike school.
Provisions at home can be
conducive to learning. Parents
can make a plan for children
to discuss their concerns with
them for greater understanding.
Time and a quiet, comfortable
place need to be provided for
study. A schedule of other acti
vities helps a child to be more
successful.
It helps a child to help him

LOTS OF FALLING
STARS TO CATCH
METEORITES as big as 60
tons are among the approxi
mately 560 which hit the earth
each year, says Dr. Harrison
Brown of the California In
stitute of Technology, but most
are too small to do any dam
age. Only about 10 per year
are ever found. The rest pre
sumably land in oceans and
uninhabited places. These “fall
ing Stars” come from belts of
asteroids from pebble size to
480 miles in diameter that or
bit between Mars and Jupiter.
Collisions among them cause
fragments to shoot out and
enter earth’s atmosphere at
speeds of 360 to 650 miles per
hour. The ones that burn up
before reaching the earth are
called meteors; the ones that
get here are called meteorites.
AN ADEQUATE school sci
ence program, says the Na
tional Science Teachers Asso
ciation, must start in kinder
garten or first grade, must be
made cohesive from one level
to the next through grade 12
or beyond, must encompass a
full range of contemporary
knowledge and ideas, and
“must result in understanding
of the nature of scientific en
terprise through a direct in
volvement in the process of
scientific inquiry”. . . . WELD

business in the U. S., will dou

Haines, chairman of Chemet
ron Corporation, Chicago.
Welding has become one of the
“hottest” things in metalwork
ing as new techniques such as
gas-shielded arc welding and
fully automatic processes make
it increasingly useful in many
phases of industry.

You may be hearing some
thing of NDEA (title 3) in the
next few days or weeks. The
National Defense Education
Act was set up in 1958 as a
financial aid to schools. It pro
vides that the Federal govern
ment will match any amount
provided by the county for the
purchase of instructional
material in the fields of science,
mathematics, or foreign langu
age. Our County Board of Edu
cation has agreed to match
whatever we, as a school, can
provide. In the past few years
various civics clubs have made
contributions to the school; the
county has matched these
amounts; the Federal Govern
ment has matched the sum,
giving the school four times the
amount of the original contri
bution. Much valuable material
has been made available to our
science lab, and we are very
grateful for the support of our
adult friends in the county.
Now, we understand that this
good thing will come to an end
this year. Therefore, we want
to take full advantage of the
opportunity. Student Council
members have been asked to
contact the various civic clubs
times that outside. Instead of

containing more than 80 per
