Newton Art Club

the members have worked very
hard to organize this club.
Its membership is open to all
students of Newton County High
School, who are Interested In
art. You do not need to be
especially talented to join, all
you need Is an interest In art.
The club members are planning
to enter their work In the county
fair. They also plan to have
several art exhibits at the high
school and other places around
the county.
Some people who have shown
an Interest in the Art Club are as

High School.
learn to accept responsibility
and to perform Individual duties.
This organization is good for
teen-agers because it keeps them
so busy In their music and school
work, they stay out of trouble.
Many band members who haven’t
the opportunity to attend any
other school than ours have re
ceived music scholarships.
I have watched them get up
at 6:00 A. M. and march to
11:30 A. M. everyday for a month
before school. I have seen hours
of drilling for perfection and
miles of marching at the Cherry
Blossom Festival. All this is
done for the public’s entertain
ment. The band needs support,
and I hope you will help them.
If you lived with them, watched
them, and worked with them as
closely as I have done, you would
realize and appreciate what a
magnificent band Newton County
has.

New Boy Scout Handbook Is
Available To Scouters Here
Scout Executive Dick Walters
of the Newton-Rockdale District,
Boy Scouts of America, has re
ceived an advance copy of the new
seventh edition of the Boy Scout
Handbook which the movement is
THE COVINGTON NEWS
publishing on September 15.
“A new colorful cover for the
Boy Scout Handbook,” said Mr.
Walters, “gives the flavor of
Scouting and shows the intent of
the movement to serve all boys
whatever their race or religion.”
The Boy Scout Handbook, he ad
ded, is undoubtedly the single
book with the largest circulation
of any book produced for young
people anywhere in the world.
The initial print order of the
new edition is 750,000 copies, one
of the largest book orders in
printing history. With this new
edition the Boy Scout Handbook
attains a total printing since 1910
of 21,175,000 copies.
The Boy Scout Handbook has in
troduced millions of boys to their
first knowledge of nature lore,
first aid, proper respect for the
flag of the United States, and a
wide range of know-how supple
menting school courses.
It provides information which
helps a boy prepare himself for
advancement through the basic
Boy Scout ranks. It helps a boy
develop from a good hiker to a
good camper. It also serves as a
guidebook for the adult volunteer
leaders in the Boy Scout program.
The role of the Boy Scout Hand
book in helping boys “become
good Scouts and good American
citizens” is seen in the foreword
by Joseph A. Brunton, Jr., the

Georgia Is Ready For
A Record Enrollment
ATHENS, Ga.—Not long ago
workmen removed an old, unused
vault from the reglstrat’s office
in historic Academic Building on
the campus of the University
of Georgia.
If you must pick a point to
begin a story of how things are
at the oldest chartered state
university in the fall of 1965,
this will do. Once the keeping
place for student records, the
vault had long been displaced by
the technology of microfilm and
electronic data storage.
For it would take a vault of
very great size to hold the re
cords of the almost 12,000
students who have already begun
to arrive in Athens.
The football players are al
ready here. Next will come
student leaders and freshman
campers—l4o future student
leaders—and by Sept. 19, that
handful of people who say, with
out really meaning It, that “it’s
so nice when the students are
all away,” will join In welcoming
the largest group of students
ever assembledona college cam
pus in Georgia.
The University and Athens will
be ready.
The last minute activity, as
well as that which has been under
way for a long time, is very
much in evidence. They’re
cutting grass, cleaning the win
dows, and repairing the parking
lots.
At the housing office room
assignments are being given a
final check, and outside the of
fice are mimeographed lists of
“housing in town” for married
students unable to find space in
the University’s new student vil
lage.
Several new private apartment
complexes are being rushed to
completion, and Oglethorpe
House, a private residence for
men, is scheduled for occupancy.
Athen’s most noticeable con
tribution to school’s opening will
be a complete resurfacing of
Lumpkin Street, the north-south
thoroughfare which, along with
two all-campus roads, must
carry people and cars in in
creasing numbers.
Under construction for the
future are residence halls for
2,000 students, as well as add
itional apartments in the student
village. Also going up are a
new law building and an agri
cultural engineering center.
On the drawing boards are the
new journalism - psychology
classroom building and the grad
uate studies center.
But the major job of getting
ready in the immediate sense is
shared by the registrar and st
udent affairs staffs. Together—
with extensive help from the fac
ulty—they must test and orient
and register the students.
The week of Sept. 19-25 will
be as busy and as Important,
perhaps, as any the new students
have ever spent. They will be
advised and photographed, enter
tained and introduced. They will
take physical fitness tests and
be given placement examinations.
For some, high scores on the
Chief Scout Executive of the Boy
Scouts of America, himself an
Eagle Scout.
“The Boy Scout Handbook has
always kept In step with the
changing times and with new de
velopments,” Mr. Brunton
writes. “The book you hold in
your hands this moment is the
very latest, updated versionofit,
designed specifically for the
American boy of today.”
The Chief Scout Executive
voiced the hope to the reader
that “for years to come this
book will be your companion as
you follow the rugged road of
Scouting.”
Read It well and often, he ur
ges, “because every time you do
you will find new paths to know
ledge, to fun, and to adventure.
It will help you in your outdoor
activities. It will show you what
you need to do to advance in
Scouting. It will tell you of the
Ideals of a Scout and will chal
lenge you to live up to the Scout
Oath and Law. It will help you
become a true American citi
zen.”
Mr. Brunton urges the Boy
Scout Handbook readers to share
it with their friends as they,
too, join the game of Scouting.
“Upon your shoulders and
those of young fellows like you,”
he writes, “as you grow into
manhood, will rest the hope of
the free world.
