U. Ga. To Conduct Freshman
Orientation During Summer
ATHENS, GA.—Orientation for
the University of Georgia’s 1966
freshman class will be conducted
during the summer, according to
Dr. George Parthemos, vice
president for Instruction.
The program, which will be In
stituted on a trial basis, will
bring freshman to the campus In
small groups for two or three
day periods throughout the sum
mer.
It was adopted in an effort to
give entering students more In
dividual attention than has been
possible In recent years because
of rapidly rising enrollments.
Previously University fresh
men have reported to the campus
a week in advance of the begin
ning of classes. Under the new
program their orientation and
much of registration, except for
payment of fees, will be com
pleted during the summer.

A Tribute to
Thanksgiving Day
As was done by the Pilgrims many years ago, we give thanks
for the many harvests with which God has made our lives so
abundant. It is fine and fitting that a plump, roasted tur
key . . symbol of Thanksgiving Day .. should grace our table
for all to enjoy. Yet it is fitting, too, that we should pause in
our Bountiful Feasting and really give Spiritual thanks to
Him who has made all these things possible. Let us be rev
erent .. as well as just humanly hungry .. this Thanksgiving.
Let's look beyond that table loaded with food . . and remem
ber our blessings in all humility!
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

Judy Moseley Is
'Citizen of Week’
Oftentimes we fall to recognize
those people who work behind
the scenes and make up the back
bone of our school. But last
Monday Student Council bestowed
the honor of School Citizen of
the Week on a senior girl who
has worked hard and willingly at
NCHS.
She is on the ad staff of the
RAM and as a member of the
Senior Trl-Hi-Y she has always
been ready to do her part. She
spends much of her time as a
member of the Blue Rambler
Band and when she Is not prac
ticing with the band, she can
usually be found in Mrs. Pope’s
room working hard for the FHA
of which she Is president.
This girl is Judy Moseley.
Also Judy has achieved another
distinction—that of not missing
a day of school from the first
grade on up. Congratulations to
Judy on being such a well de
serving School Citizen.

USDA School Lunches
Helped Cut Truance
A judge in a large midwestern
city says free lunches provided
under the U. S. Department of
Agriculture’s national school
lunch program have helped cut
truancy in some of his city’s
schools.
He said the 12 schools in his
city which needed free lunches
the most experienced a 6 per
cent decrease in truancy after
the school lunch program was
expanded by USDA’s Consumer
and Marketing Service.
