stead of the shy person saying
“I can’t,” It would be better to
say “I’ll try” or “I will.” Con

not acquired overnight, but must
be worked out with will power

The pros and cons of teen
age marriage, reasons for teen
agers marrying, the parents’role
in it were discussed. It was
agreed that some boys and girls
In their late teens might be ready
to cope with marriage, but In
the majority of cases, teen-agers
are not prepared for the respon
sibilities that necessarily follow.
The members were reminded
that one out of two teen-age mar
riages ends in divorce or sep
aration. They decided that a few
years of waiting is the best
assurance of a life-time of
married happiness.
Ardis Adams gave her devot

The meeting was adjourned
with the forming of a friendship

THE COVINGTON NEWS
The test, taken in November of
1966, was given by Sergeant See
ley, Air Force recruiter for New
ton County and surrounding area.
The senior class at Newton was
privileged to take the test, which
lasted about three hours.
The areas covered by the test
were: mechanical, administra
tive, general, and electronic ap
titudes. Mrs. D. C. Moore and
Mr^/Eddie Najjar, counselors at
N.C.H.S. were Instrumental in
Interpreting the test scores to the
seniors. A chart furnished by the
Air Force displayed side-by-side
the job opportunities and
positions available to students
with various scores on the test
in both the Air Force and civilian
life. An outstanding feature of
the Air Force Test was Its fa
cility In orienting the student
in the area of work that he is
most capable of doing. It was
emphasized by Sgt. Seeley that
the purpose of this test was not
to recruit students into the Armed
Forces, but to enlighten them
on the opportunities available in
the Air Force today.
Passing grades varied In each
testing area, but the minimum
was about forty in each field.
Boys, as a rule, do better in the
mechanical and electronic areas,
but fourteen girls at Newton had
very high passing scores in elec
tronics. The majority of the se
niors taking the test made high
enough to rate good jobs if they
did decide to join the Air Force.
It was learned through inside
forces that two boys at Newton
High made perfect scores in all
four areas. Their names are con
fidential pending further con
sideration by the Air Force. All
seniors tested, whether their
scores were low or high, now have
some idea about which area they
should direct their further study.
Fifth Grades
Sponsoring
‘Bring Back
The Bluebirds’
The fifth grades of E. L. Flc
quett School are sponsoring a
project “Bring Back The Blue
birds” in a county-wide under
taking of building and placing of
birdhouses.
The Flcquett grades give thr
ee reasons for the almost non
existence of the bluebird; (1)
the spraying of poisons to kill
insects, (2) cold winters in the
South and spring snowstorms in
the North, (3) lack of nesting
places. The lack of nesting
places is where the school pro
ject plans to help the birds here.
It is suggested that people
who love the bluebird, build and
place a birdhouse In their yard.
Place It rather low, six to 10
feet, on a spot in a rather open
place.
After you have completed your
birdhouse and put it up, please
call one of the members of the
Flcquett fifth grades. You may
notify any of the students listed
here; Jim Hardman, 786-6341;
Tommy Durand, 786-3845; Greg
Cowan, 786-2149; or Pam Budd,
786-8633.

Mrs. Callaway
Gamma Tri-Hi-Y
Speaker Feb. 15
What was the world of the
teenager like a few years ago?
What expressions and styles were
really in?
On February 15, Mrs. E. J.
Callaway, in a delightful, Infor
mal style, presented an enter
taining discussion of teenage life
to the Gamma Tri-Hi-Y of New
ton County High School. Her own
days as a teenager were com
pared to those of the teen today.
With a smile, she recollected
amusing and heartwarming ex
periences that seemed as if
they could apply to 1967’s teen
ager.
Kathy Dennis, chaplain, chal
lenged the club with the Ten
Commandments for Teenagers.
A warm “thank-you” was appre
ciated as Marcia Elizer read a
lovely note from our advisor,
Mrs. Sarah Prosser.
New projects for March were
discussed for the school and com
munity. The school project, in
troduced by Maridel Meyer, con
sisted of a club dedication to
World service. Carol Hood called
for volunteers to participate in
the community project promoting
good citizenship. Further sug
gestions for fund raising acti
vities were proposed and dis
cussed.
