P. H. S. JUNIOR
ATTENDS SPELLING BEE
Still not quite having recovered
from the shock of winning the co
unty spelling contest, I started off
to Atlanta for the State Spelling i
Eee. Accompanied by Mr. Whiddon
and four F. F. A. boys, I arrived in
Atlanta at one-thirty. We toured :
the Southeastern Fair until three-!
o’clock, the time I was to spell. We
then went to the administration
building where Dr. M. D, Collins,
state school superintendent, was to
conduct the contest.
The contest, in which 60 people
competed, was divided into three
eliminations, and, oddly enough, I
survived all three. However, with
words such as papier-mache, pue
rile, brougham, geisha, braggadocio
and synecdoche, I wonder how it
happened.
After three hours of spelling the
contest finally ended with me ap
proximately in tenth place. So with
a little prize money and a terrific
headache, I left the stage, sincerely
hoping I would return in another
year.

JUNIOR CLASSES’
. PROGRAM PASSES
For sie second in a series of
Chapel orograms to be held each
Friday by different grades, the 11th
grade presented a mock talent show.
This forty minutes of gawks, grins,
giggles and guffaws began with an
audience participation in which the
grades sang against each other. The
ninth, tenth, eleventh and twelfth
tarnished gold voices of the twelfth
grade took high favor with their
rendition of “Little Brown Church
;n The Vale."
Then things really got under way,!
Joe Banana end His Bunch; Charles
Hill, Phillip Sledge, Allen Tabor,
and Jamees Fromme, led off with
I Blue Tail Fly" and “Swing Low
, Sweet Chariot.” Booker T. (Dan)
'Respess followed the example of
musical massacre on his trumpet
by giving us ‘Because’ and ‘The
Gypsy."
One of the highlights of the pro
| gram was Herschel Lawhorn and
Mary Chapman as “Ernest and Er
nestine Tubbs.” They sang “Slipp
ing Around”, creating such a sen
sation that the audience made a
long lasting attempt to encore them*
Ernestine’s union rules made it im
possible for her to slip around a
gdin.
Spike (Charles) Carter present
ed a short program of musical de
preciation, consisting of “You T/erd
Only Fooling” on the clarinet.
Jose (Charles) Hill presented his
act on the harmonica. His interpo
lation of “Woody iWoodpecker,”
“Old Black Joe,” and “St. Louis
Blues” sounded downright professi
onal—if there is any such thing as a
harmonica sounding professional.
'Little Phyllis (Phillip) Sledge
wowed the audience with her act.
She drew from her vast repetoire
of imitations the sound of one of
Copper Jones’ dogs, a Jackass —
which she claimed a member of
the Junior Class—and a cow. Ima
gine, she’s only seventeen!
The concluding act was Guy Lim
berber and his Lower Slobovians
with “the sweetest music this side of
Fort Valley.’’ Guy’s ofehestra was
composed of Philip Sledge playing
the snare drum; Jimmy Hammock
the bass drum; Dan Respess at the
tuba; Allen Tabor, trumpet; Char
les Carter, clarinet; and a little out
side help on the piano by Mrs. Kick
lighter. They played a march, “un
der the Double Eagle,” “I’ve Been
Working on the Railroad” and “The
Caissons Go Rolling Along.”
The applause metiers indicated
Ernest, and Ernestine Tubbs as the
winners.

RED CROSS HOSPITAL WORKERS
HELP SPEED PATIENT RECOVERY
The job of rebuilding sick bodies and
minds of servicemen in military hos
pitals and restoring them to useful life
is carried forward by a team—doctors,
nurses, and Red Cross workers. The
Red Cross worker may be a medical
or psychiatric social worker, a recrea
tion specialist, or a combination of
them assisted by a Gray Lady.
Military physicians and nurses find
that restoring the health of a sick man
requires much more than medicine and
food. The will to live and the will to
do things must be revived before medi
cal treatment can get in its beneficial
work. That’s where the Red Cross
enters the picture.
A young soldier, only 23, was In
jured in an accident at a munitions
proving ground. Half of his face and
neck were blown away. Painracked
and frightened, he had little taste for
ordinary hospital recreation. He loved
music, though, so the recreation work
er brought to his bedside a radio
phonograph and then, by mere chance,
found she could satisfy a greater long
ing. The boy revealed that he wanted
to write to his young wife those ten
der, personal things that he hesitated
to dictate.
Under federal statute and regu
lations of the Army, the Navy, and
the Air Force, the American Red
Cross furnishes volunteer aid to the
sick and wounded of the armed
forces and acts in matters of volun
tary relief and as a medium of com
munication between the people of
the United States and their armed
forces.

to tell his longings to his distant wife
It wasn’t easy because his injury had
damaged his vocal chords and articu
lation was difficult. But after patient
practice with tlj,e hospital worker L
finally poured out his heart to'the
record and sent it off to his wife.
To the arthritic, the tubercular the
rheumatic heart sufferer, doomed to
long periods of bed care, the recrea
tional services provided by Red Cross
ease their burden of restlessness and
discouragement. Nearby chapters
in cooperation with other local agen
cies bring into the hospitals young
people from the nearby communities
women who serve as hostesses for
parties, young people who dance and
play games, all reminding the sick
soldier that he is not forgotten hr
those he served.
