David Hurley, a senior at
Westfield School, takes every
opportunity to escape to
seaside, spending summers in
Florida working at a marina.
The multi-talented young man
is spending this fall with a
Minolta 35 mm camera,
serving as photographer of the
Westfield Hornets grid team
for the Home Journal.
David is the son of Mr. and
Mrs. Edward T. Hurley of 602
Frank Satterfield Road. The
Hurleys moved to Perry seven
years ago from Richmond,
Virginia. Ed Hurley is em
ployed by a local paving
construction company. The
family attends church at St.
Patrick's Catholic Church.
David is among the very top
percentage of his senior class,
carrying an “A" average, and
being a member of the
Westfield Beta Club. He says
that his favorite class is
English (taught by Mrs.
Florence Harrison).
David is quite an ac
complished tennis player. In
spile of the fact that Westfield
did not have a tennis team as
such, David won the Region 2-
AA singles crown. He lost in
the opening round of the state
SEAIS tennis tournament,
mainly because of his lack of
practice. The slender, blond
haired youngster expects to
represent the Hornets again
this coming spring in the
sport.
Hurley is also a member of
the Westfield Key Club.
In addition to tennis, David
was a member of the Region 2-
AA champs Westfield Hornets
basketball team, playing a
guard. His number (11) will
probably see a great deal of
action this winter, especially
since David possesses a
deadly outside shot. He has
played basketball in the ninth,
tenth, and eleventh grades.
Several weeks ago The
Home Journal was searching
for a photographer to replace
The Houston Home Journal -——r—

It is beginning to be too cool
for the little ones to play
outside as much as they like
and by now their mothers are
about to run out of ideas to
keep them busy while their
older siblings are at school.
Books with lots of pictures and
sentence type stories could be
your answer. Children love to
look at bright pictures and if
the stories are real short it
doesn’t take them long to
learn to “read” to themselves.
THE BEST WORD PIC
TURE BOOK, by Richard
Scarry, is one of the best
children’s books I’ve ever
seen. Each page has dozens of
pictures on it with the name of
the object directly under it.
The pictures are very bright
and cute and will hold their
interest as well as teach them
new words. I tested this book
on my little friends Joey and
Sabrina and they were both
delighted with it.
“THE GIANT NURSERY
BOOK OF THINGS THAT GO,
by George J. Zaffo, is another
good one. It is filled with
pictures of fire engines,
trucks, boats, trains and
airplanes. Large print sen
tences tell what each vehicle
is doing in “little people”
language.
THIS IS THE HOUSE
WHERE JACK LIVES, by
Joan Heilbroner, is for the
older child who may be trying
to spell words or attempting to
Serviceman
Airman James E. Patat, son
of iMrs, Sarah G. Wright of 108
Evelyn Drive, Centerville,
Ga., has completed Air Force
basic training at Lackland
AFB, Tex.
During his six weeks
training, he studied the Air
Force mission, organization
and customs and received
special instruction in human
relations.
The airman is remaining at
the Air Training Command
base for specialized training
in the security police field.
Airman Fatal is a 1974
graduate of Northside High
School, Warner Robins, Ga.
Gary Gilbert, who graduated
and is now in college. Just one
week before the season began,
David volunteered to give it a
try. Alter a week’s ex
perimentation, and a little
coaching by HHJ Sports
Editor Phil Byrd, David
proved to be a “natural”. He
has bought himself a new
Minolta, and his interest is
“zooming".
(By the way, photographing
football games takes a par
ticular knack. The
cameraman must be able to
“sense” plays and must know
what constitutes a good pic
ture. Since David is
knowledgeable about the
pigskin sport, he quickly
grasped Byrd’s instructions.
So once again the HHJ offers
top-notch sports photos.)
David’s love of the water is
burgeoning. In fact he fondly
envisions a career connected
with maritime. He swims,
waterskis, and can handle a
sailboat. But he realizes that
sea careers are somewhat
limited, so will probably seek
another vocation.
A few days ago, Hurley was
informed that he had been
selected to appear in the
Eighth Annual Edition of
Who’s Who Among American
High School Students, 1973-74,
Less than three percent of the
junior and senior classes
nationwide are awarded this
recognition.
In some ways, David Hurley
is typical of today’s teenager -
talented in many different
areas. But he is intelligent
enough to direct his future,
and will make his mark on the
world.
read short sentences. The
singsong rhythm of the story
makes it a great favorite with
youngsters.
IN THE PARK, by Esther
Hautzig. is about the most
unusual children’s book I ever
read. It is about a visit to a
park in Moscow, Paris,
Madrid, and New York. Each
page is divided into four
sections, one for each country,
and has one word about the
park written in each language.
For instance, trees in New
York is arbres in Paris or
arboles in Madrid or
d’yehr’yehv’yah in Moscow.
This is for a precocious child
or a very patient mother.
