The Home Nursing Course
The home nursing class com
posed of the junior and senior
Home Ec students held their first
meeting Tuesday, Oct. 26, 1943. It
was held at the First Methodist
church in Summerville, Ga. The
meeting was called to order by Mrs.
H. L. McGinnis, who introduced
Miss Sarah Lee Coleman, who is to
teach the class. We elected Hazel
Hughes president and Ella Jean
Gilreath secretary.
The class will meet every Tues
day and Friday. We students are
very fortunate in having Miss Cole
man and Mrs. McGinnis to teach
us this valuable information about
nursing.

“In short, the first duty of a man
is to speak; that is his chief busi
ness in this world and talk, which
is the harmonious speech of two or
more, is by far the most accessible
of pleasures.”—Robert Louis Stev
enson.
We think this quotation aptly de
scribes Natalie Manning, because
she always remembers to keep her
voice at the right pitch. If you will
continue to keep your controlled
temper and sweet disposition, suc
cess will surely be yours.

This week we salute Billy Early.
Billy plans to go into the army aft
er he graduates Christmas. One of
his most outstanding qualities is a
good disposition. Because of this,
he is one of the most popular mem
bers of the senior class. Billy is
employed at the present by the
Home Store. We know he will be
successful in the Army, but here’s
wishing him luck wherever he is.

The Literary Society Debate
Last Wednesday the Henry W.
Grady and the Sidney Lanier so
cieties met in the gym to debate
on the following question:
“Resolved, that the pen is strong
er than the sword.” The Henry W.
Grady on the negative side and the
Sidney Laniers contended for the
pen. The negative side won. The
Sidney Laniers were very good
sports. They cheered the Henry
W. Gradys. We appreciated the
sportsmanship of the losing side.

the debate:
Henry W. Grady—Catharan King,
Kathryn Echols, Geraldine Wells
and Charles Wright; Sidney Danier.
June Hays, Betty Cash, Hazel
Hughes and Bill Hudson. The fol

War Bonds and Scrap Drive
The high school and grammar
school have come together in help
ing with the bond, stamp and scrap
drive that is already on. The gram
mar. school is against the high
school to see which one can get the
most scfap and sell the most bonds
and stamps. The two literary so
cieties, the Henry W. Grady and the
Sidney Lanier, are working against
each other to’ promote this cam
paign.

Pennville Homecoming Day
One year ago, Nov. 7, we cele
brated our first homecoming at the
Pennville Gospel Tabernacle. This
year the members of this church
met again to celebrate the anni
versary of the founding of the
Pennville church. The church was
decorated with purple and yellow
chrysanthemums. The speakers
were Rev. Crow, the pastor, and
Rev. Dack Crow, of Mentone, Ala.
The special singers were the Teague
sisters, the Mountain View quartet,
the Summerville quartet, the Wel
come Hill and the Cochran quartet.
Everyone brought dinner and since
it was raining they had to spread
dinner inside the building. Services
were dismissed at 3 o’clock because
of the inclement weather.
