"gy
love Thy Neighbor'
By RAYMOND ELLIOTT
(Summerville School Staff)
Did you know approximately
three months of 1953 have pass
ed?
What have you done for your
self or for others? Have you tried
to be a good neighbor or friend
to others? If not, why not try to i
be one?
What about that New Year’s
resolution you made? You don’t
want to let this year go by and
let people still say the same
things about you—" What a
gripy neighbor she or he is.” Why
not try to make something out
of yourself? Why not try to do
something for someone else in
stead of always for yourself? Re
member what you do this year
for others may tell what others
will do for you in the future.
When a friend or neighbor
gets sick or some of their fam
ily dies, what do you do, sit
home and say to yourself, ‘‘Well,
they won’t miss me.” Did you
know that they would? In fact
they probably will have more to
say about you not coming, than
those who did. Put it this way,
when you get sick or someone
dies in your family, would you
want your neighbors to come see
you and be friendly, and try to
help out all the could? If your
answer is “Yes,” you sound nor
mal and the only way to make
sure they will is to be a good
neighbor. If your answer is
“No”, you had better check with
the psychiatrist. He probably
will be the only one who could
help you.
If you haven’t made your New
Year’s resolution it isn’t too late
to make a few. Let one of them
be. “Love thy neighbor as thy
self. (Luke 10:271.
YOUR SCHOOL
By JIM CULPEPPER
(Summerville School Staff)
You should be very proud of
your school, it isn’t everyone
that can go to school like some
of you. There is no doubt in mind
that every student of Summer
ville High would like to be a
good citizen when they get out
in life We sometimes ask our
selves how we can be better citi
zens and students.
There are many ways. One is
to give careful consideration to
the school officials. Don’t vote
for John just because he is your
best friend. Vote for someone you
think can really do the job well.
Make your vote count, and
above all vote. Every student
should exercise his or her right
to vote. A student who does not
take part in school affairs is not
worthy to be called a inember of
the class.
A good student should respect
the rights of others, for example
under-classmen should respect
the rights of the seniors. The
other students should not grum
ble. but should remember that
their time is coming,
The right to use the library
belong to everyone and should
be wellrespected. Any student
can read a book without writing
In it. tearing out the pages or
turning down the corners. When
this Is being done, the rights of
others are being destroyed.
A real citizen will have a lot
of pride in his school. He will do
everything he can to keep It
looking nice. Everyone stop and
think, is my name carved on any
of the desks? Do you carve on
your furniture at home? We are
at home while we are at school,
we should take as much pride In
It as we do at home. Hero Is a
thought for every student: What
kind of school would Summer
ville High be If every student was
like me?
In order to keep Summerville
High on top of the list of best
all-around schools, we must all

A HAPPY HOME
I
By Summerville School Staff
To have a happy home there
must be love. Love for one an
other, for each family member.
Companionship is another fac
tor you must consider.
Each family member must
share in household duties. There
must be a “give and take” sys
tem.
There must be courtesy and
respect for one another. These
little things mean a lot to every
one.
A Christian home paves the
way for family happiness.
So all in all there are several
factors that contribute to a
happy home, love, companion
ship, sharing, courtesy, respect
and Christianity.
’Your Personality'
By JIM CULPEPPER
(Summerville School Staff)
Your personality means more
to you than you think. It means
having friends and making more
friends. A person without a nice
personality is always left alone
while others who smile and have
a sense of humor always have
friends. You should always be
friendly to young and old alike.
You should never single out just
one certain person—be friendly
to everyone.
The way you dress has a lot to
do with your personality. You
shouldn't dress loud to try to at
tract attention, because you’ll
find yourself attracting the
wrong kind of attention.
When in conversation with
someone else you will find that
popularity is w'on by being a good
listener, and let the other per
son do most of the talking.
Good manners, which help
everyone, accompany a nice per-1
sonality. They help you to go
through life with less friction.
Being well-mannered takes
practice so that good manners
come naturally. By doing this
you won’t have to go through
life at the end of a string, show
ing manners only when someone
jerked it.
An old quotation: "Talent is
•something, but tact is every
thing." If you have tact, the
ability to say or do the right
thing at the right time, you are
fortunate. If you lack tact, you
may : y handicap |our-
self. Example: If you ask a tall
girl if she is still growing, or a
fat girl how much she weighs,
you are tactless.
Courtesy should be a natural
Impulse. A person wants to do
certain things that indicate
good manners because they want
to be courteous, respectful, and
thoughtful of others. When a boy
tips his hat to a girl he wishes
to show his respect toward her.
Oood manners come from within
and have as their foundation
good behavior, and good con
duct.
A good deed is never lost. He
who sows courtesy reaps friend
ship, and he who plants kindness
gathers love.
co-operate and work hard in
makin ourselves, do the things
that a good citizen of Summer
ville High would do.
We will carry the habits we
form in school all through life.
Let them be good ones.

Recreation Center
By RAYMOND ELLIOTT
(Summerville School Staff)
If you are a stranger visiting
in Summerville, and while walk
ing through the city, a question
comes to you mind, “Where are
all the young people?”
Your answer will be this. You
will find some of them In the
pool room or maybe some will
just be loafing on the streets.
This is certainly not the desir
able recreation for our youth.
What we need is a Recreation
Center. Here all the youth of the
city could meet together and
have plenty of nice, clean fun.
That is if we had one.
The kind of recreation the boys
and girls participate in today
will determine the kind of citi
zens they will make for Sum
merville in the future. If they
have had wholesome recreation
while in their youth, no doubt
that will be the kind of citizens
they will make.
Now to look on the other side.
What if they didn’t have the
right kind of recreation, you
know what kind of citizens they
will probably make. The only
way w'e will be able to have a
recreation center is for the clubs
and businessmen to cooperate
with each other and to raise a
great demand for one. If you
are interested, why not let it be
known? Being a teenager my
self, I know how the young peo
ple feel about it. How often has
the question come up “What can
we do?” and then this statement
follows ths question, "This is the
dullest town in Georgia." What
If we had a recreation center?
That would be the answer to our
problems.
The future of Summerville de
pends on the youth of todayl
What kind will it be? If we want
better, healthier, happier citi
zens. we had better start think
ing about it now.
TACT: IT'S WONDERFUL
By Summerville School Staff)
Don’t you admire someone who
always says and does the right
thing at the right time?
It all starts with good person
ality and character traits.
A perso who has tact will not
ask embarrassing questions or
say things that will embarrass
someone else.
For example: you are at a
party and someone spoils your
। best party dress by spilling
’ punch on It, you should just
| pretend to forget the incidents.
Assure the other person that no
, harm has been done.
If you have tact people will
like to be with you and admire
you very much.

Chattooga County
Health Department
By Summerville School Staff
The Chattooga County Health
Department has a personnel of
four. These are Miss Wilma Pace
and Mrs. Anna Doherty, both
well - trained public health
nurses; Mrs. Brock Daniel, the
Clerk-Technician, and since
March Ist, Mr. Thomas Fox, full
time sanitarian.
The main object of the Public
Health Department is the con
trol of communicable diseases in
the county. An immunization
program for whooping cough,
diphtheria, smallpox, and ty
phoid goes on at all times, either
In the office or in the field, that
is the schools and homes. The
two public health nurses also
render a maternity service to
those wishing it.
Both the public health nurses
and sanitarian work in the
county schools, especially with
undernourished children, crip
pled children, and children with
other physical defects, such as
vision and hearing. To older
high school girls the nurses will
be glad to teach, and have
taught, courses in nutrition and
mother and baby-care.
The lunchrooms in the county
schools are either grade A or B,
as a result of the sanitation
and environmental program
throughout the county.
The sanitation program ex
tends to the inspection of dairy
farms, which assures us of pure,
safe, and wholesome mild sup
plies, to eating and drinking es
tablishments, which means safe
places to eat, and inspections of
public and private water sys-!
terns, and many other phases ofl
sanitation progress.
All food handlers and all
handlers of dairy products are
required to have a health card
issued by the County Health De
partment. This card Indicates
that the bearer has had a com
plete physical examination by a
physican, a chest X-ray. and a
blood-test. This way you are as
sured of healthier food and mild
products.
Chattooga’s Health Depart
ment is one of the few health
units that has an X-ray machine
in constant operation. Approxi
mately 150 14” by 17" films are
made monthly. These films can
be reviewed by family doctors
before being sent to Atlanta for
further interpretation.
Chattooga County Health De
partment operates under the
Ellis Health Law, which was
voted by persons of this county.
The Health Department is as
much a part of the county prog
ress as Its schools and roads.

that won’t leak, and it must have
chimneys that draw. There must
be a convenient pantry and a
pleasant kitchen with all ap
purtenances thereto.
And it contrast to the house
of newly built comfort’ and
beauty is the house of unneces
sary ugliness, darkness, excess of
bad ornamentation, hideosity of
inconvenience, are faults that
unresourceful people of moder
ate means accept with resigna
tion in the belief that only a
bottomless purse would be able
to cope with them.
How many times does one hear
a discouraged voice say, “Ugly
old house, ugly old furniture
nothing can be done about it.
We can’t possibly afford to buy
all new!”
The unknowing person will
rent a house that is hopelessly
bad but in better apparent re
pair than another of lower rent
could with the difference saved
in rent be put in equal repair
and made, moreover, into a
house of beauty.
