Rehabilitation Has Failed
by Nansi Kellette
Our country today, has a crime rate which has steadily been
on the increase in the past few years. Could it possibly be our
crime prevention program? Let us compare our program to that
of Israel's who has a much lower crime rate. In America, there
have been no electrocutions in the past four years, the last being
in 1969. Instead of this, a life sentence is given and because of the
parole program, ten to fifteen years later, he is again out into our
society. An example of Israel's program is; when a person is
caught stealing, his hand is cut off. Barbarous as it may be to cut
off one's hand, you must look at the facts: Israel's crime rate is
much lower than ours.
A felony is a legal term used to distinguish the more atrocious
crimes from the lesser ones and a felon is the one who commits
the crime Ninety-five percent of all adult felons in America have
juvenile records and half the crimes committed are by young
people not old enough to vote. These are alarming facts and
thinking them over, I can come to only one conclusion: Whatever
we are doing in the area of prevention and rehabilitation has been
a dismal failure.
(dubs Start Siew Year
A club's first meeting of the year is usually packed. Why? It’s a
well known fact that the mere price of paying club dues can buy
your way into a picture in the annual as well as add another
activity in the senior directory. Everybody does it. By the last
meeting of the year, there are about 20 members present.
You've heard it before: “All you ever get out of a club, is what
you put in." If an annual picture’s all you want, it’s all you’ll get.
But an involved member can look back on an annual picture with
many memories of the good times that centered around that club
and its projects. Activities can mean the end of boredom and the
start of something great. If a club never does anything, you can
change it.
Get involved in activities in High School. And never again say,
“There'snothing to do around here."
Ceiling Destruction Should Stop
The destruction of our school's property is not a subject that
is unknown. The administration has recognized that the tearing of
the ceiling shingles has been rampant.
The cost of each shingle runs about $2.00 a piece. You count
just ten of these and you have twenty dollars. This money could
be spent on extra visual aid equipment, add library books or even
pencil sharpeners. Whatever else it would be spent for would be
for a better reason.
The punishment for the culprit should be, and probably will
tie, very harsh as this is a needless and costly crime. Students
seeing this act done should tell the administration or even a
Student Council member. Don't worry about being a stool
pigeon, because they are, in essence, taking money from your
pocket. Stop needless destruction, money waste and concentrate
m other matters.

Review
SHI LIVES'
Paul Neimark c. 1972
Sht lilts' Ihe title is so
catchy and blase that you can't
resist the temptation to buy a

about
This book is probably the
most shocking, ironic, and anti

read
With a touch of humor and
romance. Paul Neimark makes
you become so entranced with
the story that you can't seem
to pry yourself away
She Lut s is about two feen

rip off death Pam and Andy
live life with a passion that few
people ever experience
They decide that they are
immortal and death will never
visit them Then. Pam is struck
with cancer and has 15 months
to live. This book is a shocking
and sensitive account of how
they survive a sure death
sentence. It will stir even the
coldest heart
In my opinion. She Lives is
a very beautiful and moving
book and one that 1 would
recommend to anyone.

School Didn’t
End for
! Teachers
For some teachers, school
didn’t end in June. A number
of teachers went to various
workshops and colleges to
further their education. The
three teachers who completed
work on their masters’ are Mrs.
Louise Stewart, Mrs. Martha
i Price, and Mrs. Vertice Bolds.
[ All three attended West Geor
. gia College.
Mrs. Price is using a new
technique this year in her
classes. Her idea is the open
I classroom. The students are
free to learn to the extent of
what they want to learn.
Mrs. Bolds is going to stress
career development in her
> classroom and relate it to the
subject matter. Her classes will
probably be taking a few field
trips to various places.
Mr. Ford attended Jackson
ville State University. If he
should teach history this year
the courses he took can easily
be paralied with our own day.
The classes should prove to
be very interesting since the
teachers have furthered their
education for the benefit of
the students.
Sr Superlative
Elections Start
This Week
This year’s Senior Superla
tives will be elected differently.
Instead of a superlative being
elected everyday they will now
be elected every other day. In
doing this, the counting of the
votes will not be rushed.
The Superlatives to be
elected consist of Most At
tractive, Most Tallented,
Wit test, Most Courteous,
Friendliest, Most Dependable,
Most Likely to Succeed, Most
Athletic, Most School Spirited
and Best All-Around. The
elections will be held during
homeroom starting Wednesday,
Sept. 5.
Changes Brought
On at CHS
The cheerleaders would like
to bring on some changes here
at Chattooga High School. But,
this can’t be done with just the
cheerleaders alone, they have
to have the help of the entire
student body. Spirit plays an
important part in any high
school and the cheerleaders
especially want the spirit at
CHS to be the greatest this
year that it has ever been.
They would like to put on
skits at pep rallies, so if a
cheerleader were to come up to
you in the hall and ask you to
do something at the pep rally,
you had better not turn her
down, ’cause you’d be sur
prised at what these girls might
have in mind.
For this year, to be the
greatest, they plan to have
more bonfires, and a car smash
for the LaFayette game.
So, come on. let’s show a
little spirit this year The cheer
leaders do want to bring great
changes. If no one shows any
enthusiasm or spirit the cheer
leaders say that, because of
some of the student body, they
can’t give any more pep rallies.
So come on, let’s show every
one that “RED IS THE
BEST!!!!’’

The Spirits Are Coming
Spirit! What does this mean
to you, a student at C.H.S.? It
should mean pride, determina
tion, and never knowing
defeat. When a school has
spirit, a losing team can face
defeat with pride knowing
their true fans are still behind
them.
Indians spirit never dies!
This is something students
could truly say if they backed
their team in all they at
tempted to do. One way we
can show just how much spirit
we possess is by yelling at Pep
Rallies. Activity period on
Another Season Rolls
Around for Indians
Head football coach Buddy
Windle released some informa
tion to the Indian Lore on the
1973 CHS football team.
Windle stated that the three
main ingredients for a success
ful team were senior leader
ship, team togetherness and a
lot of hard work.
This year’s team has some
advantages and disadvantages
over last year’s team. Some
advantages are that more boys
are able to play the line and
backs are much stronger and
the returning boys are a lot
more mature. The dis
advantages are the size of the
offensive line and the kicking
game. The defense is one of the
main strengths of the Indians.
Treasure
Hunt at CHS
Can you find the hidden
treasure? Somewhere within
the walls of CHS there lies a
treasure of great value. Each
week a new clue will be given
as to the whereabouts of the
treasure. When you are sure
that you know exactly where
the treasure is hidden, contact
Ms. Payne, Jim Meredith, or
Vicki Cooper. A correct guess
will win a prize but be sure of
your guess, you only have one
shot at the treasure and no one
may win more than once. The
treasure will start out at 50c
and increase 50c every week.
THIS WEEK’S CLUE: The
treasure lies somewhere on “B”
hall.

| ing to the students of C.H.S.
This year the rallies are
going to be determined by just
how much spirit we have. If
nobody yells we will never
again meet together for the
purpose of yelling.
Everyone knows that C.H.S.
is the very best, let’s prove it!
He also stated that the
morale of the team depended
mainly on winning, but again
senior leadership was men
tioned.
The boys have worked hard
and are preparing for their
season opener with Pepperell
on Sept. 8.
From Mr.
Herring’s Desk
In a recent interview with
Mr. Herring, he stated that he
would like to commend the
students for the way they
handled themselves on entering
school, the way the upper
classmen treat the new stu
dents, and the students’ overall
behavior.
According to Mr. Herring,
there will not be any test
exemptions this year. It is left
up to the teachers to give or
not to give six weeks tests,
however, all teachers are re
quired to give twelve-weeks
tests, and all students are re
quired to take them.
An incentive program will
be used later on to encourage
students to attend school.
Mr. Herring feels that the
students and teachers should
have a closer relationship. Re
garding this, sometime in the
near future, each student, as he
enters the ninth grade, will be
assigned a teacher who will act
as his advisor throughout his
four years of high school.

Indians Set Season
Against Pepperell
The 1973 edition of the
Chattooga High Indians will
have a new and better look as
they take the field against the
Pepperell Dragons on Saturday,
Sept. 8. The Indians will be
wearing new uniforms, sporting
red pants and white jerseys.
Also something new to the
Indian team will be different
players at different positions.
At quarterback the Indians
will have either junior, Gary
Hardeman, or senior, Bobby
Strange. These boys have done
fine jobs in practice and should
prove to be strong at their posi
tion. At fullback, senior,
Charles Page, has taken com
mand. Page has improved in
speed and strength and should
excite the fans with some
razzle dazzle running. The run
ning backs, junior, James
Burse, and senior, James
Lester, will be alternating,
bringing in plays from the side
lines. The Indians’ offensive
line hasn’t any size or strength
Opinion Poll
Since the exemption pro
gram is no longer in effect
what would you suggest as an
attendance incentive program?
Mr. Marks—For persons
with perfect attendance, add to
their grade 10 points.
Lynn Tucker-Fire whoever
is against it!
Vickie Tallent-No opinion.
Susan Tucker-Start to
school somewhere else.
Billy Mosier—They ough t to
fire whoever is against it.
Susan Floyd-Let the
people who have perfect at
tendance do other things at
school besides taking tests.
Mr. Mosely—Perfect at
tendance should regard with
exemptions by the individual
teachers if the school is able to
provide a place and some form
of relaxation for those
exempted. This is to keep them
(students) in school and have
them enjoy their rewards at the
same time.
Mr. Willingham-I would
like to see the incentive pro
gram continued since we can
not leave the campus we
should be able to have a party
or something instead.

but determination should pull
the boys through. The Indians’
defense has proved to be one
of the strongest points. Players
like Greg London, Bo Barnes,
Glenn White, Charles Shrop
shire, Steve Bailey, Tommy
Brooks, Eddie Lively, Mike
Ledford, Clint McCary, Dana
Canterbury, and Gary Harde
man should plug some holes

Overall, the Indians are im
proved over last year. The
region is tough and the sched

and determination the Indians
should pull through with a win

I Was
Alone
I was alone, God
alone in black silence
that use to surround me
and lived inside me
I was alone
I hated the thick darkness
that swelled and swelled
inside of me
when I was alone
I was alone, God
I felt like a shriveled hand
clutching at the air,
like a tom arm
twisting in the sand
I sat and stewed
about my failures
I was choking, God
Choking in my own sour
thoughts
I kept drudging them from
the past
as though they were some
thing important.
They shriveled my brain
like clots of blood
I yelled inside my empty
cave,
and my answer was an echo,
an echo of cold words,
and cold pain.
My words had no meaning
and my mouth was dry
My cave was black, damp
and dark.
The sun was hollow
crawling around my empty
circle
like a dizzy crab
and the world was hollow
distant and cold
and hollow
All I asked was one person,
God
one ear that would not close
no matter what I said,
one hand that would not let
no one choke
or draw away,
one heart that would not
turn
me off
no matter how 1 acted
Thank you Lord
For giving me someone like
that
so I could stand in the dark
Thank you, Lord
For just that!
