It Isn’t A Peachy” Situation
by Cindy Vernon
Day by day, our lives are changed by the happenings around
us. Many of us do not notice the many changes that have taken
place.
The resignation of the vice-president, Spiro Agnew, and the
talk of impeachment of the president, Richard Nixon, are events
that have had not only a very vivid effect on parents, but also on
the youth of America. Tomorrow, the youth of today, will be
running the government. The future leaders will be faced with
helping the government to stabilize following all the political
scandals.
What is happening in the government today is making history.
The nation has only seen one impeachment case. President
Andrew Johnson was tried in March 5, 1868, but never convicted.
That has been almost a century ago, hopefully this century will
not see an impeachment case. Our president, Richard M. Nixon,
has caused quite an uproar in Congress, and the House of
Representatives has started a preliminary impeachment inquiry.
In governments past, only one other vice-president has re
signed John C. Calhoun from South Carolina resigned from
office of vice-president in 1932.
Everyone seems to be blind to the fact that we just can’t stand
by and watch all these things happen. If tomorrow is to belong to
the youth, then why can’t we start today to make it better?
Beware Seniors
Numerous schools supply
excellent educational instruc
tion for good careers; however,
others give improper training.
These schools have only their
own interest in mind, not your
personal education. To make
sure that the school of your
choice is a good decision,
check it.
Do not make a deposit or
sign a contract of any nature to
any technical school, business
school, training school or col
lege until you check its creden
tials thoroughly. Take the
following procedures before
you make any commitments.
I). Check employers.
Check to see if you will
meet qualifications for the job.
The employer may train you
for the job with little or no
cost and train you more for his
type of job.
2). Check with labor union
or professional associations.
3) Check State or Federal
licensing agencies.
4). Check facilities in your
own community.
5). Check your counselor or
principal.
6). Check with graduates.
7). Check with the Better
Business Bureau.

to the Trappist Monastery lo
cated in Conyers, Ga.
When they reached the
monastery at 11 a.m. the stu

balcony to see the Monk’s
Chapel. When they left the
chapel the girls were taken to a
room and shown films of the
monastery because they were
not allowed inside the main
building.
The boys were taken on a
tour of the main part of the
monastery which took 20 years
to build. The walls of the
building were 22 inches thick
and were very modern. The
building was built for 200 men
and 55 are now living in it. The

you did not attend this dance
then you really missed out on
something. The dance as well
as the band was a big success.
The dance got underway
shortly after the bailgame with
the band's introduction to
"Smoke On Water " Everyone
was eager to shake, rattle and
roll as Ampheous kept on
pouring out sensational rhythm
and lyricks to some of today’s
pop chart songs.
Excitement mounted and
everyone let his hair down and
got into the heavy numbers
they were doing Before long
the whole lunchroom was
shaking with music vibrating

really got steamed up. But as
the old saying goes, "all good
things must come to an end."

After the boys had toured
the building and the girls were
finished being shown films,
they ate lunch on one of the

... to “Kell’’ on
receiving a call
I once knew a guy whose
name was Saul and as I recall,
he was very tall. One day while
Saul was knitting a shawl, he
received a call from Jimmy
Paul. Man you’ve got gaul, to
give me a call, what are you
tryin’ to do start a brawl?!
“Not at all,” said Paul, “I’m
havin’ a ball and I thought I’d
call and invite all yawl! I’m
havin’ my ball in the early fall
at the North Gate Mall, in the
dining hall. Can I count on
yawl? Don't give me a stall!
But Saul just returned to knit
ting his shawl ignoring his call.

She tells him it will not. “You

Large Crowd
A large crowd was on hand

The Chattooga Indians

victory over the North Whit

The Indians had a big let
down as the Chattooga offense
just could not get rolling. Chat

thinking that North Whitfield
was a pushover. North Whit

wrong.
Chattooga scored first when
James Lester took the pigskin
for 46 yards and a Chattooga
touchdown. The extra point
was good and Chattooga led
7-0. North Whitfield fought
back and finally got on the
scoreboard late in the third

Later in the fourth quarter

Review
By Paula Smith
Television has done it again
this week. It has come up with
some more concerts and inter
esting educational programs
that stand out this week.
On Thursday, Nov. 1, at
8:00 p.m. on channel 8,
appears a special program,
“Law and Order.” The streets
of Kansas City are the setting
for this penetrating look at a
major metropolitan police
force in action. Frederick Wise
man’s documentary surveys the
wide range of situations that
confronts the cop on the beat
and in the squad car. Incidents
convered range from lost-car
cases to grand larceny, from
domestic disputes to sexual
assault. Police violence is seen
as part of the job, sometimes
justifiable, sometimes not. At
least partially balancing the
scale is the degree of provoca
tion policemen are forced to
endure. This program lasts
approximately 90 minutes and
should prove to be very inter
esting and informing.
On the same night, at 9:30
p.m., also on channel 8, the
show, “Woman” makes its first
television debut. Former alco
holics discuss their bouts with
the bottle in “The Alcoholic
Woman.” They explain how
their drinking problem started,
the effects on their family rela
tionships and the work of
Alcoholics Anonymous in
rehabilitating them. This talk
show will be well worth watch
ing and should be an expe
rience to remember.
Friday night, Nov. 2, at
12 00. Superstars of Rock
presents Seals and Crofts, T.
Rex, Lighthouse. Johnny Nash
and the Hollies highlight the
show. A few of the songs
include “Sunny Days," and
“Summer Breeze.”
As the night rolls on “Mid
night Special” hits the TV
screen with rock and roll from
Chuck Berry as host. Other
rock groups to appear will be
the Edgar Winter Group and
Fleet wood Mac; blues from
Muddy Waters; soul from
Johnny Taylor; folk from
Shawn Phillips.
Some of the more popular
songs include, “Free Ride” and
“Rock-n-Roll Hootchie Koo"
by Edgar Winter. This show
lasts 90 minutes.
