Loolk Toward The Future
What would vou like to see
happen in this new year? This
decade”?
Mrs. Frances Ellis,
English teacher at Chattooga
High School, asked her
students this question recent
ly. Many of them wished for
world wide peace, the release
of the hostages in llran,
brotherly love, a cure for infla
tion anJ lowering of gasoline
prices, -
Here are some of their com
ments:
“In 1980 1 would like to
see everyone in the world
agreeing with each other. This
would solve many of our na
tion's problems as well as
those of other countries. We
wouldn’t have to live from day
to day with the worry of a
nuclear war. The Iranian
situation wouldn't even exist.
Our gas prices could decrease
and we could again travel as
we want, 1 wuulglike to see in
flation stop rising. It would be
really nice if everyone in the
world was at peace with one
another.” — Karen Reynolds
“In 1980 | would like to
see world wide peace. Peace in
the world is a very important
thought for the Uniu-(FSLau's
right now. Iran is jeopardizing
that peace and there is no
need in it. People are selfish
and want to always be leading
someone. The extraction of
this would solve a lot of the
problems in the world."~
Celia Greene
“In 1980 | would like to
see the space program increas
ed in our international budget.
The Space Shuttle, wsmf in
1979, will be one of the advan
tages to exploration in space.
With our advanced
technology we could possibly
send men to Mars and-or
Venus, and also to increase
the under-sea exploration,
possibly to the extent of an
underworld city.” —~Mr. X
“In the year 1980 | would
like for a zswm. based on col
lege students or on one's
thinking of going to college
one day, form some type of
legal schooling in a summer
program, mwfivinu all of the
academic courses: math,
Enghsh and social science,
ete. The program could last all
summer, or for an additional
seven-10 weeks. Those who
enrolled wouldn't have so
much trouble with academic
subjects in college, and it
would help with better choices
for a career. Reason why | feel

this way is I think that the
class of ‘Bl will have a lot of
people graduating and wan
tini to prepare for college or
technician schools and/or
maybe for more knowledge in
the adult world."~ Bill
Adams
“1 would be the happiest
person in the world if mfiamm
would go down. The dollar has
dropped in value more than 50
percent since about 1969. You
can hardly buy a thing for a
dollar today. If the United
States (‘nul({get more oil some
way and stop spilling so much
of it in the ocean, gas might go
down. It could help everyone
if gas would go down, except
the people wfio sell it. With
the presidential election com
ing up in 1980. there probably
won't be anything done about
inflation until about
1981." — Ritchie Ludy
"I would like to see in 1980
the gas price go down, and 1
will tell you why. All these
people are making money off
the American people. I would
like to see the gas price go
back down, but this time use
our own gas and stop buyin
gas from other countries. ‘f
also hope that we have learned
to save our gas.”'— Raymond
Adams
“The year 1979 has been a
year of turmcil. Every time
you turn on the news you hear
about someone attacking so
meone else. A good example is
the situation in Iran. I would
like to see less violence bet
ween countries. | think that
the countries that are well off
should stop fussing and
figlhu'ngf‘ and work wfether to
help the poor unfortunate
countries that have hundreds
of people dying each day
because of starvation."—Lisa
Martin
“One of the major news
events that occurreti in 1979
was the falling of Skylab. The
multi-million dollar
outerspace laboratory finally
reached its end in J;{y. After
approximately six years of
service and knowledge
gaining ventures, the huge
craft finally catapulted to
Earth. This spnrkc-(rsom(' fear
and controversy about possi
ble death and damage from
the wreckage. Much precau
tion was taken to prevent any
destruction. Fortunately,
however, the wreckage fell in
the Indian Ocean and
uninhabited Australia.”
Jerry Reese

““As our nation urgentl
searches for the fuel of L{e
future, we must rely on the
energy that is available to us
now, mainly oil. Oil has gone
through many years of use
and is slowly becoming ex
tinct. Nuclear power, perhaps
all we have left to invest in, is
now under experimentation.
The Three-mile Island inci
dent has left the people of
America doubtful agt)ut this
atomic age. We should not
criticize the people who are
trying to benefit us with new
forms of energy. Rather, we
should encourage them. If
other ways are not found, we
will suffer, and probably
regret our revious
decisions.” — Lane gem.ell
“In the 1980's I would like
for all races of people to come
together and do away with all
types of prejudice. I would
like to see everyone eating
together without fightin
among themselves, | waulg
like to see everyone welcomed
in everyone's house regardless
of race, color, sex etc. If
everyone would show concern
and love toward each other,
the world would be a better
place to live. 1 would like to
see the entire world come
together and live as one big
happy family.” —Vincent
Martin
“In the year 1980 I would
like to see class distinction
abolished. If this is done,
many of the man-to-man
discrepancies will be wiped
out. Rames wouldn't carry
weight due to wealth, Most of
all money would lose its power
to buy people. If this were the
case, no one could say I'm bet
ter than you because you are
in the lower class! KJ() one
could get the 'cream of the
crop’ because their name is
that of a wealthy heritage.
Most important, money
wouldn’t ha\ie as much r:llean
ing to people in general.”’—
.lo‘im Hudgfns_ o
“In 1980 I would like to
see the United States
economy get better or at least
shnwin;; si,f\ns of improve
ment for the future. THE
EPA, which has forced hard
regulatqus on all the
Lranssort tion industries,
should stop enforcing harsh
regulations or at least slow
down. Gas should go down
and new means o% travel
should be found. I would also
like to see new forms of energy
being found." - Leslie Wyatt
"%)uring the 1980 year I
would like to see pmpf; who
quit school go back and try to
graduate. anre people nation
wide quit school to go to work
or oillwr they cannot do the
work expected to graduate.

Local Church’s
Night Revival
Starts Sunday
The Church of God of Pro-
Wecg. located at 610 W.
ashington St. in Summer
ville, wifi hold revival services
Jan. 6-13.
According to E.B.
Richardson, gastor.
evangelist Bruce Scotton,
state secretary of the Church
of God of Prophecy in
Georgia, will be the guest
.= =
~ “He will be preaching and
playing the piano,” s:ig the
pastor. “He is a dynamic
preacher, and we are pleased
to have him come to our
church.”
The services begin at 7
p.m. on Sundays and at 6 p.m.
throughout the rest of the
week.
Some people quit school for
the reason that they don’t
want to do the work. I think
that everyone can graduaté
from school if they make an ef
fort. To me the world would be
a better place to live if all
students took part in school
and get the upgate on things
and ge part of them.”—Jack
Cleveland
“lI would like to see the
Chattooga Indians football
team go to the state playoffs.
If there is angthing I rather
see than the Chattooga foot
ball team, I would not play on
the team myself. In 1980 I
hope to see a happy Chattooga
team and a county of happy
residents. "—-Perne{l London

peace is better than a steady
war.”'—Laurence J. Peter
