•V 0 The Importance Of A School Education By Sharon D . Ashman - What would the world be like today if no one were educated? ' .e would be a barbarous, uncivilized, uncultured nation. Education is everybody’s business. It is generously ofiered to us, but many of us, not realizing its value, refuse to accept. it. . I- only we would sometimes stop to consider £he number of countries in which only the wealthy can attend schools, we might realize how priv¬ ileged we really are. Perhaps if we called to our minds the cost runr: .ng schools, more pupils might become more studious and wouJ 01 sho re ate r .interest in learning, School does a great service for us. It prepares us for wholesome Jiving beyond school. Without schooling, we couJln’t have as many.opp¬ ortunities for advancement. We wouldn’t be able to really accomplish things the way we can through having it. Through it, we are enabled to become more aware of the happenings in our huge world and to understand them better. We are able to attain a higher degree of civilization and to obtain a greater knowledge of the universe about us. The necessity of peace and security is brought, to our minds and we are bc.vgkt to do our parts. a school we meet diff¬ erent kinds of people and we have to adjust ourselves to many new.sit¬ uations. In this way we acquire the necessary techiniques that-will be useful in dealing with people we may come in contact with in the out¬ side world . School is like a vast bridge. It carries us from infancv to mat¬ urity. School, and all it stands for, should be and is free to all who want it. It is up to us to show our appreciation of it by using it to a good advantage. My Best Subject By L yleSile s The subjec t I like best is History. It deals with important hapo swings, important places, and important people. In history there’s ys something about battle, explorers, inventions, painters, writers, i rs, and all sorts of people. If it weren’t for history we wouldn’t who invented anything, or played something. But histor r isn’t just s cries of inventors, painters, etc. It is the story of mankind, step by ' ten to the present time- the cultures of ancient people and their r lisle us beliefs. Some of these people, thousands of years ago, were creative in mind and progressive; others were very primitive. History deals with people of all countries, and shows the errors of the past so they won’t be made again. It is the subject that gives examples of living in ether countries. It does away with prejudice and racial dis¬ crimination. That’s why I like history best. Joe Blow was telling about a trick he’d learned in trying jui- jitsu: :: So I grabbed his Tr rist like this — then I twisted like this — and before I knew what hit him-- I was flat on my back.

How You Tel l On Yourself By Sharon Ashman You tell on yourself by the friends you seek, By the very manner in which you speak, By the way you employ your leisure time, And by the use you make of a dollar and a dime. You tell what you are by the things you waar, By the spirit in which your burdens you bare, By the kind of things at which you laugh, And by the records you play on the phonograph. You tell what you are by the way you walk, By the ' things of which you delight to talk, By the manner in which you boar defeat, And so simple a thing as how you eat. By the books you pick from the well-filled shelf; In these ways and more you tell on yourself; So really there is no fragment of sense In an effort to keep up false pretense. Our Sea r chlig ht” By Sharon ' Ashman The ’’Searchlight” is our book, And we’ll publish it by hook or by crook. In it are pictures of your pals, The smiling faces of our boys and gals. This book will keep you up on the news, And will also give you many pleasant views . To work for the ’’Searchlight” was a lot of fun, Although it kept us on the run. Thanks to Mr. Smalley and to us, We made this book with little fuss’. The ’’Searchlight” we hope you will enjoy, If you don ' t,tell us; don ' t be coy. Happy Sprin g By Lillian funk I love the spring, the beautiful spring, The time when robins begin to wing, When lilacs begin to bloom; And lovers commence to swoon. Spring is the time of laughter and fun, Time to rise and play in the sun; The tiny seeds are growing, Warm breezes are blowing. Spring is the time when birds are singing, The time when tiny tots are swinging, Spring comes but once a year, And hHncrg ho rMful -
