June, 1962 f - The Yellowjacket Page Three SPLENDID ASSEMBLIES SPARK THE YEAR During this past year, many distin- guished speakers, such as Marquis Childs, Mrs. Kathryn Stone, Mr. Cam- bell, Mrs. NVarren, Mr. Martin, Mr. James Townsend, and Mr. VVilliam VVright, have addressed the student body of T.-I. Mr. Marquis Childs, author of a syndicated column which is read by millions of people from coast-to-coast, spoke to the student body on world af- fairs. He stressed the importance of to- day's youth to develop a more optimis- tic view of world affairs. Mr. Childs' lecture, given on November 14, center- ed around tlie defeatist attitude of the American peoples. Several assemblies were given sole- ly to ninth grade, in an effort to give the students an idea of what the future might hold. On January S, Mrs. Kath- ryn Stone urged students to keep up with the ever changing world and plan ahead. She explained the importance of getting a good education and using initiative. The more you keep alive with the contemporary world, the more you do that's worthwhile. VVakefield's Director of Guidance, Mr. Champbell, talked about the re- quired courses and a few of the possi- ble electives one could take in senior high school. He explained the choices and told the number of credits required to graduate. The Medical profession was discuss- ed by Mrs. Wa1'1'en, Assistant Direc- tor of Virginia Council on Health and Medical Care and a frequent visitor of Arlington schools. 'VVith the help of color slides, Mrs. Warren told the ninth graders about a wide variety of medical vocations. 'fEducation in Ethiopia was the top- ic of Mr. Williaiii Wright's speech at Tee jay for seventh and ninth grad- ers, April 9. Mr. Wright had been the principal of a high school called Ethio- pian College, and he proved qualified to speak on the subject. In spite of the fact that Mr. VVrigl1t kept reminding his audience to wake their neighbors once in awhile, he had a very captivated group of listeners. He thoroughly got his point across about the conditions of education in Ethiopia, how fortunate we are, and how important it is to read with this A BACKWARD GLANCE The teachers who left TJ. last year were sent questionnaires and asked about past history of TJ. Among the questions was one on sports. In reply to this we found that TJ. won the county football championship in 1953, with Mr. Michael as coach. Also, we were the winners in county track for three years. At one time there was wrestling between Tee Jay and Dolly Madison. TJ. also had a boxing team. Did you know that there were once two private dwellings between Thomas jefferson and Patrick Henry? Across from Tee -lay was a held, where the Christmas trees were picked for the lobby and rooms. Eddie Fisher sang at TJ. with the Army Band. The Navy Band visited TJ. afterwards. Fads and fashions were much dif- ferent in past years than they are now. At one time, boys wore sloppy sweat shirts, but have now disappeared. TJ. used to have a Clashing Color Day and a Bell Day at Christmas, which we still have now. Tee Jay had some really interesting history. Don't you agree???? growing World. With him, he had brought a number of colorful slides. Each slide had an exciting and thought- ful story to it. In his speech, Mr. VVright gave numerous statistics, but in such a way that one would not soon forget them. Out of a population of about 20 mil- lion only five to six thousand people attend high school, With school costing S12 a month, most parents can't afford to send their children to school because this is as much as the average Ethiop- ian farmer earns a month. Another problem is lack of schools. On top of all this, the school pro- gram is very difficult. All students have to learn and know three languagesg their own tribal tongue, the national language, and English, which instruc- tors teach beginning in the fifth grade. Once a student fails a grade he can no longer enter school. Last year, 2500 out of 8000 students graduated to ninth grade. There were 475 twelfth graders in all of Ethiopia and only 175 got their high school diplomas. Mr. W1'iglit, nearing the conclusion of his talk, said The alphabet is the Ethiopians' key to success. YUU IIHEER FUR US, WE'll BHEER FUR YUU No one can deny that our teams this year were simply fabulous, but let's not forget the cheerleaders! I think everyone knows them but I'll just re- introduce them. They are Donna Thompson, Cricket Jarret, Charlotte Catoe, Cindy Chinnis, Pam Roberts, Pam Germas, Conchita Solomon, and Linda Lepp Cwho moved near the end of the yeaizj They were with the teams and the whole school through all the suspense and excitement of our games. They cheered us through thick and thin and spurred a real charge of school spirit. They've worked very hard on special performances during pep rallies and they've worked out some real cute cheers. This year a special emphasis was put on good sportsmanship, win it, tie it, lose it, take it like a sport. 'VVe did a pretty good job of it, too!! So now that the end of the year is here, congratulations should be given to them for their commendable job and also thanks for working so hard for us. Now it's time to introduce the new cheerleaders. But first let's look at what all those girls go through to make cheerleader. On the first days of the tryouts there is what seems to be just hundreds of girls trying to join one of the most coveted positions held at school. By the time the final cut is over, there have been more than enough tears and bro- ken hearts. However, the tears always go away and broken hearts have a way of mending. So that before long every- one is alright. That is, everyone ex- cept the girls who made cheerleaders, they're still in a daze for Weeks. Welcl like to congratulate these girls and wish them all the luck possible dur- ing the next school year. The new cheerleaders are Sharon Chinnis, Con- chita Solomon, Peggy Chewning, Chip- per Garber, Kathy Marchant, Lorretta McCormick, Joyce Barrett, Carol Han- sen, Nancy Lehman, and Lorraine Allen. Again we say thanks to the old and new cheerleaders.!!! Mickie Bachschmid.
