This is the Golden Jubilee Year of the National Society of Daughters of the American Revolution and the Perry County Chapter is extending the Good Citizenship Pilgrimage in every country. Senior students in each public-high school choose by vote three girls in their class who excell in the following qialitlos to a degree? 1. Dependability-truthfulness, 2. Service-cooperation 3. Leadership-personality; so If -control, ability to assume responsibility. 4. Parti otism-unselfish interest in family, school, community, and nation. From the three girls thus elected, the high school faculty selects one who becomes the Good Citizen of her school. A Ques-tionaire will be sent to the principal. Under this supervision the Good Citizen will be allowed one hour to complete the test. All D.A.R. Chapters in the state of Pennsylvania will participate in the Good Citizenship Pilgrimage and from the winners of this contest, the Pilgrim will bo chosen who will represent Pbnn-sylvania as the guest of the Daughters of the American Revolution in Washington in April. The senior class and faculty have choson Kiss Zoe Y agner to participate in the D.A.R. contest this year. Last year Kiss Esther Jones represented the senior class. The regular meeting of the Parent-Teachers' Association was held Monday, January 20, 1941. The President opened the meeting and gave a short talk on th« value of oducation. Miss Blanche Robinson outlinod the program of the tuberculosis society as far as it concerns our school. All the students are to be given the tuberculin test and then x-ray if there are my symptoms of the disease. Tho teachers are also urged to take the test. The tuberculosis cases were greatly increased in Perry County this past year. The community is asked to cooperate in tho work of this society. A panel discussion was carried on by the parents, townspeople and members of the faculty, Mr. Kipp, Henry Fall, Mr. Rothen-berger. Miss Laurence Wolfe, Miss Fanouf, Miss Margaret Smith, Mrs. E. C.

Katie Kapp has been carrying her arm in a sling and Ecris Knisely was jealous of her so she decided to carry her arm around in a sling. Jean Knabe limped around for about a week because she sprained her ankle in a basketball game. Be careful, pupils school may have to b fclosed on account of broken bones. ' classes'are changed Since the first half of our school yeer is over and we have started the second semist6r, some of the classes have changed subjects. The 11-A s have changed from first year algebra to Solid Geometry; the 12-A's have changed from Trigonometry to second year algebra; the 9-A1s have changed from General Principles of Language to first year Latin: the ll-B's and 12-B’s have changed from descriptive Chemistry to descriptive Physics. The ether classes have remained practically the same. We all hope t hat we can do as well if not better the remainder of the year. Good lu«k, kids! NEWS Tirr BLIT ,;i?

In case you're in doubt as to what I mean by the Clashing Frosh, 1 am here to tell you. This name has been elected by the 3-A girls as the name of their basketball team. For the past week the girls have been practicing for intra-mural night. The 9-A has only eleven girls and of these eleven approximately, h-lf are from the country. This means that if some of their best players would be unable to take part in intramural it would put the team back very much. Y c are hoping, however, that we will bo able to arrange it so these girls will be hore for these games. Tho names and eostionc of the players are as follows: Elmyra Boyer-------------------------Guard Phvllis Enck.............-.........Forward Ida Fahnestalk.....................

(much to the girls delight). Almost all of the' girls are afraid to take the Tuberculin Test, so they have osked the 10-A boys to come and hold, their hands while the doctor injects the needle into their ams.

Hello, all you guys and gals. That man is here again. You know, I've been having quite a time keeping tabs on all of you, but here are a few of my findings. Flashl Would someone please tell me if Carolyn Miller likes Pee-wee Longs-derff or Lew Bonn? You say it's Pee-wee ? Thank youl Who could that be getting out of Eugene Smith's car? L'hy it's Rhodr. Harper ! Eugene, I thought you were a woman-hater. Goodness me, every where you look, you see girls shedding tears because their heart-throbs are leaving to go in training. For full details, ask Kate Burd. You see, Jim Webb is among those young Americans. Well, can you beat it? All the bashful Seniors are snapping right out of it or into it or something. They tell me Louis Dietz now has a girl friend and Grace Smith has a boy friend. By the way, that's a nice necklace, Grace. Congratulations, Carrie, Genieve, and Evelynl They certainly are lovely diamonds. You know, I'm beginning to feel slighted since everyone is donning engagement rings. I've been to New Bloomfield lately and whom do y u think I saw there? You're right, it was that happy foursome. Bob Cams, Connie Wiley, Mary Kell, and Bob McKensie. What's the matter Reba, does Karl have to work on Saturday night? Say, that's a snazzy coat you're wearing, Ethel. Oh, you say Charlie selected it? Well, then, no wonder it's so nice. '.'Such dopey boys, I never srw. Well, you girls are just contrary. - We want things our way - Thats just the trouble with you girls.

AFTER GRADUATION-WHAT THEN The choice of a life career is the most important problem a boy or girl mu solve. It is not enough to i from hearsay, or by the many different occupations. Such an ungnided, haphazard method is without purpose and may give false impressions. Mere drifting into an occupation or vocation has caused many individual failures, to say nothing of a great loss to society. Careers must be planned. Former students now realize that it is essential to make an orderly, systematic, and v ell-planned survey of the many occupations. They find it necessary not only to occu -mulate facts, but also to stimulate interest in wide reading, thought, and study. Further evidence of the value £ such a study in the fact that boys and girls who have made a survey of occupations, have shown a readiness to change their intentions and opinions about certain occupations. Perhaps one of the best ways to secure helpful guidance is through reading books on vocations and careers. There arc several helpful books in the library for this use. A very good one is Planning A Career , written by Smith and Bloug'.. It is the result of ctu- 1 torching and experimenting in t .. classroom, with a background of practical ax-oorianc' of writers in sumo thirty different occuo' tin:.s. At th'. end of each chapter, is a list of references or. the occupation that the chapter oxpIfinod. Another vary good bock is Occupations by Got in And Y hoatlcy. These two bocks r.ro very helpful in the fact that they tell all about each occupation. The books tro net on the onoyclopcdir order; they arc v r interesting a d descriptive. Another very important step in planning a career is cccomplis cd by talking to your school teachers. Perhaps they will give you rs much helpful guidance as anyone could. They have known •’■ou for quite a while, therefore can be helpful in finding whrt you arc fitted for. Talk to them end asl: their advice, they may suggest something to you that would bring profit .and that ■'•’ould prove invaluable in later ye'rs. Maybe you do know in what field of occupations vou want to go. In that ease, your best bat is to go to people engaged in that type of vocation. Talk to them and learn whrt is required end v,hrt is asked of '0” in going into that field. Find out about room for advanco-m nt ar.d other necessary and helpful questions that rou may have in mind. Your choice ft this timo will kolp dctcrr.iac your degroo of success -r failure in life. There is onl • one person who cr.n make or undo yen. That 'person is yourself. Think carefully and nlan wisely. BOOK CORNER Do you like to road? If you do you, will be interested to know that many now boohs, hath fiction ar.i non-fiction,liavc been added to the ' . II.
