ACSIBO FQIQEWQIQD WEducation for All American Youthn is a recent publication of the Educational Policies Commission. Here we find postwar educational planning stressing character training as one of the major aims of the school, which must not be overlooked. The approach in a school might other group or in lige as well as duty to study his respective group and tactfully 'lqect and guide it' so that proper habits and attitudes will develop. To do this, we teachers must try to understand boys and girls and be willing to view situations from their standpoint as well as our own. used in one school or with one age-level group be quite different from that used with some some other school. It is each teacher's privi- Character is the conduct of a person in situations which involve others. The genuineness of character depends upon the degree to which a person respects the rights and welfare of others as well as his own. The experience of working democrati- cally with others for a greater purpose than personal welfare is an example of character education. A baseball player who, for the good of the team as a whole, plays a position other than the one of his choice is developing a better character. Every ac- tivity at the school offers such training whether work, in the science laboratory, editing a school recreation, as well as at social and other group side of school. p We should remember that Wreputation is what are, while character is what we really are.W in formal class yearbook, or in gatherings out- people think we fmt more i i .

The sun. . . . it luxe been so long since I have seen it that its warmth and br1lliance,:is bllt-L a dim memory. It is queer to know that in another world, as it were, there is pure air, bird songs- and freedom from fear. When I remember things that I have seen in this awful hole, I am grateful for the noise of ' my drill and the body-tiring exertion of my pick, for it makes me forget. Like a shell-shocked soldier, I cringe at loud noises and fling myself close to the earth. Twice I have heard that noise followed by crashing rumbling as if the world itself were coming apart and I have seen the trapped miners' families staying day and night by the mouth of the mine, waiting. . . waiting. , . and hoping. Csweat not caused by my work bathes my body as I .' remember that Death comes in threesl3 The frantic digging to release the men, the faint tappings and the voices as we come nearer to theme-tappings and voices that grow fainter and fainter as the oxygen is used up and the men breath with shallpw breaths, faces pressed close to the tunnel floor. Then, at last, to reach them. Too late for many, in time for a few. And Death strikes in threes. - Somewhere there are blue skies, and I remem- ber a lake, cool and clear, where I played as a boy. The water was like a caress against me, and my body then, strangely enough, was whitei Now it is black, and no soap is powerfull enough to wash away all of the grime. I come to the mine in the dark morning and return at night when it is dark' again. All things are dark and black. The mine, the coal, my pals, and I. Even my life and thoughts are dark and dismal. But I remember blue skies, a lake that is cool and clear, and dimly I remember a sun that has warmth and brilliance. Rosalie Clark '47 M I . .

That's the life for me With the taste of salt water in my mouth As I brave the deep, dark sea. I'd fight each doubt that would arise When a storm I knew was near. I'd weather each gust of wind that blew In spite of all my fear. I'd go out on the deck, when the sun again did shine, And I'd watch it dry the wet deck off All soaked with salty brine.

Shirley glanced quickly at her friend sith ting beside her and wondered why she said that, for she herself wasn't taking any pains to look elsewhere. Lois declared quickly, WLet's move.' WNhy?' was Shirley's amazed reply. NOh, don't ask stupid questions. You know my father is here somewhere and I don't Want hirzto see me with Lester,N remarked Lois quite disgusted. They moved down to the front of the theater where it was darker and harder to be seen. Presently Nthet boy from New Salemn set down beside Lois.

WINTER IMPRESQLQNS At the moment, I am taking my daily walk around my yard. It is snowing hard. When I touch it, the cold, wet substance melts in my hand. As I walk, I can hear it crunching under my feet. It is a pleas- ant sound. The rhythm of the crunching and the sting- ing of the cold, brisk air on my face make me want to walk at a faster tempo. In the distance I can hear the voices of children who are playing in the new-fallen snow. In my mind I picture them making fat snowman and sliding down the long hills near my home. I can hear a dog bark in pro test of being left behind. No doubt he would like to slide too. Someone is taking advantage of the new snow by going for a sleighride. I can feel the vibration of the horses' hoofs and I can hear the sleigh bells ringing. Somehow, on a day like this it isn't so bad being blind. You can sense the joy and happiness of other people, That in itself helps to make up for the fact that I cannot see the happy expressions on their faces Ann Withington '46 I The snow came down in swirls. It circled 'round and 'round, Going this way and that 'Til it finally reached the ground. II The wind was all a rage As it tossed and blew the trees. It swept the fresh lain snow in ridges-f Like waves on the stormy seas. Annie Boyd '48 I I I I I I I I i I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I CLOUDS One by one they go Sailing by my window-pane- ' Ild like to try and reach them, But my efforts would be all in vain. I cannot touch their beauty As they float on through the sky. They look like fleecy cotton batting As slowly they fly by. What makes them go? Why wind, of course-- The wind is moving them along With a slow and gentle force. Annie Boyd '48 THE FIRST SNOWFALL It was a rough and windy day, The sun refused to shine. Gray clouds like battle ships sailed by There was mist on the horizon line. Bowing to the winds com and, The trees swayed back and forth Bare of leaves, so helpless they looked As that wind came down from the North. I knew winter soon would be here As I watched the first flakes fall. I knew that soon a blanket of snow Would silently cover all, ' Annie Boyd '48 E i i i 1 I E s l 1 E xa nax mp. ua ,. , . - .A . ,, 24 , .Sk ,,.! .f .-,:f:1,g- 5.,.,-,n,i,,,Y-,,7..f7-M.-,,5,..N,7.r Ex XA Y , 'mug , A X G 0 x ff K gf.

On December 14, 1945, at half past eight, a large crowd was gathered at the TOWH Hall to see the play which was a great success. The cast was as follows: Rodney Wells, Jr....,sGabrte1 Recos Pete Thompson..,.....tRobert Belden Francie 0 0 0 a Q 0 Preble Mrs. We1lsb3Xsa....Kathryn Brunelle Mrg Wellac 53555 o 0 0 Q 00 oaichard Recos Elizabeth Wells....,,,LauDa Knowles Gwendolyn Toddss.....Ann Withington nspecks' Howaidi.....Ernest Johnson Doris Mansfisvdu.....v1rg1n1s Bates Stage Manager........Bernard Barnes Promptergqqlct ollecgaocllnud-y The Story of the Play Rodney Wells, Jr., has suddenly discovered muscles and girls, and the combination has him slightly confused. He believes that large muscles and n tes delivered the nhard wayu are necessary to win Doris Mansfieldls heart. He be- lieves things to be going quite smoothly when.his best friend, Peter Thompson,'acc1dental1y delivers a note to Gwendolyn Todd, who rushes over to tell him how happy she is. The night of Doris's party, an event in young Rodheyfs life when he must be well dressed, he finds that his clothes closet has been raided by his sister Elizabeth.

TEE FQQSQMAQ INITIATION A few days before the much-heralded Freshman Initia- tion, Bobby Douthit, male star of the cast, fell down and broke his collar bone. The accident was a great calamity to the Sophomores, but they went through with their plans, ' The Freshmen were told to bring bonnets, rattles, and candy. They spent a great deal of time wondering what these were for, but they soon found out. They wore the bonnets,. carried the rattles, while,the Sophomores ate the candy, while making them bow humbly. At noon the teachers and Sophomores got their shoes polished by the poor Freshmen. While the Freshmen went home with timid hearts wondering what was going to happen that night, the Sophomores were snicxering up their sleeves and telling fantastic stories. That night, the Freshmen arrived at 7:00 and were dressed up as a family. At 8:00 they marched in the side door of the gym looking very much like a happy family group. A baby carriage was being pushed by the father llsa- bell Orendad and the mother QMelsin Merritt! walked beside him hanging onto the baby's CBobby Douthit'sJ hand. Bobby had to walk because of his broken collar bone. In the family was a teen-ager CSonny Dorowl, a small boy iKathryn Baldwini, and a sweet little girl CBeverly Ellicttl The Freshmen stumbled and stammered through their duties for'the night and the affair ended with the Fresh- men singing NPlaymates.n A little dancing was done afterwards and refreshments were sold. Arline Dorow 'A8 gig SPELLING gpg gg ig The preliminaries of the spelling bee were held April second. The winners were Beverly Elliott, firstg Judy Boyd, second, and Stuart Bryant third.
