In these few years of experience, I have gained a message that I feel will help both you and your child in the pursuit of an education. If you find that your child is falling behind, consult with the teacher as to the nature of the trouble. It may be that the pupil has reached this point without anyone discovering a slight physical weakness, a defect in sight or hearing. It is best to satisfy yourself first that there is no physical defect of any nature, respon- sible for the lagging mental activity. If you find no trouble of that kind, then the next step is to determine in what studies he is weak, and why. Every parent wishes to foster in his children a sense of independence and self assurance. It is not wise for pupils to receive toomuch aid from either teacher or parents. Supervision of course is necessary, and encouragement is very vital. But if a child can be led to master by his own efforts, the lessons that are difficult and even distasteful, to him, he has gained far more than actual matter contained in the test-book. Hearing him recite his lesson at home will be a great help to him, no matter what the cause of his backwardness may be. We ask that you parents see that your authority in the home is up held. Send your children to church for religious training, that the authority of the Bible may be felt by them; and we shall do our best to maintain authority in the school. lOnly by this close cooperation of home, church, and school can we hope to build the character of the Negro Youth of our country and educate them for future service to humanity. t s, Prindjl i m m THE IDEAL PRINCIPAL ' To be a principal I understand, One doesn ' t need to be a great big man. You need a good brain or you will see That a very poor principal you will be. We have a principal little in size But his record will prove he ' s big otherwise. He ' s loved by all both large and small, Because he ' s the brain of Rosenwald. You can obey or not, you ' re not compelled But if you don ' t you might get expelled. We worry him sometimes and get on his nerve. Then he with his peddle throws a mighty stiff curve. When he enters the room with a great big smile, We know that there ' s something we ' ve done worthwhile. One thing about him he has no pets And that ' s hard to find in a school, you bet. If you go to school and study each day You will get along with him, I ' ll say. Of course you know you have to go to class And if you don ' t you might not pass. He ' s a dramatic teacher and directs the plays, He can teach you to act in just a few days. If you doubt bis ability and don ' t believe me, Then come up sometimes he will show you a key. He excells In math, science, and medicine too And that ' s not all, that ' s only a few. If you know it all, we have your lemon, Which is none other than Mr. J. B. Clemmons By- Thomas- McDowell R. H.

But first let ' s stop and reminisce and gaze back once more, Before we journey into the world which waits outside our door. II Once we the seniors decided, that life was made for fun, So we tried it but found that our work always went undone. Oh there were a faithful few, who did their best, But they too decided to give their brains a rest. Ill So we played and played and life was real fun; And still made merry, while our work was undone But finally we decided that fun wasn ' t all, for that was when our marks began to fall. IV So we began to study, and to love the old school, And any one who doesn ' t is just a poor old fool. So we thank you dear teachers, more than words can tell, And to all Rosenwald we wish a very fond farewell. As reward to our teachers who instructed us their best, We will do our very utmost to make our life a success. We wart ?top nor stumble, where many others fall, But we ' ll march on to victory, we the seniors of Rosenwald. Composer — A Senior Mildred E. Tye ►J WE ' LL NEVER FORGET YOU. (Class Song) I Should old Rosenwald be forgot and never brought to mind, Should old Rosenvald be forgot and the days of real good times. Chorus We heard the school bells ringing so early in the day. Now soon this will all vanish, and slowly fade away, But never, never shall we forget our Rosenwald And though we love her dearly we won ' t be back this fall. II With a song in our heart, And our goal near at hand The time has come for us to part For the same far unknown land. Ill In all the lands where we may stray Be it far or nigh, We ' ll never forget the good old days In old Rosenwald High. Composer — A Senior Mildred E.

All of the hep cats were out to welcome the new members into Rosenwald. The Seniors put one over on the Juniors for once by having a Christmas party. It was carried out with the highest degree of formality. After every fooiball game a social was given to celebrate their victory over the visiting team. After the Home Coming Game, a social was given. It was a very elab- orate affair, with the crowning of the football queen. The attendants of the queen took part in the ceremony. m The Girl Reserves stepped out in rare form, to give their annual Sweet Heart social. Prizes were presented to the Sweet Heart and Sweeties at this fab- ulous affair. The Seniors gave a pre-holiday Christmas social, the music for this gala affair was furnished by Hugh Sims and his Orchestra. The Juniors didn ' t mean to be left behind they topped the season by giving a social in Cabaret Style. It made quite hit in Rosenwald. As a pre-climax to the Social activities for the school year 1942-43, Fuston Simmons entertained the Senior Class and a selected group of friends with an elab- orate dinner party. The color scheme which was very lovely to see, was carried out in patriotic form. [A The dinner consisted of the following: First a cocktail as an appetizer. Then the plate which contained a fruit salad, chicken and dressing, peas, and carrots, hot rolls, delicious coffee and for the desert ice cream and cake. The waiters with their supreme service and the affair more enchanting. The meal was served and eaten by candle light. After the enjoyable dinner everyone went into the beautiful decorated ball room and danced to the lovely tunes of Glenn Miller, Harry James et al. and now we the Senior Class of 1943 are looking forward to the Farewell Social which will send us full of joy and happiness on our way. p. f I - - t- J, H 1 5PE 1KING DF PICTURE 5 32 ► f SPORT CAST W 42- 43 I 4 The Rosenwald football team of 42 completed one of it ' s most spectacular seasons with only one conference loss.

In getting together with some of his schoolmates, he gave us the idea of organizing a Kentucky Club. Dorothy (McCary) Sanders then sent out letters to all known Kentuckians in the Detroit area. The response was very good. Our first meeting took place October 14, 1 969 at the home of Eloise James Ramseur with eight (8) persons present, namely; Winfred Didlake, John Didlake, Emma Lee (Jones) Burton, James (Mudcat) Ramseur, Eloise (McCary) Ramseur, Dorothy (McCary) Sanders, Gladys (Lockett) Warren and Booker T. Kennedy. This was just a temporary get together. One week later we met at the home of Veta Winfred Didlake. The following officers were elected: Winfred Didlake President James Ramseur Vice President Dorothy Sanders Secretary Emma Burton Corresponding Secretary Alberta Lewis Williams Treasurer Gladys Warren Business Manager Emma Didlake Chairperson of the Social Committee The purpose of this club was to have fellowship and annual affairs for all interested Kentuckians and their families. After several meetings we came up with the idea of awarding scholarships to descendants of families of the Harlan County area. We were officially named the Harlanites on November 15, 1969. Our colors are Gold and Black. Our emblem is coal , which stands for the Black Gold mined in that county. We continued to progress and other interested persons became members, namely; Clarence Rhodman, Miriam Kennedy (wife of Booker Kennedy) who became our Sick Fund Treasurer, Floyd Turner, Willie and Mary Eff inger, Henry and Edwina Trentman, Willie B. and Bethel Jackson, Veta Didlake, George and Nora Mahone (Geo. Pratt), Adell Sanders, Hartford L Warren, Jesse and Mattie Logan and Claudia Gardner. The following year, 1 970, Horace W. Elliott, seeing his dream fulfilled became a member, as well as his wife Louise. Still growing, new members to join in 1 970 were as follows: Charles and Mattie Gore, Louise (Calloway) Rivers, Mary Didlake, Ruby (Knox) Person, Charlie Davis, George J. Washington, Vernon Langford, Arthur and Lucille Ramsey, Jesse and Dorothy Mason, George Burton, J. D. Weldon, Emmaand Leroy Ramsey, Gradyand Sally Anderson, Jackie (Didlake) Hinton, Tereace Johnson, and Steve and Beatrice Hill. We as Harlanites stayed active, working towards the First Annual Kentucky Reunion (Harlan County Area), September 5, 1970, held at Prince Hall Masonic Temple in Detroit. Harlanites from all states attended. As the years went along we worked together with our activities and travels which led to our reunion held in Detroit, July 30, 31 and August 1 , 1 976 at the Detroit Cadillac Hotel. We as a club moved into the hotel to be with our guests. The affair was climaxed with a fabulous ball in the Grand Ballroom of the Hotel. The following morning at 1 0 A.M. the ground work was set for the National Board to be organized. Being the first chapter and the first chartered chapter, delegates from Detroit were appointed to attend the meeting held in Columbus, October 30, 1976. They were as follows: Alberta Lewis Williams Dorothy Sanders Emma Burton Winfred Didlake Grady Anderson As a result of several meetings held in various cities, we now have ten (10) nationwide chapters, and have become an incorporated body. £-3 ' u DETROIT CHAPTER KosenuiaUi-iifarlanttes, Inc.
