You've lived with me all your life. Do You See The Garden? l see the garden, Youth, and perhaps more of it than you see. Thatis because lim older, and l see the shadows as well as the sunshine. Yes, l see the garden. Do You Like The Garden? I like your plot, Youth. lt is hardy and peren- nial. It will live forever. But, see across the pond. Those plots are shadowed by the tower- ing, gnarled trees of oppression. lflfhy Are The Trees There? Because the gardens were neglected. and youth grew there without enough sunshine. The soil was of darkness and defeat. Then, when the seeds took root, there was naught to guide them. What Are Their Branches? Oh, some are called hate, some greed, some madness. Others are of the species known as conquest, purge, protection, They all flourish in the dark of ignorance. -xl an if . 2 ti.. : flgiti 'leftists' nw,t:,:., 1 , '4 wzzztffl . 1 it ' 'Q 4 , Q ,.

Over and over again in times before, we have vveedcd the evils from the garden, only to have them come back again. You, sturdy seedlings, are too young to recall other great victories. But your mission must be eternal. Vlfhy Must We Vlfeed? Because, Youth, your own special plot is now being threatened, and all the fruits of years of democratic living are in danger of being de- stroyed. Even l, your fairest Howerf' was threatened once upon a time, not so long ago. The aggressors will overrun your plot and choke out your borders if you do not weed. How Can life Re-Sow? lt will take time and patience and persever- ance. It will be hard and long work. But it will be joyous to re-sow the garden with the good. Let us sow service to our nation, faith in our ideals, and courage for ourselves. ldfhat lflfill Come Of it? Your garden will become more spacious with the extending boundariesg and when the weeds of slavery and oppression are torn out by the roots, you will have freed the garden from evil for evermore, and then you will have a peace, not for ten or twenty years, but for all time. And l will help you. You must have faith in me, Youth, for l am the Voice of Democracy.

Speaking of plums, we think ll'lARGARlfT BAGVVELI. is Plum nice. Shes a Peach of a sport tool Her quiet fun has added spices to our fun diet . . . Quite often some of our most pleas- ant mcmories are connected with our best liked vegetable, and every year we must have it planted again in our gar- den. If we lose the seed of it and ean't replace it. we miss it tremendously. ELAINE was planted lirst in VVest Gantt and she's come hack each year more pleasant than before. VVe'll miss her next year . . . It is said that the hardest head of cabbage is the best, and too, hardheaded SAMMIE is the best kind of a person. A good time is his theme of life and practical jokes his topic. Education is not in his line and his slogan is all work Cand no playD makes Sam a dull hoyf' but since this doesnt hurt his conscience. it shouldnt hurt ours . . . JANE might he com- pared with the lilac for none can lic-lak ,lane and get by with it. Her ability to take and dish out a joke has made her an object of attraction. Nurse-rymen have devoted considerable attention to the lilac . jane has received considerable attention from the students-:QFD and teachers . . . The sturdy marigold4right there through heat or cold and staying just the same. A plant that can be counted on for longalived service. IQLIZABETII, that's you. ll' you want a job done and she can do it at all. just let her know . . . If it's frail beauty we want in a llower gar- den, wc'd probably plant some llaster lilies. Right along with those in our thoughts is MARCARIZHI' IEARI,,E-- Fair, gentle. and delicately sweet, Shcls the type of person who never tires of doing favors for people-a typically Southern l-lower . . . The Blue Day Lily and the fair blue-eyed ANNE are very much alike. ln the lily family the colors vary from white to scarlet. ln Anne the colors also vary from white to scarlet, 'cause we know she is capable of blushing. They soon lerirnerl to tell the destructive weeds from helpful fellow plants. N.. Then llll'.Y u'ere IITIIISIIIIIIIIUII Io Iurger rooms-senior high seltool. i I l ,V+ 1,,i .,, v .' V 'I .

MAHCEIN reminds us of this kind of plant. Determined and self-reliant, she ntalces her own way and a pretty good one at that . , . Giving us a golden opportunity to enjoy her wit and humor . . . PATSY resemhles the golden rod-both treasured and widely known. XVhen you hear those l5 rahsn for Gantt, you'll know Patsy is somewhere near. Although the golden rod may he seen swaying hy a dry roadside, the party which Patsy attends will never he dry . . . The pansy, a small thoughtful plant gives rise to thoughts of EDITH, who is also small and thoughtful. Both have manv nielcnanies and can adapt themselves to all conditions. XN'e might add that she's naughty hut nice . . . Because ol' his sunny disposition HUSSEIL portrays the sun- flower-Tall, straight and upright in stature as well as in character. He was planted as a seed in another school hut was transplanted and is springing up with us this year . . . Eyes, eyes and more eyesukremind us of potatoes and ,f'll.lClf. How does she see everything and know everything? Shes always there when the fun and jolces are in progress. ller wit and personality Qand attractive hlue eyesj together. inalxe her a splendid per- son . . . The Violet-shy and sweet, is a flower thats pleasant to have around. 'lihat's just why we associate ALIHINE with this ilower. She is quiet but when it is necessary, she can always do her part . . . 1.01 fl, the lily oi the valley!'ls not this lily pure? VVhat fuller can procure a white so perfect, spotless, clear, as in this ilower doth appear? . . . The head ol' the dandelion is a lovely gold:n yellow, eomparahle to Sflllflli MCDONXU IYS golden yellow hair. Although the dandelion may easily he extinguished, Saralvs humor is unextinguishahle.

XK'ouldn't it be nice to have as many R. Dfs as we have kinds of poppies . . . IEIIIY MeVVHlTE and the Sweet VVilliam not only have the same name. but have the same characteristics-Nice and sweet! Vile donlt know which gets around the most, Billy or his sweet running Ford, but generally, when we see one we see the other . . . . GVVENDOLYN-The Iris speaks boldly in your faireomplexion and agreeable disposition. When Iris Eyes are smiling-there you'll find Gwen-Good luck, smooth sailing . . . MELVIN and the radish have the same char- acteristics-small and when he blushes-red! VVe usually think of radishes as growing erowded together-we also think of Melvin being found in a crowd and the crowd in which we find Melvin, will soon be increasing . . .

Unlike everybody else he has plenty of time or at least he takes it, anyway. As for being a body guardfhe does pretty well. He's a right jolly person, too . . . VVe might compare IUARTHA with the tall, graceful hollyhock. Both are stately in appearance and are best used for a background for others. lylartha adds a bit of color to the social life of the students . . . The Daffodil, an old fashioned, ever popular flowery can be closely related to LILLIAN, who is the reserved type. yet popular-the blossoms are gay and so is her spirit . . . The cucumber, which is usually thought of as cool and collected, is very much like DONALD. Each blossom produces a small fruit. His disposi- tion and personality are so well liked until they have become a blossom in the garden of life . . . Bowl King Cotton-that's I. IVIARION. Fine products come from cultivated plants and he is one of our most cultivated pro- ducts. King Cotton is a financial aid and just so is hlarion to the Senior Class: for he is our treasurer . . . The hyacinth is a favorite Hower and speedily becomes popular. So is MAMIF, a favorite with us. VVhere there is fun, there hlamie is also. If she has hushed joking a whole period at once, we are yet to find it out.

Wh-W. ,, -14 ' l l i -4- 4 SCHOOL LUNCH PROGRAM With Mrs. Elizabeth Moon Tripp as superintendent, the VVcst Gantt school has inaugurated a lunchroom project that went into operation for the first time on january 3. The school had operated only a canteen until that time. The project is a great success as indicated by the remark of Charles Hardin, who says: I gained five pounds the first month we had lunchesf' and of Tommy jordan of the third grade, who says: 4'The hot lunches are the best part of our school. The faculty is also delighted with the project. Mrs. Cater, principal of the grammar school, declares: A'VVe have missed so much these many years in not having our lunchroom. At the beginning of the 1943444 school year, the P.T.A. voted unanimously to install and equip a lunchroom. No equipment was on hand from which to make a start, hence, a stove, sink, hot water tank, cabinets, septic tank, etc., had to be purchased. The total expense of these, and installations, was approximately 3800. This, the patrons have financed and paid for in full, showing their interest and desire for such a project. Of the many improvements and additions made at West Gantt, none has equalled the addition of hot lunches. Both students and teachers have directly benefitted in that not only are they being served a balanced, nourishing meal but also the type of work done by each has decidedly improved, The teachers report that desirable food habits are developing, important lessons in orderliness, cleanliness and good manners are being taught, desirable social conduct is being developed. Most important of all-the general health of the school has definitely improved. Beta ter classroom work has been noted, especially is this true of the afternoon classes. Prior to the serving of meals there was a Hletedownn in the latter part of the day, most pupils in general doing poorer work than they had done in the forenoon. This situation has been corrected in most part. One of the most approved results of this project is the strengthening of the tic between the school and the community. The children are proud ot this program and this pride in turn is reflected by the parents. There is no hesitancy on the part of students, teachers and parents in boasting that the VVest Gantt lunchroom is the most inodernly equipped, the most attractive and best functioning lunchroorn in Greenville county. Nliss Anne Morgan and Mrs. Tripp are faculty advisers. gl MORE HMS AND JILLS' GARDEN CLUB PRESIDENT Mus. NC'XfVuIT1f., IJVl,'XilfL'lll Y ,J QALMA SWA TER Now if all the material aids to thy light, Clearly tinted in russet and gray, Were to vanish, dear West Gantt, and pass from my sight, Like air-castles fading away, Thou would still be adored for the spirit thou art, Let these elements pass as they will, From thy fervent, deep spirit each heat of my heart VVould receive those high purposes stilll It is not by their riches in buildings of stone, And their spires, each illumed by a star, That the value and worth of a school can be known, For thy spirit shines brighter hy far! No, this beacon that guides me is dimmed not a ray, But as truly and sweetly still glows, And the youth that breathes deep of thy spirit today Feels its power wherever he goesl Powisu VV.
