On the School Scene “ By Rossie Miller “ Smile awhile, and when you smile, another smiles; and soon there are miles and miles of smiles, and life’s worth while be­ cause you smiled.” Without a doubt people are born with a natural capacity fo r laughter. It doesn’t matter in what country or climate we live, how rich or poor, how young or old, a^smile can be interpreted by every individual. Have you ever observed how a smile will help a small child to overcome a. moment o f shyness? Or maybe you have seen how the magic power of a smile was able to bring a bright twinkle into the eyes o f an old lady. Laughter is like everything else worthwhile in life; to get the mo3t from it, we have to share it with another person. I think the halls of C. II. S. should be decorated with a few more smiles on the faces of the students. Remember it takes sixty-five muscles to frown, and only thirteen to laugh. So how about a smile, fellow school­ mates? . . . National Brotherhood Week This week is National Brother­ hood week. In observing the spec­ ial theme of the week, we are re­ minded o f the importance of the exercise o f tolerance by every­ one for those of other races and creeds. In some cities in the nation, youth forums are being conducted as a part of the observance; min­ isters everywhere, as well as edi­ tors are enlightening the public to the need of furthering this vital cause. In this critical period, no indi­ vidual or nation can afford to fos­ ter religious and race prejudices. As a nation, we have our Ameri­ can ideals o f democracy, equality, freedoms o f .the individual, but greater emphasis needs to he placed on their practical appli­ cation. Only a united brother­ hood o f our people will enable us to further a brotherhood for world peace. „ . . , .Fifth Grade Entertains Mothers of the fifth-grade pu­ pils were entertained Friday af­ ternoon, February 18, at two o’clock in the High School audi­ torium. “ George Washington, the Boy,” a one-act play with music was presented by the pupils.

Much of what he says strikes home to all o f us. Little of El- loit’s current sermon spries in re­ mote enough to blame on the other fellow . . . . the McKibben Bible Class o f the United Pres­ byterian Church certainly draws on their imagination for new itLaas. £©i« (.class-. cently they had a dinner meet­ ing eating a first course at one home, the main course, at an­ other homp some distance away and the dessert course at still a different home. They went from house to house or should we say course to course by motor cara­ van. The McKibben class should be congratulated for their novel innovation. . . . The display of axes in Duvall’s window depict­ ing George Washington’s famous cherry tree episode commemor­ ates the birthday of a man who was famous for many things, Among them the telling of the truth. In this day o f modern poli­ tics George would have had a hard time o f it in always telling the truth. Why you even have to know some swear word's today to bp president and what’s more you have to use them occasion­ ally at "banquets honoring your friends................ Almost anytime you pass the Pantry you can see the proprietor, Lloyd Confarr sitting in his chair engrossed in the work of making slides out of film from his movie camera. Here’s hoping you have some good one Lloyd . . . . the recent policy of the railroads and some o f our heavy industries in lay­ ing o ff portions of their work­ men recalls the days leading up to the fatal crash in 1929, Remi­ niscing a hit, your writer can well remember the hard times that followed in the early thirties. Here in Ohio where we are part of the Midwestern bread basket, we don’t feel the strain of a de­ pression as severely as do the other sections of the country. All o f us should do our best to pre­ vent another such depression. . . . . . Have you ever realized the importance of work. Its not easy to get aloqg without doing any kind of work, although some people seem to thrive on dodging work. Every piece o f food we eat, every bill we pay-all o f our fi­ nancial obligations must he paid with money that is earned by someones labor. The fruit of our labor is capital which can either be spent or saved. Taxes are levied on the capital which we earn. These taxes go to operate our government and its many agencies. At the present time the debt that our government has incurred runs into so many zeros that the figure is hard to identi­ fy . It’s way over and above the intake. With this in mind there are still a host of people who seem to forget or try to forget these facts. It appears to he cur­ rently popular not to face real­ ity. . . . . . . Parting Pome To Be or Not To Be A stately spruce told an acorn You’ll amount to something small But the acorn wouldn’t hear such scorn So he grew to he an oak tree tall. There’s a moral to this little poem Let no one predict your success Just step right out and start to show ’em That you want the top-no Jess.
