IIIILWO see* The above map shows the current status of school district reorganization in all South Carolina counties. It was prepared by the South Carolina Education Association research department from information supplied by County Superintendents. The idea behind school reorganization is to bring about more efficient and economical school administration by reducing the number of school districts in the state. The fewer districts embracing larger territories and more wealth consequently will tend tg give more equalized educational opportunities to school pupils. ^ ^ Game Bird Season In Kershaw County Will End Feb. 18 Th« current game bird season will end in Karshaw county on Saturday, February IS, instead of on Wednesday, March 1, as prev iously announced.

By Isabelle Thompson The fact that the storm last Tuesday night kept lights all over the city flickering on and off, caused the girls’ basketball game between Camden and Bishopville, to be filled with an unusual num ber of “time-outs”—if that is what those reet periods can be called. Almost every time the game would start moving along faat—what hap- pens?—the lights very calmly go out! The little matches start flar ing up in the dark gym, then oiv comes the lights, the girls blink a couple of times and the game goes on. Finally, the Camden girls, with a 51-34 victory, walked off the old court Just as the lights started dimming again. In what seemed no time compared to the dragged out girls’ game, the Camden boys racked up a 51-36 score over Bish opville. Our Senior class is fast proving itself as the leading class in the high school, for it was found on the last honor roll sheet posted that there are more senior students making the honor roll than stu dents in the three other individual high school classes. So far this year the seniors have been making a record worthy of being compared to any of Cam den’s former senior classes. It’ll make us mighty proud in later years to be able to look back and say, “I was a senior in the class of ’50.” For the past two weeks the Pub lic Speaking class has been doing research work in the library for debates, and Mrs. Tiller has set Friday as the date for the first debate to be given. The class, being divided into four teams, was given the privilege .of picking their own topic for debate-. They found that no matter what topic they picked they’d have a hard time debating it so most of them have been working pretty hard. If you enter the Public Speaking room any time these days, you’ll be welcomed with—“My colleague and I propose thaL” “I shall conclude by saying,” “you, my most worthy opponent, have given me a valuable point,” and “Friends, Romans, countrymen”—oops—somebody for got their speech proper! Marion Boykin has been appoint ed as official chairman of the de bates, which will be given in the classroom.
