Along With the Newt
Study Hall
Lost: Somewhere between yester
day and to-morrow sixty golden
minutes. These cannot be re
placed. To some pupils the word
“study hall” means trying to have
a good time by disturbing the oth
er pupils in the room. Teachers
and pupils really appreciate a
good citizen in study hall. Those
pupils who use every spare minute
during the day usually have an
outstanding school record. This is
no time to be accused of wasting
time, so let’s try to have one
hundred per cent working in all
study halls.
Scrap Paper Collection
Scrap paper is still urgently
needed for the fight for freedom.
We must not quit doing our share
on the home front as long as there
is an American soldier on a fight
ing front!
The Boy Scouts will collect pa
per Friday afternoon, January 12.
Please have your scrap paper and
cardboard on your front porch
tied in bundles about ten inches
high if possible.
Wounded In Action
Mrs. Boozer, a member of the
Grammar School Faculty has been
informed by the War Department
that her husband, Pvt. Pressley
Boozer, was seriously wounded in
action overseas, December 20. Mrs.
Boozer has our deepest sympathy.
4-H Clubs Meet
The 4-H Clubs will meet Thurs
day, January 11. The girls are
making pajamas as their project
this month.
Congratulations!
Mr, and Mrs. R. D. McDill are
receiving congratulations upon the
arrival of an eight-pound daugh
ter, Betty Fuller McDill, January
7. Mrs. McDill, prior to her mar
riage, was Miss Mary Fuller, for
merly a member of the Grammar
School Faculty.
Visitor To Grammar School
Leon Rourke, a former student
of the McCormick Grammar
School, was a visitor here last
week. Leon is now a student of
the Military Academy in Bam
berg.
Items Of Interest
Last Monday Mr. Weldon talked
in Chapel. It was a real pleasure
to have one of our own group dis
cuss our needs. He reminded us
that we may forget some things
learned from books, but the habit
of honesty would go with us
through life.
Just before the holidays we were
happy to have as visitors to our
chapel our county delegation: Sen
ator Hester and Representative
Brown. We hope they will come
again for we like to feel their in
terest in our school.
Lunch room guests before, the
holidays were: our state lunch
room supervisor; Mrs. Elmer
Creighton, our efficient county
supervisor; and Mrs. Bertha Har
ris and Mrs. Kate Brown, whom we
always look forward to visiting us.
Mrs. Lauree White and Mr. O. L.
Sturkey of the Local Rationing
Board were guests the same day.
We were happy to have these
guests in our school.
Last week many of our gradu
ates visited us. They were: Mary
Louise Seigler, bertha May Har
ris, Gladys Winn, Mable Freeland,
Carolyn Rice. Billie Bodie, of the
Marine Corps gave an interesting
personal account of Lou Diamond,
one of the most characteristic of
all marines. Billie will be remem
bered as the winner of the prize
for the second healthiest boy in
the state 4-H Club contest.
Miss Ann Johnson of Edgefield
was among the visitors in the high
school last week.

Oh, I know! To wish that the war

Mrs. Harper Sibley, Rochester,

elected president of the United
Council of Church Women, has
called upon church women to as
sume the burdens of developing a
a real ecumencial spirit within the
church which should be some
thing beyond interdenominational
cooperation. “Women have been
too satisfied,” she said, “to simply
| sew flannel petticoats to go to the
mission field and have not suffi-
Iciently dedicated themselves to in
terpret the life and mind of Christ
in his church. Le us take as our
[motto ‘God gave us the word.
Great is the company of women
that bear the tidings’ ”.

Formation of a Latin American
Christian Council has been effect
ed among mission workers in Ybor
City, Florida, according to Miss
Thelma Heath, of Wolff Settle
ment, Tampa, Fla. Through this
organization workers of all de
nominations discovered many
common problems. Estimating
that 90 per cent of the people are
unchurched, Miss Heath says that
there are 25,200 people in the com
munity not affiliated with any
church. “Our major objective has
been to lead these people to a fel
lowship with Christ and affilia
tion with the church. This is a
sl^v/ program with much teaching
and guidance necessary. Some
additions to the church have re
sulted from the settlement activ
ity. More adults are attending
church than perviously. We are
grateful for the work of other de
nominations. Bringing Christ to
the great number of unchurched
is a task too great for one de
nomination. We must work to
gether, forgetting denomination!
boundaries.

MRS. CATHERINE CONRAD EDWARDS
Associate Editor, Parents’ Magazine '
CHILD’S CHOICE OF FRIENDS
P ARENTS are often bewildered
by their children’s choice of
friends. What can serious Susan
possibly see in that fluttery Flor
ence who is her current constant
companion? What does boisterous
Bob find to talk about to shy Sam?
They find, or hope to find, in their
oddly assorted friends what youth
is always seeking—something to
round out their own personalities,
to fill in the lacks they are so pain
fully aware of.
When we are young we are still
hoping that Life’s grab bag will
make up to us what the fairies
failed to bring to our christening
party! So if Susan is the brightest
in her class she is apt to seek a
frivolous camouflage by attaching
herself to a pert little miss whose
tongue rattles off the latest “slan
guage” that Susan can’t talk glibly
to save her life.
In fact, studying your children’s
choice of friends should be a re
quired course for all parents. Un
fortunately, there isn’t a textbook
to guide you, for personality needs
are so many and ways of satisfying
them so various that two children in
the same family may go entirely
different ways in making up for
identical lacks. For instance, an
other girl with the same longing for
gayety as serious Susan’s may pre
tend to disapprove of froth and ei
ther do without friends or choose
someone much older and even more
sedate than herself.
Yon can, however, decide
Into which of two classifica
tions yonr child’s tendencies '
fall in regard to his choice of
friends. There are the retreat
ers and the go-forwarders. Yon
don’t have to worry about the
latter, but the retreaters need
help.
They, too, take many guises so
that they aren’t always easy to rec
ognize. We’ve just described the
most obvious, those who deny what
they want. Then there are those
who seek only admiration in their
friendships. A certain amount of
this is necessary to all of us, for
it is natural to crave an audience.
But if a young person always in
sists on being the admired one in
a friendship, never the one who
looks up to the other, his horizons
will stay just about where they are,
limited to what he can see with his
own eyes.
Another form of retreat in build
ing friendships is always to let
yourself be chosen as a friend,
never to do the choosing. This is ad
mittedly preferable to being too ag
gressive, but it is often just lazi
ness which allows a person to drift
into spending all his friendship on
persons he doesn’t care much about
while he passes up those from
whom he could learn and etorich his
life.
We’ve merely touched on the
vastly important matter of your
child’s friends. But. we hope we
have shown that it isn’t one to be
dismissed with a nagging, “What
do you see in so-and-so?” Try to
figure out what your boy or girl
does gain from his companions. If
it is something he should be getting
at home — such as bolstering of
his self esteem—try to supply it.
But don’t expect to take over the
whole job—for it is a necessary
part of growth for each of us to
discover in friends and the outside
world the same assurances and
satisfactions that as a child we
found in the family.
