RESOLUTIONS, FRAUGHT h
WITH MEANING
II'
As we enter the New Year, we jt
have passed the first mile post of j(|
the new decade. 1940 is a past y
record, and we look to 1941 with re
hope for worthwhile accomplish- r
ments. We .are resolved to learn ^
more, achieve more and do more?
Columbians are making their
New Year resolutions as are peo- s.
pie the?world over. There are ^
two important things,cfalumjiians. fl
through organizations .. and , caon kt
erative movements, plight do and
can do: * t0
1. We need playgrounds fully Sj
equipped and conveniently located
for colored children. gj
2. We need a theatre for the ^
dense population in Waverley. A *
good moving picture concern, lo- cj
cated on the 1600 block of Harden
street, would not only find pa- nr
tronage from Waverley people t0
who are home owners, but it would yj
receive a healthy patronage from jr
the tenants who live in the AllenBenedict
Terrace. jn
Let's have home resolutions j- '
fraught with meaning.

THE TEACHER'S YEAR BOOK
l Several county teachers' asso- lei
? ^ciations in South Carolina haVe m
published year books for 19401941.
We have before us the tl<
Year Book of the Colored Teach ho
ers' Association of Laurens coun er
ty, headed by the progressive at
school principal of the Bell street th
school at Clinton, J. T. W. Mims M
The Year Book furnishes inter pa
esting and factual information a ab
bout the activities of the schools "
in Laurens county, the calendar oi ty
meetings and the roster of officers an
including the counts
? (111
dent's staff and the legislative an
delegation.
We have also "skinimed" the myear
books published in Greenville jn
and Spartanburg ^counties. It is ce
rather unique to find that in Spar an
tanburg courfty where [Principal
Woodson is the leader, that the
year book combines the facts a- jyj,
bout white and Negro schools in ?t.(
the same volume. ,

There are several ways to e
press ourselves. One big outstan

feelings and our disposition.

forth any effort to try to save
but ordered the boys to get 01
their belongings and get on t(
of the girls dormitory to wet tl

The boys saved all their perso
