Literature

Literature is an art of peace and
leisure. Once it seemed that liter
ature was on level only with the
masculine mind, but there have
been and still are many women
writers who have shown consider
able ability.
A lot of creditable work has
been done in criticism, biography
and essay. Success Of literature
have ben women as well as men.
Their works have been appreciated
abroad as well as at home. At the
time of the Sketch Book" a ma
tiona literature had broken out of
the gray dawn Of the 10Th century
From that day to the present liter
ature has grown and the ablest OF
writers represent the various de-
partments. One after the other
writer followed writer; good, bad
and Indifferent as they were.

'X" Marks the Spot

Jake and Herman had been fish
ing in Silver Lake since sun-up
but without much success. Final
ly, just as the long shadows OF
evening were creeping over the
water, they dropped anchor in a
likely spot for a last try. BY the
time darkness came twenty min
utes later they had landed three
nice bass; but it was time for
supper, SO they pulled anchor and
rowed away.
BE sure and mark this spot SO
we can find it in the morning" said
Jake.
A few minutes later, just as they
were coming to the land, Jake in
quired did you mark that spot p
Sure" said Herman, right here
on the side of the boat I marked
it." why, you darn fool" said
Jake, don't you realize we might
not get this same boat in the
morning"

A New Years Resolution

One Of the most practical reso-
lutions one can make for the New
Year is to drive safely, walk safe
~, an in every other way avoid ac-
cidents.
We all make some kind of reso-
luton some time or other, but we
never think of this important one.
Year after year, SO many acci-
dents are caused by carelessness.
Everyone knows that it is a dang
erous practice to hang in back of
an automobile just for a nice sleigh
ride but still accidents of that short
happen.
Considering the many other ways
to avoid accidents and keeping
them well fixed in our minds will
help to start the new year in a
worthwhile way.

CLAYTON Society Notes

Members of the seventh and eigh-
tn grades of Clayton Junior High
School have taken an active part
in social life this year. We have
had two parties, Halloween and
Xmas. The majority were masked
for the Halloween party since priz-
es were awarded for the best dress
ed, the most comicaI and the most
original. The winners were Rhesa
Walton, Leonard Pinder and James
.Gooding, respectively. Then came
the fun. After playing several
Halloween games entirely new tC
us, we concluded our night Of fun
with refreshments, served in the
cafeteria. After bobbing for apples
everyone went home, tired but
happy.
On the 18th of December we haC
our Xmas Party. It consisted Of
the seventh and eighth grade pu-
pills. We played a number Of
games after which the refresh
ments of orangeade and cookies
were served.

as soon as possible and have it fin
ished and done. They were not re-
garded as particularly harmful at
any rate.
We know today that both these
lines of reasoning are false and
pernicious. 1t is not necessary for
every child to have these diseases
and they may in any child prove
serious, particularly in their after
effects, perhaps during the illness.
Modern medicine is taking every
precaution to protect children
against disease.
Quarantine is the best allround
method of prevention. Every in
telligent parent and citizen should
do his utmost to uphold quarantine
regulations. BY quarantine I mean,
of course, measures taken to iso-
late the sick from the well.

Quoted Gossin

There goes that Susis Jones, the

Gossip, with another new coat"
"Ain't she the simplest thing ye
ever seen ?" replied Mrs. Gossip
worse, "but her husband is right
nice"
"Yesi" exclaimed Mrs. Gossip,
'tshe amt fit to be in our church.
Look, here comes the new school
teacher smoking! Amt that a
bad example for the younger gen.
eration?"
"Oh, my, what's the world ever
coming to?" asked Mrs. Gossip
worse. Hide quick! Here comes
that Mrs. Jones and she'll surely
stop if she seen us and talk all day.
All she does is gossip and that is
one thing 1 never do"

From the Principals Office

1t is with great pleasure that I
greet this first issue of the Her
aid" for the year 1856. I trust
that the efforts of the present Of
ficers will be as successful as were
those of the Eighth Grade last year.
Along with the many features of
last year, we wish to add new de-
partments to our paper. In order
to accomplish this the various Of
fcers and committees of the Her
aid were elected as follows:
Editor, Theodore Rohman
Assistant Editor, Billy Carrow
Social Editor, Maud Darrell
Sports Editor, John Donaway
Executive G o nm tee, John
Houtman, Rose Clayville, Dorothy
Donaway.
News Reporters, Shelby Harring-
ton, Leonard Reed, William Bodley
Hilda Elburn.
It is our sincere wish that tha
articles appearing in the Smyrna
Times serve as a connecting link
between our school and the public
Accordingly, it is with gratitude
that we thank the Editor Of the
Smyrna Times for the space he has
SO kindly donated for our use. MAY
we use it wisely in the discharge 81
our duties.

News Items

When we came back to school
this year we found three new
teachers: Miss Robinson, Mrs
Mills, and Miss Smith. They were
appointed to take the place of Miss
Warford, who resigned to teach in
her home town, and Mrs. Clark
who has retired and now lives near
Easton, Md. Mrs. Mills teaches
the fifth grade, Miss Smith the six
tn grade and Miss Robinson the
seventh grade.
We also found that two schools
had consolidated with Clayton
They were Oak Hill and Hazels
This necessitated the addition of an
extra bus and rerouting of the
routes of the other busses. We
now have a total of. six busses COM
ing to our school.
Our first grade has the largest
enrolment, nearly forty being IN
that grade.

Opportunities

Success is won by those who
make the most of opportunities
around them. Nearly every young
person finds many but does not
know how to use them. Wealth is
gained by making the best of small
ones which others DO not notice.
A student who sits in school and
gazes out the windows will not sue
ceed; people who are always look
ing for some great fortune pass by
many small ones. Most of the mil
lionaires today have made their
money from what others consider
ed of no value. Whenever there is
a will there is a way" If you fail
in life, ask yourself this question

portunities or because / did not

Romanticism In America

Since early colonization, the
American people have embodied
principle of romanticism in all of
their lives. They have built up a
nation and race having the charac-
teristics of the romantic movement
in literature The culture of Amer
lean is a direct expression of these
qualities.
Their modern poetry illustrates
the disregarding of customary rules
and forms. The poetry is written
in the typical care-free manner.
Subject matter concerns topics
close to the lives and thoughts Of
the people. Often individual am
bition of the people are beautifully
expressed in poems.
Romantic tendencies are quite
noticeable in the novels. Stories of
people leading lives free from the
long-enforced rules Of convention
and custom are read by all Sep
arate interesting incidents in per-
sons lives are often related in
story form. These happenings ex-
hibit the romantic characteristics
of Americans. They are plainly
expressed in the novels
AS an outgrowth of the novels,
moving pictures have also shown
romantic tendencies. Pictures por-
tray these ideals very plainly
Quite frequently, the players in the
pictures are people led on by de-
sire and attain an unreal form of
living. These pictures are true ex-
pressions of American romantic
ism.
Americans have forgotten the
rules which prohibit individualism
They have adopted manner free
from unnatural habits and Gus
toms. They have founded a separ-
ate and distinct race of people, en-
We'd by all for their romantic quail
lties.

The Herald

Heraldry gets its name from the
heralds of the Middle Ages. These
heralds were official representatives
of kings and lords. 1t was the her
aids duty to keep track Of family
relationship and of the governing
coatS-of-arms.
Today, the Herald brings to you
the social happenings, athletic life,
and club life of our school.
We hope you will like our paper
and will find it of as much use as
were the herads of old.
We wish to thank The Smyrna
Times" for allowing us. the priv
ilege of this space in their paper.

Paying Too Much

One of Benjamin Frlanklln's S
most characteristic stories was
that of an experience he had when
a lad seven years old. His friends
on a holiday had given him a few
pennies, and he set out for a toy
ship. On his way he met a boy
with a whistle. Benjamin was so
charmed with the sound of it, that
he gave him all the money he had
for it.
On his return home, he went
whistling about the house, greatly
annoying his family. He at first
was very mucn pleased with his
bargain. Soon he learned what
a foolish mistake he had made.
After he had come to manhood
he remembered that experience.
When ever he saw anyone sacrific-
ing liberty, or virtue, or friends, in
order to secure popularity, he
would say, HE pays indeed too
much for his whistle. Whenever
he saw a good natured girl married
to a brute of a husband, he would
say, How sad, you have paid in
deed too much for your whistle"
How many times have we. like
Franklin, paid too much for our
whistle? 1t is very wise plan to
think very seriously about a mat
ter, before we undertake it; then
as we look back, we may not have
to say that we have paid too much
for our whistle.
