TchuIo Studium Home
Punthers

The Tchuia scnool and COM
munity are proud of their lighted
football field and stadium. This
field has been constructed and
paid for in one year. This project
was undertaken by the Lions
Club. With the help of other or
CARNATIONS and citizens of the
community, this project has been
finished. 1t is one of the best
lighted fields in the state, having
a seventy five kilowatt lighting
system and bleachers to seat well
over three hundred. This field
is the home of the ''Tchula Pam
TIERS" Tchula's football team.
The, Tchula team is a light and
inexperienced one, having only
three regulars return from last
years squad. The others are
freshmen with little or no ex-
perience. They have great con-
fidence in themselves and have
the possibilities of a good team.
The football team is just n of
their seasons sport teams.
Tchula is one of the few schools
in Holmes county that have a
full program in all sports. Tchu-
la has football, basketball, and
baseball for the boys. 1t has bas-
ketball, softball, and soccer for the
girls. The school plans to have a
well developed physical education

The present Administration
building of the Tchula Public
School plant was erected during
the term of Supt. Martin Hemp
hill and was planned by the ar
chitect's firm Of Mccoy and
Moore of Greenwood, and is be-
yoRd doubt one Of the best plan
ned buildings in all Mississippi.
Even today, Is years later, with
all that has been learned about
school buildings during the years,
but very few changes have been
needed to make the building mo-
dern in every respect. Today it
is one of the finest and most up
to-date school buildings to be
found anywhere. The value of
this magnificent school plant, in
Guiding the recently erected gym
nasium, is at least $250,000.
Tchula Public schools have been
fully accredited by the state for
as long as they have existed. Six
teen years ago the High School
became a member of the Southern
Association Of Colleges and Sec
ondary Schools and has maintain
ed its membership in this organi-
cation continuously ever since.
This membership means that its
graduates may enter any college
or university in the country with
out examination. The Elemen-
tary School has a double A (AA)
rating which is the highest rating
given to elementary schools in
Mississippi. OF the 781 elemen-
tary schools in Mississippi only
81 have the AA rating and Tchula
Elementary School is one of the
81.
The schools are stated by a
corp of well trained teachers. All
of the 16 except 2 have n or
more degrees from standard Col
leges or Universities. They have
years of experience and study in
their special fields and are pre-
pared to do a splendid job.
Besides the core studies of
reading, writing, arithmetic, En-
glish, history, spelling and science
| students also are taught public
| school, piano, band music, home
making, tipping, bookkeeping and
physical education.
A recent improvement program
costing some thousands of dol
lars has made the Tchula School
plant one of the most ~up-to-date
schools in the state. The entire
interior has been finished in scien-
tific, easy to look at colors that
| combine restfulness and adequate
lighting. An entire new scieti-
| fically shaded flourescent light
ing system has been installed
throughout the Administration
building and desk-top candle
power has been raised from 5 foot
candles to IS foot candles. Con-
crete walks have been built, a new
kitchen and cafeteria is in the pro-
cess Of construction, and the low
west side playground has been fill

 Army's Black Knights of the Hudson, second to Notre Dame in the current standings, are setting the point-production pace among the leaders with a total of 267 in six games, an average of ALA per Saturday.
 The Fighing Irish have regis tered l97 in five games, an aver age of 39 plus. while the third ranked Sooners have 229 in six games, a bit over 38 for each af- ternoon's sport.

Rescue Tiny Tot Unhurt From Deep Cistern Pipe

AUSTIN, Tex. (P) - Sli 2 h { scratches on the face and side were the only physical reminders Saturday that Bobby Andrew Cow, a tiny 3-year-old, was imprisoned three hours Friday deep in cis- tern pipe.
 Bobby, whose 26-pound body dropped from view at PAS pm. just 50 feet from his back door, step, was reported in good shape at Breckenridge hospital.
 Maybe he owed his life to quick-thinking 12-year-old John ny Schneider. It was Johnny who shouted the alarm when Bobby slipped feet first into the aban- doned pipe.
 Bremen and policemen were on the scene in 10 minutes. Civilian volunteers rolled in.
 A steam shovel went into action and less than three hours later Bobby was removed after the pipe had been cut. When rescuers reached him, Bobby was standing on dry ground at. a depth of IS feet.
 Bobby is one of three children of Mir. and Mrs. James Cow, both 35. The father said he had covered the pipe and did not understand how the children had loosened the heavy cover.

Girl Scouting In Nome

This week the Girl Scouts are celebrating their 37th Anniversary of Scouting. Girl Scouts were just organized in Nome, January, 1914, when Mrs. Vernon Booker, wife of Rev. Booker, pastor of the Feder- ated Church, organized a group of girls for the purpose of forming the first Girl Scout troop in Nome.
 It was in May of "A that the girls were recognized as Girl Scouts. A dedication service was held in the social room of the Fed erated Church where the girls Wishig to become scouts, held a part in the service. Many of the townspeople were present to wit ness the initiation. The first Girl Scout committee was composed of Mrs. Luther Dunbar, Mir. William Angell and Mrs. Wilfred Boucher.
 After Mrs. Booker's departure, Mrs. Glen Muncy was the first of ficial leader. She did not have an assistant. and held the position for two years after which Mrs. Willard had charge during Mrs. Muncy's vacation to the States. Upon her return, Mrs. Muncy as sisted by Mrs. Bud Richter again resumed the position. Succeeding her was Mrs. Paul Vaudeville, leader for a year. After her reSig- nation, Miss Marie Reedy was ap- pointed leader and Miss Lois Mor- gan as assistant. Tn 1948 Mrs. M. Staudemeyer took over aided by Mrs. T. Peterson.
 It was very fortunate in l948 that the Girl Scouts had for their first Sponsors, the Officers Wives of Marks Air Force Base.
 Due to the transferring of Mrs. Staudemeyer and Mrs. Peterson, they have some new leaders taking over the different groups of Scouts according to ages. Mrs. Gallagher has charge of the Senior Scouts, Mrs. Carl Glavinovich the older intermediate group and Mrs. Paul Galloway the Junior Intermediate girls. A Brownie Troop has been recently organized by Mrs. Urich, teacher of the third grade. They are very grateful to Mrs. Browning, Girl Scout executive, for helping us to better organize the troop and for giving us ideas.
 The first enrolment of girls was 14 members, but now enrolled are forty-tWo members.
 Every summer since the Scouts have been organized, they have s. {. .s..s .s, ,.. ', =.

 They have had several cookie sales and in 1949 they held a ba- zarre for the public which was very well attended. They made S51190, most of which went tow ards fixing their camp. They also have many good times together at they various parties.
 The Girl Scouts wish to thank one and all of those who helped to make them what they are today They especially want to thank the Girl Scout committee for their fine work in keeping the Scouts going.

CLEVELAND, P)-CIO Presi- dent Philip Murray indicated Sat urday he was ready to rid his la bor union federation of all pro communist groups.

Arctric IndOctrina- ton School Starts Third Year

The Arctic IndOctrin O n School opened for the third con- SecutiVe year on October 29, l949. The school was first founded in August, 1947 at Marks Air Force Base under the supervision of MT. (then Capt) Harry E. Strong. Dur ing, and immediately after the war, the Air Force realized the need for some sort of school to teach survival techniques to it's men. The small percentage of air crew members that were surViv- ing crashes became serious mat ter to the Air Force. It wasn't the crash casualties, they were un- avoidable, it was the men who froze, or starved to death after they had survived the initial acci- dent. The most glaring incident of all was the case fthe "Clobbered Turkey" a B-29 that crashed some time ago and whose entire crew perished. Crew members used the bed rolls dropped to them as back rests, never attempted to get inside and keep warm, and they froze to death.
 Survival in the Arctic isn't as hard as most people think. It is mostly a case of keeping your wits about you and making use of ev- erything that comes to hand and in keeping warm and dry. The School teaches these life-saving techniques, both in class room and in the field.
 Class room work consists of lec- lures, movies, Arctic travel, con- struction of shelters and the inn 1 portance of clothing and how to wear it.
 Barren land survival is reckon ed to be the most difficult of all, because of the almost total lack of natural aids. As in the bush coun- try, there aren't any trees or bush es to use in making shelters and fires. Everything must come from the emergency kits of the doWned men. All shelters must be built either with snow or material taken from the crashed plane, or a cobination of both. Snow shelters are of several types; snow houses, snow hole, snow cave and snow 1 trench. Each is best suited to a | specific situation and the students of the School are taught how to build all types. They are sufficient for warmth and shelter against l the elements.
 At present there are 34 person. nel attached to the School. 25 of which are instructors, the remain ing 9 being administrative per 1 sonnel. Major Robert N Fash, is co. of the School.
 Clothing. however, is the most important item of all. It's not the amount of clothing that matters, but how you wear it. The layer system, providing insu i a o n through trapped layers of air be- tween the clothing, has been proven best over year sof experi- ence.
 By teaching and training air men how to care for themselves and their equipment-after a | forcer landing, the Arctic Indoc- trin9tiOn School has foStered a mo-
