GOULDs JUNIOR HIGH

Brotherhood week was observ-
ed by the Fifth Grade class, by
presenting an original dramatiza-
ton February In Review" This
dramatization was brought about
as result of much study and dis
cussion about all of the important
events that occur in February.
The purpose of the drama was
to create a deeper appreciation,
for the personalities who dedicat-
ed their lives that we may have
better America, and to know
more about the organizations that
were founded and observed this
month in order that we might
have a better way of life.
This drama was most colorful
and interesting. At the request of
many of the teachers little book
lets of the same are being made
for distribution.
The boys choir of r. r. Moten,
under the dictatorship of Miss
Juanita Wiley, rendered many
beautiful selections. These were
enjoyed and appreciated by every
one.
Troop 140 of Goulds Jr. High,

Our Juvenile Court Judqe

Last week was lucky for the popular bud"
Noyes Juvenile Court Magistrate-not only did he
receive signal honors for his outstanding work in
promoting better nter-faith Understandings but he
retained the position which he seemed slated to lose
because of his political affilation.
The award from the Montgomery Lodge Bnai
Birth for distinguishing himself in his impartial
treatment of youth of all races and creeds-for his
interest in young peoples problems. Regarding his
retention as magistrate quote The Evening Star of
Sunday which under the heading of "Wise Change of
Mindle had this to say:
Governor McKeldin of Maryland showed good
judgement in acceding to popular demands for the
reappointment of Alfred D. Noyes as Judge of
Montgomery County's Juvenile Court. The Governors
lastminute decision to abandon his plan for appointing
another Democrat to the judgeship averted mistake
that would have prompted charges of political
preferment at the expense of the judiciary. fI".
"It is true that Judge Noyes, prior to going to
the BENCH had been leader in Democratic politics in
the county result of which he had incurred the
animosity of many Republicans But he ceased active
political work when he became judge in 1945 His
record head of the Juvenile Court has won him the
comendaton of many of the countys civic groups and
citizens regardless of party
HE was one of the three recommended for the
udgeshp by the County Council and he had the support
of the county legislative delegation Yet the governor
for reasons not explained prepared to appoint
another man. Press reports to this effect stirred up
storm of protests to Governor McKedin who then
reversed his decision. 1t is reassurng to know that
petty politics did not prevail demonstrated merit
in this, important appointment" -,j ,..

the friendship of Americans, that

the warm, always surprising, al.

We leave, because we must, with

hopes that when we return in three

heartening friendliness right here

We shall always remember, af
