Former Kodiak High School Student Sends Greetings To '52 Class


 know that I not only speak for myself, but for the rest of the Class of '51. It's won derful to be remembered and fun to remember as I've found out being away from home. The school paper seems to be a very fine way to keep con- tact with ones old Alma l Mater" and it's activities. It's fin to see the names of those Eve once known and to try and picture them in my mind. It brings back many happy memories. Sometimes 1 find myself wishing I were back 1 in Kodiak and the many friends left behind me. Then I remember the goal I've set l ahead of me and that goal 1 must reach.
 Many changes have come
 into Kodiak High 1 under
 stand. Too bad I had to
 graduate in '51 instead of
 '52. (What say you, Seniors?)
 I don't know though, school
 without Mrs. G." would seem hard to imagine.
 The States seem to agree quite we'll with me and I've enjoyed every minute I've
 been here. (Even when I re-
 ceived my report cardD The
 college and all the profs and
 fellow Keukonians are really "tops". A lot of hard work involved (but one must ex. pect that) and 1 manage tc have some good times too, Right now I'm out on "fielc period'', something quite new in college curriculums, anc will go back to school or January 6. 1852. Very few colleges have the field period added to their curriculums
 and this is what like about Keuka. The college sends its
 girls out to work at different
 parts of the state or states and
 give credit for that work. The freshmen have to work on a reading commentary which is
 due in a month ones been
 home; this is part of their
 English grade. So, l have
 been hard at work and not on
 a "vacation" as some people
 have called it.
 I certainly would like to hear from any of you if you care to write me. After the 18th of this month you'll be able to find me at this address 33' N. Helmar Street, Dolge- vile, New York, where I'll be spending Christmas with my roommate. Then after the 9th of January, 1852 one will find me at this address: Box 296, Keuka College, Keuka Park, New York.
 If any of you know where any of the Class of '51 is and
 his or her address, l certainly
 would appreciate it.
 Best wishes and the best of
 1,ck to tho Class of '52.

Seventh Grade
Plan Changed

Champaign junior high school
will change It's schedule of classes
for seventh grade pupils next year,
reports Principal A. l.. Thomas
SOL.
The school will begin a larger
block of time arrangement of sub
jeets," Thomasson said. This is a
plan which places pupils with the
same teacher for two or three
class periods during which time
they study two or mare subjects.
Main reason for changing the
present set-up, the principal ex-
planned. Is that present research
shows that junior high pupils
should be under the direction of
one teacher for an extended period
of time in order to permit intimate
child study and guidance of each
pupil.
At least a double period per day
with the same teacher is required
according to present studies.
Keeping seventh grade pupils
with the same teacher for longer
periods each day. Thomasson said,
will help bridge the gap from ele-
mentary school 10 junior high

before they can take the forth
coming aptitude test, or before
their scholastic grades are out.
Students who score 10 OF better
in the test, or who are IN the upper
ranks enthusiastically, may be de-
ferfed IN order 10 resume their
education in the fall However,
many school terms end before the
test dates-may 26, June l6 and
June 30-and scholastic standings
often are not determined by col
leges for weeks after school Is out.
Hershey said also that the Kill
day amendment to the draft bill
passed Friday by the House lin
no way impairs our plans for giv-
ing the tests or using the scores"
The amendment says. in effect,
draft boards are not bound by the
aptitude tests in granting defer
ments.

with my family. But | don't know
yet whether we will live in the
United States permanently
don't want my children to suffer
from the same sort of discrimina-
ton 10 which | have 20 often been
subjected in the United tSates.
There are number Of other
American Negroes who have found
Spain haven of non-diserimina-
.ion and tolerance, Mr.. Hale ex-
planned. He believed that about
20 were living in the provinces.
While those in Madrid see each
other frequently they are not a
tightly-knit group because each has
his or her circle Of Spanish friends
who accept them without question
and there Is no necessity To live in
a particular quarter of town, as in
the United States, since they are
welcome everywhere.
Mr.. Hale was born and raised
as a Baptist, bat has been convert
ed to Catholicism since coming To
Spain.
He sald that the Church attract
ed him even in the United States
because Of its contention that all
men, no matter what their race or
nationality, were brothers and Of
equal merit before God. Soon
after he arrived In Madrid he met
A Spanish priest with whom he
became friendly and eventually
Mr.. Hale learned that his own
religious convictions and those
of the church conceded.
From there it was only short
step to ask my friend the padre
for instruction" be went on. "Now
that | am in the Church feel
much more content and happier IN
mind and spirit"

u. s. NEGROES IN SPAIN
FIND NO PREJUDICES
IL =. = n.

Madrid 49, lSpeciaD --- There is
small colony of American Ne
groes living here who have found
that in Spain color is no barrier
to acceptance in society and bust
ness.
"In Spain it is not q question of
tolerance for the Negro but COM
plete lack of distinction between
white and Negro. The color of
your skin just doesn't make any
difference to Spaniard, John
Barber Hale, Negro music COM
poser formerly of Atlanta, said.
Mr.. Hale said he has been liv-
ing in Spain since l045. He is
married TO pretty senorita and
they have two children.
From Washington SOUTH he
said, Negroes, as you know, must
eat in separate restaurants, travel
in separate sections of trains and
busses." he said speaking of the
United States. Here as you can
see can enter any hotel and trav-
el in any train without anyone OBJ
jecting."
The conversation took place in
the dining room of a fashionable
Madrid hotel. The writer had no.
ticed Mr.. Hale and his wife at a
nearby table and something about
his clothes and his carriage seem
ed to say that here was an Amer
lean. A question brought a smil-
ing affirmative reply and an In
yitation to Join the Hales for eof-
fee.
