Douglass


Spirit is running high among the
students and teachers at Douglass
as we swing into the latter stages
OF the school year. 1t seems that
the Dorothy Ellison Concert was a
much needed shot in the arm for
everybody.
On last Wednesday night Super
intendent O'Bryant visited with the
P. T. A. and gave a very inspiring
and encouraging talk to the group.
This, incidentally, was Mr.. O'Bry.
ants first meeting with the Dou-
glass P. T. A. Also this week, the
announcement was made to the eff
feet that the Carnival would be
held March IS and 10 of next week.
This is a lively affair which our
students look forward to with
much enthusiasm. ...
On the other side of the ledger,
two incidents occurred which tend
ed to dampen spirits at Douglass.
First, someone broke into the
school building and pillaged the
principals office during the week
end. This, we feel, was done with
the belief that a Sizeable, quantity
of money had been left in the of
flee. However, the intended burg
lar was disappointed for money is
never left in the school overnight.
Secondly; on Monday afternoon, a
small child (second srade) enter.
ed the school-bus and set fire to it.
This completely destroyed the in
terror of the bus and did consi-
derable damage to the shopbuild-
ing.
While the loss to the school and
county was great enough, it is
sheer luck that this little student
did not lose his life. For he had en-.
tered the bus through a broken
window. Had be become excited or
trapped in the bus, he would have
persisted.
This points up the ever pressing
need for closer supervision of our
school children during the after
school day. We must make sure
that they are at home, or under
the supervision of someone author
lied. Otherwise, we could face a
sad event" most any day. Any

dren, and have to find . good
school for them and somewhere to
live, who can understand their pro
blems better than another Navy
wife? So the Navy Wives Club.
2. We are organized to promote
welfare, social and educational
programs for the Navy wife and
her family.
3. Clubs can be found in nearly
every town where Navy is found.
We even have clubs in outlaying
countries such as Alaska, Honolulu,
French Morocco, Puerto Rico, and
Cavite, P. I.
4. You ask, "who can Join this
organization?" Wives of enlisted
men of the Navy Marine Corps
and Coast Guard and Reserve
Units of these services. Wives Of
enlisted men honorably discharged,
retired or transferred into Fleet
Reserve, widows of enlisted men
honorably discharged.

Shipmates:
Did you know there 10 q won
derful organization called the Ma
Wy Wives Clubs of America?
In the early thirties a group OF
women got together and formed a
club, others in nearby cities did
the same, for the sole purpose Of
entertainment, and to help the Ma
Wy wife over the lonely hours when
her sailor boy was away. A few
of the original members thought
why not charter and have a Ma
tional Navy Wives Club" which
they did in 1886. Believe me, it has
mushroomed in the years and is
now an up and coming Organi-
cation.
Here are some of the reasons
why you wives should join a To-
cal group:
