If people who wer. counted
success in life, had to list the
things that influenced their
lives most-wonder where the
school would be listed. Probab-
ly the thing most would list first
would be their own intellect and
determination, then one of three
things would be listed next, the
home, church and school. Quite
often we think in terms of n
persons religion as detcrmininy
his character, his education as
determining his pay check. and
his home life as determining
his reputation. | believe that a
PERSONS success is determined
by religion and the home. but
education determines 10 what
extent. Religious experiences
dccpcns with the persons abil-
ity TO look at life and under
stand more about life. The
homes are direct products of the
two parents. Their outlook on
life is inherited by their chill
drcn.
Speaking of education. the
Green Sea scholarship fund was
glad to get Sl4O from the two
performances of the faculty
play, who's Crazy Now" AT
the same time, we were some
what disappointed because Of
the lack of interest on the parts
of those who did not attend.
Wonder if they have much faith
in what higher education can
do? Or aren't they Interested in
helping a deserving student OBJ
tain a higher goal, thereby
building up the standards of the
community. Anyway, hats off
to those who were in the play
and those attending.
OF course a school is only as
good as its teachers and stu
dents. One student who is TAX
ing the opportunity of helping
make Green Sea a good school
is Hazel Coates. Hazel is the
winner of the 9Th grade spelling
bee held Feb. 20, 1856.
She is the daughter of MIR.
and Mrs. j. w. Coates Route ..
Box 1873, Tabor City, N. c. The
champion Speller is Is years old.
HazelS next competition will
be in the county contest which
viii be held the middle of
March.
One of our good teachers. who
is concerned with making Green
sea better school, will not be
with us for the next few days.
mat teacher is Mrs. j. r. Gore
GOOD because she loves stu
dents and has their welfare at
heart. DiSobeying the doctors
orders for two weeks rest. she
directed 4 talent show so the
Glee Club might have robes next
year. Sh" also gave two por-
iormanccS OF the play so that
some student Will have a better
chance to continue his rduca-
non. After the play. she Was
taken to the hospital for surg
cry.
The teacher with the most I'M
usual job around Green Sea is
Mrs. Dorcthca Hardw!ck. the
piano teacher. Instead of teach
ing at one school. she teaches at
three. Green Sea elementary.
Green Sea High and Williams
