Sherwood
Projects
Seek Loot
By Bob Knowles

They say, Money is the root
of all evil" But no evil is COM
ing from any of Sherwood's lat
est crop of activities.
Rehearsals are in progress for
the one money-making project
the all school play by the Jes.
tiers, the drama club. This year
they are producing the Broad
way comedy, "The Solid Gold
Cadillac" Featured in the play
are a host of locally known
thespians, in clu din G JoAnn
Chandler, Lisa Taylor, Tom
Clark, Terry berwick, Mark
Lindley, Doug Thorne and
Bruce Smith. Also on the stage
are Bob Gurin, Sue Tydings,
Theresa Cole, Sam Bailey, Mary
Hertzog, Jim Lehman, Cindy
Farquar and Ellen Robertson.
The curtain goes up on Novem-
Der 16 and II.
The set for the play comes
from the second period art
class. They are making four
miniature sets patterned for
the play. One of the sets will
be made full size and used in
the play.
It's been proved, you can't
stop on a dime. In collaboration
with Nationwide Auto Insur-
ance, the students witnessed an
assembly on safety and a car
stopping demonstration recent
ly. With a specially rugged car
three guns shooting chalk on
the pavement, a mark when the
driver was told to stop, when he
applied the brakes, and when
the car stopped-senior high
students saw with their own
eyes how long it does take to
stop.
To practice stopping, as
well as all the other functions
of driving, the driver educa-
ton classes have a new car.
A Silver Spring auto dealer
ship is lOaning a 1868 auto for
practical driving experience.
Money came into the cashbox
for the Sherwood chapter of the
National Honor Society. Their
recent bake sale netted them
$67.55.

Nigerians Twist,
Says Wheatonite
BY Sue Tropin

The continent of mystery, Darkest Africa visited
recently by Mr. Paul L. Diggs, Wheaton High English
teacher and found quite different from the Hollywood
version of savagery and cannibalism.
Mr. Diggs taught inguistcs and English literature at
the University in Nsuka Nigeria The university is
just two years old and is of four universities OPEN
ing in Nigeria Students mostly Nigeran but there
few American British and group of exchange Dutch
and German students: the faculty is International

Harriette Royster and John
Thompson attended the first
meeting of the Teen-Age Safety
Council at Rockville recently.
Problems of the several high
and junior high schools safety
patrols and safety councils
were discussed and suggestions
were given to correct these
problems. Forthcoming events
received much discussion also.
Poolesville's representatives felt
the meeting was enlightening
on safety problems.
Montgomery County sentinel. [volume] (Rockville, Md.) 1855-1974, 1962-10-25

During his stay, Mr.. DiggS
lived in a development of
eight apartments, consisting
of six flats each. Each flat
had three floors and bal
cOny. In Eastern Nigeria, i'm
digenOus houses are made OF
clay or mud with matched
roofs. The university and
apartments were located in
valley surrounded by five vii
lagos atop towering noun
tains.
Small European cars are ia
vored for personal transporta
roads, named for the African
ton because many rough bush"
word forest, have to be
crossed in the interior of the
country.
The staple of the Nigerian
diet is yams, a vegetable SINH
lar to the potato which weighs
from five to forty pounds. Other
delicacies include mangos, papa
vas, and "egusi" stew, which
consists of melon seeds and
meats. The food is highly sea-
soned and much of its is inn
ported, Mr.. Diggs said.
Nigerian teenagers aren't
much different from those of
other parts of the world, he
said. Their favorite sports are
cricket, rugby, tennis, and rae
ing. Their version of the
Twist" is called High Life,
similar to a shuttle.
They also have various tradi-
tional ceremonial dances.
Art and music is an integral
part of African village life. Per-
cussion instruments are an inn
portant item in music ensem-
bles; percussion complicated
rhythms are a regular feature
of African music. Art is most
ly participatory and generally
religious in nature.
Education is extremely I'M
pOrtant in Nigeria. There are
many elementary and second
airy schools. Most of them are
private, some are missionary
schools, and a few schools are
government owned.
The British concepts of edu-
cation are favored, but there
is strong belief that Africa
must fashion an educational
system and philosophy to
meet the needs of Africa" OBJ
served MIR. Diggs. African
school children are "Obsessed
with getting an education"
They feel that an education
can be a passport to political
power" or any kind of job.
Elementary schools are con-
Quoted in nearby 200 vernacular
languages, but the students of
Nigeria mostly on English.
Then, in the fourth grade, they
switch completely to English, a
factor causing many students to
drop out of school. In order to
pass on to the next grade they
must learn 1900 Vocabulary
words the first year, 300 the
second year, and 600 the third
year.
Politically, Nigeria is now in
its first important constitutional
crisis, the outcome of that crisis
is awaited throughout West
Africa. Just how well a fedora
ton can succeed in Africa is a
question to which nobody has
an answer. Nigeria is striving
to convert from tribalism to
nationalism and to united three
states under one federal gov
eminent. However, despite this
political difficulty Nigerians
have an intense belief in sue
cess of the federation and in
the future of Nigeria. They
have no doubt that they are
participating in making a new
