Quotations
You know, the other day I was just thinking of how many of our famous quotations fit people in our class. Once James Stephens said,”
“If a person desires to be a humorist it is necessary that the people around him should be at least as wise as he is, otherwise his humor will not be comprehended.”
The first person that came into my mind when I read that was David Hamrick. In a way, I think, that suits him.
Barbara Eagle came into my mind when I read Louisa Fletcher’s words:
“I wish that there were some wonderful place, called the land of Beginning Again.”
In a way that fits almost everyone. Don’t you agree Mrs. Griffith?
This one fits Jim Manning perfectly. This was said by Max Eastfelt:
“I don’t know why it is we are in such a hurry to get up when we fall don. You might think we would lie there and rest a while.”
Pete Gibson is a good example of this quotation from Kahlil Gibran:
“Work is love made visible. And if you cannot work with lovebut only with distaste, it is better that you should leave your work and sit at the gate of the temple and take alms of those who work with joy.”
This quotation goes to Ruby Lee and Danny with my compliments—from Anna Wickham (Mrs. Patrick Hepburn):
“The true male never yet walked who liked to listen when his mate talked.”
I’ll bet he wouldn’t admit it now, though.
I hope this doesn’t make David Wilson mad, but this quotation fits him to a “T”.
This is it, Dave, as written by Cuppy:
“The Dodo never had a chance. He seems to have been invented for the sole purpose of becoming extinct and that was all he was good for.”
This quotation is for the whole senior class—from Clifford Bax:
“Count me not with those that whine—For what is over—All that once was good is good for evermore.”
This is for Rosa Gibson. She eats as if her work was catching better. Quoted from Roy Helton:
I knowed in a minute:
Never learnt nothing
From then till today:
Nothing worth larning
Nothing worth knowing,
I’m bound to the hills
And I can’t get away.
Can you guess who this quotation from George Gissing is dedicated to?
“Education is a thing of which only the few are capable; teach as you will only a small percentage will profit by your most zealous energy.”
Huh, Mrs. Griffith?
Noteworthy Choice Made By Widen Senior Class
A most note-worthy achievement has been accomplished this year which we think should be brought to the attention of everyone.
The Senior Class of 1958-59 has broken the past tradition of senior classes; they are being selfless, unselfish, and cooperative. The seniors of this year have considered the feelings of each person connected with Widen High School and the community before making their own plans.
We feel they have established a good conduct record which will remain the standard of all senior classes in the future.
The seniors have abandoned going on the senior trip because of working and money problems of the community. They are donating their surplus money to the hot lunch program. The seniors also gave a St. Valentine’s Day benefit dance for the lunch program.
In view of these facts we pass along to the Senior Class a well deserved compliment on achieving adulthood before graduation.
STUDENTS TO ATTEND CONVENTION, MAR. 2
Lora Wilson and Kyle Barnette will represent Widen High School at annual “Know Your State Government Day” in Charleston, Monday, March 2, from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. The students will be accompanied by Mr. Robert O. Leeson, history instructor.
The annual “Know Your State Government Day” conference is sponsored by the W.V.E.A. Citizenship and International Relations Committee have met with success. This project offers an excellent opportunity to bring students into direct contact with governmental processes.
Ruby Lee Rapp Wins Homemaker Of Tomorrow
Our school’s 1959 Betty Crocker Homemaker of Tomorrow is Ruby Lee Rapp.
She received the highest score in a 50-minute written examination on homemaking knowledge and attitudes taken by graduating senior girls. She will receive a homemaking pin manufactured by Josten’s, which represents the slogan, “Home is Where the Heart Is.” Her examination paper will be entered in competition with those of other school winners in the state to name the state Betty Crocker Homemaker of Tomorrow.
The test is designed and judged by Science Research Associates.
Each state Homemaker of Tomorrow will receive a $1,500 scholarship from General Mills, and will be given a trip with her school advisor to Washington, D. C., colonial Williamsburg, Va., New York City and Minneapolis, and she will be a candidate for the title of All-American Homemaker of Tomorrow. The school of each state winner will receive a set of the Encyclopedia Britannica. General Mills will award a $500 scholarship to each state runner-up.
Winners are being chosen for 12,260 schools throughout the nation, which enrolled 349,150 senior girls, the largest number of participants in the five-year history of this $106,000 scholarship program. Growth has been steady since 1955 when 187,463 girls in 8,040 schools participated.
The 1959 All-American Homemaker of Tomorrow will be announced in Minneapolis April 10 at the American Table Dinner in the Leamington Hotel’s “Hall of States.”
The scholarship of the All-America Homemaker of Tomorrow will be increased to $5,000. The national runner-up will receive a $4,000 grant, third place winner a $3,000 award and fourth place winner a $2,000 scholarship.
