What’s Going On At
Accomac High School
Dot White, Reporter
Same ole school, same ole day,
some ole reporter, but not the same
■ old news! Here we are with more
news from the Press Ra . . . Oh,
no, not from the Press Radio Bu
reau,” but from Accomac High School.
The newspapers and our school prin
cipals are on a “strike” (we'll call
it that) for more news and less
""stuff.” And why not? So just sit
up and take notice of what’s going
on here — given to you as it, as
■was, and as is to be!
Just a minute ’til I get my
thoughts collected. You know this
■past week-end has been quite a
strenuous one with all its dinner and
"coming out” parties, and to “cap
the climax," my assistant has taken
to the sick list — which I regret
very, very much. She’s in the hos
pital with appendicitis. Here’s wish-1
ing you a speedy recovery Mary,
the entire school — as well as I
— misses you.)
Here’s something that will interest
you all Pm sure. At last we have
booked another basketball game. We
played in Pocomoke, Wednesday
night, February 10 and these teams
■were just “rarin’ to go.” It’s the
first game we’ve had in ages and
the first one this season with Poco
moke teams. Both the boys and
girls went.
These seniors have really turned
out” this week. We have attended
court for two days. No, no, we
weren’t just ‘‘on a lark," we went
’with a very definite motive in mind
— to learn. In our Civics class one'
phase of the course takes up court
procedure, and we find that there's
no better way of learning than to
observe. So we attended the morn
ing session on Monday and the
morning and part of the afternoon
sessions on Tuesday. Speaking of
intelligence — why we feel that we
could well carry on a trial quite
'properly all by ourselves. (Kenneth
appoints himself “Jedge Melson”).
We conducted ourselves as only dig
nified (?) seniors can. Frances
smickered and giggled until Miss
Susie threatened to send her out (we
have to allow for her tho’ since she’s
only a "Silly Sophomore”). Your
■ reporter wanted to applaud when
•the verdict was given (thum dumb,
• I’ll thay!) Flora insisted on whis
, oering to a girl friend from Bloxom
who sat behind her. All of us laugh
• ed so at times that “order in the
court,” was called for. Bobby and
Simp picked at each other so that
■ they had to be separated. Aside
from these natural blunders — and
a few others — we believe that the
trip was quite worthwhile.
To add a finishing touch to our
"‘educational tour,” we were allowed
to visit the jail. While giving it
the “once over,” Dot W. decided to
know how it felt to look out the
barred window from the cell on the
front. The cell was empty so she
walked in and looked out. On turn
ing to leave, she found herself fac
ing a closed, barred door. Though
it was only a practical joke played
by the rest of the class, that sho’
was a “sinkin’ sensation” (sez 1).
• "The Freshman class presented the
chapel program Monday morning.
•The theme of the program was cen
tered on Abraham Lincoln since it
is his birthday on Friday. Mary
Iteveila Lilliston read a brief review
of his life and articles which have
been written about him by well
known authors were read by Francis
Figgs and Estelle Belote. To add to
the success of the program, Joe
1 White rendered a violin solo.
We have a number of pupils who
have made the honor roll for this
■ entire first semester. I'm sure you’ll
■ be interested in knowing who they
-'-»re
-'I uie nrsi grace—-jerry Javans,
Mary Mitchell, Nancy Mears. In
• the second grade—Malcolm Simpson,
Jane Edmonds. In the third grade
there -were none. In the fourth
grade—Roxie Grinnalds, Nellie Fran
tss Wessells, Verlie Mae Blackwell.
In the fifth grade—none. In the
'.sixth grade—Russell Harris. In the
'seventh grade—Franklin Davis, Flor
ence Byrd, Belma Gillikin. In the
eighth grade—Mary Frances Evans.
In the ninth grade—Walter Milliner,
Ceylon Short, Anne Mason. In the
tenth grade—Eleanor Davis. In the
•eleventh grade—Marie Lewis.
Now, here’s a grand chance for
everyone to turn out for an enjoy
able evening. The M. P. Churc!
of Parksley, is bringing a minstre
show here Thursday night, Febru
ary 18. It has already been givei
at Bloxom and Chincoteague and wa:
every bit a success—so we feel sun
' that it will go over quite as wel
there. The admission will be 35 am
i3B v cents. One-half of the proceed
- are Jor the benefit of the Girl
'“’Varsity Club; the other part for th
• benefit of the Parksley M. P. Church
'So doritt forget — Accomac Hig
School, Thursday night, February 1?
- Everyone likes a good minstrel show
Take a Peek‘
How about some thumb-nail r<
vviews of the “stuff” around here
-Jane and Belle became quite in
•
: portant as they made their “debuts'
; over the week-end. Evidently thi
party was a huge success, becaus<
, we still hear sighs from all direc
j tions — “Oh, I had such a gooc
j time.”... .Flora says she didn’t re
alize “our crowd” could have such a
good time together-Sis must stay
in for a month — she didn’t get

v^mncoteague High
School News
By Gene Holloway and James Quillen
Due to numerous and influential
requests, we take this time to inform
the public that the Chincoteague
High School News has been trans
ferred into a column of higher
standards. The familiar item Wise
( ?). Cracks has been entirely abolish
ed and original literature work will
be permanently substituted. We sin
cerely hope that the change will be
approved and be more beneficial to
the pubilc.
Contentment
Through nature’s woods we wander.
And stopping here and there,
We seek to find as no one has,
A tree, a bird, a flower.
A runnig stream, a rippling brook,
A path among the trees,
A spreaded elm, a towering pine,
All this a fellow sees.
As wandering on, we seem content,
To stay, and live, and love,
Among the pleasant things of life,
Beneath the sky above.
— Loretta Whealton, 1938.
Beauty
Beauty is not to be defined,
For there is beauty of soul,
And there is beauty of mind,
There is beauty of form,
And there is beauty of force.
But most of those of the human race
Can only see beauty in gold and lace.
They seldom ever stoop and peek,
Under ugly covers for beauty to seek.
They don’t realize, can’t get out of
the rut,
That the brightest diamond must
first be cut.
If you were going on a beauty hunt,
Would you look under the surface
Or just at the front?
There is a saying you may recall,
Don’t forget it in spring, summer
or fall
That “Beauty is only skin deep.”
Look close and be sure that what
you seek,
Isn't painted beauty, tawdy and
cheap,
Or the other fellow may the reward
reap,
By taking the beauty that didn’t pass
your test
And was really the finest and purest
and best.
Just keep in mind a story ages old,
“All that glitters is not gold.”
— Ruth Kopplin, 1939.
A Parody
All the World's a Stage
All the school’s a stage,
And all the kids and teachers mere
ly players.
They have their exits and their
entrances;
And one kid in his time plays many
parts,
His acts being four ages. At first
the Freshman,
Young and boisterous under his
teacher’s wing.
And then the Sophomore, with books
in hand,
Going unwillingly to class,
But the third stage shifts to the
Junior,
Who gets the honors and praise
By the teachers of the school.
The last scene, that ends this
strange eventful history,
The senior, with all his airs anc
, efforts
; To boss the school. Finally he grad
. uates,
I Sans manners, sans respect, sam
[ everything.
; — Charles Showard, 1938.
. (Editor’s note: Nothing could bet
, ter describe high school life.)
• All girls are like a stage,
i And all their fellows are merel;
players.
• They have their exits and entrances
And one fellow plays many foolisl
parts,
• The girls being of four types. Th
i- first the gold digger,
Breaking you and leaving you whe
your money’s gone:
Then the happy go lucky type,
Caring not whether you go or stay,
And with shining morning face, walk
ing very fast to get someone els<
Then the conceited type,
Laughing like a clown, trying t
make the fellows jealous.
Then the homelike type,
1 Trying to please the fellow each day
Learning to cook and sew,
Even if the bread they cook is a:
hard as a rock.
And when they sew your pants, thej
are too small.
All girls are the same,
Sans faith, sans truth and sans
brains.
— Darrel Watson, 1938.

High School News
Howdy Everbody. This is station
I N. C. H. S. bringing you the news
of the week.
On Friday, January 22, the
Junior-Freshmen Literary Society of
this school met in the auditorium
as usual. The meeting was called
to order by the president and “Long,
Long Ago”, was sung. The min
utes of the previous meeting were
read and approved. There was neither
old or new business. The meeting was
turned over to the secretary and the
following program was presented:
“The story of January” was read
by Norma Lee Hickman. “The Frost!
Comes” a poem, was read by Naomi I
Chatman. “Home on the Range”, was *
sung by Warner Lewers and Mary!
Jane Wilkerson. Following the duet!
Lois Gaskins read “Two Cases of1
Grippe”. “The Snow Strom”, a poemj
was read by Mary Nash. The meet-!
ing adjourned to meet again, Feb
ruary IS, 1937.
Well, last Wednesday, January 27,
our football team played the team of
Parksley High School. The game
was played at Parksley. In the first
quarter each team scored one toch
down. No other score was made so
at the end of the game the score
was 6 to 6.
The girls of this school played
baseball with the girls of Parksley
High. At the end of the seventh
inning the score was tied 11 to 11. j
Another inning was played, as custo
mary, to determine, the winner. So!
at the end of the eighth the score1
book showed that our girls would
be unable to bring home the bacon.!
The score was eleven to twelve in |
l'a rksley’s favor. !
So much for the football and girls
baseball.
There’s a certain gentleman around
the school here who answers to the
names of Miles. I’ll venture to men
tion his initial. They are P. N. Well,
it seems that during the rainy
weather we've been having lately,
Mr. Miles conceived a very brilliant
idea. According to his idea he was
going to be a millionaire, overnight.
So during the first rainy day at
school it seems that he got out
and started walking around in the
rain. He believes in taking every
thing literally. Finally he came back
in school. He was pretty well sat
urated with H20. Once inside he
began to give us a very effective
description of popular song writers
in general. This he did with a very
elaborate and fluent use of descrip
tive adjectives. He wound up his
oratory by condemning one certain
song writer to a mythical region of
intense thermal radiation. The one
he referred to was the one who
wrote “Pennies from Heaven.”
The Junior League of New Church
High School met in the auditorium
of the school on Thursday, February
4, 1937.
The meeting was called to order
and “Aunt Dinah’s Quilting Party”
was sung. Agnes Miles was elected
secretary of the league, a position
formerly held by Cynthia Ewell,
recently deceased. The minutes of
the previous meeting not having
been found and having neither old
nor new business the meeting was
turned over to the secretary. A re
port on the program was given by
Virginia Miles. The following pro
gram was presented: Shrove Tuesday,
by Hortense Kelly; Ash Wednesday,
by Naomi Chapman; Candelmas Day,
by Ernest Davis; Lincoln’s Birthday
by Walter Jones; St. Valentine’s Day,
by H. E. Kelley; Washington’s Birth
day, by Mary Louise Shields.
The meeting adjourned to meet
again March 4, 1937.
We’ll see you next week. Remem
ber, same time, same place.
In Memoriam
In loving memory of our dear
father, William H. Russell, who de
parted this life February 13, 1936.
To think we could not say goodbye
Willi always bring regret
But the hearts that loved you dear
]y
Are the hearts that don’t forget.
Your end was sudden Daddy dear
, You make us weep and cry
But Oh, the saddest part of all
You never said goodbye.
The flowers we place upon you:
grave
May wither and decay
But love for you who sleeps beneatl
Will never fade away.

My Hobby
To some people, the only way to
have a hobby is to have a large
collection of butterflies, buttons,
i stamps, or something of the sort.
Nevertheless, I have what I think
is one of the most interesting hob
bies there is and yet I have no col
lection. My hobby is reading.
Through my hobby I catch glimp
ses of every foreign country and
every type of person. When I was
younger I became frightened when
Red Riding Hood met the wolf, and
sympathetic with Little Black Sambo
when his clothes were taken by the
tigers.
| Later, when I read, “We,” I felt
j as if I was in the cockpit with
Charles A. Lindbergh making the
trip across the Atlantic with him,
and when I read “Microbe Hunters,” j
I imagined myself in the laboratory j
with Pasteur, Walter Reed, Koch, |
Spallanzani and other great scien- j'
tists. ,1
v/wict **uveulures i nave pursuea |
while sitting back and reading are j
many. I shivered in a graveyard, 1
an unwilling witness to a murder,!
as I read “Tom Sawyer.” Tears j1
filled by eyes when I learned of the j.
sudden death of Larry Foster in
“Larry.” I marveled at the geniuses
of such men as Thomas A. Edison,
Samuel F. B. Morse, Alexander Gra
ham Bell, William Marconi and
Wright Brothers in “American In
ventions and Inventors.”
My hobby is endless. As I go
along through life I will gain pleas
ure and knowledge each day. ‘
