Bonnie Sue By MARJORIS COOLEY and MORRIS BRILL The Student Christian Association at Lambuth has in past years sponsored a religious emphasis week on campus. The year the A has inaugurated Religious Emphasis Month. Each week various services, plays, programs and discussion groups will be held. Dr.

Wayne Dehoney opened the Religious Emphasis observance by speaking at the regular chapel hour Wednesday morning. Introduced by the Rev. Harold McSwain after scripture reading and prayer, the Rev. Mr. Dehoney spoke on the text, "Behold, I have set before thee an open door." He stated that life opens and also closes many doors but there are three open doors that can never be closed.

The open door to a great character was his first point. The door to physical greatness may be closed but the door to moral and spiritual greatness is never closed. Any person may be as pure, as clean, as good as he determines to be. "The door to a great cause is always open. We may not be able to open a dark continent, to make a startling discovery or invention, but the door to the' greatest cause of all is open to us the service of Christ in the church.

"There is an ever open door to a great Christ and to fellow- Jackson High By NANCY GREEN If you had visited Jackson High the latter part of the week you would have noticed a decided change in the nature of the three classes. The usually quiet sophomores acted as if they were very experienced in high school life, and the usually-loud seniors very meek. (That was really a change!) There was a reason for this reversal in attitude the sophomores had beaten the seniors nearly sixty points In the contest of basketball attendance, and they definitely did not keep it a secret. The juniors came in close behind the sophomores and had the fun of at least beating the seniors still feel sheepish about tagging so far behind in the race. Wednesday the Dramatic Club had one of the most entertaining programs to be presented at school this year.

Wayne Johnson was the narrator of the live presentation, "This Is Your Life Jimmy Seely." The funniest thing about it was that Jimmy was as surprised as everyone else. Many people thought that Wimp Milam should receive an "Oscar" for the talent he displayed as Jimmy's wife. Others taking part in the life story were Carol Flake, Walter Reed, Charlotte Jones, Loraine Martin, Judy Jones. Pat Terry, Joy Travis, Linda Hawks. Have you checked today to see of your family car.

In cooperation with the Exchange Club Crime Prevention Week, which was observed last week, hubcap mark ing began at Jackson High last Thursday night. This program is sponsored by the student council, and for only one dollar four hubcaps can be engraved with a small number on the in side of each. A record, which is given to the police depart ment, is kept of these numbers and the owner's name.

A crime prevention committee headed by Bill Stov 11 will be at the school parking lot every Thursday night from 7 to 9 p. m. until March 6. Won you be responsible for bringing your family car and protecting it against hubcap theft? Also in connection with Crime Prevention Week, Hewit Tom-lin Jr. Jackson attorney, spoke to the entire student body Thursday about a new approach to the old problem of juvenile delinquency.

Mr. Tomlin's talk was interesting and informative, and many students accepted his challenge to prevent as much delinquency within our own age group as possible. Thr following sophomore and junior girls were selected by their Tri-Hi Y's to attend the Youth in Government meeting in Nashville: Marilyn Moore, Kay Bynum, Brenda King, Becky Reed, Linda Mayfield, Janet Carlton, Linda Wheat, Bonnie Jones, Anna Reed, Rosemary Milstead, Mary Frances Summar and Susan Hymers.

Joseph Manch, i tendent of Schools of Buffalo. N. Y. Troubled as most educators have been for years over the antisocial antics of hoodlum-garbed youngsters, Dr. Manch noted that badly behaved youngsters almost always dressed the part.

If tough clothes contribute to West High By GWEN MANLEY West High welcomes three ad ditional faculty members, Mrs Marjorie Benson and Mack T. Barnet of the Social Studies De partment, and Rudolph McCul- ley of the Physical Education Department. We would also like to wel come our student-teachers Miss Shirley Whitmore, whose major is mathematics and Rochelle Brown who is majoring in Health and Physical Education. Both are seniors at Lane. We are happy to know that Miss Taylor, Mrs.

Marshall, Mrs. Helen DeBerry and Mr. Spicer, who are members of the faculty, have recovered from their colds and the flu and are back in school with us. Many of our students have been absent for the same reason. The Charm Clinic held at West High February 6 and 7 was a great success according to the reaction of the students and the report from the Evaluation Committee.

Current on Campus: Merry High By PAULINE COBURN The "Miss Debutante Ball" is in the air again and from Merry High School have been chosen some very beautiful and talented young ladies to run for "Miss Debutante." Young ladies from other parts of West Tennessee have been chosen also. The young ladles from Merry High are Gertrude Jones, Gar-line Long, June Carter, Gladys Wilkes, Annie Springfield, Evelyn Randolp, Nancy Grimes, Earline Thomas, Betty Cherry, and Marion Baker. We hope that one of these young ladies will be "Miss Debutante." The Sophomore English class members were all excited as they returned from their literary trips around the world to scenic and interesting spots of America, Canada, Alaska, the Far East, France, England, and Latin America. They displayed keen interest in comparing the strange customs, various religions, striking school differences and certain plant and animal life with that in Amer ica. Posters, pictures, costumes and exhibits lent atmosphere to their imaginery travels, inter-class visiting added to the enthusiasm.

Principal Berry, Miss Irma Robinson, W. P. Newbern and Mrs. Anna Cooke were faculty members who looked in. Mrs.

Maggie K. Smith is the instructor of these classes. On Monday night at St. Paul Church the highest award in exploring was received by Scout Robert M. Bowman Jr.

"urrent on Campus: South Side By LINDA JENNINGS A salute to Frankann Naef, a senior at South Side, and Rosa-lee Jennings who graduated last year. Their picture with former county 4-H club leader Miss Sue Baldridge recently appeared in the nationally known magazine "Seventeen" The Stan Fields Athletic Table Tennis Show was presented at South Side last week.

Stan Fields and his assistant Bob Ashby are both champs in this sport. They told the history behind the sport and proceeded to show the rules of the game. A hot game be tween the two then took place with Stan Fields taking top score. Then some of the South Side experts got a chance to play. David Fisher first played Bob Ash-by, winning the game.

Of course David had a good lead to begin with. Kenny Fisher and Stan Fields played a game against A. G. Kenner and Bob Ashby. Since this is Crime Prevention Week, the students of S.

S. were favored with a talk by attorney Jack Woodall. sponsored by the Exchange Club, This was a national project but we know we must have had the best speaker of all. He told of the Boy Scout movement in this district, and we should be proud of the organization preparing these boys to be better citizens thus elimanating a lot of juvenile delinquents. The fact that South Side has a lot of good talent has already been proven but Elaine Wyatt proved the point further when she walked off with a beautiful test.

She sang "Chances Are" and did an excellent job of it. Someday we hope to see her name high in the entertainment world. An announcement was made a weeks ago about the boys who won the Golden Gloves Tour nament from South Side and last week Terry Robinson went on to jwin the title at Memphis. We are really proud of Terry! A contest has been going on since the first of the year. This contest was to name the eating place being built just down the highway from South Side.

Principal Jack Brown made the announcement last week that Sandra Morgan christened it "Chat and and won the $25 bond. Monday night the Hawkettes fell to Covington by four points. The Hawks took their victory, Tuesday night coach Wayne Jones played his team of girls a gainst Jackson's team and we took the victory, What a rest the South Side Hawkettes got! They came back Wednesday night and took their first victory in the tournament over Bolivar by quite a margin. A kind of oddity a happen ing that usually has been the opposite: When Jackson played on the S. court they won, then when we journeyed there Tuesday night our Hawks took the victory.

A lot of midnight oil has been used this week because of the six week tests we're having even though we have tried to absorb all that our teachers and books have been teaching us. Here's hoping the best for everybody. Warm Spel HONITON, England UP) Primroses and wild strawberries are being picked in midwinter in this Devon communi-they.

The Thursday evening Student Christian Association meeting will be led by a group of students from Memphis State University. We are expecting the Religious Emphasis Month to do a great deal for us as we put ourselves into it and realize the over-all theme, "Still He Calls." After "Arms" A small but most appreciative audience enjoyed a superb production of "Arms and the Man" earlier this week. The Dublin Players presented George Bernard Shaw's masterpiece of satire with such finesse that gales of laughter rang through the auditorium throughout the evening. The performers worked with a minimum of scenery and props but exquisite costumes and fine performances on each actor's part made the Dublin Plavers first appearance in Jackson most successful.

After the play, members of the cast and some members of the Lambuth Theatre were feted at a social hour and breakfast at the home of Charles Burnley on Trenton Road. John Kelley, jovial member of the cast, made himself completely at home as he proved his prow-ness at the culinary art. Informal conversations were the most popular pastime until the radio suddenly Dlurted out some of the folk music we commonly call hill-billy. Almost as a chorus the Irish-accented cast said. "Oh listen! Hill-billy." Of course the inevitable happened.

A big discussion of "Hill-Billy" and other types of music came up and both groups were amazed at the similarity of tastes in popular music. Much sooner than onyone would have liked, good-byes were said and another experience of Lambuth life was history. EAGLES Continuing to play all out of town games.

Dr. Manch reasoned, then neat, civilized clothes should help bring better behavior and improved attitudes.

The Buffalo Inter-High School Stuednt Council liked this theory, too, and put it to the test. Conduct did improve attitudes did change for the better. A study of the first year's operation of the plan in the 14 Buffalo high schools proved the point. And, learning this, hundreds of other schools chiefly high schools are now trying the same plan. Such campaigns, for the most part, are initiated and run by the students themselves, through their councils or G.O.'s general organizations.

The American Institute of Men's and Boys' Wear exhibit at the NASSP convention-features an array of charts, posters, fashion show scripts and program guides that the Institute makes available to all interested schools without charge.
