FOREWORD - - - - -
In this, the graduation issue of the School Helper, it has been the desire of the editors to reflect the school year of 1953-54 in such a way that tl.ris volume will be ,interesting, not only to the members of the Senior Class, but also to every other one who through the years has shared our school spirit of friendship and oneness of purpose which has made itself felt in victories on the athletic field, in vocational and academic pursuits, in campus activities, and in the pictures that will forever linger in our memory.
H this volume can provide a storehouse for cherished memories; if it Liin strengthen the golden thread of friendship that binds our school family together; and if it can show to the public the steady progression upward and the continued forward reach of our school, it shall have fulfilled the mission on which we send it.-The Staff

Dedication
The biography of MfS. Elizabeth Freeman Simmons is one long story of unselfish love 'which has been converted into fruitful service joyfully rendered that the deaf of Georgia might have a more abundant life.
Mrs. Simmons is the daughter of the late Reverend Samuel M. Freeman who for over forty years' was a teacher in the Georgia School for the Deaf, and whose name is indelibly written in the lives of the deaf people of Georgia.
Mrs. Simmons inherited in a generous degree the many noble qualities which made her father the outsta,nding minister, teacher, and leader of his day. She has never faltered in the sacred trust left her by her father, but is bravely and tenderly carrying on the work that was so dear to his heart-continuous service to the deaf of our land.
The choice a few years ago of Mrs. Simmons as a member of our faculty, was one of those happy events in which a wonderful opportunity was opened before one whose entire life seemed to have been a preparation for the duties she was to assume.
Mrs. Simmons retired at the close of school last year, but we shall ever feel the influence of her rare personality, lovable, gracious, cultural, sympathetic, understanding, and cooperative.
Mrs. Simmons, as we respectfully and lovingly dedicate this graduation issue of the School Helper to you, we give you the admiration and appreciation of each member of the Class of 1954 and wish for you the joys that crown a well-spent life.

Mrs. Elizabeth Freeman Simmons
SHE LIVES A LIFE What is her creed? We do not know her creed; we only know That here below, she walks the common road And lifts many a load, lightens the task, Brightens the day for others toiling on a weary way: This, her only meed; we do not know her creed. What is her creed? We never heard her speak Of visions rapturous, of Alpine peak Of doctrine, dogma, new or old: But this we know, she is forever bold To stand alone, to face the challenge of each day, And live the truth, so far as she can see-The truth that evermore makes free. Her creed? We care not what her creed; Enough that never yields she to greed, But serves a brother in his daily need; Plucks many a thorn and plants many a flower' Glorifie the ervice of each hour: Ha faith in God, herself, and fellow-men; Perchance she never think' in terms of creed; We only know she live a life, in deed!

MOTTO
No Labor, No Victory (Non Labor, Non Palma)

Here is our motto our steps to guide, Wherever we roam in this world so wide-At home or abroad its words we'll heed, And live it forever that all may read.

COLORS Navy Blue and White

These are our colors-just these two, And to our colors we'll ever be true. When years have turned our hair to gray Then sweet the memory of these colors today.

FLOWER White Rose

Here is our flower so fresh and gay, The emblem of our class today; And may our lives like this blossom be, As pure and sweet and fair to see.

TREE Willow ak

We asked that we might plant a tree To cast a shadow cool for thee. A glorious tree to bless the weary earth, A monument of vital worth!

CLASS HISTORY

There was a time when the members of this class had before them a long and difficult climb, but now we go merrily on our way and will soon appear on graduation day fresh and rosy-looking.
It is true that some great changes have occurred since that far off September morning when we first came to dear old G. S. D. We did not know one another very ell then, and we had to find out by slow degrees that each one of us is always ready to go fi hing whenever someone else will dig the bait, fix the lunch, carry the fishing poles and paddle the boat for us.
Some interesting thing that we have found out about one another just at sight are:-that Franklin Dyess is the tallest boy, and that Ann Thompson is the smallest girl; that Franklin Bagley ha beautiful red hair; that Guy Jones can't coax his mou tache to grow; that Louise Wilson is wearing an engagement ring; that Fain Griffin has been at last very badly bitten by a love bug; that Richard Brewer is the most polite boy; th'at Gene Lanier is intere ted in building a house for two; that Junior Galloway has learned the secret of how to keep from falling in love; that Juanice Dukes would like to live at Alapaha, Georgia; that Laura Ann Bri,:lman is the best cook; that Wynell Godwin knows how to save money better than anyone else; that Betty Brown thinks Lindale, Georgia is a beautiful place to build a home; and that Rosemary Smith thinks that before very long she will change her name.
From the first day that this fine group of boys and girls made their appearance in the halls and on the campus of the Georgia School for the Deaf until now, very near their graduation day-they have tried to obey the rule and to make their school proud of them.
Perhaps it would be interesting to listen to the roll call of this clas .

CLASS POEM

This school has had a model class, With faces all aglow,
And minds of splendid quality That rapidly did grow.
Week after week, year in and year out, These boys and girls went to school,
Where they were very studious, And never broke a rule.
They worked their math rapidly, And learned other lessons with zest,
And when examinations came Stood high in every test.
The girls were charming and polite, And fair '.as they could be;
The boys were brave and handsome As any you would see.
,
Each soon became a famous Freshman; Time did' not hesitate,
At last the d<;ly came rolling 'round When they should graduate!!
And we, our friends, are that fine class Of famous minds and graces;
Do not doubt a moment; just look at usYou'll see it in our faces.

Dear friends, who here with us have met, It is decreed that our worthy class,
Soon must leave this happy scene, And to higher realms of life shall pass.
We have faithful been, the rules we've kept. So well we've tried our tasks to do,
We've studied while some others played, And now, alas, they say we're through.
Of course we're proud, and yet we grieve, That from this school we each must part.
It never seemed so fine as now: When we must make our parting bow.
This school has been the happy scene Of many, many joys,
And to it now we give the love Of loyal girls and boys.
And now, dear Alma Mater,. we have reached the day
When farewell greetings we extend, And say with hearts that sadly sigh-
School, our own dear school,-a fond goodbye.

CLASS PROPHECY

One hot summer day in the year 1977 after a very hard day's work at my office, my wife and I were sitting in C?ur living room waiting for the butler to announce the evemng meal. I threw myself on the sofa and picked up .a bC?ok and started reading. It happened to be the 1954 Semor Issue of the School Helper. It really made me homesick to read that book and live over again those dear old days at G. S. D. I began to want to travel around a little and see if I could meet up with some of myoid friends that I knew there.
After awhile I found myself planning a three months' vacation for my wife and me. I decided that we would go to Europe, and in a few days my secretary had arranged passports, transportation and hotel reservations.
Our first stop was in Richmond, Virginia. I rushed in to send a wire to my business partner. and just as I turned away from the desk, some one touched me on the shoulder and said, "Well, Richard Brewer, what are you doing here?" I could hardly believe my eyes when after the second look I recognized the person to be myoid classmate, Louise Wilson. She had grown very stout, but still had that same twinkle in her eye. She said she was waiting for her husband who was coming in on the next plane. Soon I saw a tall handsome man coming toward us smiling. Louise ran to greet him and proudly introduced her husband to us. They persuaded my wife and me to stop over with them for a few days at their beautiful thirty-five room home out from Richmond. When our visit was over, they drove us to Washington, D. C. in their 1977 Lincoln car to visit some leading printing establishments in which I was very much interested.
The owner of the first building that we visited greeted us in a very friendly way, but kept looking at us as if he knew us. Finally he said, "Plea e pardon me, but you people look like some friends I used to know in Georgia." A.bout that time I realized that the two hundred pound handsome gray haired business executive was none other than Junior Galloway, that old buddy of mine at G. S. D. in the Class of 1954. He told me that he had never married, but he insisted that we drive out and see hie; home where he lived alone with ten or twelve servants. Soon we were speeding along in a bright red Buick convertible, and finally drove into a magnificent estate on the banks of the Potomac River. Junior told us that when he became a millionaire he built this forty-five room mansion. He told us that if we would spend a few days with him he would go to Europe with us, as it h'ld been everal months since he had been abroad.
The next morning when we were riding down Pennsylvania Avenue, we passed a beautiful 1977 blue Cadillac. Junior told his chauffeur to follow that car, because he believed the man driving it was an old classmate of ours. When we drove up in front of a swell night club, the car stopped and out stepped our old red-headed star football player of 1953, Franklin Bagley. He told u that he owned this night .club and five others in different cities.
My wife was eager to visit the shopping district and while we were looking around trying to decide where to go, we passed a very lovely shop that specialized in individually designed dresses. We went in and saw a tall welldressed woman standing in a private office. She kept looking at us, and finally said, "Do you happen to know Richard Brewer"? I said, "Indeed I do. I am Richard Brewer myself." She then said, "Well I am Betty Brown." After talk-

ing with her we found that she was a famousfdeSigner of women's clothes and was also the owner of this shop and several more in other cities. She told 'us that she was married and invited us to spend several days with her. That evening she said that she had a happy surprise for us. She had invited some friends in. to see us. The very first one who arrived at the party was none other than Fain Griffin, the "joker." I almost fainted when I found that Fain owned several large shoe factories in Washihgton. He had a lovely wife, but he said he surely had a hard time finding her. He did not marry until he was past forty. He was quite wealthy now and weighed over three hundred pounds.
Fain suggested that the next day he would drive us out to see Gene Lanier who lived not very far away. He told us that Gene had made quite a fortune in the printing business and had retired some time ago. We arrived at Gene's home about lunch time, and enjoyed a wonderful meal with him and his charming wife who looked just like a girl that we used to know at dear old G. S. D.
The next day we flew up to New York in one of Gene's private airplanes. When we landed at the airport we noticed a very attractive couple getting ready to catch another plane. The man was tall, weighed about two hundred pounds and had gray hair. The woman was a beautiful blonde and very stylishly dressed. They both kept looking at us until finally the man came over and said, "Well, if you are not Richard Brewer, you are hie; twin brother". Then I realized that this handsome man was myoid classmate, Franklin Dyess. He and his bride were on their honeymoon. He told me that he had accumulated a fortune in his offset press factory.
On our way to our hotel we noticed a middle-aged well dressed woman who was having trouble starting her car.
r asked if I could help her, and when she looked at me
she began laughing and said, "Don't you know who I am?"
r was a little puzzled and then she said, "Juanice Dukes."
She told me that she had married a Mr. Von Valkinburg and that they had a beautiful home on Hudson Drive not very far from Rosemary Smith's home. She said that Ro emary's husband owned a number of paint factories il\ New York state and since Rosemary had grown older, she' had lost a lot of weight and had beautiful gray hair. Juanice also told us that cute Ann ThomDson and her husband. a very wealthy oil man, were living in Dallas, Texas and that Laura Ann Brigman and Wynell Godwin were joint owners of a very swell hotel in New York City and that they with their husbands often visited her.
The next day we caught the Queen Elizabeth bound for London, England. The ocean was rather rough, and we felt sorry for one passenger who was very seasick. I offered to help him and almost fainted when I discovered that this prosperous-looking, fat, bald-headed man with a gray moustache was myoid friend, Guy ("Pluto") Jones. He told me that he had never married but was dead in love with a French girl wl)om he had met on one of his trips abroad and that he was on his way to his wedding.
About this time my .wife shook me and said. "Richard, supper has been ready for an hour, but you were sleeping sC? peac~fully that I didn't dare disturb you." I was truly dlsappomted when I awoke enough to realize that this meetin~ with myoId friends at G. S. D. was only a __ Dream!

CLASS WILL

My friends, we have called you here as a solemn duty, that you, the heirs and assigns of the Class of 1954, may hear the last will and testament of these departed friends.
I shall appreciate your courteous attention while I read this duly attested will.
We, the Clus of 1954 of the Georgia School for the Deaf, in the town of Cave Spring, the county of Floyd and the state of Georgia, being of sound mind and good memory, and having reached the time when we are soon to pass into a big, wide, beautiful and wonderful world, do make, publish and declare this to be our last will and testament, rendering void and hereby revoking all former wills by us heretofore made.
We do direct that our departing exercises be conduct ed in an honorable way by our beloved superintendent and faculty who have been our close guardians through the years.
In the following manner we humbly dispose of our most valuable possessions:
Item One:
We desire that before any division is made that all our just debts be paid as soon after we are gone as is possible, and we authorize and direct our executors herein named to pay the same.
Item Two:
We leave to our superintendent, principal and teachers the sincere affection and deep gratitude of fourteen loyal hearts.
Item Three:
We give and bequeath, freely and without reservation, to the Junior Class, our rightful heirs, and to their heirs and assigns forever, our most valuable possessions, namely: ou.r ~eniqr privileges, lovely manners, dignified ways and brillIant mtellects, and we hope that said gifts will enable said Juniors to be an honor to the school as we have been.
Item Four:
We give and bequeath to the Sophomore Class our great will power which may enable said Sophomores to some day be Seniors.
Item Five:
We give and bequeath to the incumbent Fre.hman Class our friendly attitudes, so that they, too many learn how to win friends and influence people. '

Item Six:

We will to the incoming Freshman Class our courage and power of endurance. Said possessions have made us what we are today and should be a great help to said Freshman lads and lassies.

We, the afore mentioned class, give and bequeath our smaller individual bequests as follows:

To Jean Barrett we bequeath Franklin Bagley's nerve and his ability to ask questions. Said nerve and ability may enable said Jean Barrett to assist Franklin Dyess in getting enough courage to propose to her.

To Doris Jones we give and bequeath Fain Griffin's library consisting of fifty volumes on How to Make Love. These books, though in a bad condition from constant use, have been very helpful to said Fain Griffin this year and may prove valuable to said Doris Jones in keeping the heart of Gene Lanier which is now in the possession of Doris Jones.

To Betty Pharr we bequeath Rosemary Smith's reducing gadgets, pills and what not so that said Betty Pharr may keep her weight down and continue to hold the title, "The baby of the Junior Class".

To Carol Smith we hereby give and bequeath free from all tax, the volumes of lovely notebooks now in possession of Louise Wilson and Betty Brown. Said notebooks will be a great help to said Carol Smith m her preparation to enter Gallaudet College.

To Jerry Nix we give and bequeath the ability to be

polite to everyone. Said ability is now in the possession

of Broughton Galloway and Richard Brewer. Included in

this legacy is the friendliness of Guyton O. ~ones (better

known as "Pluto" Jones).

:

Ann Thompson, Laura Ann Brigman, Juanice Dukes
and Wynell Godwin desire that their sweet dispositions be equally divided among Jean Barrett, Carol Smith, Betty Pharr and Doris Jones in the hopes that said girls will no! impose upon Jerry Nix, the only boy in the Junior Class.

We, the Class of 1954, make, constitute and appoint as the sole executors of this our last will and testament:Mr.
John L. Caple, Mrs. Mary P. Turner, Mrs. 'Kathryn w.
Williamson, Miss Florence D. Israel and Mr. Bob Johnson.

In witness whereof we have here-unto subscribed our names and affixed our seal this the twenty-eighth day of May, Year of our Lord 1954.

SPORTS SUMMARY OF THE YEAR

After successive poor easons since 1947, the Georgia School for the Deaf football squad made a rallying comeback to the status of an average team during the fall of 1953. After two initial defeats by Buchanan and Dade County, our boys made an amazing victory by amassing thirty-four points over Cassville. The next week they made another great victory, an upset over Tallapoosa, which beat us 25 to 0 in the preceding year. Again, the next week they played a splendid running game and made an overwhelming revenge over Chattanooga Valley, which badly defeated us 26 to 6. Later, they tied Jack on, preventing them from repeating their 1952 victory over us.

OUT YONDER
BY ERNEST HERRON

Will the person who wrote the nice piece about this column in la t month's School .Helper p~ease send me a new hat one size larger. Such r.1ce compliments made my head swell ever so slightly, but the old h!!t no .longe~ fits.
This is the first column I have wrItten 10 VhlCh I have no new babies to report. Inquiry reveals that the stork has not gone out of business, but is just a little be-
hind in his orders, so just wait. Here's a pat on the back for a deaf man who has given
us a story of success through hard work and grit. J. C. Henck of Scottdale, Georgia ha operated h.is own barber shop in the same location for 27 years. Start10g shortly hefore the long depression he has weathered all ob tacles and plenty of competition and today he owns the building in which his shop and a small stor-: are .located. He also owns his home and has reared IX chIldren and now proudly boasts of 7 grandchildren. Mr. Henck is probably the be t known man in this small unincorporated town between Atlanta and Stone Mountain and is sometimes jokingly referred to as Major. He is married to the former Georgia Kilgore whom he unhesitatingly crowns queen of homemakers, good cooks and mother .
As the flat broke, but happy father of two boys it is my considered opinion that any couple who succes fully rears six children deserve a medal. Lacking a medal this column offers hearty congratulations to Mr. and Mrs.
Henck. While handing out boulUets, we want to give one to
Cicero Freeman of Marietta, Georgia. Cicero, who has always been a hard working and active fellow, has been incapacitated since Christmas when he ruptured a vertebrae while doing some heavy lifting. He recently spent 17 day in Piedmont Hospital where he underwent an operafion in which bone was taken from hi hip and grafted to hi spine after which he was confined to his home for seven weeks. He is now able to get around a little. but does not know how long it will be until he can return to work. He has to go around laced up like Scarlet 0' Hara in the day time and sleep on a hard board at night. He ays it ha been a painful experience but better than being permanently confined to a wheel chair which would have been his fate without the operation.
Mr. and Mrs. Henry Grady Reeves who left Atlanta maJly years a~o to make their home 10 Dearborn, Michigan are visiting their son in Atlanta.
Douglas Hitchcock and Victor Galloway took in the National basketball tournament in Kan as City, Kansas

last month and reported a very good time. A crowd officially counted at 1500 wa there. Among them wa Race Drake who ent regards to all hi Georgia friends. Al 0 endmg regards was Charles Whisman. Charle i an Indiana teacher wh:> came down and picked one of Georgia' juiciest peaches Helen ee e, and took her bl\.ck to Incliana. They have one son.

Doug and Vic are regular vi itors at the National tournaments. This was Doug'.; fifth tournament and VIC'S seventh. Vic went by air and Doug drove his Chevrolet.

Mrs. Bonnie Craig is convalescing at Emory Hospital after a major operation. A call to the hospital brought the report that she was progressing satisfactorily, but no
visitors are allowed yet.

Also confined to Piedmont Hospital for a few days was Gail Stout, a former G. S. D.. teacher, who now teaches at the Alabama School for the Deaf. I am glad to report that a check-up and X-rays howed hi condition not to be as ~erious as his physician at nrst thought. He is improving rapidly and expects to be fully recovered before long.

Members of Freeman Mi ion in Atlanta were delight-

ed to hear of the large number of G. S. D. student who

were baptized recently. We congratulate them on their

deci ion and hope to welcome some of them into our

church in Atlanta soon.

.

Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Chambers proudly announce that

they have become grandparents. Arthur was before hi

retirement a few years ago one of the oldest employees

of Western Electric Company in Atlanta. His job was re-

conditioning coin-operated telephones.

Angeline Sturgis tells thi story on her elf: When she

wa at the tomboy age at G. S. D. she became quite

proficient at walking on stilts and could cover the campu

with ea e. Seeking new thrills he decided it would be a

good idea to walk through the goldfish pond that graced

the campus at that time. But walking on dry land and

walking in water are different things and as you have

guessed she landed with a spla h among the goldfi h. Her

ears still burn when she recalls I\1r . Kimsey's unfavorable

and strongly-worded opinion of the stunt.

Hope to see you all at the Convention of the Georgia

As ociation of the Deaf in Atlanta July 1st to 4th. (Free

adverti ement.)

Thi is our la t column for the vear. It has been a plea ure to write about my friends and your friend and I thank the Editor for the opportunity. Happy vacations.

A E Ie ORY
WE AR GOING ON
Me bers of the Board of Education, Mr. Davis, parents, te.. 'hers and other friends: The time has come for us, the graduating class of 1954, to leave these dear old walls which have sheltered us so long and to say good-bye to each member of our school family.
The thought of parting brings us feelings of sadness and gladness. We are sad when we remember that this chapter in Life's Book is ended and that we now turn our faces toward a strange: new world.
We shall always hold in mind tenderly and gratefully all these years have meant to us, all they have given us and all they have taught us. They have truly been happy years, and in saying farewell to you, our friends and comrades, we say it with deep gratitude and with a heart full of love for each one of you.
We hope that we may be an honor to you III the years to come, and that you will never have reason to be disappointed in us. We would like to show our appreciation to you by living a life of which you would feel proud that you had a part in shaping.
We know that your interest will follow us wherever we go, and that through the years you will be thinking of us and sending us messages of help and encouragement.
We thank you for all you have done for us. If it had not been for you, our parents, our teachers and other friends who have been willing to plan for us, we could not stand here this morning unafraid just inside the open gate through which we shall soon pass into a big, beautiful world.
We are glad that we can take with us the memory of these happy years we have spent together. We hope that we shall some day meet again on this dear old campus in this very spot and talk and laugh together-and that you may meet with us for without you, our friends, that meeting would not be complete.
In bidding you farewell we, the Class of 1954, do it with a tear, a sigh, a smile and a wave of a white handkerchief as our ship sails out from port.
God bless you every one!!

VOLUME 54

MARCH, 1954 BEAUTY CULTURE

NO.7

Rosemary Smith in the process of giving a cold wave to Jaunice Dukes. Both girls are seniors this year.

Unlimited opportunities for advancement are offered to a young boy or girl properly trained in the practice of beauty culture.
The training for the work is not so difficult as that necessary in many other vocations. Statistics have proved that more positions are available to a trained beautician than are afforded by any other course of vocational training.
Each state has laws governing the practice of beauty culture in that particular state.

The requirements in Georgia are:
A student must be sixteen years of age before entering a beauty culture class. A blood report and three dollars must accompany each application for a student's permit to work in a beauty school and two dollars per year must be paid thereafter until the student has compl<:ted 1200 hours in the prescribed course.
On graduation from the beauty school a student must

send her diploma certificate, student permit, and $15.00 examination fee to the Hairdressers' Examiners. The permit shows that the entire examination fee has been paid and she can work as a master operator until notified to report for the State Board Examination.
We have had eighteen students to pass this examination and many of them are now working in b e aut y shops throughout the state.

PRINTING

March,1954

Gene Lanier, a senior in printing, checking a proof from the offset press.

The Print Shop is the last
word in modern equipment and
printing. The new print shop was built this past summer (1953)
and approximately $63,000.00
was spent for new equipment. The shop is well lighted and
adequate in every respect. It has been proven that printing is one
of the best trades for the deaf. The demand for good printers
far exceeds the supply. We try to give the boys a well-rounded pro-
gram in printing including lino-
typing, press work, and make-up work. The skill the boy may at-
tain naturally depends on his
capacity for learning.' W. H. Crider

OFFSET PRINTING

This issue of our paper is print-
ed on our new offset press. Offset printing is here to stay. It is not new to the printing industry but is fairly new in our section of the country and particularly new to most of our schools for the deaf. We are glad for our students to have an opportunity to learn this method of printing. There are many advantages to the offset method. The greatest

advantage to us is the fact that
pictures can be printed by this
method without having expen-
sive cuts made and without the
delay of waiting for cuts to come all the way from Atlanta. We can
take a picture from our camera and process it into a finished plate for the offset press in a very short time in our own dark rooms. We are already counting the dollars we will save on the Senior Issue of our paper.

SEWING

Page 3

Betty Brown, Jaunice Dukes, and Wynell Godwin working in the Sewing Dept.

Our sewing department has a new look. Many new cabinets, tables, and mac h i n e shave changed this into a modern clothing department. The cabinets made by Bavinco are finished in natural wood and give a pleasing effect to the whole room. New light fixtures have been ordered that will give this department the finishing touch. More and more girls are seen working on dresses. Probably this is a combination of Spring weather and the desire to use some of the new equipment.
I have always liked sewing, because I wanted to know how to make my own clothes, and to make needed articles for my home.
I have found it pleasant work

to layout a pattern and follow the instructions until I, at last, had a finished garment.
At first I did not think that I would make sewing my vocation for life, but I have learned to enjoy it in other ways than just making my own clothes, and now I am eager to learn more skills in sewing that will be helpful in all kinds of work in garment factories.
-Wynell Godwin
I have a great many friends who have good jobs in factories where clothes are made, and this has made me interested in choosing sewing as my vocation, and, too, I have always wanted to be able to make my own clothes.
If one can sew well, there are a great many opportunities to

get good jobs in nice factories, and most stores have alteratiQn departments that offer good jobs.

The vocational language that I have learned in sewing has helped me in doing my own shopping, and has made me more interested in my chosen vocation.

The work in this vocation is not too hard, and you learn some thing new and interesting every time you make an article. This keeps one from getting tired of the work.

I hope that when I finish

school, I will be able to get a

good job and make a success of

it. I shall try to put into practice

some of the many skills that I

have learned in my vocational

class.

THE SCHOOL HELPER
SHOE REPAIRING

March, 1954

Mr. Dillard giving instructions to Edwin Aldridge on using the Landis Stitcher.

In this vocation our specific objectives are:
To teach the fundamental principles underlying the shoe repairing trade.
To teach the practical use of shoe repairing machinery and a knowledge of how to take care of it properly.
To guide the pupils in the mastery of the trade so that they may be able to operate a shop and thereby earn an honest living.
Our broad objective is to try to develop in each individual the

basic factors that are essential to success in any vocation and that will lead the individual to a happy adjustment in the world as he attempts to be a typical participant in the industrial, social, and civic affairs of the community in which he finds his chosen field.
Our course of study breaks up the field of shoe repairing into convenient learning units and, if a boy follows the course of study outlined, he will have the opportunity to become familiar with the skills, knowledge,

and experiences necessary in becoming a successful workman.
We find that teaching thi3 vocation is an individual process, although the individuals may be assembled in groups, and that our job does not end when we give information but when we have placed a pupil in a position
where he must, guided by our information, assemble his own resources, improve them and use them in the working out of his problem.
c. Dillard

March, 1954
In recent- years the Home Economics Department has gained a prominent place in the Vocational Department.
The equipment has been brought up to date and the school is able to boast of one of the most modern Home Economics Department in the State.
Each student in this department is taught to develop an ability to meet the many problems faced at her home and the home she will later make. Some of these can be named as human relationships, management of house keeping, buying for family needs, special care and training of little children, guarding the family's health, planning for leisure, and the establishment of a comfortable and attractive home.
We feel that any student who enrolls in this vocation and pursues it with serious study can not help but become a better member of her home and a finer homemaker of the future.
- Miss Barlow
For those who do not have the opportunity of taking part in the hometaking courses here, there is another door of similar training open to them and it is their privilege to participate in this club which is a national organization, the Future Homemakers of America.
They meet every second Tuesday of each month. Their first project last fall was to make baby clothes and have followed with similar projects through the school year.
Last month for Valentine's Day they held a square dance at the Scout Hut and the duties included in this project were planning the party, writing out invitations, refreshment planning, decorating and entertaining. In the refreshment planning, they learned to double several recipes, budget the expenses and such other tasks as were profitable to their training. - Miss Barlow

Our main objectives in teaching woodworking or carpentry are to develop a habit of orderly and methodical procedure in the performance of any task in the shop. This involves two things, a careful examination of the job to be done in order to find out what is required, and the formation of a definite step by step plan for doing the job, before starting on the layout. To learn the underlying principles of carpentry and its practical use. To learn to follow printed and written directions and mechanical drawing instructions, to develop elementary skills in the use of tools, machines, or power tools, and materials, and to gain experience in making minor repairs and to do effectively the jobs that most boys and men are called upon to do regardless of their vocation.

Each pupil fills out a job plan sheet for almost every task. This form contains spaces that the pupil must fill out for materials and sup P lie s needed, names of parts, materials and dimensions, tools needed, and procedure. During the course the pupils have an opportunity to practice woodworking skills. When a pupil has shown proficiency in anyone skill he receives credit in the progress chart.
J. R. Ware, Teacher Woodworking
I selected carpentry as my vocation, because I liked to work with tools and machinery, and I thought I could find a job easily in this kind of work after I finished school.
When I started working in this vocation, I became more and more interested in it as we made

repairs on broken pieces of furniture in the dormities and did small carpentry jobs on the campus. I saw how much help this type of work would be to me when I went back home. I enjoyed having these new experiences every day, and I found that one could save a great deal of money by repairing things instead of junking them. This too, made me more interested in carpentry.
I have always liked to keep things in order and I learned that this was one of the most important things to do in carpentr . This has helped me in my other school work, and in jobs that I found to do in the summer.
I hope that I can find a good job when I finish school, and that from experience, I can learn a lot more about carpentry.

VOCATIONAL AGRICULTURE AND FARM

VOCATIO AL AGRICULTURE
Vocational agriculture was reinstated in the program of study for boys in September, 1953.
This course is designed to give the stude:lts a fundamental knowledge of farming by a study of animal and crop projects in the classroom and by actually doing jobs on the farm and observing the regular farm hands as they perform the many and varied farm tasks that are necessary to the operation of a farm.
F. W. Bryant
FARM PROGRAM
The farm program for the Georgia School for the Deaf is being reorganized to operate more efficiently and at the same time to produce more of the foods needed for the school.
The school owns 545 acres of land in the Southwest corner of Floyd ,County at Cave Spring. This land is in two tracts, one tract contains 480 acres and the other 65 acres.
The land is divided into different use groups. There are approximately 60 acres in building sites and playground, 160 acres in crops and open pasture land, leaving a balance of about 325 acres in woodland.
Some of the woodland will be converted to pasture as rapidly as time as labor will permit. This plan will help to provide more and better feeding practices for the hogs and cattle. There will be both temporary and permanent pastures planted in the overall grazing plan for the farm.
The livestock on the farm at present is 36 dairy cows, 20 beef animals and 16 young stock of

dairy and beef. In addition to the cows there are 75 hogs and 400 hens.
The farm program is planned to supply all of the milk, pork and eggs the school will need. Future plans will include supplying the beef needed and also to furnish some vegetables for the school.
As a start toward the fulfilment of the goals set up in the farm program approximately $15,000 worth of farm machinery and equipment has been purchased for the farm. A new $7,000 machinery center has been built and a new dwelling house for the farm superintendent is to be started soon.
A plan for building a chicken house is under consideration now. A 1500 hen house would enable the farm to supply eggs in quantity and quality for the entire school.
Irrigation for the farm has not been added to the program but is a very important item to be considered in planning a successful farm program.
F. W. Bryant
VOCATIONAL
Vocational training is a very important part of our program. Most of our shops have been modernized or are in the process of being improved both in equipment and well-rounded courses. The boys may study printing, s hoe repairing, woodworking, and agriculture. The girls are offered beauty culture, sewing and home economics. Craft work is taught to the younger students.
Printing, woodworking, and shoe repairing are all profitable

vocations for the deaf and have always been popular courses in our school. For those boys who like the out of doors agriculture is a good course for them.
We have had a number of girls secure Master Licenses in Cosmetology or beauty culture. The offering of this course not only gives the girls a vocation but helps develop poise and self confidence a m 0 n g our students. They learn to keep themselves well groomed.
Since only a small percentage of the students finishing our school will have the opportunity to continue their education, we try our best to teach them something by which they may earn a livelihood and be self-supporting and independent.
In sewing and home economics our girls learn how to sew, coo'{, and be good homemakers which fits them for working either outside the home or in the home. We all are agreed that being a good mother and homemaker is a very important career for any girl and she should be as well educated along this line as possible. On the other hand, should she want to earn her way she may be equipped for jobs where her knowledge of foods, clothing, etc., is involved.

ARTS AND CRAFTS

March, 1954

Betty Ann Chadwick is making a lamp shade and Sarah Christopher is making a pen and ink drawing of an outdoor scene.

We believe that for Art Education to function as a school subject it must contribute to the general educational program, and that an art program is important in so far as it has a part in raising standards of the general program.
Our main objective in teaching arts and crafts are: to stimulate creative ability on the part of the pupil through the various arts and craft activities; to discover particular aptitudes and interests; to enrich the pupil's life so that it will be well balanced; and to arouse a desire in the pupil to do every task in the best way.
OUT department seeks opportunities to help with the teach-

ing of other school subjects and with the promoting of all school activities. We believe that art work should be practical and useful and that it should glorify all other work. We are quite pleased when we are called upon to do work for other departments and for school activities outside the classroom.
We believe that every pupil at sometime should be exposed to the influence of the art program. The results would be according to individual tastes, abilities, desires, capacities, and efforts, but all would develop additional skills and make contacts with varied materials and that would make a special con-

tribution to the pupil's experience and growth.
The craft work includes the problems suggested by the pupils and the teacher which seem necessary in order to provide a variety of useful appropriate articles. Pupils are encouraged to choose from among many, a project that appeals to them. As soon as the project is chosen the pupil starts collecting information about it from every source. The pupil is carefully checked during the time he is working on the problem to ascertain the greatest need, which will be the basis of the craft work attempted next.

I was most interested in learning the names of the different tools and how to correctly use them. I was very proud when after months of practice with each tool, my teacher gave me a repair job and told me to try to do it all by myself. He watched me, but he let me decide what to do.

THE PERINTE DENT'S MES AG(';
;n the selection of and prE'paration for a vo:ation a boy or girl should give careful consideration to job security. The type of work oftE'n may determine, to a great extent, job security but the characteristics of the individual will have by far more to do with job security than the type of work.
What is job security? The ability of the individual to remain in the same position for long periods of time and to receive while in the position sufficient remuneration to acquire and enjoy the essentials necessary in a good living standard.
What are some of the characteristics of the individual that will help him to be successful in his vocation? Perhaps the following are the most important: 1. Ability to get along with people. 2. Knowledge of the skills that are required in the job. 3. Good health. 4. Excellent quality of work. 5. Quantity of work. 6. Genuine interest in the busines~. 7. Personality.
1. Perhaps more people are unable to remain in a position because they do not get along with the boss or with some of the people they are required to work with than for any other cause. 0 employer wants a person in his business who cannot maintain a friendly spirit as he works with other employees in the business. When an individual is constanUy teasing, arguing or fussing with his employer, foreman, or other person in the establishment he not only lessens the effectiveness of his own work but he also keeps the other worker from doing his best work. In the preparation for a vocation it would do well for the boy or girl to learn this lesson well as it will have a great deal to do with job stability. You can ask yourself the question, How well do I cooperate with the teacher and class members while in school? If you have been a good student and maintained a friendly, cooperative spirit during your training program the chances are much better that you will be able to get along with your associates in your job when you begin work. If you have not cooperated with your teacher and have been a disturbing element in the classrooms the chances are that you will do the same thing on your job, and it will eventually result in your losing your job and having to seek another position.
2. Having the skill necessary to do the job is very important. Many boys and girls are so eager to get started making money that they do not get sufficient training before they attempt to start work. Lacking the necessary skill they may not be able to keep the job. Some jobs require higher skills than others. Some require special training in that particular kind of work before they enter the job. Other jobs requiring less skill

may be accepted without special training but the
individual should have an aptitude for that work before attempting to do the work. Printing requires a great deal of knowledge about various types of machines and a high skill in working with the
machines. The machines are expensive and a mistake may cost the employer a great deal of money
when the machine is damaged by a careless or untrained worker. The ability to think, to see danger, and to avoid errors is particularly important to an individual who works with any kind of machinery.
3. Good health is important becau e no employer wants his people to be orr from the jo') too much. Replacements 0:1 a particular job are often
difficult to make without lessening the efficiency of operation. Good health is often maintained by the individual's getting plenty of sleep, eating reg-
ularly whole ome food and avoiding exce s of food or drink. We have noticed a few students on days when we have our best meals served eating so much that the next day they are in the infirmary gelling over the sickness caused by overeating.
4. The quality of work will mean a great deal to an individual in aiding him in staying on the job year after year. 0 employer wants an indivi
dual who wastes raw materials by making mistakes that prevent the article from selling at regular price. A smJII amount of raw material wasted will
cost the employer more than the wages of the employee who made the mistake. Busine s establishments refuse to accept products that are defective
and the manufacturer loses. The quality of work you do in your classes will indicate the quality of work you do on your first job. lt is important that your work be neat and accurate.
5. The quantity of work will also have a great deal to do with your job stability. When an employer finds it necessary to lay of[ some workers
it is only natural that he will discharge those who do less work. His profits are determined by the efficiency of operation. The employee who does less work linn the average worker in busine s will
"ery likely be the first to be discharged in case of a reduction. When the quantity is too small, he may be replaced with a new worker in the hope that the new worker will be able to turn out more work than the discharged employee has been turn-
ing out. 6. An employer likes for his workers to show a
genuine interest in the business. A booster is always a better asset than a knocker. If you cannot work for a business firm and boost it, then it is
better that you leave the job and find one that you can be proud to represent. While a student is in school, he should do his best. because that is his preparation period for life. He can make a better
worker later in life if he made a good student while he was in school.
7. Personality has a great deal to do with success on most jobs. In our present day world an individual must live with people. A good personality can
help a great deal in securing promotions with a business firm. If a job opens and two people are available, one with a poor personality and the other with a good personality, the one with the better
personality will more often get the promotion. Boys and girls can develop their personalities. A pretty face is not all there is to personality. The kind of clothes you wear, the kind of temper you have, the
care you exercise in your contacts with other people, courtesy, kll1dness, cooperativeness all help to determine personality.
There are many other factors that you should
watch as you prepare for and enter upon your vocation. Now is the time to give your attention to all these factors if you would be prepared for job stability.

OUT YONDER
By E. C. Herron
Hello folks. Only half the news we prophesied last month happened in time for this writing. The stork which was being so anxiously watched last month landed at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Byron Avant (Vera Reeder) and left a 6 lb. 8 oz. boy. The new baby (their first) was named Byron Allan. Proud pop after a day's rest, was busy handing out cigars. The stork is expected back in town any day now but we will save that for next month.
Martha Maxey is all smiles when she exhibits the diamond ring g i v e n her by Bobby Gorman. 0 date has been set for the wedding but judging by the obvious affection they have for each other it won't be long. Bobby is employed by Simmons Mattress Co.
The Atlanta basketball team entertained the Palmetto Silent Club of Spartanburg, S.C. recently and took a 57-36 licking. This made it even as they had de feated the Palmettos in their home town a couple of weeks before. One reason for the success of the Palmetto Club was that Fred Powers, a Georgia boy who is employed by a printing firm in Columbia, S.C. played for the South Carolina outfit. The Atlanta team also fell by the wayside in the S. E. A. A. D. tournament in B i r min g ham, Alabama. Tsk-tsk boys, is that any way to do us after we talked so nice about you last month?
Dean Green was reported seen in Atlanta recently. Dean has become quite a traveler since leaving Atlanta a few years ago. He has worked as a linotype operator in various parts of Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi and when last seen said he was headed for New Orleans. He is married to the former Betty Sue Smith of Bessemer,Alabama.
While passing a Georgia Tech fraternity house, Ned Palmer's

eye was caught by one of the famous Tech Wrecks in the form of a 1926 Chevrolet coupe which a sign said was for sale. He went in and after some haggling with the owner he paid him $35.00 and proudly drove the antique home. Since then Ned has become quite a buyer of junk auto parts. When the dealer holds up five fingers to show that the price of a wanted part is $5.00, Ned gives him a disdainful look, holds up three fingers to indicate he thinks it is only worth $3.00 then points to his watch and waves his hand in the air to show he has no time to waste and he usually leaves with the part he wants at his price. Ned is determined to fix up the old car in such a way that it will perform tricks but the only trick it will do so far is to lie down and play dead. He doesn't have to worry though, for convenience he has a 1952 Mercury hardtop.
Bill Powell, the gentleman farmer of Alpharetta has purchased a com pIe t e photographic outfit, including a Graphic camera and a fully equipped dark room. He is learning a new hobby with an eye to the future in which he hopes to establish a photographic business of his own besides farming, Bill is employed as a cutter in an Atlanta garment factory. He also owns a private lake which attracts Atlanta's numerous deaf fishermen and transfers dollars from their pockets to Bill's. There's more than one way to catch a fish, eh Bill?
Ever wonder what some of the old school friends do for a living? There Jre the usual number of printers, pressmen, carpenters, dressmakers, etc. We will try from time to time to uncover and feature some unusual occupation by a deaf worker.
Dale White who is something of an artist is employed by a large toy factory. He paints the appealing and sometimes mis-

chievous faces on the cuddly dolls, doggies and bunny rabbits that delight the hearts of small children. This plant also employs a number of other deaf men as cutters and assemblers.
A number of former G. S. D. students are independently operating their own business. Here are a few.
John Chester of Decatur operates a grading and landscaping business. He owns several pie::es of expensive mechanical equipment and does sub-contracting for builders.
Fred Jones, Carrollton; Cecil White, Madison; Henry Doyle, Sylvania; William Massey, Daw-
son;. A. L. Craft, Augusta; and Willie Lee Trawick of Macon all own shoe repair shops.
elson Harper of Washington operates a dairy and serves the Augusta area.
Fred Buchanan owns a thriving jewelry and watch repair business in Lawrenceville.
Byrd Trawick one of the oldest living alumni and among the most loyal, is a prosperous farmer in Cedartown.
Alton Holman owns a photographic studio in Cave Spring.
G. S. D. graduates almost without exception take their places in the world and make a good living. When we see how well they get along we can't help but feel a little sorry for those children who miss the valuable vocational training that is available at this residential school. But we must not turn this into an editorial column.
This column will from time to time give accounts of successful people who got their start at
G. S. D.
See you next month. "As this copy was being pre-
pared for mailing, word was received that the stork had landed again and left a boy at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Herbert Dannis. Mr. and Mrs. Dannis are new additions to A t I ant a. They moved here from Daytona Beach, Fla. Herbert is a linotype operator for the Ruralist Press."

THE HO ORABLE HERMAN E. TALMADGE
The Honorable Herman E. Talmadge has done more for education in Georgia since he became Governor, than all other governors since the beginning of a state supported public school system. His upport of a tax revision program made it possible for the General Assembly to pass the nece sary legislation. The increased state revenue resulting from the state sales tax has made po sible rapid improvements in health, welfare and highway programs as well as in education.
The million dollars appropriated for building and repairs at the Georgia School for the Deaf by the General A sembly during hi- administration, ha been a life saver for the school. All Georgian and especially the deaf of the state are grateful for his interest and financial support of the chool.

THE HONORABLE M. D. COLLINS
Doctor Collins' contribution to the educational program is beyond measure in dollars. His life is an example of ervice to his fellowmen. At an early age, he became a minister and a teacher. In both, he achieved great success. While he has never ceased to be a minister and to maintain high moral standards and exert good spiritual influence, his deep interest in boys and girl leads him to devote most of his time to improving their educational opportunities.
It can truly be aid that no State Superintendent has, or ever can, achieve a great percentage increase in state support for education, as ha been accomplished during hi admini tration. His interest in the deaf and blind children has been demonstrated by the achievement of the two special schools for these groups since they were placed under his supervision.

Georgia achieved leadership in services to the handicapped under the administration of the Honorable Paul S. Barrett. For seyeral years more Georgia people were rehabi:i~ated through counseling, training, physical restoration and placement services by his staff than were served by any other state in the nation.
Since the schools for the Deaf and the Blind were placed under his administration, more progress has been made in providing suitable facilities than during any similiar period of time in their history. The people of Georgia, and particularly the Deaf, are gratified at this progress and commend him for his interest and financial assistance.

THE HONORABLE EUGENE TALMADGE
The Honorable Eugene Talmadge rose from the ranks of the common people to become one of the greatest governors the state has had. Practical in his thinking, steady in his purpose, and determined in his efforts, he led the statesmen to support his program. He was the friend of the common man. He had a deep interest in the welfare of the disabled and handicapped, and did much to expand the rehabilitation services. The deaf, the blind, the lame and others disabled by accident or disease can thank him for his interest in their welfare. The State Board of Education recognizes this service in naming the new gymnasium in his honor.

The gymna ium is equipped with a regulation tournament basketball court with foldaway seats with a seating capacity for 200.
Boys and girls enjoy table tennis at frequent intervals.

A MESSAGE FROM YOUR SUPERINTENDENT
On November the 11th we plan to dedicate two new buildings which have been constructed with the funds provided for capital outlay by the General Assembly and the present state administration. This dedication will mark another milestone in the progress of the Georgia School for the Deaf. Good facilities are essential to good learning situations. Since these improvements make possible better learning situations, they present a challenge to each teacher to do a better job. This should encourage every child to make better use of his opportunity while in school.
The boys and girls in school are builders for themselves. They are building character. They are developing social habits. They are learning the skills which will be essential to their success after leaving school. The kind of work habits they develop while in school, will largely determine their success in life. When you build a house, there are many requirements if you would get a good house with all the things you like. You must decide what kind of house you want, what materials you will use, how much you can afford to pay for it, how many rooms it will have, the size of the house, where you will build it, whom you will employ to help you and hundreds of other things.
Building a life is very much like building a house. Sometime during your school life, you must decide what kind of life you want. You must select a goal for your life that is within the limits of your ability. You must recognize your limitations, but you should select the kind of life that will enable you to reach your highest possible achievement within your ability. What you really want to be is an important factor in your success.
In selecting a vocation you must take into consideration several things:
1. How well have you learned to read and write? 2. How well have you learned to speak and read lips so you can communicate with hearing people with whom you will work? 3. What kind of work habits have you developed? 4. What opportunities for employment are there in the vocation you have chosen? 5. How much special training will you need to do the job? 6. Is the special training available for a deaf person? 7. Does the work pay enough that you will be satisfied with the job? 8. Does the job you select use your best skills and abilities? 9. Does it make it possible for you to develop your moral and spiritual life? The time to select your vocation should come during your school life while you are enrolled at the Georgia

School for the Deaf. By selecting it this early you may begin to study special skills that will help you. It should not be done too early. You should take time to consider all the above facts and many others that will help you make the right choice. Your teachers cannot tell you what vocation to enter. Your parents cannot tell you what vocation to enter. They can help you to understand the requirements, the skills needed, and the opportunities offered by various kinds of work. But your interest, your goal in life, your willingness to use your skills, your attitude toward people, your moral and social standards and your determmation to make good are the things that will help you to make the right decision.
After the selection of a vocation, then you should prepare well for the work you are to do. Some of th~ preparation may be done while here in school, if you have selected a vocation in which we offer training. Certainly you can begin to study and read about the work you have selected and talked about with your teach ~rs, parents, and others already engaged in that kind of work so that you will know the requirements for success. Most kinds of work available require the individual to read and write well, to be able to get along with people, to do a good quality of work, and to produce in sufficient quantity to make a profit for your employer. Most people who fail in jobs fail because they do an inferior quality of work, they do not do enough work to make it profitable for the employer, or they do not get along with their employer or with other people with whom they work.
Quality, quantity and cooperation then are three key words for your success in life. Each day in class you must not be satisfied unless you have done each les30n well. The better you do it, the better your quality of work. You should learn to be efficient in your work. Do it rapidly as well as do a good quality. Cooperation with your teacher and with other students in the class makes a better learning situation. Unnecessary interruptions not only hinder your progress but slow down the progress of the entire class. My message for you this month is to work for quantity and cooperation. If you do this well you will make a good student and develop habits that will help to make you successful in life.
Your Superintendent, Alfred L. Davis

ROME EXCHANGE CLUB ENTERTAINS PUPILS
For a number of years, the Rome Exchange Club has been host to our student body for one day, at the Coosa Valley Fair.
Quite a few of the members of the club come out each year and personally escort our boys and girls on a tour of the fair grounds, and through the courtesy of Mr. and Mrs. At Wagoner of the Cavalcade Shows, arrange free rides on all of the attractions. They conclude the tour with drinks given by the Rome Coca-Cola Bottling Company and ice cream donated by the Borden Milk Company.
This is an event that the students look forward to more than any other during the year, and they would like to express their appreciation to each member of the Exchange Club.

THE BUILDERS
All are architects of Fate; Working in these walls of Time;
Some with massive deeds and great, Some with ornaments of rhyme.
Nothing useless is, or low; Each thing in its place is best;
And what seems but idle show Strengthens and supports the rest.
For the structure that we raise, Time is with materials filled;
Our todays and yesterdays Are the blocks with which we build.
Truly shape and fashion these; Leave no yawning gaps between;
Think not, because no man sees, Such things will remain unseen.
In the elder days of Art, Builders wrought with greatest care
Each minute and unseen part; For the gods see everywhere.
Let us do our work as well, Both the unseen and the seen;
Make the house where gods may dwell Beautiful, entire, and clean.
Else our lives are incomplete, Standing in these walls of Time
Broken stairways, where the feet Stumble, as they seek to climb.
Build today, then strom~, and sure, With a firm and ample base;
And ascending and secure Shall tomorrow find its place.
Thus alone can we attain To those turrets, where the eye
Sees the world as one vast plain, And one boundless reach of sky. -Henry Wadsworth Longfellow.

THE ADVANCED DEPARTMENT

Happy days are here again! ! !
An unusually wholesome school spirit, especially evident in student cooperation with teachers and administratiors, has been commented upon by many faculty members. This spirit of friendliness and oneness of purpose will surely make itself felt in victories in academic pursuits, in co-curricular activities, and on the athletic field during the coming months.
Our classes meet in the building that was the dormitory for the boys last year. At first we felt quite lonely in our new home. but now the spacious rooms and high windows have become a part of us, and we are looking forward to some hard work. outstanding progress. and a very happy school year together.
Mrs. Williamson, Miss Israel, and Mrs. Turner reported for duty in their accustomed subjects, and we feel quite fortunate in being able to welcome Mr. Caple who will teach two classes of mathematics. and Mr. Bob Johnson who will have the social studies.
We are very proud of the many improvements that are daily making their appearance on our campus. We know that they did not j,ust happen. but that they represen careful planning and follow up effort on the part of those most interested in us and our school. We would like to show our apprecoation by matching our efforts with theirs in making this the most progressive school year that we have ever had, and we pledge our glad joyous service.
September 1953 will be indelibly written on the minds and hearts of our Freshman Classes.

\Ve welcome each one into the advanced department and would like to assure each one that we shall brave the storms and struggles and share the joys and happiness together. Already they have impressed their teachers and school mates with their eagerness to try to do their very best. These names have swelled our high school enrollment so that we now have more classes than we have teachers. thus giving some teachers two home room classes. Freshman I

Ann and Louise are reviewing with this class. This will be their last year, and they are taking double assignments. All the members of this class are very cooperative and their teachers find them a real joy. They are especially eager to improve their language and they are quite interested in reading as a means to this end.
The FRESHMAN II CLASS is composed of four pretty girls and two fine looking boys.

They come ready and willI ng to try to make great progress in this new adventure.

Their favorite subject is arithmetic. and they are now learning how to read and write whole numbers, and how to round off whole numbers.

year in high school, and they have started out in all eagerness and earnestness.

THE SENIOR CLASS
15 rahs for the seniors!
When we were lower classmen, we used to begrudge them this yell. but every dog has his day. and we have steadily crawled from our little cocoon to the rank of dignified seniors!
To be classed as a senior is enough to make any boy or girl happy. but alas, it causes sadness for it is the beginn'ing of the end of our high school days.
To give a detailed account of each member of our class would fill a book. but we would like for you to know that we have on our roll four beautiful girls, and six handsome boys. We have some very fine material for basketball, among boys and girls. We also furnish some splendid players for football. We are all wining to cooperate and try to make our school one of the very best. We are looking forward to this as one of our happiest years. and we pledge that we shall try to do Our very best.

FARM
Vocational Agriculture Added to the Curriculum
A new class has been added to the studies available for boys in the Georgia School for the Deaf this year.
The course in agriculture will give the boys a chance to learn the basic principles of farming and will give them some knowledge of the problems involved ,in successfully producing raw products that are used to supply food and clothing for the people of our country.
Studies woill be made of specific crops and livestock. these enterprises to be selected from farm practices found to be practical for the county or area in which the boy lives.
In addition to the above. some study and observation will be made of the school farm and the kinds of enterprises found there.
SPORTS REVIEW
August ,1, 1953, found 22 boys returning to G. S. D. with it burning desire to get themselves in shape for the opening football ~ame with Buchanan to be held three weeks hence. To make up

for the loss of ni~e players from last year's team who turned ineligible this year because of the four year participat'ion rule and for other reasons, Coach Van Cott put in eight newcomers.
The prospect is that G. S. D. has better preparations now than last year and should make a better season. Franklin Dyess will again lead offensive plays in the quarterback spot. Franklin Bagley, captain-elect, may be shifted from the line :into a fullback berth. Ronald Bell. Charles Wilson. and Claude Butler will alternate each other in the halfback positions. Brooks Blankenship and Alton Shirey will be tried for end positions. Jadie Norris will be lin a snapper's position again. Wayne Edwards, Richard Brewer and Franklin Dubberly will alternate each other in guard positions. while Jerry Nix and Don Smith may fill the tackle berths. Newcomers to the team are fifteen year oldsters, Milton Saunders, Alvin White, Jimmy Parker, Dickie Taylor, and Terrell Leverette. Clifton West, James Thacker. and Edwin Aldridge will be reserves. Hinton Stone. a t-ransfer student. although he has not played football. will be tried in defensive halfback positiion. The above players will fight for revenge of last year's defeat by Buchanan.

The Superintendent's Message
The Georgia School for the Deaf has a great history. During 1953-54 the students and staff will write another chapter in this history of the School. This new chapter will be dull or interesting, depending on how well we do our part to make this a greater school.
The success in the life of each boy and girl depends on how well they take advantage of the opportunity the people of the state have given them by establishing and maintaining this school. If they do each task assigned well, they will develop skills that will help them in their vocation. If they maintain a high standard of conduct it will help them to make better citizens now and in the years after after school. If they get along well with other students they will become well adjusted socially. If they strive to be friendly and helpful to other boys and girls it will help them to develop personality and become leaders.
Students are here to learn to speak and to read lips as well as to acquire the skills in academic and vocational subjects. When they learn to speak and read lips they can communicate with hearing people. The teachers use the oral method in teach'ing to help them develop speech. We do not teach the sign language because they can use it with only a small percentage of people they will meet after leaving school. Most of the advanced students learn signs from other students but we urge them to practice speaking at every opportunity because they will need it much more than they need signs.
The happiness of each student depends on his attitude toward his work. If he has a real desire to learn skills that will help him to be successful in life he will not object to work. Work is the secret of success. Nothing worthwhile was ever accomplished without work.
The dormitory is the home for nine months
of the year. It will be a happy home for the boy or

g.irl who likes and appreciates other people. A smile is contagious. Smile and the world smiles with you. Being friendly and considerate of others is a trait of character that builds friendship. A person should be tolerant and kind to those less fortunate than himself. Some of the students come from homes that do not have as many of the conveniences and lu.xuries that others may have been accustomed to in their home. We should take them in as one of the group and help make them happy during their stay at school.
The parents are interested in the welfare of their children. While the children are in school and away from their parents they should write them at least one time each week. The children like to get mail. The parents should write the children frequently.
The building and repair funds which the legislature appropriated for the school have nearly all been spent. A great many improvements have been made with these funds. A large number of the buildings have been repainted the past summer. We will appreciate the staff and the students assistance in keeping these buildings neat, clean and in good repair. An orderly classroom is conducive to better learning. A clean dormitory building encourages better work on the part of students. A well kept campus reflects a good school program and will have a good carryover in the lives of our students.
The students and staff members should not ask for special privileges. When all people in an organization are treated alike there is no room for criticism about showing partiality. If a student makes a request for something that is not granted, he must remember that the welfare of the other students must be considered in making each decision. If other students could not be granted the same thing under similar circumstances then it is best that the request be denied.
We must take every precaution to guard the safety of the boys and girls. In our work and play we must be careful to avoid accidents. We must be particularly careful about fire hazards. We solkit the help of each student and staff member in maintaining a good safety record.
I want to be the friend of each boy, girl, and staff member. If they have probelms that they want to discuss with me please feel free to come to my office at any time, day Or night. I want the parents to know that I want the boys or girls to accomplish as much as possible from attendance at the school and that I am interested in their welfare. I will strive to make the school a good institution for teaching the deaf.
Your Superintendent,
Alfred L. Davis

THE INTERMEDIATE DEPARTMENT

A. CLASS
If you look around the G. S. D. campus and pick oUt the four bestlookling boys and the six prettiest girls, you will have chosen the members of the A Class, Intermediate (says their teacher).
The A 'Class in the Intermediate Department is the highest one in that department. There are ten pupils in the class. Seven of them were in the B Class last year and they have been joined by three more from other classes.

The four boys are: Bobby Jones of Jacksonville, Jadie Norris of Columbus, Dickie Taylor of Macon, and Clifton West of Cedartown.
These boys and girls are very ambitious. It is thetir desire to attend college after they finish G. S. D. They are spending five or six periods a day in academic classes and two in vocational classes. They all made fine progress last year. They grew a lot and had a nice rest during the summer. Now we are expecting fine endeavor and splendid ach~evement from them this year.

THE PRIMARY DEPARTMENT

We are the larger of the two beginning classes. School is a new experience for a few of us, but some of us have been ,in school before, either here or at home.
We have five girls and six boys in our group. and we would like to introduce ourselves and tell you where we are from. Our girls are Melody Bracewell from Dublin, Virginia Cain from Atlanta. Flo Parker from Albany, Linda Reid from Augusta, and Linda Wil'Iiams from Trion. Our boys are Carl Bowman from Blakely, Ronald Dennis from Columbus, Thomas Doyle from Sylvania, Randy Hall from Eton, David Massey from Flintstone, and George McAdams from Lilburn.
We are a lively group of boys and girls. but we are already learnling to work together nicely and we feel sure that we will have lots to tell you later about the interesting things that We have learned.
Jim Irwin's Class
Our class is one of the two beginning classes. There are ten children in the class - seven girls and three boys. L yda Hitchcox is the baby of the class. She's only five years old and lives in Rossville. Mike Merritt, our little red head, lives in Flowery Branch and won't be six until November. The six year olds are Ann McPhail from Moultrie, Tommy Smith from Ringold. Brenda Ellison from Carrollton, Ruth Lee from White, and Sheila Wood from Hahira. Then there are three who are seven years old - Joe Hendrick from Atlanta, Jean Madnen from Rome and Carolyn Clay from College Park.

All but one of this group have been in school one year and they did good work. This year should see them well into second year work.
Mabd Fincher's Class
Each year as I start the new school term, I am filled with enthusiasm for all the things I hope to accomplish, although it somehow seems that I never quite accomplish all I plan and hope for. However, each year continues to find me enthusiastic and hopeful as before. and this one is no exception.
I hope thirteen will prove to be our lucky number for there are just that many in the class, seven girls and six boys. ranging in age from seven to eleven. They are Dan Adams of Duluth, Polly Blackwell of Rutledge, Byron Cantrell of Carrollton. Michael Coleman of College Park. Sonja Cone of Albany. Alfred Doyle (who brought his little deaf brother to school with him this fall and over whom he has diligently watched) of Sylvania, Gloria Lanham of Cartersville, Paul Maddox of Bonaire. Mary Lou Millsaps of Blue Ridge. Jackie Priest of Stonewall. Eleanor Read of Augusta. Louise Steele of Newnan, and Jimmie Welch of Dalton.
The children all seem happy to be back with their little friends, but home is never forgotten. I'm sure you parents fully realize that news from home always makes the day a little brighter and will keep letters and cards coming this way.
