Boredom is a stupid plant; it breeds all i tself. Yetit remains a major problem to the American teenager,because many teenagers would rather complain thanwork for organiacd creative entertainment.

Simple innovation Oil a few students' part can reoverse this "stupid" situation. Dalton serves as a case

RodBtein in point. For veers mediocre "teen dances" twice awcre the only student"llevelopcd activities inside the realms of

law and good taste. Students complained. Editorials protested the sadstate of affairs. When an old church building opened its doors to stu-dents last summer, 01) one quite knew what to do in the building. Butslowly, a core of guitar enthusiasts, electronics freaks, amateur poets,and normal people of all kinds and outlooks began meeting in thebuilding

Then the complaints were heard in the community. Adults frighten-ed at the implications of an unsupervised hangout demanded that theplace be closed down.

As a reaction to the adults, students who saw the old church as theirfirst chance to prove themselves orgaruaed "the hangout" into some-thing morn constructive. The Dalton High Schonlliterarv magazine helda coffee house aile Saturday night. The elecrrorucs freaks organized aprofessional Iight ahow, And the art work begun on the walls of thechurch far surpassed done in the high school art classes.

talent are greater. But talk is cheap and only work and responsibilitycan give !lny city's youth something worth caring about.City Plans Recreation Move

"Macon on the Move" is certainly an appropriate motto for ourprosperous city . In many !lICaS, such as industry, education and reli-gion, our community is continuing to expand and thrive. However, thismotto has not been applicable to one Facet of ourcity'slife.

Along the way, Jess Iounnd a place in Indianawhich drew him like a magnet, although it was notas rich as land further west. Indiana's rich beauty,bubbling creek, and sloping land reminded him orhis old home, and it was to this place that he[brought his family to begin a life that was filledlwith laughter , tears, excitement, and love.

One of the most exciting episodes in the bookwas the escape of Lily a ~ Bnrk, a Southern slavecouple

Jess and Eliza grew and learned with their chil-dren, one of whom married a Methodist and final-ly got the Birdwells to accept the idea of a Christ-mas tree in tile parlor. The children never com-pletely changed then parents, though, for as Jesssaid, "Everybody's getting more worldly, Eliza;that is, everybody except for me and thee."

The piles began forming Thurs.day after school and were stillgrowing Friday morning.

During second period each classgathered outside around their pinestraw piles and sang class songs andmottos.

After return ing to second periodclass, Coach Bobby Brown fromMark Smith judged the piles. BetaClub members sold cookies to thestudent body. Coach Brown an-nounced the class having the largestpile of pine straw. The seniors lookthe first p lace honor, the sub-fresh -men came in second, and the jun-iors ranked third in the amount ofpine straw brought in.

Or have you ever passed aneighth grade class in session andheard the teacher ask a question,lind someone answering it withoutanyone in the class opening hismouth'! If you've done one of thesethings, and someone hasn't alreadytold you about it, you 're probablywondering what's going on.

The small brown box is an inter-com, and the unknown voice is thatof Becky Sapp, lin eighth grade stu-dent at Lasseter. Becky was upsetwhen she learned that shc wouldmiss six to eight weeks of schoolwith glandular fever. Miss AnnHenry, principal, suggested thatBecky's mother, Mrs. Julian Sapp,get an intercom installed in all ofBecky's clas.~es,_

Becky feels that the intercomhas helped her signifkantly whilcshe has been sick. She call listen toall of her classes, and ask and an-swer questions. Although this sys-tem is expensive, he r pa rents, teach-.crs, and Becky herself believe thatit is necessary and worthwhile.Arter all. says Becky, "Education ispriceless."JMM SpeaksFor Himself
