The day is observed with religious services in the churches, and especially in New England. The pilgrims set aside a day for Thanksgiving at Plymouth as soon as they made their first harvest in 1621; the Massachusetts Bay colony for the first time in 1630, and Connecticut as early as 1639. The Dutch in New Netherland appointed a day for giving thanks in 1644. During the Revolutionary Wary the Continental Congress appointed one or mor Thanksgiving days each year. President Lincoln appointed the last Thursday of November in 1864, and each President has followed his example. Thanksgiving season should be a happy season for everyone. It is a time of plenty. The crops are harvested, the woods are gorgeous in color, and the weather is cool and crisp. No wonder it is fitting that at this happy time we should open up our hearts in thankfulness for the __od things that have made our hearts ___d. Let us all celebrate Thanksgiving ____ the right spirit and practice thankfulness and kindness throughout the coming years. Hassie Belle Kelly --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mr. Clark walked into the room and asked, "Do you serve crabs here?" Mrs. Woodall: "Yeah, we serve anybody. Sit down." --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Martha: "Can you stand on your head?" Fannie: "Nope, its too high." --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- AN INTERVIEW CONCERNING SCHOOL TEACHING Three years ago Miss Lucille Bloodworth came to Omega to teach for her first time. She has made such a success in Omega that we hope we never have to lose her. When asked hwo she liked her work she said, "Fine, I enjoy it very much." I then asked, "Would you recommend teaching to young people who are trying to decide on their occupation for life?" She replied, "I would if that person likes to deal with people and if he or she can get along with children." We were speaking of colleges in which you get the best training for teaching. Miss Bloodworth attended three colleges; the U. of Ga., Ga. State College for Women, and Mercer. "And I prefer G. S. C. W. ten to one," she added. To the question, "Do you have a written plan to do you work by or do you vary it?" she answered, "I have a definite plan but I vary it so that the students will not tire of their work. I, also, have so much material; I vary my plan so that I might use as much of it as possible. When asked which she preferred to teach, high school or grammar school, she replied, "High school any time". When asked, "Why?" She answered, "Because I like to work with childred during the adolescent period better than at any other age." Then came the question, "Do you think that the demand for well-trained teachers will continue to increase in the future?" She said, "Definitely, yes. Not only will the state require them, but besides teachers will try to get as high a degree as possible in order to receive higher wages." --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- STUDENT INTERVIEW Mary Smith, a student, came from Barwich school to go to school at Omega. "How do you like to go to school Mary?" I asked. "I like it fine," quoted Mary. "Why do you like to go to school?" I asked. "To get a better education and learn more about people," replied Mary. (Continued on page 2) end of page one beginning of page two I asked, "What subjects do you like best in school?" "I like Occupational Guidance, English, and History." I asked, "Mary, what are you going to do when you finish school?" She said, "I am going in training for a nurse; that is twhat I've always wanted to do." Pauline Turner --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FOX HUNTING Mr. Clarke, a member of the Omega High School faculty, has fox hunting for his hobby. Mr. Clarke goes fox hunting because he likes the sport. When asked why he likes the sport he replied, "It is the only hunting sport in which you don't have to kill something to have a successful hunt, and, ___ I like to hear the music of the pack. Fox hunting is more successful without a kill because dead foxes don't run." Mr. Clarke said the best time to hunt was on Saturday mornings or Friday or Saturday nights when the moon is shinning bright. The seasons for hunting start in Sept. and last until about the last of February or the first of March. He said the reason for not hunting was that there were little foxes in the woods which you weren't suppose to kill. He also stated that you weren't supposed to kill the mothers of the little foxes. He continued to say that the races were about two or three hours long--if the weather conditions were good, and if the dogs made a strike soon. He added that somethimes the race lasted about six or eight hours. For a race to last this long it has to be in a bad swamp and, also, a good fox to stay ahead of the dogs that long. Mr. Clarke said that the dogs do the work, and the hunters slip around to watch when the fox and dogs pass by. He uses the July hound because as a general run, he runs faster races. Mr. Clarke said that lot of people had the impression that foxes eat young pigs and birds. He added that this was seldom the case. A bird dog will kill more birds when he is running loose in nesting season than several foxes. Hazel Crum --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SENIORS' INTENTIONS AFTER FINISHING HIGH SCHOOL "I plan to atten Mercer U. when I finish high school," says Alton Mitchem, editor-in-chief of the Black and White Flashes.

Do you think she'll make a success? She's the joke editor of the Black and White Flashes.

"I'm going to be a farmer," quoted John B. Mallory, "but I'm going to college at the U. of Ga. if I ever finish this High School course. Hassie Belle intends to speciali__ in music at Omega for quite a while. Good luck, Hassie. Sammie Hornbuckle says he is going to be a newspaper editor. Better get some pep about you, Sam. "I'm going to specialize in music at Wesleyan," says Frances Powell, the Society Editor of the Black and White Flashes. Paris Baker expresses his wish wanting to go to A.B.A.C. at Tifton. He wants to take a vocational course. We hope you'll make good, Paris, but you better quit paying so much sit___ion to the girls. Pauline Turner wants to be a clerk in a Dept. store. That will be tiresome work, Pauline, but don't give up. Harvey Clarke states that he is going to college at Tifton. He wants to be a bookkeeper. We hope you'll be successful, Harvey.

During the first quarter Pavo girls were in the lead 8 to 3, but during the second quarter the Omega girls started passing the ball and gained 10 points. The score at the end of the second quarter was 11 and 13 in favor of Omega. During the last half Pavo girls did not ring a field goal, but they rang two foul goals making the score at the end of the game 13 and 32 in favor of Omega. The Omega girls played Sumner Friday night Nov. 18 in Sumner. The Sumner girls were in the lead at the end of the first quarter. Then the Omega girls started passing the ball towards the goal and soon got ahead of Sumner. The Sumner girls did not score a point during two quarters of the game. At the end of the game the score was 11 and 17 in favor of Omega. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mr. Ammons: Now, Steward, what are you doing; learning something? Steward: No, sir. I'm listening to you. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Curly: Some things go without saying. Mrs. Johnson: Yes, but your tongue isn't one of them. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- BOYS SPORTS The Omega boys won another ball game at Pavo Nov. 11the by a score of 18 to 12. Omega took the lead in the first quarter and held it throughout the game. The game was one sided and Omega should have won the game by a much larger score. The Pavo shell is one of the nicest shells Omega has played in. Friday night Nov. 18th Omega lost a ball game to Sumner in the first quarter when Mull, playing center for Omega, fouled out. The Sumner boys took the lead shortly after the second quarter began and held it throughout the remainder of the game; although they won the Sumner boys were never able to ease up as the Omega boys held in there scrapping until the final whistle blew. This loss brought the Omega boys record for the season to three won and three loss. The boys are going to play Enigma Wed. night at the Omega shell and are planning on winning this game. FOOTBALL The Omega Juniors defeated the Tifton Junior Blue Devils in Tifton Nov. 4 by a score of 6 to 0. Although outweighted and being without equipment did not seem to bother the Omega lads. Omega won the toss and choose to kick off. Mallory kicked and the ball came to Bostic on the 10 yard line. He brought the ball back to the 15 yard line where he was stormed by Cooksey. Shortly after this the only score of the game came. The Omega line held and Bostic kicked to the 40 where Mallory was nailed in his tracks. Tow (two) line plunges and and end run put the ball on the ___. From this point Mallory faded back and fired a pass to Stancil in end zone. Bostic for Tifton playing left half was the outstanding man for Tifton, while Mallory was outstanding for Omega. There is an effort being made to arrange a game with the Moultrie Juniors for next week. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ann Harrel says she keeps all men at arms length.
