Indifference and apathy in educational system is cause of voting problem
By Jan Hurst School Correspondent Well, thngs are back to normal here at F. H. S., now that all the six week exams are finally over. Everyone seems to be keeping quite busy with class meetings, organization meetings, and last but not least homework. Basketball practice started Monday, Oct. 2 with a good turn out of boys for this year’s season. The cross country team has completed its season with a fairly good record for the year. Seniors have been extremely busy this first 6 weeks with magazine sales, and now the selling of year books. The Juniors are already starting on the
: Prom so they're doing their share of work too. The Sophomores are extremely excited since they have ordered their class rings and are expecting to get them around Christmas time. The Freshmen are beginning to get into the swing of high school now and they had their first class party Oct. 13. The Junior High has been quite busy, too, with cheerleader elections and plans for parties. Pep Club met Friday, Oct. 20 and elected officers.

(By DAVID NYDICK) Why don’t millions of eligible citizens exercise their right and responsibility to vote ? Our j national strength is based up1 on the participation of the people through elected representaI tives. Perhaps, one of the ma1 jor causes of this problem of j indifference and apathy is the I educational system. Although much effort has j been made to increase the em- ! phasis upon citizenship education, there is still a lack of | creative methods and concen- ■ tration in many school curriculums. In too many situations, one finds citizenship education as an incidental part of a social studies program. It has been said that the ! direct teaching of citizenship is ■ indoctrination. Is that undesirj able? We cannot expect an in-
dividual to guess the nature of his responsibilities. He obtains such knowledge and understanding through education. He needs direction and motivation in order to develop the attitudes which are necessary to encourage cooperation and participation in activities concerned with public welfare and government. It is unusual to find a teachers’ college which requires a specific course in the teaching of citizenship. This actually should be a requirement for the issuance of a teacher’s license. Perhaps, it has been taken for granted that everyone knows what citizenship entails. Apparently just living in this country is supposed to develop one’s knowledge of his responsibilities. The naturalized citizen takes a course. The natural
i bom citizen receives no speci-, ! al instruction. Where is the logic ? j There is much to be learned, and understood regarding ci- i tizenship. How often have you heard someone insist they can j do something because this is a free country? They may have said that they are entitled to a college education or an execu-
tive job.
Actually, this country attempts to insure everyone an opportunity for a college education and an executive position, but does not guarantee that everyone will get them. There is quite a difference. The opportunity goes to all, but the individual must show other qualities such as ability, initiative, and interest in order to
take advantage of the opportunity. If we are free why can't w r e speed on the highway? Naturally, we would endanger life. Many laws restrict our freedom in order to protect the rights of our neighbors and ourselves. Students should nave the opportunity to discuss and understand these and many other concepts about our nation.
A school program should be designed to stimulate interest and develop knowledge about the participation and responsibility of individual citizens. Citizenship is learned. This is more important in our democracy than in any other form of government. The schools have a definite responsibility. This is a basic purpose of education in a democracy.

By ANNIE LEWIS I This last weekend was one of much activity. Thursday, Friday. Saturday, and Sunday most of the students met with their various classes to work on their floats. Though there was a lot ! of fun and horseplay, everyone had to admit that this year’s floats will be far better than last. Last Wednesday was our Halloween Carnival. During the afternoon most of the students were out of class decorating and setting up booths. The carnival w r as a great success and every- | one enjoyed themselves. The jail and the pie-throw' were great places for the students to get back at their teachers and friends; but the highlight of the evening was the crowning of the King and Queen. After voting, our King was a Junior, Jimmie Staley, and the Queen was a Senior, Susie Jent. This was not
