Bailey News | Inspection Period
BY MRS. C. A. McMBLLAN
You’ll be getting your children off to a good start
in the new school year when you provide them
with proper light for home study. Good light
prevents eye fatigue . . . aids concentration . .
makes seeing and studying easier. Check your
child’s study lamp now. Make sure it is equipped
with a 150-watt bulb and is properly shaded to
spread the light and eliminate glare. Better
light means better grades!

A change in regard to voting
has been brought about by House
Bill No. 52 which was enacted
into law by the 55th Legislature.
This law has been effective since
May 6, 1957, and provides that
any person who is entitled un-
der the law to assistance (in pre-
paring his ballot because of some
visual, physical, etc., incapacity)
to select any qualified voter liv-
ing in his precinct to assist him-
but before assisting the said
voter, the person selected is re-
quired to take an oath.
The old law provided for
assistance to voters only through
two election judges and now thr
disabled voter can bring in some -
one who is not an election of-
ficial.

SCHOOL GROUNDS
Pupils of the school are really
proud of the new playground
space. The area in front of the
elementary building has been
extended, and big rocks which
were hazardous and unsightly
have been removed. Last year
there was practically no play
space. This year there will be
a smooth place for playground
activities. Eventually some of
the grounds should be beauti-
fied.
FRESHMEN — The freshman
class is happy to have two new
members enrolled. They are
Linda LeBlane from Mississippi
and Ben Rayburn from Wolfe

Inspection time has rolled
around again for more than four
million automobile and truck
owners in Texas.
The inspection period has been
lengthened this year under a
provision of a state law setting
Sept. 1, 1957 until April 15, 1958
as the time in which all vehicles
must be checked for mechanical
defects.
Col. Homer Garrison, Jr., di-
rector of the Texas Department
of Public Safety, in announcing
the opening of the inspection
period, recommended that every
owner have his cars and trucks
inspected at the beginning of the
period. This, he said, will en-
able vehicle owners to obtain in-
spection stickers before the
holidays and before the last
minute “log jam” at inspection
stations.
Garrison said that more than
4,200 licensed inspection stations
in the state would have stickers
on hand, by the starting date and
would be equipped to check ve-
hicles without delay.
SECOND AND THIRD
GRADES — The reporter for the
SUMMER SCHOOL IN HERE
When we remember those hot
days of summer school last year,
we appreciate our new building
more than ever, and students
seem to be determined to make
the best of the new school year,
1957-58. Although seven-thirty
finds some of us rather sleepy;
we soon realize that others are
wide awake and lessons are in-
evitable. For eighteen members
of the Senior class this is the last
year in Celeste High School.
For them and all the other stu-
dents, the editors of the Blue
Devil’s Den hope to record the
various school activities for the
coming year.
WELCOME
The students and teachers are
happy to welcome three new
members to the faculty, G. W.
Tillerson, superintendent; H. W.
Lytal, and Mrs T. B. Weather-
ley, Jr. Under the guidance of
Mr. Tillerson the schedule has
been rearranged and is now
working smoothly. Mr. Lytal is
already busy with teaching and
coaching. Mrs. Weatherley, who
teaches the second and third
grades, has been in the school
before and was a successful and
popular teacher. To these three
the school extends a sincere
welcome.
week is Barbara Gibson. They
are glad to have Ronnie Cape-
hart back with us this year,

ioom part of the day. They
sorry that Vicki Foster is absent
this week. Hurry back to school,
Vicki.
Date for opening of the fall
semester at East Texas State
College has been set for Monday,
Sept. 16 with the orientation of
new students.
Enrollment for the first -semes-
ter is expected to number around
2400 students, states John S.
Windell, registrar. As compared
with last year, the expected en-
rollment will be an increase of
approximately 10 percent with
quite an increase in freshmen
students, Windell adds.
First hints of the beginning of
another school year will be con-
firmed by the opening of all
dormitories Saturday Sept. 14,
| and a faculty meeting which will
be held that morning.
All beginning freshmen and
all transfer students should ar-
rive on the campus not later
than 8:30 a.m. Monday, Sept. 16,
to begin the two day orientation.
All new students should send
to the registrar a transcript of
their previous high school or
college work prior to arrival on
the campus. This information
is necessary before a student is
officially admitted to school and
serves as an aid in planning of
each student’s schedule.
