Summer Reading Pays Off
In Knowledge and Pleasure
“Boy, Jack, you sure know a lot”. How many times have
you heard that same statement about someone you know? Did
you ever stop to wonder why Jack knows a lot? Probably be-
cause he reads a lot. Maybe you feel that you don’t have enough
time to read. Have you ever thought about those lazy summer
hours when you have nothing to do. Why not try reading?
Reading can open many doors for Panola College students.
The same doors that Horace Greely threw open when he said,
“Go West, young man,” are open to today’s young people through
reading.
The summer months ahead will mean hours of “nothing to
do” or “I’m bored”. Reading can make the long summer days
worthwhile.
If you’re unhappy because you have to stay home, take the
poet, Emily Dickinson’s advice, and let books be your “frigate”
to take you miles away.
Develop new ideas through reading. The greatest source of
any industry is new ideas. Ideas come from people who read.
The International Paper Company says, “Send me a man who
reads”.
Summer is an excellent time for doing the kind of reading
that stimulates ideas and enriches the mind. It is a time when
books can be digested instead of skimmed. It is a time when
young people can read for pleasure instead of for information
for the moment.
Books for summer reading are readily obtainable. In Car-
thage, the Carthage High School Library and the Service League
Library will remain open for the summer vacation. The Shreve
Memorial Library in Shreveport is accessible to some PC stu-
dents. Most teachers are eager to lend books to students who
show interest or enthusiasm. Paperback books are available at
almost every drugstore and certainly at all book stores. People
who love and own books are happy to share their treasures with
others. If enough interest were shown, perhaps the Panola Col-
lege Library could set up a summer schedule. Whatever the
source, books are available to any man who really wants to
read.
EDITOR’S NOTE: This column
has appeared in three issues of
the nine published. Two of
these issues covered the fall
and mid-term officer elections.
The other seven omitted this
column because the clubs were
inactive.

viewed both teachers and stu-
dents for suggestions of books
for the Summer Reading Pro-
gram. The list of books which
a college student should read is
as follows:

Huxley; “Henderson The Rain
King”, Saul Bellow; “The Ad-
ventures of Augie March”,
Saul Bellow; “The Catcher in
the Rye”, J. D. Salinger; “The
Lord of the Flies”, Sinclair

case”, Bel Kaufman.

hardly be complete without a
survey of our worthwhile,
energetic clubs. Organiza-
tional meetings were conducted
for the Flying Club, the Future
Teachers, Country-Western Mu-
sic Club, the Rifle Club, the
Saddle Club, and a flock of
other groups.
With high-flown hopes and
waving banners, the organiza-
tions set about electing an of-
ficer for every conceivable
post. With this accomplished,
these lively people settled back
and well, settled back some
more.
Sporadic liveliness spurred
the groups to elect another of-
ficer or so, or maybe to talk
about some plans for the future.
The more on-the-ball groups
went so far as to select a pro-
ject or to set up some com-
mittees.
As a salute to these fine or
ganizations and the work they
have done, the PONY EX-
PRESS would like to present in
the space below a roster of the
worthwhile projects carried out
during this school year.
Since this paper went to press,
the EXPRESS has been pleased
to note that several clubs are
doing something this last month
of school: Bravo!
THE PONY EXPRESS
Express Salutes Soph. Graduates
Graduation time at Panola College means that many students
are halfway toward the goal of a bachelor’s degree. The door
of the junior college closes as the gateway to even greater things
swings open. Ahead lie various challenges that each individual
must meet by himself.
This institution has served as a stepping stone to greater
responsibility in today’s world. The grades show only one part
of the overall education here. Learning to work with people and
ideas have been accomplishments for many. It is here that
many sophomores learned that other people have rights and
opinions as well as they. For some, these two years have
taught them to really think and use their minds in all possible
ways.
There are few who will not merit their place of honor on
graduation night. All others have worked diligently to graduate
and for their efforts the PONY EXPRESS salutes the graduat-
ing class of 1965.
