BAND WILL ENTER
MARCHING CONTEST
In the district contest held in W'in-
stoii-Salem some time ago, the high
school band, directed by Mr. Julian
Helms, was rated excellent by two of
the judges and superior by the third.
Although this rating is not sufficient
to enable the local organization to enter
the state music contest, which will be
held in April, it can participate in the
marching contest.
In the meantime, Mr. Helms plans
to present a formal concert on Sunday
afternoon, April 18, and, for the bene
fit of the student body, he will at some
future date, give a “Band Bounce” com
posed of popular tunes.
Judges for the district contest were
Allen Bone from IDuke Universih’, I'.arl
Slocum from Carolina, and James

Johnson’s Poem Used
At Easter Program
A number of years ago, James
Weldon Johnson, the Negro poet,
came to High Point high school and
talked to a group of teachers and stu
dents. This vear he returned in spirit
when his poem “The Crucifixion”
was presented at the Easter program.
Against a choral background of
Negro spirituals, seven speakers from
Miss Laura Meinnis’s Bible classes
gave the poet’s moving version of the
story of the crucifixion.
In the center of the softly lighted
stage was a huge gold cross with palms
and Easter lilies about it.
The speakers were Myrtle Best,
Bettv Draughn, Nancy Greer, Grace
Ann Guy, Jo Kimsey, and Barbara
Smart. Incidental solos were sung by
Bettv Sue Coltrane, Betty Jo Smith.
