A List of P
The Cove Creek Agricultural Fair,
which has begun to take on the proportions
of the usual county fair,
drew a greater interest this year than
at any time since its inception, according
to Howard Walker, agricultural
instructor at Cove Creek High
School, who has sponsored the event
yearly. Large crowds attended from
every section of this mountain country
and Lie exhibits of farm products
and the round of entertainment
provided the visitors combined to
make of this years' fair the very best,
in the history of the organization

in the many classifications has been
unavoidably delayed up to this time.

glad to furnish the names of those

the judges for their excellence. In'

Reports lor the first school month ;CI
show that 4i>7 pupils have been en-"'
rolled ir. the Cove Ci-eek High School 3C
and an average attendance of 450 has!
been made. The high school averaged!
200 while the elementary school av-!cc
eraged 250. I
Tlie Community Club, under the;
leadership of Miss Annie Dougherty,!
has put up over 100 cans of soupj
mixture to be used this winter for d<
the undernourished children of the'hi
school. Plans are being worked out.|
to develop a luuck room in the base ; hi
mcnt of the high school building. The; b;
lunch room will open about the first
of December. ?
The schedule for the high school
this year provides tor an Hour period fK
for all classes and also provides for : ^
an hour and a half for the classes in < w
Home Economics and Agriculture. |
This system gives much more tlme|
for supervised study and both pupils!
| and teachers are well pleased with JC1
uu*= cxmiige. xvo recess penoas are
given except the hour at noon lunch. ^
An opportunity is afforded each pupil
to Lake the course offered in phy-j"xV
?ai^ni.. nd-.iication. This course has been {T
given thus far in the open, but nowt^
that the weather is cooler the classes.'6'
will be conducted in the gymnasium.
The course in physical education will ai
include sanitation, hygiene and health n
lectures besides the regular exercis- lc
es, drills and games. It will also in- ^
elude lessons in first aid.
The agricultural fair sponsored by c
the classes in agriculture and home w
economics under the supervision of
W. H. Walker and Miss Annie Dougherty,
was the most successful ever w
held here. The exhibits were of high ^
order and tastefully arranged. A tea-|
cher and pupil assistants were in 111
charge of the various departments Jw
and much credit is due the.se work- a1
ers for the success of the fair.
We want to take this opportunity ^
also to thank the various contribu- tors
for their valuable aid in making i
the fair possible. To those who advertised
in the fair booklet, to those
who contributed premiums and to all
who co-operated we express our appreciation.
A negro minstrel was presented
each night. Mr. George Karthi ig, di- v
rector, and a number of characters
drawn from the community, pupils
and teachers, rendered a highly entertaining
program. The nrrw^Ha ^ ?
