State wrestling meet, and the
tournament down in Hickory,

Congratulations to Mrs. Gentry

High spot of the week for high
schoolers of this motorized age
was the bus driver's teat which
was given on the morning of
March 2. They'd planned to give
not oaly the written test, but the
road test, on that date, but Jack
Harrison, who seems to be an im
portant cog in the road-test mach

couldn't help out this week.
Twenty-seven boys took the writ

Monday for the road test to see if
they qualify as next year's drivers.
