Thursday, Sept. 8, 1938 General School Set Out For 19 Crowded Conditions Necessitate Many Schedule Changes Each high school pupil received a copy of the following school regulations? In order that you may secure the greatest benefit and that the school may give you it's best service under I the crowded conditions that we musf work it is necessary that some regulations be made and adhered to. We do n??t expect to make rules to covet every phase of conduct. We want you to fee! that this is vmn- ir.l that what is done i"4 for your benefit. You will bo expected to conduct yourself in an orderly manner at all times in 'ho building, in the busses and >n the playground. On entering the buildings you will walk quietly and talk only in a conversational tone. Every student will report to his home room before classes and at the end of the Inst period. You will be expected to stay out of the busses through the school day. Those students who bring lunch will be expecled to eat in their home room or in the lunch room. Waste baskets have been provided four your convenience both inside the building and out. You are ex pected to do your part toward keeping th? buildings and grounds neat and attractive. Those sutdents who are absent without a written or verbal permission from their parents will be suspended until parents have made arrangements to reinstate them. Students who come to school by buss will be permitted to go to town on Wednesdays at noon only. You are requested to notify your home room teacher if you wish to go at thus hour. Those going at any other time without | special permission from the superintendent will be suspended. Those students over sixteen years old who smoke may do so outside the regular class hours at only one place on the campus-approximately half way between the high school building and the woodworking shop. Smoking in the buildings or busses or during the regular class hours will be punished by suspension. Those students who carry less than five classes will spend the remaining period in the library. Time Schedule Is Changed In School Many inquiries have been received from local parents concerning the ; time schedule in use this year. Since it differs somewhat from the one last year, there has been some natur.i confusion, as well as tardies. School opens in the mornings a* 8:15 o'clock. In the high school a ten minute home room period follows to permit checking of class rolls and general preparation for the day's 1 work. A five minute period for chang- , j ing classes is then allowed, and the I first period begins at 8:30. It should be remembered, however, that a pupil is tardy if he arrives at school afO . t r Ivs tf .IV. \ The noon recess period begins a? 11:40, and ends at 12:30. School w ] dismissed at 2:50 in the afternoons. Parents are urged to cooperate!: with the school authorities in prevent-1 ing tardies. Local children should arrive at school between 8:00 and 8:15. In this connection, it might be noted that the school uses correct time. The town clock at the courthouse has been three minutes fast for about a year. There is at least one advantage in this fact, however, anyone who uses the town clock as standard time will always be a little ahead. Police officers of Mexico, Mo., <V drained a 100,000 gallon railway ,;i* water tank to recover a stolen dia . I mond thrown into it.

The old gong was at that time entirely inadequate foi the rapidly growing school, which had branched out into two shops and even into the graded school building. This fall further additions to the signal system have been made, necessitated by the further expansion ot the high school. At present the system consists of four units: a six-inch bell in each hall of the high school building, another in the graded school building, and a powerful, industrial typo horn on the roof of the high school building. The latter can be heard plainly all over the campus, and serves to warn the woodworking, physical education, and manual arts groups of the change of classes, as well as to call the thousand-odd pupils of both schools together for the opening of .school and at the end of the noon recess. Balanced Diet Is Provided By School Lunch Room For the benefit of the students who are new comers to the Murphy High School, and to those who are interested in the lunch room, Miss Benton, manager of the lunch room, would like to state students may receive their lunch in return for home grown produce. Value set on this produce will be the same as that in local stores. Prices for the items on the Menu vary from .2V4 to 0.5c. The daily menu itself includes soup, sandwiches, salads, meats, beverages and desserts. About eighty students visit the lunch room each day. As the average cost of lunch is only .10 or ,15c parents are urged to take advantage of these prices and provide their children with a well-balanced lunch. PUPPET SHOW Tuesday rr.;;rr?r.^ tue elementary school enjoyed a puppet show sponsored by the State Health Department and brought to us through Miss Hamilton, our county nurse. The show stressed the value and importance of taking care of our teeth. Dr. Parker To Conduct Extension Course Dr. W. A. Parker of the Extension Division of Western Carolina Teachers College begins for teachers this week. Last year his course was on Ancient and Medieval History. This year he may lecture on International Relations. SUBSCRIBE TO THE SCOUT se Scout, Murphy, North tiy WOODWORKING IS VALUABLE COURSE FOR STUDENTS Devote Opening Days To Preparing Shop For Years Work By Hall Cobb Registration was about completed in this department on Tuesday- There are two classes of three hours each per day. The size of the classes are limited to twentv-five .stnHpntc in each class. Approximately 30% of the students who took thus course last year are registered for the course this year with the other 70% coming out of the classes of last year's stuI dents front shop No. 1. This course in woodworking it intended, primarily, for the students who will, in all probability, not go to college after graduation but who will enter industry at that time. The course does not expect to turn out finished craftsmen?that could not be done in the time allotted but rather to give the hoys the opportunity of learning all of the principles of woodworking and to learn something of the production methods used in modern industry. The student who completes three years of this coutse is able to enter industry in a far advanced stage of apprenticeship, end, as a result, is able to reach the top much sooner. Aside from the time taken for registration, all of last week was spent in work on the shop building and equipment. All of the tools and machinery had been packed in grease and stored during the vacation. Ali of these items had to be unpacked, cleaned, and put in place. The workbenches have been thoroughly over hauled, tops planed, sanded, and painted. The lockers came in for an overhauling and a fresh coat of paint also. New lumber rucks have been built and are ready to receive the lumber which has been drying ail summer. The first year students will be started out in joint work. Nine of the most common joints used in woodwork must be completed by each student before he will be allowed to go ahead with other work. The course will, during the year, give the boys a thorough knowledge of the timber trees common to this section as well as all of the finer woods used ir> cabinet work. A course in drawing and blueprint reading will also be included. Each student is required to make a detailed drawing and a complete bill of material for each project before he is allowed to start on the actual construction. Construction methods and finishing methods will be interwoven throughout the entire course. To C?Jl"-' nandling and to speed up the work, the students are divided into crews with a foremen or crew leader in charge of the crew. Crews and crew leaders are changed each month. This system enables all of the men to get a chance to show individ: ual ability at planning work and handling men. Too, this tends to develop leadership in the boy. Our work last year was limited by the lack of adequate equipment. We had high hopes this year that we might be able to add evsrsl pieces of very much needed machinery. We will not be able to do this at this time but hope very much that it wili be possible by the middle of the year. Parents whose sons are taking this course and who are interested in the work that they are doing are cordially invited to come down to our shopI and look it over. We shall be more I than glad to show you through the | shop and explain in detail any phase . of the work that you care to ask I about. ADAMS IN SYSTEM AGAIN Ws welcome Mrs. Martha Mayfield Adams back into the Murphy School unit. We regTet the loss of Miss Martha Nell Wells but rejoice in her promotion. Carolina Hig Junior Class Enrolls \ ? Largest School Class The Junior class began its worl; this year with around one hundred 1 and forty members. Ail of us were in I the old Study Hall until registration was finished, when Mr. Bueck moved approximately forty ni-Is into the Science laboratory with Miss Whitaker as home room teachers. Those girls return to room number four for lunch, where one hundred and two of us will carry on. ^ Much Interest Is Shown In Music ; Appreciation Course In order to add culture to their learning, the High School students . are being given the opportunity of a studying one of the fine arts-music. Theie are 29 boys and gills in the ^ High School Music class. The aim of the class is appreciation of and par- j ticipation in good music. "People and (| Music" by McGehee is being used as j a textbook. This book discusses ihc growth and influence of lnus'e from q the beginning of civilized life until c the present time. During the past a week the class has sung familiar songs nnu learned new two part v, songs. This year the students will 0 study all typos of museial composilions and composers. Already much jinterest has been shown in this work- Teacher's Conference Held At Bryson City On Saturday morning, Sept. 3rd, r a French Teachers" Conference was c held at the high school in Bryson li City for the French teachers in this s part of the state. Professor Guidez n of the University of North Carolina a gave some very helpful suggestions n as to the best use of the French text b books that have bgcn adopted by the.tl state.
