Many compliments have been made by both members of the school and citizens of the town, as to the class of work turned out by them.

SCHOOL NOTES - Our superintendent, Mr. Raynor has been on the skk Hat for the past s week-end, bat we sincerely hope he will not be kept from school on account of sickness. Hiss Thelma Jewell, a member of the faculty was a visitor in Winton Sunday afternoon. Candy was sold by two members of the Columbian Literary Society last Tuesday during the short inter mission, the proceeds going to the treasury of the society. The school children hmy returned to school to resume their studies after a week of mid-term examinations. The basket-ball team of Ahoskie was delightfully entertained Saturday afternoon at home of Mrs. J. G. Raby in Tarboro. Dinner was served at one. After dinner they were enter tained by playing interesting games. The guests departed about three o'clock bidding their hostess a pleas ant afternoon. Norwood Whitley, captain of the Tarboro team was hostesa at a ban quet given in honor of the Ahoskie basket-ball team at his home Friday night, January 12th., in Tarboro. After meeting his guests at the door he ushered them into the sitting room, where a radio concert was going on. At the completion of the concert, the guests went into the dining room where a sugar palling contest was en joyed. Delightful refreshments were served, and interesting games were played all daring the evening. The guests present from Ahoskie were: Messrs. Horace Garrett, Robert Hog gard, Cedric Leary, Arthur Greene, Thomas Baker and C. C. Sessoms. Miss Margaret Sessoms, a member of the faculty has returned to school after several days of illness.

Misses Bessie Gaddy and Emily Gayle were delightfully entertained Saturday night, January IS,' at the home of Miss Sylvia Applebaum. Sugar pulling was one of the chie# events of the evening. There were several other guests, including girl friends of the hostess. Because of the examinations, and exemptions there was no meeting of the literary societies last week, but the regular meetings will be continued on through the rest of the session, beginning with this week School notes continued? Dr. ^pd Mrs. J. G. Raby of Tar boro delightfully entertained the Ahoskie High School basket-ball team at luncheon, January 18th, during their stay in Tarboro last week. Those who were the recipient of Dr. and Mrs. Raby's hospitality were Horacfe Garrett, Robert Hoggard, Cedric Leary, Thomas Baker, C. C. Sessoms and Arthur Greene. THE FUNNY-BONE Miss Gayle on Science class? "Robert, what ia the interior of the earth composed oft" Robert HoBoman?"Animals." Cedric Leery, one of our seniors is haying considerable difficulty in con struing the difference between 6:46 and a quarter past six, as seas demon strated on French class, while ex plaining the idioms by which the French express time. John Dock, addressing Mr. Raynor after teacher's meeting?"feasor, does you haf to teach dem too?" Will tho Board Keop lb Contract? The school board at Green City, Missouri, has played a joke on itself through a blunder In the teachers' contracts. The contracts which were signed by the teachers were especially prepared to prevent the instructors from participating in some of the small town pleasures which are fre quently indulged hi by the profession. The clause which was intended to remedy the evils was as follows: '"the second party hereby agrees to refrain from dancing, or the use of tobacco ia any form, or keeping company with studepta of the oppo Bit. -X." The jok* earn* to light after the contracts were signed and it was dis covered that the "second party" was the board of education and not the teachers. Ha Had LmI Oat Once each summer the boys of a certain school on the east side of New York City are taken to Coney Island for an outing. The events of the day are a big dinner and a swim in the ocean. A teacher in supervising the swim overheard the following conver sation : "Gee, Pete, you're dirty!" "Ill tell 'em" said Peter. Ya see I missed the boat last year." Teacher?Has any one else a ques tion T Sleepy Student?Yes; what time is it? Student?Whet pert of the body ie the fray, Miss Smith? Miss Smith:?Frey? Whet ere yon talking about?

Mies Smith (explaining to' class thet their next lesson will be en oral composition)?"You must be full of your subject to be eble to speek well." Boy?"My subject ie going to be liquor." Cedric Leery on French cless? "Let's organize e French club. How would you like thet?" Mr. Raynor?"I always could do better with e hickory." "He's the guy I'm laying for." said the hen as Mr. Brown crossed the barnyard. "Here goes a flapper too." said the hen se she flew down from her roost in the cegar tree.

She?"Yes, but ifs quite early in the evening yet." Teacher?"John give me a sentence using the word responsibility. Pupil?"One of the buttons on my pants, that my suspenders was but toned to broke off, and put all of the responsibility on 'the other but ton." i . PARENT-TEACHER ASSOCIATION The regular monthly meeting of the Parent-Teacher Association was held in the school auditorium last Friday evening. The meeting was called to order by Miss Mina Hollo man, president and the regular busi ness meeting was held. Different committees made their reports and other matters taken up. Then the Association was delightfully enter tained by the third grade. This grade under the leadership of their teacher gave a splendid dramatisa tion of Mother Goose, which was warmly received by the audience. Dr. C. G. Powell, chairman of the Board of Trustees, then made a few re marks telling what plans are matur ing in the minds of the board relative to a new building here. This was good news to all present. The meet ing was a distinct success. We feel that the interest in our schools grows with each meeting. * REVIEW We have finished half the journey! Half the race is run! Last week marked the point where we as stu dents finished the fall term of work and the mid-term examinations (those of ua who had to take them.) This week brings many changes in our school fife. We turn our faces to our spring term work with light and happy hearts, and even now we can see beyond the budding blossoms of spring and behold in our imagination the day of all days for the Seniors? graduation. ?fut before we turn our faces from the fall term work for the last time it seems highly proper J>y this humble scribe to take a rapid review of the work this school has accomplished during the present ses sion. Early in the' session we divided the high school pupils into two groups and organised two literary societies*? Hesperian and Columbian. These societies have done much good work already, the reports of which havel ,. . ?PP^wa in ui?N coiums every wnk. Ws wish to thsnk our teacher* for planning thi? vary pleasant phase of aehool work for us. We took a decided stand in ath letics from the very rirst, organising an athletic association and under its guidance and supervision organising two hoy's basket-ball teams, and a girls' basket-ball team. These teams have thus far met with muck suc cess, and have been the means of greatly increasing our school spirit, aa well as furnishing much pleasur able and healthful exercise. The success of our athletics has been brought about vary largely by dona tions from interested patrons and friends of the school. Ws take this Opportunity to thank them for it Not one cent of {ha money has been We as student* an very proud of the Parent-Teacher Association which made it* initial appearance in our school during the past fall term. We have no duties to perform in this work except to take part in the pro grama which an given at every regu lar meeting. This we gladly do, feel ing that while we derive much good) training from these stage experiences, J we also aid the Association in caus-l Ing a larger attendance at the meet ings and thus do our bit toward arousing, interest in the school and in showing the imperative need of a nw building to house our high school department. Our library has been overhauled and new books purchased. We can boast of a very good library, and many students avail themselves of the opportunities for good reading. Other orders for books will be placejj soon. The Parent-Teacher Association gave us fifty dollars to spend on our li brary. We thank the members most sincerely for their donations. We realise that the Association is stand ing back of us. This realisation en courages us very much. We try to ap preciate fully ell these opportunities - which are ours. Sometimae we are moved to think "How fortunate we are" And in this connection I can mention the purchase of addi tional laboratory equipment to supply the needs of our classes in science. This addition was made possible through the Trustees. We acknowl edge our gratitude to them. They are a loyal eet, and stand squarely behind the school. u? out noiuan comes ine n*r whoop." We as students feel that the success ef "The Warwhoop" goes unquestioned. It sprang into exist ence a full blown rose under the su perb leadership of Thomas W. Baker. We are glad that it is read very large ly by the students and patrons of this school and we hear that it is read also by people of other towns nearby. We do not wish to boast of this. How ever, we are proud of this means of conveying to outsiders an accurate account of the work done in out school, and give them some idea of our real school life, which this year is made a pleasure for us in several ways. Wa feel that from now on "The Warwhoop" will have its own place in our school work, and in the hearts, of all loyal students. But with all these successes there comes the minor chord, the note of failure. We are sorry to do this, but nevertheless it must come. Our work all along has been handicapped by lack of accommodations in the way of class rooms, equipment for labora tory, lack of sufficient space for dif ferent playgrounds and playground equipment. All this is needed and needed badly: Patrons and friends of this school, we appeal to you to rally to our needs and to your obli gations to us. Ahoeide High School is just entering upon a great era. Not two years have elapsed since she rose to the dignity of an acsredited high school. Even in these short months, (not two sessions yet) pupils have come from the outside and clamored for entrance until we have reached our limit. Next year well have to deny admission to all outsiders unless our new building materialises. Ahos irie now has enough children to crowd this school to its limits. But this is not my subject. I have out lined the work of (Us fall term. Let us hope for greater successes during the spring term. Such is the deep desire of this humble scribe. % i ' J MUSIC HONOR ROtX.
