Hear Symphony
By PAUL THOMPSON
On Thursday last, the North
Carolina Symphony, under the
direction of Mr. Cook, gave an
excellent performance to 925
elementary students in the
John Graham gym. Although
the high school students were
not allowed to hear the
orchestra, this writer was able
to listen in order to get some
photos for the yearbook. It was
magnificent!
The Yellow Jackets had a
rough week last week. The
varsity boys lost two, one to
Bunn and another to Vaiden
Whitley. The girls beat Bunn
last Tuesday and were inactive
the rest of the week. The
Jayvees lost to Vaiden Whitley
but beat the Norlina jayvees.
On Tuesday the Yellow Jackets
travelled to Louisburg. Friday
they will face Franklinton. Both
games are away.
The first semester ends
Wednesday. To the vast relief
of the students, the school year
is half over! No school will be
held Thursday or Friday this
week in order to enable the
teachers to go over the grades
accumulated in four and a half
months. Report cards will be
issued Tuesday, Feb. 3. That's
all the news for this week,

finest aerospace collections.
The live animal collection is
what fascinated everyone most.
Some liked the lions and the
peacocks, others liked the

the forest's most graceful
animal, the deer.
Others watched with interest
the various snakes, gazed in
wonder at the size of the
