This past week has been •
busy one for the K-6 grades.
They have been busy with
practice of the Disney produc
tion and their home work as
well as school work. This is a
big week for these young
students! They have worked
hard in order to insure a
successful program Friday
night. We hope that the
weather will cooperate as well
as the students have and that it
will be a beautiful night! We
certainly do not want their
costumes to get wet after all
the work that has gone into the
making of them.
Let us give credit where it is
due, and we think that it is
more than due to the following
teachers, Mrs. Julius Banzet,
III, the director and pianist for
the "Disney on Parade"
production, and Mrs. Carlton
Quails, Jr., the costume
designer. These two have been
assisted by Mrs. Wallace
Brown, Mrs. John Coleman,
Mrs. Jim Davis, Mrs. A1
Fleming, and Mrs. Bob Traylor.
Do not forget "Disney on
Parade" Friday evening, March
eight institutions under his
jurisdiction, saying they were
analogous to eight children
loved by 'their father.
An informative talk on school
consolidation proceeded. Consolidation
means "a united
front" which would provide "a
better facility" and therefore,
"a better curriculum." Consolidation
would "allow more
opportunities for the gifted
students," providing "better
music ' departments, better
science departments, with
more space, facilities, and
equipment." Mr. Peeler felt
that improved school facilities
would create community unity
which would be a drawing force
for industry. He reported on
the progress being made,
regarding land acquisition and
approval of such acquisition by
state organizations involved in
such plans.
The meeting was adjourned.
Plans for P.T.A. spring and
summer projects will be
discussed at the April 25th
meeting.
25, at 8 p. m. This promises to
be the most exciting evening
ever at Warren Academy. We
promise that you will be
"carried away" with the
costumes, scenery, the lighting
effects and the talented
students at Warren Academy.
The baseball season starts
this Friday. The game will be
played on the field at the
Recreation Center. The opposing
team is Northeast Academy,
and the game starts at
3:30 p.m. We wish our baseball
team a successful season! Let
us start the season right and
win the first game!
We are happy to announce
that this year for the first time
Warren Academy will have a
girls' softball team. This team
will be coached by Mr. Bobby
Fleming, who coached the J.V.
girls' basketball team to a
conference championship. We
hope the softball team will do as
well. Their first game will be
Friday, March 25, at 3:30 p. m.
The opposing team is Northeast
Academy. The game will be
played on the Warren Academy
athletic field. Good luck and
may all of you hit home runs!
The boys' baseball team and
the girls' softball team will be
playing on the same day, at the
same time, and same academy.
The golf team, composed of
Carl Quails, Robert Porter, Jeff
Andrews, Victor Coleman and
Allan Burrows, has its first
match of the season Thursday,
