Tickets for the Vance Senior High production may be purchased at the door or from any cast member. Curtain time is 8 p. m. As the story unfolds, Danny Churchill, a rich New York playboy portrayed by Rob Allen stands to inherit his father's estate if he lives on an Arizona ranch for a year. Following his uncle's request, which will hopefully reform him, he takes off for the "Sunshine State." A Brooklyn taxi driver, Louie, played by Jimmy Edwards provides the transportation for the 2,500 mile trip. Once in Arizona, he transforms his western ranch into a dude ranch which attracts numerous female vacationers from the East. The transplanted New Yorkers find "Buzzard's Ranch" the perfect spot for romance and literally go girl crazy. All ends well after Louis wins the election for sheriff beating Lank, the town villain played by Steve Rogers. Everyone lives happily ever after in the big, beautiful west as Churchill and Molly, a local girl, portrayed by Giselle Braitenberger and Louie and Rose, his Brooklyn counterparts played by Carolyn Barnette find love at the ranch, according to the release from the local school. Smoke Signals News Of Warren Academy Amidst smiles and a lot of pride the Warren Academy annual, The WafHor, Wlas, given bfat to fht indent last week. The ones who had worked long and hard over the annual were happy with the results. There is still a lot of autographing going on and probably will be until the end of the schoolyear. The theme of the annual was "Friends," and it was well carried out. We think the annual was just great. We would like to congratulate Mrs. Nancy Williams on the honor bestowed upon her by the members of the senior class, the dedication of the annual to her. Now is the time to give credit where it is due, and it is due to the members of the annual staff and their sponsor, Mrs. Mildred C. Johnson. M, at 8 p. m. The last play, Owr Taw*, that was presented by Mr. Peoples and his drama same category of excellence. Those of you who came to the last play will enjoy this one just as much even though the two plays are not in the same vein. This play is a comedy and OurTown was a drama. For an entertaining evening be, sure to come to the play and bring a friend! The softball and the baseball team each came through last Friday with a win. Enfield Academy won the second games in the doubleheader. The Warren Academy teams played N.E.W. Academy Tuesday afternoon on their home fields. We are hoping to be able to report two victories for each team next week! The golf team lost a match last week to Durham Academy by one stroke, but won the match over Westchester Academy. The team traveled to Scotsfield Club Monday and played in the Carolina Athletic Conference tournament. We are very happy to say that our golf team is the conference champion. The team not only won the tournament; Carl Quails was low medalist with a score of 72. Jeff Andrews and Allan Burrows tied for second place. Carl Quails also won low putts. Winning the CAC tournament enables the team to play in the district tournament in the near future. The golf team will meet Ravenscroft on their home course at the Warrenton Golf Club on Thursday, May 5. Ravenscroft was the winner of their last match, but we are hoping the strokes will be less for our team and Ravenscroft will have more strokes this time! Good luck, team, hope you have a lot of "birdies' and "eagles!" We had Mr. Larry Huelsman at Warren Academy on Wednesday, May 4. He talked with the students, age 17 and over, about bloody donations to the Red Cross Blood Center.

Driver Injured When Truck Strikes Bank One driver was injured as two separate accidents involving embankments were reported by the highway patrol during the weekend. Elmer Wells, 52, of Route 1, Warrenton, was injured and later transferred to Duke Hospital following an accident on rural road 1133 about a mile and a half east of Vicksboro on Saturday at 2:20 a. m. Trooper W. C. Palmer reported that Wells was driving east on Road 1133 when he lost control of his truck in a curve, crossed the left side of the road and hit a ditch embankment. Wells was first taken to Maria Parham Hospital. Damages to the 1977 model truck was estimated at $2000. Trooper A. M. Bennett explained that a single-car accident was reported on Saturday at 11:30 a. m. near the intersection of Highways 58 and 43 in the Liberia section.

She reportedly swerved to the right to avoid a dog as she was rounding a slight curve on Highway 58, skidded, ran off the right side and struck the ditch embankment, causing the auto to overturn with the wheels and right side up. Miss Davis was not injured in the smash-up but damages to her 1970 Ford were set at $450. Fishing accounts for 80 percent of Iceland's exports, the National Geographic Society says. John Graham High Happenings By KAREN HILLARD Frantic is the word to describe the atmosphere at John Graham during the past week. There were many activities in the i planning stage, as well as on the agenda. It seems quite evident that teachers and students are thankful for the weekends when they can get a chance to slow down a little. It is hoped that the John R. Hawkins rising sophomores had an enjoyable day last Friday when they visited our school to register for classes for the 1977-78 year. Students enjoyed the folk music shows which were presented on Monday. There were four shows presented by Bill Phillips. Each show contained jazz, blues, country and gospel renditions accompanied by several different instruments including the mandolin, guitar and harmonica. Lisa Bobbitt attended East Carolina University in Greenville last weekend upon invitation from the Chancellor. Lisa is a junior and was selected because of her superior scores on the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT). JG Cheerleader tryouts are being held this week at the John Graham Gymnasium. Pr- "tices begin at 3 p. m. each afternoon through Thursday, ending at 5 p. m. Teachers across the county have been attending meetings this week (Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday). On Tuesday, the meeting allowed for all students to have a shortened school day as schools dismissed at 2 p. m. The Jackets defeated Bluestone by a score of 8 to 4 Monday afternoon. Thursday (today) the Jackets travel to Norlina to contend with their arch rivals, the Blue Waves. The game is at 7 p. m. There's sure to be plenty of action. So Sock It To'em Jackets! The Jackets will host a conference track meet on Friday afternoon at the JG Athletic Field. Signs of graduation appear as the big day draws near. Seniors will receive graduation invitations, caps and gowns next week. The junior class has been working diligently in committees to get the 1977 Jr.-Sr. Prom underway. Invitations were sent to Seniors and special guests this week and whispers of who will be wearing what could be heard over the entire campus. The prom will be Friday, May 13 (hopefully not an omen) at 8 p. m. in the JG Gymnasium. Many thanks to all who made the "Hee Haw — JG Style" performance a grand success, participants as well as patrons. A lot of hard work went into the show, but workers and watchers alike enjoyed it and had a lot of laughs. Thanks to all! Two trips are scheduled for Friday, May 6. The French classes will be visiting Tryon Palace in New Bern and the Library Club will be making their annual trip to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Thanks to the National Honor Society members who did a superb job as guides last Friday. The members helped Hawkins' visitors find their way around and offered other assistance. 1 Intensive cultivation of cotton, Egypt's major crop, produces one and a half times as much per acre as in the United States, National Geographic reports. Driest Spot The driest spot on earth is the Atacama Desert, Chile, where the rainfall is barely measurable, the National Geographic Society says. At Calama, a city in the desert, no rain ever has been recorded. The rainiest place is Hawaii's Mount Waialeale, which receives an average of 460 inches a year. One year the total was 624 inches—a foot of rain a week. The average household in Japan subscribes to two daily newspapers. Students in Warren Academys' Drama Clab practice for their spring production of "The Admirable Crichton" to be presented Friday and Saturday night at the school.
