The Junior-Senior Prom
was quite an affair. The
gym was beautifully decorated
carrying out the
theme song, "Here Comes
the Sun." The backdrop with
the sun and trees was a
masterpiece. The ]uniors
and their sponsor, Mr.
Peoples, put in many long
hours, but they were well
spent because the whole
affair was beautiful. The
seniors say thanks to the
juniors for a night they will
long remember.
An after-party was enjoyed
by the juniors and seniors
at the home of Charlie
Currin. The party for the
seniors was hosted by the
junior class. Also enjoying
the party were some of the
alumni who were already
out of college for the
summer.
A breakfast for the juniors
and seniors was hosted by
some of their parents. It was
appreciated by all and a
special thanks to the parents
who arose at a very early
hour and helped in the
preparation of the breakfast.
The students are having to
buckle down this week in
order to bring up their
grades or keep them up in
order to be exempted from
exams. The last few weeks
are always the hardest, it
seems, with so much going
on at school. It is hard to
concentrate on studies with
graduation and end of school
so near. Also, thoughts are
constantly turning to the
lake, the beaches, and the
good times to be had when
school is out. But we must
remember that hard work
pays off in the long run.
Last Friday the sixth
grade traveled to Rocky
Mount for their special
outing. They had a good
time at Skateland and
recommend it highly. They
had lunch at Hardee's, and
their trip was under the
sponsorship of Mrs. Diane
Davis.
The first grade is getting
ready for an exciting trip.
They are planning a trip to
the Mufceum „ of' Life and
Science located in Durham.
They wilfbb lea ving around
9 a. m. and returning around
3 p. m. Under the leadership
of Mrs. Libba Traylor, they
will be re-enforcing their
study of animals.
With much excitement the
third, fourth, and fifth
grades are planning a trip to
the historic city of New
Bern. They will be leaving
by chartered bus on Wednesday,
May 18. They are
planning to tour Tryon
Palace, the Fireman's
Museum, and other points of
interest.
We hope the weather stays
pretty for the trips, and If it
rains, which we do need,
that it will rain at night!
The kindergarten class is
really looking forward to
their commencement exercises,
Sunday, May 22, at 3
p. m. Under the direction of
Mrs. Julius Banzet, III, the

perform, please be sure to

entertaining and seem to be
enjoying every bit of their
performance.
The high school students
had their week last week,
and this week belongs to the
younger students with all
their planned trips and the
kindergarten exercises. We
hope they enjoy their week
as much as the juniors and
seniors did theirs!
