The annual staff has gotten off to a fast start. School pictures were taken last Wednesday. The annual staff was so well organized that we missed only a short time from class. The senior class elected officers last week. These are the new officers: David Connell, president; Robert St. Sing, vice-president; Denise Leonard, secretary and Donna Reid, treasurer. The junior class has already elected class officers. They-are: Jesse Young, president; Burges Burrows, vice-president; Beth Harris, secretary; and Melody Hilliard, treasurer. Congratulations to all these class officers. The cheerleaders have new uniforms and they are definitely "Warriorettes" now. The cheerleaders are Jill Wemyss and Rhonda Reid, co-chiefs, Elizabeth Newman, Robin Burgess, Marv Lou King, Beth Harris, Donna Coker, Lisa Haithcock, Melody Hilliard, Linda Bobbitt, Cindy Isles and Tonda Seaman. Congratulations to the returning cheerleaders and to the ones who were elected for the first time. We know that you will do an outstanding job in cheering the football team to victories. Last Friday the cheerleaders had a rousing pep rally at the end of the assembly program. Thank you, cheerleaders, for putting us in the right frame of mind for the game The weather had been dreary all day and we were in rather low spirits! We take this time to offer our condolences to Coach Kearney and the football team, but also our congratulations on the way the team played. The team played well in the game with Wake Christian Academy and Wilson Academy, but with a streak of luck in the last two minutes of both games, the opposing teams came out the winners Keep practicing, team, and playing the way you have been, and we will come out winners! Maybe we can find a way to shorten the last quar'^r by two minutes. Anyone with ideas????????

The flea market sale will begin at 10 a. m. sharp. Donations of used but usable items will be accepted.

There is no more relaxation for students; now back to tests, books and homework. Monday, the fifth day report, showed 445 students enrolled for the year. However, some students are still out of school working in the tobacco field. Maybe later, the enrollment will increase. The students and faculty all join in welcoming our two new teachers to N.H.S. Mrs. E»ebbie Ferruccio and Mrs. Jan Honeycutt were added to our faculty as reading teachers. We also wish to welcome the new students. There are many new faces at N.H.S. Everyone was smiling pretty when Mrs. Paul Underwood came Tuesday to take school pictures. The students really looked nice. I am sure the pictures will be good when they return. Yesterday, (Wednesday) Miss Sandra Russell attended a Warren County Staff Development meeting conducted by instructional personnel for the improvement of teaching. Miss Russell is our representative.

Even through the drizzle of rain Friday night, the Norlina football field was the scene of another great game. The team poured it on and beat the Park View Dragons 22-0. Norlina held Park View to 54 yards on the ground. This win puts Norlina's record at 2-1. Congratulations team! "Suede" is the French word for Sweden.
