News Of Warren Academy
Warren Academy is back
in full swing! We were
happy to get back after
being out for the summer
months. Of course, it is hard
adjusting to a regular school
routine after having so
much free time this summer.
Seeing and being with
old friends help to make up
for school work!
We would like to welcome
our new teachers at this
time: Mrs. Judy Young,
first grade teacher; Miss
Mary Turner, French teacher;
Michael Lee, math
teacher. These teachers are
an asset to our school, and
we are glad to have them
with us. We welcome also
our new students!
We also want to take this
time to say "hello" to Mrs.
Lucy Hundley and Jimmy
who are in Florida. We
cannot and will not forgef
you We hope that you
will have a good year in
Florida We at Warren
Academy are also looking
forward to another good
year.
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????????

Another year has begun at
Norlina High. 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.
Last week, Dennis Retzlaff
met with our school
faculty. He discussed coordinating
activities between
the health department and
the school.
Juniors, get ready. J. E.
Pittman is coming Sept. 21
to receive orders for class
rings. If everything goes
well, they may return before
Christmas.
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. French
tailors were intrigued by the
first soft, napped finish cloth
from Sweden that resembled
leather, so they named
it after their neighbor to the
north.
