News From John Graham

«• I,
It's a dream! One-third of
the year will be over
tomorrow (Friday). Where
did it go? (Wherever it went,
no one really cares.) Hopefully
the rest of the year will
be as swift.
Last Wednesday, before
we had our Thanksgiving
holidays, an assembly was
held in the auditorium. The
choir, under the direction of
Mrs. Glendora Powell, sang,
"Emmanuel," then Mr.
Terry gave remarks.
The same night, the senior
class sponsored a winter
carnival in the basement of
the administration building.
Different attractions included,
pie throwing, ball
throwing, bake sale, sitting
with Santa, items sold for
each of the individual classes
and the featured attraction
was "Chevy Levy" with
his "disco machine."
Melissa Exum and Lisa
Bobbitt, seniors, attended
their governor school's
reunion in Winston-Salem at
the beautiful Hyatt House
last weekend. We know they
enjoyed seeing their former
roommates once again
Monday, cap and gown
portraits taken by Rick
Campbell returned.
Today (Thursday), seniors
will ptece orders for
graduaticm invitations.
(Just one of the many things
to do before June!)

basketball teams open the
'77-*78 seiason with a home
game against Bluestone,
Va. Sting 'em, Jackets!!

College in Raleigh.

the Museum of History in

Norlina High School
ACTIVITIES
By Patricia Hicks
After returning from the
Thanksgiving holidays,
N.H.S. students are slowly
getting back in the swing of
things. Now, the next break
that students can look
forward to is the Christmas
holidays.
If anyone happens to visit
Norlina High School and
wonders where the Christmas
music is coming from,
it is the chorus practicing
for their annual Christmas
program. The program date
has been set for Dec. 18, at 8
p. m. The Blue Wave Chorus
hopes everyone will come
and enjoy it.
Mr. Bennette came yesterday,
Wednesday, to receive
orders for caps, gowns
and invitations. Juniors, it^is
advisable that you start
saving your money now
because being a senior can
be very expensive.
i
Tonight the Blitzing Blue
Waves will have their first
basketball game of the
'77-'78 year. They will host
Northwest.
This year. Coach Evans
has three returning starters
from last year's team. They
are senior co-captains,
David Rowelle and Michael
Yancey; and junior, Shelton
Hunter. They will start with
newcomers; senior, Larry
Vaughan, and junior, Darrell
Champ. The rest of the
team is composed of seniors
and juniors. .
Coach Evans sees the
team to beat this year is
Bunn. However, Franklinton
could definitely be a
challenge. They both have
four returning starters.
Louisburg and Warrenton
are in the rebuilding status
but could put forth quite a
challenge. Good Luck
Waves!

News Of Warren Academy
Oh, what a relief to be
back in school! Too much
turkey and all the stuffings
can be hazardous to our
health. But we all enjoyed
the break and are now
looking forward to the
upcoming Christmas holidays.
Our second grading period
ended Tuesday. When report
cards go home Monday,
Dec 5, we will see who has
buckled down and achieved
the basic ingredient of a
good education - a lot of
studying. Many of us fall
short when it comes to
studying, and we still expect
to make good grades.
Monday, Dec. 5, is PTO
conference night. Parents, if
you need to talk with your
child's teacher, please come
and do so at this time. The
hours are 7:30 p. m. through
9:30 p. m. With cooperation
between parents and teachers
a solution can be found
to many problems that may
be plaguing your child.
Please come if your child is
having problems.
We are very proud of the
Warren Academy brochure.
Our thanks to the ones who
are responsible for its
publication. Our thanks also
to the persons who spent so
much time in assembling
the material and making
such an attractive brochure.
Parents, please check with
your child if you have not
received your brochure yet.
We are excited over the
basketball season. The
teams have been busy with
practice and are really
looking good. We hope to be
able to report wins in our
column next week. The
game Friday night will be at
the Warren Academy gym,
and the opposing team will
be Wilson Christian Academy.
The game will start
at 7 p. m. Only the varsity
teams will be playing. Come
out and enjoy an evening of
basketball and give your
team a lot of support!
