In athletics the school has teams in
tennis, basketball, baseball and golf

Course in Dramatie.s
In addition to the regular college
preparatory and commercial courses
the high school curriculum this year
carries two new courses for
Juniors and Seniors; a course in Dra
matics and a course in Vocational
Guidance. The Dramatics course will
deal with the improvement of diction,
public speaking, quality and tone con-
tn>I of the voice and the appreciation
and production of plays. The Voca
tional Guidance course will be devoted
to a general survey of the various vo
cations, their possibilities and the
general qualifications for those voca
tions—with especial emphasis on ac-
certaining and correcting the indivi
dual vocational and educational needs
of the class members.
In addition to Superintendent Web
ster, the school faculty comprises the

FLORAL DISPLAYS
A place of interest to Springtime
guests of Southern Pines is the out
door garden surrounding the Chandler
Greenhouses, where the vari-colored
tulip beds and the noted Camelia
Japonica are always an attraction.
During the colder weather the exten
sive hothouses are always open to vis.
itors. At this writing the display of
chrysanthemums of many hues is at-
September 1, when construction of
the Nurses’ Home actually began.
In February, 1937, the New' Wing
was opened. Through the additional
facilities thereby provided, the hos
pital is a changed place. More and
better woik at lower cost has been
the immediate result.
But a glance at the plant showed
anyone the glaring need of a Nurses’
Home. Rented houses in the village,
a mile from the hospital, constituted
an exp>ensive and unsatisfactory way
of lodging the young women who
carry the burden oi graduate and
student nursing. There have been no
provisions for recreation, no aids to
study and impovement, and small op
portunities for fostering morale.
Moore County nursing has maintain
ed a high standard in the face of
great difficulties.
Application to the Federal Emer
gency Administration of Public Works
resulted in a grant of $29,250.00 to- i
ward the building of a Nurses’ Home,
and w'ith this assistance the directors
voted, on June 29, to undertake the

4UNIOR CIVIC CLUB TO |
PRESENT “BOWERY DANCE”
tendent of Nurses, three suites each
containing two bedrooms and a bath,
and 35 other bedrooms equipped with
running water. General bathrooms
will be large and well-appointed.
On the main floor a big living
room, with broad windows and a fire
place, will be the center of the
Home. A library lined with books will
invite study ana relaxation. For par.
ties, special occasions, and “day off”
breakfasts there will be a small din
ing room and a small but complete
kitchen.
A large play room, situated in the t^acting numerous visitors.
basement but geneiously supplied
with windows, will furnish space for,
exercise, games and dancing. Rest i
hours may be spent, if desired, on a!
sun deck opening from the second
floor. And at each end of the build
ing there will be porches, arranged
for hot weather living. The aim
throughout, in planning the construc.
tion and furnishings, is to cr'iate a
Home that meets every functional
test, but which gives the effect, not
jf an institutional annex, but of a
gracious dwelling place.
To safeguard the comfort and
health of the nurses is only fair and
-ind proper. But it is likewise ex
cellent business. Every thoughtful
dollar invested in the Home means
mcreased energy and efficiency in
the nursing staff, and therefore in
creased safety and satisfaction for
ill patients.
The treasurer has estimated t'^at
the new building will bring about re.
ductions m Hospital maintenance
costs which will be equivalent to the
income from a sizeable endowment.
And when emergencies occur the en.
tire nursing staff will be at hand,
ready for action.
The building will cost ?64,000.00,
,xnd the furnishings about $8,500.00,
bringing the figure for Home and
furnishings to approximately $72,-
•jOO.OO. Of this amount, the PWA
grant of $29,250.00 constitutes 40 per
cent. Of the remaining 60 percent,
or $43,250.00, about $13,250.00 has |
been already raised, leaving approxi.
mately $30,000.00 more to be secur- j
ed. This task is a heavy one, and,
the directors respectfully bespeak the
assistance of every friend and sup. j
ported. I
Charles C. Hartmann, of Greens- ■
boro, who designed the new wing, is
also the architect for the Nurses’
Home. The building committee is
con,posed of George P. Hawes, Jr., I
chairman; Jackson H. Boyd, Mrs.
Paul Dana, Mrs. John L. Given, L. E.
Pender, and Kenneth B. Trousdell. '
