"Open House' Set Friday At 7 For New Rooms At High School Here
i
New Rooms
To Be Shown
By Students
And Faculty
A large number of parents of the
1.500 students of Junior and High j
School here, together with other i
patrons of the school, are expected i
to visit the five new classrooms,
library, study hall, and audio-visual
education room Friday night from
7 to 8 p.m.
The "open house" will be held I
just prior to the Christmas con- |
cert to De given by the band in
the gym. The concert will begin
at with Charles Isley, direct
ing^*
C. E. Weatherby, principal, said
all 49 teachers of the faculty would
be present, and in their home
rooms for the open house event.
Sludents will serve as guides to ;
their parents, taking them directly !
to the parts of the building they
wish to see.
The new rooms were made from
the auditorium. The study hall,
seating about 150, is next to the
hallway at the front of the build
ing, and the library occupies the
srace formerly used as the stage of
the auditorium. The former audi- ?
torium has been converted into
tvo classrooms.
The second floor of the "old
auditorium space" has been con
verted into three classrooms, ac
commodating 35 students each, and
a large audio-visual education
room, about 40 by 80 feet.
All the floors in the new class
rooms, library, study hall, and I
audio-visual room have tile floors. i
The hall floor in the front of the '
building was also tiled.
The project was started last
summer and completed early this ;
fall. Tbe contract price was a
little more than $22,000.
M. H. Bowles, superintendent,
said that the gym would be used
for an auditorium as much as jvac
tical, although far from ideal. The
bleacher seats are used for all ?
gatherings in the gym. , i
The puma, panther, cougar, cata '
mount, mountain lino. American
lion are all the same animal.

Wayward Geese Fail To Realize
When They Are Well Off; Leave
Good Home, Now Several Missing
' Geese sometimes act a lot like
people, and set into trouble, all
because the.v cannot realize when
they are well off.
For 11 years, a goose had j
found plenty to eat, and had
received gentle care on the farm |
of Mr. and Mrs. John Plott. The
veteran goose, because of her
age, was the leader of 11 other
geese ? three of them her 6
month-old goslings. The other
eight were about 3 to 4 years
old.
Everything was lovely about
the Plott farm?plenty of water l
to swim in. and an abundance
of food from the Plott barns.
Then out of the bright blue
yonder one morning, some
strangers flew over?geese, that
is?and the apparently contented
Plott geese could not resist the .
temptation and lure to join the
travelers and "see the world."
So ofl they took from the Plott
farm, all 12 of them, with the
old 11-year in the lead.
tVhat has happened to eight
of the flock is a matter of guess
work, hut it is believed that some
hunter's aim was mighty good,
and the eight ended up roasting
in some oven.
The other t0ur made it to bake
Junaluska where they are now
making their home on the waters
there.
Just how long they will be
there is uncertain, because hav
ing: once tasted, a bit of travel,
they are likely to take off any
time for parts unknown. As for
the Flotts trying to get them
bark to the farm, that poses a
big problem first in catching
them, and then in keeping them,
since all four geese are excellent
fliers.
Yes, geese are sometimes very
much like people, they don't
know when they are well off.
Try on Man
Acquitted In
Hunt Death
G. H. Bridgeman, 52-year-old
Tryon real estate 'man, was freed
of a manslaughter charge at Bre
j vard Tuesday in the hunting ac
cident death of Charles Berry Bal
lard last November 21.
Superior Court Judge l\ C.
' F. onenberger of Gastonia, sitting
| as a justice of the peace, ruled
no probable cause following a
i hearing.
Sheriff K V. Dillingham said
after the hearing he saw no reason
to continue pressing the prosecu
tion.
The 34-year-old Ballard of T.ur
! key Creek, Buncombe County,
died in an Asheville hospital aft
er he was wounded in a thigh
Nov. 20 while on a deer hunt in
, the Pink Beds section of the I'is
gah National Forest.
Witnesses testified today Bridge
man said he Tired at a deer and
! was going to the animal when he
heard Ballard call, then come to
ward him. Bridgeman fired more
; shots to summon help, they said.
Bridgeman did not testify.
A coroner's jury a week after
, the shooting decided it did not
k?;ow who had fired the fatal shot.
Sheriff Dillingham issued the
warrant following receipt of a re
port on a State Bureau of Investi
gation ballistics examination.
The testimony today was how
? ever, that int. slug that struck
Ballard went throigh his leg and
