CITY SCHOOL TAX
ELECTION
At present the city of High Point
levies ;i city school tax at the rate
of 50. In the school election which
is to occi’j’ May 26, the citizens of
High Point will vote to make a 50c
tax rate the limit which the city
may levy in the future to supple
ment the sum received from th
• county for a six-months school term
and for extending the city school
term to nine months.
Previously the city has levied this
tax of 50c, but it has not been voted
on by all the voters in the city. In
the coming election, the citizens of
High Point will vote on this tax rate
If the county-wide plan passes, 12c
for school bfids and indebtedness
can be canceled by the city. And
the other tax of 38c for current ex
penses would be cut down consider
ably. ^
The city school enrollment has
practically doubled during the la.st
five years. But the buildings to ac
commodate this increase in) enroll-
• ment have pot been enlarged accord
ingly. About 350 new students now
enter the city system yearly. High
Point ranks fifth in the state in the
number of white children enr lied
seventh in the number of teachers
employed, sixteenth in expenditures
per child per school day and seven
teenth in school property per child
lliyh Point spends, less per child thar
the average of all the cities in the
state.
If High Point .should fail to ratify
Die present tax levy for schools on
Mav 26,'it would be the only city m
North Carolina without a special tax
lo run schools beyond a six-months
term. -
Eight o’clock marked the beginning
of the celebration of the annual
I junior-senior reception at the Sher
aton hotel ballroom Friday evening
May 1.
Baskets of red roses, resting on
the floor^ spread their sweet frag
rance over the ballroom, while min
iature Maypoles were seen in the
windows. The windows and Maypoles
were covered alternately with the
junior-senior colors. All the colors
of the rainbow were portrayed in the
feminind apparel, while the boys
almost uniformly, wore blue suits
with light shoes. The Guilford Col
lege orchestra furnished music for
the occasion.
The progyam began with a song
“Howdy,” by the juniors. Franklin
Welch, president of the junior cl^ass
gave an addrciis of welcome. AHer
this eight little juniors, Hose Hy
man, Theo Ingram, Edith Culler
Nolan Hill, Adelaide McAnally, Lor
raine Ellison, Thalia Copeland and
Ila'Welborn, gave a beautiful May-
pole dance. The junior and senior
class colors were interwoven about
the pole. This dance brought a
heartily applause from the students
A response from Charles Salsbury in
behalf of the senior class was given
A song program followed. 'The j^un-
iors sang, “To the Seniors, Give
a Cheer,” and “Andrews and John
ston.” The seniors responded with a
song to the juniors and a yell.
The next part of the program was
the surprise of the evening. A group
of plavers from North Carolina Col
lege for Women at Greensboro, gave
a play called “Knave of Hearts in
which they proved that the old Nur
sery Rhyme was all a fake. The sen
ior colors were seen throughout the
nlay. The act ended with a ready
loud applause from the audience
This was the most enjoyable part ol
the program.
