ROANOKE RAPIDS I HIGH SCHOOL NEWS BOOK WEEK Book week came a little late for the eighth grades this year. They have just finished their celebra tion with the addition of twenty new books to their library. The greater part of these books is fic tion, and the remaining part is made up of short stories and sev eral biographies. The money used in purchasing these books came from the seventh grade treasury of last year, which at the present is the eighth grade. The members of this year’s eighth grade felt that the money would be well spent by securing more books for the eighth grades. The books are kept in 8-1A, Miss Sheridan’s home room, and may be used by all eighth grade students. PUBLIC SPEAKERS The Public Speaking class of the local high school, under the su pervision of Mr. Morris Clary, is now memorizing declamations and recitations. The class has just finished writ ing orations. Among the outstand ing orations were those of Justine Hockaday, Juanita Lane, Alvin Pitt, Jean Gibson, and Josephine Sneie'ht. BASEBALL TROPHY The boys of the seventh grades have bought a trophy, which is to be presented at the close of the baseball series. This trophy represents the figure of a base ball player. Inscribed on it is “Seventh Grade Champions.” Each room plays two out of a three game series. The outcome so far has been as follows: 7-2 lost two games to 7-3; the scores were 4-1 and 8-0; 5-5 won two games from 7-4; the scores being 11-2 and 3-2. Those rooms still competing for the title of champions are 7-1A, 7-3, 7-1B, and 7-5. The room win ning out in the series will keep ; the trophy in their home room , for the remainder of the school year. Next year the seventh grades will compete for this same trophy. VACCINATIONS Miss Frances Grant, local school nurse, reported that twenty in the first grades have been vaccinated for diptheria, and six for small pox. The annual examination of eyes from the first through the sixth grades of all schools has been completed. The teachers reported to the nurse the pupils whom she suspected of weak eyes. Ten children were thought to need glasses. Out of these, three have been given glasses through the Lions Club. The teaching of “Adequate Nu trition” through the health classes in each grade, and with the help of the school nurse, has helped in the improvement and under standing of the health of the children in the elementary schools. Miss Grant also has office hours for junior and senior high students a _ _:_ £1 J nnrl orlrrino IV fe**'' “— - DRIVE Miss Ethel Knott has started a drive in the eleventh grade Eng lish classes to raise money to buy pictures painted by American ar tists. This is timely since the stu dents study only American litera ture in the eleventh grade. Both , Miss Knott and the students feel 1 that American pictures would be more appropriate under these con- | ditions. WINS AWARD Out of Miss Parson’s second ] year shorthand class of forty stu- j dents, Rachael Forrest won the , proficiency test with a score of 99. She was presented a gold pin for making the highest grade. This was the highest score made out of all the papers which were i sent to the Gregg News Reader j from North Carolina.
