SMITHFIEID HIGH TIMES
SCHOLARSHIPS |
This school year is flying by and
soon it will end with the strains of
"Pomp and Circijmstance", To the senior,
graduation means a step into the future
and therefore all eyes are turned toward
college,
Many of our seniors are putting
forth their best efforts and are trying
for scholarships and they should be
congratulated for their work toward this
goal, Me are especiall.y prorid of Mike
Starling and Melzer Moi'gan, not only for
their outstanding school work, but their
work toward the Morehead Scholarship,
They may not have won, but they advanced
through the county after taking many
tests and interviews.
Another who has been outstanding
is Avis Hamilton, After scoring very
high on a test for an HROTC Scholarship
Avis went to Raleigh for a, pl^S^sical
examination, more tests and interviews.
We don*t know the outcome of all this
yet, but we xcLsh him luck and feel sure
he will come through all right,
Barbara j^ird and Ann Lee are pre
paring themselves for interviews for
the N. C, Federation of V/cmen*s Clubs.
Scholarship and Kitty Woodard Scholarship.
We are positive that they will be very
impressive,
Ann Booker, who plans to attend
Salem next year, has already been to
Haleigh to take various tests for the
Salem Competitive Scholarship,
We are proud of these people and
their achievements and as they work tovra.rd
these Scholarships we wish them all
Sood Luck,

DISTRICT CONTEST
"Jingle bells, shot gun shells,
tullets all the way, oh, what fun it is
ride in a great big Trailway,"
Thus sang the manbers of the Glee
Club on the two chartered buses as they
Journeyed to Durham for the District
Contest, But little did they know of
the honors awaiting them there. When
the destination was reached the Fresli-
men girls anxiously hurried to their
warm-up room to prepare for their
Jigging, They had their first taste of
singing before a group of judges and
proved themselves to be very capable
of doing so v/ithout a flutter. Although
Kjss Parker was unable to direct them,
they, under the direction of Mrs.
Wallace, brought home a two, which is
an Excellent rating.:'
Next, the girls* chorus, which is
composed of sophomores, juniors, and
senjors prepared for their appearance
before the judges. They seemed to have
had no trouble at all in making a one,
which is a Superior rating, as they
calmly sang. For the past thirteen
years, twelve of those years a Superior
rating'has been earned by the girls *
chorus, which is the highest rating
given to any Glee Club,
Last, but certainly not least, the
Mixed Chorus confidently walked on the
stage and sang their two songs. Everyone
sang with all his heart and the jtxiges
honored them by'presenting the Excellent
rating of a two, which represents many
hours of hard work.
For the seniors, this marked the
end of all the fun and excitement of
these annual contests. After the many
horn's of work and times we thought it
to^be in vain, we realized it was fun after
all,and we were proud of the honors. May
the Glee Clubs in the years to come
continue to bring hcrnie the'honors
received in previous years. Miss Parker
should be commended for her faithful
service to the Glee Clubs of S^thfield
High.
