PACE SIX NOTES FROM THE NORMAL. The annual meeting of the board of trustees of the Appalachian State Normal was held here on the 23rd. Miss Celeste Henkle, county superintendent of Iredell county public -ehools. is the first woman ever appointed on the board. She was sworn in by Mr. G. P. Hagamao, notary public. Perhaps it would be of interest here to state that Mrs. Mosei H. Cone, of Blowing Rock, was the first woman ever appointed to office n North Carolina. This was before the 10th amendment was enacted. When her husband died, Mrs. Cone was appointed a school committeeman in his stead. The following resolution was passed and recorded in the minutes of the board: "It b the sense of this body that the board has been honored, the Normal school r.cJpod, and a hearty welcome is giver Miss lUr.kti its ;< member of the hoard. The new organization of tht board is as follows: T. 11. Coffey, chairman; \V. C. .Wwland, ;icc chairman; executive committee, J. H, Barnhard, W. (\ Xewland and T. H. Coffey. Practically all tho old teach iuia omcer- were reappuiubui. The work on the campus is to bi pushed, and better equipment and a general forward move in every way was proridM. A most interesting and pleasing occasion was the Junior Normal re ceptipri p:iven Monday evening- in the rew gymruisium. The gymnasium was arranged to represent the governor's inaision at Raleigh, and the Junior Normals posing as the state officials, gave a reception to tin Senior Normals, the faculty and trustees.
