day to have his truck inspected.
The Ldterery Society of Bethel
School gave an interesting program
Friday evening. In addition to a number
of readings, jokes, and songs, tne
following question was debated:
"Resolved, That All Schools in a
District Should be Consolidated."
Both sides were ably represented, but
the decision was rendered in favor
of the affirmative.
"Mr. W. H. Walker, County Superintendent
and all the members of the
county board of education of Watauga
county, were looking over the
school grounds Monday for the purpose
of determining just where the
new school building should be located.
While no absolutely definite news
have been received that the project
has been approved in Washington,
strong hopes are entertained that
this, with other school projects for
the county, will be approved and that
work will begin immediately.
Just before daylight Monday morning
a fire was discovered in the
woods just opposite Bethel Baptist
Church. Phones Irsinsr raoidiv for n.
tttt!e while until several citizens met
in and got the fire under control hefore
any damage was done. Had the
leaves not been damp and the wind
still, quite a lot of damage would
have been done. The origin of the
fire is not known, but the idea prevails
that some one threw a cigarette
stub in the leaves and thus the fire
was started.
The high school students on the
honor roll for conduct during the
second month of school are as follows:
Eighth grade. Reed Harmon, Albert
Hihsou, Opal Eggers, Aileen

The following ninth grade students
wore placed on the. honor roil because

standing which was above 90

Quite a number of students were
right on the border line. It is expected
that the number of bona fide honor
students will be increased next
month.

for each student to have a confidential,
heart-to-heart talk with himself
about what good the first two months
of school have done him and what he
hopes to get out of the next month's
work, or if he intends to work at all.
The first month has certainly
shown us that we have much room
for improvement. We greatly need to
improve in grades first of all. Secondly.
it would be beneficial to the
student body as a whole, if some
improvements were made in co-operation.
We all realize that a school
cannot really accomplish a great deal
where this important element is lacking.
We might also improve in our
, general attitude toward our school
I work and teachers. Our school spirit
i could stand a little boosting as well
If everyone would seriously coilj
sidcr these things and resolve to imj
prove himself along these lines, our
