Ob Saturday evtning, February
H. the sophomoru class of Ap
palachian High School will spun
V aor the animal Valentine Dance
in the high achool gymnasium
i| from 8:00 p. m. until 11.-00. The
muaic will be furniahed by one
of the newei name* in muaic
around Boone, "Three Cati and
? Kitten." which gave us auch
wonderful muaic for the Home
coming dance in the fall. The
ticketa for the dance, which are
|0c (single) and 7Sc (couple) are
now on tale from any member of
the aophotnore claaa, but if you
prefer, you may wait until the
evening and buy them at the
door.
The highlight of the evening
will be the coronation of the
King and Queen of hearts choeen
by the student body of. the high
achool by popular vote. The can
didates for queen are: Landy
Brown, Billie Jean Storie, Jean-'
ette Cook, Ruby Lee Hartley,
Thelma Phillip*, Laura Hol
shouser, Betty Ann Edmisten,
Paye Critcher, Ruby Greer, Peg
gy Wellborn, and Peggy Oreer.
The following boya are candi
dates for king: Jerry Troutman,
Harold Ragan, Charlea Taylor,
Billy Lyons, Tony Winkler, Char
les Michael, Bill Talbert, John
Xdgar Brown, J. E. Oreen? and
Harbin Moretz.
The proceeds from the dance
will ge into the sophomore clasa
fund to bear the expenaes which
eome to a clasa during its Junior
and senior years. It is felt that
, everyone will benefit more from
working together on the dance
and helping others to have an
evening of entertainment, than
they would by having to (Attri
bute the sum to fill these needs.
Plan to attend the dance, par
ents, students and friends of the
school as well as wanting to en
Joy a fine dance.
Flrai Yni Typing Clin
Under the supervision of Mr.
Dan Harrington, student teacher,
the memberi of Mr. Leek's be
ginning typing claM have acquir
ed the ability to type with a
reasonable degree of accuracy,
and at a fairly fait rate of speed.
Frequent speed test* are given
for the building of speed. Tor the
emphasis on accuracy, the stud
ents are motivated by competing
with the other two beginning
typing classes.
Each clasa had a bus on a bul
letin board in the typing room,
and a course wai laid out ol the
principal cities between Boone
and Miami. As a clan would in
crease its average rate of speed

For the pest (our weeks Mr.
Leek's class has been learning
the different letter styles, tow
ing that many of the students
will some day go into office
work, the students were given a
budget of the different styles
they have learned. If they keep
these letters, they can refer to
them when they do go into actu
al office work.
The students considered the
idea as being worthwhile due to
the fact that they could not tu?

education and they may not be
able to conveniently obtain in

where.

Biology Class
The biology sUidentsIre think
ing that Spring must be just
around the corner. At any rate,
the pet carter snake thinks so.
Sometime Thursday morning the
pet shed his dull winter coat and
added a bright new one. All the
students agree that he looks
much better although they think
it would have been much nicer
had he waited until Caster.
The biology classes aft begin
ning a new unit of study this
week, the study of the human
body. Students are compiling a
list of questions- which they
would like to have answered
during the time spent covering
the unit. They have really dug
up some good ones, so Mr. Lan
caster says.
The audio-visual aid that have
been collected to aid in enriching
the learning situations arc from
many sources, including a hu
man skeleton from the college,
"Oscar" the Manikin, from Mr.
Nolan and the Physical Educa
tion Dept., and charts from Miss
Guy, plus a few other aids from
here and there. The unit is in
tended to cover about three
weeks. +
