WATAUGA DEMOCRAT
News? Of The Week At
Appalachian Hi School
The club program of Appala
chian High School, one of the
majof phases of the activities
program, is under the direct sup
ervision and administration of the
activities committee. ' The Activi
ties Committee consists of four
faculty members and three mem
bers of the student body, with one
of the faculty members serving
as chairman. The three members
from the student body are select
ed by the student council.
The club program is restricted
to the activity periofls on Tues
days and Thursdays.
The two weeks orientation pro
gram has just been completed.
Each student has been given the
opportunity to visit a number of
clubs so as to aid him in making
a decision as to which to join, if
any.
Each club is sponsored by or
has as its advisor one of the
faculty members of the high
school. The main emphasis in
these clubs is on development of
| student leadership and participa
tion. Therefore the teacher-spon
sor remains in the background,
so far as is possible, and serves
more or less as a consultant. It is
not compulsory for a pupil to be
a member of any club. If the
pupil so desires he may spend the
club activity period studying his
regular class work. )
A list of this year's active clubs
is as follows: On Tuesdays ? Boys
Glee Club, Home Economics, Fu
ture Farmers of America, Annual
Staff, Wildlife Sr. Division, Wild

dent Council meets as a group on

mittee meeting on Tuesday.

tem.
J. v.'i Win
Appalachian High's "B" squad
rolled over Beavei; Creek's Green
Beavers by a score of 13 to 0 on
the Beaver Creek field last Thurs
day night. The future Blue Devils
were never in serious trouble as
they held the Beavers to two first
downs while they moved for
twelve first downs and two
scores.
In the second quarter after a
sustained drive of sixty yards
on end runs, short passes and
plunges up the middle J. W.
Wellborn plunged over from the
four on a quarterback sneak. For
the extra point. Wellborn ran
another quarterback sneak. The
second score came in the third
quarter. Appalachian moved the
ball to the Beaver's two yard
line. A fumble lost the ball, but
four plays later the Beavers were
forced to kick. The kick was
short and the Little Blue Devils
had the ball again on the 15. A
pass play from Wellborn to John
ny Hodges was good on the first
play. An attempted pan for the
extra point was no good.
Other standout* in the game
were David McKinney, at half
back; Bobby Bigham at center
and linebacker; Eddie Ruih, at
Halfback; Jack Creek, ft end;
and linefnen Kent Coleman, Joe
Moretr, Dickie Hunt, and Bobby
Wilcox did a good job opening
holes for the backs. \
