Pipes ha^ taken a step forward by making the chool a two year hitrh school. Pro f; ssor Pipes is a man of experience and success in school work. lie has for the prist thrc? years be ? :;i prin cipal of the Ogden high .--choo!, and i I'norts from there tell us *li:it ho raised the standard of the school work in that community. .And w r.ow feel from the way ha I he lias -larted off with the woi'c 'i-ie that Marble school will have jt successful \car. Mr. L. C. Ward, who has for th last four years been teaciiirit? fiem and mathematics it: the Fletcher Ac irediteA high school, has en.iruv of the high school department. He ;;t i ended high school at Fruitland Insti tut and had his college wor-: at Mars Hill and Wake Forist Colletr',;. We feel very fortunate in .- 'curing 1 i^ servici s. Since the high school department has been add d this year. -rvist <1 play has been taken up. also athletic teams playing other teams. The school baseball team has r laved four games and won all. A fi ld-day was run off Friday, Sep tember 13th, which proved to be a I success. I am very glad, indeed, that I can conscientiously say that we are hav ing a school of which all who are in terested should take pride. Just the way the school is being nianaved on der our present administration shows that renewed life and a vital interest have been taken on in the work. Wj? have an enrollment of about one Tiundred ninety pupils, thisty-five of which are in the high school grades. Our high school dcpartnl?nt has ad ded much to the boost and interest of the school, and we have begun to feel again that we are on the map in the educational world. Vfn feel much indebted already tc our teaching force for the work they are doing. I understand that steps have alreadv been taken to equip the school with n larger and better library. Plans for the purchase at private expense of the state required laboratory have been started. About sixty dollars have already been invested in high school equipment. We intend by the help of all interested to enlarge our facilities as the weeks come and go. We wish to expness our appreciation *o our ncble school superintendent who is cooperating with us in our ed ucational program. I have gotten to the place where I can believe that when we get interested in the educa tional wltare of our children, can then have success, so let's keep the good work going, remembering that cooperation, harmony, in every senjte of the word is what keeps the work progressing to result in the better ment of our schools and all concern ed. We like to note that the teachers are not neglectinsr any part of the school work. In the class room they seem very zealous, and on the athle tic field thev are giviner the children supervised plav, thus giving the boy? and shorten the distance be tween points now on the State High way system, and Whereas, in 1023-21 in accordance with tat- plans anil specifications t r. pared l?v engineers of said State Highway Commission, a r*" No. 2?, which I ads to the Tennessee State 1 in *"? through Not la anil Hothouse Townships \ running thence for on ? mile through Not la Township and twelve mile* through Shoal Creek Townsbio tn the North Carolina Tennessee State line and there eon. necting with the T'lin s distance between \?>rth Car^'i^s-TYnnos^-- points will he materially lessened or shortened by using; said latter road, therefore, F!" it R< solved by the Chen I Commission at it- regular Au gust session, that it hereby favors and recommends that the State High way Commission of North Carolina, increase the mileage of tho State Highway System in said state hv taking over said thirteen mile stretch of? highway which has already been graded according to state plans and specifications furnished by said State Highway Commission and there by materially shorten thr distance to Knoxville and other points in Ten nessee, and in addition furnish the citizens of Shoal Creek Township an easier means by which to reach their county seat.
