"25 It bas been several years. but I atill shudder when 1 think of that deep, round curve in the river where, be fore the events of this story, I loved to swim. ~ One afternoon after mliool ii? I was standing on the right bank of the curve watching some-men fishing UP the stream a small ways, T had almost forgotten my chum who had been try ?h?g-4o-di?e to the bottom of the deep water a few yards out in the river. Suddenly I heard my name called In n gnrgling choked voice, and 1 could gee the terrified expression that waa 00 my chum's face as I turned and saw it sink beneath the water. I plunged Into the river, and swam with gone down. I did not think how I should get him out, hut only of get ting to him. I had hardly reached the place where he sank before he aggfn-CTme to the top and as I took hold of him to keep him up( he clutch ed me around the throat with that fierce strength of a drowning person and clamped his legs arouud me until 1 was helpless. Instantly the horri ble feeling came over me that I was sinking, and 1 struck at him with all the strength of m? one free arm. but it seemed that my arm was weak and heavy as lead. And we went down 1 into the suffocating water. cUngtnc ' and fighting like mad people. As we went under I gulped a strang ling mouthful of air and water, and then I fought and fought and fought that "horrible clinging tiling which kept me under, and that -awful crush ing weight on my chest which would let me have no breath, but only press ed apd pressed until my head and eyes felt as if they would "burst. Would that thing ever let me looce. and ! would I ever get my breath? And ithen pain ceased, and all w?s blank to me until I came to myself oa the bank with a bursting headache and sore, gurglings: lung*. I afterward | learned that the men downstream had {seen and heard us, and vrith the aid I of their Boats and -oars had rolled us ? into shallow water, where they were able to get us out on the bank and pump life back into us. Elijah Fulghum '23 How A Diploma Is Obtained The senior class of the Louisburg High School realizes that without la. bor nothing can be accomplished, and certainly winning of a diploma. A11 that to us is great and precious ? our diploma ? will only be acquired through the necessary efforts, and as we real Jre that th? nineteenth of May is draw ing near our anxieties Increase as does our labor. Study to some is pain; to some, duty: to some, pleas ure; but to all, work. The same La tin, the same English, the same French and sin^ilar duties meet us on the threshold of every day. However we keep "pulling" and looking for ward to the great occasion ? commence ment day ? in which we will give proof of the labor of our daily life routine. We earnestly hope that our last eight months of the Liouisburg High School will be an honor and a glory to the Class of '22, Myrtle Drake 22. 1?1?1 A Letter Concerning Kece-ves Louisburg. North Carolina. April 25, 1922. Dear Kate: ?, What made you ask so particularly about recesses? Of all the uninterest ing things, they are the mcst . At eleven ten we go out for recess. We girls form cliques and begin our prom enade- Prom the brick building to the stand-pipe, we go." You know how far that Is. Back and forth until the bell rings we walk. At quarter to one, our second reeees begins . }I?st of ns go home to dljiner. get back about one-flfteen and walk the remaining fifteen minutes. The girls who st?v during the entire recess sit in the trucks to sat their lunch and then they etTfieT walk or sit lh the trucks and talk. Don't you think we have interesting recesses? On a ten acre campus we have one acting pole for the boys, one basket ball court for the boys, and a basket ball court for the girls. That is the Itmlt of the play ground equip ment for * school of about four hun dred children. Only the other day I was looking over a folder of equip ment for play grounds. There were swings of different types, see- sans, slides, sand shoots and all kinds ot amusements. These were all of me tal or strong wood and guaranteed to be safe Why can't We have such things? If the people won't give the amount needed for a new boildine. I wish they would give Just enough to buy a few of these amusements, to help us enjoy our recesses as well"*? to be a benefit to our health during the little time *e are out of our croud ed school building. 1 hope you're enjoyed your answer. | Write me how you spend your recess ??.

They played Epsom the other my and Epsom beat them. . f-s' I guess you heard ^but our High School being burned. The eighth and ; ninth grades had to move over in the ! auditorium which has been divided in to two big rooms and which before the fire was occupied by the second and , third grades . They have moved down (in the Sunday school room of the Met odist church now. They are sull teaching in the eleventh grade room. You ought to be at the door peeping in when we are on English class. Mr. Carpenter stands with a stick or som*>? thing to hit the boys over the head witli., It's a wonder some of the boys are not in Dix Hill because of the . Hcks they get on their head.
