A new, department was added last year which crea ted interest among the students, viz: The commercial department. This class was well attended, and much discussed. It was under the direction of Mrs. Fon Scofleld. We hope to continue this work and to improve it. We are plan ning to add new work again to the curriculum. Although our school is small we believe we can offer a broader field for our students to choose from, and are planning to add the home economics course. The other high schools of the county have led in this field and we believe they have done very valuable work initheir communities. We admire them and1 follow them. In other work, eg, agriculture, w? believe we have taken the lead in | some cases. We are proud of our! library, our buildings, our P. T. A. and our community. One of our students was called upon the stage this year during commencement, and pointed out as "one who has not been absent or tardy for eleven yearB." That one is Miss Arlene Hart, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Hart. This girl, while on the stage, modestly j gave her mother credit for keep-j log ber in school without' missing a day. Miss Alice Lillian Barnes re ceived the citizenship medal for the graduates from the seventh1 grade. 8be is a daughter of Mr.; and Mrs. George Barnes, of] Youngsville. Miss Mary Lillie Lowery won the medal for the best recitation given by a student in the high school. She is a member.* of the elg^Ottr grade, and will doubtless make sbme one work If she 1s not the winner In years to come. M. K. CARSWELL. RENEW YOUR SUBSCRIPTION!
