Rotary Hears Proffitt
In his talk at Rotary on Friday,
Brank Proffitt, Superintendent of
Tryon Schools gave a detailed re

and other improvements made in
Tryon’s school buildings. He an
nounced that the new high school
building will soon be ready for
the state inspector’s visit, and
that plans are being made to
move in about the middle of March.
He also outlined a program of
further development as being
desirable, with particular em

additional high school teacher.
With a longer-term view toward
the future, he expressed hopes
for a complete playground develop

manual training, the organize

lighted football field for the high
school games.
In discussing statewide move
