for the Hallowe'en show, commit
tee have been appointed and every
thing seems to be moving along
smoothly. However, one member of
the committee appointed to Judge
the store windows is dissatisfied,
that member being Dr. Tucker:
he says he blows nothing about
window displays, as his specialty is
judging baby shows; being an old
bachelor he knows all about how
babies should be raised.
Superior court lasted 'only three
days last week. It - has been
only a short while since that "court
week" meant court week, the entire
week and then a lot of cases went
over until the next term. Doubtless
the Recorders' Court is responsible
for this, for most of the trival mat
ters are heard by this court and
never bother the Superior court.
And, by the way, mighty few of
Judge Newton's decisions are re
versed. -

School News
It U only natural that we think
of the tilings we are most Inter
ested In, and that we give utterance
of pleasures that we have, at some
time of another experienced. 'Con
tact with each other sometimes
' keeps the burdens of our dally tasks
(if they may be termed burdens)
from making us despondent, and It
sometimes turns our frowns into
smiles.
On Friday morning, Oct. 12, in
our chapel exercises the writer
and girls of our school as they came
face to face with one, who, through
his ability to mould the attention of
the entire student body into' one,
discussed "The Relation df School
j Work to my Chosen Profession."
Hie speaker for the occasion was
none other than Mr. F. O. Carver,
1 Jr. Mr. Carver is a very promi
nent member of the' Roxboro Cour
[ ier stqff, and is a very able speaker
We regret that our senior class and
several others of our school were
inot present to hear the address.
It is an annual occurrence that
our senior class takes a trip to Ral
eigh to view the places of Interest.
This year Mr. H. B. Gentry, our
prominent science teacher, conduct
ed the class on the sight-seeing
tour which included the State Fair.
A Brief Survey Of Oyr Faculty
Members of our faculty as they
are seen by observation are given
as follows:
Mrs. Dickerson: One whose advice
we all seek because of her wise
counsel accumulated in (?) years
experience.
Miss Cook: Well, what in the
world would we do without her wit
and humor that makes us forget
that we ever had a "Rainy Day?"
Next comes Miss Moore: A more
willing worker cannot be found in
any school faculty: she can be de
pended upon at all times.
The disciplinary qualifications of
Mrs. O'Briant would do credit to
any school?big or little.
If there's any work to be done,
anywhere, Miss Whitfield will be
there waiting when others arrive
on the scene of action.
Mrs. Bowles: Always on the alert
for something that will impfove
the efficiency of school work?a;
qualification that we all might be
Justly proud of.
Well. Miss McGregor hasnt been
< with us long but. pshaw! Judging
by the way she shoulders her part j
j Of the load, one would think she
| was a charter member of the high
school faculty. If there's anything
1 in Home Economics, she's right there i
with the goods, eats, and other
things that make up a complete
school-home department.
Mr. Gentry: A man who is so su(t
cessful with his science work, tha\
some of his students dont believe
their ancestors, made their homes in
trees.
Mr. Young: Stubborn as a mule,
but^will work on either side of the
tongue or in .the lead, and won't
kick.
Mr.' Currin: The crown head who
finds it necessary to give (manda
tory) advice through all the "Isms"
and from "A to Z."?HDY.
