Hyleman On
Dean’s List
St
Van Hyleman, son of Mr. and
Mrs. Tommy Hyleman, of Bur
nsville, a 1966 graduate of Cane
River High School, has demon
strated that you can be a top
student and come from a small
country high school. A sopho
more at East Carolina State
University, Van made the Dean’s
list for the second quarter, with
two A’s and three B’s, his two
A’s being made in Chemistry,
a subject generally considered
weak in the smaller high schools.
Which all goes to show that by
diligent s'udy and application
during high school and college,
it can be done. So no mo"e ali
bies. for Yancey County college
students!
Tar Heel Skiers Have Hopes
On Slopes

hopes on the slopes and eyes on
the sky.
With a nod from the weather
man and a so-ahead from the
seven North Carolina skiing
areas, skiers could soon start
screaking down
slopes.
The"e had been high hopes
that the ski season could get
underway the weekend of Dec
ember 14, but sunny skies and
warm temperatures have been
unkind.
So the North Carolina ski
sites went back to the drawing
board and have set this week
end, December 21, as the ten
tative target date for the sea
son opening.
'lt locks like the 21st for
us," said a spokesman at
Beach Mountain, near Banner
Elk. Beach this year has added
the first triple chair lifts in the
South. This increases the area’s
lift capacity to 9,000 skiers per
hour. Slope area has also been
increased to over four miles.
"The beginners slope is open,
but that’s about all,” offered a
spokesman at Seven Devils at
Bonne "Next weekend we hope
