By Bobby Peterson, 4 B-l 6 B-l Studies Science The moon is 240,000 miles way from the earth. It is not as rge as the earth. The moon eighs only one eightieth as much the earth. From earth the moon oks flat, however, the moon is jot flat, but very rugged. It has ountains five miles high, with rge holes in the top called aters. One crater is 140 miles ide. The moon has no light of s own. It shines because the n shines on it, only one side is iward the earth. We never see ie back of the moon. There is life on the moon. From the son the sun would look like a llow ball, the sky would look [lack. The day temperature at ie moon would be boiling and t night freezing. The moon ends 28 days going around the rth. The night and day is as ng as one of our months. There no water, no air, no wind on e moon. Nothing could live ere.

For several years a very fine exhibit of ar row heads, spears, Indian pottery and other implements has been arranged. This fall the students have displayed many valuable old things. These included many household utilities: cards, candle molds, old books. Some very ancient books were: “The Blueback Speller, and Les sons in Reading and Speaking,” “Calculated To Improve the Minds and Refine the Taste of Youth,” to which is prefixed “Rules of Elocution,” both by Noah Webster Esq. and published in 1816. “Swinton’s School Com position,” an old grammer owned by a member of Marie Wright’s family since 1885. The children who have con tributed to this collection of relics are: Marie Wright, David McMahan, Jack Owens, Jackie Walkins, Charles Surrett, Boyd Burleson, Jerry Ballard, Larry Fuller, Ruth Allen, Martha Webb and Bruce Davidson. Through their study of the pioneer families in Bee Tree, the eighth graders discovered that some members of their class are direct descendants of the first settlers west of the Blue Ridge. Among these are Bruce Davidson and David Alexander. Eighth Grade Honor Roll 8 B-l: A honor roll, Annette Meeks.

American Education Week is being observed all over the country from Nov. 9-15, as a pro ject under the joint sponsorship of the National Education Assoc iation, the National Congress of Parents and Teachers, the Amer ican Legion, and the U. S. Office of Education. The problems of today’s schools are the problems of all who seek to hold the line for freedom and to build a better America and a better world. If our public schools are to serve today’s children effectively, they must be equipped with the teacherpower, materials, and fin ancial resources needed to meet increasing enrollments. If they are to shoulder huge responsibil ities in our national security, their integrity must .be upheld and their program strengthened. If they are to continue to be one of our best weapons in fighting the ideologies which would des troy the very foundations of our free government, they must be supported as bulwarks of our se curity. If they are to continue to inspire and prepare you to win new victories for freedom, they must not be allowed to become second-rate institutions. Swannanoa School is observing American Education Week by in viting all parents and other in terested persons to visit the schoo1 at any time during this week.

Student Opinion This week’s comments are made by Barbara Harding, a tenth grade student. Her essay entitled “High School Citizenship” follows: In high school there are a lot of qualifications that go along with citizenship, or being a good citizen. First of all there is your apples, whole wheat rolls, margar ine, and milk. Friday: Creamed chicken and ' rice, buttered green peas, raw 1 carrot stocks, hot biscuits, marg arine, milk and cookies. DOWN THE HALL 9 B-l News and Notes The 9 B-l was busy Friday, Oct. 31, decorating the building for the attitude to others. This includes not only your behavior in class but outside classes as well. Next is the way in which you take care of school property. This means your desk, books, and lockers. It also means the halls and the school grounds. I think if you are a dependable person you are on your way to being a good citizen. Here in Swannanoa High, we are given citizenship grades on our report cards. Our grades are determined by the teachers. A meeting is held and each stu dent is discussed. As you read this report, ask yourself, “Am I a good citizen?” If you aren’t, let’s all try to bet ter ourselves. Let’s all say to each other, “Come on Swannanoa Hi, let’s all be good citizens.” Barbara Harding piiiiiiiiniiuiiiiiiimimiiiiiiiiiimiiMiiiiiiimiiniiiiiHii Halloween Carnival and lor home coming. We have started basketball practice with Mr. Johnnie Shaver and Mr. J. J. Walden as coaches. There were 10 from our class who went out, and we want to wish them luck. Jo Ann Allen is on the cheer ing squad from our room. We are very proud of her. We want to express our deepest sympathy to Wayne Bartlett and his family for the passing of his father. Also we want to remember Sondra Ballard’s grandfather who died, Mr. Jones. 10 3-1 Starts With 36 Our tenth grade started the year out with a fine class of 22 girls and 14 boys.
