ander. David McMahan. Larry Gra
vette, Craig Eller. Ronald Red
mon. George Pate, Carrol Peek,

this experience will be helpful
to us in future varsity play.
The next Hi-Y meeting is
scheduled for Tuesday, Jan 13.
with Larry Gravette, president,
presiding.

Basketball Girls
■ We are all .proud of the girls
that play on our team this year
and would like to tell you some
thing about each girl on the team.
I .aura Smith and Gwenievere
Nanncy from the Freshman class
are forwards and have played
Junior Hi hall for two years.
Barbara Harding, a sophomore,
Played forward in Junior Hi ball,
but this year she is playing guard.
Nancy Jones, also a sophomore,
played guard in Junior Hi ball,
but changed her position this year
and plays forward.
Dottie Burnette went out as a
guard for Junior Hi ball, but un
fortunately did not stay out long
enough to get a suit.
Ann Shaver, a freshman, was
on the Junior Hi team and is
continuing her good work this
year as a guard.
Ann Walker and Carolyn Lucka
d°o, also freshmen, are continuing
their work and are playing guard
for the team.
Judy Fuller, our tall tenth
grade guard, is continuing her
work from Junior Hi.
Betty Creasman, a junior, has
had one year of varsity ball and
is playing guard this year.
Tut Harper helped quite a lot
in Junior Hi ball and is contri
buting a lot to varsity ball this
year.
Doris Peek, our one and only
Senior, plays forward.
Sandra Ballard is another one
of our little freshmen players who
is a forward. She is really good
on those long shots.
P-TA Meets Thursday Night
The fifth P-1 A meeting of the
school year will be held Thursday,
Jan. 15 in the school auditorium.
The president will call the meet
ing to order promptly at 7:30.
The High School Beta Club will
present the program. Mrs. Mary
Freeman is Beta Club sponsor and
Miss Ava Buckner is P-TA pro
gram chairman.
The meetings this year have
been well attended and enthusiasm
seems to be growing all the time.
The 450 persons who attended
last month has swelled our over
all attendance to close to 1000
in the first four meetings.
O. M. Alexander is president
and works with an executive com
mittee of about 25 persons. The
executive committee meets on the
iiiiiiijiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiie
second Tuesday of each month to
make plans for the association's
meeting each third Thursday. The
executive meeting and the general
meeting both come in the same
week this month.
This week’s program by the
Beta Club makes the third pro
giam this year to be presented
by the students themselves. It
is thought that programs pre
sented by the students stimulate
interest and cooperation. The Beta
flub is the local organization of
the National Beta Society which
honors students who achieve high
scholastic marks in high school.
The patriotic program to be pre
sented includes most of the mem
bers of our local club.
1 he P-TA has turned over al
ready this year $350.00 to the
school in the way of supplement
ing work that is being done in
the school auditorium and adding
to the growing film strip library
Mr. Walden and Mr. Medlin are
in charge of these school projects.

of every week.
JANUARY BALL GAMES
On January 13, we will play
Christ School here. They are in
the Blue Ridge Conference. The
boys will be the only ones to
play that night, and we are ex
pecting to upset them. Then on
Jan. 16 we play Barnardsville who
has one of the strongest girl’s
teams in the Buncombe County
Conference. After that comes
Candler, who we will play for
the second. In the previous game
they topped us both boys and
girls, but we are expecting to
make a better showing o ir next
meeting Then, here comes Bethel
to Swannanoa on Jan. 23. They
have both the boys’ and girls’
state championship of last year
and have a strong sta aling this
year. Next, here we go to Mars
Hill on the 27 of January. They
are also in the Blue Ridge Con
ference and have pulled a double
header on us that we hope to
revenge. Then comes our last
game in January, Warren Wilson,
our neighbors of whom we are
looking forward to a victory over
them. This is on January 30.
At the Christ School game and
also the Bethel, our B-team boys
will play.

SCHOOLS: OUR
RESPONSIBILITY
(This is the first in a series of
articles taken from the pamphlet
“Better Schools F’or Our Children”
prepared by the United Forces for
Education in North Carolina.)
A family’s most important con
tribution to society is rearing its
children. North Carolina’s biggest
and most important responsibility
is educating its children. Through
education we lift the level of liv
ing. Through education we pre
serve the freedoms that we call
the “American Way of Life.” Per
haps that is why the National As
sociation of Manufacturers has
said that “Business enterprises
must find a way to support the
whole educational program effect
ively, regularly—and now.”
Local communities also have a
responsibility. In North Carolina
both the state and the counties
have a responsibility for support
ing schools. Each county is re
sponsible for providing buildings
and equipment. The state pro
vides the funds to operate the
schools on a certain. standard.
Local units may support schools
at a higher standard through local
taxes.
The state has reduced its ef
fort. Though the state for this
school year has made the largest
appropriation it ever has for sup
port of public schools, it has ap
propriated a smaller portion of
the general fund than it spent in
1946-46. In 1945-46 sixty-nine per
Mr. Shaver is our coach this
year, and all of the girls are
learning a lot from him about
basketball.
Individual Points Score:
We thought you would be in
terested to know how many points
have been scored in basketball
this year and who scored them.
Those who have scored are listed
below.
The girls who have scored are:
Nancy Jones, 29; “Gwen” Nanney,
50: Laura Smith. 27; “Clearcy”
Morgan, 10; Doris Peek, 15; Sandra
Ballard, 9; Barbara Harding, 7.
Boys who scored are: Orren
Bell, 104; Walt McCraw, 0: Bob
by Gragg, 35; George Thompson,
5: Don Luckadoo, 11; Jack Allen,

JANUARY BIRTHDAYS
WHAT DID YOU DO
DURING THE HOLIDAYS?
Barbara Dillingham — I don’t
know. Betty Ann Creasman —
cent of the general fund went to
public schools; this year only 62.8
per cent has been appropriated.
Thus the state has actually re
duced its effort at a time when
greater support is needed and at
a time when the state is best able
to give that support.
The 1950 census showed that
there were 150,000 more children
in North Carolina under 14 years
of age than there were in 1940.
These are the children who are
crowding our buildings. These are
the children for whom there are
not enough teachers. These are
the children for whom the state
and local communities must pro
vide education.

Seniors Start Planning
Half of the year is passed, and
yet, all of the seniors have not
planned what they will do after
they get their diplomas. Here is
an account for part of them.
Some of the girls and boys are
planning to go to college and get
further education. Others plan to
take only a business course, and
then go into office work. Most of
the boys that are not going to
college know that Uncle Sam will
soon be calling their names, and
they will answer, “Present.” Then
another group will be marching
down the church aisle to say, “I
do”, to the preacher.
What will happen to this bunch
of seniors? That is a hard ques
tion to answer, but they are
wished the best of luck whatever
they do.

A Visit From Berea
Monday morning when we had
returned from our Christmas va
cation, we were greeted by some
visitors from Berea College. These
visitors were none other than Dr.
Weatherford, secretary of the
Department, and Dr. Kreidcr, pro
fessor of English at Berea.
Dr. Weatherford told about the
college and under what conditions
that a student entered. He also
told his reasons for believing that
students should enter college after
high school. All of the class en
joyed Dr. Weatherford’s talk and
hope that he and Dr. Kreider will
return for a visit real soon.
Student Council Meets
The first meeting of the Stu
dent Council in '53 was held Jan.
6. The meeting was called to order
by the president, Jim Stroupe.
It was agreed upon by the Stu
dent Council to add to the Ser
vicemen’s Roster the names of
the boys that have graduated in
the last few years and are now
serving our country. A committee
was appointed to make a list of
these names. Those serving on
this committee are John Brown,
Joe Jones, and Evan Powell.
The Student Council is
ning a clean-up campaign.
Bulletin Board committee is
ing posters on keeping our school
clean. The Program committee is
preparing a skit to encourage
school clean up.
We hope the school will co
operate with the Student Council
in making this clean up campaign
a great success.
