Each of these may have a direct bear ing on school policy for the next two years. CONSOLIDATION HB 367, introduced February 2C by Thomas W. Allen of Granville and others, forbids closing ot schools or transfer of pupils ol schools with an enrollment of as much as 60 without the approval of a majority of the voters in the affected district. HB 440, introduced February 25 by C. Gordon Maddrey of Hert ford, allows any high school with average daily attendance of 45 or more pupils to continue to oper ate as an accredited high school though it is less than the 60 pupil minimum required by the State Board of Education. The county or local unit is to reimburse the State Board for such additional expense as is brought about by reason of attendance being below 60. These two bills, along with sev eral local anti-consolidation bills, have been sent to a sub-committee of the House Education committee for study. A pubic hearing on all consolidation bills is to be held soon before both Senate and House Education committees. After this hearing the sub-committees will get down to work on the various bills. GIRLS BASKETBALL HB 348, introduced February 20 by R. Bruce Etheridge of Dare, rolled through both House and Senate under suspension of rules and became law. It abrogates the State Board of Education regula tion prohibiting playing of girls high school basketball tournament games outside the county in which the school is located and author izes county boards to permit the use of gyms for tournaments. SCHOOL LAWS SB I no, introduced by Fred Royster of Vance and Robert F. Morgan of Cleveland, empowers the Governor to appoint a seven member commission to study school laws and recommend re visions to the 1955 General As sembly. It received a favorable report from the Senate Education committee February 24. SB 231 and HB 495, identical bills introduced on February 27 by Senator Royster and Repre sentative Maddrey, chairmen of Senate and House Education com mittees, amends various sections of the school laws to make the following provisions: 1. County boards of education may not invest in construction of new, or major alteration of exist ing school facilities unless in ac cordance with plans approved by State Superintendent nor for more money than is made available. Copies .of related contracts must be filled with the State Superin tendent. Project must be inspect ed and approved by representative of the State Superintendent and by the local school superintendent Sawn. PTA Meets Thursdayr March 19 The Swannanoa P-TA will hold its sixth meeting of the school year tonight (March 19). Mr. 0. M. Alexander, president, will pre side over the meeting which gets underway at School legislation will be presented and discussed in a short program. a mm scrip, "tietter scnoois ior Our Children,” will be shown, and a discussion and question and an swer period on school legislation now in the state’s General Assem bly. School legislation will be en acted in the next several weeks. Some of it is backed by the N. C. United Forces for Education of which the P-TA is a member. E. N. Howell, principal and president of the N. C. Education Association, will lead the discus sion. Mr. Charlie Nickols is P-TA Legislative Committee Chairman. Attendance is urged at this meeting since it is looked upon as perhaps the most important of the year. Since it will be two years before the legislature will change the policies established in the next few weeks, this poses an oppor tunity and a challenge to all of those people interested in better schools for N. C. children. HAVE YOU EVER SEEN? 1. Mary Ellen not talking? 2. Carolyn without Kenneth close by? 3. Peggy not saying, “non, je n’ ai pas or oui, je n’ ai pas?” 4.

Down The Hall Warren Wilson Speaker. Mr. John Connet, an instructor of music at Warren Wilson Col lege, talked to the seniors recent ly. He told about the different fields of study and the cost for one year at Warren Wilson college. He also gave an estimate cost for the other colleges. He told about the campus life at Warren Wilson and the requirements to enter the college. We enjoyed his talk very much. Annual Nears Completion. The annual staff hopes that their work is about finished. There are a few more advertisements to be taken and nut into nlace and then it’s ready for the press. Oh! what a relief! There is just one thing we aren’t happy about, and that’s the way the students are not paying for their copies of the annual. Let’s all try to get our payments in be fore very long. Club Begins First Play. On Tuesday, March 10, 1953, the Junior Dramatic club started prac ticing for our first play, “BUTCH” to be given in April. The play consists of seven characters, five girls and two boys. They are as follows: Jackie Netherton, Mrs. Randall. Mary Ellen Sims, Petunia. Mary Jo Cooke, Annabell Ran dall (Butch).

The “S’’ Club met on February 27 at 4th period in the auditorium. The meeting was called to order by President Kenneth Davidson and the roll called and minutes read and approved by secretary Phyllis Pyatt. It was decided that High School Intramurals would be played. Committees were appointed to see who would play on the teams from each grade. Another committee was appointed to sell the “Blue and White War riors T-shirts” which are on sale now. The meeting was then ad journed. 10th Grade News. The tenth grade girls have four varsity players in the high school intramurals Wednesday. They al so have eight other girls that are good but didn’t quite make the varsity team. The players are Barbara Harding, Annie Louise Morgan, Nancy Jones, Sara Dil lingham, Dotty Burnette, Ann Mc Call, Peggy Edmunds, Martha Mahaffey, Patsy Patton, Reba T Aiirie Toon l? unc LA Into A linn urw] Betty Lou Reynolds. We hope to win the intramurals, but if we don’t we can say we tried. A pajama party was given at Barbara Harding’s last Saturday night. Those present were: Sara Dillingham, Nancy Jones, Reba Lewis, Phyllis Pyatt, Annie Louise Morgan and Frankie Allen. Every one had a wonderful time, and a lot of the neighbors are wondering who was roaming around at 1:30 in their pajamas. It couldn’t have been Reba, Frank ie, Nancy and Barbara, could it? We are all proud of George Thompson, a varsity player, who helped tromp past Barnardsville ami who we hope will help beat Valley Springs. The gossip column in the tenth grade is pretty long because there is a lot of gossip. Here is the latest going arouad: I wonder why Phyllis P. and John B. are getting so thick— could it be love? Barbara and Orren must be in love! They’ve been going togeth er for two years. Looks like they would get tired of each other. I wonder who Sara D. is struck on now ? Could it be a tenth grade boy or a twelfth grader? Could it be her hospital beau ? Wonder why Nancy J. likes to buy her shoes at Penney’s ? Dotty B. seems to be struck on a tenth grade boy. Could it be B. T.? I hear Carolyn W. would like to go with three boys. Wonder who they could be ? George A. seems to be heart broken. Could it be because his girl has another boy friend? Wonder what two girls took pic tures in their bathing suits in the middle of February? Could it have been P. P. and N. J.? Of course not! Wonder who the hand holding couple is now. Could it be Annie Louise and Fat? Well, that’s all the news and gossip for this time, but keep look ing for next week’s issue and boy! will you get shocked!! (N.

DAYS TO REMEMBER Certainly there are many days to remember during the year but none are any more important to the students of Swannanoa High than Good Friday, March 27, and June 2, for these are holidays! Good Friday will be observed the Friday before Easter. On March 27 our teachers will travel to Ashe ville for a teachers meeting, which means we students won’t have to travel out of bed to come to school. Last but not least is June 2, that glorious day which means we say good-bye to seniors and hello freshman. These are the days which will stand out as be ing happy ones for S.H.S. Barbara Harding.
