The first dance was at 8:00. At first not too many people were, there but by 9:30 there was quite a crowd. Usually a gang of Black Mountain people comes, but Sat urday there were just two boys from there. But those two seemed to enjoy themselves. Just about all the young people from Swan nanoa were there. The music, records, was furnished by Mr. Medlin, who called most all the dances. In between the square dances, a few of us round danced. It seems as if everyone in Swmn nanoa can round dance now. Those who can’t round dance are learn ing to. At 11:00 everyone started drift ing out the door. We all enjoyed ourselves very much and will be glad when there is another dance —which should be in about two weeks. This time we want all the people from Black Mountain and Swannanoa to be there! Student Council Projects The Student Council has several projects to helj^ improve the school. One of these projects has been completed, painting and re pairing of the lockers which great ly improved the looks of the third floor. The council also is adding to the list of names on the Service Roster of Alumni in Service. No names have been added since 194£>, s there are quite a few to be added. The total is approximately 700! In order to make it easier for visitors to find their way' around in the buildings, the council made a chart of the rooms and their numbers and are painting the num bers on the doors. The Poster Committee did a fine job on making and putting up posters on Clean-Up Week in Swannanoa last week. The Student Council also spon sors a chapel program every week. Future Teacheirs Meet. The Future Teachers club met on March 20 for a special meeting. Barbara Dillingham read a paper on Archibald Murphy. It was agreed to name our club after Murphy. Miss Wtenn talked about the N.C.E.A. convention. Donald Gant and Jo Mary Mclnturff were elect ed as representatives to go to the conference in Asheville on the 27th and 28th of March. At our regular meeting, Don and Jo Mary told us about the conference. Then the class discussed “teach ing as a career” and sang some songs. Survey of Clases Many people have been won dering what each class in high school is doing. We made a sur vey of some of the classes and these are some of the things they are doing. General Business—We are study ing buying problems because ev eryone should be a good buyer. Typing I—We are typing let ters to learn to type without a mistake. Typing II—We have a budget to hand in each week. This gives us a lot of practice and helps us to keep our speed in typing. English III—On Monday, Tues day, and Wednesday we study lit erature and on Thursday and Fri day we study grammer. In litera ture last week we memorized the Gettysburg Address. It seems that everyone likes literature better than grammar, but it is as important to know how to speak correctly as to know how to read. American History — We are studying the financial system in America. This is very interesting and helps everyone to learn more about his country. Geometry — We are studying circles. French I—We have French rec ords to listen to which helps us to speak French correctly. —American farmers will plant about 271 million acres of 16 major spring crops this year, com pared with 266.7 million last year. —U. S. non-agricultural exports increased 6 per cent during 1952 while agricultural exports dropped 151 per cent. —Last year was the third con secutive year of increase in the traffic death toll. umiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiaiiiiiiiaiiiinii —Tar Heel dairy farmers who must balance their ration with large amounts of grain find their costs higher than the man who gets the bulk of his feed from roughage. aiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiminiiniiiiiiiiiiii rv# «i.i I —The silo is the cheapest build ing in terms of stored feed value that can be built on the North Carolina dairy farm. —Living within the income means living without worry.
