There they celebrated Arbor Day by putting on a pro gram. The program was centered around a pageant, “We’ve Planted Our Trees”. This was organized by Mrs. Hipp, a seventh grade teacher. First was the invocation by the Rev. G. B. Talbot. Then there was the salute to the United States flag and a song, “America”, both by the class. Next Chris Mimidis of 7 B-2 made some remarks about Arbor Day. The pageant was then presented. In it were Birds from Mrs. Bryan's 7 B-4, Fairies from Mrs. Noah's 7 B-2, Raindrops from Mrs. Hipp’s 7 B-3, Sunbeams from Mrs. Croy’s 7 B-l, and Tree Givers from Mrs. Noah’s 7 B-2. The Planter was Tommy McPeters from 7 B-3, Mother Nature was Mary Noah from 7 B-l, the Breeze was Doro thy Lawrence from 7 B-4. Elaine Bastaraehe recited the poem “Trees.” After this everyone appreciated Mrs. Roy Alexander’s singing. The announcer was Billy Wimberly and Mrs. Noah played the piano.

She invited them to look over the building and the four flowering dogwood trees. Mu.

It was a hot day and the auditorium was very crowded, but every one managed to get out safely. We enjoyed the selections played, especially “Johnson’s Old Gray Mare.” We also had a de lightful time on the way back, stopping at the Skyline Dairy and getting ice cream to cool us off. No one wanted much lunch when we got back to school because of the ice cream we had consumed. We are sorry it is our last year to go, since this annual privilege belongs to 6, 7 and 8 grades, and we hope to be in high school next year. —Phyllis Pruett and Frances Morgan JUNIOR Hl-Y LOSES THRILLER The Junior Hi-Y lost a thriller by one run last Saturday morning to the West Asheville Optimists.

The ninth grades are happy to have received their report cards on Monday afternoon, but a few were disappointed after taking the first look. All the boys and girls Swannanoa Boys Receive Aivards April 23, 1953, was the annual award night at the Asheville Y. M. C. A. Swannanoa received their part of the awards. Woodfin Y. won the National Achievement which was the main event. The boys making up the Swan nanoa team were: David Alexand er. Carroll Peek, Craig Eller, Ron ald Redman, Jerry Rhymer, George Pate, and David McMahan. Each team member received a Y plaque for their participation in the event. The contest was based on a handicap basis so the smaller boys would have an equal chance. Swannanoa placed winners in the following classes: Class F, Jerry Rhymer; Class D, David Alex ander and Carroll Peek; and Class B, David McMahan. Jerry Rhymer scored 250 and Carroll Peek 291 out of a possible 500. We are especially proud of Carroll Peek. Carroll made the team representing Asheville and Buncombe County in the National contest. We hope Carroll will con tinue developing his athlet’C abili ties and use them on the High school varsity teams next year. Besides the National Athletic awards the Y announced the win ners of the “Y” basketball free throw contest. The object of the contest was to see how many bask ets a boy could make out of 25. Jerry Rhymer won first place in the Midget division, Ronald Red man was second, and David Alex ander was third. In the Junior division Carroll Peek was first, Craig Eller was second, and David McMahan was third. Let's hope these boys will do as well in sports next year in High school.
