those who remember the time

McDougle. lie let us borrow it
for publication.
Many recalled some of those

complete lists were submitted by
Mrs. Phil Glenn and VV. Bingham
Gragg. Although their lists may
not agree 100 per cent it must
be remembered that they were

years ago. For the record we

High School News
By Patty Tyson.
The seniors appreciate whole
heartedly the generosity of the
P. T. A. in their project of land
scaping the area in front of the
new school in their honor.
The main concern of everyone
at the present is preparing to
move into the new school next
week. There will be many ad
justments to make and it will take
the co-operation of everyone. The
idea of moving into the new school
is looked upon with mixed feeling.
For *he lower classmen it prob
ably won’t make too much differ
ence, but for the seniors the oc
casion will be rather sad. Open
house is being held on Saturday,
Jan. 22, 5:00 p. m. until 8:00 p. m.
Everyone is cordially invited to
attend.
Mr. Shuford deserves much
praise for his untiring work and
thought in setting up the schedule
and the general run of things. The
teachers have also given much of
their time in arranging the sched
ules for all of the students.
The work in the office has been
suffering the past two weeks, be
cause Mrs. Humphries has been
staying at home with her son,
George Kelly, who is recuperating
from spinal meningitis. In the
new high school Mrs. Humphries
will not be in the office, but will
teach bookkeeping and physical ed
ucation.
The student council has com
piled a printed student directory.
This will he very informative to
all the students in Black Mountain
and in Swannanoa.
We are right in the middle of
basketball season now. The girls
have shown up better than the
boys so far, but we are hoping
that they will come through al
right. The ball game last Friday
night between our “war lassies”
(no official nickname has been
presented) and the North Bun
combe girls proved to be quite a
thriller. A basket in the last six
seconds of the game iced the win
for North Buncombe, the loop
leaders. This week Fairview and
North Buncofnbe provide our
teams with another rough slate.
The fine attendance at the games
helps the morals of the teams.
Keep it up!
