is We See
Ourselves
Before the consolidation of Black j
Mountain-Swannanoa High schools, s
many people speculated much riv- ,
airy, competition, and perhaps dis
agreements among students from (
the two schools. To everyone s |
surprise and relief, the two long ,
,-ivals are really as one. There is
unity in all the classes, the organ
izations, and in sports. The spirit
of cooperation is excellent. Under
the capable guidance of our be
loved principal, N. C. Shuford, ev
erything is running quite smooth
ly. Parents and friends are al
ways welcome to visit the school
at at time and view first hand
this workshop of cooperation.
The four senior homerooms have
elected presidents. They are:
.Nancy Jones, president of Mrs.
Josephine McCoy’s homeroom:
Pottie Burnette, president of Mrs.
Martha Perley’s homeroom; Grace
Simons, president of Y. L. Medlin's
homeroom, and Johnny Fox, presi
dent of Mrs. Ralph Humphries’
homeroom.
Vernon Johnson, director of pub
Mrs. Mary Propst is convalescing
at home after several weeks in the
Mission hospital. This column
wishes her a speedy recovery.
Ben Morris has a new television.
Our grandchildren, Charlie and
Pamela Taylor, were confined to
their home all of last week with
the flu.
It seems that the fat editor and
1 better shut up about the weather,
or old Mother Nature is going to
slap a cold wave on us that will
burst everybody’s water pipes, but
this week 1 don't seem to have
anything else to talk about. Last
night (Saturday night) was one of
the ones when it was dangerous
to be in the woods for fear of get
ting hit with splinters from freez- ;
ing timber. I had very intimate
communion with the weather when
I was nightwatchman at Blue
Ridge. I guess that Ed Bartlett is
having the same experience right
now. It is no joke that timber
freezes and sometimes cracks with i
a loud report. I've had the day- !
lights scared out of me when a i
noise like a high powered rifle
would go off near me in the wee i
hours of the morning. You’ve!
probably noticed how the rhodo- [
dendron leaves curl when it is cold.
If one is in the woods in the quiet
of the night when the temperature
is going down, one can hear them
curl, it sounds like hundreds of
fairies are rolling them up like
scrolls.
One night while 1 was night
watching it snowed heavily all
night long, I had to break a new
trail each round. I had so many
clothes on that I nearly rocked
myself to sleep trying to get up
when 1 fell down in the laurel
thickets. Charlie Dawkin, the head
cook for Lee School, made the
rounds with me until long after j
midnight, the main power line1
broke down before daylight, it was j
a tough night.
uogs came irom an over tne
country to look for garbage, some
of them would go the rounds with
me, we had many good races dur
ing the nights. One night the dogs
flushed a stray cat, he ran between
my legs spitting fire as he went.
I could feel the hair raising on
the back of my neck. Another
time I heard a great commotion
in the kitchen as 1 passed, upon in
vestigation I found two civet cats
in a barrel with a few empty cans
having a hard fight. 1 cautiously
turned the barrel over and the
lovely little animals scurried away.
These little cats used to be a great
deal of company to me, they would
nuzzle around the kitchen as I
waited between rounds, sometimes
in a fit of arrogance they would
come at me with their hindparts
hoisted into the air, beating the
floor with their forepaws.
The worst fright that I had while
nightwatching was one night while
the moon was full and the only
light that I carried was a small
flashlight. 1 was going through
one of the thick rhododendron
patches browsing along in the dark,
suddenly I felt someones presence
close at hand. I switched on my
light and there within inches of my
face was another face. Needless
to say, I “retched fer my weepon,”
but before 1 done anything lash I
recognized him as one of the Lee
School boys that had slipped out
and was knocking around in the
woods. I was jumpy all the rest
of the night.
Delmar Williams has finished
pulling a hitch in the navy and has
come home.
Clara Propst, who has been
working in Pennsylvania this win
ter, has come home. I didn’t think
to ask her if she is home for good
or not.
Our Lottie Moon circle met at j
the church last Tuesdav night. 1
Mrs. Eugene Byrd and Mrs. Earl
Jolly served delicious refresh- 1
ments. It was a very good meeting.
Well, happy Valentine Day folks. 1
We surely do love you everyone.
