By Nancy DuPuy
The first six weeks of school a^e
over, and report cards come out
this week. To the freshmen this
will be a new experience; to the
seniors, wc hope, an inspiration
to do their very best this last year.
On Wednesday, the members of
the Future Home
makers of Amer
ica held their
regular meeting.
The program was
the installation
service of the
new officers. An
arrangement of
roses, the club
flower, and can
dles, represent
ing the flame of DuPuy
home economics and the eight
club purposes, were on a table
around which the incoming offi
cers were seated. Each girl in
turn. rose, lit a candle and said
one of the F.H.A. purposes.
The old president. Nancy Du
Puy. led the girls in the pledge of
office and turned the gavel over
to the new president. Marlene
Pyatt. This club is made up of
girls interested in home economics,
who are taking it now or have
had two years of home-making in
struction.
Fifty F.H.A. girls, their instruct
ors. and several chapter mothers

One of the most exciting things
which happened this w'eek and
which created confusion in each
room was the taking of school
pictures. Everyone tried to look
his or her best and the result was
amazing! It gave the whole school
a new appearance, especially with
those senior boys in their'white
dinner jackets!
I The staff for the annual this

chosen by several members of the
faculty from a list of those inter

This is a photograph of the former old Black Mountain
Inn for summer tourists, made by M. W. Young, who reminds
that earlier in the century it was located on the Blue Ridge
road just east of the intersection from Blue Ridge assembly.
He reminds that it was owned by Alfred Stevens and that
the building caught fire and burned to the ground one fall
day when Mr. Stevens was raking and burning leaves, pre
paratory to closing the inn for the winter season. The estab
lishment commanded a beautiful view of the Craggies.

A dress labeled “Sanforized,"
“Rigmel,” or “will not shrink more

out of fit.
A dress fabric that has been
given special finish and labeled
“crease resistant,” “wash and

would be no restoration of homi
