At Owen By Nancy DuPuy I he game with North Buncombe Saturday night, Jan. 24, created a great deal of excitement and surely aroused school spirit. Post ers were placed about the school and feeling ran high. There was a large turnout for the game; everyone antici pating the great game that it was. Monday everyone was floating on air, especially the ball “stars”! We would like tc congratulate both teams and theii coaches for the wonderful bal they played. The Future Homemakers o: America met on Jan. 21 in th< school auditorium. After welcom ing remarks, the president. Marl ene Pyatte, turned the meeting over to Pattie Talbot, who was ir charge of the program. Mrs. Haze Wilson, one of our teachers, let a panel discussion. On the pane were Mary Bannerman, Joan Con net, Carroll Norwood and Joe Robinson. They discussed teen-ag( problems such as curfew hours week-night dates, drinking, drive in dates, manners on dates, anc suitable places for dates.

On Friday, Jan. 23, a represent ative from Oak Ridge, Tenn., Mr Maddron, presented a program or atomic energy for the studen body. It was from the Oak Ridg' Nuclear Science Museum division The talk was interesting and he was a fine speaker. He had sev eral displays illustrating peaceful uses of atomic energy and ex plaining atomic fission and the make-up of a molecule. His talk was especially interesting to the seniors who are taking physics, as they are now studying atomic en ergy. Mr. Maddron also suggest ed a possible field trip to the Atomic Research center at Oak Ridge this year to the physics class, which stayed after the pro gram to ask questions and for further explanation. Juniors and seniors learned of scholarships offered by the Amer ican Enka foundation as they list ened to a talk given Jan. 26. A member of the industrial relations staff of the Enka corporation spoke on these possibilities. He expressed the need for well-trained chemists, physicists and engineers. He also said that North Carolina ranks 47th among the states in percentage of high school graduates. He urged as many as possible of the seniors to come in March, “spend the day” there at Enka, and take the tests for these scholarships. The first semester is over and grades for this half of the year will soon be given out. It is hard to believe that most of the seniors have only a few more months at Owen. Mid-term exams have been given the past two weeks and have to some extent limited our activ ities. We are hoping that every one will work to make these next months the very best of the school year.
