T. B. 266 students took the test.
Tardies in high school are still

THE SUPPLY ROOM
(By Naomi Edens)
Last year, in an attempt to raise
more funds for the Athletic Associa
tion, Mr. Barnes and the High
School faculty decided to try a stu
dent supply room. All school sup
plies — tablets, [»ent'ils, ink, pencil
leads and erasers, paste, composi
tion books, notebooks and paper,
song books, shorthand tablets, pen
staffs and points and other articles
—are sold at the same price charged
by other merchants. With Martin
Harmon and assistants in charge, ex
cellent results were obtained last
year. This year, it was decided to
continue this convenient service.
Two senior girls, Naomi Edens and
Mary Boyce McGill, have charge, un
der the supervision of Mr. F. M.
Biggerstaff. A large number of high
school students patronize the Supply
Room, but not as many as was antic
ipated. The grammar grade and prl
uiry students are also very good cus
tomers.
The Supply Room is open each
school morning from 8: JO to 8:45
and each day from 12:50 to 1:05,
during the lunch hour. It is located
on the third floor of the high school
building.
Every penny the students trade
in the Supply Room goes to the
high s'choul Athletic Association for
new equipment. At the present time
the Supply Room is conducting a
drive for new customers. Your sup
port will be appreciated.
DON'T BE A QUITTER!
(By Nelline Gault)
Did you know that Kings Moun
tain should have about 66 per cent
more students graduating than they
do have? In our eighth grades this
year we have 127 pupils enrolled.
This is remarkable. But, this is the
sad part — we only have 42 enrolled
in the Senior Class! 1 think it is
just really terrible! We should have
from to ninety to one hundred grad
uating.
In Monroe, N. C., a town about the
size of Kings Mountain, they have 71
in the eighth grade and 6b in the 11
grade. \\ hat a contrast to that or
Kings Mountain. In Monroe, of the
of the little folks that enter th"
first grade almo-t every one of th m
finish the 11th grade.
During t lie year 1934-35, at the b
ginning of school we had 352 enrol!
ed. At the last of school we only ■
had 257, in high school, loosing a
Airing tlie year. During 1925-36 we ;
md 319 enrolled in high school, but
it tlie end of school we had 257.
ocsing 52. .Most of the pupils v. h >
• rop out of school have no particle
ir reason for doing so.
Don’t be a quitter! if you enter j
igh school stick to it until the
isk is finished.

How do you spend your leisure
time — wisely or or unwisely? Sure
ly not unwisely, for there are so
many ways that we can spend il
I wisely. There are many enjoyable
j and beneficial hobbies that may oc
cupy your time. Among these are
drawing, collecting various articles
such as stamps, carving various
sorts of ornamental articles out ot'
wood, cooking, and sewing. Any of
these and various others are worth
your time. Another very beneficial
one is reading. By reading good
hooks we may take trips to lands
which are very interesting and
where we meet many interesting
people. By reading newspapers and
magazines we keep up with the
j things which are happening around
! us as well as things in distant lands.
Have you ever heard anyone say,
"I don’t know how to use my leisure
time’;" When you hear one say this
tell him of the many interesting
hobbies, and l assure you that he
can find some hobby which will ap
peal to him.
Another way of spending leisure
time is by helping those around you.
You may do some little kindness for
someone who is sick or who is less
fortunate than you. If we only try,
we can find numerous days of spend
ing our leisure time to an advantage.
SENIOR CLASS OBSERVATIONS
(By Naomi Edens)
The Kings Mountain High School
seniors are beginning to realize that
their public school education will be
concluded this June. No one will
rest contented until the diploma is
placed in their hand. Each and ev
ery one is working very hard to
reach that goal.
The production of "Harmony
Hall,” is musical comedy, will start
in the near future. This will be the
annual senior class presentation.
Just before the Christmas holidays
the first shipment of the high
school rings arrived. This was an in
spiration to most of us. Other sen
iors are ordering their rings now
that the first semester's work has
been completed.
Last year, we worked and prepar
ed a farewell banquet for the seni
ors. This year Miss Scoggins. Miss
Crosland, and the juniors are mak
ing plans for our farewell banquet. I
am sure that I can speak for the
rest of my class and say that this
is the most anticipated affair of the
spring season, excepting only the
graduating exercises.
Several colleges have sent repre
sentatives to talk to us about going
to college. Burnau College, Woman’s
College — University of North Caro
lina, and Elon College have sent re
preseutatives. As the days and
weeks go by, we expect to be con
tacted by other coleges. This too is
an inspiration
The Cap and Gown committee has
begun taking measurements, and
the Invitation committee has been r
reiving samples. Everything points
to graduation — except one or two
.•Tench grades.
1 WONDER:
(I. C.' AUL)
Why Mr. Hendricks has so many
ladies on his hands.
Why Mr. Moss is so witty?
What would happen if everybody
;ot to school on time once.
Why our high school boys are so
aggravating?
vVhy Margaret Phifer is so bril
liant?
Why Lila Faye Sides doesn’t thin
her hair?
Why our high school girls didn’t
mind taking the T. B. shot. Was it
because of the handsome Doctor?
What would happen if our boys
won another basket ball game?
Why we don’t have a school paper.

HAVE A TELEPHONE
OF YOUR OWN
Haven't you anil your family
often fell the need of a telephone in yonr home ’ i
Children, especially, are likely to feel keenly the lack
of such a convenient means of communication with
their friends. And when emergencies arise, the lack
of a telephone in your home might prove not only
costly, hut serious. t
A telephone, you will find, widens the horizon of ,
possibilities for a happier and more comfortable life
for the whole family.
Your neighbors and friends who have telephones
will be glad to learn you have one, for they know
from experience the many advantages of being in
quick, easy telephone reach. Then too, with a tele
phone of your own, you will avoid the embarrassment
of having to borrow a neighbor’s telephone.
When you weigh these and the many other advan
tages of a telephone against the small cost, don’t you
agree that it really doesn’t pay to try to get along
without one? Why wait longer to enjoy the many
advantages that a telephone in your home provides?
