Students Attend State Fair—Seniors Will Get Rings

The bad weather has interfered with the progress of athletics lately but we hope to start again soon with new vigor.

As we all know it is a High School custom to get class rings either during the Junior or Senior year. The Seniors of this year have received satisfactory samples from several companies but have come to no definite conclusion as to which ring they like best.

The total enrollment for last week as 610. The average attendance was 585.

Several members of the Senior class and other grades of the high school will attend the State Fair in Raleigh. Among them: Misses Mary Alice Caudle, Margaret Redfearn, Nancy Burns, Catherine Vin, Clara Winfree, Mary Lilly Huntley, Messrs George Stanback, James Griggs, Earl Gilmore, Dick Little, and Tom Coxe Jr.

This year’s senior class feels very much encouraged over the fact that Miss Glendale Suits, a graduate of last year, has been promoted to the Sophomore Class in English at the North Carolina College for Women.

The Senior and Junior classes were delightfully entertained last Friday morning by Miss Elizabeth Horne, who told in the most interesting style of her trip to Europe last year. She dwelled particularly upon the “Passion Play” given every 10 years in the small German village of Oberammrgau. She told also of the many historical cities which she visited, and to illustrate, she passed interesting pictures around. Some of these pictures showed the characters arrayed in their beautiful, costly dress as they appeared in the “Passion Play.”

Miss Horne is a very interesting speaker and all the pupils regret that she could talk to them for only a short time.
