THE ALLEGRO CLUB
The Allegro Club met at
the home of Miss Edith Jeff

While the weather was un
usnally bad, there were sev
eral members present. The
business meeting was held
first and much interest was
manifested in the prize that
was offered by the leader, for
the best paper on “Bach and
His Works.” After the busi
ness a good program was giv
en and enjoyed by the listen
ers. A group of old songs
sung with much feeling by the
club closed the program.
Games were then played until
Mrs. Jeffrits invited everyone
into the dining room where
dainty refresments w er e
served.
The next meeting will be
with Miss IN^argaret Hargis,
Oct. 30, where an evening
will be spent in the study of
Bach.

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES
In view of the fact that the
time is not quite ripe for the
establishment of a real high
school paper by the pupils of
the McCrory High School, it
has been deemed essential
that this method be used to
acquaint our parents and all
other citizens of our commun
ity with our plans and accom
plishments. We realize that
publicity will aid very mater
ially in gaining the support
which is needed for the suc
cess of our school.
The editors* of this column
| wish to express the thanks of
the entire high school to the
editor of the Hbme News for
the generous space allowed
j us.
Whether this column will
appear weekly or semi
| monthly has not yet been de
cided. In either case we
earnestly invite the co-opera
tion of every pupil in the high
! school.
Mrs. W. G. Dilliard was a
visitor to the study hall,
Tuesday.
Each class of the high
school has an editor, and the
department plan may be used
in this column next time.
Two basket ball teams
have been organized by the
girls of the high school, but
weather conditions have pre
vented practice playing up to
this time.
Mrs. W. ' T. McCain and
Mrs. Ed Woods were visitors
at the meeting of the Literary
Socitey last Friday afternoon.
Our Literary Society, which
meets every two weeks, is
growing more interesting with
each program. We cordial
ly invite our parents and
friends to be present at these
meetings. *
A Dramatic Club was or
ganized on last Monday, Oct.
13th, by thepupils of the high
school. The following offi
cers were elected: Margaret
Hargis, chairman; Helen
Hayes, secretary; and Pauline
McCain, treasurer.
,A number of short plays
have been ordered, and the
club expects to present one at
an early date. For a while
these plays are to be given
only at the Soociety- meetings,
but later it is planned to
offor some full evening plays
publicly.
Somehow, we feel that our
schools are in line for a
peroid of unusual growth.
Every patron and friend of
the school should deeply ap
preciate the efforts being put
forth by the school board in
the cause of education.
After a long wait we have
received our drinking foun
tains. One of them holds
fifteen gallons and makes
a very convenient and sani
tary addition to our high
school. The other, which
holds only five gallons, was
bought as an experiment for
the grammar school. It has
not been decided whether
three more of the smaller
type or another one of tire
larger shall be installed in
this department.
