Adviser After the thrill ot finally being upper- classmen wears otf, juniors settle down to a year of pleasant responsibilities. Frantic work chairmen bravely attempt to guide the mad rush of harassed but happy helpers in the concession stand. Excitement mounts as class rings are chosen, and even graduation no longer seems quite so distant and remote. The ultimate challenge to junior abilities is the annual presentation of the Junior-Senior, which requires ingenious originality and much hard work to make it the best one yet. Y Mrs. W. R.

Possess- ing a familiarity of Lenoir High and having the realization that teachers aren't altogether tyrants give them confidence and ease during their second year at L.H.S. They cast pitying glances at the present freshmen, struggle through b i o l o g y experiments, and eagerly await their following two years as upperclass- men.

Miss Dixon, the girls' basketball coach, is preparing to give pointers to her team cap- tains, Jean Talton and Alice Hightower. This jump could mean another point on the L.H.S. score.

In the preliminary before the boys' games each Tuesday and Friday night, the competition is just as heated as that at the Bearcats. Coach Dixon can be proud of the competitive spirit and the will to win she has instilled in these graceful, agile, young women. The Ladycats try tor the fast break.
