HE HIGH SCHOOL enrollment for 1921-22 is 2001 an in- ,f'E'l - CA f ' l ll ' h l B 1 crease o approximate y per cent in t e ast year. ecause t of this the Faculty has increased from seven to nine. Two county schools consolidated with our city schools, thus making an increase in every grade. Not only does this give them the l advantage of better schooling, but also interests many gram- mar school graduates of the county to come into Reidsville High on the school 'bus, instead of dropping their education there. This arrangement is not per- manent-merely on trial. This year, as last, we attained the standard by being on the list of accredited schools of the Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools of the Southern States. The arrangement for the four-year high school course which was necessary because of the addition of a grade has now been com- pleted, so that a graduate of this High School will have no condition in enter- ing any college in the South. A steady improvement has been shown in the music -culture, due to the efficient supervision of Mrs. Francis NVomack. Regardless of lack of study hall, great progress has been made. Plans are now being made for the musi- cal part of the Commencement exercises which her class will render. In spite of the adverse conditions under which the Athletic Associations have labored their records have been exceptionally successful. Not until after Christmas did they succeed in obtaining an indoor court for basket-ball, and all standard branches of physical culture are planned for next year's course. S

'if THE. SOUVENIR wg The city voted 3300000 bonds for a new High School building. The bonds were sold December 23, 1921. The premium on the bonds amounted to 9'p10,700. The.land adjoining the Franklin Street School has already been purchased for the site, and plans for a new, modern High School have been accepted. The building is to be completed by the fall of 1922, The perfect attendance of the entire enrollment of the High School for the fall teim of 1921 has been 23 per cent. This has accounted in large part for the long scholarship honor list this year. Those on the honor roll making a grade of from 95 to 100 were as follows: Estes Millner, Bertha McCollum, Ruby Smith, Margaret Fels, Lois Lively, and Elizabeth McGehee. The others on the honor roll made an average of between 93+ and 95. Their names fol- low: Benton Pipkin, Catherine Gardner, Zora Foy, Susie Sharp, Louise Tesh, Maude Griffin, Margaret Lee Millner, Helen Newell, Loula B. Clarke, Eliza- beth Stocks. Burch Lively. Berrie VVilliams, Virginia Butler, Dillard Gardner, and lVilliam Butler. 9 A splendid spirit of cooperation exists between the Faculty and the stu- dent body. The pupils have realized that dishonesty does not pay and that it hurts the individual, the class, and the reputation of the entire High School. This realization has caused the development of a high system of honor, which is the only salvation of a school. Public School Music for Sight Singing and Music Appreciation HIS SCHOOL has been greatly benehted by the Public School i Music Course which Mrs. Francis VVomack has so graciously is taught for the past eight years. Not only are we able to get up musical programs quickly but we have also learned to rec- ' , i f 7 M QETfclsC,5 xii l ognize and sing good music. It is taught as a regular course in all grades once a week, but the High School studies in a body. Three special groups: Q l J Double Trio, C25 Mixed Quartet, f 35 Male Quartet, and a Chorus Choir have been made up of the best voices. A concert is given in the middle of each year by these groups and the music for the bac- calaureate sermon and the Commencement exercises is rendered by them. 9 x
