Her constant and unstinted loyalty to Belmont High School has strengthened and enriched all our own service and devotion to our alma mater.

Witla a definite goal in sight throughout the year's work, the members have proved themselves worthy. The goal was a trip to Mammoth Cave, Kentucky, and the club engaged in several money-making activities to pay for this trip, among them a carnival and a minstrel show. Another Tb outstanding activity came at Christmas, when the club collected and mended broken toys. Membership in the club is open to boys in the 9th, 10th, and llth b grades, who have shown themselves worthy of membership, and bids cg are extended twice a year to prospective members who have been voted on by the club.

' The last three days of the week are used for reporting on music theory, voice training, and glee club practice, Since the Hrst entrance ofrour Cilee Clubs in the state contests which are held in Greensboro, North Carolina, they have won many honors: especially the trio and quartet for their songs. They have sung before the high school and the American Legion Auxiliary with such success that they have been invited to clubs and several out-of-town organizations.

Lai kr Mud and on Playing tag with that Hckle lady, Fortune, our gridders wound up the seasonby being it for most of the games. Net results of this rather disastrous game of tag show that Belmont High won only one game, while dropping seven encounters. That lone and comforting victory came over Bessemer City, and the team was really clicking. Losses were yielded to strong teams from Wadesboro. Harding High and Tech High of Charlotte, Gastonia, Forest City, the Abbey Prep Ramblers, and our bitterest rival, Mount Holly, Orchids are in order for Coaches Guy and Kraynick for the long hours of extra duty they spent in,molding very green material into a creditable team at the end of the season. Losing seven regulars from the previous fine machine, they started from the ground floor with raw recruits and a few veterans as a nucleus. Recognition is due the boys who put in much time and effort with scant hope of the laurel wreaths and glory of victory. Coaches W. I.. GUY J.

Full of Fi lot-- BASEB LL The l940 edition of the Cardinal horsehide pushers roared through a highly successful season, and established themselves on top of the baseball heap. Wins for the team totaled fourteen, while four games went ovcr to the loss side of the ledger. Noteworthy victories were counted up against usually strong teams from Gastonia, Harding High, and Thomasboro, while two of the losses were to the frosh teams from Duke and Carolina. Some of the outstanding players on this squad were: E. C. Simpson, pitcher: Red Wilson, pitcher: Marvin Ballard, catcher: J. C. Glover, shortstop: Ed Morrow, third base: Cecil Horne, first base: Millard Barefoot, rightfieldg and Harris, centerfield. Prospects for this season do not seem so bright due to the fact that practically all of last years varsity is gone, but under the guidance of Coach Ed Bullard, the Cardinal team should do well.

By this time our Air Corps had increased by the addition of pilots and steward-- esses from East and North Belmont, New Hope, and Union. The first two miles we had excellent flying weather: therefore, there were no Uforced landings. However, during the remaining two miles several got out of 'Aformationf' and a few crashes were reported as we flew over the moun- tains of geometry, French, and Chemistry. So, we are landing at the new Belmont High 'lairportn to make repairs. But we, also, have vivid memories of this stop .Junior-Senior banquet , THIS CLARION, .

Page Seventy- Study Hours are Strenuou: Hours for the Eyes School children as well as adults should not attempt to do studying or any work requiring close visual application in dim or glaring light. Straining the eyes in poor light hour after hour might develop a handicap that can never be overcome. The eyes are on.e's most precious possession. We can never buy another pair. Lighting engineers have recently developed inexpensive lighting equip- ment of the study table whether it be in the school or home. Adequate in quantity and excellent in quality the illumination provided by the illumina- tion Engineering Society and Reading Lamp is SAFE and COMFORTABLE for reading. Davidson College, Queens College and hundreds of homes in North Carolina are equipped with these lamps to conserve eyesight and raise scholastic standards. DUIE POWER Cf.
