This was awarded after she sent them her recommendations and qualifications as language instructor. The scholar- ship enabled her to travel Europe studying the customs of the people and the studies of the children. Miss Hughes has traveled to many scefiic spots in France, Spain. England. Italy, and the Isle of Capri. Some of these spots were the Eiffel Tower, the world-famous Cathedral in Milan and while she was here she saw the original painting of “The Last Supper.” Wandering around the ruins of Pompeii, she con- tacted a wig of volcanic dust. Miss Hughes has enjoyed many new experiences in her travels. One was eating octopus and rice in a little Spanish restaurant. Another was sipping tea around a burning pan of charcoal placed under the table, a quaint Spanish custom. While in Europe, Miss Hughes has taken many pictures and made movies of her travels abroad. Next fall Miss Hughes will again be back in Charlotte teaching. 49 £t Ucthf, 9ndt U4Jft 4italn The Percussion Section consists of (front row L. to R.): G. Bosworth, P. Parker, J. Wilds.

Following the game a dance honor- ing the queens was held in the girls’ gym. A quarter fee was charged for the honor of dancing with one of the queens. This money went to the March of Dimes.

At the end of the season he was on the All State Honorable Mention Team. Frank Alfonso, known as the “Little Terror” will spark the “Orioles” through their 1955 grid season. He’s held a position on the varsity for two years.
