gli, flabzorremct Publication of the annual also played an important part in the minds of the students, especially the seniors. The staff included: Marvin Spry, Ethel Spry, Grady Spry, Helen Grubb, John Wagner, Jean Hilliard, and Mary Louise Gales. The basketball teams were organized early in December and Frank Tatum and Jean DeWeese were elected captains of the boys' and girls, team. Both teams were coached by Mr. J. W. Don- nelly. An excellent schedule of games were arranged and the teams are doing nice work. In order to give the students in school a greater responsibility in treating problems at school, a Student Council was set up in January. Each student had certain responsibilities and jobs to do. We are planning to have a senior play later in the year, and expect it to be a great success. The Junior-Senior Banquet will be given in April and the Juniors are working very hard to give the Seniors a very nice Banquet. The Seniors are all looking forward to commencement. Some will be going to college, some will go immediately to work, and others will join the armed forces of our country, The seniors will be very happy and proud that they have finished High School and the greatest thrill of all will be receiv- ing their diploma for which each member has worked eleven years. Although they are proud of their success, they will also be sad about leaving Cooleemee High School, knowing that they will never enter into school life at Cooleemee any more.

.Slchovl The 1944-45 school year opened late in September with Mr. G, R. Madison as principal. Mr. Madison has now been with us for two years. l There were several new faces around Cooleemee High School. Although Mr. Madison has been with us for two years, Mrs. Madison had never taught us until this year. Mrs. Madison is our commercial teacher and has in her room the ninth grade girls. Miss Anthony, Home Economics Teacher, came to Cooleemee from Virginia and has her room Hlled with the junior girls. Mrs. Moody, English teacher came from Reidsville, N. C. and has in her room the senior boys and girls. Mrs. Bost has charge- of the ninth grade boys and Mr. Donnelly's homeroom is made up of the junior boys. The first few days of school was quite gay for the students, but everyone soon settled down to hard work. Shortly after school opened, the students began thinking about clubs and other extra-curricular activities. Before long there were three clubs organized. They were: Glee Club, Home Economics Club, and Music Club. The Glee Club under the direction of Miss Helen Daniels was organized and the members were soon busy learning new songs. The music club, also under the supervision of Miss Daniels, elect- ed the following officers: President, Mary Shepherdg vice president Frank Tatumg secretary, Janet Eaton, treasurer, Modene Foster. The Home Economics Cl-ub consists of the pupils taking Home Economics and was supervised by Miss Anthony. Another extra-curricular activity was the school newspaper. It was published once every month and the staff included: Cecil Berrier, Jean DeWeese, Marvin Spry, Grady Spry, Ethel Spry, Mary Louise Gales, Frank Tatum, Wilma Campbell, and Jean Hilliard.
