Some Fadls About Lane T HE last few years have brought numerous changes to Lane High School. Last year Cupid removed from our ranks two teachers, Miss Grace Reynolds and Miss Naomi Sheppe, whose places were taken by Miss Lucile Bridgman and Mrs. H. C. McCoy. Mr. J. N. G. Linley replaced Mr. Leroy Hildrup as a history teacher. Our enrollment for 1933-1934 was about 850. This increase has placed us in Class A, which includes all schools in Virginia with an enrollment of 750 or more. This means that we shall have to compete next year with Class A schools for honors, both literary and athletic. A number of changes have been made in the building, all of which we are glad to term improvements. Two years ago adequate lunch- room facilities, an enlarged modern library, new lighting fixtures, a new stage and dressing rooms for the auditorium were added to the equipment at Lane High. This year C. W. A. funds made possible some external beautifications. Under the direction of Dr. Johnson, a new sidewalk was laid ; new steps were erected ; and a new retaining wall was built. The School Board also gave us new shrubbery, which was placed in front of the building. Assemblies in Lane High School have become one of the major extra-curricular activities. Pupils assume the chief responsibility for the assembly programs, preparing and performing them under the sponsorship of a teacher. A schedule of assemblies prepared under the direction of the principal early in the session provides for approxi- mately two assemblies each month. In order to secure the widest possible participation, no pupil is expected to take part in more than two assemblies each term. As the result of careful planning and friendly rivalry, the productions are usually entertaining and of a high standard. Thirteen
