OUR SCHOOL . .. SOUTH Noarouc HIGH Sci-moi. Dear Bill, I suppose you're right in the midst of school activities now. Ivell, so am I. Getting adjusted to life in a new school was not as difficult as I thought. I was overwhelmed with the friendly help given me from all sides. Before school actually began I went to register at the ofiice. You should see all the electives from which I had to choose. There were such subjects as chemistry, biology, mechanical drawing, geometry, and all sorts of math. There were classes in music too: appreication, vocal, and band. You know I went in for those. Machine and woodshop are also offered. Of course there were certain fundamentals, but I didn't mind much. Gosh, Bill, you should see their-I mean our-gym. It's really swell and we have several coaches. I was immediately asked ifl had ever played baseball, football or basketball. I made the football team and practiced every afternoon. ' I eat in the cafeteria every day so I will have time to participate in noon recreation. The food is super and the cafeteria is an attractive room. I spend only fifty cents and you know how I eat, Bill. We have assemblies every week which are held in the auditorium. They are usually presented by the students and are always educational and entertaining. Talents are often displayed on these assemblies, too. After school activities really keep me busy, what with football practice every afternoon. There are Choral Club practices every Monday night. I also am a member of the Hi-Y and the band. I didn't quite make the Beta Club, but maybe next year. Miss West, my English teacher, says I might make a good debater, because I have a loud voice and like to argue. Gee whiz, Bill! Here's someone who wants me to talk. We have a Student Council, too, and ours is an active one. A campaign was held to elect the president and the student body chose Carlton Chappell. He made lots of promises and has kept everyone. You'd like him, Bill. I-Ie's swell. I thought my first few weeks were going to be pretty tough for I didn't know my way around. Ijust didn't know the students of South Norfolk High! No one is a stranger to them. I got offers from everyone to show me around. Well, Bill, I have a date at 7:00 to go to the movie. Will stop at the drug store afterwards and talk with the gang. Surely wish you were here. We would have loads of fun. I A pa , JOHNNY P. S.-Here are a bunch of pictures to prove that all I say about our school is true. These should convince you of all our advantages.

DEDI CA TI ON This year we, the staff of the '49 Tiger, feel that our job could never have been completed had it not been for one person. Not only has she helped us with the annual but she has been a friend as well. As prob- lems came to us, we went to herg when we ran out of ideas, she suggested something. Through her untiring efforts, the annual has been completed. It is with a high feeling of gratitude that we dedicate this annual to Miss Virginia Hicks. '
