Department of Photography is in its third year of operation. Its primary purpose is the production of more and better pictures of school activities for the annual and the paper. A second- ary aim is photographic training and experience for staff members. The department is operated on a material-cost basis. The charges for any one pictures does exceed the immediate cost, but a great many pictures are taken from which selection is made. Any surplus funds are turned into n ew equipment. The very many hours spent by the staff are not counted in the cost. POR @5G RoASP ERE 60 Gibiete {CibiU) 1s} This year the piano was moved from the band room into a class- room, where the Glee Club rehearsals are held. Mr. Henry Len- hoff, director, has really worked with this group of ‘’songsters.”’ Although he had a limited number, this fact did not discourage him. There have been many highlights in the activities of this group. Among these were programs presented at civic clubs, P.T.A. meetings, and several assembly programs, including a Christmas concert to which the parents were invited.

WILL CHERISH AND HONOR YOU DEARLY AND TRY TO BRING YOU GLORY DUE LEEDS OD OO Co-Captains Richard Turner and R. J. Rogers lead the football team onto the field. FOOTBALL Much to the surprise of many, this year’s Tiger football team far surpassed the ex- pectations of many. The “’so-so’’ team Wadesboro was expected to have turned out became a very strong contender for the conference championship. The Tig- ers, through hard work on the practice field and by maintaining such good spirit all through the season compiled a 7-3 over-all record and a 6-2 conference record. Until the last two games of the season the Tigers were in contention for the championship, finally emerging in third place. Assistant Coach Tony Sellari and Coach J.

BASEBALL The 1954 Tiger baseball team made a very fine record for itself. They were on the ball all the way, and when the season ended, they had a 5-5 over all record. As usual, there was quite a little ‘“changing around” and “’filling in’ to be done, but when it was finally organized, it showed up in a well-trained team.

The parade which was held in the late afternoon, was considered Wades- boro High’s best. We worked diligently! The parade is underway! @ Comth G Although we lost the ball game, we felt it was to a good team, as the Clinton team became conference champions. Nancy Ballard was crowned queen at halftime, while the band formed a crown around the queen and sponsors. The Homecoming festivities came to an end with a gay dance attended by all.
