The school year began with six teachers and ninety-eight pupils. Lr. Carroll G. Davis, Jr. High Principal, teaches physical education,spelling, and manual training. Miss learl McCabe teaches math and English. Mrs. Lonnie Jones teaohes science and hone eccnonics in the eighth grade. Mrs. 0.. E. Van Meter teaches English and science in the seventh grade. Miss Gail McWilliams teaches English and social science in the eighth grade.Mrs. Lily Rogers was teacher of social science and was in charge of all music. The qualifications of the Junior High faculty, the establishment of a Jr. High library and the addition of physical education and man- t ual training to the course of study enables the Jr. High to become a member of the north Central Association of Junior High Schools. Generally speaking the Jr. High School has presented a well rounded program for all students. Music and physical education have received special emphasis.Specific activities included three assembly programs, participation in the music festival, basketball tournament and track meet. Under the leadership of Miss McCabe and Mr.Davis, who are eighth and seventh grade sponsors,several successful parties and picnics have been. held.

So with the biggest part of the old tear., back and this years experience behind them '.ViIson expects the best next year. The Wilson Eagles started off the 45-46 basketball season with an easy victory over Zaneis on the opponents' court, and kept their reoord clean until they met Dundee, one of the stronger teams of the conference. The Wilson five were unexperienced, but improved and showed good sportsmanship all through the season. Before the season was over, two of the first team Seniors, Jimmy Cannon and David Brewer, left for the Ilavy. Two other Seniors, Jim West and llorman Cooney, closed their high school basketball careers with the last game of the season. At the half of the homecoming game with Fox, both the Jr. and the Sr. High queens were crowned. Jim West, the Sr. captain,crowned Mary Va. Holmes, the Sr. queen. J.B. Keans as the Jr. High Captain orowned Barbara Sills, the Jr. High Queen. Janes Barrett was leading scorer for the year, with West and Hunter running second and third. Wilson should have a promising team for next year, with several lettermen returning.
