climbs like a
SO Chevrolet! /!

Ever level off a mountain with
your foot? Nothing to it. Just point
this new '56 Chevy uphill and ease
down on che gas.
Up you go with a quiet (hy-
draulic-hushed valve lifters now in
all engines-V8 or g. rush of power.
This is the car, you know, that
broke the Pixies Peak record. The
car that conquered towering grades
and vicious switchback turns to
prove its superior performance,
handling ease and cornering ability.
These are built-in qualities that
mean more driving pleasure and
safety for you. Chevrolet also offers
such safety features as seat belts,
with or without shoulder harness,
and instrument panel padding as
extra-cost options.
There are 19 new Chevrolets-
all with Body by Fisher. Drop in
and drive one.

HAPPENINGS IN OUR SCHOOL


The day of our school dedica-
ton is upon us. Since the day that
we moved into our new building,
this day has been talked about
and discussed here and there
around Poinciana Park. Plans
have been suggested withdrawn,
started and stopped, and finally
revised. This was no more than
would be expected. But all in all,
we have come through with what
we consider will be enjoyed by
those who come to wish us well.
The Dedication program begins
at 800 Sunday afternoon, in the
school cafetorium. With the end :
ing of the program, open house
begins. At this time, guests are
free to visit all the various areas
of the school. We shall be happy
to greet you this Sunday at Po-
inciana Park
Along with many other schools
in the county, we have been in the
middle of self-Study practicum.
This week we had the pleasure of
being host to a joint meeting of
Rainbow Park and our faculties.
A short social period was held
just before class began. Besides
refreshments being served, light
note was added lby harmonizing
in song, and playing a parlor
game.
The meeting of the Day Parents
Club was a most delightful one
last Friday. The 5th grade classes
presented a Skit with the theme
centered around health. It need
not be said that it was well re-
ceived by those present. A short
talk was also given by the speech
teacher, Miss Haywood
The pupils in Mrs. Pinkney's
sixth grade class have been "up
in the stars" Of coure, if this is
taken literally, that statement
will have to be withdrawn. How
ever the boys and girls have been
studying unit on those heavenly
bodies we SIS floating around our
planet the earth. In few days
the unit will be completed, and
visit to their room bears evidence
to the rich and varied expert
ences the pupils have had.

Atlantic for a few hours yester-
day after their boat developed
engine trouble. A Coast Guard

panions that everyone was safe.
Then he climbed into his limou-
sine and began the trip back to
the capital in Raleigh.
In the Governors party were
State Senators Guitar Moore of
Robson County and Robert F.
Morgan of Cleveland County,
Carl F. Goersch, editor of The
State Magazine of Raleigh; a
highway patrol sergeant, and
