and clusters of pink chrysanthe-
NUNS completed the decorations.

played the prelude music which
included Because" II Love Thee"

Herm, soloist, sang Through The
Years" prior to the ceremony and
THE Wedding Prayer" followed

The bride was lovely in her
wedding gown of ice blue chantilly
lace and misty pure silk organza
posed over matching taffeta. The
Sculptured lace bodice was fash
Toned with a flattering scalloped
sabrina neckline and slender elbow
sleeves. The very graceful skirt,
with wide hem, drifted softly over
net crinolines. Tiny blue satin
leaves, touched lightly with pearls,
formed a miniature tiara from
which fell a short veil of matching
illusion. She carried a cascade bou-
quet of stephanotis and lilies of the
valley centered with white purple
throated cattleya orchid and cas-
cades of ribbon caught with lovers
knots, stephanotis and fleurs d.
amour.
The brides only attendant was
her sister, Mrs. Sue Bryan of Bel
zoni, who wore a waltz-length dress
of soft blush pink in pure organza
and lace. Designed with a fitted
bodice, the chantilly lace formed
the delicately scalloped neckline
and tiny sleeves. A softly crushed
cumberland of matching satin ac-
cented the tiny trim waistline and
gave a frosted topping to the grace
full flare of the skirt. Her flowers
were a nosegay of pink feathered
carnations conferred with a pink Or
child. Serving Mr.. Strowd as best
man was his brother, John Earl
Strowd. Ushers were Samuel E.
Mcclellan and Bert Usry.
The mother of the bride, Mrs.
Carl Taylor, selected a mauve lace
original with matching headdress
OF rose petals. Her corsage was a
purple orchid.
Following the ceremony, the par
ents of the bride entertained with
a reception in the church parlor.
The brides table, overlaid with an
imported cloth of pale pink, held
the triple-tiered wedding cake
which was thanked with pink tapers
in silver candelabra, lilies of the
valley and wedding bells. At each
corner of the table were garlands of
fern caught with pink carnations,
pink tulle and nosegays of lilies
OF the valley. Mrs. Jack Harris
greeted the guests as they entered
the reception room and presented
them to the receiving line. The
cake was cut and served by Miss
Melba Graham and Miss Grace
Graham. Punch, pink sandwiches
and minis were served from a
beautifully appointed table e
tered with a six branched floral
candelabra. Tea girls were Mrs.
Douglas Luckey, Mrs. Leon Lewis,
Jr., Mrs. w. T. Swales, Miss Kath-
crime Beatty and Miss Donna
Rena Strowd. Mrs. H. S. Fairchild
presided over the register.
For her wedding trip the bride
hose a bone silk millea cupaioli
suit with matching bone kid access
series. Her hat was a Jan Leslie

SCHOOLROOM TERRARIUM

At the first of the year, grade
GA went on field trip. We gath
cred rocks, sand, charcoal, dirt
moss and small plants and put
them in a glass box to make a
terrarium. We put in a bowl of
water that looked like a pool.
Jan brought a baby turtle and
put in the terrarium.' He crawled
in the bowl of water. We start
ed to feed him the next day and
we couldn't find him. We thought
he had been stolen. Three days
later, we saw him come out of
the dirt.
After awhile we gave the tur-
tie back to Jan and Tinkie
brought some. tadpoles. We
watched them for several days.
One turned to a frog. We don't
know what happened to the 9TH
ers.
Elton and Carroll brought some
frogs. They liked to eat the in
sects we caught for them at re-
cess. There were too many frogs
and they tore up the plants and
gave them oxygen.
We learned that We have to
have a balance of plants and ami
mails. Plants give oxygen that
animals use. Animals give carbon
dioxide that plants use. Herman
brought a book that tells about it.
We are going to put in some
new plants. We will keep one
frog. We hope to active a balance
of nature in our terrarium.-Bob

Jordan, Dianne Spruill, and Velez

CHAPEL PROGRAMS OF
VALUE ARE DEVELOPED

The faculty of Manteo High
School are attempting to develop
weekly chapel programs that will
not only provide the student with
public speaking experience, but
will supplement and complement
the training and knowledge they
receive in the classroom.
1t has been planned that each
homeroom will have several oppor-
tunities throughout the year to
conduct devotional programs. In
terspersed between these will be
individual classroom presentations
that have developed out of expert
ences in the subject matter areas.
Others will be devoted to the prac-
teal application of the subjects
of the high school curriculum to
everyday living and vocational Sc
lection. Modern color films have
already been booked for some of
these programs. A few of the
areas to be presented are: the de-
velopment and production of a
magazine; how humans commune
cate with and transmit ideas to
each other; the development and
control of habit formation; con-
servation of forests; and traffic
safety.
As an integral part of each of
these programs, efforts will be
made to help each student to de-
velop desirable habits of behavior
at such public functions.
If time and energy permit, the
faculty also plan to contact and
enlist the aid of some of the Dare
County citizens in presenting pro-
grams on the personal qualities
and training needed to be success
full in various occupations and
professions with which each of
them is familiar.

Fifth and Sixth Grades
The Fifth and Sixth Grades have
been studying about caterpillars
bats, praying mantis and hog
nosed snake. We have learned that
a caterpillar will turn into a but
terfly or moth, why some bats
are harmful, why the praying man
tbs holds its front legs like it does
and that a hog nosed snake is harm
less. Mary Nettus, Reporter
Seventh And Eighth Grades
The Seventh and Eighth Grades
have been doing experiments to
help us understand science better
We have also been bringing plants
to decorate our room land to watch
how the plants grow.
Every week, certain students are
appointed to take care of the bull
letin board. This week our subject
is government and we have articles
about the Senate and the HOUSE
of Representatives posted on the
board.

Circus Parade in 4th Grade

For the month of October the
fourth grade had a circus parade
as their unit of work. Each child
painted an IS by "a inch picture of
circus. The pictures were put up
an animal usually found in real

long line of wild animals paraded
across the bulletin board. Funny
clowns were made from colored con-
struction paper.
Circus stories were read and dis
cussed in class. Some animals
stories were also read. The class
compared pictures of wild animals
in their books with the ones they
had painted in art class.
Stories were written about the
pictures and circus parade. The

STAFF MEMBERS CHOSEN
FOR HATTERAS YEARBOOK

The Senior class of Cape Hat

Claudine Williams, Editor-in-chief;

nesses in September, and have al
so made solicitations in Dare
County and Elizabeth City.
The layout-artist came down
from Winston-Salem and helped
make tentative plans for the year
book. With his help we should have
an unusually attractive annual this
year. We have also had all of our

Third Grade

This week the third grade in Hat
teras School has been doing a
science experiment to prove that
air is everywhere even in an other
wise empty bottle. By placing a
balloon over the neck of bottle,
then placing the bottle in a pan OF
boiling water we learn that as the
air in the bottle heats, it rises and
fills the balloon. This proves that
warm air is lighter than cold air
and that warm ar.i rises to the cell
ing as cold air comes in. We are
making science books. This ex-
pertinent is being placed in oul
books.

Seventh Grade

In our health we are studying
problems that often trouble twelve
and thirteen year ODDS. We found
each of us had problems. Many of
us were worried about the same
things and found that most boys
and girls our age worry about
similar problems.
We learned that many problems
we can do something about and
many that we can't. Heredity and
environment go hand in hand in
determining growth factors and
patterns.
The object of this years health is
to help us solve our problems, help
keep US safe, healthy and happy
while we are growing up.
