Panther Tales
By Chris Fox
There has not been much excitement around R.C.H.S. this week, however, there are a few things that may interest you. The party planned by the Eighth graders turned out to be very successful. There was music and refreshments for everyone. This is the first time the Eighth grade has sponsored a dance and we would like to congratulate them for their hard work! The Varsity and J.V. cheerleaders gave a party Friday night at the Trinity Episcopal Church in Washington in honor of our basketball players this year. This was just a small tribute to the determination that our boys put forth during this season!!
An assembly was held Tuesday by Fred Lowery, King of the Whistlers. He has appeared on many television shows with Ed Sullivan, Bob Hope, and Jackie Gleason. Many* of his records include “Indian Love Call,” and “The High and the Mighty.” His whistling was enjoyed by the students.
The Senior class has already started getting ready for the Senior play this year. They met last Thursday to go over one play but have not yet made any decisions on what play they intend to do. Knowing the great Senior class, whatever they decide on is sure to be a great one!
Library Receives Sevareid Books
The collection of books recenffy given to the Rappahannock Library by Eric Sevareid in memory of Lois Finger Sevareid consists of forty-eight volumes covering a wide variety of subjects. These books were reviewed by Mr. Sevareid and used as a background for his reporting and writing.
Mr. Sevareid was at one time city editor of the Paris edition of the New York Herald Tribune. At the outbreak of WW II, he joined the news staff of the Columbia Broadcasting System, with which he is still associated. In 1942 he was made head of CBS Washington News Bureau, and for the next four years he covered the war in China, India, Burma, Italy, France, and Germany, returning to Washington in 1946. In 1950 he won the Peabody Award for reporting. Though Sevareid calls his broadcasts “capsule commentaries on the American scene,” they are really witty, polished, perceptive essays.
Readers may find the books in the library under their proper classification.
