ACCOMPLISHMENTS OF THE
Scott branch hi school
for the 1938-39 term
This week marks the end of the
scholastic year. Before we close
we must think of the accomplishments
that have been made during
the year.
Because of the large attendance
at the school for the past years
twcf teachers have been added to
the faculty. After the two teachers
were added another grade
which made the school- Scott
Branch High school.
The teachers of Scott RrnncVi I
High school have worked hard;
they are thinking in, the wee hours
of the night for young men and
women. Over $450.00 has been
raised this year. Accomplishments
are not made by standing
still and not thinking. They are
the rewards of hard work. Every
hardship that was encountered
during the work spured the tea-~
1 chers on to greater effort and
fired them with a firmer determination
to conquer anything and
everything that laid before -them.1
! Just think a Homo Economics
Department has been added and
the girls are really working. II1
makes the boys jealous. |
As we go on thinking lights I
Jhave been put into the school. Ev-j

Florence Warwick

At Spelman College
b'riday Evenings ~
Florence Warwick, instructor of
the dance at Spelman College,
makes her debut as a concert
dancer when she appears in her
first solo dance recital on May 5
in Howe Memorial Hall.
A recent graduate- of Spelman
College, Miss Warwick is well J
known to many patrons of the Uni
versity Players and the Summer'
Theatre. She acted important roles;
rn "Candida" and "Sun Up", and
choregraphed dances for several of
the important productions of the
University Players. One of her
finest accomplishments was thej
"Pance of Death" composed for
Sophocles' Greek tragedy "Antigone".
M is.s Warwick's training for the
dance has been broad and varied.'
During the summer of 1931 ? she'
studied at the Pavley-Oukrainsky j
School of Ballet jn Chicago, and in
the fall of the same year she was
enrolled m the New York Branch
studio of the German dancer,
Mary Wigman, under the direct(
supervision of IlanyaHolm. For_
the past four summers Miss War-'
wick has studied at the Benning-j
ton School of the Dance in Vermont,
the most notable ^school of
the dance in America. Here she j
had the benefit of such instructors
as Martha Graham, Doris Humph
rey, Louis Horest, and Charles
Weidman, whose methods are considered
the chief influence in the
modern dance in this country.
Two years ago Miss Warwick j
participated in a Workshop prodncrton
ut * tkrrmingtorr akmg -with
32 other dancers under the direct-!
ion of Hanya Holm. With this'
group she experienced professional
standards nf ili n iplinp p^v-l
formance. When the dance 'Trond' j
a work of symphonic proportions
was perfomed at the?Bennington!
Festival, it was immediately
recognized to be one of the epoch-]
making dances in the history of
the modern dance in America.
In 1938 Mi-ss Warwick returned!
to Bennington in the capacity of1
choreographer. This time she was|
allowed an indepent schedule and;
given a studio, accompanist, and
students for the composition of
her own dances. From time to time
(lances her own creation have been
chosen for student demonstration
at Bennington.
Florence Warwick brings to the
dance a keen appreciation and
deep understanding of the field of
art in general. At the present time
she conducts classes in dance
technique at Spclman College, and
giving lectures and?deinunstia
dions in the history and criticism
of the dance.
"erytime something new was 'thot

is worth living at all success is
worth working for, even when the
Work is over we are tired but victorious.
We are ncrt satisfied. The
obstacles in our path look very
difficult to overcome, but if we
