MR. KIMZ
SPEAKS
Mr. Robert Kimzey, high school princi
pal, urges all high school seniors to write
for applications to colleges and have these
completed and sent in as soon as possible.
Even though the student plans to come here
next year, he should apply to at least one
other college and possibly two or three others
as a practical insurance procedure. As Mr.
Kimzey stated in assembly, he will be glad to
advise students in choosing colleges. He will
also aid in preparing recommendations and will
provide academic transcript? of grades. Any
njw students having difficulties should see
Mr. Kimzey since the school does not have a
guidance counselor. Mr. Kimzey is very pleased
t lat many new students have come to him already;
aid, of course, he urges second year students
f) feel free to talk to him if they have any
p .'ob 1 ems.
HIGH SCHOOL AIMS
'OR ACCREDITATION
jf High school teachers at NCSA are undergoing
a»‘self-evaluation study for accreditation by
tbe State of North Carolina. After one year
o:: operation, any high school is eligible for
sijate accreditation. The Southern Association
o^c Schools and Qolleges requires a high school
to be in operation for two years before accre
ditation is possible. Mr. Kimzey ha§ announced
tllat the high school will begin the self-study
afid visitation for the Southern Association
n('ixt fall.
Since the Southern Association requires a
c()llege to be in operation for four years be
fore accreditation, the NCSA College will not
bo accredited for three more years.
Morning, morning; bright and cheery.
How I love to start the day I
I wonder who will be the best
In Duncan Noble's class today?
Oh, there he stands in tights before
us,
Saying silly words in French*
Ai>d here he comes to grab my buttocks,
To let the class know I don't pinch!
Little does he know THIS morning
What a treat he has in store.
If our plan has gone on schedule.
The dog will come in through the door.
Don't misjudge him, Unkie Dunkie,
Though he has some unfed features,
We've been training him for months,
To feed on smiling ballet teachers.

WADE LEADS MOUNTAIN RESCUE MISSION
Last Sunday, near TRAGEDY struck a group of students from NCSA when the transmission in
the car they were driving failed, leaving them stranded a few miles east of Blowing Rock,

d;|enched mountains, the FRANTIC party, consisting of Bruce Stuart, David Wood, Bob Vodnoy,
L^'land Schwantes, Margie Philpot, Emilie Adams, and Joann Weinstein made their way to the
c6zy Ranch Motel. Thinking ONLY of their school, they tried in vain to reach the dorm
sr.aff by telephone. Discovering the circuits were busy, they RESIGNED themselves to the
Ul’TIMELY fate of having to spend the night in the motel lobby, lit only by a large fire-
p/ace. The manager kindly consented to let them spend the night there; so, in order to
cj^lm their FRAZZLED nerves, they took the cushions from the lobby furniture and stretc^ied
ovlt in front of the COMFORTING blaze.
The hours passed! It was 11:30, when suddenly, the door crashed open and in leaped
