THE BLACKBIRD, ROCKY MOUNt HIGH SCHOOL
TUESDAY, April issi
Fortune Teller Gazes,
Sees Mystery Queen
Of Annual Jr.-Sr. Prom
“Did you go to the fortune tell
er to find out who is going to be
the Prom Queen?” a certain teach
er asked Tam Holliday. “No, but
I dreamed I did and this is what
she told me,” answered Tam.
Madam Za Za speaks:
“In my crystal ball I see a
beautiful room filled with laugh
ing boys and girls. It is the Ben-
venue Country Club and the date
is Friday, May 9,
Coronation Befint
Suddenly the master of cere
monies asks that the floor be
cleared in order to begin the cor
onation of the Prom queen.
I see two little girls slowly walk
down the path to the glittering
throne, strewing fragrant flowers
on the path. These attractive
young Misses are Jane Carolyn
Walker and Frances Gail Beilis.
They are dressed in pastel-colored
(evening dresses and indeed look
very grown jjp.
Now, what’s this I see? A young
pian in a tUK and top hat and he
}s carefully carrying a pillow upon
which lests a beautiful crown. His
name is Page Keel. I understand
it ijs the custom for the Blackbird
(Staff to choose these children to
participate in the program each
year.
Behind Page slowly comes the
dim figure of a beautiful girl. I
cannot make out the face as my
jnagic powers have begun to fadp
und I must stop.”
Dre^m Reveaiteii
The next day Tam told the class
of her dream. She said that she
had tried and tried to make out
the identity of this mysterious
queen, but it was to no avail as
the figure was too dim.
Which one of the eight senior
beauty contestants is the myster
ious queen? ? ? ? ? ?

Around the Campus

BARBARA and BOBBITT
Well, here it is the last of April
with just six more weeks of school!
Can you believe it? For us seniors
it’s not only summer vacation but
graduation! Can’t wait to get my
hand on that bee-yoo-ti-ful dip
loma.
Looks like spring has really
sprung. Most of the girls have
tossed aside their sweaters and
skirts for cotton frocks and are
experimenting with summer hair
styles. The boys have donned their
bright, but cool T-shirts.
Sun Tant Popular
Getting a sun tan has become
the fad too. One of the best places
for attaining a golden brown or
pink hue is the golf course. Isn’t
that right, “Wire” Bandy, “Tilt”
Lee, Roger Andrews, and “Tart”
Rose? Another fine place is the
rock quarry. Boy, what large
crowds are there particularly on
Sunday afternoons! It resembles
the beach on July 4th.
Lots of people are already head
ing for the beaches too. Tam Holli
day and Bernard Taylor spent a
week-end at Atlantic beach not
long ago. Bobbitt Clay, M. L.
Frederick, Joyce McNeely, Lester
Croom, Tommy Slater, Barbara
LeCroy, Hubert Slater and Peggy
Strickland spent the weekend at
Pamlico recently.
Sounds as if the crowd who went
to Chapel Hill had a simply super
time. Kitty Friar, Kay Finch,
Nancy Adams, Julia Jordan, Jean
Cooper and all the other girls ^ho

went were enthusiastic about the
people there. (Especially the male
population!) Wonder if the boys
had a good a time as the girls?
RMHS was well represented with
our two plays. Congratulations to
the casts of both plays, the behind-

Sr. Play Soon
Rehearsals have begun for the
senior play, “A Day In June” to
be presented May 16.
Becky Griffin attended a dance
at State College not long ago. Bet
she looked pretty in her new orchid
dress. It’s really a dream.
Well, looks like I’ve used up just
about all the space so I’ll have to
say, Au revoir!
