Page six THE BLACKBIRP, ]ROCKT MOUNT SENIOR BIGB SCHOOL Librarian Reveals Secret Yearnings Of Ideal Situation Secret yearnings of an ideal library situation dreamed by Miss Eleanor Pearsall, librarian, were discovered by this inquiring re porter as she poked into the mat ter. Foremost among Miss Pearsall’s dreams is to have a group of stu dents who would appreciate the books and magazine kept on file for the students benefit. Second in her dreams would be to have no study halls conducted in the library. Although there are many co-operative students, there are at least two-thirds of the stu dent body, that does nothing at all in a study hall but clown and disturb those who want to use the facilities. Therefore study halls as a whole are not profitable for the teachers in charge or the few students trying to study while a general commotion is going on. If there were not study halls (which is still a pleasant dream), it would be nice to remove all the taWes and add more bookcases for the extra books which could be added to the collection now on file. Last, certainly not least, it would really be an ideal library situa tion if all debts were paid and books never lost or taken from lockers, concluded Miss Pearsall. Oh, No! You ’re Joking! THURSDAY, JANUARY 23, 1958 Outstanding Seniors Achieve Scholastic and DAR Honors Outst^anding ^sentos Dan Kob-, become a finalist in the competi FortuneTelling,Eli? Attend Psych. Class Looking for an inexpensive for tune teller? Seeking advice? It’s Miss Louise Parker’s psy chology class, then that you’ll want to attend. Prom all reports these psjch students have become famous future viewers and do so at amazingly low prices. Putting all joking aside though, this re porter learned that the class has been studying about phonies and fakers better known as the for tune tellers of today. As an experiment every student wrote one fortune which could apply to any person in general. These papers were then distri buted among the students, each receiving a fortune foretold by someone else. Surprising how gen eral a topic can turn out to be! This project proves how “true” a fortune can be. The occupation of “fortune telling” is unlimited due to an easy generalizing of topics. Ever tried jpur hand at predicting the future? LUG THOSE BOOKS! — L to R, Jane Fountain, Mac Hines, Donna Ramey and Haywood Edmondson are demonstrating- a method ofi about-face. The boys luff those heavy book.s now while the girls exercise their role of the "weaker sex.” Photo by Killebrew Resolutions, 1958 Variety, Few Hint at Seriousness Listed here is a varied and choice collection of the most earn est resolutions made by twenty- five students for 1958.

Main Nancy Harlow — “I resolve to try to secure the position of-head ‘studetiTr" at Hex Hospital "where I plan to enter next fall.” Judy Hamilton — “I’ll try my dead level best to pass T. V. American history.” Bill House — “Heading my list of resolutions is to find a job.” Tommy Reese — “I’ll try harder to learn by basketball plays and keep Mr. Lundy’s nerves calm.” Tommy Hedgepeth — “I resolve to learn the techniques of bop.” Tony Floyd — “To learn to like people.” Linda Carole Kelley — “I resolve to learn to get along with certain people.” Jimmy Parker — “I’ll try not to give my teachers anymore trou ble.” Seems as if playing and relax ing those ten;se nerves led the list by many. Linda Gail Pridgen — “I’m trying to work hard so I can drop eight cylinders in my six clyinder Ply mouth.” Vickie Battle — “I promise to quit smoking and running my mouth so much.” Annette Perkinson — “I resolve to keep mouth shut.” Barbara Southerland — “I just want to party, party, party.” Jane Bradley — “I resolve to live another summer like last sum mer.” Honey Mclntire — “I’m going to get FAT!! Bill Dunn — “I've promised to cut down on my partying.” Sandy Dalton — “My resolution is to ^p passing on hills.” A group of romancers gave their most precious resolutions. Brenda Burnette — “To love Jac kie more and more.” Carol Wilson — “I promise not to fuss with Chips anymore than I have to.” Ray Bryant — “To become suc cessful with the women.” Booty ]\lay — “I resolve not to be insanely jealous anymore.” Joe Capel — “The doctor told me to give up one of my three vices — iwine, women, and song.” “I resolve to quit singing.” Adrian Turner — “Cut down on the money I’m spending on dates.” Sandra Melton — “I resolve that Bobby and I will keep our driver’s license throughout the new j«ar.” Seems letters also rank in the resolution list. Judy Boyd — “I promise to write Jeffrey at least three to four let ters a day.” Lou Bryan — “I promise to write more faithfully.” (To whom I wonder?) One person out of these twenty- five made a realistic and probably the truest resolution. Norman Davis — “I can’t keep them so I quit making them.” bins. Corky Ecklin and Crais Daughtridge have achieved honors in the fields of scholastic ability and leadership. Dan Robbins has been named a semifinalist in the National Merit Scholarship competition. He is listed among 7,500 hi§h scorers on the scholarship qualifying te.st, a nationwide college aptitude ex amination given in 14,000 high schools. Dan has also taken a col lege board examination; and if his score on this test comes up to his previous grade, he will then Committees Report Semester Activities so committee heads gave semes ter reports at the last regular meeting of the first semester in the general purpose room Wednes day, January 15. All chairman reported improve ments and satisfaction except Carolyn Yount, manager of the student store. Carolyn gave a report that she had bills amounting to $788. She has taken in only $250, therefore the store is in the red $538. It is easier to purchase sup plies at the school store instead of going all the way down town. The Student Organization and Carolyn urge all students to buy and help the store meet its quota. This would be a help not only to a SO project but also to the school and individual student. tion. -’orky Ecklin has taken a scho- loHrship tsst, tli6 Ofiorge IVI.
