Service Club
Sets Goals
One of Rocky Mount
Senior High’s most active
clubs is the Service Club
advised by Mrs. Jacqueline
Heston. This is Mrs. Heston’s
first year as a club advisor,
and she, as well as all of the
members, is actively involved
in the club’s activities.
At the present time The
Homecoming Mini-Parade,
which will be held October 11,
is foremost on the club’s list of
activities. The Club is hoping
for much participation
throughout the school as each
homeroom and various other
groups show their creative
ability.
Perhaps the activity that
will be most beneficial to the
school is the upcoming candy
sales. The club is striving to
reach a goal of three hundred
dollars, which will enable
them to present three one
hundred dollar scholarships to
three deserving students at
the end of the school year. In
order for their goal to be
reached and for their plan to
succeed, the participation and
cooperation of every student
as well as that of the com
munity is a necessity.
During the football season
the Service Club meets every
Tuesday afternoon to make
{M-eparations for the programs
that are to be sold at the
football game the following
Friday night. When the
football season is concluded,
the club’s attention will be
focused on another event
therefore the meetings may
vary.

to get involved. Michael
hopes to serve the Student
Organization in planning
Assemblies. He is also a
member of the National Honor

Outside of school
Michael’s activities range
from teaching guitar to being
a licensed amateur radio
operator. He also spends a lot
of his time playing the guitar,
but somehow he still finds the
time to be president of the
Now Generation Singers.
Michael is also an Eagle Scout
and after high school, he plans
to become an electrical
engineer. Michael hopes to
attend Georgia Tech., which
he has visited along with
State.
Michael also attends the
Thursday Kiwanian lun
cheons. He will be able to
attend all Thursday meetings
during S^tember.
Poetry
THOUSAND MEMORIES
I’ve suffered no great lost
I’ve shared no great pain.
I’ve lived throughout the
sunny days
I can live through the rain.
I need you more than ever;
More than you could ever
know.
Taking time with our love
I’m sure it will grow.
You are a thousand memories
Flowing through my mind.
Remembering how wonderful
you are
And knowing also that you’re
very kind.
I shall envision you in my
dreams.
I shall love you until the end of
days.
I shall remember you forever
And love you in many dif
ferent ways.
