Fry Take It Easy, Boys “Look out! Here they come.” This has become the byword of the Safety Patrol ^oup. Every afternoon there is a mad rush to see who will get first. They flock down to the intersection to get out first, and if they have to wait, horns start blowing and people yelling. But the Safety Patrol group just tak^ it in their stride, because they know that without them, the students wouldn t be able to leave so fast. We will have to admit that the patrol group has done a wonderful job at controlling the mad rush to leave after school this year. —WAYNE HONEYCUTT. The TV Hour Sometime between evening’s parting shadows and early niorn- ing’s hours, there comes a period known to man as the late show. This is one of man’s strangest habits, this watching the late show, and indeed it requires a strange and hardy breed to participate ^This new division of man, a by-product of the television era, originated in the late 1940’s and is referred to scientifically as “watchus teveus”. To become a late show watcher, one must possess a few basic qualities. First and foremost is the ability to stay awake throughout the entire program. Indeed one of the cardinal sins of a late show watcher is to fall asieen during the show. If a newcomer is handicapped by this, he should stick to his early evening westerns and go to bed early, for it- will never do to embarrass the stars of the silver screen by sleeping during their performances. If you’ve passed this principal requirement, you have con quered the biggest obstacle before you. Ahead lies the unlimited world of late shows. A wide variety will be opened to you. Imagine your surprise when you see Elizabeth Taylor in P’gtails, your horror as Boris Karloff or Edward G. Robinson dis- plays his gfhoursh talents, your delight as Laurel and Hardy waddle across the screen. . There is still one main problem that continues to plague and annoy the successful late show watcher, a problem for which there is no conceivable solution. It is, mainly, how the heck do you get up the- next morning? SNOTHEELY. What Price Glory? You get out of life what you put into it, right? Well, that being true, what is the real purposfe of school? Is it just a building where one may ?e-ure knowledge? Is it ji’s^ a place where one has to po? Or is it an institution set up to mold the youth of America? , . ^ Upcoming student elections brought about this topic. Lets see, shall we call it “Student Interest?” You get out of school only what you put into it. To begin with, ASKS is noted for ^ts friendly atmosphere and its ability to do all things well. There has been a growing ten dency for students not to show any interest in school activities. Of course there are always that faithful few that take part in everything. Is this the way it should be? If the public schools have been set up to be a sort of proving ground for tomorrow’s leaders, then the majority of students should take part in all phases of school. One of the main functions of school that should be backec wholeheartedly is the Student Government. Students electing to day’s school officers will be citizens electing tomorrow’s leaders of the greatest democracy in the world. It is every student’s respon sibility to take a personal interest in these elections. . “Student Interest” should not stop there but should be carried out through all functions of the school. After all, schools are set up to produce well-adjusted individuals. The well-rounded student will make the well-rounded citizen. The purpose of school, then, is to turn out people possessing knowledge, char acter, and, more important than these, people with the ability to reason for themselves and to get along with their fellowman — BILL BURBAGE.

The theme, “April in Paris” was beautiful and made our last prom the hightlight of our Senior year. All in all, it was the second best prom ever. , Speaking of the prom, the school should be proud of the gooo attendance. It seems almost everyone in the school was there. There was something a little strange going on, but we were only able find out that two of the cheerleaders were cheering for the same boy. But instead of cheering the boy for playing football they were playing football themselves — with an orchid. Looks like the receiver missed the pass. Many beautiful gowns were displayed at the prom. Betsy Hol brook looked like a princess in her yellow dress and fashionable hair style. As Sneak and I looked around we wondered who had brought a princess doll instead of a real live girl, but it turned out to be Darlene Crowell with her hair flowing to her shoulders. We heard rumors that Pam Sells wore a dress out of this world but no one had a chance to see it. Pam, we’re sorry your Senior prom turned out to be such a flop. We can’t fail to mention how nice the boys looked in their white dinner jackets. It’s a real treat for the girls to see you in your finery. There were several beach parties after the prom. One group in particular would like to thank Mrs. Morgan, Mrs. Burbage, Mrs- Hearne, and Mrs. Wilson for going along. Robert, what happened to you. Bo, Kent, and Bob? Couldn’t you find anyone to keep you company? We hope Jeff, Steve and Billy enjoyed their swim. After the prom Brenda Furr and Bob Richards each had a party- so we hear. Most of the couples went from party to party. Those we saw having an especially good time were Bobbie Atkins and Bill Sweet, Nancy Langley and James Lisk, Frances Sides and Tommy Morgan, Sylvia Wall and Danny Davis, Inger Blomfelt and Fred Stokes, Jean Efird and Roy Wilson, and even a few of the College students were around for the occasion. It seems that Louise Furr was planning on teaching everybody “the twist” but Marie Snuggs) had learned a little faster and took the stage away from Louise. . Speaking of a stage, we heard by the grapevirie that some oj the night practices for the Senior play have been a lot of fun. What have you got to say about that, Judy Chandler, Florence Morton- Steve Surratt, and Ann Bell? Congratulations to the Juniors who were tapped into National Honor Society. We hear that it was really a surprise to Edward Lowder. “Will you sign my annual?” was a phrase used over and over the week that the CROSSROADS finally arrived. From what we have heard, everyone likes this year’s annual. We now thanK Susan Ausband, editor, and all the many people who worked on th^ different staffs for a yearbook to be proud of. Some of the Senior boys have the pleasures of going to tw^ proms this year. Maybe we had better asked Don, Bo, Tony, Walked Bob McCommons how the Badin prom turned out. We’re only kidding, boys. A few of the other students who were invited td the two proms were Linda Haynes and Robert Iddings. We under stand that Robert had a blast in Mt. Airy, but Linda had more fun climbing mountains than dancing. Oh, we musn’t forget that Brenda Smith went to a big dance at Myers Park. Her date waS a Wildacres boy. Before we leave we want to tell everybody about some of the new couples we’ve seen around school. There’s Lane Lowder and June Whitley, Bryan Fox and Barbara Doby, Roy and Jean, Flor ence and Bob, and Mike and Judy, Some of those who have managed to stay together are Lydia Hearne and Craig Morgan- Betsy Holbrook and Jeff Underwood, Susie Napier and Eddie- Olivia Hartsell and Tommy Ward, Judy Underwood aM Johnny Furr, and Ricky Furr and Jimmy Barbee. Even thou,^h som^ couples have broken up, Pam Sells, Rowena Kluttz, Frances Sides- and Vivian Smith aren’t sitting at home. That’s about all the gossip we have this month — so long- everybody.
