Morehead Planetarium in Chapel Hill will be the main
item on the schedule for the Future Teachers of America tour
on March 24, announced Miss Mary Mclnnis, sponsor of the
group.
The group plans to travel to Chapel Hill by bus to see the
Easter show at the Planetarium, after which the FTA
members will take a tour of the campus.
“We are hoping to have some
former High Point High Bchool
students as guides,” stated Miss
Mclnnis. “We are taking one bus.
Thirty-six FTA members and two
chaperones are going.”
“I believe the trip will help the
students in their present work in
high school as well as giving them
valuable experience as Future
Teachers of America,” Miss Mc
lnnis added.
The dome-shaped building
contains one of the six Zeiss Plane-
tariums in the Western Hemisphere
The Planetarium building also
houses exhibits in astronomy and
allied sciences. Art exhibits are
displayed in the galleries in the
Memorial Rotunda.
A large orrery, or mechanical
planetarium, one of the two of its
type in the world, shows the
planets revolving around the sun,
while moons revolve around the
planets. The planets themselves
rotate on an axis.
Wolf Whistles, Questions Greet
Visiting Duke Student Teachers
Congress Approves Hawaii Fiftieth State
By Ann
Three brunette beauties saw
High Point High for the first
time March 2 amid the wolf
whistles and curious questions of
a busload of late arrivers. Judy
McFaddin, Joan Short, and Alice
Sprunt, seniors at Duke Univer
sity will be practice teachers here
from April 6-May 29.
‘ll’ve always said that boys were
my hobby, but now I’m engaged,”
confided Miss Judy McFaddin to
this Pointer reporter on her recent
visit. She plans to be married in
July.
Having lived in Holland and
South America before moving to
the United States, Miss McFaddin
speaks Dutch, Spanish, English,
and her chosen subject, French.
3 Place On Exam
David Brooks, David R. Wil
liams' and Martha Ridge have beem
named winners of the NationaT:
Mathematics Association and
Board of Actuaries yearly contest
exam.
In regard to the exam, Mrs.
Florence Shaw said, “In some
respects students did better this
year, and in some respects they
fell behind.”
David Brooks, first place win
ner and vice-president of the
National Honor Society, will re
ceive a pin signifying his achieve
ment.
Cummings
She hopes to combine in teaching,
the French language and the
French culture.
Miss Joan Short, an English
major, is from Star, N. C., “right
near here.” When asked how she'
liked High Point High, she flashed
a Avarm smile and said, “There
seems to be an atmosphere of
learning in the classrooms'.” .
Holding out her foot she re
vealed a bright red shoe to match
a red scarf and mused, “I like red
shoes and lots of dangling
bracelets.”
Miss Short is engaged to a
maidne, and after their marriage^
in July the couple will move to a
California naval base. High school,
standards and pay there are an-
incidental asset. ‘
In a lilting voice Miss Alice
Sprunt, a music major, exclaimed, j
“I was amazed at the wonderful;
sound of your school choirs.” :
From Memphis, Tennessee, Miss
Sprunt sings alto, plays piano and
organ, “and I love to swim.”
She aspires to “teach others to
love and appreciate music” as she
does.
“Welcome Hawaii” was the
friendly phrase of last Friday as
Congress gave final approval to
the bill for Hawaiian s'tatehood.
/ Local Club Sponsors
Citizenship Essays
n i 0 r s submitted
essays for the Civitan Club’s an
nual national citizenship essay
contest on the subject “Citizen
ship ■—■ a Process of Gradual
Achievement.”
English teachers will submit
essays to the local club, which
will select a winning essay to
compete in district competition.
The winning essay in the district
will then be sent to the inter
national contest.
All district and international
prizes will be given in the form
of scholarships. The local Civitan
Club will make awards totaling
§50 to local winners.
Factors to be considered in
judging are spelling, punctuation,
capitalization and paragraph
structure. However, originality of
thought and expression will weigh
more heavily than the mechanics
of composition.
“This ‘Aloha’ of the ballots was
it, so far as' Congress was con
cerned—a ringing answer to Ha
waii’s half century of pleas and
dreams for a place in the union,”
said the Greensboro Daily News.
As in the case of Alaska last
year, technicalities take time, so
it may be late July or possibly
October, before Hawaii officially
becomes a state.
No islands on the globe com
mand so great a circle of ocean as
does the Hawaiin group.
Their strategic location was
dramatically affirmed on the his
toric morning of the attack on
Pearl Harbor Naval Base near
. Honolulu. Later the islands be-
’ came the great transmission center
through which American men and
supplies poured out to the battle
fronts'.

Chatter
By Jimmie Hart
Brains and beauty begin at the
top of the head. To put life and
shine in hair, try one hundred
licks a night with a good stiff
hairbrush. A thorough massage
every week works wonders.
In the case of extremely oily
hair cover a hairbrush with a
clean _ old nylon stocking before
brushing. The hose will absorb
the excess oil.
The time to experiment with
hair styles is during a shampoo.
While the suds are thick, try a
little soap sculpture, pushing
locks' here and there to see how
some of the new styles might
look. Wash hair at least once every
five days.
Where there’s no time for
a shampoo, set hair with
cologne. Because it dries rapidly,
it’s a good last-minute refresher
and also a fast curler.
If a permanent is needed, get
it now. Beauty shop prices range
from five to 26 dollars, winie
home permanent prices run
around $2.00. Get that profes
sional haircut now, too—a good
§1.25 one.
Girls with fair hair should avoid
styles that are fluffy and fussy.
To fashion experts blonde hair is
like a neon sign. “Too many curls
means too many kilowatts.
Everybody’s wearing headache
bands' with everything this year.
Everyday pageboys can be dressed
up for a party easily with a silk
or velvet bow to match the outfit.
For a really gala party why not
try a rhinestone coronet?
