Open House of Education Week
Fills Auditorium to Capacity

Smiling- faces of parents and teachers occupied the halls
Oi Kigii ruijit -Janie.-■ High Schco’ op Novornber 7 at the an
nual open house celebrating American Education week. The
seats of the auditorium filling to its capacity, marked the
success of the affair. Girls in evening dresses greeted the
visitor.®.
The devotions echoed by the seventh graders and led by Jimmy
Reddick filled the auditorium with solemnity. The program, directed by
Mrs. Brown, presented a picture of the school days of yesteryear and
today. Boys and girls dressed in clothes of by-gone years depicted the
school of yesteryear. Then in modern dress they portrayed the school
of today. The two pantomines showed the likenesses of the actions and
flirtations of the pupils and the differences in the methods of teaching.

gourmet’s delight. 22 quarts of
ginger ale went into the making
of the 26 gallons of punch consum
ed. 3,000 cookies went away in a
flourish.
Students spent long hours in
beautifying the building. It paid
dividends in the pleased express

and friends as they left the second
home of the Junior High students.
Mary Womack
This is all a bad dream.
An impossible scheme,
ril just stay in bed
And pretend I’m dead.
I’ve a hole in my head,
My mind’s going fast
This cannot last.
It seems it’s my fate
To remember things late.
The TV last night,
Is the villain all right!
I simply can’t win.
Watching TV’s no sin.
But tvhen home work’s for
gotten
{uh - tvhat rhymes with for
gotten?)
Well, anyivay, I couldn’t
help it.
Mrs. Julia McDaniel
Gets Silver Gift
From Cheerleaders
Nancy Cu'ler
Cheerleaders not only sur
prised but thrilled Mrs. Julia
McDaniel, girls’ physical edu
cation director, when they
presented her w'th a silver
bon-bon dish du ing the last
week of October
Mrs. Mcn/anie, i,as icsignud af
ter teaching here for the past two
years. She can be found now in
the role of full-time housekeeper
at 2410 Dallas Street.
Physical education classes were
far from all that Mrs. McDaniel
directed. Every Monday afternoon
she supervised meetings of the G.
A. A. Then there were the many
hours of training cheer leaders.
As Nancy Boone, head cheer leader-
said, “Mrs. McDaniel has meant
a great deal to us. Always kind,
she was willing to help on what
ever project she was needed. We
shall miss her.”
Mrs. McDaniel’s work is being
handled during the first semester
by two teachers. Mrs. Jack Rives,
former physical education teacher
here, takes the morning classes.
Miss Bobby Turner, practice tea
cher from High Point College has
the afternoon classes.
Class Projects Cover Drapes, Cakes, Cigarettes
New Clothes
The home economics department
dressed up for Open House. Its
new wardrobe consisted of drapes,
tablecloths, bed-spread and dress
ing table skirt.
A feminine mixture of pink,
purple, white and green with small
faces was used for the material
in the new drapes. Dark green was
used for the table cloth and purple
w'as used for the bed’s dust ruffle.
Results show the planning of
Miss Virginia Blount, Mrs. Roberta
Widman and Miss Iris Kiger, home
economics teachers. Even the stu
dent teacher from High Point Col
lege, Miss Coleen Cook, came in
handy with her needle and thread.
Miss Blounts second and third
period classes did the basting and
pressing-.
Well, Anyway!
The three home economics tea
chers requested new drapes last
spring and they say they are very
proud of them.
As the subject of cakes was being
discussed in the Mr. Nicholson’s
ninth grade science class, Mr.
Nicholson said that if, while bak
ing a cake you jarred the stove,
the cake would not fall as most
people believed it would.
Amelia Hines disagreed and said
that it would fall. Eager to prove
herself right, Amelia said she
would bake two cakes and jar the
stove while she was cooking. She
did this. Sure enough, and the one
she was cooking when she jarred
the stove fell.
Mr. Nicholson’s reaction? ....
“Flat cakes don’t taste so bad af
ter all.”
The Old and New
Mrs. Hester’s history classes 104
and 108 went from the old to the
new when they visited Winston-
Salem for a whole afternoon re
cently.
First they saw the old houses
and shops of historical Salem, set-
teled in 1735 by the Moravians.
Among things they saw was the
home of John Volgler, silversmith
and clockmaker. This house looks
almost as it did more than 200
years ago. The group also saw
other buildings around -Salem
Square and the Tavern, which is
being restored.
For contrast they then visited
the R. J. Reynolds Tobae'eo Com
pany which was making cigarettes
your dad may be smoking next
month.
no Plans Christmas Program;
Sceno-Felts to Be Presented
Richard Hayes
On December 14 the Christmas Story will be presented
during the sixth and seventh periods by Miss Marion Stanton’s
seventh grade room 110. The eighth grade chorus and a string
ensemble from the advanced orchestra will provide a musical
background for the program.
A process known as Sceno-Felts will make up the six scenes to be
presented. Sceno-Felts consists of oil paintings mounted on wool felt.
The paintings are pieced together to make a complete scene and no one
part of the scene is stationary.
Three Sceno-Felts easels, which
provide a back drop for the scenes,
will be placed across the stage.
The first of the six scenes is the
“Annunciation.” This scene will be
followed by the “Visit of the
Angels to the Shepards.” The next
scene is the nativity scene; whch
will remain to be shown for the
continuing part of the program.
The scenes that follow are; “The
Shepherds Worship the Babe.” “The
Wise Men Follow the Star;” and
“The Wise Men Worship the Babe.”
A spotlight will add to the vitality
of the scenes.
McIntyre, Librarian
An nounces Book
About Mark Twain
Vickie Harbin
“Everyone’s been asking for
books written about and by Mark
Twain,” said Miss Margaret -Mc
Intyre, librarian. Then she pointed
out a new book for Mark Twain
fans. It is entitled “With -Mark
Twain on the Great River”, by Phil
Strong.
This book will be placed on the
shelf shortly and Miss McIntyre
recommends it highly. It is a won
derful fictional story of a cub
pilot under the masterful instruct
ion of Samuel Clemmons better
known as Mark Twain. The reader
will share Bab’s many thrills and
disappointments as he experiences
daring adventures in becoming- a
river pilot.
The program will close with a
five pointed star centered in the
midst of the stage surroundings.
On each one of the pointed sections
of the star, Christ will be shown
as Wonderful Councilor, Mighty
God, Everlasting Father, Prince of
Peace.
While the scenes are being
shown, the narrator, Carol Kearns
of 110, will read the Scripture.
First Six Weeks Honor Roll
Lists 156 Names; 10 All A’s
When report cards went out for the first six weeks’ period 156
students met the requirements for the Junior High honor roll. These
requirements are: B or above on all subjects (B-’s won’t do) no conduct
slips, A on conduct, and no unexcused absences or tardies. If ninth
grade honor list seems short, the reason is that there are only four-
ninth grade rooms in Junior High this year.
The list of all A’s comes to only 10.
Mrs. Elizabeth Beamon, eighth grade teacher of 209, is the honor-
roll keeper. She places the yellow blank forms in teachers mailboxes
a day or two before report cards go out and teachers are asked to fill
out the blanks and send them directly to Mrs. Beamon on the same day
that report cards are issued. The grade students are in should always
be placed on the blanks. Also spelling- of students’ names should be
checked.
