Eye-Catching Board Welcomes Visitors In Miss Coley's 113 Sara Lee Cassell The themes “Welcome” and “Your Manners are Showing” combine to make the eye-catching bulletin board in Miss Faye Coley’s home room 113. The board suggests that the seventh graders are pulling out the welcome mat for sixth graders. Saucy faces oif freckled girls complete with eye glasses and buck teeth are SusanrtcFrost’s impres sions of sixth graders. She used ingenuity to create the girls’ faces. Perky faced, round-eyed boys with hair in assorted reds, oranges, blacks, and browns add to the sparkling color of the board. Russ Monroe drew impressions of the boys. In the center four illustrations of bad manners are depicted. The first shows a curly haired boy with his nose in the air, illustrating a “snob.” A boy doffing his hat to the girl on the elevator is found in the second picture. The girl in the third picture thinks the boy with whom she is ti-ying to shake hands is a real dunce. He won’t seem to ex tend his hand. The boy in the fourth goes under the classification of a “wolf.” Under the pictures are catchy captions written in poetry form. In the primary election Randy Bernard, Jeiff Masline, Nancy Perov lagged behind, leaving Ken Rhyne and Charles Bowers to battle it out for the presidency. For vice-president, Nancy Mc Mahon, Jean Norman, Dixie Chiles lost to the new vice-president, Ray Jennings, and his opponent, Liba Rodgers, during the primary. Sandra Horlick and Maxine Waldon were voted out of the primary for secretary, leaving Lucy Latimer, the victor, and Brenda West to go on to the final election. Allen, Latimer, Rogers Receive Nothing But A*s John Price : Vickie Allen, Lucy Latimer, and I;iba Rogers all received “all A’s” on report card grades this year. All three of these scholars are in the eighth grade. In spite of this, the seventh grade led the school over the year in the number of persons on the honor roll. Of course many of these students were on it more than once. The eighth grade was second and the ninth grade last. Out of 786 names on the honor roll, 479 were girls and 307 were boys. Vickie Allen is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. V. Allen of 1225 Carter Street. Her father is a fire man. When asked if she had any secrets for her method of study, she replied, “I just try to concentrate.” The next question was, “Do you listen to the radio or television while studying?” “No,” she answer ed, “I get too interested in it to do work.” Lucy Latimer, the second of the three, is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. C. T. Latimer. Their home is at 1108 Ferndale. Her father owns Latimer Institutional Pro ducts Company. Her secret of study' is, “I try to get everything else out of my mind while reading.” She says she does listen to the radio when she is doing her homework. Liba Rogers, whose parents are Doctor and Mrs. M. P. Rogers, lives at 1112 Wynnewood Avenue. She says she just studies in her room by herself and claims no particular formula for scholastic excellence. Four Teachers Not Returning To Ferndale Sandra Koonts Pour of Ferndale’s teachers have resigned for the next school year. They are Mrs. Shelby Hinshaw, Mrs. Helen Miller, Mrs. Laura Phillips, and Mrs. Beverly Shideler. Mrs. Hinshaw, who teaches mathematics, is giving up her teach ing to stay home with her three- year old daughter and “just to be a housewife.” Mrs. Helen Miller is leaving Ferndale to take up college life.

Mrs. Catherine Cecil, Ferndale’s secretary, is leaving her duties as secretary and is taking Mrs. Phil lips’ job of teaching typing. Home Be. Students Turn Barny Gym Into Flower Show Jennifer Carr Flowers, and more flowers were found stuck in jars, cans, glasses, vases, buckets, and pitchers as a result of plea from the home economics teachers for beauty for the spring dance. Friday morning brought gasping expressions to the faces of Miss Virginia Blount and Mrs. Lillian Kimrey when they viewed an enormous array of pansies, roses, iris, daisies, mums, spirea, azaleas, peonies and orange blossoms spilling over the kitchen sinks and tables. One complication was that ingredients for 10 gallons of punch had to be squeezed, brewed, and blended during first period class. After maneuvering for room in which to put the flowers in 119, 102 and the gym, the department began to fill the halls with a spicy, fruity aroma of their special brand of punch that would be so refresh ing to tired dancers. Five girls were selected to attend the dance and assist in serving. They were Ann Delgado, Joan Knight, Linda Kay Norman, Becky Perdue, and Janie Terrell. Thirty-eight girls made the gym into a garden with two large mass ed arrangements and ten bouquets, and aroused a festive feeling for the “musical festival” given for the eighth and ninth graders. The festival was filled from tunes and posies, to records and drums, but all united made Ferndale’s spring dance for ’62 a good memory.

QUalU letuye Barbara Stone Here we stand today On tiptoe at the threshold of space; The stars look down upon us With mocking eyes; Smugly they say, “Come, conquer us, little men. We’re waiting. Try to probe our secrets— We’ll not give them easily! With all your dreams. You’ll fall flat time and again.” We meet their gaze and shout, “Don’t count us out! Look how far we’ve come! While you twinkled there. We’ve conquered the earth! We’re coming — we’ll find your secrets: Don’t count us out!” Bulletin John Clinard was named by the orchestra as its outstanding mem ber. This information was received after Junior Pointer deadline. A Song For Fighting Trojans Margaret Brookbank Onward Trojans! Onward Trojans! On to victory! With our colors always flying, Victors we will he—Rah! Rah! Rah! Trojan men in battle fair, Since fighting day of old. Have proved the honored right to wear The Ferndale blue and gold. Ferndale’s new fight song, “Trojan Fight Song”, was composed by four students: Nancy Hayes and Susan Hedrick, seventh grade students of homeroom 4, and Susan Shivers and Tommy Rawleigh, both from the eighth grade, room 205. The song will be sung at school games to the tune of “On Wisconsin.” Another student, Clayton Monroe, of grade seven, room 113, designed the school’s seal, a fitting one for our athletic team, the Trojans. With a powerful fight song and an impressive seal, Femdale’s Trojans will go from game to game with the knowledge that the school spirit is brimming and the students are ready to burst into song, leading them on to victory.
