Principals by Susan Peurifoy and Lynn Wood A meeting of the National Associ ation of Secondary School Principals was the purpose of a trip to Miami, Florida by Mr. Gaither Frye, principal of P’erndale Junior High School and Dr. Raleigh Dingman, principal of Northeast Junior High School. At this meeting Mr. Frye and Dr. Dingman heard talks by eminent figures in the field of education from over the nation. One such speaker was the executive secretary of the National Association of Secondary School Prin cipals. A committee discussed dropouts in junior high school, a topic of concern and interest to the pirincipals. Other subjects of debate or group discussion were Creditation by Out side Accrediting Linits, and The Prin cipal and His Relationship with Stalf Members. Mr. I’ry'e attended a two-day meet ing of the North Cai'olina Priircipal Association of the NCEA which was held in Greensboro. Well-infoiTned persons spoke on toirics of immediate interest to prin cipals. Some of these persons are; Williard Gosling, Professor of Educa tion, Dr. William Friday, President of the Consolidated University of North Carolina, and Dr. Charles F. Carroll. One of the highlights of this meet ing was a speech by the Honorable Governor ’Perry Sanford, governor of the state of North Carolina. The past presidents of the Associ ation received recognition. 'Pwo of them. Dr. Lloyd Y. ’Phayer, a former principal of Ferndale Junior High School, and Dr, Jack Scott, principal of High Point Central High School, are from High Point. Bringing a tranquil and thoughtful attitude to the program will be Mrs. Elizabeth W. Fouts, a violin teacher with High Point public schools, who will jrlay Schubert’s “Ave Maria” and “O Come, O Come Emanuel.” The script, compiled by Mrs. Thelma Briggs, includes specially selected Christmas literature, religious music, and tableaux.

Mrs. Lillian Madison of the art dep)artment is directing the crea tion of the ever-welcome scenes of Christmas to be used in the program. Mr. Isaac Musick and his boys in shop are building reinforcements for the artists’ works. Mrs. Annetta Collins will see that eostumes are donned and arranged in the most effective way. Mr. Fred Mills and some of his boys will have charge of the lighting. The readers for this jpresentation are from the Junior Pointer staff. Dance Group Ready for Christmas Program Janice Lowe, Stephanie Thomas, Lark Loflin, Cathy Underwood, Alice Snider, Kitty M’oodruff, and Shirley Farlow, members of the dance group, strike an arm over arm pose. by Alice Snider One, two, turn, hop. This is just one of the expiressions one would hear if you were to visit the modern dance class soon. 'I'he class is now getting ready for a Christmas chapel program to be given Thursday. The ninth grade girls are divided into groups, which are choreographing or composing dances, to be done to different Christmas carols. The seventh and eighth graders are learning dances which are being taught by Mrs. Slawter, The Modem Dance Class in F'ern- dale, was originated last winter by Mrs. Courtney .Slawter, girls physical education teacher. The class had just thirty members at that time. When try-outs were held this year, there were over 120 girls trying out. Out of these, about thirty more girls were cliosen until now, there are around sixty-three members. ’fhe original members from last year gave, on Tuesday, November 26, a per formance at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. It was given to WC’s dance and physical education majors. The dances were the same ones which were given last spring for a chapel program. They included, “If I Had a Hammer,” “Camptown Races,” and “Peter Ciunn.” A tech nique sequence was done to begin the pr. gram and it was finished wdth “Peter Cunn.” The WC students were very im pressed with the girls performance to day. They commented on how well the girls had done and were surprised to learn they had had only one short year of dance training. Several of the WC students asked for copies of the tech- ni(iuc sequence the girls did. They are going to use this sequence when they themselves arc teaching dances to the girls of Junior High or High School age levels.” Comments made by the District Convention arc: “Even the men coaches were im pressed with the girls performance and commented on how professional they looked.” ’Phe purpose of the dance group is to give one some idea and better un derstanding of dance as an art form rather than dance as one does at a party or sees being done on television. It develops a sense of rhythm and agility in moving. It must be done gracefully and yet, with the under standing of the moods and rhythm of music, whether it be classical, folk, or jazz.
