Diamond's Sparkle Spreads
Announcement of Wedding
Beth Bencini
The JUNIOR POINTER has a
scoop on all state newspapers in
the society department. Miss
Madeline Kivett, seventh grade
teacher, is planning a summer
wedding! Although her parents
have made no announcements,
her irrepressible students have
broadcast the news far and wide.
Miss Kivett will marry Mr. H.
Clay Hartness of Statesville,
North Carolina. It woidd be hard
to hide the diamond that Miss
Kivett is wearing these days,
even though she isn’t tjying to
hide it.
Chapel Programs Provide
Original Entertainment
Welcome Among Students
Sharon Tipton
Attention students! Tired of
this scholastic dilemma? Then
this is what to look for — a new
and diversified type of entertain
ment to be previewed weekly in
the auditorium.
Although Mrs. Unity Eunder-
burk was unable to contact
James Bond, she did manage to
locate one of his fellow under
cover agents, Mr. Frank Fair-
child. Mr. Fairchild related some
of his perilous adventures to the
student body on February 10.
The ninth period English class
will present a play in March un
der the direction of Mr. Hugh
Whitley. Mr. Whitley is not
ready to reveal any specific in
formation at the present time.
However judging from past pro
grams, it is sure to be a good
production.
By overwhelming requests
Mrs. Judy Clodfelter is in the

A/l/ss Lifaker Attends Session
At New Experimental School
Barbara Halstead
This hoedown is to be presented
in the near future.
Past programs exhibited much
effort and originality.
No more checking papers un
til midnight or worrying about a
student who continually cuts
classes, a chance to get away
from your old dreary apartment
and live on an exciting campus,
or an easier job with the same
amount of pay.
These might be the meanings
of the North Carolina Advance
ment School, a school for stu
dents who have good ability but
poor academic performance, to
some teachers, but these are not
the feelings of Miss Estelle Lita-
ker, an eighth grade English and
reading teacher who is attending
a session at this new experi
mental school.
Miss Litaker’s purpose in at
tending this school is to teach the
students attending the school
how to learn and achieve higher
standards and to show to them
how much they are capable of
achieving. After attending this
Amidst all the new hair styles
and fashions has come a hair-do
called bangs, which is both ap
pealing to the eye and practical
for seeing. Bangs are a crop of
hair dangling almost to or over
the eyelids and covering almost
the complete forehead. The other
three “sides” of the head have
the locks hanging down and
curled upwards around the
shoulders. Bangs look as if the
hair had been cut with a bowl
placed over the head and trim
med along the edges.
Bangs are especially useful if
a girl has been kicked in the
forehead by her father for talk
ing to her boy friend for three
consecutive hours on the phone.
Toby Lindsay
If this situation arises, what is
the possible solution to rid one
self of the battle scars? All the
teenage girl has to do is style
her hair in bangs to conceal the
heel imprints, scratches, and
other unattractive markings.
Combining both Beatle hair
cuts and bangs, one has a difficult
task to distinguish the girls from
the boys. One has just to take
a look at Darrell Shaw or Gary
Pace to see what is meant by this.
Compared to past hair-dos,
bangs must be thought of as an
improvement. The new trend of
bangs aids in the preservation of
the little-school-girl look in an
age of alluring and demoralizing
fads.

new methods of teaching and
methods of teaching a student
how to learn.
During this experimental ses
sion of the North Carolina Ad
vancement School, located in
Winston-Salem, various methods
are being used. Experimental,
television, and programmed in
struction are being used during
the first session. Emphasis is be
ing placed on intensive instruc
tion in reading, speaking, arith
metic, and study skills.
Because this school agrees
with the theory that all work and
no play is not good, physical ed
ucation, recreation, and health
activities are also included.
Three students from Ferndale
are having the opportunity of at
tending the North Carolina Ad
vancement School.
Ode To Teaching
It seems kind of fantastic
The things that teachers do.
They teach you things you need
to know
And keep an eye on you.
They protect the girls from spit
wads
And other tricks of mischievous
boys
And take away the rubber bands
And other kinds of toys
They teach the writin and
rithmetic
And readin’ and spelling, too.
And on top of all of this
They keep an eye on you.
It must be difficidt to teach
When kids act mean and lazy.
Seems to me them chatterin girls
Would drive a body crazy.
T’would seem an unexciting life,
A life of checking papers
And kids who make yoii Oh! so
mad
You’d rather be with lepers!
But there’s a satisfaction
In that one of the kids may say
“You’re the nicest kind of a
teacher.
I wanna be like you some day.”
