Page 4 JUNIOR POINTER April 29,1965 Room 3 Visits North Carolina Art Museum, Meets Governor EVANGEL Rembrandt, Moore, Reuben, and Whitley! A kaleidosocpe of names, faces, and colors whirled around the members of Mr. Isaac Musick’s R(X)m 3 on its trip to Raleigh March 26. Accom panied by Mrs. Lillian Madison, Mrs. J. H. Burnley, Mrs. T. E. Ragan, and Mrs. Marjorie Blair, student teacher in 205, the group gaily descended upon the capital city. The tour of the art museum, the main objective of the excur sion, proved to be the most in teresting part of the trip. After the gang had gaped through the museum looking dazed and con tented, the guide remarked, showing her sense of humor, that Room 3 was the most intelligent Mary Burnley group she had ever had. The beautiful new legislature building loomed ahead of the \’oters of tomorrow'. The huge seal of North Carolina, made of colored marble, almost entirely covered the front walk of the State House. Comments, such as “Beautiful, so this is where our taxes go,” revealed the first im pressions of the class members. The only building in the U. S. to be devoted exclusively to the law-making branch of govern ment, the State House is made up mainly of offices for the legis lators and government officials. While in Raleigh the class w'as privileged to meet and talk w'ith Governor Dan Moore. Much to the delight of everx'one, Mr. Moore greeted Mrs. Madison with a w'arm embrace. It didn't take much explaining to get themselves out of that fix. \Irs. Madison and Mr. Moore are very close friends, having grow'n up together. ■ Chapel Chatter" 114 To Present Skits Based On Citizens' Guide Sharon Tipton An upcoming program to look forward to is to be presented by homeroom 114 under the super- vsion of Miss Margaret Wilson.
