Teachers Go Beyond Call Of Duty;
Advise Many School Organzations
Teaching is full time in itself,
but several GHS pedagogues have
gone beyond their call of duty in
this field. They, not content with
putting “book laming” into the
tender heads of their pupils, are
head of various and sundry orga
nizations which keep them at school
even longer than 3:45. There is
no sane explanation for this ex
cept perhaps that once they were
knocked down in the after school
rush and have been fearful of that
hour ever since.
Whirligig Worker
There is Miss Virginia Powell,
adviser to WHRILIGIG. The ghosts
of GHS can often see her after the
sun has set, slaving away
WHIRLIGIG’S office. She not only
has the work, but the fearful strain
of wondering “Will the deadline
be met?” or “Will they like it?”
Another literary leader is Miss
Paula Abernethy, without whom
HIGH LIFE would have no life.
Her little green car is a familiar
sight nestled among the pines of
the parking- lot after sundown.
Quill and Scroll also can claim
Miss Abernethy as its adviser. She
lords over the hoped-to-be-publish-
ed-soon HOMESPUN.
The three Classes have an ad
viser.in charge-of seeing that their
Class raises it contribution for
WHIRLIGIG. These stalwart souls
are Miss Eula Tuttle for seniors,
Mrs. Mary Madlin for sophomores,
and Miss Estelle Mitchell for jun
iors.
Class Day Head
Another job falling due to Miss
Tuttle is being in charge of Class
Day. The Day to be managed by
hands accustomed to directing
music might even turn out to be
an opera.
Still another junior job is one
performed by Miss Penelope Bo
gart. She is head of the junior
marshals.
Mrs. Edna Earle Randolph is
man is being co-chairman of the
May Day committee.
The student council is under the
able leadership of Miss Dorothy
McNairy. The fact that she has
held this position for several years
with very few complaints should
be an indication of her ability in
advising the council.
Honor Roll Recorder
Every six weeks the work piles
up on Mrs. Blanche Smith. She
has to average all grades to de-
[termine honor roll candidates and
keep all the records straight for
exam exemptions.
With Mr. Stanley Johnson, teach
ing is abandoned during 6 and 7
periods for looking after the school
store. He also must look after the
store before and after school.
The D.O.-D.E. classes can go to
Mrs. Margaret Hodden when hunt
ing a job. She is director of the
part-time program.
In case anyone has ever wonder
ed who tells the squads which
doors they can’t go into, they may
see Mr. Donovan Darnell, traffic
director of the directors.
Every Torchlighter needs an ad
viser, and Miss Sara Mims can
claim this position.
Besides being assistant-princi
pal, Mr. Lacy Anderson advises
the Future Teachers of America
and sees that bus drivers get in
almost on time.
Graduation Leaders
Graduation brings several events
of which there have to be people
in charge, mainly teachers. Mrs.
Nellie Blackburn is planning the
senior luncheon.
Dean Mary Ellen Blackman pre
sides over the office marked clinic.
She sees why students aren’t at
school, why they are leaving school,
and sends off records that will
get them out of school and into
college.
Those teachers are not the only

Miss X has one pet peeve! That
is to be able to keep up with Mr.

pearances of the future great
DOOLEY TIPPERS. The reason
for this, Mr. X is one of them. He
thoroughly enjoys doing these
shows but she doesn’t always
think they are so “lovey, dovey.”
As she says “It sometimes gets
boring, especially when I want to
do something else. But the show
must go on.”

who spent part of Wednesday,
March 24, at the Natural History
Museum in Raleigh.
Other curiosities viewed were
the skeleton of a whale, a buffalo,
an elk, a panther, a wild cat, an
albino deer, a whistling swan, and
many other stuffed mammals.
After spending several hours in
the museum, the group went to
the capitol building to observe the^
Senate and the House. A tour was
made of the Education Building,
where many interesting Civil War
souvenirs were exhibited. Christ’s
Church, founded in 1821, was an
other point of interest visited by
the students.

With yardstick and tapemeasure
in hand, and a measuring-up ex
pression on his countenance, Mr.
Routh launched forth last week on
his annual Senior Hunt. His job:
to take the measurements of 430
reluctant seniors for graduation
robes they may or may not have
use for on May 27.
An economic move which has
been suggested in ordering the
robes is to get the extra material
for Don Patterson’s from that cut
off of Mary Ellen Rierson’s robe.
Generally, tall girls want to be
shorter and short boys want to be
taller, or, “As a rule, a man’s a
fool. If it’s hot he wants it cool.
If it’s cool he wants it hot—always
wanting what is not.” (Confusion)
Something brand- new has hit the
ole town, and JOHNSON & AUL-
BERT CLOTHING CO., 120 N.
Elm, has it! On sale now at J & A
Is something entirely new, the
likes of which, I doubt you’ve seen.
The BpLA TIE, a new style sport
tie for all sport shirts, is very
correct for dining out or evening
wear. If you are sitting here trying
to picture thiB sensational tie,
think back to last week and re
member that “thing” I wore for
a couple of days. CHESTER WOOD
also wore it for awhile, and BOB
BY JACKSON certainly gave his
approval on it. He said, “It is just
the thing to wear to KEY CLUB
meetings, since we are required to
wear ties or pay a $.50 fine. This
BOLA TIE looks good and is surely
comfortable.” Seriously though,
since this is so new, and certainly
hard to describe, if you failed to
see one of us wearing it, go on
down to J & A and let one of the
boys show you all the different
styles. You won’t regret it for these
ties sell for only $2.50.
Just like I’ve been telling for
the last few weeks, it’s high time
that spring suit was purchased. Be
lieve it or not, they are already
being picked over. Of course, the
shipments continue to arrive, but
why wait so late to get yours?
I imagine MR. ROUTH will soon
be going down to J & A to select
his spring wardrobe, since good
ole GHS can really get hot in
warm weather.
Well, I guess that just about
wraps it up for this time, but be
fore I go, I just want to urge you
to go down and look at those
BOLA TIES; you just can’t miss
with one!
