Expanding Profession
Of Physics Explained
“Physics is a rapidly expanding
profession,” according to a pam
phlet put forth by the Bureau of
Labor statistics.
Only a school so ‘well equipped
as Senior High could offer a be
ginning in this wide-open field.
This year there are two classes on
the subject taught by Mr. Stanley
Johnson,
To those who are scared away
from the course by its ominous
title there is a word of clarifica
tion from one pupil. George
Makely explained, “Physics delves
deep into the general science
which most people took in the
eighth or ninth grade.”
As for the opportunities for
those who find it a really interest
ing profession, they are many and
varied,, according to the aforemen
tioned bulletin.
Electronics holds the largest in
terest with 20% of the physicists
in the field. There are, however,
nine other fields from which to
choose ranging from the electronics
to the 4% which deal in quantum
theory.
As for chances of advancement,
they are wide-open. In 1952 ap
proximately 550 physicists were
awarded doctors degrees, and there
is always a demand for more scien
tists of this type.
As it comes even closer to the
time when seniors must choose
their work in life, from the infor
mation that has been published by
the government, physics would be
a field of many opportunities.

test was Hugh Price.
May is the time for queens and,
although this girl isn’t wearing s
crown, she is still a queen in the
eyes of this young man.
January 16 was the time of their
first date and on January 31, a
Sunday night, at 10 p. m., they
started going steady.
“IF YOU LOVE ME, REALLY
LOVE ME,” by Kay Starr, is the
song that they prefer to any other.
Also in the list of favorites are
some foods, ice cream for her and
he chooses steak.
Although these two people both
play basketball, (he was number
seven) their best-liked pastinie is
playing tennis, a sport that goes
right along with the month of May.
Oh, there’s one clue that you
should know, his name is not Bob.
Once when this squad member
called his queen of May, her
mother answered and said, “This
is Bob, isn’t it?” and before he
could answer no, she started a
conversation. Somehow he got the
idea she had been dating some
one named Bob. Well, let’s let her
explain.
That’s not the only embarras
sing incident that has happened
to them. They attended church
together one Sunday and as they
were leaving, his mother intro
duced her as “Virginia.”
Look for these names in a pop
ular ad.
Senior Boasis Artist;
Portrait Painting
Since time began people have
tried to record visions by drawing,
and GHS students are no excep
tions.
Everyone is endowed with a cer
tain amount of eccentric ideas to
qualify them as a GHS individual.
Judy Evans, a senior, fills the bill.
For instance, she prefers to dis
band the common way of taking
a picture (with a camera) to spend
ing endless hours with a paint brush
and oils to get a reproduction.
It all started with a very close
friend of her great great aunt who
was an artist. Naturally, Judy saw
the hereditary connection at once
and knew she must have inherited
vast amount of artistic talent.
Thus, she started making plans for
her career as a portrait painter
early in her life.
Her “hunch” seems to have pan
ned out quite accurately, for now
she is paid in money for her paint
ings. Among her recent subjects
for portraits were several GHS
students—Mary Ellen Kaelin, Dawn
Tucker, and Ellen Dennis.
Judy wistfully stated, “Next year
I plan to attend R. P. I. in the at
tempt to gain further background
for becoming an artist.”
Billy Holderness, a junior this
year at GHS, is another talented
and versatile artist. He is best
known around Senior for his car
toons, but he also likes to do cari
catures and sketches that point
out something. His favorite med
iums are pencil, water colors, and'
pen and ink. |
Artistic talent seems to run in I
the Holderness family too. Billy’s
grandmother won several awards
for her paintings and one of his
aunts does excellent portraits;
also, his sister designs clothes.
Billy’s art background comes
from his natural talent, plus a
year of art, a year of drafting, and
a year in GHS’s art department.

A SURE BET
BY PAT GITTINS
Hi there, everybody. Only a short
time is left until schol is out, but
first of all exams must come.. Well,
here is a chance to cure those
“exams blues”—a CinemaScope-
technicolor production, POINT OF
NO RETURN, starts at the CARO
LINA THEATER Sunday and plays
through Tuesday.
The stars? None other than Mar
ilyn Monroe, Robert Mitchum, and
Rory Calhoun. Other stars are
Tommy Rettig, Douglas Spencer,
and Marvyn Vye.
POINT OF NO RETURN is a
western of the great open ‘^spaces.
It has plenty of originality, action,
and suspense to attract almost any
body.
The indescribably beautiful
scenic background of the Canadian
Rockies makes it a well-rounded
picture of action and romance.
All of these '“real cool” ingredi
ents are welded into an entertain
ing and exciting film produced by
Stanley Robin and the director of
the pitcure, Otto Preminger.
So do come to the CAROLINA
THEATER. “POINT OF NO RE
TURN” will appeal to young and
old, male or female.
A sure bet and a must for your
movie calendar.

for HIGH LIFE his senior year
and then go into commercial draw-
ng after further study at UNC.
