Page Eight High Life May 14, 795^ f»; Students Predict Summer Fashions Having studied fashion magazines for the past month the Home Eco nomics Department has come across with their predictions of what will be popular in the way of dresses for graduation and throughout the summer. In the fashion show which is to be presented by the sixth period home ec class dresses of the latest design will be modeled. On ex hibit will be dresses of organdy which is the most popular material fjor the coming summer months, and nylons and synthetics which are old stand-bys. These materials are most popu lar in pastels, and in the form of the princess style dress with the empire waistline. Also popular will be the scooped neckline. Most of the time in the sixth period class has been spent helping Sylvia Weaver and Katherine Bun- tin, prospective graduates, de signed their graduation dresses, NATURE NOTES North Carolina is the world’s largest producer of medicinal plants. Some of the more common plants, which are compounded with other drugs, are mullein, yarrow, gold seal, sinseng, and a plant known to all of us, sassafras. We heard a nurhber of students and teachers remark about the noise the birds have been making in the parking lot and on the south side of the main building. In case, you didn’t know, the source was hundreds of transient goldfinches, little birds who have yellowish- gold bodies. Certainly any of you who have classes in room 103 were both amused and fascinated by the Brown Thrasher who built her ne.st outside your window . . . We take pleasure in saying Rotten Eggs to the person who removed the nest one week-end about three weeks ago! You may have noticed Uio nest under the walkway between the science building and the main building. It was built by the pesty Starling. Starlings were first brought to America from England to aid in pest control: but from the looks of tilings, they’ve only added to the variety of posts we already have here. Above are pictured the key fig ures in the May Day ceremonies which were held May 5, on the lawn of Senior High School.

Gilmore Reigns As Queen Over 1954 Festivities Poison ivy . . . Surely that rings a bell in each of our minds, or causes us to begin to itch. At this time of year, our thoughts are far from such trivial things as weeds. But the next time you’re out be hind the cafeteria, or practically any wooded area of the campus, notice the numerous, shiny, three leaved paints. These are poison ivy plants! Orchestra Picnic Planned For the third consecutive year the annual orchestra picnic will be held this afternoon at Edward Benjamin’s lake on Friendly Road The group will go out to the lake early this afternoon and will have swimming and boating priv ileges until late in the evening Hot dogs will be “served” along with the trimmings, and the party will break up later in the evening The senior tea, held in honor of the graduating seniors, will be held next Monday. Underclassmen ii the orchestra will furnish appro priate music for the occasion. As the traditional strains of Pomp and Circumstance heralded the approach of the Queen, a hush fell over the stands. And there was a catch in every throat as poised, stately Gloria Gilmore en tered to officially open the 1954 May Day exercises. Held on the front lawn of the school Wednesday, May 5, the five o’clock ceremony was the climax of several weeks of practice. Court jesters, Lila Malone and Barbara Flynn, outfitted in yellow and black, tossed balloons and goodies to the spectators and Lip Abner, alias Sam Walker; farmer Alan Atwell, and baby doll Mary Anne Culpepper escorted the band into the court. After the coronation by Kelly Maness, student body president, the traditional May pole dance was performed by the girls’ physical education class, dressed in pastels. An Indian dance, the pageant of the Gasparilla Invasion, a West- Coast festival, also carried out the theme of “American Festivals.” “Cotton Needs Pickin’,” directed by Miss Eula Tuttle, was sung and danced by members of the girls’ glee club. Carole Homey and Gloria Shaw did a command per formance for the court in their Royal Ballet, and masqueraders Billy Stewart and Margie Boren did a solo waltz number. The fig ure for the court ball was done by ladies of the court and their escorts, who danced a minuet. In spite of spectators’ comments on her poise and apparent calm. Queen Gloria confessed, “Last night I dreamed that I ran into the May pole during the processional.” Her dress of white satin encrusted with pearls, with a train of satin and net, was designed by Luther Self of Greensboro and New York, and made by his mother, Mrs. Self, who also made several of the at tendants’ dresses. Mr. Self called the queen’s dress one of the most beautiful dresses he had ever seen. Susan Hege, junior member of the cq^rt, made her own dress of ruf fled pink net.

Get a pencil and paper now, because today I have a dilly for you. I call this mtle dish the Last Month of School Tossed Salad, and it is especially delightful for those quick lunches on busy days. First, you need one average sen ior in his last few weeks of high school. One will be sufficient. The senior, however, must be on at least one committee, must be a member of at least one publica tions staff (taking two maths may be substituted here), must be tat ing at least five majors, must have at least one big test per day, and must have at least two book re ports due. . If the senior appears to havg enough work piled around him, he will be ingredient enough for your salad. If, however, you catch him idle for over 49 seconds, add one chem istry unknown, a handful of D av erages, three tests in one day, a cup of homework to make up be cause he went to Washington, and eight poems to be well-memorized. Sprinkle on some, balmy spring days—or, if the senior is a girl, a burning sun in the backyard should be added. To make the salad even more tasty, you will need to make this dressing for it: six movies, one dance, two picnics, five parties, one week-end trip, and one hour per day for television. Follow these directions carefully. Excess will keep the salad from tasting even remotely like graduation. Well, goodbye now. Enjoy your salad—if you should find the time to eat.
