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. At
the left is Marian Cornelius, senior
maid of honor, who was escorted
by Waddell Solomon, and at center
is Queen Gloria Gilmore, who was
crowned by Student Council Presi
dent, Kelly Maness.
Shown in the picture at the left
are Melissa Thompson, flower girl
who is the cousin of Julianna
Clark, and Duke Strother, crown
bearer, who is the brother of
Frances Strother.
NEWS BRIEFS

ty last Monday afternoon. May 10,

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.

THE RECIPE
By Nancy' McGlamery
Good morning friends! This
Betty Croaker again with more
my tasty recipes. 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.
