January 14,19SS High Life Page Three DAILY DOUBLES As exam time is ^drawing near, our daily doubles of the week are completing a bulletin board re lating to exams. They are trying to remjnd us that in the rush of exams, no matter how confused things may become, our ultimate goal is “Study to approve thyself unto God.” By Mary Wheeler Hi everyone! All set for the ex ams next week? Well, who is? Just in case you’ve studied till th^gs are jumbling together in your minds, let me suggest that you take time out to relax. Can you think of a better way to relax than going to a really good movie at the best show place in town—the Carolina Theatre? I can’t, so I’ll tell you about the shows that will be playing Sunday through Saturday. Playing Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday, in Cinemascope, is “Sitt ing Bull”. More than five hundred great Sioux chieftain and his bloody Indians appear in this saga of the battles with the United States gov ernment. Except for one, Iron Eyes Cody, all the Indians are Mexican. This picture, in Eastman color, was filmed in the Salazar area of Mex ico. Then playing Wednesday, Thurs day, Friday and Saturday is “Young at Heart” a romantic film starring Doris Day and Frank Sinatra. Both of these stars sang their way to starom. While neither of them planned on a career of dramatic acting, both of them are now es tablished in that field. In fact, Sinatra won an Academy Award for “From Here to Eternity,” without singing a note. In the new Warner Brothers picture, both Doris and Frank have roles that call for ^ combination of dramatic talent as well as song. , So for a real way to relax dur ing the exams, let’s all go to the Carolirui Theatre. Our brown haired Miss X stands 5’7” and has hazel eyes. She hails from Aycock where she was in the Honor Society, in the eighth and ninth grades. Being junior editor of the WHIRLIGIG requires much of her time, but she still has time for music and sewing, her favorite pastimes. English is Miss X’s fav orite subject. Her college hopes are set for R.P.I. with interior decorating as her major. She at tends the First Presbyterian Church. Coming from Lindley where he acted as vice-president, Mr. X is a junior and is president of his home room. This 160 pounder is 5’7”. Recently taking the trip to Chicago, he is a member of the concert band, and plays bass. Col lecting records, usually classical, is his hobby. His favorite subjects are history and geometry. He at tains honor grades regularly. State is the college he hopes to attend. He plans to enter the scientific field. He attends the Starmount Presbyterian Church. Our mystery couple of the week met at the Azalea Festival last spring. They started dating early in November of 1954 and spoke the steady vows November 28. You’ll find their names in a pop ular ad. Preparation For Exams Real Fun For Teachers It is hardly necessary to remind any student of the coming exams, but what about the teachers? This may come as a shock to some pu pils, but one of the hardest parts of exam week is the preparation by the teacher of a good, juicy exam. Here are a few, choice ways which “schoolma’ams” employ in propagating exams. First here is a glimpse at. an English instructor a week before the Judgment Day. She paces the floor angrily. Something original is what she craves! Oh dear, oh dear. Her classes are such run-of- the-mill-classes too . . . why that’s it! Why can’t they write a short story on running a mill? “What an ingenious idea,” she beams. “I’ll be the Big Wheel, too!” A math “bear leader” (a syno nym for teacher) also has her prob lems. After many hours of cogita tion, she sneaks stealthy up to the attic and digs out her old al gebra 87 book. Turning to the “simpler” problems, she chooses 80 or 90 that she can solve and copies them down, beaming in the prospect of seeing the shining lights of her classes flicker a lit tle! “If I could just dream up Some thing. Those kids are just too bright. So maybe I won’t give them a typing test. If I could only dream up something!” Then, sure enough, Miss Typewriter Rib bon of 1938 goes to sweet slum ber, and lo and behold, Mr. Sand man brings her a dream: she’ll let her little demons recreate the whole typing book (from memory of course). If they are opposed to this, they can write one of their own! History tutors really have it made. Being of high intelligence anyway, most of them are avid fans of Groucho Marx. After a few years of strict attention, Harry D. History-teacher has a fine, set of questions lined up for his quiz. Imagine the writhing countenances of his pupils as they con the first query: Who was buried in Grant’s tomb? Next is the poor language in structor. She is without inspiration. Then . . • yes, that’s it! She’ll hire a Frenchman (or in Spanish, a Spaniard) to lecture her classes in his native tongue, and they shall translate verbatim his message. It should only cost several thousand dollars per importation, but it’ll be worth it. However now another problem arises: where will the Latin department find an ancient Roman who is willing to travel? Why of course . . • Marlon Brando! So it can now be seen that exams are envisaged in various modes. However, the examples given above, while very popular, are not always used; therefore it is ad visable that the students wishing to pass should not count on the arrival of Marlon Brando or Mr. Sandman! In the last issue of HIGH LIFE the honor roll story was given, but the following home rooms were omitted. Those students in home room 302 making special honor roll were Sue Spence, Lou Spence, Nancy Stout, and Vicki Stewart. Students mak ing regular honor roll were Caro lyn Smith, Betty Stanford, Beth Stout, and Graham Talbot. In room 313 Robert Willett made special honor roll. Students mak ing regular honor roll were Sandra Way, Joan Weinstein, Harriet Wells, Kay Weston, Marie White, and Helen White.'
