r Page Six High Life May 6, 1955 D. Doakes Gives Pointers Daily Doubles On More Efficient Dozing One of the most perplexing of | er the teacher nor some goodie- all teen-age problems is “How to get the most doze during class es.” Here are a few thousand words from an expert on the sub ject, Doze E. Doakes, who will give us a few pointers. Mr. Doakes is now doing post graduate work as a sophomore, dozing for the third time. (Yawn) Take it away, Doze E. The 4 o’clock shadow is an ac cepted thing, but what about the 10:30, 12, and 2 o’clock shadows? These are dozing periods. These are the times when all good eyes should close for the good of the country’s youth. The two most popular doze- stealers are bees and teachers. One of either in the classroom is bad enough for just when you are in worst need of a doze, one or the other picks your ear to buzz in. After much private research and investigation I have found that the jBlrds, the Bee&, and, the Teachers are all working together for the harm of teen-age kind. I^st year, in retaliation of this movement, a number of my co horts and I woke up for long enough to organize the SPCD— the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Dozers. In our waking hours we do excellent work at sw'atting bees and teachers. Now for a few pointers on how to doze successfully. FirsH, purchase a box to be placed under your desk. Did I for get to add that it should be equip ped with a pillow, quilt, and pair of soft bedroom slippers? If you are a girl, and the odds are 50-50 that you are, a hairnet is also an essential, (that is, if you have hair; and the odds are 50-50 that you do.) Presuming that you have utilized this equipment properly, I would guess that you are dozing peace fully through English. But arise, for your troubles are not over goodies in your class (known to advanced dozers as pillow-polish ers) approve of your actions. So you must make said actions incon spicuous. A worthy position to as- ' sume is the deep-in-thought num ber. If suddenly your name is re sounded from some corner, simply say very slowly and thoughtfully, “It seems to me as though that question was rather ambiguously stated. Would you please repeat it?” This sounds intelligent after all interrogations but one—Do you dare doze in my class? I could go on like this for days, but in preparation of a lecture to the faculty on Swatting Students, I must go get my 10:30 doze. First Year Whirligig'ers Helping Design Yearbook This year for the first time GHS has offered a one semester course for the students who want to be on the WHIRLIGIG staff. The class is composed of 20 students. They meet every day in room 103 last period under the direction of Miss Virginia Powell, WHIRtlGIG adviser. The require ments for becoming a staff mem ber are being either a junior or senior and having a recommenda tion from an English teacher. One must also have these requirements to be in the first year class. The group has been studying about how yearbooks are printed. One of the assignments was to criticize a yearbook and to get good ideas for the ’55-56 WHIRLI GIG. They have seen movies, had discussions on printing, and have visited the Greensboro Engraving Company. At this time they were shown how pictures are printed. The members of the group have made some definite plans about next year’s annual. As a project for this semester, everyone is de- yet You have forgotten that neith- ^signing 16 pages of a yearbook. THE BOOKWORM By Pat Frazier In just four weeks school will be out! Then what? Maybe you are planning a summer of relaxation. If you are, you will have plenty of time to do all that extra reading you have been wanting to do but just couldn’t find time tor. There are many book lists in the library. These list books under subjects. One list called, “Patterns in Reading” is a very thorough guide. For example, under the sub ject entitled “Girls,” 19 different books are listed. Other subject heads such as, “Animal Tales,” “Guillotine Era,” “Explorers,” “Deepsea Diving,” and “Sports” are used with as many as 20 books listed under each subject. The book list called “Fare for the Reluctant Reader,” is a very informative book, also. In this list the books are arranged ac cording to grade and age levels. There are practically 100 pages in this book that are good reading for 11 and 12 grade students. These come under subjects like “Popular With Boys,” “Love and Romance,” “Tips for Teen-Agers,” “Hobbies” and “Choosing a Ca reer.” If you have ever wondered just what books you should have read you can find out in these guides. In these guides a list of famous novels are given. This summer you McFALLS Sunsei Hills Drug Co. IQIO Madison Ave, Phone 2-5140 Where the Elite Meet Greensboro’s Largest Home Owned Drug Store v/ill have time to read the books and other famous novels that you just didn’t have time to read until now^ , Through books, you can share the world’s riches. You can find information from books that you cannot get anywhere else. Much more education can be gained from books than you can ever imagine. So remember, the library is like a bank: You can check out treas urers. Come into the library now and make a summer list of books you would like to read. Other guides are READING LADDERS FOR HUMAN RELATIONS, ADVENT URES IN READING, and CHAR ACTER FORMATION THROUGH BOOKS. Spring is the time of year when all thoughts turn to everything except school. Probably Mr. X should be studying; however, now he is thinking about something much nicer. The girl in the cloud has grey eyes and brown hair. Hailing from Lindley, this sophomoi>e girl is serving on the Student Council this year and was recently elected secretary of GHS. The “little saint” is a fun-loving member of the LSP’s and is a mariner of the Joseph Conrad crew. Besides play ing the clarinet for the sixth period band, she is a majorette. A hot dog is her choice of food any day. Being an ardent sports’ fan, she likes to play almost any sport. Her career plan is to teach physical education. She is a mem ber of the Grace Methodist Church. Brown haired, 5 feet 10 inch Mr. X also claims Lindley as his Alma Mater. The sophomore dreamer’s hobby is music. He plays the French horn in the seventh period band and for the orchestra and plays the piano for the sopho more band. “People who talk too much” is his pet peeve. English is his favor ite subject, while shrimp is his choice of foods. He, too, attends Grace Methodist Church. “That’s All I Want From You” by Jaye P. Morgan is their favorite song. After having known each other since the seventh grade, they dated for the first time February 15, 1954 and started going steady October 15, 1955.
