Members of GHS^ Choir Attend Chorus Workshop In August the Greensboro choir made a trip they had been talking about and planning for quite a while. The choir members chartered a bus and proceeded to go camping at Fort Caswell Assembly Grounds, near Southport, North Carolina. Approximately 40 GHS students attended the Annual Chjorus Workshop along with 250 choris ters from other parts of the state. It was heard that “Certain mem bers making the trip by car had quite a bit of car trouble on the way down.” It seems they left Greensboro in Ray Thomas’ car at 8:30 a. m. and arrived at camp around 5.30 p. m. Boys, it doesn’t take most people that long to go 230 miles. The boys and girls lived in bar racks with about 50 to a building. The group sang twice a, day, in the morning and at night. During the afternoons the choristers were free to go to a nearby beach or to go sightseeing. When asked what he would re member longest, Karl Ray replied, “The mosquitos. All you had to do was to slap yourself and people would know you were a choir mem ber.” The Greensboro members seem to be of one opinion when asked about Dr. Lara Hoggard, their in structor, who was once an assistant to Fred Waring. Said Lisa Ander son, “He is the most wonderful man I’ve ever known. He was a great inspiration to us all.” To show their appreciation to Dr. Hoggard for his guidance and leadership, the whole group pre sented him with a high-fidelity record player. Miss Eula Tuttle, group adviser, commented, “It rained and there were mosquitos by the millions, but even that didn’t dampen their spirits.” OR the New HARLEY-DAVIDSON mMMm And best of all, you can own this exciting, new two-wheel er for only a few dollars a week.

Phone 8417 Phone 9861 Sixty per cent of the largest class in the history of the school “got out to vote” and selected their leaders for the school year last Friday, Sep tember 30. Supporters of Jey Deifell boosted their man into the top position as president of the Sophomore Class. The oth er three class positions were filled by Prissy Wyrick, vice- presidtnt; Linda Cashwell, sec retary; and Harry Smith, trea surer. The nine representatives to stu dent council selected from a field originally 59 strong wert Pat Ellis, Spencer Gaylord, Linda Harrison, Sandra Holderness, Lois Lynch, Roy Michaux, Laura Pearce, Peggy Sink, and iKtty White. After a general elimination vote at the polls on Thursday, twenty six of the 9d candidates were re tained for the run-off during home room period on Friday. Ballots were counted during the day and results announced at seventh per iod by Dick Robinson, elections chairman. Funds For Additions Voting on Friday culminated a full week of preparation. Candi dates were presented in assembly on Wednesday and registration was held on Tuesday and Wednesday. Those defeated for class posi^ tiohs in the finals were John Bur- well, candidate for president; Ann Proceeds that have accumulated from the school store over the past few years are being put to use to finance the installation of eight new water fountains, a new modern sound system in the auditorium, and a new asbestos curtain for the stage. These projects were proposed and promoted by A. P. Routh, prin cipal, and J, S. Johnson, head of the school store. They were ap proved by the Board of Education. “This generation should have the use of the money from the school store rather than saving it for use in the future,” stated Mr. Johnson. The only logical way to dispose of the surplus money that has accumulated through pro fits and coupons was to give the students the benefits. There are already three electric water coolers in the school as gifts of graduating classes. After the new water fountains are in stalled, a modern and efficient sound system is to be installed in the auditorium. This will enable people sitting under he balcony and in the upper part of the bal cony better hear the happenings on stage. The third project to be sponsor, ed by the school store is the re placing of the old asbestos curtain which protects the velvet curtains on the stage with a new one deco rated with a mural painting. “Mr. Routh deserves a lot of credit for promoting this plan and Robinson, candidate for vice-presi- followed through.” stated dent; Paula Sain, secretarial cand- Johnson. idate; and Nancy McDowell, eandi- date for treasurer, Deifell, the only officer hailing from Aycock Junior High was pres ident of his student body in 1954, a council representative in the eight and ninth grades, and presi dent of Aycock Boys’ Chorus.
