Page Six High Life October 7, 1955 Anderson’s Slanguage Use Proves To Be Living End If anyone hears L. W. Ander son, assistant principal at GHS, walking around the campus saying such things as “see ya’,” “natch," “I clue you,” “he’s goin to the fleet of the flicks,” or if he calls someone “prehistoric,” it’s not be cause he’s going into his second childhood—he’s only trying out a few of the slang words given him by the Creative Writing class for his collection. Mr. Anderson, who is president of the Greensboro Writers Club, became interested in a Creative Writing course through his own writing, which he does as a hobby. He started the class four years ago and decided that he would col lect-slang words from the students who took the course so that he would have a contemporary knowl edge of teen-age slang. He has collected approximately three or four hundred words; mostly they are ballad or folklore. “Some people,” says Mr. Ander son, “have the idea that everyone who enrolls in the Creative Writing course plans to become a profes sional writer. That is not, however, the reason students are taking the course. This course is designed primarily to help students express themselves in writing. It aids them in their other classes and in col lege preparation also.” Many of the students were shock ed when informed by Mi*. Ander son that the bigger words were not the better. He insists that his students use small concise words rather than bigger over-learned ones. “Make every word count," he pounds into the heods of his students. Paula Tuttle, senior, says, “Tm interested in finding out what I can and cannot do with the writ ten word. I like to write, but I would like to know a few of the basic steps.” The course, which is a one- semester course, has averaged an enrollment of about 18 or 20 stu dents since it was started. So far this year the class has studied words and sentences — how to use words to make the sentences pleasing and emphatic. The students found out that close observation and learning not to be wordy are two necessary fac tors in writing description of per sons, places, or things. In all their writing so far, the class has drawn from the five senses—taste, smell, sound, touch and sight. They are now working on paragraphs con taining dialogue between two char acters and presenting a problem of two people. When questioned about the course Gayle Apple, senior, replied, “It is excellent training for writ ing in college and also helps us to get a better understanding of GREENSBORO DRUG COMPANY C. M.

It Is a course I be lieve everyone should take,” says Jackie Williams, senior, about Creatve Writing.

University of North Carolina, Wake Forest College, Woman’s College -ADV. By Elwood Hartman Hi there! I wonder how many of you took my advice and tried the CAROLINA THEATRE for that date last week-end. If you haven’t you should, because the CAROLINA is Greensboro’s larg est and finest theatre. Here’s a preview of the wonderful movies coming your way. Playing Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday, at the CAROLINA is the MGM Cinemascope production “Moon Fleet.” Filmed in color, this drama relates the story of a two. fisted 18-century adventurer and smuggler, played by Stewart Gran ger. During his escapades he is pursued by three beautiful women, Swedish Viveca Lindfors, English Joan Greenwood ,and the Paris- ienne ballerina Liliane Montevec- chi. Granger plays a very similar role to the ones he played in his recent successes, “Beau BrummeT’ and “Green Fire.” Also co-starring in “Moon Fleet" is Hon Whitely, England’s most outstanding child actor. Then beginning Wednesday and continuing through Saturday is “Left Hand of God,” a 20th-Cen tury Fox Cinemascope color pro duction starring Humphrey Bogart. Gene Tierney, and Agnes Moore- head Bogart plays th=i part of Carmody, an unscrupulous Ameri can flier who becomes an advent urer after World War IT. He soon finds himself >8 the leader of a Chinese warlord’s nondescript army. To escape his environment he disguises himself as a priest but soon profanes the cloth he is wearing. This role reveals Bogart’s versatility by casting him very differently and unexpectedly than ever before.—ADV. Hoo BY BRENDA GIBSON Caling all teens ...
