HALL TALES jr«d^ SlMttMt The following parattiph wm sub^tted ia^XGK liwc: ‘''bbe 'day 'a bian had to have as operation ob hia br^^ Be went to the hospital, and the doet^ operated and took oitt hia brain to lo^ at it. While they were «- amining his brain, he hopped up from the operating table and ran but' of the hospital. Since that day, be cab always be found in theaters and auditoriums, making loud noises and throwing paper planes at the performed on the stage! Look for hint at the next play, concert, or assembly, for he will be there; he always is.” Betty Palmer World-renowned music critics are praising Cooper Null’s hand’s “Confusion,” and I imagine Liz Sutton’s father was in somewhat of a confusion when the junior band dropped over to Liz’s house and played some real sleepy-time music, especially for Mr. Sutton! These boys are really rocking— they’re going to play at Greens boro Country Club on New Year’s Eve. Can’t you just see their names in lights about ten years from now! Bill Ward: What did the music ian have engraved on his tomb stone? Dennis Maynard: Don’t dig me, •boys; this time I’m really gone! You know that old expression about finding a “needle in a hay stack?” Welf^ leave it to Liz, for she found it literally—on a hay- ride! Get the point, Phil Needles? Doyle Moore: Did you hear? One of the iMys in biology swallowed a live frog. Linda Harrison: Didn’t it make him sicb? Doyle Igoore: Oh yes, he's likely to croak. Ronnie Austin: Say, Ed, can you let me have five? . . . Ed Schenek: No ... Ronnie Austin: . . . minutes of your time Ed Schenck: . . . trouble at aR, ol* buddy. Definition of illegal: sick bird. Jimmy Everett: Say, Cbic, is Molly very talkative? Chic Forbes: Not exactly. But I got a cold and lost my voice for three days, and she never found out.

On ail Wrlteright achooi supplies, there is a coupon which can be used to get valuable prizes. These prizes are then sold to. ob tain useful articles for the school. J. Stanley Johnson; GHS phyMcs teacher, more familiarly known as “Jabbo”, is in chwge of the school store, assisted before school by the men of the faculty. During last period, six Senior High students carry out many duties and jobs of the school store. They are Caro lyn Paschal, Kay Kuykendall, Fran- nie Welsh, Butch Moring, Fred Alton, and Bill Parker. The coupons are cut out with razor blades and are torn off the notebook paper covers. Then, the coupons are counted into quanti ties of 500. Mr. Johnson sends these coupons to the Writeright contest and usually the school store wins bicycles or raises. After sell ing them, the money is used to buy useful articles for the school. In the past, this money has bought water fountains, the sound sys tem, the asbesto^ curtains in the auditorium, and a camera for WHIRLIGIG. The value of these coupons vary. The notebook coupons are worth five coupons, and notebook paper, two coupons. Several years ago a teacher at Sternberger Elementary School saved coupons until he had 40,000, and won a trip to Havana, Cuba, for a week. For all we know, “Jab- ’ bo” may be taking off to Europe with 100,000 coupons! 105 Senior Girls Compete For Crocker Scholarship Miss Mary E. York, head of tiie Home Economics Department of Senior High School, has an nounced that 105 Senior High girls participated in the Second National Annual Betty Crocker “Home maker of Tomorrow” test which was given on December 6, at 9 o’clock in the cafeteria of Senior High School. The test was given for the Amer ican Homemaker of Tomorrow by General Mills, Inc., Department 385, Minneapolis 1, Minnesota. Miss York received a letter i^om Betty Crocker, on August 8, 1915, inviting her to enter as many senior girls aa possible from Sen ior High. Thei^ are $10d.#00 la scholw^ ships, pins for seh^l wianert, eo^ bocks for seh^Is, and Xneydoi^- la 'Brltanniea sets for tbs schools of state ^vinners^a tour of historie shriners for state winnm and their teachers. Rul^s for test wcr« listed in a p^phlet received by Miss York front Betty CroOkor. Some of rules are follows: 1. All high schools in the 48 states and the District of Co lumbia are eligibl* to partlei- pste, 2. AU 12th grade high school girls of the class of 1956 in the participating schools are el igible. 3.

No advertising of any kind was shown in the test or material re ceived. This was not a test for ad vertising but to see the home- making knowledge and attitudes of each girl pariicipating. If any registrations arrived after the dead line, they had to be disallowed. Last year, more than 180,000 high school girls took part in this ad venture. Permission was given by A P. Routh, principal of Senior High, for the test to be given. There were 150 objective questions for' the girls to answer.

The widespread participa tion in the first year's pregram and the enthusiastic ex^esslohs from teachers, admlnirtrators, home economists, rtudents and parents have indicated to (^cieral Mills that the educational objec tives outlined have been achieved to an unusually high degree. A National Advlsery Committee of 15 leaders iii the fields of home making admlnlrtration, and p^- chology advises on the total pro gram. The states represented in the advisory committee arc: Des Moines, Iowa, Olympls, Washing, ton, Urbana, Illinois, Atlanta, Georgia, Washington D.
