May 25, 1956 High Life Page Severn Sophomores Of JCL Stage Variety Show For Other Members Sophomore members of JCL Thursday, May 17, presented a Roman variety show in room 309 for the other members of the club. Sandra Hoiderness was in charge of the program and pre sented several acts keyed to fit a Roman and a Latin mood. Denny Broadhurst sang two songs in Latin, Ave Maria and Integer Vitae. She was accompanied by Jean Medearis. Meyressa Hughes recited a poeni which told the story of a famous hunt. During the recitation the scenes were depicted in panto mime by a cast consisting of Paul Tobin, Ifexry Smith, linda Harri son, Pat Howell, Mary Jane Hig gins, Prissy Wyrick, and Peggy Earle. Next, George Murphy presented the soliloquy from Julius Caesar, Homans, Countrymen . This was done in two ver sions, a correct and then a highly dramatic and slightly ridiculous performance. Max Snodderly re ported on Roman weapons, and Judy Leah, dressed in Roman Costume, classic dance. Newly elected officers of the Latin dub for the coming school year are Linda Harrison, presi dent; Prissy Wyrick, vice-presi dent; Camille Wimberley, secre tary; and Betsy Stevens, treasur er.

We won’t stop to see what they’re writing—that would be snooping, and we don’t snoop, do we? We can imagine that Miss X, a senior, is writing something very sentimental in Mr. X’s yearbook, because she will be leaving next year for Woman’s College, she hopes, Mr. X is probably writing something equally as sentimental because, since he is only a junior, he will be left behind next year.

This 5 foot, 6 V2 inch girl with blond hair and blue eyes disagrees with Mr. X about their favorite food; hers is fried chicken while his is steak and Prepch fried potatoes. They both agree that “Walk Hand in Hand” is their favorite song. Mr. X attends the First Bap tist Church.

Are you overweight, under weight, or 01 the lii. kv people who have a normal weight?” That’s what many of the sopho mores in Mrs. EJoise Higgins* Bi ology 2 classes wanted to know. Mrs. Higgins’ biology students have been studying diets, calories, and other things pertaining to a person’s weight. In this course of study, the students kept a record of their total intake of food for one entire day, and, with the help of calory tables, they calculated the number of calories they had consumed that day. The method used for determin ing the number of calories needed for ordinary student activity is, for the boys, to multiply 25 by the number of pounds that he should weight, and for girls, to multiply 18 by the number of pounds she should weigh. Of course, for great er exercise, more calories are needed. While doing this, the students decided to make a survey of 100 sophomores to determine what per centage of them were overweight, underweight, and of normal weight. They determined the percentage Librarians Suggest Books For Summer Enjoyment Many students ask from time to time for help in choosing books worth their time to read. Since summer vacation presents more time for doing some of the things by comparing their weight, height, which have to be neglected during and age to table. The survey the school year, it may be as- resulted with 59 per cent under weight, 29 per cent normal weight, and 12 per cent overweight,. In the underweight group, 15 per cent are more than 10 per cent under weight. I “Being underweight,” states Mrs. Higgins, "makes a person more i susceptible to disease, particularly j tuberculosis, one of the chief kill- iers of young people today. Being j overweight puts a strain on the heart. For every ppund overweight, the heart has to pump through 4,500 additional feet of blood vessels.” Glascock, Carruthers fCovtivned from Page Four) A special award known as the Coaches “IP” Trophy was given to Dwight Witty.

In the introduction to this title the editors say that the Good Reading Book List with its introductory and supplementary material is in effec '. a compact outline of cul tural history and a practical plan for self-education. Many people who would not think of going without food are perfectly willing to neglect their own brains. The editor of Good Reading suggests, however, for those students interested in im proving their minds that they set up a complete reading program which should include four factors: one good book each week, a news paper or news magazine, maga zines of comment and interpre tation, and book reviews. If you keep feeding your intelligence with these four foods, you can be sure your brain cells will be properly nourished. Time To Read If a person wishes to read better and faster, and most high school students as well as college need to do so, it is necessary to read much more than the average stu dent is now reading. Time must be found to read. In his book en titled How to Read Better and Faster Norman Lewis says that a person must develop the habit of reading two hours at a stretch, several stretches every week, if he or she expects to become a good or rapid reader. Try to plan a good reading schedule, and then stick to it. The rewards will be worth all the time one spends on reading. Open Every Night Until 9 SUMMIT SHOPPING CENTER Greensboro, N. C.
