Page Tint High Life September 20,1957 The Transfer StudentAlone In The Crowd Hall Almost evep" student, when he or she first enrolls in Senior High, feels over whelmed by the vastness of the campus and the enormity of the student body. For the first week or so of school it is expected that all “shlofmores'' will feel this way, and most of them do. For this reason the Student Council conducts an orientation program the first day of school. Such introductory procedures as this, however are not offered to another group which has reason to feel even more awed and lost than the sophomores—the trans fer students. This year over 100 students transferred to GHS from schools outside Greensboro. Recently, though, several aids to trans fer students have been added. Among these are the new counseling program that is being conducted this year, and the Junior Civitan Club’s Student Handbook, which contains much valuable informa tion. It is the aim of the guidance coun selors, through ithe new program, to con tact all of the transfer students during their study halls in an effort to help them with their adjustment. Admittedly these innovations help a great deal; but it still seems that there is something lacking. Perhaps it is that personal touch, for which there can be no substitute. A sophomore entering Senior has his junior high school friends, not to mention upperclassmen he has met, to look to for encouragement and advice. On the other hand, the transfer student has the task of making an entirely new set of friends. The little problems that a person meets, such as “Where can I buy a chem istry workbook?’’, or “How do you get to the basement of the boys’ gym?’’ seem inconsequential, but at the time they appear, they assume large proportions. These problems are especially trouble some to a student who changes schools in mid term. Is it possible then, that a type of “bud dy” system such as that used in summer camps would be effective? In ithis system each person is assigned a buddy and the two of them look out for each other. Applying this same idea to the transfer student, each one would be paired off with a student who could assist him. The need for such a system is slowly The Puroose of HIGH LIFE Is To: HIGH LIFE Published Semi-Moatlily by the Students of GreenidM>ro Senior High School Greensboro, N. G.

I hope it will enable you to keep up to date with the Council’s activities and be come more familiar with the work of your council. Approximately a week before school opened, a Student Council Workshop was held at Greensboro Senior High. The purpose of this workshop was to help all the council members become better ac quainted with the fundamentals erf Stu dent Council work and learn of the pro posed plains for the year. On September 2, the Student Council held its traditional Sophomore Orienta tion Program and on the following day assisted the faculty m registering the juniors and seniors. The Council has presented two assemb ly programs—one to the sophomores and one to the juniors and seniors to bring the Honor Code to the student body. It is our hope that each student of Senior High will make the individual points of And we think we’ve got troubles! A former GHS’er now living in Tampa, Florida, writes back—“ . . . had 2200 students this year ... eat lunch in three shifts . . . mine is at 10:45 . , . lasts only a half hour ... 42 kids in my home room . . . our first game (football) is September 27.” Comment—this is one of the approximately five high schools. teered all members’ services as assist ants to the regular classroom teachers at GHS. Tm A Typewriter By Ginger Bulla WGPS-FM, the voice of the Greensboro Public Schools located here at Senior, resumed the air waves as of Monday, September 16. Broadcasts are from 12:30 p. m. until 2:30 p. m. Monday through Friday. Miss Mozelle Causey, adviser, announces the ’57-’S8 staff as John Stan ton, chief engineer: Deanna Wagoner and Add Penfield, assistants and Carolyn Orrell, typist. GHS is always ably represented it seems. This time, in the ’56-’57 state French and Spanish contests Ruth McCul loch, Mary Pat Elig, and Katherine Po!k all got honorable mention pour Francais; Ginger Parker placed third and James Spence got honorable mention in Spanish. Peggy Sink, student body veep, who is also state FTA secretary, leaves Septem ber 21 for Raleigh and a board meeting where she will begin her duties in that capacity. Local Benjamin L. Smith chap^ ter president, Janet Coble, has volun Hello, folks, I’m a typewriter. A lot of people mistake me for something else. Some think I am a punching bag of some sort and pound me as though they were -trying to build muscles like Atlas. Others think I am a kitten and the softer they touch me the better I’ll purr. The most amusing thing to me is a brand-new sophomore! First he will lift the cover and take a peak; then he’ll punch his buddy saying. Gee! I’ll neveh learn to work this thing! It looks like some sort of monster. Then he’ll get enough nerve to remove the cover He begins to work all my “gadgets”, as. he calls them. For instance, take my line spacer. First I’m single, then double, then triple, and finally he -tries to com bine all and get a siaer! You’d think a poor typewriter could never live through all this. Well, I’ll tell you: it’s not easy. Now, a new-born -typewriter and a sophomore are really something. Oh! How weT I can remember. However, when you get to be an old-timer like me, you can endure everything—even a new Senior who thinks ;he knows it all!
