February, 1957 THE PANTHER’S CLAW h Page Three Guidance Progran Is Outlined By Counselors The students at Dudley High School have been Quite fortunate in that they have had guidance services through the homerooms for many years and for the past two years, special time in the school’s schedule has been set aside for individual coimseling. The guidance concept is not new; but there probably is no term which has been used more loosely or more incorrectly than the word •“guidance.” Guidance is not di rection. It is not the imposition of one person’s point of view upon another. It is not making decisions for a student which he should make for himself. Rather, guid ance is assistance made available by a counselor to an individual to help him direct his own life, de velop his own point of view and make his own' decisions. Guidance, as outlined at Dud ley, seeks to have students become familiar ■with a wide range of in formation about himself, his in terests, his abilities, his plans or ambitions for the future. Guidance helps students become acquainted with the various problems of so cial, vocational and recreational adjustment which he faces. The guidance program at Dud- Cupid Valentine Day was one for sweethearts. It’s our belief that Dan Cupid (the little fellow with the bow and arrow) shot his arrow somewhere around Dudley. On his arrow he left a gift to each of the folio-wing: The playboys—he left you a heart of gold, or your hear cold? Jerry Watkins, Lonnie Ingram, Charles Gilmore, Berkley Tatum, Franklin Daye, and Cecil Boone. The playgirls — Did he leave your heart dangling on a string or make your heart want to sing? Peggy Haith, Alfreda Steele, Iris Lyons, Faye Tatum, Emily Wood ward, Ruby Russell, Helen Sellars and Agnes Wright. The steadies—Did he niake you forget your beau, or bring you happiness and song, row in row? ley High School is built upon the following aims: 1. Counseling: To assist a pupil in imderstand- ing himself through his intellect ual capacities and through his social, moral and economic rela tionships in society and to make effective adjustments to his en vironment. 2. Information: To assist a pupil in gaining a knowledge of occupations and oc cupational relationships, to have available information about offer ings of colleges and other voca tional schools and information on scholarships that are available for high school students. 3. Placement; To aid a pupil in the making of his schedule of courses, changes in his schedule, and assist pupils in selection of extra class actM- ties and with the aid of the D.O. teacher to assist a student in se curing employment. 4. Follow-Up: What extent do pupils use guid ance services; what extent the ex tra class activities and curriculum are meeting the needs of the pupils; what extent are pupils orientated to the school situation; what extent are pupils failing in school and why. 5. Individual Inventory: Keeping active data about pu pils: personal data blanks and cumulative folders. These services are available to all students at Dudley. If a stu dent 'wishes to come to the office of the counselor, he may do so by obtaining permission from his subject teacher if he is scheduled for a regular class period at the time. Mrs. A. T. Solomon is Guidance Counselor here, ,— 0 M. H. S. Acquaints StudentsWith Project The member of the National Honor Society with the aid of the advisor, Mrs, H. C.

The Teachers—Did he bring you brilliant students like, Jacque line Florence, Margaret Wynn, Toni Douglas, Harold Hariston, Alphonzo Stewart, Walter Harri son, and Annie Suber, or did he bring you ones of impudence.

Cloilung for Men and Bays Jefferson Standard Building Dudley, Students Attend (onterence Four representatives of the Dud- le Fapiily Life classes went to the annual State Family Life Con ference at Charlotte. Students at tending the conference were, Mary Cardwell, John McLaughlin, Cath erine Bruner and Walter Johnson, all seniors. The theme of the con ference was “Demonstrations and Discussions on Enriching Inter and Intra Family Relationships.” Stu dents heard and talked with such distinguished persons in the field of Family Life Education as Dr, Ruben Hill, Dr. Irwin Sperry, Dr. George A. Douglas and others. Some topics under discussion were, “Family Life in Elementary School,” “Education in Reproduc tion,” “Juvenile Court” and “Post Marital Counseling.” The students felt that they learned a great deal on the education of people in all the aspects of Family Life. It was the common feeling of all, that Family Life should be-taught more extensively in public schools. The group was taken to the conference by Mrs. H. C. Jeffries who is past secretary of the N. C. State Family Life Council and who was elected to serve as a member of this coimcil for two more years. o Student Forum Progresses For the first time in the history of our school, the Dudley Student Forum has become a member of the State Organization of Student Councils in Secondary Schools. The present Forum has about 13 members ranging from the Sophomore to the Senior classes. This we feel is not a sufficient number of students to carry on the job of governing a school as large as Dudley. For this reason the Forum imder the leadership of Mr. -F. J. Brown and Mrs. J. J. Goldsborough, faculty advisors and William Bell, Prtsident, is in the process of revamping the present constitution in prd^ that Dudley might have a Student Council as all other top-rated secondary schools have. Dudley is the only leading high school that doesn’t have a Student Council. Being a charter member of the state organization, this is important. The Student Council which we hope to have before the end of this school year will follow the pattern of our National Govern ment in-as-much-as there will be a Senate and a House of Repre sentatives. Other officers this year include Mary Doggett, Vice-President; Jacqueline Florence, Secretary; Al phonse Stewart, Parliamentarian and Joanne Simmons, Reporter. 0 Mr. Osborne During the holiday season, the spirit of Christmas shown by many was encouraging in that there were signs of kindness, giving and rendering service even to unknown persons. The Panther’s Claw Staff wishes to take this opportunity to en courage students, living in Besse mer section, to patronize the Mat- lock Grocery Store, for Mr. Os borne was one of those who went out of his way to render service without thought of reward.

Time after time Johnson, as most boys would say ‘knocked them.” Through most of the game, they fought off this deficit and went on to win a very magnificent and well deserved game. The game was almost as thrilling as the sur prisingly large crowd that came out to root for their favorite team. This game not only marked the opening of the season for Dudley, but it was the first game on the Dudley schedule to be played at the magnificent Senior High Gym nasium. I am sorry to say that the preliminary game played by the Junior Varsity was lost by our team, but our hopes were restored as soon as the second game was over. Dudley Versus Hillside Dudley playing its second game of the season against Hillside High of Durham lost by the score of 53-52. In the third quarter Dudley’s defense began to falter, while the opposing team’s began to strength en, A late comeback failed to re- linguish the Hillside score, the high point men for Dudley were Charles James and Jerome Mc- Adoo with 18 and 12 points re spectively. Dudley Over Burlington Playing an outclassed Burling ton team, Dudley ran up its high est score of the young season in beating them by the score of 67 to 43. Taking the lead at the begin ning of the game, Dudley always maintained it ranging from 10 to 12 points throughout the game. Charles James and Phillip Cole led the team to an easy victory. Dudley Over Burlington—^Again Playing home this time, Burling ton stood their ground and defied the powerful Dudleyites but soon A Trip Abroad Through Pictures The lOA class had the pleasude of, taking a trip abroad and visiting such outstanding places as Ger many, Holland, England, and Prance. This was all done the last period in the evening. How did we manage to do this? It was easily done. One of the members of the class, Elizabeth Napper, introduced us to her aunt Mrs, Bernice Norwood, a graduate of Dudley and Bennett. Mrs. Nor wood has been abroad among many others in her field of social work. Through the showing of pictures taken on Mrs. Norwood’s trip we saw many outstanding places. The beautiful garden spots of France, parts of Paris the Right and Left Bank. We visited the highest peak in Germany and some of the out door cafes. These historical places and monuments have brought to life our studies of foreign lands. Her picture post cards, film strips, etc., were of great interest and the class really enjoyed it. the door was slanuned in their faces and Dudley went on to win a much better played game than the pre-vious one. The score this time was 47 to 34 in favor of Dudley. The Cole, James and Young trio made sure that victory would be for them. Langston High—^Danville, Va. After two consecutive wins, the Dudley team was cooled down by a very powerful team of Langston High of Danville. The Langston team continuously made their shots from the outside and their plays were even more dazzling. They played a hard game all the way and the we/>k defense of Dud ley made it easier for them to emerge as the victors. The only bright spots for Dudley were Phil lip Cole and Adam Johnosn, who made 16 and 10 points in that order. Atkins Wins 2nd Straight Atkins High of Winston Salem, a long and bitter foe of Dudley in football and basketball, took the honors in basketball this year by beating Dudley by the score of 45 to 40. The fast break proved very effective for Atkins and they also ruled the backboards most of the time. The Junior Varsity boys also lost by one point to the fresh men team. Outstanding in defeat was Adam Johnson who led the scoring -with 20 points, Robert Harriston led the Junior Varsity with 10 points. Beasley, Young, Lead Victory Led by a second stringer, Ru dolph Beasley and James Young who had 24 and 12 points respect ively, the Dudley Varsity team bounced back after two defeats by beating William Penn of High Point, 56 to 43. Dudley’s shooting and dazzling plays coupled with a supreme domination of the back- boards made -victory a sure thing. The Junior Varsity also -Won their game by 5 points led by Norman Little. The varsity’s record fur is 4 -wins and 3 defeats, the Junior Varsity’s is also 4 and 3. Rudolph Beasley has made more points in one game than any other player, 24 and Adam Johnson is second with 20. Beasley Stars Again—Dudley Wins Rudolph Beasley, playing first string now, by virtue of his 24 points against High Point, teamed up with teammates Charles James and Adam Johnson to bring -vic tory to Dudley over Carver High of Winston Salem. Beasley, James and Johnson had 22, 15 and 11 points respectively. Dudley’s dy namic shooting and backboard nomination proved to be the main factor in victory. The Junior Var sity also won the preliminary game led by 'ITiomas Willianison and James McNair. The Varsity final score was 57 to 43. The game fit ted the occasion at beautiful Sen ior High Gymnasiiun. MBS. TAYLOR’S RECOVERY All the many friends of Mrs. A. J.
