Senior Class News
9Y MARGARET PARRISH
What’s in view this week? Well,
let’s take a look into the future. As
far as can be seen ahead, there’s a
trip being planned in the Senior Class.
The destination? Raleigh, of course.
The legislature will be in action and
the Class of ’53 will be watching. All
of this » planned for January 28,1953,
which will be after all of the exams
are passed.
Work on the annual is in full swing
now. Everybody’s collecting pictures
to be used and getting their money in
order to purchase one of the best
annuals ever to be published at E.H.S.
The girl up for discussion this week
is Marian Jeanette Goodwin, daugh
ter of Mr. and Mrs. J. Wallace Good
win, Route 1, Edenton, where Mr.
Goodwin is a farmer. Marian was
born in Chowan County on October
30, 1934.
Marian was voted by her fellow
classmates as Best All Around. To
back up this statement, here are some
of the altivities in which she partici
pates. She is a member of the Girls’
Monogram Club and has held this hon
or for four years. She is Treasurer
of the FHA Chapter, and is serving
her fourth year as member of that.
Marian has played basketball four
■years, and was in the High School
Band for three years.
Marian was also voted as best
dressed girl of the Class of ’53. She
likes to eat, dance, attend movies, and
date. It was discovered that most
of her dating time was absorbed by
a certain Rocky Hock lad.
lAit present, Marian is employed by
Cuthrell’s Department Store. 'After
graduation, she hopes to attend East
Carolina College where she will take
up commercial courses. She plans to
go into secretarial work.
Marian is a member of the Edenton
Baptist Church. She is active in her
YJWJA., of which she is Treasurer,
ft looks as if Marian has had a busy
life and will certainly make the mostj
out of the coming years.
Frank Gray Halsey, son of Mr. and
Mrs. I. E. Halsey, Sr., was bom on
November 11, 1933. 'Frank was born
in Chotvan County, and, at prestnt,
lives on Route 3. Mr. Halsey is em
ployed by the Edenton Electric and
Water Department.
Frank tells us that his hobby is
girls. However, it was discovered
that there’s really only one on his
list. If he has time for more after
all those hours with Jean, more luck
to him, but usually it’s Jean you see
him with.
'Frank is a member of the Stagecraft j
Club. In fact, he is Treasurer. He'
is also a bus driver. Frank says he
likes everything including music, par
ties, movies and attending basketball
games. Evidently, he likes mysterious
nicknames too. His, by the way, hap
pens to be “W. D.” and he won’t tell
a soul how it came about.
Frank is a member of the Macedonia
Baptist Church. His plans for the
•future are incomplete. However, he
is now employed at the Halsey Feed &
Seed Store. Best of luck, Frank, in
making your decision for that lifelong
occupation.
The search for truth is the high
est form of human endeavor.

‘Electric Eyes’ Teach
Gunnery To AA Men
Training Device Saves
Millions of Dollars
For Taxpayers
The Army has taken a cue from
amusement park owners to save the
'taxpayers more than $10,000,000 (M)
'a year.
I The Anti-Aircraft Artillery Replace
ment Training Center at Fort Bliss,
■ Texas, is using two electronic devices
—something like Hie gun-target ma
chines in your favorite amusement
'park—to teach soldiers correct aim
ling and firing techniques before
actually fire live ammunition on tne
I range.
The devices are automatic weapons
j tr&inecg—equipped with .50-caliber
i and 40-millimeter guns—which fire
| an estimated average of 2,344,790 (M)
rounds of “ammunition” each month.
The cost of that live ammunition
'would be about $835,014.
The usual monthly cost for the
electrical operation of the automatic
weapons trainers is S4O, so use of the
trainers saves the taxpayer $834,974
per month —or $10,019,088 (M) a year.
In the .50-caliber machinegun train
er, an airplane target is shown on
the screen with motion
picture projectors.
The trainee, wearing special glass
es, sees the target in a third-dimen
sional effect —with a perception of
distance —just as he would if he were
firing live ammunition at actual tar
gets.
The trainee “fires” at the target
with the .50-caliber machinegun.
Tracers projected on the screen show
the lines of fire and the gunner is
able to see how close he came to the
target.
Recorded sound effects give all the
noises of actual firing along with the
roar of the airplane engines.
The system for the 40-millimeter
gun is similar except that a dual pro
jection system is used. A small white
dot appears to show the trainee where
his gun is pointing in relation to the
target.
During later phases of training,
the dot is made invisible and the gun
ner must rely solely on the gun sight'
and his own ability to keep on the tar
get. ' An electronic device records
the number of rounds fired.
The trainers develop skilled gun-,
ners in record time with a minimum '
expenditure of ammunition and mil-i
lions saved for the taxpayer.
