She gave the welcome, "Star

"A Night to Remember" was given
by Boule Dale Garner.
Judy Slaughter gave a humorous
speech "Rendesvous Gossip", fol
lowing that. The last speech on
the program waa "Stairway to the
Stars," given by Johnny Mason.
After the speeches were finished,
we were entertained with two
solos, "Star Dust", sung by Gene

Fire" sung by Pat Corbett
Johnny Mason presented gilts to
the seniors, which were little fun
ny things to remind them of some
funny incident during their high
school years. Mrs. Perry Cart
way's seventh grade presented a
song "Swinging on a Star", and
imitated several of the senior class
members.
After the program we were treat

"Stardusters" from Wilson fur

After everyone had finished eat

out on the floor to dance.
Never have you seen such an
array of pretty girls, handsome
boys, and beautiful evening gowns.
Yes, it was truly a night worth
watting for and one that will be
long remembered.

By JOIIN O. B. WALLACE
Complete separation of living and
sleeping areas is achieved in this
ranch house by a unique adapta
tion of the split level idea to a
single level house.
Instead of splitting the areas by
the use of higher and lower levels,
the split idea is carried out by a
front-to-back arcade which slices
through the center of the house.
The end result of the plan, de
signed especially for the lions* of
the Week series and designated
X-8, is a sharp division of activity
and sleeping areas.
The arcade, itself, is split into
three parts ? a covered entry, an
entry {oyer and an outdoor living
patio ? and all parts are sheltered
by a roof.
Architect Samuel Paul, who cre
ated design X-8, got his inspiration
for the underlying concept of this
plan from a quotation of obscure
or unknown origin:
"Neither shall their sleep be dis
turbed nor their activity be cur
tailed."
"This sums it up," Paul says,
adding :
"One unit consists of rooms
where work, dining, recreation,
conversation and activity of one
sort or another la going on. The
activity in this area varies from
noixy in the family room to sub
dued sounds in the living room.
"The other unit consists of sleep
ing rooms where quiet and privaey
are the prime requisites."
Contrasting Use of Space
In his arrangement, the architect
has made contrasting use- of apace
within the two principal areas.
An open plan prevails in the ac
tivity area, whereas the sleeping
area ia enclosed by sharply defined
walls.
In the activity area, all five
rooms flow into each other in a
circle of open apace.
The circle starts at the entrance
foyer, curves toward the living and
dining rooms, then into the infor
mal dining and family room, the
kitchen and the coffee room? then
back to the entrance foyer.
The curve of the circle ia broken
occasionally by aceordian parti
tions.
The dining room can be ahut off
from the informal dining -family
room by one partition; the coffee
room can be closed off from the
entrance foyer by another parti
tion.
Thus the partitions close off the
work and noisy areas from the for
mal, quieter area.
In the sleeping area, planned
carefully for maximum privacy,
Engineers Set Hurricane
Hearing Date for June 16
A public bearing on hurricane
studies affecting the area from
Carteret County and tbe coastal
areas of Onslow, Pender and New
Hanover Counties down to Wrights
ville Beach is scheduled to be held
by the Corps of Engineers at Beau
fort June 16 at 10:30 a.m. at the
school.
Announcement of the hearing
was made Tuesday by Col. H. C.
Rowland Jr., district engineer of
the Corps' Wilmington District.
Colonel Rowland will preside and
will be assisted by staff engineers
in conducting the hearing.
The Beaufort hearing is one of
several being held in the state's
coastal area for the purpose of
assembling information on dam- .
ages imposed by hurricanes and '
measures to prevent such dam
ages.
Colonel Rowland explained that
Public Law 71 authorizes and di
rects the Secretary of the Army, 1
in cooperation with the Secretary
of Commerce and other Federal
agencies concerned with hurri
canes, "to cause an examination
and survey to be made of the
eastern and southern seaboard of
the United States with respect to
hurricanes with particular refer
ence to areas where severe dam
ages have occurred."
This phase constitutes the pre
liminary examination which will
determine if a detailed survey is
warranted.
He said further that the law pro- I
vides that the survey be made un
der direction of the Corps of En
gineers and "shail include the se
curing of data on the behavior
and frequency of hurricanes, and
the determination of methods of
forecasting their paths and im
proving warning services, and of
possible means of preventing loss
of human lives and damage to
property, with due consideration
of the economics of proposed
breakwaters, seawalls, dikes,
dams, and other structures, warn
ing services or other measures
which might be required."
The district engineer added that
all interested persons are urged
to be present or represented in
cluding federal, state, county,
municipal agencies, and commer
cial, civic, highway interests and
property owners concerned.
They will be afforded full oppor
tunity to express their views con
House Design Calls
Foe Eight Rooms
House of the Week design has
eight rooms, 2Vi baths and foyer.
The living area includes living
room with attached outdoor living
patio, dining room, informal din
ing-family room, kitchen, coffee
room and lavatory. Three bed
rooms and two baths are in the
sleeping area. The overall dimen
sions of the house are 36 by 61
feet. A minimum plot 80 by 100
feet is recommended. There are
1,732 sq. ft. in the living and sleep
ing areas. The covered entry has
90 sq. ft., the entry foyer 144 sq.
ft., and the outdoor living patio
140 sq. ft.
the master bedroom is secluded
from all other bedrooms and from
all other parts of the house.
A bank of closets on one wall
creates a buffer between the out
door living patio and the master
bedroom. Another wall has stag
gered studs for insulation to make
it sound resistant.
A bending bedroom hall likewise
contributes to privacy ? no bed
room door is visible from the en
trance foyer, and the hall bath, ar
tificially ventilated, has its en
trance door concealed.
Glassed-in Entrance Foyer
In the arcade, a covered entry
leads to the glassed-in entry foyer.
Here you can look through a glass
wall to the outdoor living patio and
beyond into a garden.
The kitchen separates the family
and coffee rooms ? and a two
way fireplace separates the living
and dining rooms.
Construction economies are
achieved by building the sleeping
area over crawl space. The arcade
is slab on grade with slate floor
ing. A full basement is below the
living area.
Exterior details include a simple
roof line, vertical wood siding with
large window areas, and roof
overhanga. Brick or stone may be
substituted for the exterior if de
sired.
Optional materials are possible
for the roof; use either tabbod
down asphalt shingles or built-up
roof lag with marble chip finish.
