Interviewed At GHS
(Continued From Page 1)
He is not sure what he will do
now that he is through high school.
The University of Miami has of
fered him a scholarship in music
and he’s giving the offer serious
consideration. Coming from a
family of pronounced musical a-
bility, he has found himself “at
home” in marching bands, popular
orchestras, choirs, and quartets.
For three years he has earned ex
cellent or better ratings at the
North Carolina State Contests for
Solos and Ensembles, He plays
the baritone horn in marching
bands, drums in popular orches
tras, and signs tenor in a church
choir as well as in other vocal
groups.
Mr. Moss, who has worked at
the plant during his vacations, says
he would like to study medicine.
It remains to be seen which field
will exert the strongest attraction:
medicine or music.
