PAGE 4 The blackbird, rocky mount high'school TUESDAY, OCTOBER 30, 19§1 Here are three good “Rebels”—They are Dudley Whitley, Wayne Hux and Fred Lee displaying their “Southern Spirit”—“Oh! I wish I “was in Dixie ... !” ^Are You From Dixie?’ Around the Campus BARBARA and BOBBITT Back To School Go RM Parents “Puff!” “Where’s room 109?” “Ls this the typing room?” “Oh! I’m lost!” Are these the words of a fresh man? No! A new student? No!— Then they must be the words of parents who returned, to school for the annual P. T. A. back to school program, November 17. Approximately 750 parents were welcomed “back to school” by Mr. C. M. Edson in the RMHS auditor ium. After a short business session part of a letter stressing “Court esy Week” were read by four stu dents. Mr. Edson then explained the schedule which parents would follow. He explained that they would follow the schedule of their children. These “students” were then dis missed and they went to their homerooms. From the homeroom they went to first, second, and third periods. During the next period—activity period—parents went to the clubs to which their children belonged. Then on the fourth and fifth periods went the “students.” After “school” was dismissed the student body was invited to a refreshment hour in the cafeteria.

SEE OUR NICE ASSORTMENT OF CAMERAS BARRINGER’S All over town the true Southern ers can be seen displaying their Southern spirit. The flag of Dixie —the good old Confederate flag— is on all types of cars ranging from Cadillacs to Model A’s. Stick ers of the f lag are spread out over the windshileds. Little kids on bikes and tricycles have their own flags blowing in the breeze. The Southern belles show their spirit by wearing kerchiefs with the Confederate flag’ design, Of course, the Southern “gentle men” doesn’t want to be out done by the gals, so he wears ties with the flag of Dixie painted on it. His than one person was completely lost, but to some “pupils” it was just like another day. They had re turned now after many years away. Some of the teachers could even remember teaching the parents of some of the pupils who now at tend school at R. M. H. S. In this “open house” parents learned what their children do and have to go through each day. This is done to bring about a better un- dferstanding among parents, teach ers, and students.

Maoin Street Authorized Hot Point Dealers tie clip has a miniature-flag hang ing from it and his cuff links also have the flag on them. The flag of the South also gets painted on jack ets, books, and any other available object. The favorite “Dixie” can be heard over the radio or being whist led by the Southerner. Everywhere one goes the signs that the South is rising again can be seen and heard. The fad of the Confederacy has surely taken ov«r >i«w» in the South and since RMHS' is one of the South’s strongest ‘forts” it has gone ‘wild” in showing its Southern spirit!
