Friendly, Helpful, That’s Kay
One of the more outstanding
seniors is tall, personaible Kay
Finch who is now secretary of the
student body. This clamaxes the
awards she has won since her fresh
man year.
When a freshman, Kay was a
member of the debating club, was
on the social committee, and won
the Civitan Citizenship Award.
Kay is very active in dramatics,
having taken part in three pro
ductions last year, and already
appearing in two this year. She
won the “I speak for Democracy”
contest both her sophomore and
junior years. Last year she reach
ed the regional finals before losing
out to Jeanne-Mann Dickinson, who
later won the national contest.
She is" a member of the Hi-Noc-
Ar staff, having been elected her
junior year. She was also elected
to the Good Sports club that year
and now holds the position of
treasurer.
During her sophomore year she
edited and assembled the Student
Organization scrapbook, which won
second place in the state. She
was homeroom representative, a
member of debating club, and a
member of the social committee.
Kay was elected one of the
twelve most outstanding seniors
this year. She is active in church
works, being a memiber of the
First Baptist church. She also
works in the afternoons and on
Saturdays.
Pleasant, dependable, and never
SO busy that she doesn’t have time
to help you—^that’s Kay Finch.

BEST WISHES FROM
'Madame’ Joie? - Qui!
All is quiet around RMHS now
that the second semester is well
on its way, that is in every class'
but French L For three months
the whole class has been calling
Joy Jones, Mademoiselle.
A few days ago one of the girls
addressed Mademoiselle Craighill
with, “We’ve got a new Madame.
One besides Madame Marilyn
Ezzlle.”
The whole class was thrown in
to utter confusion!
“Une autre Madame?”
“Gui!”
“Qui!”
“Mademoiselle Joie Jones!”
“Vraiment?” “Quand?”
“Since November,” Joy told the
class.
Miss Craighill, upon seeing her
mistake, said to the whole class,
“And here we’ve been calling her
Mademoiselle for three months
and she was a Madame the whole
time. Triste, n’est-ce pas?”
Galling Cards Reveal
Seniors’ Full Names
•
Senior calling cards make con
versation among the members of
the class of 1952. Mr. Barbee, the
ring and card man, has delivered
the first batch of cards to a num
ber of seniors and more will arrive
before graduation.
Many seniors exchange their
cards so they might be able to re
member everyone who graduated
with them. Another interest in see
ing the cards is to find out the full
names of many students who have
never divulged them.

BARBARA and BOBBITT
Hello there, we are back again
to tell ya ‘whot’s happened’ to the
ole gang at RMHS since last issue.
People sho’ have been going
places lately. Betty Jean Spence
has gone to State-George Wash
ington and State-Duke games. Elva
Griffin and Wayne Hux were going
but ‘things’ interfered.
Emily Baker and Barbara Ann
Moore won first place in the
Kiwanis Talent Show for Edge
combe county. For this little item
of dancing they split $100 and both
of them get to go to New York.
Our congratulations go to ya gals,
Keep up the good work and rock
New York while you are on Tele
vision.
It seems now that Charlie Put
man is back and you can hear him
again that everybody missed him.
You sho’ have got a good tan,
Charlie! How about sharing it with
the snow white people around
RMHS?
Anna Day McDonald is going to
Dunn in about two weeks. Just one
little word Anna Kay, don’t forget
good ole Rocky Mount in all of
your fun in Dunn!
A - great big hearty welcome is
handed to the new typing teacher,
Miss Sanderson. We really do hope
you like RMHS as we do.
Maybe you all know by now but
if not, here goes. Fred Patton, our
editor, whom you hardly ever hear
from, was elected the Kiwanis Boy
of the Month. The whole staff and
school says, hats off to Fred, and
keep up the good work!
It looks like Tuesday and Friday
nights will be sort of dull now
that there aren’t many more games
ahead. Maybe more of the nights
will be taken uip with good pro
ductions like ‘Seven Keys to Ball-
pate.” We hope so anyway.
The whole cast of the play
enjoyed the party given in their
honor at the Teenage Cluib. The
play was a big success and all of
the staff and Mrs. Kramer are
really to be given a strong pat on
the back from all of us.
Congratulations are in order for
Christine Hufhan, for she won the
Statewide presidency of the'Y-Teen
Club.
Next time the column comes out,
we have a little surprise in store
for ya. So until next issue keep
light on thinking what it will be
. . . Until ‘then’ we are your
Around-the-Campus-gals—B & B.

“Does anyone in here have a
birthday this month?” Mrs. Young
asked her journalism class.
“I have.” Tamara Holliday an
swered.
“Me too.” responded Wilton
Holliday.
“Mine’s the 27th”, drawled Son
ny Hallford.
“It is?? Well, Hi, twin!!” said
Tam to Sonny.
“This is a coincidence, having
three birthdays, two on the same
day and all three people having the
same last initial.” said Mrs. Young.
“How old will you be?”
“Seventeen.” all three replied in
unison.
Mrs. Young had quite a time try
ing to tame that class down asi
everyone wanted to wish the
“Journalism Twins,” Wilton, and
all the February babies in school
a very happy birthday.
