Ex-Editor Likes Navy Below are some excerpts from d letter to the adviser of the Blackbird from Jimmy Carter, the }949>60 editor of the paper, who is now in the navy. ‘‘He says “I really like life out at sea. Living on land can never compare with it as far as I am concerned.” At th* tim« of the letter he was “PLACE STUDENTS GO” Bulluck Clothing Company “BRANDS THEY KNOW" Newell’s Jewelers 230 Tarboro St. ROCKY MOUNT, N. C. ALMAND'S Rocky Mount's Exclusive Cut-Rate DRUG STORE SODA FOUNTAIN LUN0HE5ONETTE Wild Rose A Success; Characters Score Hit “Wild Rose,” a musical comedy, was presented through the com bined efforts of the music, dra matic, and physical education de partments and the Student Or ganization on the night of April 4. This was the second try at such a combination and both proved successful. The stage set was decorated to look like the living room of Mrs. Dora Valentine. The entire program of songs was good but the one that seemed to have lingered is “Love is Like an Auto mobile.” This song was sung by Nancy Leehane, Brenda Stafford; Elizabeth Bateman, Imogene; Pat sy McAuley, Clarabelle; Albert Parker, Luther Valentine; and Al bert Rabil, Norman Stafford. The other main characters were Val McMillan, Jean Cooper, Chris tine Hufham, Bernard Taylor, Lloyd Thrower, Jeanette Holmes, Grace Strange, Louis Booth, June Cockrell and Mary Ayscue. The sponsors of the musical asked for good audience behavior so that the actors could do their best. In the end it turned out that the audience behavior was as good as the actors playing. Both were excellent. stationed just off the coast of Col umbia. He told something about a few of the IfTlaces he has visited. La Guara, Cafacus, and the places around these cities. He said, “The setting alone for Caracus is enough to make your mouth drop open in wonderment. It is located in a valley that runs east and wrist and the mountains on all sides are so high that they are capped by perpetual clouds. It is indeed a beautiful city. The city itself could easily be mistaken for a Roman town in the time of Nero in the old section while the new section is more modern than any American city that I have ever seen.” While Jimmy’s outfit was in Caracus, they were entertained by the members of the American Colony, which has about 35,000 members. “They gave us a big banquet and a dance for which they furnished girls. Most all of them were Americans although some of them had not been in the states for as many as 15 years,” continued Jimmy. Note New Hair Styles Of The Boys And Girls Around RMHS Campus Around RMHS new hair styles are as important as a new hat. With the approaching of hot weather the horse-tail has become very popular with the girls. Bar bara Futch and Anna K. McDonald are two who boast these attrac tive manes. Marie Tyler and Peggy Dietzel are sure to be cool this summer with their close cropped hair cuts. Shirley Robbins is another at tractive Miss with her hair pulled back with a perky little bow. Blond hair seems to be becom ing popular again. While the girls seem to stick to blond streaks, the boys seem to prefer theirs com pletely brond. By the way, the boys aren’t taking a backseat in hair ^tyles either. The square cut can be seen on a few. They’re also way ahead of the girls in coolness as Charlie Putman demonstrates by his crew cut. With the hot weather so near, we predict that many girls and boys alike will appear at school with new and shorter hair cuts.

Blackbird Staff (Continued from page 1) When this is done, the persons on each page start the layouts. Each article is given a specific place on a page as a complete "blueprint” is made for the prin ter. Headlines are then made for each article. The work of laying out the paper usualy takes Thursday and Friday. Then the copy and dum my are sent to the publisher where THE BLACKBIRD is printed and is returned the following Tuesday for distribution to subscribers^ That’s all there is to it—until Thursday when it starts all over again. In addition to the general lay ing out of a paper, there are many other jobs which must be done, among them is the solicita tion of ads. Advertising pays a large amount of the cost of the non-profitable paper. Yes, the Blackbird is non-profitable. “Good afternoon, fellow stud ents, this is your roving reporter ready with the Easter news of RMHS. Although Easter was last Sunday most of the students are still discussing what everybody else wore and how nice they looked. Let’s go back to Sunday. Here we are in front of one of Rocky Mount’s biggest stores, S. H. Kress, where we will review the passing parade. Wow! Look at Mary Ann Braswell in a stunning navy blue checked taffeta dress. She really can make people stop and look twice. Beryl Peters is wearing a lovely brown suit. Here comes Nancy Parry and Tam Holliday who both have on new suits. Nancy’s is natural linen and Tam’s is grey. How pretty they are! Dusters seem to be very popular this season because coming down Main Street we see Alice Barnes and Barbara Ann Kinsaul with new dusters, looking very trim, we must say!
