During the course of first sem- tster home econimics each stu dent has to cook many different kinds of food. These pupils are usually divided in groups of five and work in the various kitchen units, preparing different ■ dishes. When they complete this particu lar part of the course they have cooked all three meals. Always after the cooking and eating a meal, there comes the S67.50 NG CASi INCLUDED |te-lious task or washing the dishes. ;Pat Alexander and Jo Ann Bu3’ns ; don’t mind this job now, since it’s j left up entirely to the new electric I dishwasher.

Karris Conservatory Of Music 230 Tarboro St. Phone 6-5667 Piano - Voice - Organ or Class Beginner or Advanced Full 2 year college course Free Scholarship A dreadful, horrible, frightening thing happened in room'110 last Wednesday. A murder was com mitted and a student actually played yo-yo with the victim. Bst let me start at the beginning.... It was a cool crisp day and the fourth period journalism students \wre full of pep and energy. Some were lying half way on top of their, desks and some were sitting at a 165 degree angle. The teacher was sitting at her desk giving them facts about feature stories. That’s all, just the facts. Nothing but the' facts. The facts are what count, you know. ' Girl Is Speechless! Suddenly a girl gasped and Is It Alive? Students wandered into Miss Boice’s fifth period art class dur ing the week before the National Education Week Parade and came lut with questions something like this; Wliat is it? Is it alive? Did 'i‘t come from Mars? Where is the rest of it? No, they weren’t talking about anything alive, even though it looked it. These students were talking about a giant hand, repre senting the hand of a teacher, con- ‘tn'^;ed for one of the parade floats and sponsored by the local educational units. Over four yards of forty-inch wide went into the huge project. A small w'ood frame started the hand. Over this frame came wire and next the paper and paint. fh the giant hand were a small boy and girl representing school children. They, too, were made of wire and paper. After the hand was completed, letter he float were painted to designate its meaning. No student could complain of boredom while this project was under way. Miss Boice says, “The job was rather messy but a lot .of fun.” started pointing violently into the air. Her voice left her speechless. The teacher looked up and she too started pointing into the air, un able to utter a word. They had seen what was about to happen. The murderer was descending quietly upon his victim, Charles Bateman. Oharle.s turned and looked around him fearfully. He knew by the way the students were acting that something w’as about to hap- pento him. Then he looked up, and a malicious grin crossed his face. The tables were turned now. He picked up an object from his desk ^nd began to tease his foe by nrnfh'ng him with it. But his enemy came down even more swiftly by his'self-made rope. Charles Plays Yo-Yo Charles jumped up and broke the rope, and because he was a brgger man than his foe, took the rope with his victim still hanging on the end, over to the trash can and started playing yo-lo with hmi. After he tired of the game, he dropped the rope and all into H'e tra.sh can. The victim—a =piier on his web! Barbara Winstead I DRUMMOND’S FLORIST 119 N. JVrain St. Rocky Mount, N. C.
