PAGE SIX’ THE blact:cbird. rocky mount senior high school Yard Men Clean Campus Local taxpayers are probably wondering how the senior high has enough money to payy all the "yard men” that can be seen on. the campus nearly every after noon. Some work as “janitors”, sweep ing the rooms, dusting erasers, v/ashing boards, waxing desks and many other odd jobs. Why? Are they so interested in keeping their school clean? no! Theji are viola tors of school rules. Those who smoke outside the rejit rooms or are caught cho7jing gnm in school fall in this category. Students who can’t resist the temptation to skip classes are also put to work, usually for a longer time! This regulation puts all this wasted energy to work for the beautification of the school grounds. (Wonder what would happen if the teachers were late for a meeting, or were just a wee bit late for the tardy bell?) Call That Fun? Is hypnotism for real? Is it fun to have your mind read? Can any one really memorize that fast? Such questions as these and others are raised when the fam ous hypnotist, Dr. Franz Polgar, arrives in town. Billed as the world’s greatest one man show, Dr. Polgar’s “Fun With The Mind” program was presented last Friday in the school auditorium. This is the second such program sponsored in Rocky Mount by the Jaycees, and they felt that it is so good they guar anteed money back if not satis fied. Dr. Polgar opened the program with an amazing feat of memory. Then he did the hypnotising part of the program and many students a.nd other citizens were hypnotised into doing odd and amusing things. Oscar Taylor Attends Museum Meeting Bobby Wimberlej-. .student or ganization vice president who was chosen this monthls Kiwanis Boy- of-the-Month, has been quite ac tive since he enteretd high school.

Mrs. Van’s and Mrs. Massey’s students are each trying to excel in this work of art. After being in structed in the kinds of flowers that will dry out and still hold their color and how to aid nature in the drying process, the stu dents were told to find the flow ers, dry them, and then arrange them in attractive displays. Some of the arrangements are so small they are arranged in thimbles and some are as large and as beautiful as “store bought ones.” After studying the Anglo-Saxon and the medieval periods in Eng lish Literature, Mrs. Robbins’ ceniors were assigned projects written or otherwise. Some of the projects brought in are dolls dressed like the folk of the period, mead halls, swords and daggers, pictures of costumes, and houses of the era.

Here we are again letting others see through our specs to learn the news about school. Students certainly have shown a lot of school spirit lately I’ve noticed many at the football games. Under the direction of the cheer leaders, they really let the players know they are behind them too. A classic is the annual Rocky Mount - Wilson game, which is sure to draw a large crowd. The Students Store has reported an increase in business in the past few weeks. An average of two or three dollars is received each day. Sophomores really are getting in the swing of things. They show school spirit by attending the football games and cheering, supporting the Student Store, and leading in the magazine campaign. So much for now. I’ll see you in the next issue if the goblin’s don’t get you first! The “Four-Eyed Kat” Hey ’’Four Eyes” Have you heard about “Blithe Spirit”? It’s gonna be a great pro duction, I hear. All parts have been cast and the ushers and the stage crew picked, and now all we have to do is wait for the final perform ance. After all the work the House and Grounds Committee did to paint the lines on the parking area, workers came back to do a little more paving. Now all those pretty white lines and arrows are gone As a driver I surely do hope someone puts them back. These marks really simplified parking. The Fire Drill committee put up the signs in the homerooms to direct students when and if there’s a fire. All they have to do now is j compasses so we’ll know which way North-east semi-circle Is. All kidding aside, they really are a big help to the students. Until the Halloween Goblins get me. “Ole Eagle Eye” Bobby Wimberley, Boy-Of-The-Month To many students, Oscar Taji- lor is considered most lucky for having been chosen to attend the Southeastern Area Museiun Con ference in Miami, Florida, October 21-23. Oscar was given tins nonor be- caxise of his untiring work at the local children’s museum. This in terest and activity started when the museum was in the library and continues today in its new lo cation at Sunset Park. Taylor left for Miami last Tues day by auto with Mrs. Mae W. Bell, director of the children’s cuseum, and her mother. Prom here they went to Raleigh to pick up Mr. Hary Davis, director of the N. C. State Museum, who accom panied them to Miami for the con ference. On the return trip, in the little time they had left, they visited a few of the larger museums along the coast. It has been reported tnat their trip was Interesting and profitable, and the ideas they acquired would be used to better the facilities of the children’s museum here in Rockyi Mount.
