PAGE SIX THE BLACKBEBD, ROCKY MOUNT SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL TUESDAY, APRIL 26, 1955 BSA Attend Camporee Many local scouts attended the annual camporee for the Boy Scouts of America in Washington, N. C., April 22, 23, 24. Boys at camporee participated in many event such as pioneering, signalling, rope tieing, obstacle course, measuring first aid, and general campsite layout. Ribbons for winning or placing in any of these events were awarded blue for first place, red for second, and white for third. Local scouts from troops 7,11,- 577, and 152 were represented. Charles Daughtridge and Bobby Savage helped with the judging of events. Sandy Thorpe and Prank Wilkinson helped in area head quarters. Other advanced scouts were active in similar positions. Camporee are conducted each year to find out just what a scout knows and to permit the scouts to put to use their special knowledge. Before the official outing this year many patrols and troops had a “preview camporee”, a patrolo- Buck Overton “A Good Place To Dine” ree. This provided good practice, since it was operated in the same manner as the regular camporee. The same events were participat ed in and the rules were just as sti'ict. Last year the camporee was in Rocky Mount and most of the local troops and patrols won blue ribbons in at least one event. Camporee has been in Rocky Mount once before this too.

Most recent in these odd hap penings took place last week when the fifth period senior home ec. class prepared to cook. During ac tivity period, Lucinda Oliver and Audrey Kennedy, who were in charge of baking a lemon merin gue pie, went in the room and baked one. Since it was time for lunch, they put the pie on the shelf in the corner, covered it with wax paper and thought the pie had been left in good hands. After the group with whom they were working had finished the meal, Lucinda went over to get the pie. It was in good hands all right, the hands of a million tiny red ants! Since a little ant has never been known to hurt anyone, she just knocked them all off and served the pie as if nothing had ever happened. Some of the other girls not eat ing in her group saw what had happened and when everyone had finished the pie to the last crumb, they let out the news. Things were in a riot from then on. Er win Robbins, Marty Purvis, and Charlotte Jones kept complaining about little things that seemed to be crawling around in their tum mies. Hammond, BOM Because of his actia’e interest in school and other affairs, Flaye Hammond has been chosen Ki- wanis Boy-of-the-Month tor April. A member of Miss Grant’s homeroom, he was the Student Organization representative from there in his freshman year and again this year. Last year, Playe was a member of THE BLACKBIRD staff and he was recently tapped into the Na tional Honor Society. Another field in which Flaye ex cels is football. He was on the B- squad for his freshman and sopho more years and season before last he graduated into the squad. To start this column, we would like to summarize a new Decca LP, Eddie Condon’s Jazz Concert. Condon, a man who has been around a long time and knows his jazz, has combined a group of outstanding musicians to put out this platter, which we consider a masterpiece. The selections include “Im promptu Ensemble No. 1, “an orig inal composition by him and “Sheik of Araby,” “Farewell Blues”, “Stars Fell on Alabama”, “Just You Just Me”, “Atlanta Blues", “The Way You Look To night”, and “Some Sunny Day”, all played in the typical Dixie land style of Condon. Jack Teagarden, an old master on the trombone, usually handles the vocals when such are called for. Other than Eddie Condon on the guitar and Jack Teagarden on the trombone, some of the outstanding musical personalities are Max Kamanisky, Bill Davidson, Bobby Hackett, and Billy Butterfield on the trumpet; Pee Wee Russell and Joe Dixon on the clarinet; Bud Freeman on the tenor sax; Joe Bashkin, James Johnson, and Gene Schrodron the piano; Dave Tough and George Wettling on the drums; and Bob Haggart and Jack Lesbery on the string bass. For fine listening, to the Dixie land enthusiast, this can’t be top ped. Gerry Mulligan “the boy what usta didn’t use a piano” has be come coniventional with his “Ten- tette” and this particular album contains “R o c k e r,” “Ontet”, “Flash”, “Simbah”, “A Ballad”, “Westwood Walk”, and ‘Walking Shoes”, all good examples of Mul- ROSENBLOOM- LEVY INC.
