Face siit ICtLE BLACKBIRD, ROCKY MOUNT SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 19, 1957 Council Workshop Features Science, Math Authorities Featuring a program of noted scientists, mathematicians, and educators from business and ed ucational fields, the PTA Council Workshop met in the auditorium of Senior High, Pebruairy 5, at 7:30 p. m. Special exhibits were on dis play in the auditorium lobbies and halls, showing the result of the courses in the local schools, and the use of science and matii knowledge in the many business fields open for young people to day. Dr. E. A. Cameron of the Uni versity of North Carolina spoke on “Opportimties in Math Today”. Dr. S. B. Knight, also of the Uni- V€rsttiyv stressed the need of peo ple trained in science and ohiem- istry. Mr. C. E. Brivott of the Senior High faculty explained how these subjects were taught and emphasized in the local system. Dr. R. E. Wilfong from the Du pont plant in Kinston told of the industrial need for young people tiioroughly trained in these fields. After the program was . over, this reporter asked several of the parents the question, “Did the workshop change your opinion of math and science for high school students?” The parents interview ed were of the same opinion; they had always thought math and science should be stressed in high school because it can be used in later life and the workshop only helped them realize this more.

From beginning to end, here’s what happens. Members are as signed beats to cover by the edi tor, (A beat is a route to cover for the latest news.) After “beat sheets” are in, articles are as signed to reporters. Page editors’ headaches start after they have drawn “layouts” (blueprints of their pages). Arti cles don’t pan out; some must be “killed” Committed) for various reasons. Deadlines make everyjbody rush to write, check, rewrite, and type articles and compose headlines. As articles come in (sometimes late), the paper begins to take shape. Somewhere in the rush, the art editor finds time to work with the cameiuman. The advertising man ager sees that all ad copy is on the rigiht page. Finally, the paper goes to the printer, but until the staff sees the paper actually] in print, their worries aren’t over. So, most of the work the staff does is “behind the pages” with plenty of headaches. Homiever, after all this rush and work, the staff unanimously votes, “We love it.” BLUE BIRD TAXI Dial 6-8191 309 6o. Main St. 24 CABS 24 HR. SERVICE Rose-Buick Co. Sales and Service 600 S. Wash.
