Christmas Plans, Already? Planning for Christmas al ready? Yes, Good Sport Club memb€rs plan to make an outdoor scene to put in front of the school during the holidays next year. The scene will be Santa Calus sitting in a sports car loaded with gifts. Since this project will take several months to construct, the club will begin working immedia tely after completing semester exams. Selling Easter corsages is also included in spring plans of the club. Members of the Monogram Club are most helful at basketball games. They announce names of players of both the home and visiting teams. Advising this group are Mr. A. Malloy McGregor and Mr. C. V. Lundy. All service clubs helped with the Polio Dance at the Masonic Temple last night. | Six Seniors Take Exams First Time Some people have all the luck, but it appears that luck just ran out for six seniors who have to take exams regardless! Because of a school ruling that all seniors must take first sem ester exams, Judy Brown, Allen Cronenberg, David Harper, Glenn Lee Hill and Blount Taylor took senior high exams for the first time this week. Dan Robbins has only taken one exam before, but he would not have had to do so if the course had permi'tted exemp tions. His semester average on the subject was A as far as his three six-iweek term grades were con cerned. Now, these five boys and one girl kno-w how the “plebians” feel. -Note Exchange Notes. Snakes, ‘Black Books’ Put Variety in Exchange Column by Carol Threatt Five Points Drug Store Drugs, Soda Fountain Cosmetics Phone 2-7127 123 Tarboro St. Looks Tasty? _ Yum-m-m! Barbara Dew, Kay Parker, and Frances McGee prepare platters of refreshment for the open house sponsored by the home economics class last week. Photo hy Kliiebrew Snakes, “little black books”, mistletoe, and poems provide an unusual variety for the Exchange Column this month. How do these things figure in the exchange papers? Well, three students at New Hanover High School in Wilmington collect some unusual items for hobbies. George Wheelis has a collection of 13 snakes (of all things!) which in clude rattle-snakes, copperheads, and water snakes. Many people colleot records (that’s not so different), but Robert Hatch has a collection of approximately 700 records (that’s unusal, I’d say, wouldn’t you?) consisting of every type of music from jazz to sym phony. An amazing hobby of Jane Bond is a collection of dates in a “little black book”. This, she say.s, helps her remember when certain things are to be dene. Not a bad idea, huh? Kissing LTnder Mistletoe? An article in The Rambler from Norwood High School reminds us of the origin of “kissing under mistletoe”. This custom dates back to ancient Gaul and Britain and was venerated by the pre- Christian religrious society of Druids. It was gathered during the celebration of winter soltice and was conisidered an emblem of peace and good forture. When enemies met underneath, they em braced, thus the custom of kiss ing under the mistletoe. (How many of you knew this joyful tradition had such a beginning?)
