TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 18, 1958 THE blackbird. ROCKY MOUNT SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL Finding Fun In Work! Lefit Picture — Busily weld ing an antenna (a television antenna?) are Billy Melton and Butch Rose, members of the shop class. These boys, under the direction oi Mr. Neal Adkins, do many repair jobs also. Rig:ht Picture — “My Fair Lady” is here in Rocky Mount! All one has to do to verify this is slip into the band room and he’ll hear the straiiis or '‘Rain in Spain”. Shown here are Mr. James Roberts, director, helping Gene Eason with a solo part in this contest entry.

Money Makes Problems “We are fifty cents short,” breaks in treasurer Gale Koonce, “and all because Ann McCarver, our secretary, fails to pay her dues.” Doiwn the hall comes the swift sound of no one but poor little Mrs. Ada Hobbs, club adviser, running (well, almost running.) Have you ever known her to walk? Refinishing antiques in addition to regulai- work and preparing for special solo parts in a musical con test entry keep the vocational shop and band students on their toes. Shop life is always busy with making and repairing furniture in the wood department and mend ing mechanical parts in the mac hine section. Recently the boys have been refinishing an antique bed belonging to Mr. Chris Car penter and welding a television antenna, using information and skills learned in the course. Not only do tliese boys work to gether but most of them have “pet” projects of their own, such as one boy’s making a chest for his sister to put her toj|s in and ■Note Exchange Notes. Judges, Rockets, Music Make Interesting Exchange Column by Kay Beach Beauty judges, rockets, school life, and music makers from Min neapolis to Hickory make this month’s Exchange Column inter esting and different. DEEP DARK SECRET. Stu dents of Hickory High have se lected Pat Boone their favorite male movie personality and asked him to judge their beauty contest. As for the judge of our own beautyi race, the journalism class is keeping it a deep, dark secret until they are sm’e the “mystery person” wiU accept the responsibility. SUPERMAN. Guys at Central High, Minneapolis, as reported by THE CENTRAL HIGH NEWS, are really keeping up with the times, planning a rocket all their own. Well, not quite all their own since they are working with the Ameri can Rocket Society. We hear Rocky Mount High has a scientist (Eddie Wilhalf) working on a secret project too. (Eddie, let us know how it turns out before the launching.) RUMPUS ROOM FAR AWAY. When it comes to getting a re creation center or “i"umpus room” away from the drudgery of school life, we are in the same boat with the students of Central High in Charlotte. It appears that neither school is getting far or going too fast toward its goal. MUSIC, MUSIC, MUSIC. Greensboro Senior High has a new dance band group, “THE SOUTHERN GENTLEMAN”, while Senior High has a new vooal group, “THE SENIORS.” In the gro^up are Tommy Whitley, Jeff Griffin, Bobby Fisher, Henry Hin son with Judy Brown as accom panist on piano and Henry Sanders on drums. As I hurry, down the hall I hear •myr 1 -MM- . ^1'*® voice of Stanley Vaughan, IVlOttern Music president of the Service Club. “Nancy Coggins, you are vice- president; must you sit back there and talk to Celia Brake, coi'res- ponding secretai-y? When reading the minutes, (speaking to Regina Harles), one does not chew gum.” “As I said before, we have no money,” comes from the middle of the group, from no other than David Williams as Sammy Meyer races fiercely to get the devotion. Good Sports Seem Puzzled Onward down the hall ’til I hear, ‘You as Good Sports membei’s are responsible for selling these ribbons. Now Mrs. Cuthrell will kill us,” comes from Sonya Hook er, the re-elected president says, who for once in history is payiing attention.

Teacher Works Too Mr. Neal Adkins, instructor, in terested in everything the boys do, has his own httle projects and 'Works along with his students. Most any day you can go in the shop and see Charles Neville, Carl ton Harlow and Buddy Moore at one of the machines. This year has already been a busy one for the school band. Dur ing football season they played for every; home game and also at the game in Wilson. They partici pated in parades at Greenville and Nashville as well as at home, and also appeared at the Harvest Fes tival and the East Carolina Home coming activities. Six Picked for All-State Band Last week six students were chosen to play in the All-State Band in Greenville. They are Mar- garet Sutton, Gale Koonce, Mil lard Howard, Bobby Collins, Eddie Tyler and Katy Tyner. Gene Eason, senior band mem ber, received help from Mr. James Roberts, director, after school on the baritone part to “My Pair Lady,” one of the band’s contest numbers. Gene has been a valu able member of the band for sev eral years. Teacliey -Womble Outstanding Ladies’ Ready-To-Wear 126 Nash St. Dig Those Crazy Pictures “Parlez-vous francais?” asks Miss Dorothy Craighill hopefully. She will never learn that her club just doesn’t “comprendre” French or even “dig those crazy pictures”. Miss Ci'aighill, I just don’t un derstand,” says president Vicki Taylor; “I just don’t understand.” ‘That’s all right,” comes from vice-president Mac Hines, never fear, just say (ouey) and ‘mercy buket’ or something like that.” “You don’t pronounce i t (ouey),” corrects Miss Brains her self, secretary Bonnie Murchison, “It’s oui (wee), isn’t it Betsii?” “Yep, yep. Whatever you say is absolutely right,” gasps Betsy Alexander, treasurer, as she counts her $1.57 in the treasui-y to be sure she is right. Monogram Club — ReaUy!! From down the hall comes “Kick that ball over the basket! Hot dog, a hcmerun!” “But, Al, I told you in football you do not have homeruns,” stat ed Mr. Bill Lundy in a quite man- tner to innocent looking AI Words worth, president of the Monogram Club. A small giggle leaks from a corner of the room. They are at it again! Buzzy Tilley, vice presi dent, and Alton Oakely, treasurer, appear to be getting a “large charge” out of seeing Larry Ward take minutes. Minutes! Minutes? “Well, Miss, and what do you think you are doing?” comes from the person behind me. It was, yes, the chief president of all, Mr. C. M. Edson, principal. I am now picking up paper on the school grounds each afternoon between the hours of 3:15 and 5:00. (This is i-eally not true, but the neiw officers names are cor rect) .
