Fannie Mae is a superior stu
dent with an A record in all sub
jects. She is the type of student
who endeavors to do a job thor
oughly regardless of the situation
or task, according to Miss Josep
hine Grant, Fannie Mae’s home
economics and homeroom teacher.
Having taken three years of
home economics and being a mem
ber of the FHA for two years has
been helpful in giving Fannie a
thorough background in homemak-
ing and preparing her on pointers
necessary to answer the many
questions required on the tests.
Fannie’s test has been placed in
state competition. If she becomes
the state winner, she’ll receive a
$1,500 scholarship to any approv
ed college she chooses and RM-

If Fannie becomes the state win
ner, she will be eligible for nation

Williamsburg, Richmond and New
York, also a shcolai'ship increas
ed to $5,000 will be added to her
luxuries..

Celebrities, murder trials (?),

Quiet! The house lights go
down! The curtain goes up! We
are witnessing a murder trial. Stu
dents of Granby High School in
Norfolk sat spellbound for two
and a half hours as they viewed
Ayn Rand’s play, “The Night of
January 16th.”

admiring fans. Hickory must have
some attraction for celebrities.
Hey, kids, if Tab drops in and

wishes you were more reserved;
If you don’t, he seeks consola

If you talk of love and marri
age, he jumps to the conclusion
that you’re proposing;
If you don’t, he thinks you don’t
care.
If you are a good girl, he wond
ers if you are human;
If you’re bad, he’s disgusted.
If ijou go with other boys, he
thinks you’re fickle;
If you don’t, he thinks no one
wants you.
Boys, bless their little pointed
heads, don’t know what they want.

Six Boys Receive Degrees
During DeMolay Ceremony
Six boys, known as the Queen City Class, became mem
bers of the Deux Pays Chapter Order of DeMolay and re-
ceived their depees in a ceremony honoring their spon-
sormg_ lodge, the Queen City Lodge of Masons, in the
Masonic Temple March 1.
Bell Ringer Gives
Unusual Assembly
"Playing before school audiences
gives me much satisfaction,” Mr.
David Workman, talented musici
an, explained after his ‘‘Living
Bells” performance here Tuesday,
March 4.
Mr. Workman’s humor with his
music kept the students in laugh
ter. During the audience partici
pation part of his pro-gram he cal
led on Lou Bryan, Paul Filers,
Freddie Gardner, Ellen Stovall,
Cleve Cherry, Vicki Odom, Donnie
Sellers, and Peggy Gupton to help
him. After a few instructions they
played with his famous bells their
version of “Home on the Range”
under his direction.
, Mr. Workman was bom in Kan
sas City but since entering show
business has traveled a great deal
all over the counti-y. His interest
in bells began while he was play
ing regular musical instruments
for an orchestra. After buying sets
of bells, he went on a tour of his
own.
In the interview with Mr. Work
man his humor again came thro
ugh while discussing his records.
“Yes, I’ve made several records,”
he commented, “but I had to eat
most of tliem!”
Those initiated were Robbie Col
lie, Jimmy Baines, Jimmie Drake,
Phil Harris, Donald Robbins, and
Tommy White. After the initia
tion, refreshments were served to
members and their mothers who
watched the presentation of mem
bership buttons and heard the
“Flower Talk,” the only part of the
initiation opened to the public.
Joe Capel, “Porky” Delamar, De
wey Howard, Mike Grady, Randy
Dabbs, Tandy Fitts, Jim Batten,
Larry LeMoine, Bobby Jones, Park
er Himan, Gale Koonce, James
Marshburn, Bobby Lancaster,
Tommy Gorham, Tommy Reese,
and Selma Stilley took part in the
conferring of the degrees.
After the Queen City group
was initiated, plans were made to
stai't another class known as the
Birthday Class in honor of the
sixth birthday of the Deux Pays
Chapter Order of DeMolay. Mem
bers of this group will be initiat
ed May 3.
