While they were attending the performance of “The Rivalry,” Den nis Barnes talked with Mr. Boone during intermission. He made an appointment for Saturday after noon, backstage, after the matinee performance. There Mr. Boone chat ted while talcing off his make-up. In answer to their questions, the group found that Mr. Boone is al most forty. He is married and he has a son about six years old. Every one was amused when he told them that his son owned a Paladin suit and that because of this, his son could not decide if he or his father were Paladin. Mr. Boone, a very handsome gen tleman, has broad shoulders. This appeals to girls. Jenny Fields ex claimed about his height, for he is about six feet, three inches, a Citizens Coal Supply Co. Binlding Materials 1017 Cokey Rd. Dial 6-8116 • CENTER • good height for the part of Lin coin he portrays. He has unusually long hair. It is long not simply because he needs a haircut, however. It is long for the part of Abe Lincoln which he plays in “The Rivalry.” He reads a great many articles to prepare for this role and said that Carl Sandburg did much to help him build the proper attitude for his characterization. This summer Mr. Boone plans to leave the play to make 39 new films for his Paladin roll on tele vision. The series should be finish ed by January. When questioned a.s to which part he likes better, Mr. Boone without hesitation said Paladin. However, he enjoys his roll as Lincoln, he added. The interview came to an endj a half hour later but during that time members of the Hi-Noc-Ar staff had taken pictures and mental notes of this thrilling experience. Upon leaving Paladin, they were still thinking about their chance meeting with Mr. Jack Demsey. Mr. Dempsey Siad spotted the group watching him through the window of liis restaurant, located on Broadway. He invited the group in to talk with him and eat some delicacies his restaurant has to offer. Local Girl Wins; Gets $100 Check Governor Luther Hodges present ed Carolyn Nichols a check for $100 for her first place winning essay on “Why Employ The Physi cally Handicapped” when he met with her in his office last Friday morning.

Daughtridge and Brake By Saundra Wiggins Exchanges show that schools have been busy with elections of class and student organization officers, publication heads, beauty court con testants and all the chairmen for the different spring jobs. Recently members of the Gran by High School, Norfolk, Virginia, eler/^d memljers of the Senate and House of Representatives to re present their stfiool during tl^a “Youth Week.” These students also elected a mayor, city councilman and other officials to serve during the week. So far as I can recollect, Senior High has not had such an event in about six years. I think it would be a wonderful idea to have a “Youth Week” in Rocky Mount. In Wilson, the Ralph L. Fike High School senioi' class had a stunt night. All the proceeds went to the yearbook account. Rocky Mount seniors will not be able to have a stunt nighti this year. Usually local stunt night receipts were used to purchase the pre sents left to Senior High from the class. Bands from all over Eastern North Carolina have really been doing some traveling. Wilson wenti to Washington, North Carolina, to help celebrate the seventeenth an niversary of their radio station. The Junius H. Rose High School, Greenville, went the nation’s capital to play in the annual Cherry Blossom Festival. Rocky Mount’s band has not been Idle either. They journeyed to Wilmington lor the annual Azalea Festival. Also from Junius H. Rose High comes the announcement that the school has received second place in the district science fair at East Carolina College.
