THE BLACKBIRD, ROCKY MOUNT SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL
PAGE FIVE
'If A Man Answers' Rated Best Play
Ever Produced At Rocky Mount High
Certainly outstanding was the
brilliant array of costumes.
Curiosity filled everyone’s mind
with each rise of the curtain, af:
he wondered what the leading
characters would be wearing. The
use of the French wig also
aroused a great deal of interest.
Credit should also be given to
the many students who worked
backstage, and to those who help
ed create the appealing set. The
sould effects were also quite
realistic.
A few faults could be found
in the production but they really
ate of little significance. Every
thing considered, it can truly be
a. 10

ARCHITECTURE IS GOOD CAREER

said “If a Man Answers” was
one of the best productions ever
at Seiiior^gh. Congratulations to

Answers To Aptitude Test
Another victory was gained for
RMSH when the Edsonians pre
sented their fall production, ^‘If
a Man Answers,” November 30
and Decsmber 1. Directed by
Mrs. Ada S. Hobbs, the cast of
16 proved that high school stud
ents are capable of producing a
play as good as, or better than,
the movie by the same title.
•The students were well chosen
for their parts and did an ex
cellent job portraying the char
acters. Some of the parts were
difficult for high school students,
but the cast proved themselves
capable of anything, even to a.
French accent. Most of the stars
in “If a Man Answers” were
participating in their first pro
duction, evidence that there is a
lo t of undiscovered talent at
Senior High.
Playing for two nights, “If
a Man Answers” made history at
RMSH, and the size of the crowds
both nights proved that the people
of Rooky Mopijt are really in
terested in a.n4teur acting.
Much of the success of a pro
duction is due to the fine se
lection of the drama. “If a Man
Answers” proved to be very
entertainmg and certainly held
the audience’s attention. The fre
quent change of scenes kept the
play from becoming monotonous.

Architecture is an art, a
science, and a profession. It is
as much an art as painting, as
much a science as mathematics,
and as much a profession as
medicine or law.
The architect must combine
these three disciplines in order
to design and guide to com
pletion beautiful and practical
buildings and their environment
for his clients. He must be part
administrator,* organizer, tech
nician, planner, economist, soci
ologist, surveyor, landscaper,
engineer, artist and, if he is to
understand his clients’ needs,
psychologist
Architectural schools generally
.require a five-year course of
study. Some you can enter di
rectly from high school; for
others you will need two to four
years of college work first, fol
lowed by two or three years of
specialization in architectural
subjects.
Architectural courses cover
all aspects of design theory, and
usually include math, chemistry,
physics, sociology, economics,
structural engineering, uses of
building materials, history of
architecture, graphic presenta
tion, heating and ventilating,
electricity, lighting, acoustics,
specification writing, city plan
ning and landscape planning.
After graduation you begin
your internship in an architect’s
office. Three years of work un
der an architect usually are re
quired by most states before
you can take the licensing ex
amination, Starting salaries
Shaver Battery
AND
range between $60 and $80 a
week. After gaining some ex
perience, you should be able to
make tetween $100 and $250 a
week. About $12,000 is the top
salary for achitectural workers
in large firms.
If, after you have gained of
fice experience and received
your license, you decide to open
your own practice, you will find
that yo u are taking on much
more responsibility and financial
risk, but the potential earnings
an d personal satisfaction are
greater.
Architecture, however, is not
a high-income profession. If you
are outstandingly successful, you
may earn more than $50,000 a
year. Many make between $25,-
000 and $50,000, but on the whole
incomes average well below
that.
The architect’s true reward
cannot be measured in dollars.
It comes from the satisfaction
of knowing that he is contribut
ing to the world’s store of beauty
and helping people to live, work
and play together better. Every
building, even the smallest
house, can enrich the lives of
all who live in it, use it, or see
it. The gratification gained from
these accomplishments is the
architect’s real reward.
