Page 4 THE BLACKBIRD Friday, May 5, 1967 Sr. High SOS Club Sponsors Many Worthwhile Projects “Service Over Self,” this is the motto of the SOS Club. This year thie club has carried out its goal of the service to the school and the community UTider the very able direction of Miss Elaine Doyle and its slate of officers. Th«ae officers are president — Danny Davis; vice president — Terry Thomp son; secretary — Nancy Oak ley; and treasurer — Johimy Worrell. Members of the club worked together in the faU to turn out a beautiful float for the Home coming Parade. At Christmas time, as has been ithe tradition of the club, it sponsored a needy family. The sponsors'hip consisted of food, clothing, and toys for the children. Patients of the local hospitals were cheered considerably at Easter when ithiey were given decorated cups of jelly beans, wliich the members bad prepared. A little-known function, but an extremely important one, is the maintenance of the indoor plaEt garden in the lobby. This small task may seem unneces* sary but without care the gar den would soon die. Members of the club were sieon at tihe basketball games ispelldng pro grams and at the concession stands at baseball games sell ing refreslmients. The club pre sents the Most Valuable Player Award annually to the baseball player that it considers most worthy. It traditionally pre sents a gift to the school and also gives to tihe American Field Service. The 26 juniors and seniors who make up the club are always looking for worthwhile projects to sponsor. They can not possibly find all the pro jects whicfh are worthy of spon sorship; therefore, they wel come suggestions of l>rojeets from anyone. If anyone has a suggestion, the members of the club would be delighted to look into the matter. Plealsie contact Miss Doyle in Room 132. FOR THE FINEST IN MUSIO W. C. REID & COMPANY MAIN ST.

Joe is often seen at the Art Center, “peotting,” as he calls it, and after four months he has developed “some slight skill” in it. Presently he is the leader of a ceramics group which meets every Friday, Sat urday, and Sunday at the Art Center. His talent has been seen in ej^hibits at the Art Center and in the Clean-up Scrapbook, of which ihe was the art editor. Those attending many local dances see evi dences of this talent in the decorations there. He enjoys lettering and his handiwork is seen on many campaign poist- Delegates Go To Convention Several members of the Na tional Honor Society left Rocky Mount Sunday morning to at tend a three-day convention at Nags Head. Those members charmed by the beauty of Nags Head and the pioturesque Caro linian Motor Hotel were Sandy Easley, Hatcher Kinchieloe, Char lotte Looney, Nancy Wilson, Johnny Gower, and Linda La- Grange.

PINE ST. ACROSS FROM SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL and Mrs. Sue M. Hayworth ac companied the group. The tiheme for the convenitaon was “New Morality—Cause and Effect (Old Standards vs. New Morality).” Aftesr hearing a speaker on this topic Monday morning, the delegates entered in lively discussions in various discussion groups and work- sholps. A semi^formal dance cli maxed the activities. The dele gates returned Tuesday, tired but happy adn mudh to relate to the other members about their experiences. ers and signs at election time at Senior High. This summer J.oe hopes to further his knowledge at Pen- land School of Arts and Crafts in Western North Carolinli. He will attend Richmond Profes sional Institute next year where he plans to study commercial art; however, commercial art will not be his career as he plans to become a “regular artist and starve.” Even though one would think that Joe devotes all his time to art, this is not so. He finds time for other interests includ ing television and sports; his favorite show veing tihe Smo ther’s Brothers Comedy Hour. His interest in all sports is shown by his participation on the track team where Ihe is a pole vaulter. This year he hopes to break the school record in pole vaulting and so far is near breaking it. Joe has very definite views on school life. He feels that a student can get more out of a class if he participates in it. He does participate as a mem ber of the Phalanx Club and the Art Club. He also feels that students should be more en thusiastic about what they are going to do in later life. Joe is a versatile and weU-rounded student—one that Senior High can be proud of.
