Page 4 THE BLACKBIRD Friday, September IS, IIHT/ Margaret Winstead, Benjie Smith, and Bob Chapman discuss upcoming events of the school year. Kiwanis Club Honors SO Leader Ilotarians Commend Editors Of Newspaper And Annual Benjie Smith, Kiwanis boy for September, is a dynamo of enthusiastic leadership. Hav ing held many high-ranl^ing offices previously at Senior High, he is well qualified to serve as the Student Organiza tion President. Being President of the Student Organization he mittee. Plans are being made now for as many bonfires as possible, and yet not too many, so as to keep up the interest and attendancel It is hard for a boy as busy as Benjie to find much spare time. When he does have free time he enjoys shooting pool, playing baslcetball and tennis. For entertainment he likes to watch Mission Impossible and listen to the music of Johnny Rivers and the Temptatioas. This summer Benjie and Frank Bradley went to visit a friend of Frank’s father in Cleveland, Ohio for one and one-half weeks. Benjie’s ad miration for this man grew during his stay there because tlie man had worked up from nothing to the owner of a pros pering chain of restaurants. This gives Benjie added in centive toward his own career. Benjie’s future plans include college at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill where he will major in Eco nomics. Leadership stands out as a distinguishing characteristic of the Rotary Couple for Septem ber. Margaret Winstead, Ro tary Girl, is Co-editor of the Hi-Noc-Ar. Bob Chapman is the editor of the Blackbird. A Natural Leader Not only is Margaret a leader, she also has the cliaracteris- tics of depndability, service, and patrioism, which won her the DAR Good Citizen Award. Margaret has proven her lead ership in other ways also. She has held homeroom .offices and has been a Student Organi zation representative. Her ser vice is shown in her many and varied activities both in and out of school. Besides being secretary of the Sophomore class, a student member of the American Field Service com mittee, and the Junior-Senior Decorations Committee Chair man, she was a delegate to Wild Acres and to the Eastern District of North Carolina Stu dent Council Congress. Although the Hi-Noc-Ar is her main interest, she enjoys reading and music, especially the piano, which she has stu died ten or eleven years. Margaret looks forward to studying at Wake Forest Col lege in Winston Salem next year where her major will be English. A Bom Editor Bob comes to his job as edi tor well-prepared since he has worked as a staff writer for the Evening Telegram for over a year, where he writes local and feature stories. “I really enjoy my job at the newspaper office since it gives me a chance to meet many hiteresting people. One of the most interesting aspects of my job is doing feature stories. Since they can be written on about anything, I try to write on as wide a variety as pos sible.” Bob’s activities have not been strictly in the field of journa lism. He has 'served as Vice- President and Treasurer of the Rocky Mount Youth Council. Bob enjoys taking trips to his family’s lot at Gaston Lake where he goes swimming, boat ing, and skiing. He fishes some but “not much!” His family is now in the process of build ing an eight-sided cabin on the lot. When it is finished, it should be “quite something." Senior Bovs Exchange Ideas, Outward Bound Two Rocky Mount Senior High students attended the North Carolina Outward Bound School near Marion, North Carolina this summer. The school, set in the rugged sur roundings of Linville Gorge, holds nine sessions a year. Steve Morgan, the first to enroll in the school, attended the first session, from July 2 until July 29. William Thorpe, the other Senior High student, attended the second session from August 2 until August 29. The students were trained to use only the bare essentials in their everyday experiar— . When not on the trail, the stu dents attended classes on such subjects as axemanship, rock climbing and rescue training. Steve agreed that it was rough physically but added, “The greatest challenges were mental and moral, rather than physical.” Challenges were placed be fore all the boys, such as a three day solo expedition. Steve and William, when sent on theirs, ate leaves, ants, crayfish and ferns. Both felt that it was great and that more people should attend. WESTWOOD LUMBER CO.
