(Photo by Corbi Buliuclc) Exchange Student Enjoys RMSH While many students at RMSH may take Hardee hamburgers for granted, Jimmy Apostoleries, the foreign exchange student from Greece must like Gilbert Giddyup’s charcoal broiled hamburgers pretty well. At least that is where he’s usually found during second lunch. If a student from Rocky Mount were spending some lime in Greece, perhaps he could be found at a soublaki stand. A soublaki is as popular to a teenager in Greece as a humburger is to an American teenager. Although Jimmy likes tennis and gymnastics, he is also finding time to wrestle for the RMSH Gryphons. He said “The coach is very nice and is helping me very much. I just like the whole atmosphere.” Jimmy said that school here is easier than those of Greece, but he is having a hard time with the language. At his school in Greece there are 14 courses. Among these are mandatory courses in religion. Jimmy really likes RMSH and says that everyone is so nice to him, even the teachers. As for his free time in America, Jimmy may be found riding a bicycle throughout Englewood where he is living with Corbi and Trey Bulluck, who reside on Woodlawn Road. Or perhaps an out of town trip is planned with the whole Bulluck family. Jimmy’s plans are varied. He may spend his weekend nights with a group of friends, or the weekend may include a date to a football game or movie. Jimmy says that here there are more things to do and it is more exciting than at his home. Even in school here clubs and other activities get students interested in school; whereas, in Greece they do not have these activities. Jimmy said that in Greece there is not the problem of teenagers drinking and the drug problem, but that there the teenagers smoke cigarettes mischievously. Deep within the litterbug- infested campus of RMSH, a handful of concerned students work diligently to devise a plan for extermination. Alas, there are few known cures for this species of bugs invading Senior High. From the magnificent halls of 012 to the dreary second floor of the Math-Science Building, these menaces find their way into every crack in every wall, to every spot under every bush, to every step, Tripps’ Qass Splits Pigs “Mrs. Tripp had a class, E-I- E-I-0. And in that class there was a pig. E-I-E-I-0.” That’s as far as the song goes, though . . . for Mrs. Tripp’s pigs are being disected. The Advanced Biology Class for Seniors is learning first hand the process of disecting fetal pigs. The first step, of course, is to name the pig. This can only be done, though, after determination of whether it is a boy or girl. If the pig is blue, then it is a boy, and if it is pink, then the pig is a girl. . . Simple as that. Every student is given a pig, so that they can get to know their pig individually. It was very hard to keep Theresa Joyner from cutting hers until the knives were given out. She insisted on using her finger nails. But disecting is not all fun and games. There are those frustrating moments such as the realization that the pig has only one testes, or discovering that little tissue cut away was actually the pig’s heart! None of the students have yet to face the traumatic experience Kim Woods has. After going through the difficult process of establishing the sex of her pig, and carefully picking out a name for her girl pig, she discovered that Petunia was a boy.

The litterbugs are striving to keep every trash can free from trash and to bring Christmas a little closer by decorating the bushes with colorful candy wrappers and Coca-Cola cans. BUT, their ultimate goal is to degrade Rocky Mount Senior High by subtracting from its appearance. Meanshile, amid the crafty undertakings of the litterbugs, the ecology-minded students (the few with pride), prepare their plan of attack. At last, they have arrived at a solution! They plan for each of the “ecologists” to take a position in one area of the school. All litterbugs captured would be herded into the cafeteria where the ecologists would punish them by giving them boxes, bags, and pointed sticks and by forcing them to scourge RMSH and cleanse it of every can, wrapper, and general trash within five minutes. Finally all the litterbugs would be captured. But the weary ecologists would look around in awe. The cafeteria would be not only full of all the litterbugs but also of every single student in the school, for they are one and the same! National Honor Society Sells Gryphon Jackets This year instead of a car- wash the National Honor Society will sell jackets. This will be their only money making project. Mike Knowles, the chairman of the fund raising committee, stated that there would be a display model. Interested students may go by the library showcases to see the model. These jackets will be of a sweatshirt type make-up. They will be blue and will have a gold Gryphon on the left front side. They will also have a hood. The cost will be eight dollars. The selling campaign will begin sometime in the near future. Interested students may purchase jackets from any member of the National Honor Society.
