This week we want to salute
one of our former New Bern
High School students, John
Gaskill, Jr.
In addition to playing trom
bone In the college concert and
marching bands at Wake For
est, and In the Reserve Officers
Training Corps Band at the
school he has the title of com
mander of the band and rifle
platoons. As the Winston-Salem

cle on him, that’s an order-
barking not a horn tooting as
signment.
Because the ROTC band does
not have a director, John was
pressed Into active service In
this capacity when the group
participated recently In the
National ROTC Association
Band and Drum and Bugle Corps
Competition at Jersey City, N.
J., and at the New York World’s
Fair,
The concert portion was at
Jersey City, and the march
ing and maneuvering competi
tion was in the Singer Bowl of
the World’s Fair. John, 21,
played trombone in the New
Bern High School band, and got
his first directing experience
with a small student band.
He has majored In English at
Wake Forest, and expects to
continue his studies In graduate
school. He plans to put off his
tour of Army duty while a grad
uate student, then serve “two
or three years.”
John was the only senior in
the ROTC band this year, and
there were only four juniors.
The rest were sophomores and
freshmen. The band had only a
month’s notice to prepare for
the World’s Fair competition,
but performed very creditably.
We are very proud of John’s
record at Wake Forest. He has
been a credit to NBHS, and to
our town. Included with the fea
ture story about him In the
Winston-Salem Journal was a
picture of him, looking quite
serious and dignified.

Looking Glass-
(Contlnued from Page 1)
Some of New Bern’s leading
male citizens won’t admit it,
but rain did represent a prob
lem for older boys. A sudden
downpour was certain to ruin
the cigarette butts that were
harvested dally from local side
walks for furtive enjoyment.
In retrospect, we’re con
vinced that most adult smokers
were healthy then. Otherwise,
more diseases than you could
shake a stick at. Ifyou’reaman
of middle age or older, you know
we’re not spoofing.
Filters wouldn’t have been
much protection In a situation
like this. Maybe there was a
guardian angel around, or per
haps the germs ate each other
up.
