Calls for Hard Work,
Says Margaret Truman
By .lOHN I TLBV
• It’s ii I'ot of hard work,—" was
tho' answer Margaret Tniiuan «ave
1(0 your Kovinft Reporter's (luiwtiori,
“What advice eouio you sive to
(ireensboro teen-agers who might
like to enter the eoueert lield?”
Many interesting things about Miss
Truman were discovered l)y tliis,
and other reporters at a recent
press conference held at Hedgefield
Inn.
Her recent North Oarolina ap
pearance marked the beginning of
her first concert tour in the south.
Her N. C. concert was given at the
Western State Teachers College, in
the mountains that Miss Truman
loves so well. Miss Truman is not
at all iinfamtliar with the south,
having been here before. This has
been Miss Truman’s longest stay
away from home; She finds it very
hard, being an only child.
Miss Truman, who states that
she is just a soprano, is not inter
ested in opera, only concert. She
made it very clear, however, that
her favorite operatic role is “Rigo-
leto.” Miss Truman’s interest in
Television is purely from the view
ers stand point. She has no desire
to be behind the camera. Her
views on radio are quite contrary,
liesults—she is appearing on ABC’s
“Carnegie Hall’’ in Hecember.
Miss Helen Traubel, who Miss
Truman likes very much, is only
Miss Truman’s good friend and ad
visor—not her coach, as has l>een
rumored. Miss. Truman thinks that
Miss Traubel , is a very fine person,
a great artist, and one from whom
you can learn much. Miss Truman
has studied voice in New York for
the past year. She has studied very
hard since she was 10 or 17.
Miss Truman’s itarents will be
I)resent at only one of her concerts.
That will be her performance with
the National Symphony Orchestra
in Washington, in November. She
will feature an aria from tlie
“Marriage of Figaro.”
Memorizing takes the spot light
of Miss Truman’s st>are time. She
is not a slave (to the kitchen. As
Miss Truman says, "The further I
can stay away from the kitchen,
the better I like it.”
Most of lis would ratlier appear
in a small auditorium (if we have
to appear at all) tmt not Miss Tru
man. The size of the auditorium is
no boilher to her, neitlier are the
secret service men, nor the press
conferences.
Critics, the country over, have
heavily criticized Miss Truman, but
slie considers them very helpful
and fair to luu'.
For the interest of the girls.
Miss Truman is wearing on her
tour a very simple dr(\ss with a
white and silver bompiet. Her
dress was designed l>.v Madame
Paula.
Miss Truman’s interest are not
entirely set on singing. She is an
avid fan of b.aseball. During the
course of the interview, she in-
(piired about the series. Having
heard only part of a game that day,
she was wondering how it came
out. The members of her party
were for the Yankees. Thus Miss
Margaret roots for the Dodgers.
Sliovvii above is Charles E. Her
bert who is assistant principal
and Dean of boys.

Ann Kersey Struck
By Speeding Gar
Ann Kersey, junior GHS’er, was
injured when struck by a speeding
ear at the inter.section of Westover
Terrace and Madison Avenue, Tues
day.
Ambulance sped her to Wesley
Doug Hospital where she received
treatment for .shock and slight in
juries. Nurses in attendance stated,
“She seems to be slightly injured
. . . will be discharged soon.”
The accident oceured during the
regular lunch period. Principal
liouth stated that Kersey was
AWOL at the time of the accident.
No charges have been filed against
the driver since the investigation
is not complete.
Mr. Herbert Compares
Senior To Pi\es Pea\
“We are just iionI. comideting the
first six-weeks of the 104!>-50 school
year,’’ stated Mr. Charles E. Her-
i)ert, assistant principal and Dean
of Boys at GHS.
Mr. Herl)ert said that tliis school
lias the best facilities and oppor
tunities that boys and girls in
America could ask for. “But to
make it a completely happy school,
it requires the efforts of all of us,”
Herbert said.
Herbert compared the school with
Pike’s Peak. The top is broken and
barren; the storms break around,
tearing with all their fury; the
thunder lireaks all around; the
lightning sizzles as it breaks
through rain and hail. A person
could not help but think of a task
done by those who built the road
to Pike’s Peak. Pike said th.a't the
Playmakers Make Plans
(Continued from Page One)
Five Pesos,” also a comedy, and
the Seniors, “Mxins,” a traged.v.
The plays will be presented on
November 18 in the school auditor
ium. The group giving the best per
formance will be awarded a loving
cup, and they will take the produe-
ition to the state dramatics festival
in Chapel Hill this spring.
Miss Mozelle Causey is faculty
advisor for the group.
Miss Causey Goes
(Continued, from Page One)
Mi.ss Causey was appointed to fill
an unexj)ired term three years ago.
Because of this, she will have
served four years on the commis-
si()n when she retires from the
board next year.

Iieak could never be climbed, but
men with vision and desire to over
come its difficulties built the road
so that we who climb could go
with ease—that others might have
the pleasure and Inspiration that
this road could give.
In our school those who have
gone liefore“have made it possible
for us to accomplish much ease,
l)ut there is much unconquered
space ahead—^a real challenge.
Herbert said “There is room for
everyone’s ideas and suggestions.”
Let us have them—tenderfoot or
old timer.
Last Drill Improves
Over Former Ones
G. H. S. received a low score
on the tire drill on Monday,
October 11. The school was
graded down because of talk
ing m the lines and because of
failure to shut some of the win
dows.
Mr. Bouth asked that the
firemen return on Wednesday
for another driil in order that
the low score might be rectified.
The second drill was nearly
perfect, and the buildings were
cleared in one minute and
thirty seconds.

Henry Fitzgeraldr Janitor
At Senior High School
Has Long Service Record
Among fhe institutions,, which
have been of long standing at Sen
ior High is Henry Fitzgerald.
Serving as janitor, Henry has been
in the city school system for
twenty-seven year.s.
He is recognized around school
by the cheerful smile on his face
and the friendly hello he has for
both students and teachers. Henry
says that in his many years at
Senior, lie has been able to get
along with everyone and at no
time has had any unpleasant deal
ings with either the student body
or faculty.
Henry observes the present stu
dent body to be an improvement
over those of previous years. As
he would state it—“It’s better than
it has been!” The washrooms seem
to be kept in better shape, the
smoking conditions are better, and
students refrain from scattering as
much paper in the front of the
school. These are a few of the im
provements which make Henry feel
that he has the cooperation of the
students. In connection with this
he stated: “I hope they continue
to cooperate with us.”
When asked to list a few rooms
which seem to always out rank the
others in neatness and cleanliness,
Henry showed a true trait of his
sweet disposition. “I don’t want to
make anyone mad,” he said. After
being reminded that Senior High
has thirty-eight homerooms and
that naming a few surely couldn’t
make anyone feel badj, he grinned
and gave his answer. Incidently,
among those mentioned were Miss
Alton’s, Miss Moore’s, Miss Avery’s,
and Mrs. Gorrell’s.
Henry has been happily married
for twenty years. He has two
dangliters who have graduated from
Bennett. He is a person well liked
at Senior and the person, to whom
the students are indebted for the
warmth they enjoy during cold
months and for the many little
things kept in tip-top shape
throughout the whole school year.
