February 14,1950 High Life Page Three THE OTHER SIDE of the DESK By Miss Mildred C. Herring, Librarian Editor’s Note : If High Life is to mirror life at Senior Bigh, it must reflect ALL life—both student and faculty. We present, therefore, another in a series of articles by members of the faculty.

Yes, we all know that was the only too typical and woeful cry of damsel of the Youth Cen ter waiting on her date to take him to the Spinster’s Hop, an an nual Youth Center affair. To those who didn’t go, we say you really missed the best time in the years of the Youth Center (well one of the best anyway). The girls asked for the dates, made corsages, picked up their dates (this included waiting at least fifteen minutes, opening doors for them. Faculty Personalities By Merle Cates Interviewing Miss Dorothy Scott was indeed a pleasant experience. Miss Scott, former faculty mem ber here at G. H. S., returned this spring semester to continue her teaching of typing and shorthand. During her absence from G. H. S., Miss Scott held the office of as sistant treasurer of the “Southern Convention of Congregational Chris tian Churches,” at Elon College. The young, petite and thoroughly charming Miss Scott graduaed from G. H. S. several years ago and graduated from W. C. l^. N. C. also. She was head of the commercial Dept, here at G. H. S. from 1945- 1948. When asked to characterize the average G. H. S.’er, Miss Scott thought a minulte and said, “I think the G. H. S. students are tops. I especially think the girls are most atractive and I like the short hair lengths.” Miss Scott herself has the new hair style. Ait the end of our interview Miss Scott added that she was looking fo-rward to this spring semester with great expectation. Incidentally, she is the sister of Joan Scott, member of our Senior class. taking their coats and paying all expenses for the night). Great break for the boys don’t you think? Dot W’'ulff’s date, Bob Murray, even went so far as to have Dot carry him pdggy back down the stairs. A typical corsage left behind by some male was very nice (for a rabbit, that is). It was a con glomeration of radishes, cranber ries, lettuce leaves and something orange. Some corsages were even composed of cigarettes. It’s a cinch they weren’t left behind. The dance also climaxed a day of voting for the 1950-1951 Youth Council members. They are as fol lows ; President, Bob Murray, Vice- President, Jack Ogburn, Secretary, Martha Vann Link, Joe Freeman, and Councilmen, Anne Wrenn. Lane McGregor, Clint Legette, Sally Bo ron, Bob Stewart, and Mickey ^am- blee. So far the only Youth Center Dance planned for the near future is the “Sweetheart Ball,” spon sored by the Junior Woman’s Club for February 14. But of course w’e are all looking forward to the Vaughn Monroe dance to be held at the Sport’s Arena February 17. Youth Center members w’ill be ad mitted for $1.50, a saving of $1.00. A personal interview with Vaughn Monroe is being planned for the Youth Center during his appearance in Greensboro. That’s all for now but remember the weekly Youth Center program to be in dharge of the G. W. I. club. See you there. Class Work Begun By GHS Dramalisis Pollock’s Ladies... Come in and let us fit you in our high fashioned shoes. 102 S. Elm ■ Dial 7041 The tw’o new’ classes in Dramatics find themselves facing a busy se mester. The outline of w’ork shows that the forty-six mem-liers will not only be “acting out” dramas, but they imtst learn make-up, scenery paiDting, and to act as electricians. However, before they may put any of these things to use, they must learn the use of the voice and learn to breathe and to walk correctly. The classes started with a story telling hour, featuring stories for children, including “Little Red Rid ing Hood” and “Three Little Pigs.” Also coming into their owm for dra matic effort w'ere Edgar Allen Poe’s short stories, creating an atmos phere of horrors in Room 3071 BEN WOODS RESTAURANT The Home of Delicious STEAKS 208 Commerce Place ch iff mans Tate Cleaners Cleaning At Its Best Call for and deliver 871 S.

There really are very few dull minutes in high school li braries ; how’ever, some phases of the work are more interesting than others. Frankly, I detest any job that takes me away from helping those girls and boys w'ho w’ant to read. I love books, and I honestly feel sorry for that large group that does not ilke to read anything. “Time killers” and “page turners” often make me w'ish I were engaged in any type of work other than bein a high school librarian. “Terra paper time” is here again, and soon the eight sections of Sen ior English classes will be wearing those w^orried expressions—that is, some of them will. Believe it or not, there have been seniors who attend ed Senior High School w’ho said they really enjoyed writing their term papers. After you have set tled on your subject, seniors, the task is not half bad. I can truth fully say that I do not mind helping seniors in locating information for their term papers. Each vear I actually feel that I know the sen iors better after we have worked together. They see the librarian in a different light—not as someone who tries to keep them from wast ing their time, but as a person who is interested in helping them w'ith one of the biggest tasks of the sen ior year. Many students express their appreciation for assistance giv- en to them; others take it as a mat ter of course, but librarians have one trait that is usually attributed to elephants—they never forget the kind words of appreciation. Another interesting part of my work which I would not miss for anything is my contacts with the student library staff. These girls and boys are very fine to work with, and they render an invaluable ser vice in the library. \Vhen gradu ation time comes around, I find my self wondering if others can be found to replace those who are grad- uatlng. Every fall new library as sistants are found, and I get at tached to the new group just as I did to their predecessors. This proves conclusively that the supply of fine girls and boys never runs out. ^Tien this is no longer true, I wish to sev er my connections with high school libraries, for then there will be no incentive to keep on working.
