The train reached its destination at 1:30 P.M., and the twelve students from G. H. S., Mr. Underwood, faculty advisor and Mrs. William son, chaperone, began a busy weekend of activities. The main purpose of the trip was to attend the meetings of the Columbia Scholastic Press Association. After the journalism group took their bags to the Hotel Taft, where they were staying, they managed to catch a quick breath before the round of meetings be gan. Henry Ferrell, Editor of the “High Life,” spoke at the first conference on the topic “How Editors Solve Their Problems.” After the completion of this meet ing, the high school journalists spent an afternoon of sight seeing. Despite the fact that they did not get to bed until 3:00 A.M., the girls were ambitious enough to rise at 7:30 on Friday morning in order to go see and board the renowned ship, the Queen Mary. Unaccustomed to the magnitude of the great vessal, Patsy Eways lost her bearings and the rest of the party; however, she managed to disembark with them. The male members of the group spent the morning at Columbia University where they were delighted to find that “High Life” was placed in the class of first-place rating. The first place rating is given to the pubications in the nation which are considered by the experts to be of top journalistic quality. This rating is shared by several news papers and places “High Life” among the best. The girls spent the afternoon attending meetings, while the boys took their turn at sight-seeing. Among the places they visited were the Empire State Building, Macys’, and the Natural Museum of History. Martha Moore, staff member, made a speech en titled “Newspapers, Our Foreign Ambassadors” at the Friday after noon meetings. That evening the girls attended the movie, “The Greatest Show' on Earth,” at Radio City, while the boys saw two tele vision shows, “So You Want To Be A Millionaire” and “The Perry Como Show.” The tickets for the Perry Como show were compli ments of the Liggett and Meyers Tobacco Company. On the following morning Mr. Sam J. Underwood, faculty ad viser for “High Life,” made a talk at the press meeting on editorial policy. The high light of the day was the luncheon at the Waldorf Astoria at which Presi dent Truman spoke. The presi dent’s speech was received with various reactions, but all the high school journalists felt a deep re spect for his office. Several of the high school editors were inter viewed on Edward R. Murrow’s show, “See It Now,” and our editor was fortunate enough to be included among these. The journalists were then entertained at a matinee. Saturday evening saw the party once again divide according to their individual tastes. Several of the group saw Lawrence Oliver and Vivien Leigh act superbly in “Antony and Cleopatra,” and the remaining members of the party dined in fine style at the “Brass Rail,” a night club. The weary travelers completed their night life com paratively early, for they returned to the Taft by twelve o’clock. Once again the girls arose early GROVER’S GULF SERVICE Rudy Phillips, Prop.

M. the journalists climbed aboard the homeward-bound train and started back to Greensboro. The train arrived here at 2:30 A. M. and the near-exhausted trekers managed enough energy to greet their smiling parents. However, the lost energy seems to have been rediscovered, for just ask any traveler for an account of his New York experiences, and you will find yourself listening for some time. Everyone agrees that it is a trip never to be forgotten! The travelers include Barbara Barrier, Lois Pond, Martha Moore, Beverly Shoff, Ann Fullton, Patsy Eways, Steve Leonard, Grey Eger- ton, Dave Wright, Don William son, Joanne Gourley, and Henry Ferrell. A bird in the hand is not good table manners.—The Lincoln Log Teacher: “What tense is, I am beautiful?” Student: “Past.” Salesman: “Here is a card with a lovely sentiment: to the only girl I ever loved.” Charles Sneed; “That’s swell. Give me a dozen.” This was a typical scene on a New York sight seeing bus dur ing the recent trip made by sev eral members of the Journalism class. Joanne Gourley is shown on the left gazing at the sky scrapers. Lois Pond is suffering from lack of sleep, thus explaining the blank expression on her face.
