Numerous Teachers Engage in ^Extras^
Include Music, Journalism, Dramatics
From the many teachers here
at Senior who go beyond the call
of duty as teachers and do extra
work with the students, there are
six who should be mentioned.
These teachers are: Miss Causey,
Miss Tuttle. Miss Powell, Mr.
Jamieson, Mr. Underwood, and
Mr. Routh.
Miss Powell spent her youth on
a farm in Lenoir, N. C. As a child
she liked to play cowboys, guns,
or anything pertaining to a boy’s
life. She graduated from Lenoir
High School and then went to
Duke where she got her A. B. de
gree. She has been teaching ap
proximately nineteen years. She
has not only taught English, as
she does now, but she once taught
Spanish, French, art; and during
the war, she taught a war course.
She loves to make clothes and to
paint in her spare time. Besides
all this, she became the adviser
for the year book staff at the
beginning of this school year. Be
ing adviser of a year book is not
a small job. Besides all the trouble
of publication, there are trips and
many other activities in which the
adviser has to participate.
Miss Causey, another active
teacher here at G. H. S., was born
in Greensboro. She was reared in
Greensboro. She graduated from
Woman’s College in Greensboro.
She has remained in Greensboro
most of her life, and she plans to
die here also. She claims it’s a
very dull life. Even though Miss
Causey hasn’t lived very far from
here at any length of time, she
has done a lot of traveling to
points of interest in the U. S. She
has spent nineteen of her years
teaching English and dramatics.
Being dramatics teacher is a hard
job because of all the work con
nected with advising debates,
orations, and plays put on by the
students in the dramatic club.
Miss Causey’s activities do not end
at being a teacher. She is also very
active in the community. She is
Vice President of English Teachers
Commission of the city, and she
is a member of the State Text
Book Commission.
U. N. C. Graduate
Mr. Underwood has spent his
twenty-eight years in many differ
ent activities. He graduated from
the University of N. C. with his
A. B. and Masters degree. He
attended the University Grenoble
Southern France in the province
of Isere. During the war he was

a news contributor for the Stars
and Stripes, and he was on the
staff of his company’s newspaper.
Underwood has acted in several
French plays presented by La
Maieon Froneors at the Universi
ty of North Carolina. He has been
teaching Journalism and English
at Senior High for the last six
years. Besides this he is also
advisor for the advertising
and literary staff on the
school paper, High Life. His posi
tion as adviser includes many ac
tivities such as supervising make
up of the paper, consulting the
printers; and he also acts as
chaperone for many trips which
are related to the staff’s work.
Miss Tuttle, the music teacher
at Senior, was born in Walnut
Cove, N. C., and she spent most
of her youth there. She attended
Lynchburg College where she re
ceived her A. B. degree. She has
done graduate work at the Uni
versity of N. C., Woman’s College,
Columbia, and North Western.
When asked how long she had
been teaching, her answer was
“Too many years to want to re
member.’’ Besides being a music
teacher, she had spent a few
years of her life teaching math,
social studies, French, art; and
she spent one year in teachings
basketball. Some of Miss Tuttle’s
favorite expressions are “Namby-
Pamby-Buzzard” and “Billy Goat.”
Oh, you know those bars on the
windows in the music room—well,
they weren’t there until she came
here!
Tuttle Teaches
Another difficult job at Senior
is being music teacher. Miss Tut
tle not only teaches the choir, but
also the girls’, boys’, and the ad
vanced glee club. She spends
most of her time during the year
getting her students ready for all
the programs which they attend.
Each year the music department
takes two or three trips out of
town. One of these is usually spent
at High Point at the state contest,
but this year the contest was held
at Raleigh. Singing in town at the
Rotary or Civitan Clubs is a very
common duty of the group. Miss
Tuttle’s classes usually get a good

rating in any of the contests which

Mr. Jamieson, the boy’s physical
education teacher, was born in
New Jersey in 1910, and he spent
most of his early life there. Get
ting into trouble was his favorite
passtime as a child. He didn’t play
football until he entered Guilford
College. After that playing foot
ball, track, and basketball in
terested him a great deal. Besides
teaching physical education he
has taught Biology, English, and
History. Advising the girls’ swim
ming team is his favorite hobby.
Mr. Jamieson is a family man.
He has a wife, two daughters, and
a son. He is also a member of the
Rotary Club, and he belongs to
the West Market Street Methodist
Church. He is very interested in
civic work.
During football and basketball
season, Mr. Jamieson and the
team spend a lot of time after
school practicing for their games.
Franklinville, Home Town
Mr. Routh came to us from
Franklinville, N. C. He graduated
from the University of N. C. in
1926 with his A. B. degree, and
a few years later he graduated
from Columbia with his Master’s
degree. He has not alway been a
principal as we now know him.
He spent the other eight teaching
different subjects. Being a princi
pal isn’t a very easy job. Besides
many other things, Mr. Routh
serves as financial adviser for the
year book and newspaper at
Senior. Another big job is trying
to answer the questions of 1400
teachers and students. His duties
extend much further. Not only is
he a family man, but he has also
served as president for the Rotary
Club and Y. M. C. A.
Scholaslic Magazine
Offers Art Awards
For the twenty-fifth year.
Scholastic Magazines announce the
Scholastic Art Awards for the
encouragement of art ability
among senior and junior high
school students of the nation. In
conducting this program with the
co-operation of public-spirited
sponsors, they have succeeded in
reaching a real milestone this
school year: A Silver Anniversary!
Regional exhibitions give stu
dents the opportunity for local
recognition of their work. Na
tional honors consist of tuition
scholarships to leading art schools,
cash awards, and representation
in the National High School Art
Exhibition at the Fine Arts Gal
leries of Carnegie Institute in
Pittsburgh.
Greensboro Senior High School
has the honor of sending the work
of nine students to this national
judging in Pittsburgh. Their work
was selected by a jury in Greens
boro before it was sent to the
national judging. The students who
had their work selected were:
Grade ten—John Loy; grade
eleven, Ben Nita Black, Carole
Smith, Alec Dermatas, Frances
Hosley, and Sylvia Phillips; grade
twelve—Julia Blanchard.
The pictures are classified in
separate divisions before they are
judged. Entries contributed by the
students from Senior High were
under the following classification:
Water color, chalk, crayon, oil
painting, pen and ink, and a
fashion design. There are many
otrer divisions in the contest but
none were submitted by the stu
dents here.
Students winning national hon
ors will be notified early in May
through their principal, to whom
checks and certificates will be
mailed by Scholastic Magazine for
presentation at assembly.
The faculty is a group of people
paid to help the seniors run the
school.
