Youthful Teachers On Their Toes’
After gazing intently at the var
ious faculty members over that
unbreakable barrier of desks, text
books, and square root signs, it is
a near impossibility to picture them
in any roll other than that of
guardians of wisdom’s sacred
torch.
But behind these awesome ex
teriors are souls that thrive on
domesticity and love nothing bet
ter than to keep the home fires
burning.
Of the 73 inspiring faculty mem
bers whose absent minded counte
nances do much more than artis
tically adorn the campus, 45 are
engaged in the holy state of matri
mony. To these, 38 little bundles
of bliss have been deposited on
their doorsteps.
Ages, often referred to as
^‘stages,” range from diapers to
college diplomas. Sizes of families
vary from the pitiable status of
an only child to those whose homes
are blessed by the patter of many
little feet.
Father of the largest brood of
wall markers is Mr. J. Stanley
Johnson. Three of his children have
already toddled through these hal
lowed halls, and following Frances,
Stan Jr., and Jean are Owen and
Dale.
The fact that so many faculty
members lead the double lives of
educators and parents offers a
reasonable explanation as to why
they are given credit for being
mind readers. Who else, other than
a parent, could possess the ability
needed to predict the actions of the
normal teen-ager?

Two GHS teachers pose for the camera as they take time out from
comparing notes on dancing. Pat Helgesen, right, and Julianna

Johnson Supports Brood Of Five
Disproving the old adage that
teachers are people with their noses
stuck in books are two pretty GHS’-
ers, Pat Helgesen and Juliannd
Clark, dance instructors on Satur
days.
Pat’s working day begins at 11
o’clock at the King Cotton Hotel.
Teaching children aged four to
eleven to do acrobatic, tap, toe, and
ballet, dancing is the favorite past
time of Pat. “I really love it! They
are so cute!” she said in her dis
tinct Charleston drawl.
After coming to GHS from
Charleston in her junior year, Pat
joined the Junior Red Cross and
the library council. This year she
became a member of the (jWI club
and is a home room president in
addition to being a silver star
wearer.
Julianna, better known as J.
C., is an old hand to the teaching
profession. She has been teaching
for Mickey Garrett for the past
three years. Her pet peeve among
the children to whom she teaches
(:ap, toe, ballet and acrobatic danc
ing, are those who don’t practice.
They keep the whole class behind
when they don’t.” she explained.

One Act Plays Ordered
By GHS Drama Coach
Fourteen one act plays have
been ordered from the Dramatic
Publishing Company in Chicago,
Illinois, by Miss Mozelle Cauusey,
dramatics coach, for the annual
spring contest.
Every year the sophomores, jun
iors, and seniors present a one act
play. The winning class receives the
One Act Play drama cup and is
then eligible to take the play to
Chapel Hill for the Annual State
Drama Festival.
All three plays will be presented
at 8 p. m., April 2, in the audito
rium.
As soon as the play books arrive,
the drama groups will make their
selections. Casting and rehearsals
will begin at that time.
GHS Hews Reported
On T. V. By Massey
WFMY’s television spotlight
turns on Barbara Massey and GHS
each Thursday afternoon during
Carolina Calling from 4:30 to 5:30.
This feature had its beginning
when on January 14, Barbara and
other members of the cast of “One
Foot In Heaven” chatted informally
to advertise that production. The
following week, Barbara presented
Nancy McGlamery who read her
prize-winning essay, “What Ameri
ca Means to Me.”
Barbara, who is appearing on
TV in connection with her work
for the Daily News, plans to present
more school talent and to keep
Greensboro informed about what
GHS is doing.
For The Royal Sense Of Humor
by the jester
From Columbus’ mistaken idea
that he had discovered India when
he had not even gotten as far as
Indiana, to DAS KAPUTALL, a
book on Communism written by
Karl, the oldest of the Marx broth
ers, IT ALL STARTED WITH
COLUMBUS is a book which is
highly recommended by even such
authorities on American History as
Mrs. Blanche Smith.
Pantsy de Lion, Wild Bill Hick-
up, and the Alien and Seduction
Act, are a few of the wildly dis
torted dramas of the volume. The
exciting account of the way Dolly
Madison carried off the Washing
ton Monument to keep the British
from burning it is told with as few
undistorted words as is possible,
since the event occurred so many
years ago.
.Bold Strokes, Turning Points,
and Significant Contributions are
there in dusty profusion, and Harry
Truman, Poll Takers, U. N. (which
stands for many things, being a
remarkably patient group) and
other oddities combine to make
this a thoroughly delightful vol
ume.
Sister History
Seniors and sophs taking World
History will, no doubt, receive
much benefit from the Sellar and
Yeatman rendition of the way
things have been for many years
in 1066 AND ALL THAT. One
hundred and three Good Things,
five bad kings, and two genuine
dates comprise this book. With its
hilarious tests at the end of each
chapter, and its version of the
Magna Garta, Gray’s Energy In A
Country Churchyard, and the Ve
nomous Bead, this little book def
initely should be read to be fully
appreciated, and in the opinion of
many, is superior to the sister
volume.
Life Of The Party
For the less intellectual student,
the book of DROODLES provides
hours of entertainment both in
class and at less formal affairs.
The life of the party, the crasher,
and the drip all have a copy of the
drawings, and those who don’t
may buy one for only $1.
Although the above mentioned
printers’ horrors cannot be guar
anteed as parallel reports, they
are well worth the time and eye-
strain spent.
