December 17, 1954 High Life Page Three Lucky members of the band prep are for their jaunt to Chicagro. (Notice, the pictured conveyance is a freigrht train.) Dressed to suit the Windy City climate are Alan Pultz, Tommy Myers, Shelly Mor- banstem (already eyeing the Chi cago direction.) Mary Jane Boydell, Pat Leary, and Kay Stewart. By now, the musicians have tom the city apart, but when they come home they will have feathers in their caps. Concert Band Goes West For Chicago Convention On Tuesday December 14, the concert band left here for Chica go by way of Southern Railway to play for the National Midwest Band Clinic. Before arriving Tn Chicago at noon on Wednesday, they stopped in Cincinnati for breakfast. They checked in at the‘Sheridan Hotel and then went to rehearse in the ballroom of the hotel where the clinic was held. That night the band went to hear the Air Force Band play. Thursday morning the band had free tiihre,'‘’and in the afternoon they rehearsed ^^d'r the concert to be given that night. Then Thurs day night they gave a two-and- one-half hour performance. Friday morning the band mem bers went to see “Breakfast Club” after which they had a four hour tour of Chicago. That night the members who purchased tickets to the “King and I” attended that musical. The band will leave Sat urday at noon for Greensboro and will arrive here Sunday morning. Film was sent with the band and pictures were taken during each day. The day’s film was flown air mail back to Greensboro and shown on Evening Edition that night. It cost the band $7,500 to make this trip possiblt, and they helped to earn this money by giv ing two concerts and by sponsor ing the Navy Band, which gave three performances in Greensboro on December 2. The band played 18 pieces. One of these, “Pride of the Midwest,” was written especially for the band to premiere at the clinic. The other numbers played were “Theme and Variations,” “Pieces of Eight”, “Second Concerta”, “Thompette Et Tambour,” “Spiritual,” which is only 37 measures long, “The Wbt poar an^^ /Casitle i / Greerisboro’s Mosy Popular ,Sandwich/Shop Spacilus lurking Ground West Market Street Ext.

Organization Allied Youth opened its member ship to all students at Senior High School on Thursday, December 2, and closed it on Friday, Decem ber 3. Miss Joyce Bateman and Mr. Lody Glenn, Allied Youth advisers, called a meeting of the old Allied Youth Members on December 1, at 3:30 p. m. in the school auditorium. The purpose of this meeting was for instructions to be given on the enrolling of new members. Or December 2 and 3 the old members read the pledge of Allied Youth to members of their home rooms and anyone who wished to join was allowed to do so. Dues for the year are 50 cents. Old members were not required to pay due? since they paid in May. The membersnip drive resulted with 120 new members and 135 renewals', making a total of 255 members now in the Allied Youth. At the close of school last year the graduating seniors decreased the organization’s membership from 250 to approximately 150 members, according to Miss Batem'an. Combs, Bears, Toothpicks Suggested For Presents It wouldn’t fake an Einstein to tell you that Christmas is not very far in the future. The spirit of the holidays seems to be in the air. As one sophomore put it, “I used to look forward to Christmas only as a time for getting out of school, but now I feel that presents are also of major importance.” Right you are, sophomore! And in case you’ve been procrastinating your gift-buying until this late date, here are some suggestions that will bring a twinkle into the recipient’s eye. For the man of your dreams, what could be more ideal than a Liberace special? This is a com bination toothbrush, hairbrush, and candelabra. This is a very practi cal gift and ne which no man should be without. The reason for this is quite obvious ... so obvious, in fact, that no explanation shall be given at this time. For the man of your nightmares, how about a combination fine toothless Eng lish vomb, bristleless hairbrush, and faceless clock? Another problem that always arises is that of a gift for someone who has everything. Perhaps she 34 In School, Members Of State's '55 Ensemble Thirty-four members of the Sen ior High School Orchestra will par ticipate in the 1955 North Carolina All State Orchestra to be held in Winston-Salem on January 20, 21, and 22.

It’s certain she doesn’t have one of these, as one has yet to be invent ed. So get her the patent, fc one. This quite simplifies the matter. Some members of your list which you simply can’t overlook are the kiddies, whether they are little brothers or sisters or just neighbor hood pets. For the little shavers who are experiencing for the first time the sensation of teeth, noth ing could be more appropriate than a diamond-studded toothpick. The Diamonds are casually imbedded in the silver-Mahogany 16-inch handle. When Mama says, “Baby, get your hands out of your mouth,” baby will be able to obey with the greatest of ease and all because you were sensible enough to pur chase for him this wonderful little number. Also, it can be converted into a baton or a magic wand upon occasion. Just think, all this for only 10%' of Fort Knox! ■ For the Junior Miss, can you picture anything sweeter and fur rier than a ruddly cashmere and mink Teddy Bear with genuine pearl eyes? For the older kids and the in- telligencia, what could be more elegant than a ruby encrusted Scrabble game? Instead of run- of-the-mill tiles, this set contains emerald one-point squares, sap phire two-point squares, and a com bination of both these gems for all higher numerals. This can be purchased from any good department store at the reas onable price of $3,000. Sorry, only one to a customer. Last, but certainly not least, are Mom and Pop. La piece de re sistance will of course be the matching Mr. and Mrs. Santa Claus suits. But how about that extra little something that can mean (and cost) so much? Then what could be more appropriate in this cold- catching season than kleenex. Not ordinary kleenex by any mean- but a fine hand-embroidered silk and silver thread hanky. The price is really very low, but for lack of space it will not be announced here. Oh yes, for a few extra pennies they can be monogramed. but the beauty of this masterpiece is the wearability of it. It is guaranteed for one sneeze and a half.
