Jackson Speaks
To F.T.A. Group
Miss Lucille Browne, Guidance
Director of Greensboro City
Schools, opened the meeting of the
Future Teachers of America on
February 18, from 2:30-3:30 in the
Senior High School auditorium.
Miss Browne introduced appli
cations for a one hundred dollar
scholarship. The scholarship is of
fered by the Delta Gamma Cappa
organization, which is composed of
teachers. All who planned teach
ing as a definite future were en
titled to fill out an application for
the scholarship. Miss Brown said
that the applications must be filled
out and turned in to Mr. L. W.
Anderson by February 28. Jean
Bateman won the scholarship last
year.
Paddy Sue Wall, student at
Senior and president of the F.T.A.,
introduced Doctor W. C. Jackson,
the guest speaker.
Dr. Jackson talked to the group
On “Teaching as a Profession.” He
suggests that teaching should not
be chosen as a profession unless
it is by one who really enjoys
being around children. If you are
really interested in teaching, you
should go into that field he ad
vised.
“I’ve studied law and had many
opportunities to go into business,
but I chose to remain in school
work, and I have never regretted
it for one moment.” This was one
of the comments made by Dr.
Jackson.
Dr. Jackson is the former Chan
cellor of Woman’s College, Dean,
and History Professor at W. C. He
was at one time Vice President
of the Phi Betta Kappa. He has
taught in every phase of teaching
and was once principal of Senior
High.
DAILY DOUBLES
BY WANDA SLADE
Wednesday February 16, the
Beta Club took a survey on all
juniors of Senior High. In this
survXy the students were asked
what kind of course they were
taking and what college they would
like to attend after graduation.
The big school surveys are made
available to: State Departments of
Education, Federal Government
Agencies, and Approved Education
Institutions.
The reason for the survey is to
give the address of the stvdents
so the colleges can start mailing
out leaflets on the information of
the different colleges.
When the super highway behind Senior is completed, these two will
be prouder than most because they have helped clear part of the way
with the bulldozer.
Our brown haired Miss X seems
to be enjoying the ride on the
bulldozer. She is 5 feet, 5 inches
in height and has brown hair.
Coming from Lindley Jynior, she
is a sophomore who regularly at
tends the WST Club meetings.
English is her favorite subject.
Miss X’s pet peeve is “People who
are always telling me to hold my
shoulders up.” Besides taking
piano, she plays oboe for the band.
A future hope for our lady of the
week is to attend the Uni ^ersity
of Tennessee. She attends the First
Baptist Church.
Auburn hair, blue eyes, and a
height of 5 feet, 11 inches are the
descriptive words for this senior
boy. He plays the drums for the
concert band and for the orchestra.
Besides playing for these school
organizations, he is in the Greens
boro Symphony Orchestra. English
is his favorite subject. “She is
always borrowing my comb,” states
Mr. X when he was asked if he
had a pet peeve concerning Miss

Sfafe Latin Convention
To Meet At University
X. Re also attends the First Bap
tist Church. If Uncle Sam doesn’t
gel Mr. X, he plans to enter East
ern Carolina and major in music.
Our mystery couple of the week
met August 23 at a pre-school band
rehearsal. Five days later they
had their first date, and November
17 they started going steady. They
like to eat Submarine Hamburg
ers, their favorite food, while
listening to “Blue Mirage,” their
favorite song, by Percy Faith.
When asked who is the boss, the
answer was “50-50.”
You’ll find their names in a

How many draftsmen do you
know of the feminine gender?
Chances are, not many. But there
are two such ambitious junior girls
right here at Ye Alma Mater.
These two Women of Tomorrow
are Alice Pugh and Gloria Gaul-
den. Alice’s hopes are pinned on
being an interior decorator, while
Gloria intends to be a fashion de
signer. But what do these two have
in common? They both know how
to describe a chair.
Well, it really isn’t quite that
simple.,Actually, they are both in
the otherwise all-male drafting
class. What .do you learn in draft
ing? According to Alice, “If any
one asks you to describe a chair,
for example, you have to be able
to draw several different vie\vs
thoroughly and accurately to get
a true picture. And that's what
drafting is . . . drawing quickly
and accurately.” (When Alice
learned she was being interviewed
for High Life, she modestly point
ed out that she herself is quite
I an expert at drawing chairs.)
' How do ambitions of this kind
] begin? Because of her father’s
jwork in this field, Alice acquired
an interest in architecture. Gloria’s
first interests were also due to
paternal influence. However, their
course in drafting has modified
their ideas, for while both origin
ally planned to be architects, they
1 have both changed their minds to
i something definitely more in the
feminine line.
“Both these careers are centered
around drafting, mathematics, and
geometric processes,” explained
Alice. “In decorating, the knowl
edge of architectural drawing
gained in drafting is a necessity.
■The correct linos and proportions
iii u house depend upon the knowl
edge ij«l skill of s g -Ml di^/ts-
man.”
‘Drafting helps you to make pat
ter .i.s precisely and a':>jurately, and
tnis is an absolute necessity in
dress-making,” avouched Hattie
Carnegie Gaulden, who, having
made some of her own dresses,
speaks from experience. At first
Gloria was afraid that a great deal
of talent was essential for a fash
ion designer. But during Careers
Day she learned that this is not
necessary.
“WC, here we come!” is the cry
of these career gals. Alice hopes
to conquer the interior decorating
department. By the way, her father
still entourages all this, but Mom
has hopes of Alice's becoming a
school teacher. (To this Alice
strenuously objects). After a year’s
business course, Gloria first hopes
to wprk in a fashion business and
then .either to open her own dress
shop or to enter a couturiere’s es
tablishment.
Do these girls like drafting? “I
love it!” was Alice’s instant reply.
Gloria, at a loss for words expres
sive enough, merely explained why
she likes it with, “I guess I just
like it.” As for being in a class
full of boys, both agree that “you
hardly know it!”
But how does Mr. D. L. Darnell,
the drafting instructor, feel about
having two girls in. his class? “I
treat them as equals!”
Sion. Lunch in the Lenoir Hall
cafeteria will be followed by a
presentation at Morehead Plane
tarium entitled SUN, MOON, AND
PLANETS. Delegates will then
return to Carroll Hall for the aft
ernoon program including election
of new state officers.
speeches and textile identification.
The awards for these contests
and the banquet will be held at the
O. Henry Hotel.
The D.E. students running for
State officers this year are Jerry
Varner, president; Billy Matherly,
vice-president; and Betty Sue Col
lins, secretary and treasurer.

Madlin's Latin Pupils
Study Roman Culture
Mrs. Mary Madlin’s second year
Latin classes have recently been
doing library research on Roman
life and culture in connection with
their study of the ancient lan
guage.
Most students are doing individu
al projects on such topics as Roman
amusements, food, education, mar
riages, and other subjects pertain
ing to classical civilization. How
ever, some topics are so broad,
such as Roman, government and
religion, that several students have
collaborated or; them. Diana Har
mon and Eve Purdom are making
the costume of a Roman matron,
and "Jerry Danford is fashioning a
Roman soldier’s uniform. Both r
these costumes will be entered in
the Roman style show at the Junior
Classical Convention in Chapel
Hill on March 19.
