■ March 8, 1955 High Life Page Seven Plans Of Class Of 1955 Revealed In Recent Polls By Ann Harris Have you always harbored a suppressed desire to be a garbage man? One of our students here at GHS revealed this amazing am bition in my recent poll of seniors’ plans for the future. In answer to the all-important question “Are you planning to attend college?” over 66 per cent replied yes, which means that we give approximately 50 colleges and universities reason to open their doors next Septem ber. Woman’s College leads the Hit Parade with 33 of our fair damsels already accepted, with UNC hold ing a close second of 24 scholars. Nineteen fellows will make State their “home away from home,” and Guilford will be invaded by 17 degree hopefuls. Because the secretarial profession is such a popular one with members of the female sex, 12 of them will con tinue their studies at King’s Bus iness School. Eight young ladies wish to make like “Florence Night ingale” and enter nursing school. To round out the list of North Carolina’s colleges, seven students plan to attend Duke; four, Wake Forest; four, East Carolina, and three to Greensboro College. The following institutions of higher learning will receive two of our graduates; Queens, Pfeif fer, Mars Hill, Lees-McRae, West ern Carolina, Appalachian. David son, and the Univesity of Georgia. It seems “variety is the spice of. life” when you consider that only Grad Gab Biology Students Conduct Rv Pave Watson ^ • SchooKs First Science Fair By Faye Watson Beta Theta Pi Fraternity of the University of North Carolina has been named the outstanding pledge one of our seniors will attend Rich mond Professional Institute. Sul- lins, Mary Baldwin, the University of Miami, High Point College, the University of Montana, Presbyter ian Junior College, University of Maryland, Peace, Gaston, Elon, Sweet Briar, Flora McDonald, Hol lins, • the University of Florida, Meredith, William and Mary, Cor nell, Southeastern Beauty College, Salem, Agnes Scott, Saint Mary’s, Harvard, Yale, and Slippery Rock State Teachers College. Of those who do not plan to at tend college, 70 of our students have already lined up jobs to bring in that all-important cash. The 80 per cent of future GHS grad uates who have chosen tljeir life time occupation, 20 per cent wish to be -secretaries. Since it would be impossible to list the many vocations chosen, here are some interesting ones—professional golf er, forestry, fishery work, and millionaires. I’d like to know the last person’s formula for “getting rich quick.” Probably the most fascinating part of the survey asked was “Are you planning marriage as a part of your future?” I was pleased to find that 77 per cent of our lovers do plan to tie the matrimonial knot. It is also interesting to note that 12 students have already taken the step. If only there were some way I could give these same people the same questionnaire a year from now, it would be interesting to see how many minds have changed.
