NEW SOPHOMORE BAND REALLY DOES LIVE-IT-UP" WITH REAL HOT MUSIC rri Hailing from Bindley, Central and Aycock Junior High Schools are the 11 members of the newly organized sophomore band. These boys are Edwin Wall, playing string base; Cooper Null, the drums; Ron nie Fullington, 'trombone; Bill Ward, trombone; Bee Corey, alto sax; Sammy Cabe, alto sax; Dennis Maynard, tenor sax; Davis Bowen, trumpet; Carl Tate, piano; Bobby Johannesen, base clarinet; and’Bob Taborn substituting for Davis Bow en at dances. Organized chiefly for the pur pose of the sophomore assembly program, these gay-heads are now making big plans for the future, which include playing for the Sig nets’ dance on April 22 at the Elks Club. They_ are also plan ning to play for a dance in Win ston-Salem, which Mr. Clifford Bong, GHS history teacher, ar ranged for them. No definite date has been set thus far. The boys played for some of the skits in the assembly in whioh candidates for offices of GHS were presented. The one big plan so far is for the boys to secure a sophomore vocalist who will help out in all programs. School Secreiary Does Much For High School Trying to interview a school secretary is not as easy as it may appear. It involves getting into the office and then trying to ask a few questions between a million and one phone calls plus many other interruptions. Mrs. W.W.Maione is one of the peo- pie who is seldom seen, but does a big job for GHS. She is Mr. Routh’s personal secretary, and works on a 12 month basis with a two week vacation. To hear her explain her work makes it sound so simple, yet it keeps her busy from 8:15 to 4:15 Monday through Friday. Mrs. Malone was born in Cin cinnati, Ohio, and went to school there. After graduating from high school in Florida she met William Malone, whom she later married, and, for a few years, settled down to the life of a housewife. She and her husband moved to Greensboro in 1952. She then took a business course at the College for Secretaries, and came to GHS to work. February was the second anniversary of her coming to GHS. Mrs. Malone has two children. One is a 15 year old boy, Dennis, who is in the ninth grade at Bind ley Junior High, and the other is a nine year old girl, Kathleen, who is in the fourth grade at Bindley Elementary. Although Mrs. Malone is ex tremely busy, she finds time for sports which she enjoys very much. Her favorite sports are tennis and swimming, and she also likes to square dance. The Torchlight Variety Show was the big obstacle in their path now, but these boys never give up, no Uiatter how stiff the competition. Edwin Wall and Cooper Null conceived the idea of the band and talked to the other fellows. “We didn’t have to do too much persuading,” said Ed Wall. Two of the members have fath ers who were once band leaders themselves. Cooper Null’s and Den nis Maynard’s fathers belonged to big name bands and later on had bands of their own. Cooper has never had a lesson on the drums. “Just picked it up from my pop,” he says grinning. Just recently the boys ordered approximately $50 worth of new music. “Each guy paid $5 and each one of us takes care of his own music,” commented Dennis May nard. Asked what type of songs they best like to play, everyone said “strictly bop; no long-hair stuff for us.” Practicing at least twice a week, the boys try to secure the school to do so, but when complications set in, they “head for one of the fellow’s houses.” “When we practice we really practice!” remarks Davis Bowen. Having no complaints from the neighbors so far, the boys “go wild at the end of practice.” Some say Ed Wall, the little guy with the big voice, has to call them down every once in a while, but they don’t seem to mind. “Whatever Ed wants to do is OK with us” say the boys. The majority of the band mem bers play either with the school band or with the school orchestra. The boys say they are running into a little trouble “trying to do our homework and practice at the same time, but we always work it out.” Besides having a band of their own, these fellows also find time to participate in outside activities. All of the members belong to some social club around GHS. Several of the boys ran for offices of their rising junior class. Although some of the members of the band are planning to move away this summer, Ed Wall, lead er says “the rest of us guys will stay together next year when we will niaybe ask more boys to join CENTER CLEANERS Summit Shopping Center Shop MATSON JOLINE for Your Party or Dance Dress SASLOW'S JEWELERS 214 S.

Three Boys Compete For Air Force Position Max Miller, Banks Ritchie, and Bill Hunter, seniors, went to Shaw Air Force Base in Sumter. South c;!arolina two weeks ago to com pete for a position in the new Air Force Academy in Denver. Colorado. These boys took many tests to find out if they are to be selected for this position. Max was appoint ed by the North Carolina senator, Kerr Scott, and Banks and Bill by representative Carl Durham. For the first year there will be approximately 300 boys selected to attend. They are being picked by each state. The group which Max, Banks, and Bill are in is composed of about 140 boys. Only seven of these boys will be able to attend the academy and be able to say that they were in the first graduating class. When the boys went to the Air" Force base, they stayed four days. The first two days they spent taking .^itten aptitude tests and during the remaining days they took phys ical examinations. McFALLS Sunset Hills Drug Co.
