April 22, 1955 High Life Page Three Proxies Dominate History W ith Daring HairShades “Hey, Proxie! Not you, Rotten Roots!” yodels a student as he spouts forth the call of the wild —that is, wild about proxies. If you have been laboring under the misconception that bleached hair is comparatively new, not so. Through the ages peroxide has served as the weapon femmes fatales use in a moment of despera tion. It dates back as far as the cave man’s days when there was no such thing as moonsheen. Lacking this present-day luxury, the girls resorted to bird eggs. As time passed, the gals graduated to more modem ways of lightening their locks. Science perfected a new product—Redwop, spelled back wards—powder. This was made of lye, which quickly solved all hair problems for the time being as it eliminated all traces of said hair and accompanying heads. In the feudal ages tinted coif feurs were utterly passe. In fact, so were coiffeurs in general. There fore, high society accepted only chrome domes into their select circles. Confuscius say: “Him who de sire hair like mine, dunk head in amalgamated egg foo-,yung shell. Be sure head sanforized o'r it not fit in shell.” When the Europeans journeyed to the new world for exploration, the first utterance they heard from the Indians was the very flattering, “Ugh! Your Hairum-scareum me.” At this, the insulted explorers sheepishly scurried back to Ye Olde Barber Parlor for anterior improvements. During the Civil War, Mammy’s little baby loved shortnin’ bread, because it left her hair so soft, shiny, and easy to manage. For the poor people who didn’t have the Jerry Varner, D. E/er Journeys To Virginia For Natl Convention President of the Distributive Education Club of Greensboro Sen ior High, Jerry Varner went to Richntond, Virginia, on April 17 to attend the National Convention of Distributive Education Clubs of America. Jerry, who in addition to being president of the local D.E. Club, is also president of the N. C. cen tral district and president of the State organization. Send Only One Delegate Although the ninth Annual DECA Convention was a big event, GHS was able to send only one delegate. Jerry made the trip to Richmond along with several oth er members of D.E. from High Point. Jerry attended the convention for the purpose of being a mem ber of the Board of Governors. The DECA ■ president, vice-president, secretary, treasurer, regional vice- president and one student and sponsor from each member state compose the Board of Governors. Committees Plan Work The Board of Governors, plus several other committees, work and plan the activities for the D.E. during the future year. Some of the committees are member- shipi constitution, charter, and public relations and publication. Jerry returned to Greensboro on Wednesday, April 20, after three days packed completely full of hard planning, work, enter tainment, and sight-seeing tours.

Helen Dickerson revolutionized the entire industry with her “pe ruke” restorer which could be ap plied simply by soaking the noodle in a bucket of matzo balls and letting curdle for six hours and twenty minutes. The Germans were a clan that had no contingency. They just grabbed a bomb and blew their heads off. After recovering from the initial shock, they would ex claim, “Ach! I’m minus mein haid!” But this made life much simpler anyway. Martians (from Mars, to be sure) are also devoted to altering their topknot shades. Their chief method is pouring their heads into craters (after removing brains, of course) and massaging stardust into unoc cupied pores. The final outcome is sparkling head holes. Moving up to the present day, one encounters Hairy Harry and Hairy Harriette, two perfect spec imens of Roux. They are typical high school students available on every campus. They labor in their secret labs daily to concoct new shades of blonde to outdo any at tempts of their ancestors. Many chemicals are used in the prepa ration, but the king pen is plain old household ammonia mixed with peroxide. All minglements, how ever, are not foolproof, since the applier may wind up with orange, green, or red hair, depending upon 8 Girls From School Pass First Aid Exam Leah Miller, Jean Sutherland, Jane Tate, Barbara Thomas, Pad dy Sue Wall, Valinda Beall, Phyl lis Brooks, and Holly Deifell re cently received certification from the local chapter of the Red Cross for a first aid course they com pleted under the instruction of Mr. Garland Miurray, safety di rector.

Tre group learned how to make various, bandages to stop bleeding, how to care for broken limbs, and how to give ar tificial respiration. These persons are now capable of administering any kind of first aid, if an emergency should occur. The Junior, Red Cross division at GHS consists of all students who contributed their time, efforts, and money to the program. During the year the Junior Red Cross has carried several programs of en tertainment to the Guilford Coun ty Home for the aged and have made various things for veterans in hospitals. The Red Cross Council is headed by Jean Sutherland, pres ident, and the sponsor is Mrs. Jeanette McArthur. atmospheric conditions. The conclusion of this brief an alysis is that there always have been proxies and always will be. Band, Orchestra To Play At State Contest Festival Mr. J.
