Well, well, caught in the act!
Miss X seems to be getting in
some practice for the future. A
bit of advice to Mr. X: “Best bet
ter not be late for Miss X another
time.” We’ll leave them to the
fate of the rolling pin for awhile.
Our Daily Doubles are both
juniors and have been going steady
since June 30, 1955.

attends South Elm Street Baptist
Church. His school activities in
clude being a junior marshal, and
playing the comet in the March,
ing Band. Mr. X, who went to
Gillespie before coming to Senior,
can be found usually with Lofus
Neese. His pet peeve is doing
homework.
These Daily Doubles agree that
their favorite song is “He,” but
they disagree on food. He likes
fried chicken while she prefers
Angel Hash.
Miss X, who came from Rankin,
attends the Buffalo Presbyterian
Church and is a member of the
FTA and the HIGH LIFE staif.
Her pet peeve, as we can gather
from the picture, is Mr. X's being
late. Miss X is an officer in the
county for the 4-H Club and can
usually be found with Helen Payne.
Miss X recalls an amusing in
cident as “the time Mr. X was
teaching me to drive and I almost
tore up his car. He thought it was
“Earn while you learn” is the
motto of the Diversified Occupa
tions office practice workers who
are students in the morning and
paid employees in the afternoons.
The 50 junior and senior girls
who make up the D.O. group this
year are just like all the rest of
the students from 8:30 a. m. until
12 p. m. But at that time they
leave all that behind to take their
places in the affairs of the busi.
ness world of the city.
These girls study many text
books, such as business magazines,
fashion magazines, booklets, news
papers, and the literature of the
companies who cooperate with
Mrs. Kathryn McEntire, the D.O.
coordinator, and the school. They
are also learning the three R’s,
reading, writing, and arithmetic.
These are studied so that the stu
dent will be a well-adjusted mem
ber of the business community, so
she will understand others; and
so that she will understand herself.
Good personal grooming a pleas
ing personality, and a willingness
to wot*k are their most effective
tools on the job, besides the basic
technical skills.
The firms of the city have re
peatedly evidenced their interest
in this’ program by employing the
studenj: learners year after year.
The companies who take part range
from Pilot Life Insurance Com.
pany, Blue Bell, and Burlington
Industries to small offices in which
the D.O.er may be the only office ,
worker, besides the boss. Approxi- ^
mately 50 different kinds of jobs
and 25 different companies are
represented. The jobs vary from
Ediphone operators and library
to telephone operators and library
assistants.
The D. O. coordinator is gladly
given permission by the companies
to go into the departments to see
how her students are getting along
and to give them some pointers
on how to improve on the job.
This helps the employers rather
than hinders them, because they
know that the time the teacher
takes will be made up in improved
office skills and manners.
Besides the class work and the
“laboratory work” these girls find
time for weiner roasts, field trips,
and movies about subjects which
are related to their jobs.
Student Teachers From Colleges
Gain Experience In GHS Classes
Have you ever wondered about
the student teachers who are work
ing here—where they came from,
where they plan to go after grad
uating from college, and what they
want to teach? Well, here’s some
first-hand information about five
of the student teachers.
Miss Margaret Ann White, a sen.
ior at Guilford College, is teach
ing English in one of Mrs. Jean
Newman’s classes. Miss White, who
attended Woodland-Olney High
School in her hometown, Wood
land, North Carolina, plans to
teach English in Maryland next
year. Besides being president of
the Women’s Student Government,
Miss White is a member of the
Guilford College A Cappella choir,
a member of the Honor Board,
the Woman’s Athletic Association,
and is vice-president of the Stu
dent Affairs Board. When asked
what her impression of Senior High
was, Miss White replied, “An hour
a day can hardly give one a com
plete picture. Even so, my impres
sion is that Senior is quite an
outstanding high school.”

Teaching French in Miss Estelle
Mitchell’s class is Mrs, Ulle Shoaf,
who is a senior at Guilford Col.
lege. She graduated from Bridge-
ton High School in Bridgeton, New
Jersey. Mrs. Shoaf, who is a mem
ber of the International Relations
Club, Future Teachers of Ameri
ca, and the French Club, plans
to teach in Winston-Salem next

In one of Mrs. Grace Alton’s
Algebra 1 classes is Miss June
Bunn, who is majoring in mathe
matics' at Greensboro College. She
graduated from Nashville High
School in NashviUe, North Caro
lina, her hometown and hopes to
teach next year in Maryland. Miss
Bunn," a member of the Math
Club, Future Teachers of America,
and the College Honor Society
says, “Coming from a small col
lege as well as a small high school,
my first impression of Senior High
v/as one of Its large size. However,
I soon found that the students
were just as friendly and courteous
as were those of the smaller edu
cational system. Through my pleas
ant contacts with Greensboro Sen
ior High students, faculty, and
administration, this first step in
the profession of my choice has
been both challenging and inspir
ing.”
Miss Alice Normile, a Guilford
College senior, is .teaching one of
Mrs. Blanche Spiith’s history class
es. She attended the Melbourne
High School in Melbourne, Florida,
and hopes to teach at the New
England High School. Miss Nor

very friendly for such a large
schobl,” Miss Normile says of
Senior High.
Teaching history in one of Mr.
Long’s classes is Charles Trafford,
who is majoring in history at
Guilford College. Mr. Trafford,
who attended Manasquan High
School in Manasquan, New Jersey,
has no definite plans as to where
he will teach next year.
“I believe I shall teach in New
Jersey or Pennsylvania for a few
years and then go into Educational
Services for Public Schools in
Pennsylvania,” says Mr. Trafford.
He is the treasurer of the Senior
Class at Guilford, president of
the College History Club, a mem
ber of the Monogram Club and
Future Teachers of America Club.
He also has played varsity base
ball for three years and was cap
tain last year. Says Mr. Trafford,
‘Senior High has impressed me
very favorably. The organization
of students and activities is very
well-rounded and is very important
toward good school life. The stu
dents are attentive and well-dis
ciplined and the friendly attitude
of all the people, faculty, and
students, makes one feel comfort
able and at home. It was with
great surprise that I recognized
the conscientious effort of the stu
dents to get an .education.”

Hobby Horsing
By Judy Shallant
Did you know that we have right
here in Greensboro one of the
most beautiful and largest toy
and hobby stores in the entire
South: namely the Summit Toy
and Hobby Shop in the Summit
Shopping Center plenty of free
parking).
On this trip I was interested
in games suitable for us teen
agers.
I never realized that so many
games existed; the Summit Toy
Store certainly .did not miss me.
For the more serious ones, there
is a very big selection of’ chess
sets, even extra boards. For those
who follow fhe TV shows, I no
ticed; Masquerade Party, Truth or
Consequences, What’s My Line,
etc., all priced very reasonably.
But I like excitement, and by
gosh, they do have exciting, thrill
ing games, like Mr. Rhee, Clue, and
a few other detective games.
Much to my surprise, I saw
quite a few "Scrabbles”, that fa
mous word-game (which is still
hard to get, so I understand).
The Summit Toy and Hobby
Store certainly has a vast selec
tion.—Ad.
