For this she was the first teacher to re ceive the Greensboro, Industries Dr. Franklin McNutt award. Mrs. Hazelman plans to speak on “Teaching—Its Advantages and Disadvantages.” Each year the club has a teach er who is outstanding, as well as notable to speak at the spring meeting. “We are quite fortunate.” says Carolyn, “in having Mrs. Hazelman as our speaker.

Other officers are Jackie Mabie, vice-president; and Kay Kuykendall, secretary. Miss Lucille Browne, guidance director, and L. W. Anderson, assistant principal, are co-advisers of the club. Kerford and Groome Profit at Boys' State While at Chapel Hill “Hello, Judge Herford.” Senior Bob Herford has been deserving of that title, since this summer when he was elected Su preme Court Chief Justice at Boys’ State.

Both boys were members of the Federalist Party. Houston ran for Governor, and Bob was elected Supreme Court Chief Justice. Approximately 400 leaders from various North - Carolina high' schools attended the convention, the purpose of which was leader ship training. The boys attended 22 lectures given by out standing govern ment officials. Among these were Thad Eure, Secretary of State, and Ed ward S h e i d t, commissioner of Motor Vehicles in North Caro lina. As Judge Herford says, “It was the craziest politicin’ I’ve ever seen. “It was just about the most wonderful trip I’ve ever been on. All the boys were outstanding, and about the friendliest I’ve ever seen. I feel that I can say for Houston and myself, that we de rived a great deal from the train ing we received there.” THE BOOKWORM New Books Attract Much Attention In Senior High School^s Library BY JACKIE HENDRIX One of the books best attract ing the attention of the boys is Pictorial History of the Automobile frem 1903-1953 as seen in Motor Magazine.
