FT A Presents Assembly;
Tatum Is Guest Speaker
Home Economics Groups
Have Grooming Contest
Judged on points of good groom
ing, Toby Stanley, senior, was
named winner in the contest “Who
Is Madame X?” last Tuesday, April
17. in the first period Home Eco
nomics 2 class.
Dianne Dixon, junior, and Kay
Tidwell, sophomore, placed second
and third in the contest in which
each member of the class, after
careful thought, secretly voted few*
the girl whom they considered the
best groomed, not just for that
day, but all the time.
'The girls have been studying
grooming for the past two weeks,
and as a c«nclusion to the unit.
Miss Bettie Potts, student teacher
at Woman’s College, who helps in
the home economics classes during
first and second periods, suggested
that they hold a good grooming
contest. Good grooming is a lasting
achievement, though, and to con
tinue it, each girl has her own
project in which she strives to
improve one particular aspect of
herself.

their chaperones, Mr. and Mrs.
J. K. Harriman, Mr. and Mrs.
Robert Fredrickson, and Mr. and
Mrs. A. P. Routh, left Greensboro

and continued the trip until they
jeachl^ Louisville, Kentucky,
where they spent the night in a
motel.
Early To Rise
Awakened early Sunday morn
ing, the voyagers hurried to get on
the buses so that they would reach
St. Louis at 6 p. m. After checking
in at the Statler Hotel and eating
supper, many of them went to see
the Cinerama. Early Monday
morning the department stores
were overrun by Greensboro High
School teenagers. After eating
lunch, they went sightseeing; they
went to the zoo, gardens, parks
until 4 p. m., with the rest of the
afternoon free. At the Kiel Audi
torium Monday night, they heard
the National Orch^tra, Band, and
Choir. The choir alone contained
500 voices. One girl commented
that the music sounded like
“heaven and angles.”
Tuesday morning at 8 a. m. the
buses took them to the Grover
Cleveland High School, which has
an enrollment of 1600 students,
to hear another orchestra that was
invited to St. Louis.
Practice Preparation
FYom 10 o’clock until noon, the
GHS orchestra practiced in prep
aration for their 1:30 concert. At
noon, they had a free lunch and
toured the school.
Tuesday night was free and
many orchestra members went to
French, Chinese, and Italian Res
taurants, and Walgreen’s. The
French restaurant was described
as follows: “After going down a
flight of dark stairs, we found
ourselves in a room with violins
hanging on the walls. A little man
walked among the tables playing
a violin. At our request, he played
‘Dixie’.”
Wednesday morning, the awoke
at 6:30 a. m., and after eating
breakfast, left at 8 o’clock
for the Kiel Auditoriiun where
they played at 9 o’clock. Prom

discussions on “jazz” by several
leaders in the jazz field, one of
whom was Dave Brubeck. Later,
they heard a jazz band.
They ate lunch and left St. Louis
Wednesday, at 1:30 p. m.. and
stopped at Vincennes to eat sup
per. By 9 p. m. they had reached
Louisvile, Kentucky and spent the
night in the motel where they
had stopped on the way to St.
Louis.
Trip Back Home
•Thursday morning they were
awakened by the telephones in
their rooms. When they answered
the telephones a voice said, “It’s
4 o’clock.” A few of the girls who
didn’t know that they were sup
posed to get up then to leave,
merely said, “Thank you” to the
voice. At 5 o’clock, they ate break
fast. and by 6:15 they were on the
buses leaving for home. Their
next stop was for lunch at Mid-
dleboro, Kentucky. One girl re
marked, “I surely didn’t see any
Hlue grass?” In Asheville, North
Carolina, they ate supper, and at
12:15 Thursday night they arrived
in Greensboro.
On their trip, they crossed the
Mississippi, Ohio, and White
Rivers, which “wasn’t white at
«1I.” There was a craze for big
stuffed animals, so the bus was
filled with them coming back.
Many articles were cheaper there
than they are here. Also contrary
to Greensboro, in St. Louis, they
found it hard to cross the streets,
for there were very few stoplights.
