These select members of a Senior class typify exactly what the ideal studrat should not be, even though their antics were a part of a program centering around the ideal class. Bubble Gum ChewersPop Li\e Ideal English Pupils “Ker-fiooey!” Where in the world — or more appropriately — where in this high school can such a sound be heard? Of course, that sound could only belong to the popping of a bubble gum-produced bubble. And that bubble could only belong to an ideal senior English student. The standards of excel lence—attained by chewing—hav en’t as yet been accepted; but this particular method was the object of experimentation in a senior English class. The identity of the teacher will remain anonymous, at her request. How did this system happen to be used in a certain seventh period English class? The story goes that first semester the class elected officers with Donna Oliver serv- School Physics Students Compete In State Contest Two w'eeks ago, on April 13, approximately 65 Greensboro High School physics students took the state physics exam here at Senior. Stanley Johnson, physics teach er, sent the 13 best papers to the extension division of the univer sity’s physics department. The state winner will receive a $150 scholarship. All Senior High J^hysics students look this exam and 13 papers were selected as the best. The exam concerned mainly mechanics and heat. The students whose papers were selected are Jerry Danford, Henry Plynt, Barry Prahm, Bob Herford, Howard Hinshaw, Mike Powell, Edmund Schenck, Neil Renson, Kent Carter, John Gard iner, Dan McConnell, Grady Phil lips, and Dave Bescherer. The state winner will be an nounced by the physics depart ment of the University of North Carolina. Open Every Night Until 9 SUMMIT SHOPPING CENTER Greensboro, N. C. ing as president; Faye Puquay, \ice president and Becky Walters, secretary. The duties of these of ficers consisted mainly of plan ning programs for the enjoyment and education of the class. Well, brain storms whipped through the minds of these planners, and they hit upon the idea of depicting the “ideal class.” Naturally, “ideal” was a misnomer, for the class was to be anything but perfection. Amidst the cracking and pop ping of bubble gum, various mem bers of the class, introduced by Donna, presented attempted satiri cal examples of the material taken up second semester. Bob Guffey, Jimmy Edwards, Bunny Marshall, and Barbara Riddle had the major responsibilities of the satires. Still chewing, four members of the class, Kay Kuykendall, Nestus Gurley, Ginger Bass, and Giles Sheffield debated on questions concemir^ Samuel Johnson and bis biographers. The debate brofight to a close one day of having an “ideal class.” Without expressing a biased opinion, it is safe to assume that teachers do not desire such a group of juve niles in their classrooms. Girl Sportsters Take Play Trophy Awards Saturday, April 21, the Senior girl athletes attended the annual “triple A” high school play day in High Point where they won the girls’ sports trophy for 1957, which High Point has won for the last five years.

Whether the team wins or loses is a question for the future, but one thing is for sure; there is an ample number of play ers and substitutes. After the nine first string players are on the field, another team plus seven players will be seated on the bench. The Children’s Home in Win ston-Salem and teams from Bur lington and High Point are the groups that must be faced in soft- ball. The team practices its skill on Monday and Wednesday. Since a building is being erected in the outfield of the playing field that has been used in the past, the girls have moved to the back of the boys’ gym. A team with four pitchers sh'oiald be able to retire the op ponent team to the field with ease. Joy Brown, Petitesa Klenos, Martha Yates, and Billie Jessup hav6 indicated that pitching is their choice piosition. First base is going to be covered by Ann Bolding, Lynn Rankin, Elaine Kithas, Dawn Jacobs, and Brenda Ammons. The position that Carol Hin shaw. Carol Wyrick, Kathleen Satterfield, and Brenda Marshall wish to challenge is second base. Lillian Lovings seems to have third base all to herself. She was the only one to put that as her first choice. Prissy Wyrick and Cynthia Burley will have to battle it out for short stop. Bobbie Tice, Vickie Stewart. Janice Black, Dot Stone, and Pat Garrett all want to play behind the catcher’s mask. Sue Kimel will be available where she is needed, as she didn’t specify a particular position. The outfield will be covered by Shelba Creed. Ada Lou Johnson, and Helen Euliss.
