April 27, 1956 High Life Page Sevtm Forbes and Nurnberger Win Highest Art Honors In Statewide Competition Is there a Rembrandt in the house? Perhaps there is not one to be found at this moment, but if Chic Forbes and Robbie Nurn- l)erger continue to win art con tests, they may both be famous artists some day. Monday, April 16, Chic, a senior, and Robbie, a junior who moved here from Wilmington,, were informed by the local news paper office that they were win ners of the annual art contest sponsored by the North Carolina Federation of Women’s Clubs. Chic won a cash prize of $25, while Robbie was awarded a cup given by the organization. This group had an exhibit last week in Dur ham of state art and allied art work. Judges for the contest were art instructors from Greensboro College and Woman’s College. Chic’s entry was a barroom scene done in water colors. This the first contest that he has ever won, but lack of experience didn’t postpone his decision on how to spend the money. “I’m going to spend it on a trip to Crescent Beach!’’ ex claims the proud first-place win ner. Although Chic was elected Most Talented in Art at Aycock and is now art editor of WHIRUGIG, he plans to attend Wake Forest and take courses in finance and busi ness administration. He may 'taket up commercial art as a sideline. The sotu*ce of inspiration for his picture is unknown to Chic. “I just wanted to draw.” Four days later he turned in his prize-win ning drawing to Carl D. Coker, art instructor at Senior High, Robbie’s entry was a street scene which he did in oils. Honorable mentions in the school went to Alleyne Garton, a junior, and Herbert Dumaresq, a sophomore. Alleyne’s picture was an abstract tempera painting, while Herbert’s was an abstract watercolor. Chic Forbes, recent winner of an art contest sponsored by a local civic club, is pictured above with his instructor, Mr. Carl Coker. Chic received a $35 prize for his entry* a water color drawing of a barroom scene. Juniors^ Sophomores Select Youth Conucii Yesterday, April 26, the students of Senior High elected eight ris ing seniors and nine rising juniors for membership in the Youth Rec reation Coimcil. ’The Recreation Council, whose purpose is to have open houses after home games, to plan better recreation for Greensboro youths, to sponsor afternoon recreation, and to try to get better recreation facilities, has been one of Senior’s student organizations for several years, and next year, for the first time, the chairman, Libby Garvin, will be a member of the Student Council. The new members, who will be advised by the Greensboro Recre ation Department, Mrs. W. B. Farr, president of the PTSA, and by a teacher sponsor will plan and execute the open houses. Plans have been started for open houses to be held next fall. Citizenship and the desire to serve were the only qualifications needed to run for j-he office. The applications were turned in April 23. golfing in a fine fashion Miss Ginger Bass invites you to join her in an exciting game of golf. She may not he the “best” when it comes to putting off the nineteenth green, but she is certainly “tops” where fashions are concerned. For her golfing hours, she has chosen a Glen- lore sporting outfit. This outfit is not only cool, attractive, and versatile, but it is also made of crease resistant cotton. This means that it is washable and needs no ironing. Too, it is extraordinarily sun fast... an important factor when selecting summer cottons. Coming in sizes 10-16 and in pink, blue, and brown, this outfit can be seen in the sports wear department at ELLIS STONE. The skirt is priced at $6.95 and the blouse, $3.95. Drop by ELLIS STONE, select a Glenlore sporting outfit, and be fashionably if not skillfully prepared for that next golfing date. Junior Fashions Fashion Floor ^ Junior Classical League Has Roman Dress Show Members of the Liatin Club pre sented a Roman fashion show 'Thui'sday, April 12, featuring sev eral club members dressed as sig nificant figures in Roman life. The program, which was nar rated by Gordayne Egbert, vice- president of the club, served as an educational as well as entertain ing method of acquainting Latin students more fully with well- known people of the Roman Em pire. During the presentation, background music was furnished by Gilbert Frank, and a spotlight was used to accent the characteri zations. First to appear on the program was Margie Rose dressed as a vestal virgin and clad in pure white. As she modeled the robes of the vestals, a brief explanation was given telling of the status of the virgins in Roman life, their vows, punishments, and impor tance in Roman festivals. Next came Calpurnia and Julius Caesar. Calpurnia, depicted by Caroline Sikes, was dressed in a long white stola over which was draped a pale blue palla or shawl like garment worn by Roman ma trons. James King as Caesar wore the richly bordered robes which signified Caesar’s importance as statesman, conqueror, and author. A wreath of laurel leaves bedecked his head denoting the honor of his office. At this point a short sum mation was given of the emperor’s most outstanding achievements. 'The next couple to appear was Brutus and his noble wife. Portia, portrayed by Jerry Danford and Liz Sutton. Jerry was dressed in a semi-military uniform made of blue cloth and white leather, while Liz wore the typical dress of a Roman wife—a stola and palla. Following was a pair of sena tors. Jack Jessup and Elwood Hartman, each of whom wore a white toga bordered with a crim son band, which denoted his sena torial rank of office. David Craig, club president, after an explana tion of dress for Roman men, re moved the tc^a from a senator thus displaying the tunic. He then re-draped the senator, with the toga describing the method by which the single piece of material was worn with a clasp or pins. The tvTies of togas were discussed including the “toga pretexta” worn by priests and young men of the .aristocracy; the “toga virilis,” used by young men, and the “toga Can dida.” or robe worn by office as pirants (hence the English word candidate), Charles Sikes, brother of Caro line, and honorary member of JCL, represented a Roman schoolboy, who was dressed in white and was being led to school by his slaves a poedagogus (hence pedagogue), portrayed by Joe Hensley. Last to appear was Caesar’s most trusted lieutenant Titus Labienus. Graham Talbott, attired in formal military costume. Carolina To Present 'Man In Grey Planner BY BE-TTY ROSE Report cards is acomin’ Those P’s are in sight, Reports cards is acomin’ I’m shakin’ with fright. I won’t hurry, hurry, hurry, home, i won’t hurry, hurry, hurry, home. Cause report cards is acomin’ And that I can’t fight. Yep, it’s impossible, but true. It’s that time again. And that means collecting the allowance before it is noticed and making dates two weeks in advance, so that when your parents threaten to make you stay home and study you can truthfully say you’ve al ready got a date and wouldn’t dream of breaking it. But whether you do or not, it’s a cinch that “The Man in The Grey Flannel Suit” showing at the CAROLINA THEATRE all next week will make the grade with flying colors. Gregory Peck, Jennifer Jones and Fredric March head the brilliant all-star lineup in Darryl F. Zanuck’s Cinema- Scope screen version of Sloan. Wilson’s best-seller. The man in the gray flannel suit, who changed to civics from the drab olive uniform of World War 2, is a fairly universal figure In America today, and the mo tional impact of his struggle with his conscience, his exploits in war, and his efforts to rise in the busi ness world, is even today sUll being felt by those near to him.
