How J^ot To Open A BanJ{ Account
There are indeed many students
t GHS, and countless other
chools, who find that from birth
hey have had a special knack for
loing things wrong. The majority
if these people spend their lives
Tying to cover up this slightly
jmbarrassing habit, while a cer-
ain few make cultivating it their
ife’s work.
For these of the latter group
vho wish to open a bank account
;here follow a few simple sug
gestions.
I. Whether honestly or dishon-
;stly or otherwise (?) the student
nust have in his possession a cer-
For Those Who Think Young
tain amount of currency. It would
be preferable for this amount to
exceed the sum of $.10.
II. Upon entering the bank, he
should immediately go to the “next
Window Please”. After having
completed this journey, he is faced
with the puzzling question, “May
I help you, please?” At this the
student replies, “uh, I think I, uh,
wanna open a bank account.”
“What kind of bank account,
sir?”
After much deliberation, he
finds himself asking in return,
“uhm, is there more than one
kind?”
At this the clerk answers pa
tiently, as if to a retarded idiot,
“yes sir, we have checking and
saving. If you plan to save your
money, you can put it in a savings
account and it will draw interest.
If you would like to spend this
money in the form of checks, we
will open a checking account.”
“O.K., I will take one.”
“One what, sir?”
“Bank account.”
III. After having decided upon
a checking account, the new ac-
countee is presented vnth a set
of signature cards to fill out. He
then very promptly returns them
along with the statement “uh, you
fill them for me, you can write
better than I can.”
IV. At this time the teller hands
him a book of checks and he finds
him asking,” what do I put in
this space where it says ‘no.’?”
Practically at this point of tears
or possibly hysteria, the teller
explains that in that space is kept
a record of the number of checks
one has written. “Most people
start at the number one and work
up; but it really doesnt’ matter,”
she says with a smile as the stu
dent prepares to leave.
It is then that he exits feeling
very proud of himself for having
come through such an ordeal with
complete calmness and aplomb.
The poor teller, on the other
hand is at the moment recuperat
ing from what she would consider
a nerve-shattering experience. It
takes her a few days to calm down;
but before she can thoroughly get
over this ordeal, his first check
arrives. It is passable except for
one minor detail—it is numbered
63.
Brg Richardson, a sopho
more at GHS, was recently
chosen Miss Datesetted for
the Greensboro area. She is to
compete in the national con
test as representative of this
area.

GHS Boasts Beauty
Bry Richardson Wins
Miss Teen Datesetter
Chosen From Grimsiey
Grimsley Senior High School
has been boasting a beauty in a
national contest for the past two
weeks. Bry Richardson was select
ed the winner in the Miss Date-
setter contest for this area. To
win the area competition, held at
Meyer’s Department Store, Bry
had to compete with 11 other girls
from GHS, Bessemer, Guilford
and Page. Each school entered
three of its cheerleaders chosen
by the head cheerleader. Other
than Bry, GHS’s entrants were
Carole Harrod, a senior, and Anne
Bradshaw, a junior.
In the contest the girls each
modeled two cocktail dresses made
of Celanese contemporary fibers.
Three votes were taken with each
girl being voted on in two of the
three.
As winner of the Greensboro
competition Bry was given her
choice of the two dresses -she
modeled; but the one she chose
was already sold and the others
did not fit her. In this predica
ment Bry was given a suit she
chose instead.
The first runner-up, Janie Mor
rison from Page, did receive her
choice of the dresses she modeled.
As winner in this area, Bry will
be entered in the national contest
in New York City, She will not go
to New York but she is to write
an essay on “Planning a Wardrobe
with Celanese Contemporary Fi
bers,” and a brief autobiography
complete with pictures.
First prize in the national con
test is a three-day trip to New
York City, five hundred dollars
and her picture in the March issue
of Seventeen magazine. The win
ner will be notified by mail on
December 17, 1962.
If Bry wins the national con
test she will be the first Southern
belle to do so.

Good lighting leads
to better grades
When it’s easier for young
folks to see, it’s easier for them
to learn. For proper study
lighting use at least a 150-watt
bulb. Keep work surfaces free
of shadows or glare.
