Juniors To Find Millions
Available In Scholarships
This year’s juniors will soon
get on the mark to go and test
their abilities in the National
Merit Scholarship Test, and beck
oning down the stretch are over
200 million in scholarships.
Behind them is the confidence
of being from the high school
which continually has pulled in
the greatest number of semi-fin
alists in Guilford County.
However, as the juniors will
find out when they take the test
at 8:30 Saturday, such a tradition
will help them not at all; the test
probes the students’ knowledge
of several fields.
The areas tested are English
usage. Math usage. Social Studies
reading, natural science reading,
and word usage.
Primary purpose of the test is
to select candidates for scholar
ships. As estimated by the Unit

million dollars available forschol-

Whirlie Girls Work
In Twirp Festivities
Twirp Day for 1966 turned out
to be a real twirper as the women
were really required to pay!
Work for the female Whirlies
began bright and early as they
took over the job of directing
traffic. Certain traffic experts
said they did a better job then
the regular squad, as the girls
sported colorful armbands and
stop signs.
Each senior girl on the squad
was chosen by a boy member.
Twirp night was a nice change
for the girls after they had work
ed all day opening doors, holding
books, etc.
Music was provided by Greens
boro’s “Shifters” for the Twirp
Dance in the girls’ gym from
8 to 11 p.m.
As each couple came into the
gym, they handed to an impartial
judge a list of all their activities
for the day as planned by the girl.
A prize was awarded to the
girl having “treated” her fellow
to the most original array of
activities.
For school beautification, they
replanted their grove area and
took on the area around the
girls’ gym. They also wax desks
once a month.
In service to the city, the Jay
cettes collected for Cerebral Pal
sy, Muscular Dystrophy, White
Cane, March of Dimes and Tu-
bercolosis for which they won
first prize for collecting the most.
At Christmas, they provided
for two needy families; each
member also dressed a doll for
the Empty Stocking Fund.
For school spirit the Jaycettes
had confetti for the football
games, put balloons on the flag
pole and chartered a bus to
Durham. They were second run
ner up in the Homecoming dis
plays. They passed out mega
phones and shakers at the Page
game and put up banners in the
halls.
