The Spectator Volume No. VI J. F. WEBB HIGH SCHOOL, OXFORD, N. C., FEBRUARY 27, 1970 No.- 4 Drama Club Sees Growth In Future You may recall that announce ments concerning the nev/ Drama Club have appeared in recent issues of this paper. Yet there are many people who are unaware of what this club actually is. The Drama Club consists of peo ple who are interested in various .forms of literature, and, of course, dramatics. At present they are read ing and discussing poetry, concen trating on expression, and meaning. Incidentally, at the first mention of poetry, many of our members were disappointed, but as the meeting progressed, the members reafeed the force and beauty of a poem read a- loud. The Drama Club also provides inspiration for those who enjoy writing. We have used in our -meet ings poetry, plays, and other works written by members of the club it self. Members are looking forvii'ard to future years when it be feasible to attempt productions of a more . serious nature. The dub will continue to be open for -membership. Anyone interested in writing, acting, and in being in volved in a group of people who like each other is v/elcome to come. FHA'ers Travel To Vance Coynif High On January 14, the Future Farm- ■■ ers of America held their regular raouthly naieting sir the J. F. Webb Cafetorium.

Inframura! 6«es Well Under Waf Girls’ intramural basketball does not have much news for the simple reason that very few games have been played. The February 6 games were cancelled because of kck of interest. The Juniors have not played a game this year, therefore, forfeitng all their games. If inter est does not pick up, our intramural program will have to be discontinu ed. In the boys’ play the Juniors are undefeated. “Wolf” is the Juniors leading scorer averaging around 30 points. “Pearl” Dixon and Mike Peters also supply many of the needed points for the winning Jun iors. Doug Nelms and Wayne Lester have led the Seniors into second place in the rankings. The Sopho mores are in third place with Steve Colenda and Bob Slaughter leading their attack. The Freshmen round out the rankings in fourth place. W * IVY LAWRENCE Ivy Honored Ifudent Condi The Student of the Month ‘ for January is none other than exuber ant Ivy La-wrence.

Scott »■ •i- t * * ‘•‘VHI'' “ • Wanda Dickerson, si&Hg with several other club presidertts from Webb, was in Raleigh to witness the signing of the Youth Proclamation by Governor Scott. January IS, 1970, Wanda Dicker- son, State President of the North Carolina Association of Future Homemakers of America, visited Governor Scott in Raleigh. She was invited to his office to witness the signing of the Youth Proclamation which set aside the week of Febru ary 8-14 as Occupational Education Week. The Occupational Educa tion Week is very important for the growth of training programs in our schools. This visit was very exciting for Wanda. She was asked how she liked the Governor. She said, “He was full of humor; he told me to try the hottest chair in North Car olina, except for those at State Pris on; I did!!” Along with Wanda the presidents of DECA, VICA, and FFA were present to witness such an excit- ing event . . . exciting enough to be shown on the news that night. GLENDA CURRIN Assumes President Vacancy The big news in Student Council recently has been the installation of its new president, Glenda Currin. After the resignation of Frank Hie- lema on November 29, 1969, the vice-president acted as standing president until an election could be well-organized. In January the nominations committee of the Stu dent Council met and selected Glen da Currin as its nomination for president. In the following week BO students filed a petHicn to run for the office; therefore, Glenda won the office by acclamation. Glenda reportedly has plans to make our student council a really effective organization. Already she has solved the attendance problem in the Student Council; but to make it an effective organization, she needs your help. You are your school’s students, and you decide what hap pens at your school. Glenda will be a great leader if and only if we are great followers. Think about it; it’s a pretty good deal.
