YOUR
MIND VL
End Self-Conscious Due to ,
Baldness or Gray Hair
By WILLIAM THORPE'
During the years of my
practical studies and dealing
with servicing the outer por
tion of the human head and
face, the three major things
that concerns me mostly are
baldness, gray hairs, and the
art of hair coloring.
You probably would be sur
prised to know the number of
people that ask me regularly,
what causes baldness, gray hair,
and what can be done about
it. Most of them seem to be
worried and feel self-conscious
about their appearance of
those conditions.
My answer most of the time
is: Relax and stoy worrying,
and face the facts concerning
them, because modern science
has developed a solution for
all those conditions, whether
it's premature, or results due
to ill health or old age.
We can see some of the
healthest people bald-headed,
or gray haired compared to
folks with a full head of hair
without gray. In fact, by being
bald or gray, doesn't have any
effect on our physical health.
It just only affects people men
tally.
A majority of men that are
bald wears a hat most of the
time to keep from being self
conscious while out in public.
Also by doing this, it makes
them look younger.
Since wigs are the go now
and very popular, women do
not complain much lately
about hair-loss or graying.
Some have different colors and
styles to help keep them attrac
tive and emotionally balanced
concerning their hair.
A message to the men
would be more appropriate at
this time, because males might
not be as familiar with things
of this sort personally, such as
weiring hair pieces, or having
their hair colored.
Baldness very seldom is a
sigh of poor health. In some
cases it is hereditary, male
patent, or can also be caused
by certain medicines, illness
with high fever, and among
women who are faced with the
problem more than ever before
What's Happening At CHHS
By CHARLENE B. REGESTER
Students who actually play
the part of teachers are a rarity
Jn most schools. But at Chapel
Hill High, a young black senior,
baryl Mason, is conducting a
photography class. Daryl is an
official teacher with an enroll
ment of about twelve students.
I
He v«s prompted to continue
in photography on his first trip
into the "dark room" (another
name for the room where pic
tires are developed). Where,
helped by a friend, he learned
how to print on the first day.
From this, photography inter
ested him and he is now a
teacher.
Daryl comments on how he
started the course, "I first
mentioned to Mr. Strickland
that I would like to start a
class in photography, but I
soon learned that an advisor
would be needed, Mr. Baylin
agreed to be my advisor. A
written requisition was sent to
the superintendent as to the
budget necessary for the class.
Quite a few students were in
terested in taking the course
but many of them couldn't
due to the reregistering
second semester. You receive
one-half credit for taking the
photography course."
Explaining the purpose of
hsi advisor and his privileges he
says "I go to my advisor for
help when reporting time
comes, and when I have special
problems. I'm allowed only a
few privileges, such as going in
to the teacher's lounge and us
ing the machines for class
papers."
A numerous amount of
questions were posed to Daryl
when he said confidently "It's
not hard to communicate with
by pregnancy
The only cases during my
practices in this field in which
hair has retained growth from
baldness are; nerve spots, or
people who have suffered from
a certain type of high fever in
the past, due to a disease.
My advice to all men are to
stop spending a lot of unneces
sary money on different medi
cations people claim can grow
hair on a slick head. If you are
bald and your hair roots are
dead, you can forget about re
growing new hair, and it
wouldn't be a good idea to try
some specialist to transplant
hair from some other part of
your body to your head.
Therefore, the two solutions
to baldness and gray hairs are:
first, to make up in your mind
whether you want to live and
adjust yourself to them and re
main that way the rest of your
life, and say to yourself: "This
is the way my creator intended
me to be; and I'm not going
to worry about it anymore,
and as long as it doesn't have
an effect on my health I'm
satisfied."
Second: To do something
about it as soon as possible by
consulting a professional barb
er or hair specialist and let him
help you. By taking this step
you can have a full head of
hair (toupee) and your natural
color of your hair back.
It's so easy to get this par
ticular job done, and start en
joying your new youth look
which can do away with your
self-consciousness if you are in
that stage.
Finally, don't try the do-it
yourself method, because it
requires a skilled person in this
particular field to give you a
satisfactory job. Lastly, to cau
tion you; hair coloring is
dangerous and should be mixed
and used by a "pro." By being
"poison," it can get in your
eyes, and opening in the skin,
or you could be alergic to some
types of coloring, which also
requires a skin test. For more

students with whom I associate
because they listen to me.
They respect me and are eager
to learn, no tlike many stu
dents who would try to take
advantage of a teacher."
He later stated how he pre
sented his course. "We get a
general understanding of
photography, such as what it
is and how it's done. The
basic things are introduced to
the class and they learned parts
of the camera, how to use the
camera, processing of film and
how to print pictures.
We will take more pictures
and do more prints so that
they will become very familiar
with this and develop techni
ques of their own for good
photography. Later on I will
lead the class into a detailed
study of double exposures,
triple exposures, and soliriza
tion (which makes the picture
look half positive and half
negative; it gives a science fic
tion look.)"
He explained that the class
was graded on a pass-fail sy
stem but individual grades were
given by him. "I enjoy teach
ing, and I'm learning a lot from
my students."
His friends feel that he
could be another Gordon Parks
(a famous black photographer
who produced the movie,(The
Learning Tree) Which he states,
"maybe I will."

Youth is a time of reach
ing for human touch-points, a
time of searching for the mean
ing of things. It is not always
a joyous time, for sometimes
one reaches and there is no
one to touch. SometiEnes one
searches and there is little
meaning to find.
There is no other period
when so much must happen in
so short a time. It is a time for
young people to become more
aware of themselves and the
people who share their life. It
is a time to discover the full
meaning of caring and sharing
-a time to learn how important
it is for friends to enrich each
others lives. But what they
touch and what they find de
pends upon the help they re
ceive from others. They simply
cannot bring it off alone.
Think what it would be like
not to have a single real
friend. It is almost impossible
to comprehend. Yet recent re
search shows that 40 per
cent of 18-to 22 year-olds
and 31 percent of 15 - to 17-
year-olds feel they do not have
a single friend that they can
rely upon. Without a friend,
a young person is in a state of
potential crisis.
Further, a growing child or
young person needs to live in
a home where love is ex
pressed openly with words and
actions that cannot be mistak
en for something else. In such
a home the meaning of love is
discovered in the act of giving
and receiving it. Every single
child and youth needs to know
that his parents love for him is

so deep it can surround any
problem, so strong that no cir
cumstance can destroy it. A
young person living in such a
home knows there is no surer
place to bring a problem. And
yet, we have heard hundreds of
youhg people express the fear
that their parents' love might
not withstand the discovery
that they were abusing drugs.
Still another need of chil
dren and young people is to
be a part of something bigger
than themselves. It gives them
a track to ride upon, a sense
of worth, something to share
with others, the feeling of
being involved. For many, re
ligion is like that. For many,
Scouting, Exploring and such
affiliations are like that. But
for thousands of others there is
nothing like that in their lives.
They feel cut off, alone, iso
lated.
Young people who are not
involved in drug abuse have
told us they have not needed it
because they have real highs;
friends they can rely upon,
warm relations with their
parents, being a part of some
thing they consider important,
and the means of beginning to
know themselves. Almost with
out exception, the young peo
ple who are in the drug abuse
scene have told us they lack
these very things.
It is not very surprising that
young people who feel utterly
alone would reach into the
drug scene for the warmth
they are lacking. The artificial
highs look enticing when the
real ones are missing.
The nation's outstanding
authorities ha ve told us that if
we wish to contribute to the
ultimate solution of the crucial
drug abuse problem we must
create the means whereby
young people can help each
other reach for the real things.
