Jimmie Wheatley Heads Student
Government; Annuals Distributed
Closing time is news time. At
least that's the case with us at
Beaufort School. The annuals have
arrived. We have elected new stu
dent government officers. Mar
shals for graduation have been se
lected and representatives for Girls'
and Boy's State have been chosen.
And now for the details ?
On Thursday. May 6. from a very
fine selection of candidates the stu
dent body elected the following
officers: Jimmie Wheatley, presi
dent; Jimmie Davis, vice-president;
Nina Faye Kirk, treasurer; and
Rae Frances Hassell. secretarry.
Candidates opposing Jimmie for
the office of student government
president were Gchrmann Holland,
Henry Safrit and Sammie Magill.
Candidates for vice-president Were
Peggy Williams, Jimmy Totter, and
Jimmie Davis.
Candidates for treasurer were
Faye Mason, Ada Mae Lewis. Syl
via llarrell, Joyce Chadwick and
Nina Faye Kirk. Candidates for
secretary were Rae Frances Has
sell, Catherine Potter, Winki Willis
and Jean Chadwick. Run offs were
held for the office of president be
tween Jimmie Wheatley and Sam
mie Magill, for treasurer, between
Faye Mason and Nina Kirk, and for
office of secretary, between Rae
Frances Hassell and Catherine Pot
ter.
Much to the delight of every stu
dent, on Wednesday the seniors
distributed the annuals. With even
keener pleasure the entire student
body approved the choice of Mrs.
Mildred Lawrence upon whom the
honor of dedication was bestowed.
With tireless energy and great pa
tiencc, Mrs. Lawrence has worked
with her students and the dedica
tion was a very fitting "thank you."
In keeping with the arrival of the
annuals, the last few days have
been flooded with ink. and fountain
pens, and a deluge of autographs.
It's a wonder that there hasn't
been a plague of brain fever among
those students who have experi
enced such vast amounts of energy
exchanging written pleasantries.
To Janice Murphy goes the hon
or of being this year's chief mar
shal. Other Juniors who will serve
as marshals are Virginia Hasaell
and Geneva Hardesty. Sophomore
marshals will be Sylvia Harrell.
Nina Fayc Kirk and Jaan Pittman.
Freshinan marshals will be Kae
Fiances Hansell and Winki Willis
Congratulations to all these stu
dents whose fine work has justly
earned them this honor.
The names of those students who
have been selected to represent our
school at the State Conferences will
be listed in the issue of Chalk Dust
following their notification.
The Juniors presented Mrs. Ann
Salter with a matching earring and
necklace set as a small token of
their appreciation for all her as
sistance with the banquet last
Tuesday.
A special break? last Tuesday
the students were fascinated by
the work of an entertainer who did
what he called "Portraits in Make
up." This performer selected from
the audience six students: Jimmic
Willis, Herbert Mason. Freddie
Merrill, Jimmie Owens, and Billy
Hudgins, With a slap of rouge, a
swish of powder, mustaches,, wigs
and a magic touch, he transformed
the familiar faces of these students
into those of story book charac
ter*. The 10 cents admission to this
show was money well spent for
few such traveling performers have
been so entertaining and education
al.
The sophomores are treating the
seniors today with a weiner roast at
the State park. All details will
have to wait for next week's Chalk
Dust. Til then ....
