The boys of the FFA are really getting down to work and a bright progressive year is ahead of them. We are wishing them the best of luck and we know under the guid ance of their advisor, Mr. Owens, they will have the best year ever. This organization has done a lot for SHS and it is impossible in this little space to name all the things they have done- We are grateful to have such an active group in our school. Last Tuesday the annual staff met in the typing lab with Mr. Campen, the representative of the Hunter Yearbook Publishing Co. We discussed with him the plans for our annual, the Whispering Pines. Things discussed were the cost of our annual, the setting and theme, and the pictures to be tak en and cover to choose. The meeting ended with Mary Ellen Chasteen, business manager, and Jackic Guthrie, editor-in-chief, signing the Hunter contract.

We have now 210 subscriptions. The photographer was in the school Monday for the purpose of taking individual photographs. We would like to thank each and every student for their cooperation in the process of taking these pic tures. Now, let's meet those two im portant people of the week? Mr. and Miss Senior Bigwheel. Mr. Senior Bigwheel Meet the wackiest, good-natured male from the senior class. Leslie, come forth! Leslie Maurice Davis was born to Mr. and Mrs. Stacy Davis of Harkers Island, on April 1, 1939. Although Leslie is his name, this boy is known by no other name but "Sonny Boy." Sonny defines his pet peeve as pretty girls.' Can you imagine? His one heart's desire is to own one million dollars worth of stock in the Esso Oil Co. His favorite food is no less than a peach, and his favorite singing star is Bill Haley. Sonny is just one of those rock and roll fans. What is your one plan for the future. Sonny? The Service is his answer. His favorite song is Brazil, his favorite hobby is hunting, and his favorite movie star Burt Lan caster. His other favorites include: Mr. Daniels, his favorite teacher, riding his favorite pastime and basketball, his favorite sport. Sonny stands a full 6 feet 2 in height, has brown hair, blue eyes, and a dark complexion. He came to SHS from Harkers Island school in 1953 and since then has taken part in the following activi ties: school bus driver ? two years; newspaper staff? one year (art editor); basketball ? three yeari; varsity club ? two yean; FFA ? three yean (officer-sentinel and vice-president); class officer? one year. He also won his high school letter for his skill in athletics. Sonny is a very likeable person, full of humor, and mischief. There is one thing about him that every one likes and that is his smile. Miss Senior Blgwheel Now, meet the greatest Elvis Presley and James Dean fan ever to be a member of SHS- Mary Elizabeth Davis, alias Betty Davis. Betty was born Jan. 6, 1939, to Mr. and Mrs. Earl C. Davis of Marshallberg. She came to SHS just eight years ago from Mar shallberg Primary School. Betty says that her one heart's desire is to spend Saturday nights on Wichards Beach. Her favorite food is nothing less than fried chicken! Her favorite singing star? You might have guessed it? Elvis Presley! Just watch her swoon when he sings her favorite song Love Me Tender. Betty has been a member of the following activities during her years at SHS: basketball -three years; 4-H ? four years; FHA ? three years; Varsity Club ? one year. She has been very active in her church, the Marshallberg Trin ity Methodist Church. In her MYF she has been an officer for nine years and a member for that long. She is Secretary of her Young Adults Class and is also a substi tute teacher. Betty's plans for the future are to make someone a good house wife. Betty, who is about 5 feet 5 in height, having blonde hair and blue eyes, says that her favorite hobby is collecting all eligible males. Look out boys, she means what she says! Betty has two other nicknames besides Betty. They are Mary Liz and Sweets. Her favorite actor is the one and only? sigh! sigh! ? James Dean and to prove he is her favorite, Betty has a wide col lection of pictures and stories about The Rebel Without A Cause. Besides collecting items about James Dean, Betty's favorite pas time is bopping. That girl is just naturally crazy about jazz and rock 'n roll. By the way, Betty says that her favorite teacher is Mr. Daniels. Betty is another one of those easy to get along with characters which the senior class boasts many of. She has a wonderful personality and may be defined as a person with mischief and sweetness look in her eyes. We all love her and we're sure you would to if you ever met her. Next week we will introduce to you Carol Fulcher and Cecil GU likin, so keep your fingen crossed until we return. That's all the news there is from SHS for this week. We'll be back next week with plenty more, so be with us. Remember to study hard and learn all you can. You never stop learning and the more you can learn the better citizen you will make. See ya? Speedo. House Plan (Continued from Page 3. Section X) However, this U ? flexible plan. You can build ? basement if you prefer. The oversize garage pro vide* ample apace for a basement stairway and Krvice vestibule be tween the garage and the family room. A distinctive feature of the ex terior styling of this house is the opea rafters above the terrace aad the two sliding glass doors of the bedrooms. A variety of treatment is suggested by this detail. You could leave these rafters open for shadow effect. You could cover them with corrugated fiber glass ?beets in a pastel color. You could grow vines over the terrace. Or you could roof it over conventionally for a covered porch. Herman H. York, architect who specializes in suburban and coun try homes, designed HW-23 with a weather eye on the building dol lar throughout. Room dimensions indicate the extent to which this house is planned for the use of standard lengths of lumber with out the expense of cutting on the job. Room widths of 13 feet 4 inches show the use of standard 14-foot joists with 4 inches allowed at each end for bearing and wall construc tion Widths of 15 feet 4 inches show the use of 16-foot joists lumber being available in multi ples of 2 feet. This not only saves money but results in good room sizes. The architect carries this pru dence into the exterior design, too. He has pitched the roof just enough to permit the use of eco nomical asphalt shingles. He sug gests the use of brick veneer for an accent to the front end of the garage. This could be eliminated for economy although it provides a pleasant touch with its extension of a pierced brick wall partly screening the garage doors. Either shingles or hand split shakes could be used to side the main front wall, depending on the building | budget, and the rest of the house can be finished with plain clap board siding. Numerous niceties of planning characterize this house. Closets ire large ? many of them planned with sliding doors. A private dressing room with a built-in vanity table links the master bedroom with its private bathroom. Sliding doors also open from the foyer into the powder room section of the split bathroom as well as between the two compartments of this bath room. A breakfast bar between the kitchen and family room is a smart provision for children's snaclu as well as for informal entertainment when the family room is used for evening recreation. The kitchen is well arranged for cabinets and appliances, with space alloted for a modern raised oven separate from countertop burners. The barbecue is convenient for serving either in the dining room or family room. Between the bar becue and refrigerator are a broom closet and a pantry closet. By locating the foyer as a cen ter hall, every room in the house becomes acccssible from the front door without passage through ano ther room- the dining room, of course, is accepted as an exception to this rule because of its periods of disuse. The most glamorous feature of this house is the way its walls of glass open to let you enjoy the century 6 YEARS OLD STRAIGHT BOURBON WHISKEY '2'.! SO 85 ^ 4/5 ' ?ATOflM.

This per-vehicle tax cost is brok en down into an average 9M.T3 a year paid in state and federal taxes on gasoline; $20.86 in state motor license and carrier fees; $633 in sales taxes on automotive products, and 124.26 in federal automotive taxes. Featured in the booklet is a six point progrsm of objectives urged in behalf of highway users by thia statewide committee of oil men, headed by J. V. Delander, chair man. "As an organization," Mr. De lander said, "we foster and support public policies which are fair to our customers, our industry and the state at large." The six goals he listed for the present year are: Keep Gas Tax Reasonable, Protect Highway Funds, Insure Fair Compettiion, Reduce Inspection Fees, Repeal Gasoline Pump Tax, and Promote Highway Safety. One section of the booklet traces the history of gasoline taxation in North Carolina from the original I-cent state tax, first levied in 1921, to the present combined state and federal tax rate of 10V? cents a gallon, and concludes: * In North Carolina the average retail price of regular gasoline, excluding taxes, is now about 19.9 cents a gallon ? 11.4 cents less than the 31.3-cent average price here in 1920. But while the price of the product itself? unlike other commodities ? is actually lower than it was 36 years ago, present taxes on gasoline now add more than 50 per cent to the cost." best of the outdoors from family room, dining room, living room and the two major bedrooms? or close weathertight to give you spectacular views of any storm from the snug and coiy security of your own home.
