Mrs. Jackson doesn ' t always smile all day long—but most people don ' t know it. Teaching shorthand, bookkeeping, and typing all day long is surely enough to cleanse the cheerful smile from her face. During her sixth period typing class, the smile begins to falter, though Mrs. Jackson still retains her cheerful personality. Timed writings, timed writings, timed writings—and, endless projects, conditioning practices, maybe a little bit of goofing, and more timed writings—this is the world of Typing II. Commercial To you it might be shorthand, but it ' s Greek to me Donna remarks. However Mrs. Jackson confirms that it really is shorthand and that the class really does have a test tomorrow.

Music Mrs. Lovelace faithfully leads the Mixed Chorus in the preparation for their Christ¬ mas Cantata presented at South Edgecombe and their caroling at Tarrytown Mall in Rocky Mount. Other activities of the Mixed Chorus will be to sing at a P.T.A. meeting, at Graduation and Baccalaureate ceremonies. No Mixed Chorus practice would be complete with¬ out Thank You John presented by none other than John Walston. Brightly smile and sweetly sing. This year the vocal texture of the chorus has been altered by the introduction of baritone voices. The varia¬ tion of tone qualities has added to the general better¬ ment of melody.

Testing is tough in Mrs. Felton ' s social studies classes--55 minutes of exhausting, no-pause writing. But, her essay tests measure the individual gains of each student. Mrs. Felton always gives ample thought to questions presented to her by her classes and then answers with courage and enthusiasm. Finally it ' s sixth period--it ' s been a long day. 3:15 is so near; the room is warm somehow Mrs. Felton ' s vigorous personality and the heated discussion don ' t affect Max--but he did have a basket¬ ball game last night.
