Wednesday morning the Elm' Street student body had the pleasure of hearing a splendid talk by Rev. Chas. P. Coble, of the Presbyterian church. After reading the second chapter of Luke, Mr. Coble took as his subject, “The Greatest Boy That Ever Lived.” He said: “We revere the name of Jesus, but we sometimes forget he was human. He was the most natural boy and man in the v/orld.^ Jesus became the most influ ential, the biggest, the richest man ehe world ever knew. How did he do this?' He increased in wisdom statue. Our boys and girls are not going to step accidentally into great ness—they will have to grow on all sides, not strong physically with small minds, or little shriveled souls. To be well rounded, one must attain physical, mental and moral growth, all three, and the greatest ambition we should have, ‘the desire to be like Jesus.’ ” IT REALLY WAS RAINING High Point Hi"h School has again been honored when an alumnus or / this institution was elected to the presidency of the Men’s Student Council of Guilford College, the high est position anvone can attain at that college.

He holds a posi tion as private socretary to the pres ident of the college. Don J. Ward Packer and Monsieur George Ridge seem to be rushing i the season. Friday afternoon soon I'after school was out, a number of ' students were standing on the porch ' of the Institution waiting for Lady : Luck to turn off the rain which was I coming down in sheets, when sud- ' denly an uproar broke forth from j the threats of the students. The object of their laugh was in the form of Senior Packer and Monsieur Ridge walking along the street under the shelter of two newly bought straw hats. Neither Squire Packer nor Hon orable Ridge seem to be a bit ruf fled by the down pour of the rain. They later became aware of the fact it was raining and sought shelter under the roofs of the high school building. hlr.
