BRITTON STARS FOR G. H. S.
Greensboro High School Basket
ball team played the third game of
the season with the Charlotte High
School, Friday, Jan. 6, at Charlotte,
the score being 34 to 20 in favor of
Charlotte. The game was played in
an auditorium which is regularly
used for dances. A large number of
people were on hand to see the contest
which proved to be listless through
out, although the second half showed
a pronounced livening up.
Britton and Sebum starred for
Greensboro each making several nice
shots. Williams showed the best
guarding work. Harvell and Brown
played stellar ball for Charlotte,
shooting between themselves the ma
jority of the goals.
The first half started off with Char
lotte rushing all the time. Greens
boro could not get started and were
completely out-played. The game
was very rough, each team making a
number of fouls. Britton made all
the points for Greensboro in this
half. Charlotte went on a spree,
chalking up 24 points. The score
■stood 21 to 6 at the end of the first
half.
The second half started with both

POOTBALL BOYS’ GET TOGETH
ER TALKS FROM C. F. WRIGHT
AND LUNSFORD RICHARDSON
The chapel period last Wednesday
was marked by one of the most in
teresting events during the school
3’ear. The football boys were pre
sented with the football monograms
■or stars for their part in the team's
activity during the past term.
The exercises opened with short
talk delivered by Mr. Archer, tl'.c
school superintendent, on his appre
ciation and the faculties’ appreciation;
of the team and its work this yej»r.
Mr. Archer was introduced by Neal
Jones the President of the General
Atheletic Association.
Mr. C. G. Wright a prominet
lawyer and business man of Greens
boro was the next speaker. He stat
ed that he as well as all true busi
ness and professional men of Greens
boro were behind the football team
in anything that it might do and that
they were behind the school and its
excellent work as a whole as well as
behind atheletics.
Mr. Wright was followed by Mr.
Lunsford Richardson, well known
business man and past athelete of
Greensboro. Mr. Richardson gave
the school a true perception of the
value of a “letter”. He said that an
athlete who could not maintain a '
high standard in his school work a.s
well as in his athletetics did not de
serve a “letter”.
The monograms and stars were :
presented by Miss Nellie Irvin after
a short talk by Coach Harry Raben-
horst on his appreciation of the
team and the true value of the “var
sity” squad. The exercises were clos
ed by a short talk from Captain
Taylor on the prospects of our next
year’s team.
The following received their well
merited rew'ards.
Captain Taylor 2 stars, Manager
Cooper, letter. Henderson, letter.
Barker, 2 stars. Forsyth, 1 star
Green, letter. Joe Transou, 2 stars.
Hinkle. 2 stars. Paul Transou. 1
star. Bell, letter. Fordham, letter.
Daniels, 2 stars. Jonjes, letter.
Sellers, letter.
The boy who makes a team the'
first year receives a letter and for i
each ensuing year he receives a star. I
following an ancient custom at
G. H. S., the Seniors had charge of
the Christmas program in the chapel
Wednesday, December 21. It was the
first time this year that the class of ’22
has conducted chapel exercises, and
they succeeded in proving htat three
is something new under the sun in
the way of programs;
As the pupils marched in. Mil
dred Little, the pianist, played Chris
tmas Chimes. The Seniors entered
last singing, “Hark! the Herald An
gels Sing.” On the stage was a tab
leau of the Bethlehem manger scene.
Those in it were; Carolyn
; Glascock and Mildred Morrison; Jos-
: eph, Jeff Fordham; Mary, Myrtle
Frilen LaBarr.
When the Seniors had taken their
places, Herbert Rawlins, president of
: the class read an appropriate Scrip-
1 ture passage. Slowly up the isle ,the
“Three Wise Men” entered with their
.gifts for the Christ. They were Paul
Causey, Edwin Pearce, and James
: Wilkins. As they knelt before the
[manger, Mr. Fielding Fry sang, “Si
lent Night,” while Nellie Irvin pan-
: tomimed it. The “Three Wise Men”
1 left going slowly down the opposite
! aisle from the one up which they en
tered. Ethel Stoskton read the “Story
of the Other Wise Man.”
One of the most interesting parts
of the program was the presentation
of the gifts from the individual class
es to the poor of the city. Each class
proved its generostiy and the result
was a goodly pile of food and toys
for the poor and needy. A represen
tative from each class stated the high
ideals and ambitions of his class
Jack Causey, a Freshman. s])oke first
William Neal, a Sophomore followed.
Nancy Little portrayed the Junior’s
highest aspirations in a well-written
poem. Last. Ruth Lnderwood spoke
in behalf of the Seniors,
i Raymond Lanier sang a Christ
mas solo. Mr. A. L. Brooks, a proin
^Inent lawyer of the city, made a mos'
'excellent address on “Christ in Ev
eryday Life.” As a fitting Christmas
conclusion to the program, Mr. Cox
j presented the High School with “The
' History of the University of N. C.,”
the gift of the alumni of the Lhiiver
sity of North Carolina, who are great
ly interested in the future of G. H. S.

JUNIOR GIRLS VICTORS IN
BASKETBALL CHAMPIONSHIP
BRITTON’S BASKETEERS ON
TWO-DAY TRIP EAST
GREENSBORO HIGH SCHOOL
ORGANIZES DEBATING CLUB
Gladys Holland Elected Chairman
at First Meeting.
Prior to the Christmas holidays,
the Debating Club met for its firs-
session. The purpose of the meeting
was to organize and elect Officers.
The following officers were elected;
Gladys Holland. Pres.; Hubert Raw
line. Sec.; Leonard Temko. Press
Reporter.
The Debating Club will meet ev
ery other Tuesday night at 7:30
in the Higji School library under the
supervision of Mr. Charles Phillips
and Miss Martha Blakenev. The
Club will studv some text book and
will have a definate studv argu
mentation and debateing. It is plan
ned fcj- the club to debate everv time
it meets.
Members of the varsity basketball
team, accompanied by Coach H. W.
Park and Manager Jeff Fordham,
left this afternoon for a two-game
trip to Durham and Raleigh. To
night the local quint will meet the
team from Trinity Park school on
the latter’s court. On Saturday
evening Capt. Britton’s men will play
the boys of the Capital City high
school in Raleigh.
Although the squad opened the
1922 session with defeat at the
hands of Charlotte and Lexington,
the material available this year
points to a fighting machine which
’s expected to make a good iiin in
the championship series. In the
opening game of the season on the
'ocal floor Wednesday evening the
locals sent the Twin City quint
down to defeat by the score of 30
to 21. This victory showed that
Britton’s men possess the driving
orce and form which can be de
veloped into a fast moving machine.
Ihrse who have watched the d.:vel-
apment of the squad believe that it
will only be a short time before
the rough edges have been removed,
and tl>e quint will put up a foimid
able fight against all comers. Coach
Park stated before leaving for the
trip today that he had confidence in
-he strength of his men.
In addition to Coach Park and
Manager Fordham, the following
mea made the trip to Durham and
Raleigh: Capt. Joe Britton, Sebum,
P. Transou, J. Wilkins, Henderson,
Taylor, Daniel and Williams.
The juniors have won the inter-
i class girls basket ball championship
after a hard fought series. The
\ seniors, on Dec. 12, beat the fresh-
i men in an uninteresting game, in
which the freshmen were out classed
I by their opponents. The following
; Tuesday the juniors and sophomores
] met. These teams were more evenly
1 matched, but the final score, 21-16
I was in favor of the juniors. On
Wednesday the 14th the freshmen
were again overwhelmingly defeated
by the juniors, 88-14. Friday after
noon. Dec. 15th, the freshmen were
eliminated from the series by the
juniors with a score of 22-10. That
n'ght was staged perhaps the most
interesting game of the series, when
the proud dignified seniors went
; down in defeat before the fast junior
team by a score of 23-19.' Then o'l
Friday the sophomores eliminated
I the seniors from the series. The
: final game was played at the Y.
j M. C. A., on the night of the 20th.
The teams were evenly matched and
' v.hen the final whistle blew the
; score was a tie. The .sophomores
I then won by a margin of one go.ri
, in the additional five minutes of
play. This gave them tlie privilege
of playing the faculty team, whom
I tliey beat by a very small score,
i The Sophomores’ title was however,
disputed by the Juniors, on the
ground that the rules as originally
ordered provided for a final game
between the two highest in the
preliminary contests. This prote»3t
resulted in a game in which the
Juniors were victorious by a score
making them champions of the
school.

.MANY IMPROVEMENTS MADE IN
HIGH SCHOOL LIBRARY
BEANS AND BACON ENJOYED
AT HICONE.
A great deal of interest is being
shown in debating, which in per
haps due to the great success of our
triangular debates of last year. Of
course the main purpose of this club
is to produce four triangular debat
ers who will all go to Chapel Hill.
This club will also produce future
debaters and will give good training
for any one in public speaking.
—Robert Haab has been elected
president of Switzerland,
During the last month the library
has been progressing rapidly. Many
mprovements have been made, which
add both to the attractiveness and
usefulness of the library.
One of these improvements is a
large, roomy desk which is a great
impiovement over the old one. This
desk is located at the entrance to
the library, but is built in a curve
so that the librarian sits a good way
from the door and pupils coming up
to the desk do not “block traffic.”
A magazine rack, nine magazine cov
ers, about nineteen or twenty books-
and a number of posters, are a few
more of the additions. The posters
are very attractive and carry mes
sages that should be heeded by ev-;
ery pupil.
Besides this rapid growih and the
many improvements, the pupils [
seem to be taking more interest in
the library. This can readily be seen ,
by the large number of pupils who [
come to the library at each period.
Tuesday morning, Dec. 27, Edwin
Pearce, Johnny Clenclenin, Robert
Irvin, Bobby Wilkins and Hubert
Rawlins rolled their scorty blankets
about a neat supply of Christmas
daintie.5, and potatoes and started
for a trip, to the old site of Camp
Hicone. The cold weather made
the old fireplace a cozy spot, and
many were the nuts cracked and
stories told about the soothing fire,
and the harmony that rolled out
the windows, warned the farmers
to tie their hounds up for the night.
Although these young knights hal
no hunting permit they got game in
abundance; they shot the “bull”, kill
ed time, caught colds and brought
back many wild “tales.” All in all,
there are none regretting their trip,
however, and when Friday night
came, five boys at least slept well.
The game was probably the best
seen here this year. Each team
fought hard all the time and although
Greensboro had the edge an the Twin
City hunch during the whole contest
the game never ceased to he interest
ing and full of punch.
Daniels for Greensboro played stel
lar hall piling up 17 points for his
side. Britton, also of Greensboro,
played good hall making one beauti
ful shot from the center of the floor.
The guarding work of Williams
stands out as one of the features of
the game while the whole Greensboro
team played good hall.
F'or Winston Caldwell and Conley
played exceptionally good games.
Conley piled up 7 points in fouls
alone, for his side. Gofer for Win
ston also played a good and the
guarding work of Davis showed up
well. No one person stood out so
very much above every one else on
the Winston team but all plaved a
wonderful game and proved them
selves to be good sportsman.
The first half started off with, a
rush each team playing hard. As a
consequence many fouls were made
and quite a few petty s.raps came
up but fortunately none amounted to
anything. Daniels and Britton star
red for Greensboro in this half while
Caldwell and Conley played good
hall for the Twin City team. The
half ended with the score 20 to 13 in
fovor of Greensboro.
The second half was not as fast a.s
the first, Greensboro playing more of
a defensive game due to renewed
rushing of VI inslon. Nevertheless
interest never lagged and each team
played the game for all that it was
worth. Daniels and Britton starred
for Greensboro while Caldwell did
exceptionally good work for Kinston
making several good shots.

TEACHERS TAKE REST FROM
CLASSROOM CARES
As the birds fly, so the teacher.s
of thi.s progressive and poweiTul
metropolis took their suitcases and
with never a tear or backw'ard
glance, tore themselves from our
midst and fled to their own parental
domiciles or favorite nooks to pass
the Xmas season. Some went south,
to Florida where organdies and sun
shades hold sw'ay; some w'ent north
where the cold nipped their noses and
18 deg. C. felt like summertime—
Bit! Some worked—washed dishes,
they say; some “hibernated”—ah—
they did most every old thing, 'til
another year rolled 'round—and then
back to Greensboro to pester us kids
some more and scare us to death
with examinations.
