With all this registration and vot
ing going on in old G. H.,S; we
wouldn’t be surprised to be con
fronted with poll tax.
Some of the studnets dropping
nickels in the Autom,atic Teller
might remember to save one for pay
ment to the Atheletic Association on
Thursdays.
Our Basketball Boys could take
some profitable lessons from the
playing of the girls in I'egard to
■the tricks of the trade.
The students who have been com
plaining that athletics are stressed
to much in the school have just had
a chance to exhibit their prowess on
les.sons.
his hair down from the perpendicu
lar..
Small wonder our librai*y is the
best in the state.
We wouldn’t advise the students
to take the recent statistics too
seriously, but they were remarkably
true in that the success of certain
pupils whose ambitions leaned toward
loafing was given due mention.
If the wallops landed by Dr. Myers
and Paul Rader, during the past few
days could break through the calci-
mining they would certainly do some
real good.
For the past week the Office De
partment has been trying to deter
mine where the Ark landed.
Library Conduct
Library conduct to our mind has
reached a point where further per
fection can hardly be denied. In
fact matters have been almost re
versed. When a student enters the
library now he puts on a subdued
air at the entrance and looks like he
feels he ought to be entering behind
a barrage as if he was entering “No
Man’s-Land.” During his stay in the
over-awed, over-powered “Theatre of
the Studious,’’ he keeps his eyes or
one eye at least warily cut on the
.-•ecehtly constructed breast works
to perceive and thwart if possible
an expected attack by the “War-
Hawk” from the above mentioned
base of hostilities. After he has
observed a few Nvell directed attacks
and successful skirmishes and possi
bly a peek or two on the sly, be
tween moments of extreme vigilance,
he begins the retreat. He advances
or retreats toward tbe door like a
tom cat on a glass roof, but never
theless is prepared to and capable
of making a track record. When he
gets through the door,* if he does,
(We are too chicken-hearted to say
anything about those who don’t). He
emits a deep sigh of relief and won
der at his bravery, wipes the per
spiration—that is, sweat, from his
fear martyred brow, and smooths
The T. B. A’s.
At last some of the boys in the
school are showing hopeful signs
of manhood or that form of conceit
which is known as self respect. For
a long time in the past a formidable
organization of young ladies known
as the D. D. D’s have more or less
set the pace in the high flung
social events of the school, that is
in. vulgarly speaking, slinging the
big sti-uggles and the free for all
present contortion championships.
But girls, it looks as if you are
going, from now on, to meet with
determined competition; for a noble
set of boys have been inspired to
organize in firm and fast brothei'-
hood for mutual protection and social
advancement. They are known as
the T. B. Association. Let, not some
thoughtless person mistake this or
ganization for a local Tuberculosis
Association, because the ascending
social Tea Hounds would be sorely
insulted.
To show that they were worthy
competitors with high ambitions to
supremacy over an aforementioned
feminine league; they opened the
contest with a three course supper
at the Hylmore followed by box
seats at the National; and we are
told that they, during the course of
the dinner, casually let fall the part
that this was merely a starter.
Go to it boys, we believe that the
girls, whether they admit it or no,
are secretly delighted and maybe a
little overawed at the surprisingly
good taste and budding ambition
of some boys in this school.

Trinity Park quint, January 13,

THE AMEN CORNER
SENIOR RINGS FINALLY ARRIVE
Come Up to Expectations
At last the rings have come and the
senioi's are one step nearer their
goal. Friday at the first dinner hour
two members of the ring committee
took a trip to the bank and from
there to the express office. They
tried to keep the purpose of this trip
a secret but somehow the news leak
ed out and the Athletic room which
was being used as a point of dis
tribution was literally stoiined. The
hall during the last period and for
about an hour after school was in an
uproar. The line of eager ring-seek
ers reached from the Athletic room
to 106 and back again. The seniors
as a whole are pleased and the jun
iors ai'e already figuring out how
23 will look on. the ring. Miss
Gressit and Miss Blakney were pre
sented a ring by the class.
The class of '22 .sincerely hopes
the school will like the ring and that
each class will value it as something
really symbolic of the school.
Back of the basketball court, up
at the Y. M. C. A., is a little room.
If you ever noticed it at all, you
probably did not see the dingy, dirty,
little left-hand corner. Nor w'ould
you be expected to; for to the eyes
of the casual observer that is all it is.
But to the girls of the Junior Basket
ball team it means much more than
one w'ould think. Here, it is that
before the game, the “team” comes
to lay its head on its knees, and
to ask, in silent prayer, for victory,
and to pledge themselves to play
the game fairly and squarely, and,
if it is so willed, to meet defeat
without a whimper. Here it is be
tween haves the weary “team” lays
itself down to rest. Here, on the
floor gf the dingy, dirty, friendly
corner they regain part of their
lest strength, and resolve to go back
into the game, and fight for the
Junior Class as they've never fought
before.
The next time the “Junior Team”
trots out on the floor, while you arc
a howling, yelling maelstrom—give
them a rousing cheer, then—if only
in your head—give “The Corner”
three cheers, and one cheer more.
They’ll understand!
The second football team of the
Greensboro High School went down
in crushing defeat before the fast
first team of Benson, Saturday, Jan.
21, 1922, in Greensboro by a score
of 68 to 22. The game was slow
and uninviting, the Benson team
completely outclassing the Greens
boro scrubs. Hudson, Johnson, and
Stone starred for the Benson team
while Everett did practically all
of the shooting for the second team.
The little, forward seemed to be the
only one on the second team who
was able to shoot. At times the
Greensboro team showed dashes of
teamwork but altogetheiv they were
a nervous, unorganized set of boys.
The game was at first for about two
minutes close but in a short time
the Benson team started off on a
rampage and didn’t come back to
earth until the final whistle when
it was found that Greensboro was
swamped by the score of 68 to 22.

A few days ago a group of boys in

club of its kind in the history of

example to the rest of the school in
wholesome social events. The event

Hylmore followed by a theatre party
at the National.

Mildred Leak, Nellie Irvin, Francis
Rankin, Mildred Morrison, Francis

A regular Chinese puzzle in the
form of a problem was posted for
several days, on the “Student’s Bul
letin Board,” awaiting to be solved
by any of the “wise” students who
could master the aforesaid problem.
The problem being a strip of land
left by a father to be divided equal
ly among his eight heirs. Among
themselves this could not be settled,
therefore they carried it to a lawyer,
who, after placing it on blueprint,
cut it into eight equal strips. Some
of these very “wise” students began
to get busy and after tackling the
job, a few distinguished themselve.s
by doing as the lawyer had done,
which was the division of the land
into eight parts. All students, in
Miss Morrow’s classes, who solved
this problem were given extra credit.
The “lucky ones” being Moulton
Avery, Edward Mitchell, Carey How
ard, Herbert Simmons, and Lucille
Howard.

Seburn’s Star Work Prevented
Greensboro Being Entirely
Mopped Up.
The Greensboro High School bas
ket ball team went down in defeat
before the fast quintet from Durham
High School. Thursday, Jan. 19,
1922, in Greensboro. Durham miss
ed one point of doubling the score
20 to 39 on the Greensboro quint
who could not hit their stride. The
Durham team seemed bent on cov
ering up Daniels and as a result
the big center caged only one basket
throughout the game. Sebum was
Greensboro’s star scoring half of
their total points. Green and Kelly
7 out of 9 free throws. Greensboro
starred for Durham, Green caging
was credited with 19 fouls necessitat
ing the removal of their first string
men, which partly explains their
overwhelming defeat.
The game started off with Durham
rushing. The Durham quint had a
fine method of passing. Each man
seemed to know where the other
one was. By long dribbling and
a quick pass to the man waiting
beneath the goal, Durham managed
to pile up a large one, but by Se
burn’s good shooting and hard work
Greensboro managed to stay within
striking distance and the half ended
with the score 12 to 15 in Durham’s
favor.
In the second half Durham started
anew with her deadly quick passing
and in an effort to check this hold
the Greensboro guards made foul
after foul finally being put out
and second string men taking their
place. Then Durham ran away cag
ing basket'upon basket,
and when the final whistle blew
and the smoke cleared up Greensboro
was found to be on the short end
of 39 to 20 score. Sebum was
Greensboro’s star but could not win
the game by himself.
