j What would the world do without
boards? Little do we realize it, but
nevertheless most of our culture and
civilization rest upon boards. Almost
everything of any importance is, or
j is in some way connected with,
j boards. Take the church, the state
; and the home—three of the most im
portant factors in the development
I of mankind, in each you will find one
I kind of board or another.
I In the church is the “board of
I stewards." The stewards are the ones
j who look after the finance of the
I church, and are in charge of all im
provements and philanthropies.
Then in the state everyone knows
' of how great importance is the
' “board of education" and of its
' usefullness.
Now we come to the home,
: —in which the “bread board’ the
; “ironing board,” the “wash board”
and last, but not least, the kind
of “board” “Dad” uses on Sonny
when they go into the wood shed,
I reign supreme.
. Besides these, there are many other
kinds of “boards.” Every where,
, we find boards, and while Isign
' painters probably consider the “bill
I board” king of them all, it would
j take more breath and words than a
I “triangular debate” contains, to con-
' vince a lady who keeps a boarding
: house that her “board” is not the
^ best.
But where does all this talk about
' “boards” lead us? Well it just goes
j to prove that “every thing what is
I any thing has boards.” Now as
' everyone agrees that G. H. S. is
DOGONALITY AND BLACKIE
FOR ALL COLD TROUBLES
Dogonality in a dog is jes ’bout
the same thing as personality in a
person. It’s jest bawn in you and if
you aint got either one uf em you
better go long hoein your own row
and eatin your own bones an leaven
other dogs things alone cause you
have to walk a chalk line jus like
other folks.
Now Blackie, he’s ’bout the scraw
niest orneriest one of the family
but hes got dogonality which makes
up for all his orneroness and puts
him above dogs in'general. And as
for deteinninatiion and faithfulness
why hes bout the faithfulest lil crit-
tur there is. Why he ull sit for
hours on the snow by a dead chicken
with his chin tremblen and him in
mournen because he loved that chick
en when it wuz alive. Now that
goes to show he aint like no ordinary
dog because most of em would be
liking the chicken better dead any
way and might uf killed it with
pleasure. So would Blackie if it
wasn’t for dogonality. That’s what
makes his chin tremble and makes
him set in the snow by a dead chick-
’till someone either takes him
away or the chicken one. I bet there
aint many dogs as faithful as that to
people much less to sick, silly things,
as ole hens. But Blackie, Blackie’s
'bout the faithfullest, meanest, ug
liest, lovin’est dorg there is. When
you ketch him a doin’ somepen he
knows he hadn’t orter he’ll look u
at you and grin kinda sorrowful like

The girls’ Basket Ball Team of G.
H. S., which has forgotten how to
lose a game, made it twenty-three
straight victories Saturday, Feb. 11th,
in the Y. M. C. A. by defeating Reids-
ville High School twenty-five to fif
teen. The score tells the story. It
was Greensboro from start to fiinish.
The speeding work of the entire team,
fast, accurate passing clever guard
ing and nice shooting was too much
for the visitors, who worked hard
and often showed tip top form.
Miss Carlotta Johnson, the shoot
ing ace of the team, had a keen eye
that night and ten times dropped the
ball through the ring. She was
shooting them from all angles and
nothing could stop her.

of course G. H. S. must have
“boards.” So we have resorted
to “bulletin boards.”
Yea, verily, we have bulletin boards
to meet every need. There are the
teachers’ boards and the students’
boards. On these two boards are
posted the notices, and things, of
interest to both faculty and students.
We are fortunate enough to have
two library boards. These boards
prove to be very popular, for at
almost any period, one may find a
group of boys or girls looking at the
pictures posted on them. Besides
know you aint goin’ to hurt your
pore lil dawg for doin’ that if you
don’t ketch him doin’ it again. Then
I smile and then he knows he has me
so the sorrowfulness goes away and
there aint nothen left ’cept grin.
He knows he’s got dogonality an’
he makes the most of it. Even the
other dogs give him their bones
which he growls over 'till he don’t
git to eat ’em.
Another funny thing about him is
his desire to protect things. He’s
’bout the greatest protecter there is,
I reckon. Why, he’ll protect any-

“KATCHA KOO” STAGED
BY ANNUAL STAFF
Sometimes it is good to have a | is to remove Blackie.
Katcha Koo, one of the leading
musical comedies of the season will
be brought here to be played in the
Municipal theatre, March 21st and
22nd. The annua! staff has been
fortunate in getting this play for the
purpose of defraying the expenses
of the Annual.
The leading parts will be played by
the best talent of the city. Many
of the parts will be filled by school
children. The cast of two hundred
and fifty will present groups of
maids from several different coun
tries.
The student leading in the sale of
tickets will be given twenty-five
dollars, and the next highest will
receive fifteen dollars.
The students should begin to talk
up the play and help to make it
a success. The more we make on
the play the less the annual will
cost us.
The business managers of the An
nual, Mr. W. E. Giles, and James
Wilkins will take charge of the
business side of this play.

breakdown such as we had in the
office a few weeks ago, for the re
pairing is often better than the orig
inal. For about three weeks all busi
ness of the High School was crowded
into the private office of Mr. Phillips.
Last week everybody was over
joyed, Mr. Phillips perhaps leading
the list, because of the new and
beautiful ofiice that the painter, the
carpenter, the plasterer and the tele
phone man had helped to make. The
office was plastered and calcimined,
the woodwork was painted, the floor
was stained and the desk was re
painted.—Ruth Hobbs.

Two Cantanerous Old Chaps got
to quarreling before a magistrate,
whose decision naturally displeased
the loser, who turned to his opponent
and threatened: “All right. I can
get no satisbaction here. But I’ll
law you to the Circuit Court.”
“Do. I’m willing,” said he other.
“I’ll law you to the Supreme
Court,” added the threatener.
“Correct—I’ll be there,” was the
reply.
“I’ll law you to hell, so I will,”
was the final threat.
“Go ahead,” said the other. “My
attorney will be there.”
There is jis one more thing I can
tell now ’bout Blackie and that is
his habit of taking his nap every
clay at the same time and place. The
place he takes his nap at is between
the North East legs of the table
and he alwaiys takes it at three
o’clock. The reason I can’t write
any more is because he’s asleep now
and his dogonality can’t think of
anything for him to do now except
dream and I spect he’s dreaming
now ’bout protectin’ some nice new
red hat with lots of soft plumes on
it an' no hat pins or prickly plowers
to stick him.
He: Wliat do you need an umbrella
for, it isn’t raining?
She: I know but it may rain

The Minister’s Appeal had been a
most eloquent one. A man came
forward and pledged $500 for the
fund.
The worthy cleric was overjoyed.
“I don’t know your name, sir,” he
cried, “but I thank you! May your
business prosper, sir!”
Then there was a solemn hush, and
the committee looked askance at
their minister.
“What’s the matter?” whispered
the clergyman, turning to the chair
man.
“Well—er—that man is an under
taker!”

the rairoad tracks. The overseer
sent in his report in one line.
