In Spite of Losing Both
Daniel and Sebum and
Scoring 27 Fouls,
Greensboro Wins
26 to 24
Greensboro Defeated Charlotte last
night in the second game at ChapeJ
Hill, winning the Western Champion
ship. The game was the most ex
citing played during the series
Gi*eensboro had Charlotte on the
short end of a score of 19 to 8 at
the end of the first half, while dur
ing the second half Charlotte first
tied the score on Britton’s quint and
then exceeded it scored by two points,
22 to 20. But two foul shots by
Britton and a field goal by Godwin
saved the day, giving the western
championship to Old G. H. S. by a
'Score of 26 to 24.
The team work in the first half was
excellent, Daniel, Sebum, and Britton
doing the star shooting. Britton
drew first blood for Greensboro,
making a foul and a long distance
shot count. Personal fouls which
counted heavily against Greensboro
during the whole game, lost Sebum
for us in this half. Transou was
substituted for him. When the whis
tle blew G. H. S. was on top 19 to 8.
The second half was the exciting
half. Daniel being put out almost
at the very beginning on personal
fouls. Goodwin who was substituted
for him did himself credit. When
just about four minutes before the
final whistle Greensboro was behind
22 to 20, but thanks to Britton and
Goodwin it was raised to 26 to 2'4 in
Greensboro’s favor.

SENIORS ARE ENTERTAINED BY
Misses Nita Gressitt and Martha
Blakeney were Joint hostess to the
Senior class on Friday night. This
being George Washington’s birthday
the idea was carried out quite effect
ively. The guests arrived clad in
■gay colonial costumes of every sort.
Among the many colonial dames
tl-ere were seen Martha’s and Mary’s
of all kinds. There were two dis
tinguished Spanish gentlemen who
mingled among the guests and soon
became accustomed to the American
customs.
An interesting event of the’even.ng
was a contest to see who could make
the most words out of the name
“George Washington.’" At the conclu
sion of the contest it was found that
Louise Pettit scored highest with
seventy-eight words. She was pre
sented with a lovely prize symbolic
of the occasion.
One of tho most enjoyable events
of the evening was the Virginia Reel.
•■^11 partook of this interesting and
jolly dance, except some of the eldest
dames who preferred to look on.
After a series of interesting games
and contests, the gues-ts were invited
to the cafeteria where they enjoyed
a beautifully served ice course con
sisting of cream and French pastries.
The tables were arranged in “w’s
and at each place thei^ was a tiny
basket of red mints.
The entire occasion was much en
joyed by all those present and aside
from the several collisions of the
hoop-skirted damsels the evening
passed amid merry scenes of revelry.

. With the tickets priced so low
it is hoped that they will sell quickly.
It is up to the pupils of the school
to get busy and get people interest

with the co-operation of not only
those who take part in the play,
but those who are helping by sell

We can make Greensboro proud

BURLINGTON PUT BEHIND
G. H. S. IN ROUGH GAME
FOR SIAfE CHAMPIONSHIP
G. H. S. on the Bottom in
First Half, but Britton’s
Shots and Goodwin’s
Rally Save the Day
The Greensboro High School Bas-
ketljall Team passed the second mile
post on the road to the state cham
pionship, Friday Feh. 21 at Guilford
college, still going strong; hut in
so doing encountered a rough spot.
The rough spot in question was
Burlington High School who was
eliminated by the score of 33 to 28.
In the early part of the game a
fight started which resulted in Dan
iels being shorn of his jersey and
also the game being shorn of Dan
iels plus Mclnto-sh the Burlington
Center. Goodwin who took Daniels’
place was slightly nervous at first
hut in the second half he rallied
to the cause and played brilliantly.
In the first half Burlington scored
the most points. Webster for Bur
lington caged the most field goals
followed closely by Garret. For
Greensboro Britton played good ball
1 caging most of his teams’ total points
in this period. When the whistle
' blew Greensboro was shown to l)e
on the short end of 15 to 13 score.
In the second half Goodwin found
himself and with him as a storm
center the team rushed the Burling
ton lads off their feet. Henderson
for Greensboro started the rally by
a beautiful shot from the center of
the floor. Williams played his
usual fine game at guard. Garret
did all of his teams scoring in this
half except one field goal. The
game ended with score 33 to 28.

PLAYS ARE THE FAD
It seems as though “the play’s
the thing” in G. H. S. this spring.
Besides the Dramatic Club play. “The
Captain of Plymouth” and the home
talent production, “Katacha Koo”
under the auspices of the Senior
Class, the Laiin Club, composed
of the menfters of the Senior Latin
class are planning to give a play.
It will be based on the work they ^en te come out for track
have been studying, being ihe story
of Aeneas and Dido. All plans have
not yet be^ made.
in the high jump and the shot put.
Other representatives are. C. Hen
derson, N. Jones, B. -Wilkins, and
T. J. Wilkins on the relay team; H.
Lashly and D. Thomas in the 50
yard da.sh, and B. Wilkins in the
220 yard dash. Among the old men
back wdth us are Lashley, B. Wil
kins, Jones, Daniel, Henderson, and
J. Wilkins. These are coming out
for track and others are coming
after the basketball season closes.
G. H. S. made a splendid record,
last year, and did some mighty fine
work. Although we lost many men
whose places are hard to fill, we
feel that, with the material we now
have, we can woi'k up good, if
not a better, track team than that of
last year. G. H. S. scored honors
and won the meet last year and
we can do it again with the co-
opei«tion of the boys. Coach Pur-
rington is very anxious for more
and
make thie one of the biggest yea^:s
for track in the histom' of G. H. S.
arthletics.
The Glee Club members are de
lighted with Mr. Wade R. Brown’s
contest which is to take place at
N. C. C. W. on May 6. It is
the first tim,^ that Glee Club
work has been so recognized. Our
Club stands well in the line and it
expects to make a showing of which
Old Gi H. S. will be proud. Just
where that is we are not prepared
to say for the members have 'not
“pertormed” for us yet. We believe
though that it will sweep off with
the honors. They begin practicing
for it immediately. If you,can sing,
come on and line up with the
bunch that is going to lead Old
G. H. S. to musical fame.
MR. CARMICHAEL MAKES PEEA
FOR “BOY SCOOT MOVEMENT”
Monday morning, Feb. 27, the pu
pils and faculty of G. H. S. had the
pleasure of hearing Mr. Carmichael,
one of the leading Scout men of the
nation.
MR. BOB GILES ILL
Mr. Bob Giles has been in St.
Leo Hospital for the past two weeks,
sufferine from an attack of pneumo
nia. For many days his condition
was quite serious, but he is reported
to be regaining his strength daily
now. It is hoped that he wiil soon
be able to resume his duties in G.
H. S.
Sourness and indifference get no
where.
His talk went straight to the
heart. Mr. Carmichael’s appeal was
to the boys as boys to become
Scouts and in doing so prepare for
a higher, better service as leaders
for the Scouts of the future. He
showed how the qualities of a Scout
in boyhood aids him in becoming
a leader of men in later life. Not
in a long while has G. H. S. had
such a moving plea for the “Boy
Scout Movement.” Mr. Carmich
ael’s talk was enjoyed thoroughly.
At the conclusion of his talk A1
Purrington lead us in a few roof
lifting yells in preparation for to
morrow’s game. The announcement
of a forty-five minute extra “Sousa”
holiday gave rise to another roof-
raising demonstratioH which lasted
for some time.
Business is only a form of teaehing.
