Paragraphics
We knew that the football worm
was bound to turn, but we ddin’t
have any idea that he’d lie flat on
his back and paw the air.

Dr. S. B. Turrentine mistook our
orchestra for a downtown band.
What more is there to live for now?
The man who wrote that old Eng
lish chanty, “Heave Ho, Blow Your
Man Down,” must have been a foot
ball enthusiast.
For the disillusionment of some of
our alumni, the “Staff” considers it
its j)Ieasant duty to inform them that
“D” on the report card simply re-
plaies the old ‘C—and does not
have the subtle meaning that some of
them seem to think.
It's getting so we have “Evening
Breezes” in llie morning. Odd. isn’t
it?
J’he ({uestion with some of our
humorous ’22 alumni seems to be,
did Miss Summerell ride or walk
through N. C. C. W?

Good apj>lause is aj)propriate ap
plause.
Have you some manners in your
system? If not, watch our “Man
ners Course.”
All we have to say regarding the
Faculty-Scrub game is that it might
be a good idea for the faculty to
store up an extra amount of Stone’s
Liniment, Bain-Killer, Hair Reviver
and several similar medicants for
gossip whis])ers that they may find
it very useful after and d-uring the
game.
\^'e wish to congratulate everyone
on the fine spirit that was shown
Friday afternoon. Especially do we
commend the boys for the place
which thev took in it.
Heretofore they have not taken as
prominent a j)art in the cheering and
snake dancing as might have been
expected. Only a few loyal boys have
stuck to the cheer leaders, and only
those who were not afraid of being
called “sissy” would help perform
the snake dance.
Xo so Friday, for every one of
them cheered just as loudly and just
as long as any girl that might have
been found. From the way some of
them executed the snake dance one
would have thought that they were
“the snake’s hips.’”
Tliis is no more than we expect
from our boys, because they never
fail to deliver the goods, but we just
wish them to know that we see and
appreciate what they do for G. H. S.
School Life A Contract.
Did you ever think of entering in
to school life as entering into a con
tract? Every student should think
of school life in this light. When he
applies for admission he does so
that lie may receive education. He
in return promises that he will be
prompt, that he will endeavor to
learn that which he is taught, and
that he will obey the rules and reg
ulations of the school.
But too frequently we find the
student failing to perform his jiart
of the contract. He is tardy in the
morning, usually without a valid ex
cuse. During the day he is listless
and lazy and does not perform his
tasks as he should. He also diso
beys the rules. Probably he skips
a class or leaves the school grounds
when he shouldn’t. In these and
other ways he fails to stick to the ob
ject mutually agreed upon, “Each
do his best.’’ While the school is do
ing its best to educate him mentally,
physically, socially and morally, he
is doing almost nothing in return.
In the commercial world wKen one
party to a contract fails to perform
his part or commits what is known
as a “breach of contract,” a penalty
is exacted. There are penalties for
the same thing in school. If the
student is tardy, he is required to
stay in one hour after school and
study. If he does not do his best in
studying, low grades are the penalty.
Or if he breaks the rules, adequate
punishment is administered, and he
may even be expelled from school.
Thus, if he fails to perform his part,
he may find that the contract^ is
open to him no longer, that it has
become null and void, and that he
has forfeited hi^ right to further
benefit from the school. So, fellow
students, let us make our contracts
and fulfil them to the best of our
ability.

The Gr. H. S. Stringers in
Chapel
The G. H. S. “Stringers,” or in
other words, the G. H. S. string band,
was first heard in chapel Tuesday,
Oct. 17. Several up-to-date and
timely selections were given, which
were enjoyed by those who were
present. The band is composed of
fifteen boys and girls with Mr. Bar
ton as leader.
Greensboro ‘Shades’ at
N. C. C. W. I
Out of Forty-nine girls who gradu
ated from G. H. S. last year, twenty-
seven are treading th'e path of know
ledge at N. C. C. W. It is a coinci
dence that so many Greensboro girls
decided to go to N. C. C. W., but it
seems that the people of Greensboro
are just realizing the opportunity of
fered them in their own home town.
Twelve of the twenty-seven are room
ing in the domitories. And they seem
to fit into the college life as well as
if they were two hundred miles from
home.

Everyday Manners
“Life is not so short but that there
is always time enough for courtesy."
—Emerson
But what is the courteous thing to
do? This column is intended to help
those asking this question. It they
are further interested, they should
read a very interesting book in thc;
library entitled “Everyday Manners”^
These simple rules for introductions:
have been condensed from a chap
ter on that subject in this book.
A man is always presented to a
woman, as “Miss Smith, this is Mr.
Bolton.” A younger person is pre
sented to an older person, thus: “Mr.
Jones, this is my friend Miss Hol
brook.”
Never command an introduction.
It is bad form to say, “Meet Mr.
Jones,” or “Shake hands with Mr. |
Brown.”
If you are a' person who is being
introduced, there is a certain cour
tesy demanded of you. .Rise, if a
friend is introducing you to his or
her mother or father, or to an older
person and remain standin«[ until
the older person is seated. Do not
offer to shake hands unless he does
but be ready to accept his overtures
of friendliness. Say, “How do you
do, Mrs. Jones (or Mr. Jones)? !
Girls, if a friend is introducing,
you to a girl friend, rise and offer
your hand. If a boy is being intro
duced, you need not rise if you are
seated. But if you wish to express
cordiality, meet him halfway by ex-
dending your hand. Boys, rise, but
let the girl take the initiative about
shaking hands. If you are being in
troduced to another boy, always rise
and shake hands.
Do not say “Glad to meet you.”
By its flippancy, this phrase loses
any real meaning. “How do you do,
Miss Jones or Mr. Smith” is suffi
cient. To repeat the person’s name
helps to fasten it in your mind, and
shows the person whom you are meet
ing that you are interested in him.
