Faculty Adviser Read the Ads. They contain valuable Information Editorial The new semester has been started right. New song books have been bought for the school, and we expect to hear strains of melody falling on the air, at fre quent entervals. The song books will fill a long felt need, for the old ones have long since gone the way of destruction. The name of the new acquis- tion is the “Hymnal for xAmeri- can Youth,” edited by H. A. Smith. May the lives of these books be longer than their predecessors. Chapel Conduct Chapel is an institution that is followed for the benefit of the school as a whole. From time to timq- outstanding speakers are brought to us. It is the height of rudeness to make these visitors feel the least uncomfortable, by any look or deed. Often, unthinkingly, we whis per to, or nudge our friends. This is annoying and distracting to the one who is talking. So let’s stop doing these child ish things, and make our Chapel conduct above reproach. EVERYDAY MANNERS Boys and girls: On the Streets and at Public Entertainments. Every right sort of a boy regards the friendship of any right sort of a girl as a privilege. It is some thing to be won. For this reason he follows the age-old masculine prerogative of taking the initiative. He should, whenever possible, first seek to know a girl in her home in order that her parents may be sat isfied that she will be safe in his company. Then if a girl has accepted a boy’s invitation and if a defininte time for starting has been agreed upon, it is a matter of courtesy for a girl to be ready on time. At the theater, if an usher shows a boy and a girl to their seats, the girl should go ahead of the boy. If no usher is there, the boy goes first to find the seats, but when he reaches the row, he should stand aside and let the girl pass in ahead of him. Both should remember that well-bred people do not talk or munch candy during the perform ance of a play. Upon arriving home, it is not customary if the hour is late, for the girl to ask her escort into the house. It is only common courtesy, how ever, for her to thank him for the evening’s entertainment, and to invite him to call at another time. He secs hei.' safely inside her home before he takes his leave. It seems reasonable that a girl shoud expect a boy To raise his hat when greeting her or parting from her. To refrain from lounging against walls or pillars when talking to her. To stand when talking to a girl who is standing. To walk on the outside, instead of the inside of the walk, when escorting a girl, and not to sandwich himself between two girls when walking with them. To avoid Jostling against her, or grabbing her arm, or other famil iarity. On the girl’s part, it is ex tremely bad taste under or dinary circumstances, to take a boy’s arm. A boy should not take a girl’s arm except to assist her. He may do so when board ing a car, crossing a crowded street, or piloting her in a dan gerous place. MID-TERM Why all of these despairing groans? Why all the shaky knees? It couldn’t be the weather, Tisn’t cold enough to freeze. Now what can be the reason? There must be a special one. Oh, now I see it plainly: Mid-term reports have come. •—Helen Felder. SENIOR ENGLISH CLASSES ORGANIZED On the first day of the new sem ester the second and sixth pe riod English classes met and chose Thelma Floyd and Ruth James as class chairmen, and David Thomas and Harvey Liung as class secretaries. Catherine Cox was elected reporter of the 2nd period class. Those elected to serve on the English coucil were Bertha Ferree, Lucile Hart, and Robert Irvin. Those in the sixth period were Marjorie Cartland, Rutli James and Katharine Gregory. It is the aim of these two classes to work for increased liter ary knowledge and not for grades STUDENT DIRECTORY Publications Hi^h Life Editor-in-Chief Louise C.

BIRTHDAY Yes, just so, the word “birthday” does have its own particular attrac tions. On February 17th, the Na tional Congress of Mothers and Parent-Teacher Association will cel ebrate its twenty-sixth anniversary. Lip until that time the phrase “child welfare” had not been heard of. With the coining of these words thousands of children have been benefited. The organization in Greensboro has been especially enthusiastic and interested in this work. They are planning a most interesting program for Friday, February 16th. They have secured for a speaker for this occasion Dr. Rankin (W. S.), of the State Board of Health, Raleigh, North Carolina, who has done such an outstanding piece of work in formulating the Health Program for North Carolina. He is a most interesting speaker, and every mother is urged to be present. Special music has been arranged and after the program there will be a kind of “fellowship” meeting with refreshments for all who will stay. The program is as follows: 1. Brief but authoritative history of the Association, by Mrs. Julius Cone, Pres. General Council. 2. Address by Dr. W. S. Rankin of the State Board of Health. Sub ject: “Child welfare.” 3. Short talk by Mr. W. H. Swift. Subject: “Should Congress Be Given the Right to Regulate Employment of Children by Constitutional Amendment.” 4. Introduction of Dr. Carl A. Grote, City Physician, by Mr. E. D. Broadhurst. 5. Special music, arranged by Mrs. Andrews. REMEMBER. Time: 8:30 P. M. Place: Court House. Date: Feb. 16, 1923. G.H.S.
