“gay it With Songs” Is the Keynote
of Every Informal
Toast.
humor predominates feast
“Say it with songs” was the keynote of
the annual Junior-Senior banquet held
at the Jefferson Standard cafe on Fri
day night, April 17. The Seniors were
welcomed by a receiving line composed
of members of the faculty and of the
presidents of the Junior and Senior
classes. After the guests had assembled
the Juniors led the way into the banquet
hall, which was decorated with dogwood
and balloons of varied colors. On the
tables were miniature Maypoles draped
with the colors of the two classes, be
tween which were vases of purple iris.
Glenn Holder, president of the Junior
class, welcomed the Seniors with a par
ody based on the song, “Welcome Sweet
Springtime,” and he then advised every
one to “hop to it!”
Garnett Gregory, president of the Sen
ior class, responded with “Till Spring
time Comes.”
The following toasts, all clear and con
cise, were given: “Soldiers’ Chorus,” Ra
chael Nye; “See the Conquering Hero
Comes,” Virginia McClamroch; “Hickory
Dickory Dock,” Troy Ziglar; “Scenes
That Are Brightest,” Michaux Crocker;
“Alma Mater,” the Juniors; “Great Big

HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT BODY
OBSERVES NATIONAL ART WEEK
Mr. Barton Talks on “Appreciation of
Architecture,” Miss Zolloman “Art
As Related to Dress.”
National Art Appreciation Week was
observed at Greensboro High School
April 6-10, 1925.
“Appreciation of Architecture” was
the subject discussed by the speaker, Mr.
Harry Barton, at the chapel assembly of
the main building, April 6.
“Since nine-tenths of our money is
spent on buildings, why should we not
make them beautiful?” the speaker asked.
Mr. Barton indicated the points by
which good architecture may be recog
nized, as follows: the principles of pro
portion, scale, and color.
“America can claim only one type of
architecture as original with her. That
is the colonial style,” the speaker said.
Miss Zolloman, of the Home Economics
Department, spoke to the Girls’ Assem
bly on Thursday, April 9, concerning
“Art as Related to Dress.”
She emphasized the fact that art is
an every-day thing, and not merely a
picture in a frame. “The real artists of
today are the dressmakers, designers,
and people who choose cloth for dresses,”
declared the speaker.
“Color is a very important item in the
art of dress. Colors should harmonize
when used together and each blends with
each to add to the beauty of the whole.

The program for Tuesday and Wed
nesdays, April 14 and 15, was a varied
and enjoyable one. Randall Martin and

in the declamation contest. The program
was then turned over to Mr. Gildersleeve.
He announced that the contestants for
the state music contest would have
charge of the programs for this week.
“Tommy” Strader, winning soprano,
was unusually pleasing in her song. The
next number was three songs sung by the
girls’ glee club under the direction of
Mr. Gildersleeve. Mary Elizabeth King,
Greensboro’s representative in piano,
gave a beautiful number by Beethoven.
“Little Mother of Mine,” sung by Ed
ward Stainback, G. H. S., contestant in
voice, justly received a most enthusiastic
applause.
The girls’ glee club gave the closing
number in these programs.
FRED ARCHER WILL RESUME
WORK AT G. H. S. JUNE 10
One day last week three men were dis
cussing business in one of the largest
business houses in town. A knock came
at the door. “Extra! Extra!” called the
little newsboy, who, without waiting for
an admittance, burst into the room.
“Paper, Mister?” he addressed Mr. J.
Norman Wills.
“T have one—sorry,” our school friend
replied.
“Don’t you want one, sir?” the boy
smiled into the face of a friend of all
school children.
“Thanks, little man, but I have just
bought one,” Mr. E. D. Broadhurst an
swered.

HI INTER-CLASS TRACK MEET
HERE PROVES HUGE SUCCESS
Marked Improvement Over Last Year’s
Records Shown and Coach Park
Is Pleased At Interest.
The High School Inter-Class Track
Meet, which took place Saturday-, April
18, at the Fair Grounds, proved a great
success. Various competitors represent
ing the Freshman, Sophomore, Junior and
Senior classes displayed good form and
showed a marked improvement over last
year’s records.
Coach Herbert Park, of the High
School, was very much pleased with the
meet and expressed his surprise at the
interest shown. Though the various
classes did not compete with each other,
the existence of keen rivalry between the
contestants was noted.

BY FLOOD OF QUARTERS
SCHOOL WINS HOLIDAY
April Is a Big Month for the Ath
letic Association.
On Thursday, April 9, the Greensboro
High Schol fell victim to an enormous
flood of quarters which swept away every
Athletic Association ticket in its path.
Moreover, it was necessary^ to declare a
half-holiday Friday in order that the
effect of such a deluge of coin upon the
Athletic Association’s treasury might be
estimated. According to Mr. Bullock
and other authorities, the torrent was
caused by the breaking of a reservoir
under the strain of spring weather and
pre-Easter influences. However, he add
ed that the association might recover
from the shock.
It is rumored that for several days
prior to the catastrophe a large number
of students, undoubtedly inspired by a
morbid hatred for the Athletic Associa
tion (for officials believe that the matter
of a half holiday was merely a minor
motive) evilly organized under the direc
tion of picked class leaders to damage
Financial Reservoir in such a manner as
to release hundreds and hundreds of
heavy quarters upon the defenseless Ath
letic Association, thereby locking the
giant wheels of education for hours. That
alleged agreement was carried out, secret
service men believe.
Although no formal statement has been
issued by the association heads, it was
learned that a drag-net had been spread,
late Friday afternoon, around the whole

Work on “Dulcy,” the senior class
play, continues with daily'’ afternoon re
hearsals on the narrow auditorium stage
and promises to make of the domestic
comedy a finished production. There are
yet to be solved many knotty problems in
stagecraft; but Mr. Wunsch and Miss
Wheeler are about to convert into a
really loving husband for Dulcy, Pats
Forbes, whose initial cave-man methods
were considered too brutal for amateur
theatricals; they have fortunately suc
ceeded in getting Judah Shohan to take
the role of Mr. Forbles; and they are
successfully teaching Bernard Shaw to
play rhapsodies on the grand piano while
he makes love to Mrs. Forbes, Frances
Elder.
Virginia McClamroch in the title role
seems admirably suited, and her support
ing cast is all that is to be desired. Bill
Roach, who will act as stage manager, is

MISS BULLARD’S CLASS
VISITS COLUMBIA LAUNDRY
Thursday, April 9, the fourth period
Science class, conducted by Miss Bullard,
paid a most unusual and enjoyable visit
to the Columbia Laundry. This was
probably the first visit made by the class
to an outside establishment.
Conducted by one of the foremen, the
science pupils strolled at will on the sec
ond floor of the building. Everyone was
astonished at the innumberable pieces of
machinery. The class saw the clothes
when first brought in and carried through
all the various processes which they must
undergo. The company, so the foreman
stated, employs 56 people in the laundry
department alone. The students found

PECULIAR SNOW FALLS IN APRIL
On April 16 and 17 such a peculiar and
extraordinary snow fell upon Greensboro
High School that the entire student body
is alarmed over its possible effect upon
a select few of the faculty. The fresh
men feel confident that they will witness
the result before they complete the
courses administered in the main build
ing.

The regular monthly teachers’ meeting
assumed a novel form Thursday morning,
April 16, when the faculty almost 100
percent strong met at 7:30 o’clock at
the Fligh School cafeteria and enjoyed a
delicious breakfast with fun and busi
ness served a la carte, through the cour
tesy and thoughtfulness of Miss Killings-
worth.
In her usual gracious manner. Miss
Killingsworth welcomed the teachers,
stating that the purpose of the meeting
was twofold: namely, to dispense with
some necessary announcements, and to
do honor to the two prospective brides
of which the faculty now boasts. She
ended her welcome by a direct and em
phatic question addressed to the young
brides-to-he, “How in the world did
you do it?”—the mystic answer to which
was not revealed. Several announce
ments were made by Miss Killingsworth
and Mr. Edwards while the teachers en
joyed an appetizing two-course breakfast
served under the direction of Mrs. Comer.
The banquet-hall of the cafeteria was
tastefully decorated with spring blos
soms. On a small table in the center
of the quadrangle of the breakfast table

GEORGETTE PLAYERS ENTERTAIN
TWO LARGE AUDIENCES AT G.H.S.
This Company Played Twenty-Five
Different Instruments—“La Pa-
loma” Pleases Students.
On Thursday, April 16, the Georgette
Players brought here under the auspices
of the Senior class entertained an over
flowing auditorium of high school pu
pils. The players, Mr. Georgette, his
daughter. Miss Josephine, and the pian
ist, Miss Parr, played 25 different instru
ments, violin, cello, banjo, Swiss hand
bells, saxophone, xylophone, and many
others. The company was very gracious
and gave a number of encores. The most
popular numbers were “La Paloma,”
played on the Musical Roses, and Miss
Josephine’s violin and xylophone num
bers.
The concert was instructive as well as'
entertaining, for Mr. Georgette explained
the history of each instrument. “The
Hungarian Dulcimer,” he said, “was
used in Biblical times. The xylophone
originated in Alfrica, being worn first
as a belt.”
In an interview after the performance,
Mr. Georgette said that he wished to
thank the Junior and Senior classes for
their splendid co-operation. He also said
that since the company had been so en
thusiastically received, he hoped to make
a return engagement at a later date.
This performance, with a few addi
tional numbers, was repeated for the out
siders and parents Thursday night.
