SERIOUS INJURY

NAIL SAVES THE EXPERT
Miss Grogan asked Jimmy Clements
if he could prove that the base angles
of an isosceles triangle were equal. And
Jimmy said he didn't have to prove it;
he admitted it.
Leaves Part of His Pants On Tree.
Raincoat of Friend Saves Him
Embarrassing Situation.
The other day Glenn Holder (con
nected with High Life) asked Miss Til-
lett why Noah didn't swat both flies
when he had the good chance.
G. H. S. has among her celebrities an
expert iiarachute jumper. No kiddin’,
tliat’s a fact. The only difference is that
he jumiis from the tops of trees instead
of halloons or aeroplanes. Another dif
ference is the kind of parachute he
uses—the leafy hide of a tree.
His favorite method of making his
jumps is to climb out on a weak limb
of the tree and hang there by his hands
until the limb breaks off. Then, with
that limb as a parachute, he gracefully
floats down to earth.
But one day the parachute expert
made a miscalculation; he picked a par
achute which was too close to the trunk
of the tree. In his descent he brushed
against the tree-trunk, and his pants
hung on a nail driven in the tree. Hav
ing gone too far in his jump to with
draw, Mr. Todd, oh, excuse me, I mean
the parachute jumper, continued on his
way to earth, and left part of his
pants on the tree.
The parachute artist was saved from
a very embarassing situation by the
rare presence of mind of a companion
who supiilied a raincoat
'When Miss Boyington’s class was
raising a big fuss last Tuesday, Miss
Boyington said: “xVll I want is a chance
to express myself!”
Bobby 'Wilson spoke up and said:
“Fine! AVliere to?”
Mabel I.aBarr told Mr. Fordham that
she could understand how they found
new planets, but that she certainly
wondered how tliey got to know their
names.
Miss Csldwell asked Margaret Hood
if her father wrote her term paper
and Margaret said: “No, he started
to, but mother had to write it all over
again.”
"When Miss Pullen asked her pupils
to bring in advertisements which they
made up themselves, Flenry Goodwin
brought in the following:
“Use our Pancake Flour and You’ll
never use any other.”
George Newman told Mr. Johnson
that “Black Mail” was a colored man’s
correspondence, and that an aspirin
tablet was something to write on.

Pilot Life
INSURANCE CO.
In this Greensboro High School cen-
j ter and institution of learning, recent
ly, sometime between the hours of 8:30
in the morning and 3:30 in the afternoon
of the same day a young writer—or
would-be writer—was poring forth
words of wisdom and instruction from
an ever flowing pen, or maybe it was
a pencil. As the writer continued writ
ing, the seconds grew into minutes and
with each additional minute new words
of wisdom were added to the already
some, well, some few pages of her, for
it was a member of the fair sex, master
piece.
Then all of a sudden her ever flow
ing pencil ceased to flow, not for lack
of words, but for lack of that mater
ial on which to transcribe her contri
bution to the literary world. Following
the example of other writers of note,
she got up and paced the floor not one,
but a number of times.
Down the hall of the main building
her footsteps led her. At last her ever
trusty eye caught sight of a tablet of
the same kind she had been using in
the preparation of her masterpiece.
“Ah! sureh' the gods have favored me,”
she muttered as she found no marks of
ownership. So she claimed it as her
own and started to take off with it. But
remembering the wise crack of Frank
lin, or some one else, she left a per
fectly good nickle in its place and went
back to finish her masterpiece.
WINSTON PRESENTS TWO
CHAMPIONSHIP PLAYS
'Winston-Salem High School present
ed their two state championship plays.
Roads and Rain, by Loretta Carroll,
and The Valiant, by Hall and Middle-
mas, at N. C. C. W., auditorium on
Saturday night. May 1. The first play
won over Greensboro in the contest for
the best original play while the second
won from Wilson for the best pre
sentation of another’s play. A small but
enthusiastic audience witnessed the per
formance.
Winston is entering Loretta Carroll’s
play in a national contest in New York
for the best original play.
It was pretty, that dress. Yes, un
deniably beautiful. It would have cost
several dollars had not mother made it
from a remnant. But that has nothing
to do with the fact that it was beau
tiful. It was loud too. Quite loud I
Red ! Blue ! White 1
But it rained. Water, wet water.
And the worth of that remnant
came out. It wasn’t worth much, even
at 98c. the yard. And it faded. Blue
and red became yellow blotches on
white squares.
Multiply the above example by four
hundred and the result is the number
of spring linen, calico and silk dresses
ruined by Monday’s rain.
Well, maybe not quite that many.
STUDENTS VIEW SELVES
AS CAMERA SEES THEM
“Tweet! Tweet 1 I>ook at the birdie,
oh! wait! My nose isn’t powdered. Have
you a vanity, or a comb? And such
were the remarks made as the pictures
were being taken. Now they’ve come
and oh the disallusionment. Some of
them didn’t know they were so beau
tiful or—ugly as the case may be, un
til tliey had their picture “tuck” the
other day. Heretofore they had been
drifting around in clouds of dreams,
but alas! they were suddenly awak
ened to find that they were no longer
Venuses as they thought they were,
but now they see each other as others
have seen them. After this enlightment
the school is made up of less conceited
students. There were some that were
flattered; they feel that the “camera
man” did this on purpose, as he want
ed them to enjoy the privilege of be
ing good-looking at least once in their
lives.

STEPHENS TALKS
ON APRIL 22 TO
BOYS IN CHAPEL
Thursd'’y, April 22, at Chapel Pe
riod Rev. Will F. Stcqihens, member
of the Stephens Revival Campaign and
boys’ worker, spoke to the boys of the
high school. It was Rev. Stephens, or
Brother Bill, as he is usually known,
who organized “The Gang,” an organ
ization of young men who were con
verted during the stay of the Stephen’s
Revival Campaign in High Point.
“Brother Bill” in a talk that was
straight from the shoulder, stressed
the importance of square, whole-hearted
living by the boys. He also impressed
on the boys that popularity was a bad
thing for the boy unless the boy was
the master of popularity instead of pop
ularity making the master of the boy.
“When you receive praise, thank the
giver and forget it, urged Rev. Steph
ens.” At the close of his powerful and
heart gripping talk that held the boys
attention thru out his entire speech he
invited the boys to attend the services

MRS. L. G. DIBBLE TALKS
TO GIRLS FORUM FRIDAY
Mrs. I>. George Dibble of the Steph
ens Evangelistic Party, talked in Chap
el Wednesday, April 28. Fler subject
centered around a quotation from the
Bible “Daniel purposed in his heart not
to defile himself.” Before Mrs. Dib
ble’s talk, Mr. George Dibble sang, ac
companied on the piano by Miss Birdie
I,oes.
“J'he mind is to the body what a
pilot is to a ship,” Mrs. Dibble stated.
“If the mind leads the body into
wrong channels; it will break to pieces
upon the rocks of life. The mind must
not only be clean itself, but must not
allow the body to acquire bad habits.”
Mrs. Dibble particularly warned
against cheap literature containing de
grading stories, “the reading of which
lead to conversation and habits of a
similiar nature,” said the speaker.
