COLLEGE TEACHER
SPEAKS IN CHAPEL
Mrs. Blanche Shaffer Addresses
the Pupils of High School
on Budgeting
THRIFT REPORT IS READ
Miss Bullard, the faculty adviser for
banking next semester, made a report
on “Thrift” in chapel Tuesday, Jan
uary 18. The week before Christmas
G. H. S. had a percentage of 14, lower
than any other city school, while Ay-
cock ranked the highest with a per
centage of GO. Since Christmas the
high school has been progressing. On
January 18, the number of students de
positing was 96. “Thrift is one of the
most worthwhile projects in our school
and we want to make it a real success
in Greensboro High. We want to get
the habit of depositing and then there
will be no difficulty,” said Miss Bullard
in closing the thrift report.
Miss Blanche Schaeffer, head of
the Home Ecnomics Department at N.
C. C., made a short talk on “Household
Budgeting.” “There are two things to
budget,” the speaker said, “our time
and money. We should have a plan for
spending our money and also for sav
ing our time. We have something to
do with the money we save, but what
about the time wa save, what do we do
with it? The thing that has helped me
most since my high school days has
been the habit of budgeting my time.”
Jane Harris led the devotional and
Miss Fannie Starr Mitcheli introduced
the speakers.
FRESHMEN
“Look out. Bill, they’ll get you!”
“Are you a freshman, boy?”
“Y-y-yes, sir.”
Wham!
“Ow-w-w!”
“Let’s dodge behind the hand-ball
court.”
“All right. Charlie, hand over that
hoard.”
“Aw, Mr. Coletrane, I’ll give it to you
at the eud of school.”
“Let’s get those two kids. They look
fresh enough.”
Wham!
“Hey, wha-cha beating us for?”
“What’s your names?”
“Graham Todd.”
“Ed Kuykendall.”
“Well, I don’t guess the beating will
hurt.”
These remarks are typical of the
warm Avelcome extended by the stu
dents of G. II'.’ S. to the freshmen and
incidentally to two of its most sophisti
cated’ seniors.

HI-Y CLUBS RECEIVE
INSPIRING MESSAGE
Charles T. Boyd the Principal
Speaker at Joint Meeting
of Three Clubs
MACON CROCKER SPEAKS
Mr. Charles T. Boyd, local attorney,
addressing a joint meeting of the Hi-Y
clubs Tuesday evening, January 18, de
clared that although there are liabili
ties and assets in things, there is also
a normal. “Things fluctuate. Some
times the assets are large; sometimes
the liabilities; the normal, however, is
the mean. The normal is the fixed
point, the point at which stability is
reached.”
Mr. Boyd applied this to life and
stressed the need of the steady leAml.”
A steady life,” he said, “is a things to
which all should aspire. Cling to the
things which are tried and true. I don’t
mean to retard progress; but progress i
by delving deep from the surface. Don’t
hinder yourself by digressing into
space.”
At the close of the meeting, Macon
Crocker, president of the newly formed
‘■’Stonewall” Jackson chapter of Hi-Y,
made a short talk to the group.

A greeting Avas sent over radio by
some Avorld tourists on the steamer
Casinthia in Cash Strait, New Zeaiand,
in the stroke of the NeAv Year. It was
reeciA"ed almost instantaneously in NeAv
York, bnt it Avas about 17 hours before

A neAv Federal capital, Canberra, is
being erected. This is to be an ideal
city. The city has been in process of
building since 1913 and noAA^ shoAvs the
lines of its streets, avenues, and its
public buildings.
Friday, January 7, the heads of the
American Telephone and Telegraph
Company "and the British postal system

by radio. This Avas the inaugural of

“The greatest house ever built is the
temple of thoroughly consecrated, high-:
ly deAmted Christian character,” said
Dr. Loy D. Thompson in the baccalau
reate sermon to the mid-term graduates,
Sunday night, January 23, at the West
Market Methodist Church.
Dr. Thompson referred to the early
home-building. The homes were often
crude, but they afforded man a protec
tion. The building of beautiful tem
ples In order that man might haAm
places of Avorship, characterized the
later period. Good roads are not a
neAv thing, but Avere built thousands of
years ago. Many Avonderful buildings
have been constructed but the building
of Christian character is the task of
paramount importance.
“The four-storied house,” AA’as dis
cussed by Dr. Thompson. The four sto
ries Avere “animality, intellectuality,
morality, and spirituality,” the top
story.
“Men may be physically fit, intellec
tually strong and morally straight, but
if they are lacking in spirituality, they
have failed essentially in life,” con
cluded Dr, Thompson. He emphasized
imperatively the need of divine direc
tion.
